Chapter 146: Can I Regret It?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The mystical Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, the mystical abbot, and the mystical Monk Fusan.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the five huge demonic dens.

They were bottomless, filled with countless demonic creatures wanting to taste freedom.

Monk Fusan suppressed these demonic creatures despite his condition, not daring to slack off at all.

He looked at his lower body with a wry smile and said, “Look at me. Do you think that I can stop the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower from causing trouble?”

Lin Jiufeng looked at him.

Indeed…

He couldn’t leave for even a moment.

Even under his constant suppression, two of the seals had loosened. If he were to leave for even a moment, the demonic creatures in the five demonic dens would immediately erupt. They would break through the seals and come out directly.

What would happen next was obvious.

“Then, do you know what that monk Shengyun had been doing all these years?”

Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I have a rough idea, but I don’t know the specifics. I’ve been too distracted by the demonic dens here that I no longer have the energy to care about the outside world.”

Monk Fusan shook his head.

“What is the origin of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower?” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.

Monk Fusan recalled and said, “The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was created when I was young. At that time, these underground caves were already here and they were very terrifying. In my memory, that was during the peak of the previous era…”

“The demonic creatures in these underground caves all needed immortals to suppress them.”

“But later on, the era came to an end. The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower also sealed itself. It was my turn to manage this place for these years. And decades ago, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower released its own seal and appeared in this era. I have been suppressing the demonic dens all this time.”

“But for some reason, Monk Shengyun had evil intentions and broke a corner of the seal.”

“The demonic creatures took advantage of the situation and a few managed to escape. The poisonous python was one of them. I had no choice but to enter death seclusion, planning to sacrifice myself just to continue to seal these demonic dens.”

Monk Fusan spoke in a relaxed manner, but there was still a lot of bitterness in his heart.

His life could be said to be very extraordinary.

His cultivation base was slightly higher than Lin Jiufeng’s.

In this era and under the current circ.u.mstances, he was unparalleled.

But his life was also very ordinary.

He spent the first half of his life cultivating diligently and watching others suppress the five demonic dens. Then, he spent the rest of his life suppressing the five demonic dens.

It could be said that he had never left the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower even once.

That was why he was tricked and trapped here by Monk Shengyun.

“How many demonic creatures are in there?” Lin Jiufeng licked his lips.

The demonic dens that were terrifying in the eyes of the common people were priceless treasures in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

Discovering a demonic den was something that could only be encountered by luck.

Not to mention that there were five of them here.

The smallest of these five dens was larger than the one in Dalin Temple.

And it was bigger, not just a bit.

But by a huge margin.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was truly powerful.

This old monk was also the most powerful person Lin Jiufeng had encountered so far.

Unfortunately, he was already on the verge of death.

The past few days of suppression had depleted all of his energy.

Monk Fusan was now unrecognizable as a human.

It was hard to believe that more than ten years ago, he was a handsome and elegant middle-aged monk.

Because of Monk Shengyun, Monk Fusan had suffered a lot.

Monk Fusan sighed and said, “Once the demonic creatures inside escaped, they can easily destroy this world.”

He wanted to make the matter sound more serious.

Hopefully, it would scare Lin Jiufeng.

But who knew that after Lin Jiufeng heard it, his eyes lit up and he became even more excited.

“There’s so many of them?” Lin Jiufeng’s tone was filled with eagerness.

Monk Fusan looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Looking at the thousand feet golden body behind Lin Jiufeng, he softly said, “You want to deal with these demonic creatures?”

“Yup. Let’s make a deal.” Lin Jiufeng nodded and suddenly said.

Monk Fusan was stunned. He asked, “What deal?”

“I know that you are already on the brink of death, but with your cultivation base, you can definitely hold on for a while longer. How long can you hold on for?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

Monk Fusan was the same as Lin Jiufeng, both of them were at the Boundless Realm.

In fact, the former was even a little further than Lin Jiufeng in the Boundless Realm.

