Chapter 113
This wasn’t an inheritance at all. A powerful man died unwillingly, so he left his soul in the plaque through an evil method and waited for the chance to seize someone’s body.
No one knew how long he had been waiting there. To his satisfaction, a youngster like Jiang Chen had finally come.
He cheated Jiang Chen into melting the plaque to give himself of the opportunity to get into Jiang Chen’s body.
However, when the ghost’s face was less than an inch away from Jiang Chen, it was pulled away.
The ghost’s face turned into gray air and was sucked into the jade bottle in Jiang Chen’s hand.
Jiang Chen smiled and corked the bottle. He held the jade bottle close to himself and said to it, “Even if you want to cheat others, you should have committed and used treasure as bait. How could you cheat anyone with just a plaque?”
Shrill screams came from the bottle. “Let me out, you little jerk! Otherwise, you’re going to pay.”
“Kid, do you mean it?” Azure Demon said seriously after a long while.
“Yes.”
The eight groups of spiritual beings was one of the most valuable Buddhist treasures.
What was intriguing about it was there was more than one. Any eminent Buddhist monk could have it as long as they were lucky.
With eight powerful living creatures kept in spiritual ware to represent the eight groups of beings, it was one of the greatest spiritual powers of Buddhism. These eight living creatures were deva, naga, yaksha, gandharva, asura, garuda, kinnara and mahoraga. They were all Protectors of the Law of Buddhism.
Jiang Chen was going to create his own eight groups of spiritual beings.
It was the soul in the jade bottle that gave him this chance. The soul had been independent of a body for almost a thousand years. No living person could achieve that.
This Azure Demon could be a powerful man in a state even higher than the Reaching Heaven State.
If Azure Demon hadn’t fallen into his hands, with his current state, it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to find such an existence to make one of his eight groups of beings.
Although he hesitated to act as one of Jiang Chen’s eight groups of beings, Azure Demon mostly doubted whether he could achieve that.
“What are you going to use as the spiritual ware for the eight groups of spiritual beings? Average ware can’t hold spiritual energy.”
The eight groups of spiritual beings could be held in small towers, scriptures, or scrolls.
No matter what it was, it shouldn’t be an average thing. It at least had to be class-seven or class-eight spiritual ware.
“I’ll use this.”
Jiang Chen took out a book. It was the book he had taken from the imperial mausoleum. It didn’t look special at all, but in fact, it was.
When Elder Tree had taken the book before, he was burnt into charcoal by the Universal Darkfire Lamp, so that even his spiritual armor was melted, but the book suffered no damage at all. So, Jiang Chen knew immediately it wasn’t made of average paper.
“But it’s written with characters.” Azure Demon noticed there were illustrations and passages regarding the imperial mausoleum in the book.
“Buddha in Buddha, Buddha in mind. The characters are not important.”
“Then you should know the eight groups of spiritual beings are also a spiritual weapon. The spiritual ware is only a shell. The key is the ware pattern. This is a secret that the Buddhism doesn’t want to expose.”
“I have the ware pattern, and I know the contents of it.”
“What about the text of the scripture?” Azure Demon asked.
The eight groups of spiritual beings could only be successfully created if one possessed the spiritual ware used to hold them, the ware pattern that exerted them, the unique scripture text and the energies of the eight groups of beings.
“I know that, too.”
“Is there anything that you don’t know?!” Azure Demon shouted in a loud voice. It couldn’t sit still anymore.
