live in leaves and walk among the heavens

Chapter 241 Eight Leaf's True Purpose

Hiss... As the huge mural was displayed in front of the three of them, it seemed that they could all hear the cry of the peacock fighting the snake from the lifelike huge mural.

"No! The sound doesn't come from here, it's from outside!"

Snake-like hissing in the empty hall brought the peacock, who was still shocked by the murals, back to his senses. After confirming that the sound came here through the passage, he finally remembered the place on his back. Outside, Ou Kang, who was still in a coma before, had no time to ask this strange old man of the Six Paths about snakes and peacocks, so he turned around and quickly ran out of the square.

"Aren't you going to have a look?"

The peacock's departure seemed to be expected by the old man. Looking at the peacock who couldn't see his back after a few swayings, the old man turned his gaze to Yuhicheng who had been silent since he followed in.

This guy who made him unable to see his strength didn't seem to show any disgust towards them like a peacock, and it was precisely because of this that he was also full of curiosity about what Yuhicheng's purpose was.

"Is this the last experiment?"

He didn't care about the old man's sizing up to him, and at the same time he didn't care about the peacock leaving in a hurry. Even at this moment, Yuhicheng, who was still staring at the mural in front of him, seemed to have forgotten all the tasks in his mind, and just stood there seriously. Yuhicheng, who was looking at the mural in front of him carefully, pondered for a long time, finally seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly turned to look at the mysterious old man of the Six Paths who still hadn't left.

"The world returns to darkness. If you don't go through the darkness, you won't see the light? What do you people of the Six Paths want to do?"

Yu Hicheng's sudden question stunned the old man who seemed to want to watch a good show, and then his face, which was originally holding the wisdom beads, finally showed a different expression this time.

"Looks like I guessed right."

The change in the old man's expression seemed to confirm Yuhi Cheng's conjecture from the side, and Yu Hi Cheng, who didn't need the other party's answer at all, finally showed a dazed look.

"Before, I wondered why you people of the Six Paths always used methods similar to raising Gu and blood sacrifices to awaken them when cultivating artificial demon god bloodlines, but after that, you seemed to not care about the awakened demon god bloodlines and just threw them away. "

"It's like Wang Renwan of the Great Dark Heaven who cursed the forbidden way, and Fengshen Lan of Koyasan Gorinbo. Although you have been saying that awakening the Peacock King is your real purpose, many people may believe it... um... That's true, it's like you secretly changed the classics collected by Koya Mountain and Huang Family Xiandao, even they have only focused on the Peacock King in this world for thousands of years."

"But just now you blew out the statement that the Heavenly Snake King is the real purpose...Maybe without this mural and the Queen Mother of the West just now, I might really believe it. After all, the fight between the peacock and the snake is like raising a gu. Generally, choosing the strongest one to survive and inherit everything seems to make sense no matter how you think about it, doesn’t it?”

"I can think of the vacant position in the middle of the eight-leaf mandala. If you say that it is for the winner of the Heavenly Snake King or the Peacock King, I don't think it is possible. After all, it has been planned for tens of thousands of years and even never. You, who started to calculate all this on the day when the demon god Kunlun fell, would casually elect a young new demon god to be the central Buddha, no matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.”

"So I made a bold assumption. Maybe some of what you said before is true. The collapse of the Demon God Kunlun began with the war between the Heavenly Snake King and the Peacock King. Then I will once again complete the affirmation of the most important position in the eight leaves. It is also one of them, but after planning for so long, is your ultimate goal to cultivate a so-called king-like demon god to stand on top of your head?"

"Hehe, when I heard your nostalgic tone when you were telling the history of this Kunlun Shrine, I felt that there was something wrong with you. This tone didn't sound like a storyteller at all. , but more like an experiencer and a witness.”

"That's why I'm very curious. What is your identity, an old man? A surviving witness among the Six Paths? Or one of the eight leaves? Or the eight leaves."

As Yuhicheng told his bold conjecture step by step, the old man's expression also changed from playfulness before to shock later to seriousness now.

"Then guess again, what is my purpose?"

A cold voice came out of the old man's mouth, and this voice was no longer old and hoarse as before, but a non-male, non-female voice with a hint of electronic sound.

"Hehehe, don't you hide?"

Hearing the sudden change of voice in the old man's mouth, Yuhi Cheng also showed his signature smile on his face, and at the same time his eyes narrowed slightly because of the smile.

"The snake and the peacock are the keys, and this Kunlun is the altar. I'm afraid your purpose is to sacrifice this world and let the era of demon gods come again... Eight leaves."

boom!The tyrannical force erupted from Yuhicheng's body. While shaking the ground under his feet full of cracks, the oppressive force generated by the energy also enveloped the little old man. The moment the words were spoken, Yu Hicheng was already sure that the person who was hiding in this old guy's body was the mastermind of all these events.

"The dark side left by the celestial man's retreat, or the product of the condensed power of the blood that was abandoned in order to become the celestial man, is really not simple... I never thought that today, when the celestial man has retreated without a trace, the people who survived You have really done a great thing."

Yuhi had previously guessed that Yaye's identity might be the body of a demon god left behind by the four Bodhisattvas and the four Tathagatas who sublimated into a heavenly man after retiring from the mortal world. Now, although his guess has finally been confirmed, his own A few words brought out the final boss all at once, and it still made him a little nervous. After all, he has been on the road of abusing food all this time, and suddenly made him face the boss of this world. There is really an indescribable...excitement.

Seeing that the old man's body began to crack under the pressure of his own strength, he slowly clenched his fists and was ready to fight.

"Hehehe, what kind of heaven and man, what kind of mortal body, is just a hypocrite who borrowed the power of blood to achieve himself and then abandoned it like a shoe. Do you know why heaven and man are not seen in today's world?"

"Think about it, when children abandon their blood mother, how can this world accommodate them?"
