By the time the Wandering Monk arrived at the village, the sun had already disappeared below the horizon. The gentle breeze from the mountains caused the villagers to take deep breaths on their strolls.As an esteemed and powerful guest, the Wandering Monk was invited into the village head"s home.
Upon his arrival, an old man standing in front of a little manor walked up and came to greet him with an amiable smile, saying: "Wise Monk, I"d like to thank you on behalf of everyone in the village for agreeing to help us."
The village head was an old man in his late sixties. He looked very amiable and dependable. Despite his old age, he was still physically fit. From this, one could tell that he"s used to doing hard manual labor.
"Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied paG.o.da. Furthermore, Buddhism takes pleasure in the welfare of all living things. This is something any monk should do." Calmly answered the wandering Monk while placing both his palms together.
For some reason, the village head"s felt as though the voice of the Wandering Monk was very soothing and contained a calming effect that made him somewhat relax.
"Still, thank you for agreeing to help us, Master. I know it"s kinda late, I already reserved a room for the Master to spend the night."
Even though the Wandering Monk still acted as though helping them wasn"t a big deal and was something that he should do as a Monk, the village head still thanked him profusely. As the Village Head, he was responsible for the well being of the villagers.
"Amitabha, this poor Monk thanks the Benefactor for his hospitality."" The Wandering Monk said while placing both his palms together again.
"I should be the one thanking you Master." Hurriedly replied the Monk.
After taking the Wandering Monk to his room, the old village head did not prolong the conversation and bother the Monk anymore as he left with his wife.
After the couple left, the Wandering Monk gently closed the door behind them.
After making sure that no one else was around, the amiable smile on the Wandering Monk"s face suddenly disappeared as he coldly said: " d.a.m.n it! I feel so bored and annoyed that I want to kill someone."
"I"ve never worked this hard to obtain something," He added with a tiring look on his face.
"It felt kinda weird to go sleep in this appearance, I guess I should change back my true appearance just for the night."
Having said that, the appearance of the old Wandering Monk suddenly changed into that of a youngster.
That youth was very tall and looked around the age of fifteen. He was dressed in a robe that even whiter than snow.
His silky black hair flowed down his back like black ink of a tilted piece of parchment. His body was as toned as any man could wish his to be
This youth was incredibly handsome with a flawless facial appearance. It could be said that his appearances were simply unrivaled throughout the world and was a natural lady killer.
Unlike before when he appeared as the Wandering Monk, this youth had a natural demonic and evil air around him.
This youth was none other than the famous Ling Chen, the highest existence in the Heaven Desolate Region.
It"s already been four years and seven months since he left the Heaven Desolate Region along with Fang Lan and his children.
After the death of the Saint Beast Wudi and the Eagle Saint as well as the annihilation of all the powerful demon beasts in the Demon Territory, the Humans had become the strongest race in the Heaven Desolate Region.
It didn"t take them long before they"ve turned the entire Demon Beast Territory into their own backyard. The Heavenly Demon Sect has occupied the Saint Tiger Demon Beast"s Clan Domain which had a Dragon Spirit Vein and didn"t care about anything else.
Though the Heavenly Demon Sect didn"t care about ruling over the Heaven Desolate Region, it didn"t mean that they would let go of such a gold mine like the Saint Tiger Demon Beast"s Clan Domain.
Not to mention, all these were done by their Guardian. Furthermore, after news about Ling Chen killing the two Saint Beasts and the powerful all the powerful demon beast in the Demon Beast Territory, many people started to view as a savior and protector.
These powerful demon beasts had always been torn in their hearts. With them gone, many people started to relax and also took the opportunity to venture into the Demon Beast territory in such of richest and wealth.
After Ling Chen had killed the Saint Beast Bai Wudi and the Eagle Saint, he didn"t stay long in the Heaven Desolate Region.
It only stayed two months or so before he left for the Divine Demon Beast Region.
He didn"t leave because he wanted too, but because he realized how many powerful people that wanted him dead after going through the memories of the Saint Beast Wudi before he had killed him and absorb his blood and life essence.
Aside from that, he had also learned about the importance of the key to the Ten DemiG.o.ds in the Heaven Suppression Region as well as the Nine Beast G.o.ds in the Divine Demon Beast Region. Though they referred themselves as Beast G.o.d, they actually possessed the strength of a Half-G.o.d rank, like the Ten Demi-G.o.ds.
As such, in order to get stronger to protect himself and his family, he had decided to leave the Heaven Desolate Region to increase his strength.
Unlike other warriors, he couldn"t absorb the true Qi energy to strengthen himself and can only do so by killing and absorb the blood and life essence of his victims.
He needed to go to a place that had many powerful foes, a place where the law of the jungle took precedence over everything and that place was the Divine Demon Beast Region.
Through the memories of the Saint Beast Bai Wudi, he found out how to get there.
As the Heaven Desolate Region and the Divine Demon Beast Region were separated by a vast ocean with countless dangerous Sea Demon Beast, it only took him three months to go there by flying.
After making it there, he along with his children began their reign terror. However, after a year, Ling Chen realized that his cultivation couldn"t increase anymore no matter how many powerful demon beasts he killed.
It was as if he had hit a bottleneck like those regular human warriors. Though it took him a little while, he eventually found out the reason why his cultivation couldn"t increase anymore and that was because of the seven fruits within his upper-Dantian.
To make matter worse, this problem didn"t only affect him. It also affected Ling Lei and the others in a major way.
Just like him, they would hit a wall after some time and that was because they could never reach a realm before him.
He was like a guide that"s leading the way to them. It was one of the main reasons that Ling Chen wanted to quickly solve that problem.
Unlike the previous Fruits Of Creation where they grew bigger as he killed and absorb the blood and life essence of his enemies, these seven fruits required him to do good deeds in order for them to grow bigger and mature.
The more grateful someone felt towards him after he had helped them in some way, the faster and bigger the fruits would grow.
Furthermore, there were also some kind of restrictions such as what kinda people he helped. Were they good people? Were they truly in need? Etc.
After many experiments, Ling Chen realized that it worked best on humans and beastmen. He also discovered that he got more grat.i.tude by curing people, more precisely regular mortal.
It was also the reason why he left the Divine Demon Beast Region to the Heaven Suppression Region.
As for why he was disguising as Monk instead of a Doctor, he knew that nothing about medicine, he could only use the light True Qi energy within his upper-dantian to cure some sickness and his dark power to absorb poisons.
Another reason he came to the Heaven Suppression Region was to check on the Ten Demi-G.o.ds as well as getting more information about the Great Luo Martial G.o.d"s Tomb and the key in his hand.
According to what he knew, aside from the key he had in his possession, there were eight more. Five of them were in humans possession while the rest of the three were in the hands of the demon beasts.
According to legend, only by uniting the nine keys would the location of the Great Luo Martial G.o.d be revealed.
At this moment, lying on the bed within his room, Ling Chen felt a little bit lonely. He was all alone in this endeavor in the Heaven Suppression Region with no one to keep him company.
Fang Lan and the others didn"t come with him and decided to stay in the Divine Demon Beast Region to continue increasing their strength.
In terms of size, the Divine Demon Beast Region was slightly bigger than the Heaven Suppression Region.
Aside from having many powerful demon beasts, the true Qi energy in the Divine Demon Beast Region was four times thicker than that of the Heaven Desolate Region.
It was even stronger and more concentrated than the ones in the Heaven Suppression Region.
The last thing he remembered was that before he left the Divine Demon Beast Region, They were trying to make their own influences.
