Chapter 9: Why A Double Bed?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This is the Triple Lifetime Body technique of the Buddhist Sect.”

Lu Xuan pointed at the stone Buddha fragments on the ground.

“The seal on this lotus throne is very strong. Even the demon couldn’t break it when he was at his peak. But after sitting on the lotus throne for many years, he found a way to escape.”

Lu Xuan pinched the hideous Buddha face.

“He divided himself into three parts. His past body, which was also his former demonic body, stayed in the City of Death to be imprisoned. His present body and his future body escaped.”

Although the three bodies were actually one, each had its own consciousness and could barely be considered different individuals.

That was why the Evil Buddha was so angry when Lu Xuan questioned him in the Evil Buddha Hall.

After all, he was the one in prison, while the other two bodies enjoyed themselves carefreely.

Cheng Lingzhu frowned. “Since that’s the case, wouldn’t the otherworldly demons in monk robes have already begun to bring disaster to the commoners?”

“33 days…It hasn’t been long. If there was really a disaster, it wouldn’t have erupted so quickly.”

Lu Xuan thought of the Cultivation Daily. “Nothing has happened so far. I’m confident that I can capture him before the disaster strikes.”

Hearing this, Cheng Lingzhu’s heart calmed down a little.

“In addition, after this is over, I have some things I want to ask you, Fellow Daoist Cheng.”

Lu Xuan finished the tea in his cup and said gently, “Don’t worry, it won’t involve the secrets of your sect. It’s just about an old friend…Please don’t refuse, Fellow Daoist.”

Cheng Lingzhu thought for a moment. “Senior Brother, just ask away. I will tell you everything I know.”

“Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask me, especially when it comes to the cultivation of the Golden Core stage. I know quite a lot about that aspect.”

Lu Xuan was very confident.

Cheng Lingzhu didn’t have much to ask about cultivation. However, just as she got up, her palm touched the edge of the bed.

She pressed the bedboard a few times and felt that it was very elastic.

Lu Xuan noticed Cheng Lingzhu’s actions and thought that she wanted to learn how to weave vines.

Who knew that Cheng Lingzhu would say, “Well…why a double bed?”

Lu Xuan was speechless

Saintess Cheng’s focus was very strange.

In fact, ever since she woke up, Lu Xuan felt that there was something wrong with the Saintess in front of him.

But the key was…

He could really answer this question.

Normal cultivators would not develop such a spell technique that could accelerate the growth of vines and plants and make them grow into furniture on their own.

A normal cultivator would not make a bed for their companion to lie on after they fainted.

The problem could be solved with a wooden board, a cloud, and a flying carpet, but he had to use his magic power to stimulate the growth of plants and weave a bed that was more than enough for two people to rest on.

It was strange indeed.

Lu Xuan had to admit that he had only come up with this technique after his filial piety hardened.

The purpose was naturally…

When he was in the wilderness with his master, it was more convenient to improve the relationship between master and disciple.

Today, when Cheng Lingzhu was unconscious, he had conveniently cast a spell to weave a bed.

It could only be said that…he only did so out of habit after having done so too many times.

Of course, he definitely couldn’t tell this to Saintess Cheng.

Lu Xuan explained, “The bed is bigger. It’s more convenient to lie down and watch the stars. It’s more comfortable to sit up as well.”

Cheng Lingzhu looked up at the sky.

It was noon, and the trees were mottled with sunlight.

Looking at her expression, Lu Xuan smiled without saying a word.

For someone like Saintess Cheng who had never experienced it before, of course, she would not know that sometimes, the stars were in one’s eyes.

…

An hour later, Cheng Lingzhu, who was meditating on the double bed, opened her eyes.

The fatigue in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes were bright and lively like a lake in autumn.

The Ancestral Master’s Spirit Subjugation was a forbidden Immortal Dao technique.

In essence, they used their special identities as saintesses and saints to communicate with the sect’s altar and draw a wisp of true spiritual power over to strengthen themselves, thereby achieving a leap in combat strength.

There were two basic requirements for using this forbidden technique.

Firstly, there were people above them, so they couldn’t be used unless they were from a top-notch immortal sect.

Second, they had to be saints or saintesses who had been recognized by the sect’s ceremony and would be in charge of the sect in the future to be qualified to use this power.

After using this secret technique, the caster’s magic power, physical strength, and spiritual power would all be exhausted and they would need time to recover.

Other than that, there was no cost or side effects.

In fact, when one was in a lower realm, they could see the mysteries of the immortal path, which would be beneficial for their future cultivation.

This was the disciple of a top-notch immortal sect.

Other than the advantage of cultivation resources, they would benefit from more cheats than others.

Lu Xuan was envious.

The Dao Evolution Sect had produced more than one Perfect Immortal, but they had never passed down such a spirit-subjugating technique.

There was a historical gap in the Archean Eon World with the establishment of the Dao Evolution Sect as the node.

The history before the Dao Evolution Sect was established was called the Ancient Era, and after it was established, it was called the Modern Era.

Only the disciples of the immortal sects who had existed since ancient times and had passed the knowledge down to this day could use this secret technique.

The history of the ancient times was unclear, and many books were lost.

Even among these immortal sects, there were not many records of that era.

Logically speaking, the Dao Evolution Sect’s ancestor rose to prominence at the end of the Ancient Era and personally started the Modern Era.

No matter what, the Dao Evolution Sect should be considered half an ancient immortal sect.

However, the forbidden Ancestral Spirit Subjugation technique was not passed down in the sect.

Lu Xuan speculated.

It might have something to do with the ancestor secretly learning from the hundred schools of thought.

He would cut a volume here and steal a volume there, resulting in too many sources of the True Dao Evolution Technique.

If a disciple were to use the Ancestral Master’s forbidden technique…

They might even pull the ancestors of other families out from the big card pool.

“Senior Brother Lu, what should we do next?”

Cheng Lingzhu’s eyes were clear, and she had already recovered to her peak condition.

“Of course, I’m going to find the other two lives of the Evil Buddha.”

When Lu Xuan did things, he always had a beginning and an end.

“Where can we find one?” Cheng Lingzhu was a little confused.

Lu Xuan rubbed his temples. In fact, he was a little regretful.

He had attacked too quickly in the City of Death and killed the Evil Buddha with a single strike.

The entire City of Death was destroyed in one move. The Evil Buddha died too cleanly, not even leaving a trace of his aura.

If he had left behind a bit of his demonic body, things would be easier to resolve.

“However, it’s not like I don’t have any ideas.”

Lu Xuan thought for a moment. “If this demon wants to recover his strength, there are only two ways.

“One is to use the Heavenly Demon technique to slaughter living beings and absorb their blood essence and origin…The possibility of that isn’t very high.”

He had read the Cultivation Daily these few days but didn’t read about any demons causing trouble.

After all, demons weren’t stupid. If they carried out a large-scale massacre, it would cause too much of a commotion. It was easy for them to be targeted by the mighty figures of Archean Eon World.

After being sealed in the City of Death for a long time, the Heavenly Demon’s strength had been greatly reduced. It had not been easy for him to escape, so he would not take such a risk.

“The second way is probably to use the Buddhist Dharma that he comprehended.”

Lu Xuan thought of the controlled people in the City of Death and the cultivators of the Heavenly Water Temple in the Evil Buddha Hall who were knocking wooden fish like puppets.

This method of infiltration and bewitchment was subtle and much more low-key than the first method.
