Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After parting with Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang, Li Nianfan and the rest embarked on their journey.

The destination was the Spiritual Land Mountain.

Since they were not in a hurry, they did not travel on clouds. Li Nianfan walked with Jiese. They walked and killed monsters on the way there.

The view on the way was slightly different from the last time. Back then, Li Nianfan was new to this place, and he was either rushing or traveling by cloud to the destination. Now that he had Jiese as his tour guide, it was much better.

Even the smoke on the way had increased. The bald head of the monk was not only a good light bulb, it was also very useful. When they passed by some small villages, the villagers treated the monk friendlier than usual.

However, since Yun Yiyi was there, Li Nianfan was unable to see how Jiese would actually behave. What a pity.

Meanwhile, the crowd was having a good time on the mountain. Other than Jiese, each of them had a skewer with some rabbit meat in hand. They roasted the meat above a campfire.

After spending some time together, Yun Yiyi soon realized what kind of expert Li Nianfan was. For example, the skewer in his hand was an Immortal Item. It might as well be one of the coolest Immortal Items. Yet, he used it as a skewer.

She was not aware of those in the past. After getting ahold of his fruits and wine, she felt embarrassed. Luckily, Li Nianfan was very friendly, so she did not embarrass herself too badly.

She was no longer talking about capturing Jiese back with her to get married in front of Li Nianfan.

Sizz...

The white rabbit had been skinned. It was now red and thoroughly burnt. Its fats were oozing out as the meat’s aroma wafted in the air.

Li Nianfan smiled, “Just add some cumin and it’ll be ready.”

Everyone stared at the roasted rabbit in hand. They were all wearing looks of anticipation.

All except Jiese.

He was facing the crowd with his back, his palms clasped together. He seemed to be praying. However, his trembling body made it apparent that he was not happy about it.

When the meat’s aroma reached its peak, he stood up and everyone heard a loud gulp. He said with a hoarse voice, “I’ll go get some greens.”

With that said, he turned into light and went away. In the air, some saliva was dripping silently.

It did not take long before he came back. He had a round bowl in hand. There was some food inside the bowl.

Jiese smiled and said, “I’m quite lucky. I found some meat this time around.”

Nanan could not help asking, “Monk, I thought you don’t eat meat?”

She pouted. She did not seem happy. The meat prepared by Li Nianfan was so delicious and yet, the monk did not eat it. In fact, he went away to find his own food? How rude!

Li Nianfan smiled, “Nanan, there are three types of meat that the monk doesn’t eat. They don’t eat animals that are killed, they cannot smell food that had been killed and those that were killed with intentions. The fact that Jiese was able to resist the temptation of such delicious food is quite admirable.”

Jiese nodded and sighed. “Mr. Li’s right. This meal smells too delicious. It’s such a pity that I don’t have the blessing to taste it.”

Dragin widened her eyes. She instantly looked up to Jiese. She spoke in awe, “You’re able to resist the food prepared by Brother Nianfan! You’re inhuman!”

Munch! Munch!

She spoke while chewing the rabbit meat. Her mouth opened and closed as oil coated her lips. One could tell how delicious the food was just by watching her eat.

A test!

This was obviously a test of his practice.

He had to withstand it! He had to be a desire-less monk!

Jiese gulped. He walked to the side in silence and lowered his head. He started to eat his own food.

The taste of his food was ordinary. Even with the aroma of their food, Jiese was able to use his imagination to help with his food.

“What good is there in becoming a monk?” Yun Yiyi leaned toward him. She hesitated before handing an orange to him. “Here, I’m full.”

Jiese halted for a second. “I can still eat the orange from Mr. Li.”

Yun Yiyi scoffed, “I know, but how’s this enough for you? On the way, when we ate meat, you refused. When we drank, you refused. Do you know how many opportunities you’ve missed? My cultivation’s exceeding yours soon.”

“Thank you, benefactress.” Jiese accepted the orange.

Yun Yiyi frowned. “Benefactress? It sounds so bad.”

Jiese said, “Miss Yun, although the lotus leaf can speed up one’s understanding, it’s very eerie. I think you shouldn’t use it too often.”

Yun Yiyi looked around. Then, she said, “You want it? Sure, once you marry me, I can give you anything you want.”

“Amitabha.” Jiese had a serious look. “Miss Yun only likes me because I’m handsome. If it wasn’t for my looks, would you still like me?”

“Yes.”