“The Boundless Realm has the Celestial Ascension Stage, which consists of 33 steps. I am on the fourth step,” said Monk Fusan.

“I’m slightly inferior to you. I am on the third,” Lin Jiufeng replied.

“The Celestial Ascension Stage isn’t about strength. If we were to really fight, I would definitely be inferior to you. All that you’ve learned are killing techniques, I’m no match for you at all.” Monk Fusan shook his head.

He knew himself well.

When he saw the thousand feet golden body behind Lin Jiufeng, he knew that he was no match for Lin Jiufeng.

“If I stopped suppressing these demonic dens, I can still live for another 30 years.” Monk Fusan calculated carefully and said seriously.

“30 years? That’s enough.” Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and replied.

“Enough for what?” Monk Fusan looked at Lin Jiufeng in confusion.

“I will help you solve the threat of these five demonic dens, eliminate the demonic creatures, and free you from this burden. You won’t have to waste your body’s energy and life anymore.” Lin Jiufeng stated.

“What price do I have to pay?” Monk Fusan wasn’t overjoyed hearing this.

He knew that there was no free lunch in the world.

There was always a price to pay for everything.

“Move to the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and then protect the imperial family of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty for me. I only want you to protect three people—Emperor De, the Empress Dowager, and Princess Yulin!” Lin Jiufeng said.

“That’s all?” Monk Fusan looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

To think that Lin Jiufeng would want him to protect!

But he didn’t say that Monk Fusan had to protect them personally.

As a result, he could stay in the imperial capital and do whatever he wanted.

He just had to ensure the safety of these three people.

“How many years of protection?” Monk Fusan asked.

He was tempted.

Compared to his current miserable state, he was naturally willing to protect others.

“You still have 30 years to live, so go and protect them for 10 years. In these 10 years, you can also do your best to heal up. Once the peak of this golden era arrives, you might be able to continue walking on the Boundless Realm and do a magnificent comeback,” Lin Jiufeng said.

This was also within the realm of possibility.

Monk Fusan thought seriously for a while and replied, “I’ll protect them for 20 years. I feel guilty protecting them for just ten years. These demonic dens are very dangerous. If you truly solved this problem for me, I will feel bad if I don’t protect them for 20 years…”

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I only have the last 30 years of my life to live, I will definitely protect them for a few more years.”

Lin Jiufeng looked at Monk Fusan in surprise.

He actually complained that 10 years wasn’t enough and took the initiative to add another 10 years.

“Don’t regret your words,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“A monk never lies,” Monk Fusan said firmly.

“Besides, I know how dangerous these five demonic dens are. Even if you can solve them, you will have to expend half of your life force. I naturally won’t be unwilling to spend another extra ten years to protect them in exchange for that sacrifice.” Monk Fusan added.

Lin Jiufeng had a strange look on his face as he said, “You thought that it would be very difficult for me to handle these five demonic dens and that is why you added ten more years?”

“Yes.” Monk Fusan nodded.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t say anything else.

He just took out the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

Then, he opened it.

Afterwards, he injected all of his True Qi into it.

At the same time, he controlled the thousand feet golden body and forced it to stomp down with its foot.

Boom!

The seal opened—the demonic creatures from the five demonic dens immediately rushed out.

The scene of them moving at the same time, and rus.h.i.+ng out all at once was mind-numbing!

But with the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait, their dreams of attaining freedom were nothing but pipe dreams.

Just like in Dalin Temple, every demonic creature was devoured and killed by the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.

Not a single one of them was spared.

Lin Jiufeng remained indifferent.

He let his thousand feet golden body keep an eye on the demonic creatures.

Some of them were lucky enough to escape from the painting and were directly killed by his golden body.

These five demonic dens were nothing before Lin Jiufeng.

The scene of the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait’s slaughter made the eyes of Monk Fusan twitch.

“Can I regret it?” Monk Fusan truly wanted to say this.
