Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 269 - 268: Jidian vs. Fa Hai

The Venerable Guangming did not know when he too walked out of the Inner Heaven and Earth.

Watching Fa Hai pursue into the distance.

He couldn't help but frown: "Saint Master, the Demon Suppression Sword inside the Celestial Demon Emperor is a supreme treasure, and we can also use him against Human Daoist Sect."

"Could it be that you really are going to sit by and watch the Celestial Demon Emperor fall at Fa Hai's hands?"

In order to break the Demon-locking Tower, Little Sumeru Mountain has actually sent many powerful beings over the years.

Even sacrificing spies hidden for many years in Shushan.

The matters they plotted for were merely two.

One was to let the Celestial Demon Emperor fight against Human Daoism.

The second was to obtain the Demon Suppression Sword inside him.

But now it seems, everything has deviated somewhat from the initial plan.

"No choice."

The Saint Master shook his head and sighed: "Back then, Fa Hai at Jinshan Temple, he was not bound by the sect, and now how could he follow my arrangements?"

"But it doesn't matter anymore."

"After all, whether the Celestial Demon Emperor dies or not, the Demon Suppression Sword will still fall into the hands of our Buddhist Sect, and with Fa Hai's pride, he disdains such an item."

"Ultimately, it will most likely end up in my hands."

"As for the Human Daoist Lineage?"

The Saint Master pondered slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Before my ascension, I will resolve it."

Upon hearing this, the Venerable Guangming bowed and saluted: "Good!"

...

...

Celestial Demon Emperor's crimson wings wildly flapping, in a mere moment, he had already retreated hundreds of miles away.

He gradually revealed signs of fatigue, his face no longer as relaxed as his words suggested.

Having just saved the Demon Dragon.

He was shaken by the palm wind, his internal organs injured, and burned his vital energy to summon the crimson wings.

Although his escape speed reached its peak.

The toll on himself was nearly at an exhausting level.

At this very moment.

A figure appeared in the mountains ahead, causing him strong unease.

It was a dirty monk, wearing tattered monk shoes and robes, a gourd at his waist, shaking a palm-leaf fan.

"What's the matter?"

The Demon Dragon sensed the Celestial Demon Emperor's seriousness, looking questioningly at the Mad Monk blocking their path.

He seemed very ordinary, ragged and unkempt.

Sitting atop the mountain, before him a small bonfire, and bones scattered at his feet.

Evidently having just feasted and drunk his fill.

A disheveled old baldy without monastic discipline!

Compared to the intense unease Fa Hai brought, the Demon Dragon didn't feel anything special from the old baldy before them.

But the Celestial Demon Emperor was already extremely tense!

As for the reason?

It was simple.

He could no longer move.

The space-time in this area seemed to freeze, even burning his vital blood couldn't propel him past.

The Celestial Demon Emperor simply landed upon the mountain, asking seriously:

"I don't know, Master, who might you be?"

Seeing the Celestial Demon Emperor so solemn, even the Demon Dragon couldn't help but become nervous.

But opposite, Jigong merely smiled calmly. In recent times, he had revisited those places, no longer speaking nonsensically as he once did.

Faced with the Celestial Demon Emperor's inquiry, he also replied with a smile:

"In the secular world, I no longer deserve to use my former monk name."

"Just call me... Jidian."

"Jidian? Jidian?"

The Celestial Demon Emperor furrowed his brow, deep in thought, while the Demon Dragon beside him widened its eyes and blurted out:

"You are... the reincarnation of Subduing Dragon?"

At these words, the Celestial Demon Emperor's face changed at once.

Jigong did not deny that bitterly familiar name, nodding calmly: "Yes."

The Demon Dragon's face instantly turned to despair.

It hadn't expected that after narrowly escaping from the newly awakened Immortal Buddha's hands of the Buddhist Sect, they'd immediately bump into the reincarnated form of the previous Subduing Dragon Arhat…

"Could it really be... destined to face such a tribulation?" the Demon Dragon found it hard to accept.

The Celestial Demon Emperor's expression too was ever-changing, and he asked in a deep voice:

"So, you've come to kill me?"

He was different from the Demon Dragon.

He had genuinely come from the Upper Realm.

And genuinely knew what the Subduing Dragon Arhat of the Buddhist Sect meant!

He even suspected that the Subduing Dragon's reincarnation from a millennium ago, a return now might mean he wasn't just an Arhat anymore.

It could well be that he had attained the status of a Bodhisattva, which was not impossible!

"No need to worry."

"This old monk dislikes killing, yet has some insights in saving people."

Jidian said with a smile.

At these words, both the Celestial Demon Emperor and Demon Dragon were astonished.

However, just as the Celestial Demon Emperor was about to speak.

An immense Buddhist power, suddenly, descended with a boom.

"Not good, he's here!"

The Demon Dragon changed color, looking towards the sky.

There, the sea of clouds churned, and from it a young monk rode a dragon, commanding from on high, gazing down with majesty, his eyes void of emotion.

"Damn, this madman, what's his problem?"

The Celestial Demon Emperor couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He simply couldn't understand.

Since when did Buddhist Sect members become so committed to slaying demons and eliminating monsters?

The bastards of Little Sumeru Mountain were hateful too.

Couldn't they just advise him a little?

"Sir, I've neither old grudges nor recent hatred with you, is it necessary to push me to a dead end like this?"

The Celestial Demon Emperor said, with a tone carrying a hint of anger.

Fa Hai stood atop the Celestial Dragon's head, ignoring the Celestial Demon Emperor, his gaze coldly fixed on Jidian.

