I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

"Really?!"

Great Peacock Bright King was a little surprised, "You really want to give me this drop of precious blood?"

Opposite her was Jiang Li, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

In Jiang Li's hand was a black dragon-patterned cauldron, the dragon patterns on it like living things. Every dragon pattern was moving, its eyes intelligent, flashing with cold light, captivating the soul.

This was Yaoguang's ultimate imperial weapon, the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron. At this moment, it was activated not to deal with her, but to suppress the specks of scarlet inside the cauldron, and to extract a drop of scarlet blood from within, pushing it in front of the Great Peacock Bright King.

The blood bead was like a round, red gem, emitting a bloody light. If the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron hadn't cast dragon-shaped imprints to seal it, suppressing it, the bloody light would have been enough to illuminate half the sky.

The Great Peacock Bright King had brought several followers with her, all Sages, who had traveled a long way with her from the Amitabha Star Region.

This time, she was also cautious about meeting Jiang Li, arranging it at the border between the Western Desert and the Northern Region.

At this moment, she and her followers were shocked by Jiang Li's generosity.

"Of course. Originally, I promised to introduce you, but the Buddha is currently immersed in cultivating the Human Body Secret Realm Method, in seclusion and not seeing outsiders. I have broken my word, please don't blame me, Bright King."

Before the Great Peacock Bright King could speak, Jiang Li took out a jade box, "Here are five hundred million Pure Yang Pills, and this drop of Quasi-Emperor blood, as a small token of apology."

"Holy Lord Jiang, you are really too kind."

The Great Peacock Bright King couldn't refuse such an apology, because it was five hundred million Pure Yang Pills, and a drop of Quasi-Emperor blood!

Quasi-Emperor blood!

How precious is Quasi-Emperor blood in this world? Who can draw blood from a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse?

This alone was enough to declare the Buddha's strength.

Moreover, for a powerhouse like the Great Peacock Bright King, who was close to the Great Sage realm, obtaining a drop of a Quasi-Emperor's blood was of great use to her cultivation. She could comprehend the mysteries of the next realm, which was many times more precious than those five hundred million Pure Yang Pills.

She accepted these two treasures, carefully storing the drop of Quasi-Emperor blood sealed by the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron with her own Buddha crown magic weapon.

Like a dream.

She didn't expect Jiang Li to directly give her such a treasure. Before this, she hadn't even considered it.

"By the way."

After suppressing her excited mood, she remembered a key point in Jiang Li's words just now.

"You said the Buddha is currently cultivating the Human Body Secret Realm Method, what does that mean?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The Human Body Secret Realm Method was created by Emperor Huangtian. Before Emperor Huangtian, the Human Body Secret Realm Method was not cultivated. There was another cultivation system. The Buddha had not cultivated the Human Body Secret Realm before, but recently became interested and is currently studying it."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas following the Great Peacock Bright King were dumbfounded.

[— We are Sages, what haven't we seen following the Great Sage traveling the stars?]

[— This is really the first time we've seen this.]

"Besides the Human Body Secret Realm, there is another cultivation system?" The Great Peacock Bright King was also surging with excitement, "I wish I could see it!"

"Haha, what's so difficult about that? When the Buddha finishes cultivating, I will introduce you to pay your respects and observe the wonderful method."

"Then thank you, Holy Lord Jiang."

The Great Peacock Bright King had been completely subdued by Jiang Li's small tricks. It was because each of these small tricks revealed a corner of the iceberg, and the part hidden beneath the surface made people unable to help but imagine.

"But since the Buddha is cultivating, then using these treasures to express your apology, could it be your idea? Why give me such treasures?"

The Great Peacock Bright King was a little curious. If it was Jiang Li's idea alone, how could he, a King who had severed his Dao, take out such valuable treasures?

The Pure Yang Pills were fine, he must have many more, but he himself would need something like Quasi-Emperor blood, right?

"Because the Bright King needs it. The Buddha once said that the Bright King's cultivation has reached the later stages of the Great Sage realm and is about to break through. This Quasi-Emperor blood should be of great use to the Bright King."

"Doesn't it have any use for you?"

"Of course it's useful, but I don't need it for the time being. Moreover—"

Jiang Li waved his hand, and the dark mist at the dark mouth of the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron dissipated, revealing the scene inside. There were more than a dozen drops of bright red blood floating inside.

Quasi-Emperor blood!

All of them were Quasi-Emperor blood!

"I still have some here, giving away a drop is nothing."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present were greatly shaken, and a thought suddenly arose in their hearts to abandon Buddhism and become demons, snatching the Holy Lord of Yaoguang.

That was Quasi-Emperor blood!

A King who had severed his Dao actually had so many drops in his hand. Adding to his generous gesture of being able to casually take out five hundred million Pure Yang Pills, his wallet must be very thick. He was simply a mobile treasure trove!

But the other party had the ultimate imperial weapon, the Dragon-patterned Black Gold Cauldron, and not far away there was also a Human Great Sage wearing clothing with the mark of the Tianxuan Holy Land, which immediately extinguished their thoughts.

