CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 241 "DO NOT TELL WANYU AND NANZHI"/AND EMPEROR SHITIAN! (TWO TITLES)_6

Emperor Kongwu snorted coldly: "The method you practice, how is it different from mine?"

Fan Zhouxing chuckled lightly: "I am in this era."

Emperor Kongwu sneered: "And yet you still want to pick the peaches?"

"Because..." Fan Zhouxing sighed deeply: "This body is a ’dead thing’.+"

Emperor Kongwu understood the meaning hidden in Fan Zhouxing’s words: his fathers, namely those venerable monks who had passed into nirvana, were already dead. Although Emperor Shitian had grown into a powerful figure, his innate foundation was insufficient.

"I deliberately arranged for my reincarnation and retraining." Fan Zhouxing rubbed the Netherworld Validation in his hand: "I even did not hesitate to comprehend the path of reincarnation. I thought I succeeded, but..."

He looked down at his own hands, smiled helplessly: "Ultimately, I am not worthy of being the ’Buddha’s son’.+"

Fan Zhouxing sighed lightly, then looked up at the Sky Dome, suddenly his smile brightened: "When Zhouxing was born, I was targeted by the Upper Realm, but they were not successful. However, I succeeded.

The Mahayana Buddhism in the Upper Realm is truly exquisite, having such a perfect body seizing technique. It wasn’t in vain that I painstakingly managed for so many years and finally awaited such a fitting opportunity.+"

Listening to Fan Zhouxing’s words, Emperor Kongwu felt a chilling unease rising from within: "You want to possess that lad?"

"The Buddha said it is unspeakable." Fan Zhouxing looked at Emperor Kongwu: "Please, hurry.+"

"And you let him escape?!" Emperor Kongwu’s eyes were sinisterly cold, a sense of helplessness rising within.

In the past, she hoped that the Great Infinite Buddha would suppress Emperor Shitian, then she hoped Emperor Shitian could kill the Great Infinite Buddha, and later she hoped that these two Buddhas would be defeated together.

But now, she returned to the starting point: desperately hoping the Great Infinite Buddha could win.

"This is not the world of the Great Infinite Buddha." Fan Zhouxing pointed calmly at the Black Lotus in the sky: "That old guy is not my match.

Besides, that Flame Dragon harbors a secret.+"

Emperor Kongwu clenched both hands: "That kid, what is his origin? Which sect’s Saint Heir?"

"Wandao Sect." Fan Zhouxing did not hide it, after all, Emperor Kongwu certainly was still absorbing the Supreme Yang Power from the snake.

After all, only upon completing absorption could Emperor Kongwu have a slight chance to turn the tide.

Even though Emperor Kongwu had always stayed in the Buddha Burial Valley, she wasn’t completely unfamiliar with outside affairs because she’d acquired relevant intelligence from the monks she had absorbed.

"Zheng Dongliu, the number one person in this era, and you, this lowly offspring, will be his match?" Emperor Kongwu sneered.

"No," Fan Zhouxing smiled faintly: "But he now has a weakness."

"That kid surnamed Lu?"

"Indeed." Fan Zhouxing sighed with emotion: "Zheng Dongliu has never held such hope, and indeed, he really is getting old. Old enough that maybe he no longer has the energy to cultivate another Saint Heir."

As the words fell, Fan Zhouxing’s expression became joyful once more: "And, would Zheng Dongliu think I did something?"

A flicker of doubt flashed in Emperor Kongwu’s eyes, watching Fan Zhouxing grin: "I am a higher-ranked monk than the Great Infinite Buddha himself.

Reading ten thousand volumes and traveling ten thousand miles, I approach with a Buddhist heart, and when the heart is calm, the world is at peace, who among the world would not give a glance to Emperor Shitian?

Everyone wishes to help me... whether it is Zheng Dongliu or Shangguan Qizheng, or others.+"

Emperor Kongwu looked at this demon monk with an evil smile, this Fan Zhouxing’s soul was her child, so... was it karma?

After a moment of silence, Emperor Kongwu’s voice turned somewhat dry: "You weren’t like this before... some traits, you can’t fake.+"

"You understand me well." Fan Zhouxing pressed his palms together, slightly bowing his head: "After all, you are this little monk’s mother, but...+"

He suddenly looked up, his smile growing more sinister: "How vast are the human Five Desires and Six Dusts? I am unwilling, unwilling to be unable to reach the other shore due to innate shortcomings; I truly am unwilling.

So... people do change."

Fan Zhouxing reached out and snapped off a petal from the Green Lotus: "Mortals believe that immortals are free from desires and wholeheartedly pursue Tao, but what about the immortals?

Ah, immortality is a process of moving mountains, I moved this mountain, but unfortunately, on the other side stands another mountain, I just want to move it away.+"

Fan Zhouxing slowly rose from the Green Lotus, his gaze turning towards the snake on Emperor Kongwu’s Dharma Body: "You moved the mountain that stood in front of you using the Eternal Life Technique...

Isn’t it the same?"

Emperor Kongwu retreated a few steps, her expression twisted like a Rashamon: "Do you really think this lowly offspring that I have no trick left?"

Fan Zhouxing looked down from above at Emperor Kongwu: "You know me, but I also know you."

He smiled, making an inviting gesture: "Why not say, I’m also waiting for your final move, to completely end this karma."

Emperor Kongwu gripped her hands tightly: "What if I don’t act?"

"Are you willing to die?" Fan Zhouxing’s voice was light, yet thunderous.

He knew very well that Emperor Kongwu, who had survived toward death, was not willing to die; having lurked for tens of thousands of years, how could she want to die?

"Do you dare to kill me?" Emperor Kongwu glared at Fan Zhouxing: "Didn’t you say, you haven’t completely severed this karma."

"Though it is so, still..." Fan Zhouxing’s smile expanded: "Child only wishes to give you a bit of dignity."

"Is that so?" Emperor Kongwu suddenly pressed her palms together, and at this moment, the massive Dharma Golden Body directly crushed the snake into pieces, leaving no remains.

She looked innocently at Fan Zhouxing: "Now, I can’t fully merge the Supreme Yang Power, and you can’t pick the peaches either, what shall we do?"

Fan Zhouxing’s face gradually darkened, and Emperor Kongwu really liked his current expression: "After all, I understand you, this lowlife, better."

Emperor Kongwu laughed wildly, but as she laughed, she suddenly heard another wild laughter.

"Hahaha..."

Louder than hers, the laughter was filled with ridicule.

Emperor Kongwu’s smile froze on her face, looking at Fan Zhouxing on the Green Lotus Platform, clutching his belly with laughter, without a trace of the demeanor of an enlightened monk. She opened her mouth, her face turning hideous again, her voice piercing: "Lowly offspring, what are you laughing at?!"

"Child is laughing at you!" Fan Zhouxing abruptly stopped his laughter, looking playfully at Emperor Kongwu: "I laugh at your stupidity!"

Bam!

Fan Zhouxing pressed his hands together, Buddhist chanting spread—

"Six Paths... Reincarnation!"