The Celestial Dragon beneath him appeared somewhat uneasy.

In its dragon eyes that looked towards Jidian, there was clearly a mixture of fear and resentment.

Fa Hai, standing aloof, coldly questioned:

"Do you wish to protect them?"

Jidian felt a bit emotional and didn't answer the question. Instead, he smiled and said:

"You've grown up so quickly."

Fa Hai raised an eyebrow in displeasure, clearly understanding what Jidian was implying.

"I have awakened."

"When I leave again, he will have unmatched skills. For him, this is a great fortune."

"You should know better than anyone."

Fa Hai was speaking not only to his own human self but also pointing out Jidian in front of him.

"Do I know?"

Jidian pondered, smiled, and replied:

"It seems I do know."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought him back then."

Fa Hai lowered his eyes slightly, expressionless, and said:

"So, you're ungrateful."

"Without the Subduing Dragon Bodhisattva, you would have remained an ordinary person, living a dull life for a hundred years, and then turning into a pile of bones in the grave."

"It was he who gave you the prospect of eternal life."

"Yet instead of gratitude, you repay kindness with enmity!"

"Jidian, do you realize your guilt?"

At this moment, Fa Hai was radiating divine brilliance, standing upon a Celestial Dragon, high in the clouds, questioning Jidian like a deity.

Jidian stood quietly atop the mountain, calmly facing Fa Hai and said:

"To repay kindness with enmity is disloyal."

"To sever ties with one's parents is unfilial."

"To abandon one's lifelong love is unjust."

"To watch all beings sink into the sea of suffering is unkind."

"This old monk indeed has committed grave sins..."

At this point, Jidian seemed to reflect, then quickly smiled and said:

"Yes, since I am disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust."

"Why should I care about worldly opinions?"

"Why should I follow the heavenly gods and buddhas?"

"Don't you think so?"

Jidian wore an easy-going smile, and with a wave of his large fan, a gust of wind surged, dispersing the clouds around Fa Hai.

...

An earth-shattering battle erupted.

Countless white clouds were shattered by the Celestial Immortals, scattering down.

Gale winds swept through, affecting mountain ranges for hundreds of miles.

In their path, peaks crumbled and the earth shed its skin.

The void was even more intense; there lay the main battlefield, where terrifying forces shattered vast expanses of sky.

Within, wind, lightning, water, and fire spilled out, leaving shocking scars in the heavens.

Everywhere, Chaos Qi rose like a tornado, obliterating everything nearby.

The Celestial Demon Emperor and the Demon Dragon had long fled to the edge of the battlefield, with the commotion behind instinctively instilling fear in the Demon Dragon.

It was bewildered.

Even though it had reached the Celestial Human Realm, and logically should possess near-ultimate power in the Human World.

Yet the battle between the old monk and the young monk felt like a celestial tribulation.

Under such an aura, it felt like a mere henchman.

"Is this the true power of the reincarnated Immortal Buddha?"

"Is it really... so terrifying?"

The Demon Dragon was filled with lingering fear, gazing at the battlefield in shock.

"Moreover, under suppression, in the Upper Realm, you wouldn't even have the privilege to glance at them."

The Celestial Demon Emperor said, not to belittle the Demon Dragon, but because it was true.

"Of course, at my peak, you wouldn't have the privilege to look at me either!" the Celestial Demon Emperor said somewhat proudly.

The Demon Dragon was at a loss between laughter and tears.

...

The battle between Jidian and Fa Hai was undoubtedly a true pinnacle battle of the Human World.

Countless cultivators were alarmed.

Many beings emerged from seclusion, wanting to see which deity was causing such terrifying chaos.

"Wait, that scruffy old man? Why do I feel like I've seen him before?"

Many were puzzled, and many others echoed the sentiment.

"I've seen him too, in the Qinling Mountains!"

"A few days ago, he went to Changbai Mountain!"

"Ah? I just saw him in the Imperial City yesterday?"

"Isn't he just a beggar? Why is he so terrifying?"

Lately, Jidian had roamed everywhere he had been before, and many cultivators and demons had seen him.

But the vast majority didn't care, only saying he was an ascetic monk expelled from the Buddhist Sect for breaking vows of abstinence.

Yet now, it was clear he was a living immortal-like being?

Casually shattering the void and pulling thunder and fire out from the cracks, was this something a regular cultivator could do?

"Wait, that scruffy monk, why do I feel I've seen him at White Cliff Mountain once?"

"Wow, I remember now, it was him, it was him who destroyed the Great Sun Subduing Dragon Pestle with sheer physical strength!"

"That day, even the Subduing Dragon Arhat looked down angrily upon the Human World!"

Finally, a few recognized the scruffy monk.

"Yes, yes, he's Jidian, the legendary reincarnation of the Subduing Dragon, Jidian!"

Many cried out, shocked beyond measure.

"Gasp, then who is that young monk?"

"He's actually able to battle the legendary reincarnated Subduing Dragon?"

"Is there truly such a powerful being in the world?!"

Numerous cultivators were curious about the identity of the other.

However, at this time, all the ancient demons were already in a state of utmost fear.

"Fa Hai, it's actually Fa Hai!"

"He's truly descended, my god, he's truly descended!"

All demons and monsters who recognized that figure were pale at this moment.

Only the demons who had lived through that era.

Understood how frightening Fa Hai really was!

He was a long-awaited nightmare.

Causing the entire Qinling Demon Race to tremble in fear.