Wei Yi was also very shocked. He had never seen anything like Quasi-Emperor blood before. If he could obtain a drop to refine, it would also be of great use to him.

When he saw the Quasi-Emperor blood, he also began to waver.

"I see."

The Great Peacock Bright King admitted that she now found Jiang Li much more pleasing to the eye. He actually looked more lovable than that Xiao Yan with the Immortal Phoenix bloodline, making people want to get close to him.

"Bright King, why should we stay on Mount Sumeru?"

"Yes, the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Sumeru is now declining. We are not monks of the Great Thunderclap Temple, why should we hold on?"

After Jiang Li showed his wealth and strength, their hearts began to change.

After all, they came from the Amitabha Star Region, and they were not disciples of Mount Sumeru. Although they also worshiped Amitabha Buddha on the other side of the starry sky, it was mostly a formality. They were not blindly worshiping the ancestral star of Amitabha.

When they cultivated, they all worshiped the former Buddhas in their own temples, and cultivated the scriptures left by the former sages in the temples. They had little to do with Amitabha Buddha.

The Great Peacock Bright King raised her hand to stop them from continuing.

"Holy Lord Jiang, it is not easy for us to come to the Northern Dipper from afar. If we leave Mount Sumeru, I am afraid that we will not even be able to find the star map to return. Moreover, in this Northern Dipper, we do not know anyone other than Mount Sumeru. If we leave Mount Sumeru, how can we live?"

"Bright King, don't worry. Although I only have a few star maps in my hand, and none of the Amitabha Star Region, it is easy to find one. My Yaoguang still has some face on the Northern Dipper Star. The Desolate Ancient Ji family, the Desolate Ancient Jiang family, and the Great Xia Dynasty all have close ties with my Yaoguang Holy Land. They should have the star coordinates of the Amitabha Star Region."

Jiang Li was sure of this, because he had obtained the memories of these great clans and powerful figures when he scanned the scriptures with the True Spirit Seal, and knew that they had them in their homes.

"If the Bright King wants to go back, I will borrow them then, so don't worry. As for how the Bright King and fellow Daoists will settle down after leaving Mount Sumeru? There is no need to worry about this at all. The gate of Yaoguang is always open to you, and the gate of the Dao Alliance is always open to you."

Settle down in Yaoguang?

The Great Peacock Bright King and his party exchanged divine thoughts and quickly reached a consensus.

"If that's the case, then we'll bother you."

After saying this, the Great Peacock Bright King immediately felt much more relaxed.

Because that unfathomable Buddha was no longer their enemy, the Great Peacock Ming Wang and her saints all breathed a sigh of relief. Standing against such a figure would have been too much pressure.

But now it was good, they had abandoned darkness for the light.

Now, the pressure was on Maha Ancient Buddha.

A bird-shaped white light flew in from outside. Maha reached out and grabbed it, and the bird-shaped white light turned into a letter.

Maha frowned after reading it: "Just parting ways? What does the Great Peacock Ming Wang mean?"

He had been suppressed by that monkey, the Fighting Victory Buddha, and had finally come out. He had been adjusting and recuperating during this time, preparing to face the Buddha.

But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the Great Peacock Ming Wang suddenly sent a letter saying they were just parting ways.

What does just parting ways mean?

"Someone!"

"Maha Ancient Buddha."

"Go see if the Great Peacock Ming Wang and her Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are still there."

Maha was recuperating and naturally would not pay attention to the movements of the Great Peacock Ming Wang and her saints at all times, nor was it possible to pay attention, because that would be equivalent to monitoring them at all times, which could easily cause resentment.

After a while, a disciple reported, "Ancient Buddha, they left in the morning and have not returned since."

"All of them?"

"Half of the people left first, and after half a day, the other half also suddenly left."

"Humph!"

A voice full of anger suddenly came from the Great Thunderclap Temple on the summit of Mount Sumeru, and the great bell roared incessantly, as if the anger was hard to dissipate.

Everyone on Mount Sumeru did not know why Maha Ancient Buddha was so angry, but they soon found out.

Because Maha Ancient Buddha's sending people to find news of the Great Peacock Ming Wang and her saints was not hidden, and everyone knew that Maha Ancient Buddha was sending people to find them before he was angry.

Then, the reason for Maha Ancient Buddha's anger was obvious.

Sure enough, everyone on Mount Sumeru, as long as they paid attention to this matter, found out that the Great Peacock Ming Wang and his party had left Mount Sumeru and had not returned since.

This meant that they had abandoned Mount Sumeru, that they did not think Mount Sumeru was a match for the Buddha.

And then, a message spread silently and rapidly in the Western Desert.

That was that on the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, the Great Peacock Ming Wang was traveling with the Holy Master of the Jade Radiance, Jiang Li, and they were extremely close. Other followers from the Amitabha Starfield were also following behind the Great Peacock Ming Wang.

The Great Peacock Ming Wang... had been turned?

This was clearly the foreign aid we invited from the Amitabha Starfield!

The monks did not speak, but their divine thoughts were communicating intensely. The blow that the Great Peacock Ming Wang's defection brought to them was undoubtedly huge.

