Chapter 547: Chapter 541: Legacy of Donghuang Taiyi [Subscription and Monthly Tickets Requested]_1

"Sha Chen, mountains don’t turn, but waters do. I have other matters to attend to today and will return another day."

Saint Zhunti planned to leave. Since he couldn’t breach the defenses anyway, staying would only make him more of a laughingstock.

Tianpeng also realized Saint Zhunti seemed unable to break through and felt relieved. He was even eager to mock Zhunti upon hearing he was leaving.

Sha Chen shot him a glare, and only then did Tianpeng behave, not daring to say more.

Zhunti left swiftly.

Sha Chen, however, had no intention whatsoever of going out to investigate. He even instructed Tianpeng and Siti that they were not to leave for three years.

Zhunti is old and cunning, Sha Chen thought. If he’s waiting outside to ambush us when our guard is down, it would be disastrous.

Without Sha Chen needing to remind him, Tianpeng wouldn’t leave either. He was terrified of death.

He deeply regretted Zhunti becoming aware of his presence and lamented his decision to come here at this particular time. If Zhunti holds a grudge, or includes me in his targets, what will happen when I eventually go out? How will I deal with his revenge?

He possessed neither Siti’s strength nor Sha Chen’s confidence. If I encounter a Saint, I’d likely die before the Saint even needed to appear!

Filled with immense fear, Tianpeng said, "Old Sha, what if I just never leave and stay here forever?"

Sha Chen glanced at him. "You wish. After three years, I’ll pick a random time and use the Great Space Shift to send you away."

Tianpeng, on the verge of tears, pleaded, "But the Saint saw me! What if he remembers me and holds a grudge? What should I do then?"

Sha Chen replied nonchalantly, "You’re not important enough for a Saint to keep you in mind. Besides, a Saint wouldn’t personally deal with someone like you. However, it’s quite possible that other followers of Buddhism might target you."

"But don’t worry too much. I’ll teach you Qingyun Zong. If you encounter someone you can’t defeat, just use it to flee."

"Also, I’ll give you a Space Talisman. If you find yourself in a situation you absolutely can’t escape, just crush it."

Tianpeng’s eyes lit up. "So, when that happens, will you shatter the void to come save me!?"

Sha Chen said, "When that time comes, you’ll be able to escape far into the void."

Tianpeng pressed, "And if I still can’t get away?"

Sha Chen pondered for a moment, stroking his chin. "If that’s the case, then mention my name."

Tianpeng was overjoyed. "Old Sha, if I mention your name, will I be safer?"

Sha Chen said, "That way, you’ll die a more heroic death, and with more dignity."

Tianpeng despaired. Indeed, that would make for a more heroic, and quicker, death.

Sha Chen then looked at Siti. "Do you still want to leave? If so, I can let you go right now."

Siti rolled her eyes, then forced a smile. "Lord Sha Chen, even if you told me to leave, I wouldn’t."

"It’s so dangerous outside; it’s much safer here with you. From now on, I’ll never talk back to you. Even if you scold me, I absolutely won’t resist."

Sha Chen chuckled. "Wishful thinking."

Tianpeng felt like crying again. The goddess in my heart has also fallen, completely under Sha Chen’s thumb.

Sha Chen said indifferently, "Alright, focus on your cultivation. However, I don’t have any cultivation resources left, so your progress will be slower. Don’t expect much more help from me in that regard."

Tianpeng said, "Just imparting your teachings is sufficient! It would be truly imposing to ask for resources as well."

Sha Chen swatted his hand away. "As you say that, perhaps you could remove your hand from the Peaches of Immortality?"

Tianpeng gave an awkward smile.

Tianpeng then asked, "Old Sha, where did you get that Chaos Bell?"

Sha Chen asked, "Are you interested?"

Tianpeng fell silent for a long while, then pursed his lips. "To be honest, when I guarded the Milky Way, I once obtained an inheritance from Donghuang Taiyi from beneath it. Therefore, I consider myself a semi-successor of Emperor Donghuang."

Sha Chen was momentarily stunned, then understood why Tianpeng had been chosen by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad and sent to Buddhism. So Tianpeng also had such a great fortuitous encounter.

