The Demon with Holy Radiance

So it was this guy—the one who’d played him for a fool with his double standards back at the Joyful Shrine Association.

Yang An had never forgotten the grudge, and he never expected this would be the one to come receive the Dharma Body.

Hai Si’s arrival took the monks inside the Glazed Tower by surprise. They all fell to the floor, bowing reverently, never having imagined that a Bodhisattva would come in person.

Hai Si didn’t see through Yang An’s true identity. At the others’ prompting, he looked at the little piglet on the ground.

A look of confusion appeared on Hai Si’s face until Liu Feifei did as before and released the aura of Buddha’s Charm from within the Dharma Body.

Hai Si beckoned with his hand, gathering a ball of the Buddha’s Charm’s aura. He then inhaled it. His expression quickly became entranced, but he soon regained his clarity, his face filled with joy and excitement.

"We welcome the return of the Great Bodhisattva’s Dharma Body!"

He dropped to the ground in a deep kowtow before the pig, palms pressed together as he chanted a Buddhist mantra.

Seeing Hai Si’s action, the other monks followed suit, prostrating themselves on the floor.

The scene was rather comical. The Bow Lady burst out laughing in Yang An’s ear.

Liu Feifei took a few steps back, retracted the Buddha’s Charm aura, and once again hid behind Yang An, making it look as though the group was bowing to him.

"We have long awaited this moment. Please, may the Great Bodhisattva’s Dharma Body return with me to the Land of Great Virtue and Goodness."

After bowing, Hai Si rose to his feet and spoke impatiently. He completely ignored Yang An, his gaze fixed on the piglet behind him.

But the piglet, controlled by Liu Feifei, leaped onto Yang An’s shoulder and started OINKING and squealing.

Only then did Hai Si’s gaze shift to Yang An, as if he’d understood something.

"You must be a devotee of the Great Bodhisattva. You have rendered great service in welcoming the Bodhisattva’s Dharma Body home. You should come with me to the Land of Goodness as well."

Yang An sneered inwardly. ’It’s not time to kill this guy just yet.’

"I will obey the Bodhisattva’s command."

Hai Si led Yang An and the piglet out of the Glazed Tower and headed for Great Virtue Temple.

Under the cover of the Human Face Skin and the mask, Yang An’s Cultivation Level appeared extremely weak. To get back to Great Virtue Temple as quickly as possible, Hai Si even used a Magical Artifact.

A Scripture Banner covered in countless tentacles carried the two people and one pig, swiftly and unimpeded, toward the Land of Great Virtue and Goodness.

Due to the relentless attacks from the Golden Thread Pavilion, the atmosphere in the Land of Goodness was tense. Anyone approaching within hundreds of miles had to pass through dozens of checkpoints.

Fortunately, with Hai Si leading the way, no one dared to stop them, and Yang An entered Great Virtue Temple without a hitch.

Returning to this place, Yang An felt a slight nervousness. He was afraid someone would see through his disguise, exposing his true identity and causing all his efforts to be for naught.

Especially when, after entering Great Virtue Temple, Hai Si led him straight toward the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall. This clearly meant they were going to see Hai Shu, and Yang An couldn’t help but grow wary.

He wasn’t worried about Hai Shu, but reinforcements from the other major domains might also be in Great Virtue Temple. If someone at the Immortal Platform level appeared, things would get complicated.

In contrast to Yang An’s calm exterior, the piglet possessed by Liu Feifei, perched on his shoulder, had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.

"Master! You have to save me!"

The Bow Lady acted as an interpreter for Liu Feifei, accurately relaying her words to Yang An.

Yang An subconsciously reached out and patted the little piglet’s head, trying to reassure her. But Hai Si saw this, and a furious expression instantly appeared on his face.

"Do not be disrespectful to the Great Bodhisattva’s Dharma Body!"

He warned Yang An, looking as if he would strike him down the very next moment if Yang An dared to do it again.

Hai Shu seemed to have already received news of the Forbidden Calamity Reincarnation Dharma Body’s return. The great doors to the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall were wide open, and there were no other monks standing guard outside.

Yang An followed Hai Si into the dimly lit Ten Thousand Buddha Hall. He didn’t use his own senses to probe the situation inside.

Although he could have disguised his perception to that of the Corpse Transformation Realm or even lower, it was better to play it safe. The less you do, the fewer mistakes you make.

But when he saw Hai Shu inside the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall for the first time in a long while, Yang An couldn’t help but feel surprised.

’This guy’s aura... it’s so strange!’

Hai Shu was still Hai Shu, but the Lotus Platform beneath him had turned from its usual gold to black. The aura he openly emanated had also changed from its original peaceful solemnity to something impure and chaotic, as if many auras that didn’t belong to him were all piled up inside his body.

Judging from this aura alone, the current Hai Shu was stronger than before, but the feeling he gave Yang An wasn’t one of overwhelming power, not on the level of the Life Crane.

To put it simply, Yang An felt that Hai Shu, like himself, was in the Insect Dao. Yet this guy’s aura was far deeper and thicker—as vast as an abyss, as boundless as the sea.

He clearly hadn’t reached the level of the Immortal Platform, yet he was stronger than the Insect Dao.

Yang An mused, ’If I hadn’t come here for the Seven-Colored Dust, I probably never would have found out about Hai Shu’s condition.’

"Devotee, do not be rude!"

Upon entering the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, Hai Si first bowed to Hai Shu, then turned to warn Yang An.

Yang An also gave a silent bow. Liu Feifei, meanwhile, leaped down from his shoulder but didn’t dare look at Hai Shu at all, cowering fearfully behind Yang An’s legs.

"Is this my senior brother’s Reincarnation Dharma Body?"

Hai Shu spoke slowly, his gaze piercing through the darkness to land on the little piglet behind Yang An. His body, however, remained perfectly still.
