Chapter 1212 Jianglong Temple
The Eastern Mausoleum Martial World coveted the Eight-eyed Snake and even more coveted Xiang Nan's secret.
How did the Eight-eyed Heaven Swallowing Python get subdued? What kind of method did it use? If such a great demon appeared again in the future, how would the Eastern Mausoleum Continent deal with it?
The Dongling martial practitioners were eager to find answers to these questions.
Now, a young man had appeared and sealed the Eight-eyed Serpent. Xiang Nan had naturally become the savior in the eyes of the martial practitioners of the Eastern Mausoleum.
However, in their hearts, the word "Savior" was not an evaluation of Xiang Nan, but an evaluation of Xiang Nan's ability.
Therefore, they hoped that they could thoroughly study Xiang Nan and obtain a victory as mysterious as Xiang Nan's.
However, Xiang Nan did not allow it, so they could not force it, and since Teng Yuan was at the side, they could not make a mistake.
However, the Eastern Mausoleum Continent was severely damaged. Officials had to give civilians an explanation. If the Eastern Mausoleum martial artists did not gain anything in this world-destroying war, they would not be convinced.
Therefore, they could not force it, nor would they let Xiang Nan go.
The people from the military and the Martial Arts Sect left the room, but they did not leave the temple.
With Teng Yuan's help, Xiang Nan walked out of the room and discovered that he was already at the Dongling Descending Dragon Temple.
This place was located in the backyard of the Descending Dragon Temple. There were seven relic pagodas standing there. This meant that this temple had a long heritage, and seven Virtuous Monks had appeared.
Outside the temple, there were a hundred thousand strong soldiers, and their defenses were completely blocked. This scale was only slightly looser than their defenses against the Eight-eyed Snake.
Xiang Nan put on a simple monk robe and followed behind Teng Yuan barefoot.
Walking in this sacred Buddhist land, Xiang Nan did not dare to speak rashly, nor did he dare to randomly look at it. He only had a pious heart.
Xiang Nan was respectful towards Buddhism.
The people of the world could obtain benefits from beheading demons, sealing officials, and giving rewards. Only the monks of the Dragon Subduing Temple did not ask for anything in return.
Cultivation techniques and martial skills were knives in the hands of the world, knives that could kill people.
In the hands of a high-ranking Buddhist monk, it was medicine, medicine that could save the world and save people.
The surroundings were filled with small monks, and they felt that each of them had a solid cultivation base, a strong inner aura, and seemed to be quite powerful.
When these Buddhist disciples saw Teng Yuan, they only put their hands together and continued to do their own things.
It seemed that Master Tengyuan usually didn't have any airs, nor did he care about any complicated etiquette.
Xiang Nan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
Teng Yuan smiled and said, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, you'll be safe as long as you stay at the Dragon Subduing Temple for a day."
"Although the Eastern Mausoleum martial artists are unwilling to let you go, I have a way."
"Thank you for taking me in, Senior." Xiang Nan also clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
Teng Yuan smiled and said, "You are not a Buddhist disciple, and you don't need to care about these courtesies. You are free and natural, just be yourself."
Xiang Nan hurriedly asked, "Senior, how are you? When dealing with the Eight-eyed Snake, I saw that you used your Dao. This should be extremely disadvantageous to your body and cultivation."
Dao was like blood essence. There was something in his body, but if he used it, he would definitely self-destruct.
Teng Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, little friend. You are the first one who cares about my health. However, there is one thing I still want to ask you."
Xiang Nan also knew what he wanted to ask, so he respectfully said, "This junior cultivated in the Feiyun Temple. Thank you for your guidance, Soaring Sky and Tengjing. I have learned some Buddhist profound arts."
"That Unparalleled Tribulation Finger was personally passed down by Martial Uncle Teng Jing, while the Great Freedom Scripture in this junior's body was taught by Martial Uncle Teng Kong."
"That's why." Teng Yuan nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"Since Junior Brother Teng Jing has taught you cultivation techniques, it means that you have destiny with Buddhism."
Xiang Nan hurriedly said, "Senior praises me. Junior's killing intent is too heavy and secular. I don't dare to say that I have fate with Buddhism. It's just that being able to recuperate in Buddhism is already terrifying."