However, based on Sha Chen’s understanding of the original story, the inheritance Tianpeng received from Donghuang was probably mediocre.

Tianpeng explained, "I ate some peculiar fruits that changed my innate talent. I also possess some spells and Divine Powers, all inherited from Emperor Donghuang. However, I exchanged part of that inheritance with Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, and he taught me the Thirty-Six Transformations." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Sha Chen asked, "What inheritance was it?"

Tianpeng replied, "With my abilities at the time, I couldn’t comprehend what the inheritance truly was."

For Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to trade the Thirty-Six Transformations for it, this inheritance must be quite significant, Sha Chen mused. Tianpeng stumbled upon incredible luck, but he didn’t fully grasp it himself.

Tianpeng, however, had always considered himself a partial inheritor of Donghuang. Seeing the Chaos Bell in Sha Chen’s hands now naturally made him excited.

Sha Chen looked at Tianpeng. He currently appeared handsome and imposing, but Sha Chen didn’t forget that Tianpeng had been mistakenly reincarnated into a pig’s body and, in this life, still possessed a pig’s form. Essentially, Tianpeng possessed a demon’s physique.

Donghuang Taiyi, as the sovereign of the Monster Court, himself possessed a demon physique. The inheritance he left behind would undoubtedly be immensely beneficial to those of the Demon Clan. If Tianpeng could reactivate this inheritance, it would likely be of great benefit to him.

Sha Chen said, "You’ve already given your inheritance to Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad. Didn’t you keep a copy for yourself?"

Tianpeng answered, "Naturally, I retained it; it’s been imprinted in my mind. However, I have no idea how to cultivate it, nor do I understand what it truly entails."

An idea struck Sha Chen. He took out the Chaos Bell and rang it.

However, there was hardly any change in Tianpeng.

Next, he had Tianpeng drip his heart’s blood onto the Chaos Bell.

Tianpeng said, "You’ve already refined it. What’s the use of my blood dripping on it now?"

Sha Chen glanced at him. "Do you think I’m giving you the Chaos Bell? I’m just seeing if it can help you activate your inheritance."

Tianpeng decided to try.

The moment his blood touched the Chaos Bell, Tianpeng’s eyes blazed with light. His face went slack, and his expression became dazed.

Sha Chen was inwardly delighted. It worked!

He then used his powerful Primordial Spirit to protect Tianpeng while shouting, "Siti, transform into the Bodhi Tree immediately! Help him comprehend the inheritance!"

Siti dared not delay, transforming into a towering tree that cast its shade over both Sha Chen and Tianpeng.

Tianpeng’s inheritance was indeed extraordinary. Left by Donghuang Taiyi at the bottom of the Milky Way, it turned out to be a secret body tempering cultivation technique for the Demon Clan. If cultivated to its peak, a demon physique could rival that of an Ancestral Witch. This was the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Decision!

Donghuang Taiyi had reigned supreme over the primordial world for countless eons, relying on his invincible physique and his heaven-defying mana cultivation.

However, demon physiques have inherent limitations. Regardless of their cultivation, very few members of the Demon Clan could temper their physical bodies to the realm of the Primeval Chaos Law Body. Consequently, in later stages, most demons focused on cultivating mana, neglecting their physical bodies. However, by focusing on mana, the Demon Clan paradoxically grew weaker, as mana cultivation was never their true strength.

Under the blessing of the Bodhi Tree, Tianpeng gradually began to comprehend the inheritance.

Meanwhile, Sha Chen took out the Heavenly Book and projected the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Decision onto it, gradually completing and perfecting the technique.

Seeing the fully revealed Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Decision, Sha Chen was ecstatic. Although I don’t have a demon physique, making this cultivation technique of little direct use to me, I have numerous followers, most of whom are from the Demon Clan. The value of this technique to them is self-evident! Even the Dragon Clan could cultivate it. However, the True Dragon Body Forging Technique is clearly more beneficial for them, so there’s no need for Ao Lie and his sister to switch. However, beings like the White Bone Demon, Lady Di Yong, and the Black Bear Demon can cultivate it. Even Sun Wukong could cultivate it, if it’s suitable for him!
