In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque was originally known as the Divine Monkey General in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a name familiar to every household.

The Six-Eared Macaque successfully transcended his tribulation, and next up was Chonglou.

We have a starting point and a reason, but we lack the necessary territory.

Therefore, Chonglou needed to find a starting point to make his move, and he set his sights on Lion Camel City.

Although the Green Lion and the White Elephant are somewhat slovenly, the Golden-Winged Roc is a true top-tier demon king.

In terms of strength, he is even superior to Sun Wukong.

The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle is also a good top-tier magic weapon.

The Daoist Wuji has truly comprehended the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. If he can integrate the two energies of Yin and Yang, his foundation will surely experience a tremendous surge.

Back then, Kong Xuan refined the Five Elements Feathers and defeated the Twelve Golden Immortals with the Five-Colored Divine Light. In the end, it was only through the intervention of the Western Sect Leader that he was finally subdued.

Therefore, Chonglou was determined to obtain both the three assistants and the Yin and Yang energies.

If we can subdue the Golden-Winged Roc and teach it the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique, the Golden-Winged Roc's potential is even greater than that of the Four Chaotic Monkeys, and it will surely become another top-tier fighter in the future.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't care about the taboos of the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique.

What suits you is the best.

Undoubtedly, the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique is most suitable for this top-tier demon king with a strong bloodline. If he were to enter the Xuanmen (mystical sect) and cultivate to the point of enlightenment, it would instead restrict his actions.

Chapter 152 Lion Camel City: A Mountain of Skeletons and a Forest of Bones

Lion Camel City!

As one of the most powerful demons on the journey to the west, Lion Camel City had at least 48,000 demons, and had devoured the entire population of the city.

Skulls piled up like mountains, and bones formed a forest!

This was also the place where the killings were most severe on the westward journey.

Unfortunately, the last few demons escaped unscathed, demonstrating the importance of connections.

Chonglou entered this tribulation with the intention of tricking the Buddhist sect, planning to turn the three great demons into his own allies.

Bloodshed can increase the savagery of demons. At this moment, the three demons are committing such evil deeds in Lion Camel City that their wickedness has reached its maximum. As long as Chonglou provokes them slightly, he can ignite the bloodlust in their hearts.

At that time, these three demons will also become a nightmare for Buddhism.

If the three demons are completely corrupted, they will never become Buddhas!

"Who?"

A golden light, like a meteor, crashed into the deepest part of Lion Camel City, and the Golden-Winged Roc felt a deadly chill rise from behind him.

Looking towards the place where the golden light fell, one could see a god dressed in golden armor, holding a golden halberd, sitting on his former throne, looking down at the Lion Camel City, where the stench of corpses filled the air and bones piled up like trees.

The moment the Golden-Winged Roc saw that figure, it spread its wings and immediately tried to escape.

"Don't run away, I'm not here to kill you today."

Moreover, you are merely obstacles and tribulations on the Buddhist path to the West; it is not my place to subdue demons and monsters.

Chonglou's voice rang in its ears, and the restless spirit of the Golden-Winged Roc gradually calmed down. Looking at Chonglou, it couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

At the same time, the lesser demons and monsters also looked up at the celestial being above, wanting to surround him, but the Golden-Winged Roc waved his hand and drove away all the lesser demons.

He knew the strength of Chonglou before him; even if the three brothers joined forces, they would not be a match for him.

Back then, the ten top demon kings fought against Chonglou but did not gain any advantage. They even seemed to injure him repeatedly, but in reality, they did not cause him any harm. They even helped him break through his physical barriers and break through his cultivation realm.

At this moment, Chonglou was three times more terrifying than when he first broke through; even he didn't think there was any possibility of escaping.

"Jade Frontier War God, this is Xiniu Hezhou, not Dongsheng Shenzhou. What are you doing here?"

Looking at the arrogant Golden-Winged Roc, Chonglou immediately smiled disdainfully.

However, a flash of golden light appeared in his hand, and a red gourd appeared in Chonglou's hand. In the hazy mist, several golden pills circulated, causing the Golden-Winged Roc to become solemn.

"Although this gourd is not among the spiritual treasures, it is a primordial object used to hold the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir."