“Whatever you like about me, I will change.”

“I admire your dedication.”

Jiese was speechless.

After filling up, the crowd continued their journey. They had seen many places and people. If there was a temple, they would even spend a night there because of Jiese.

That day, the crowd was rushing.

By a dark corner, a few dark figures appeared.

One of the figures was extremely huge. It was lying in the valley. Its body was able to fill up the entire valley. As it gradually opened its gigantic eyes, it said, “They’re here.”

Hwa-la!

On its body, a layer of dark green flame started burning. Then, it gradually stood up.

It had a lion’s head, antler horns, tiger eyes, dragon scales, and an oxtail all in one. However, the color of its body was as dark as ink.

“Phoenix, Nine-tailed Fox, and the Dragon. Ha-ha. It’s been so many years, who’d have thought that we, the four beasts, could gather together?” Its tone was quite harsh and mocking.

By the side, a dark figure gradually spoke, “As Lord Demon said, you’ll take charge of the rest of them, but the Buddhist must die!”

This black figure was as skinny as a stick. Its eyes were sunken. It had some severe malnutrition. Undoubtedly, he was the Big Lord Demon.

“Ha-ha.”

Black Kirin glared at Big Lord Demon. He could not help scoffing. Obviously, this was not his first time seeing him, but whenever he saw the Big Lord Demon looking this way, he could not help but laugh.

He remembered how powerful the Big Lord Demon used to be. Its body was better than any demon.

Black Kirin suggested, “I think you should change your name to the Scrawny Lord Demon.”

The Big Lord Demon looked troubled. He was angry but did not dare to complain. “They have a Purple Golden Gourd. My essence was sucked away by them. I’m unlikely to get fat again. You should be careful.”

“I’ve been rewarded with the shadow of the River Map Chart. They’re nothing in comparison to that,” Black Kirin said with pride. The dark green flame was boiling around him, ready to attack anytime. He sighed and said helplessly, “Things were going according to plan. Why did so many changes happen all of a sudden?”

The Big Lord Demon shook his head. He analyzed and said, “I’m not sure, Lord Demon told me about the arrangement. The humans should be getting weaker while the demons like us would rule them. The smaller demons were supposed to vanish while you guys become the Demon Lords. The Immortals would decrease, leaving only the stronger ones. They will become the rulers of the entire world.”

“Unless one of us changed.” Black Kirin’s tone was unfriendly. He shut his mouth and used mind control to pass this on, “Could it be Dao Zu? His shrewdness is too deep. He’s always been calculative, everyone has been trapped by him!”

“Probably not,” the Big Demon King replied using mind control. “Lord Demon said that after the Absolute Era, it would be the Age of Decadence. This was the general trend, even Dao Zhu was pushing for it. He even trapped the other Saints and disciples. It’s unlikely that he betrayed us at this time.”

“Then, what’s the reason?” Black Kirin looked at Big Lord Demon.

“You’re doubting us? Are you crazy! It’s even unlikely that it’s us! This matter’s beneficial for us, so unless we’ve gone crazy, would we make a Human Sovereign, Buddhism, and Confucianism appear? All of these are beneficial for the human race!” The Big Lord Demon’s eyes glinted. He continued, “Unfortunately, the demon race is being restricted. We can only use the demon men to move around in the ordinary realm. If not, we could’ve gotten hold of more information.”

“Hmph, perhaps someone wanted to get everything for himself? Or some lucky survivor counterattacked before death?” Black Kirin’s brows furrowed. He could not help saying, “As I’ve suggested back then, we should vanquish all of the humans and destroy the bridge to Immortalization completely. This is the safest way. The Absolute Era’s too gentle.”

Big Lord Demon said, “It’s too late to say anything now. We need to get things back on track

“This isn’t too difficult. How many survivors are there in the world left to fight with us? We just have to obliterate all the variables!” Black Kirin scoffed coldly, its eyes filled with violence and arrogance. Its four hoofs rose to the air with black auspicious clouds. “Sit back and watch how I’m going to make you all proud. Hmph!”

“Wait up!” The Big Lord Demon suddenly said.

“Hmm?” Black Kirin was disturbed. It seemed displeased.

“I think I’ve left something out. Wait up, let me think.” The Big Lord Demon panicked. He frowned, “The gourd’s really bad. Perhaps it sucked out my wisdom? I can’t think all of a sudden.”

“Never mind, take your time to think. You can tell me when I get back, I’ll go first!”