Teng Yuan smiled gently and said, "Good child, but we are wholeheartedly cultivating kindness towards Buddha, and your Haoran Sect is wholeheartedly cultivating kindness towards the world. This is no different."
Xiang Nan didn't ask any further. With Master Tengyuan's cultivation, it wasn't strange for him to see that he was a disciple of the Nature's Nature Sect.
However, at this time, all the little monks who passed by this place had horrified expressions on their faces when they saw Xiang Nan. They hurriedly bowed and left, as if they saw something unclean.
Xiang Nan was puzzled. Just now, when those little monks saw him, their faces were still as long as usual, but now, why did they change their appearances?
Could it be that there was something on his face?
Thinking about it, Xiang Nan actually discovered that the flowers and grass in this courtyard had actually withered.
What was even stranger was that the flowers and plants in the distance were originally fine, but when he looked over, they gradually withered.
It was as if he had withered and lost his vitality wherever he looked.
He hurriedly took out the bronze mirror and shone it into his eyes.
His eyes had already turned crystal yellow! However, his pupils were narrow like a pair of snake eyes!
"This is" Xiang Nan's heart sank.
Could it be that it was because of his pair of eyes that the flowers and plants withered and withered?
He hurriedly flipped through his left arm. The eight-eyed serpent was still sealed on his arm and did not flee.
Teng Yuan said, "The Eight-eyed Heaven Swallowing Python was originally ranked third on the Divine Lightning Rankings. It was called the World Slaying Golden Lightning, but it had already cultivated into a demon many years ago. Its evil energy is too heavy."
"Now that you have sealed it in your hand, it looks at the world with your eyes. The grass you look at, the grass withered, the people you look at, the decayed."
"If you condense others over a long period of time, others will suffer greatly. Gradually, their lifespan will decrease and their cultivation will regress, causing their vitality to decline."
Xiang Nan was shocked and hurriedly closed his eyes.
Some great serpent demons indeed possessed strange abilities in their eyes. For example, the Desert Queen closed her eyes all year round. It wasn't that she didn't want to see it, but that she couldn't bear to hurt the world.
After sealing the Eight-eyed Snake, he actually had a pair of peculiar World Exterminating Eyes.
Nowadays, the eight-eyed serpent looked at the world through its own eyes, just like it had personally condensed the world. Wasn't it helping the evil?
"It's good that you shut your eyes in time," Teng Yuan said.
Xiang Nan secretly sighed and thought to himself, It seems that he can't open his eyes in the future unless he finds a way to absorb the full power of the Eight-eyed Serpent.
However, with his current body and realm, he was simply unable to withstand the Eight-eyed Great Snake. Now that he knew that it was the third ranked World Exterminating Golden Lightning, this was the first time he had encountered such a high-grade World Exterminating Divine Lightning.
Even though the Nine Transformations of Thunder was a supreme divine art, he was not a supreme divine being. If he forcefully absorbed it, his body would still explode and die.
"You should be the descendant of the Martial King." Master Tengyuan suddenly said this.
"Yes." Xiang Nan did not conceal anything.
Teng Yuan said, "When I first heard of the Martial King's power, I was also shocked to the heavens. It's only because your realm is insufficient that you can't completely absorb this demon."
"The Eight-eyed Heaven Swallowing Python has reached the fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts, while you are only at the second level of Fortune. The difference between the two is too great."
"If your talent is good enough, you can only absorb it when you are at least at the fourth level of the Divine Martial Arts. If your talent is too good, you can absorb it at the third level of the Divine Martial Arts."
"But if your talent is exceptionally good, you can absorb it at the first level of the Divine Martial Arts."
At this point, Teng Yuan looked deeply at Xiang Nan and said, "If your talent is peerless, you can absorb it at the ninth level of Good Fortune."
These words were very meaningful, making Xiang Nan feel as if he had been seen through by others.
No one had ever been able to see through Xiang Nan's divine talent. However, Buddhist monks had a pair of eyes that were different from the rest of the world, especially Teng Yuan. His Dao could see through six reincarnations.
Presumably, the Divine Grade Lightning Meridian talent could not be concealed from him.