"My identity is not that of a war god among mortals, but rather that of Chunyangzi, the direct descendant of the Taiqing lineage. I, along with the Eastern Emperor Wuji Daoist and the young Sword Master of Xuanzhen Temple, are incarnations of his divine power of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.'"

Hiss...

The Golden-Winged Roc was shocked and looked at Chonglou in disbelief. He never expected that Chonglou's terrifying strength was merely an avatar of the other party.

But he knew that a powerful figure like Chonglou would never lie.

Moreover, it involves the Taiqing lineage, which is one of the mainstream schools of Taoism today, and belongs to the supreme Sanqing sect.

"Jade Warrior God, what exactly is your purpose?"

The Golden-Winged Roc stared intently at Chonglou. The more terrifying Chonglou's identity was, the more terrifying his plans would inevitably be.

Moreover, the fact that Taoism and Buddhism were on equal footing, and that a direct descendant of Taoism appeared in Buddhist territory, made him feel vaguely uneasy.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm currently brewing a scheme—a great calamity that will last for millennia!"

"With the help of the flourishing fortune of Buddhism, I will break through to the seventh level of my profound cultivation. I need a few subordinates to assist me. If I succeed... you will all benefit immensely!"

what?

The Golden-Winged Roc's eyes widened in shock, his expression revealing his astonishment. He had never imagined that Chonglou's plan was so grand.

Moreover, after breaking through with the help of their ten demon kings last time, they actually wanted to repeat the same thing now. How blatantly disrespectful they were to Buddhism! For a moment, the Golden-Winged Roc was shocked, and a trace of contempt involuntarily escaped his lips.

"You don't believe me?"

"We naturally believe in the Venerable One, but why should Buddhism help the Venerable One?"

Upon hearing the Golden-Winged Roc's mockery, Chonglou shook his head, knowing that the Golden-Winged Roc had not yet grasped the purpose and significance of this westward journey. He then slowly explained:

Do you know the significance of this journey to the west?

In the past, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha made forty-eight great vows to teach and save all beings in the three thousand worlds, teaching without discrimination, so that all beings can become Buddhas.

The flourishing of Buddhism is the foundation of its grand aspirations.

Therefore, my scheme against Buddhism is an open plot, and the Buddha, for the sake of the great prosperity of Buddhism, has no choice but to grant my request!

As he spoke, Chonglou looked at the Golden-Winged Roc and pointed with his finger again.

But then a mysterious mirror appeared in mid-air, showing dozens of destroyed Taoist temples, with the words 'Xuanzhen' faintly visible.

“The destruction of my temple by Sun Wukong and his group is the cause and effect.”

"But I have the support of the Supreme Purity Sect, and because of my incarnation, the Buddha wouldn't dare defy the world and exterminate me."

The Golden-Winged Roc's eyes flashed with dread as he looked at the Golden-Armored Chonglou with apprehension, never expecting that Chonglou had already planned this far.

"In addition, I have two more deals with you."

"trade?"

With a flick of his wrist, Chonglou unleashed a burst of golden light.

The primordial yellow energy, the light of merit, the swirling purple aura... to the astonishment of the Golden-Winged Roc, this primordial yellow energy of merit slowly merged into the red gourd from before.

The merit of one hundred billion, based on the nine layers of innate restrictions of the red gourd, continued to condense up to the twenty-first layer of restrictions, which is a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

Such immense power would not be easily relinquished even by Buddha.

"This is···"

The Golden-Winged Roc recognized the Xuanhuang Merit Qi at first glance, as it was the most mysterious and precious thing in the world.

He simply couldn't believe that Chonglou would be so willing to condense such a vast and terrifying amount of Xuanhuang merit energy onto the gourd—what a waste of resources!

"That's right, just as you see it. The legendary Xuanhuang Merit is used to upgrade the gourd's level."

Hiss...

Upon hearing Chonglou's affirmative words, the Golden-Winged Roc looked at Chonglou with the same gaze one would give a madman.

The Xuanhuang Merit is incredibly precious, far exceeding the value of this gourd. I never expected that Chonglou would fuse with this gourd so casually.

"Don't be surprised. This gourd is a primordial object. Just now, I consumed a lot of merit to upgrade its grade from magic treasure to spiritual treasure, and it is a mid-grade spiritual treasure at that."