It should be known that there were currently only two Great Saints on Mount Sumeru. Besides Maha Ancient Buddha, it was the Great Peacock Ming Wang. And now that the Great Peacock Ming Wang had been turned and joined the Buddha's camp, wouldn't they have to face a terrifying enemy?

Not long after, Maha Ancient Buddha's voice came again from the summit of Mount Sumeru.

"Who told you to use the Jade Radiance's things! Foolish! Utterly foolish! Tear them all down!"

Obviously, Maha Ancient Buddha also knew about the Great Peacock Ming Wang and Jiang Li visiting the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship together, and it was still through the Da Luo Realm, the enemy's information channel.

The Great Saint gave the order, and everyone on Mount Sumeru and other places in the Western Desert began to dismantle the altars that could communicate with the Da Luo Realm.

Combining this matter, others understood that the Great Peacock Ming Wang and his party should have been tricked away by the Buddha's people through the Da Luo Realm.

This was reasonable.

But Maha Ancient Buddha's order to dismantle the Da Luo Realm altar seemed a bit late, like locking the stable door after the horse had bolted.

But the fattest sheep had already been snatched away by the Buddha. He was the only remaining high-level combat power. What was the use of blocking the information channel at this time?

After all, Luo Mo would not let people turn him.

But even if the Great Saint gave the order, many people did not dismantle the altar and quietly kept it.

After all, at this moment when the Western Desert was besieged, they could only understand the situation outside through the Da Luo Realm. They had to thank the Da Luo Realm's anonymous function.

As long as you were anonymous, you couldn't even determine whether the person chatting with you on the other side was a human.

What if it was a dog?

And it was the kind that was serious online, but offline was wagging its big red tongue,贱笑着要坑你丹药的大黑狗 (this part is difficult to translate without losing the nuance, it refers to a black dog that is two-faced and trying to trick you out of your pills).

Even if one cultivated Buddhism, one could not remain calm in the face of imminent disaster, let alone be indifferent.

......

On the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, the Great Peacock Ming Wang and his party smoothly integrated into the group.

As a Great Saint of Buddhism, she was naturally respected by everyone, especially the saints of the Five Ancient Temples, who very much wanted to ask her for advice.

And for the Great Peacock Ming Wang, she was also very interested in the Buddha's Dharma.

The Eye of Salvation, the Buddha Art of Reception, these things passed down by the Buddha were like opening a door to a new world for her.

So, this was how one could cultivate.

The Great Peacock Ming Wang obtained the information from Jiang Li that the Buddha did not cultivate the Human Body Secret Realm Dharma before, and confirmed it from the abbots of the Five Ancient Temples, and then saw that these secret arts were affirmed.

Was this another kind of cultivation system's method?

She became addicted to it, and then came up with an amazing idea, which was to use the Salvation Art to save the drop of Quasi-Emperor blood in her hand!

In this way, her chances of being promoted to Quasi-Emperor would be greater.

It was just that there was murderous intent in this drop of Quasi-Emperor blood, which was the murderous intent of the Quasi-Emperor, which was extremely difficult to refine.

If she could borrow the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, she believed that it would save a lot of effort, but when she looked for Jiang Li, she found that Jiang Li had left.

Jiang Li left because he wanted to return to Jade Radiance to preside over the overall situation, and during the few days she was studying the Buddha's secret arts, a message came out.

The Jade Radiance Holy Land was going to be changed to an Imperial Dynasty!

At such an important moment, it was naturally impossible to lend her the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, so she could only think of a way herself.

Looking at the 500 million Pure Yang Pills in her hand, she had an idea.

Forget it, anyway, it's free money, refining the Quasi-Emperor's blood is more important, let's just use the Pure Yang Pills to wash away the Quasi-Emperor's murderous intent.

But at the same time, the saints under her command were a little puzzled.

Didn't Ming Wang get 500 million Pure Yang Pills from Holy Master Jiang Li? Don't we get any?

This is not right, logically speaking, joining the Dao Alliance should come with a million Pure Yang Pill annual salary.

They were newcomers and didn't quite understand the operating rules of the Dao Alliance, and didn't know who to look for. At this time, Jiang Li returned to the Eastern Wilderness and must be busy dealing with the various affairs of Jade Radiance, so they went to find the Sect Leader of the Source Heaven Sect.

The Source Art incarnation and Jiang Li were naturally playing good cop and bad cop, and said coldly: "Jiang Li withdrew 500 million Pure Yang Pills, and has already paid off everyone's joining fee. Do you want to pre-pay for next year?"

"Sect Leader Luo, we don't want to pre-pay, it's just..."

They couldn't say it clearly, they couldn't say in front of outsiders that their boss was deducting their pay, right?

"Lack of pills?"

The Source Art incarnation's attitude was average. After all, he was a Saint King-level powerhouse, and he didn't need to give ordinary saints a good face.

"Here, there are some tasks, and you can easily earn hundreds of thousands of pills in a month or so."

He waved his hand and sprinkled a piece of light curtain, which showed strange tasks, all of which were to collect some vitality that ordinary people could never use.

The saints under the Great Peacock Ming Wang looked at each other.

"Thank you, Sect Leader."