It possesses the value of a mid-grade spiritual treasure, and moreover, it has the power of Xuanhuang merit to suppress its destiny, making it comparable in value to a high-grade spiritual treasure!

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Roc looked at the gourd and couldn't help but swallow, his eyes filled with greed.

Immediately, the Golden-Winged Roc realized that the gourd was prepared for him.

The sudden appearance of such immense benefits immediately made the Golden-Winged Roc wary of Chonglou, his eyes filled with suspicion:

"What does the God of War want the little demon to do with this treasure?"

"Yi Bao!"

I know you possess a Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, containing the primordial Yin-Yang Two Qi. It's a pity this treasure belongs to you.

My other incarnation, the Daoist Wuji, cultivates the Dao of Yin and Yang and is destined to possess this treasure. Therefore, I wish to exchange this gourd with you. You yourself have said that I have enhanced this gourd's grade with the Qi of Xuanhuang Merit, bringing it to the level of a mid-grade spiritual treasure and into the Innate Realm.

Exchanging the primordial energy of Xuanhuang for the yin and yang energies is a win-win situation for both of us!

Chapter 1053 Subduing the Golden-Winged Roc

"really?"

Upon hearing Chonglou's offer of a treasure exchange, the Golden-Winged Roc's divine eyes gleamed with delight.

Having just witnessed the profound mystery of the Xuanhuang Merit Qi, I realize that this thing is not merely effective in enhancing the level of spiritual treasures, but can also suppress one's own fortune. This is the true value of the Xuanhuang Merit Qi.

On the other hand, although the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle was refined by him using innate Yin-Yang two energies, his refining technique was too poor, so it can only be considered an acquired spiritual treasure and does not belong to the innate category.

Innate versus acquired, autonomy is a level lower.

Moreover, the preciousness of the Xuanhuang Merit Qi is even greater than that of the Yin and Yang Qi for the Golden-Winged Roc.

Such a precious treasure is far beyond what the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle can compare to.

"Each takes what they need."

I have accumulated merit in the human world, and my profound merit is not lacking in the golden cudgel of Sun Wukong or the iron-clad soldiers of Liu Er, nor is it lacking in the profound merit of this gourd.

"The Daoist Wuji comprehends the Great Dao of Yin and Yang; these two energies can help him refine his foundation and strengthen his supernatural powers, making them even more valuable than the Xuanhuang Merit Energy!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Roc immediately ceased to doubt.

After all, the Taiqing lineage mainly cultivates Yin and Yang, so he did not doubt Chonglou's 'mutual benefit'.

In this way, the Golden-Winged Roc lowered his guard and had the little demon bring out the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle from the treasure vault.

Because of the existence of Yin and Yang energies, this bottle requires thirty-six lesser demons to slowly lift it according to the Heavenly Gang positions.

Chonglou caught it and casually tossed it into the air.

At this moment, a Tai Chi diagram appeared out of thin air, enveloped the Yin and Yang Qi bottle, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Roc no longer had any doubts.

Even it could sense an aura no less powerful than that of Chonglou from that Yin-Yang Taiji diagram. If the other party truly desired it, it wouldn't even be able to escape.

"The second deal is that you join my temple and I will teach you the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique!"

"Under the tutelage of the Temple of Gods and Humans? What does the God of War mean?"

Should they turn to the temple?

The Golden-Winged Roc immediately looked at Chonglou warily, but Chonglou showed no sign of threat. Instead, he calmly looked at the Golden-Winged Roc and began to beckon:

“I know your relationship with Buddhism; you are the Buddha’s uncle.”

But if you enter the Buddhist order, you will only become a protector of the Dharma.

Moreover, we both know what happened back then. It was just a method used by the Buddha to win you over. You and the Peacock had no brotherly affection for each other.

As for Buddhist mystical arts?

I do not deny its profoundness. After all, my Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and Eight-Nine Profound Technique are exactly the same, with no difference in quality, and both originate from the Profound Sect.

But you are a demon, so cultivating profound arts would be putting the cart before the horse.

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

The successful transaction made the Golden-Winged Roc realize that the Jade Frontier War God before him would never fight a battle he couldn't win.
