Taking a deep breath, Mu Qiuyao slowly said, "Let's change the subject, Shen Zhao, what do you want to do with the Blood Brahma Dragon Scripture?"
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Shen Zhao's expression immediately became serious.
"The Western Buddhist Kingdom was corrupted by an evil aura tens of thousands of years ago and is no longer the paradise that Buddhist disciples yearn for. The Blood Brahma Dragon Sutra contains a legacy that can eliminate the evil, and I must obtain it."
How did you know?
Mu Qiuyao was also intrigued by Shen Zhao's words.
Shen Zhao opened "Journey to the West": "Let's think about it from another angle. Is it possible that Master Xuanzang learned that the Western Buddhist Kingdom was polluted and embarked on the journey to the west to purify Buddhism?"
Mu Qiuyao frowned: "Impossible. Putting aside whether the Xuanzang Journey to the West you mentioned is true, even if it is, he went through eighty-one tribulations before finally attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven."
Shen Zhao shook his head: "Books can be altered, just as victors have the right to delete history books and leave only what is beneficial to themselves for the world to worship. Why can't the Western Buddhist Kingdom do the same?"
And haven't you noticed that the closer one gets to Mount Ling, the more ferocious the demons and monsters become, according to the book? Since Mount Ling is a sacred Buddhist site, how could such vicious demons possibly appear there?
Mu Qiuyao frowned.
Shen Zhao continued, "Just like the description of Lion Camel Ridge, where skulls are like mountains, bones are like forests, human hair is like felt, and human flesh is rotten into mud and dust."
Human tendons clung to the trees, dry and gleaming like silver. Truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the stench was unbearable. To the east, lesser demons seized living people and butchered them; to the west, wicked monsters boiled and cooked human flesh fresh.
How could such a terrifying place exist near a sacred Buddhist site? Is this reasonable?
Mu Qiuyao: "So, you plan to go to Lion Camel Ridge to find out what's going on?"
“I went there once in my past life,” Shen Zhao said. “Unfortunately, it ended abruptly before I even got a clue.”
Mu Qiuyao was taken aback: "Boy, you risked your life for Yu Xiyan?"
"Your Majesty, could you please stop thinking of me as someone who can't live without women?" Shen Zhao was speechless for a moment. "The Western Buddhist Kingdom has caught my attention."
It can only be said that the situation was extremely urgent at that time; if things went wrong, it would be far more terrifying than a calamity from the depths of hell!
Mu Qiuyao immediately retorted: "That's all your side of the story. Even decades after your death, the Western Buddha Kingdom hasn't done anything out of line."
"Hehe..." Shen Zhao chuckled lightly, "Is it possible that the reason the Western Buddhist Kingdom hasn't taken any action is because of my involvement?"
Mu Qiuyao was stunned, her face filled with disbelief: "You? How did you do that?"
Shen Zhao said, "After receiving Yu Xiyan's recall order, I had a premonition that something unforeseen would happen on this trip."
Therefore, before leaving, he exhausted all his cultivation to set up the Purification Array, successfully suppressing the spread of the evil influence.
"The Lost Demon Purification Array?" Mu Qiuyao's face was full of disbelief. "It is said that the Lost Demon Purification Array requires at least five ancient divine artifacts and consumes at least 90% of the cultivation of an Emperor Realm expert to activate it."
But the ancient artifacts have long been lost in the river of time, how could you possibly possess five of them at the same time…
Shen Zhao chuckled: "Who told you that you need five ancient artifacts to activate the Lost Demon Purification Array? As long as they are replicas, they will work just as well."
"A counterfeit?" Mu Qiuyao was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"
Shen Zhao replied, "Naturally, we just need to create five replicas with the same effects according to the characteristics of the ancient artifacts recorded in ancient books. Is that difficult?"
"You can forge ancient artifacts?" Mu Qiuyao was completely shocked. "How is that possible! How could ancient artifacts be imitated and forged? What nonsense are you spouting, kid?"
"How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried?" Shen Zhao sneered. "Then let me ask you, weren't those divine artifacts also forged before they came into existence?"
If they can build it, why can't we? As long as the conditions are right and we have similar materials, anything is possible!
Mu Qiuyao fell silent. Although the words sounded absurd, for some reason, she still felt that the man didn't seem to be lying.
"Of course, a fake is still a fake. After all, time was of the essence, and there wasn't enough time to carefully set up a deeper level of magic array."
However, as long as the original version can achieve 60% of its effectiveness, it will be more than enough to cover the energy consumption of the Lost Demon Purification Array.
Finally, he added, "Although my counterfeit can only ensure that the evil will not spread for ninety-nine years, it can be considered that I have done my last bit of effort for the entire continent before I die."
Mu Qiuyao: "So, when you went to the summit of Nine Abyss for the appointment, your cultivation was greatly damaged, right?"
Shen Zhao crossed his arms and calmly replied, "I have less than 10% of my cultivation left."
"Madman, kid, I really can't see through you. You and that guy are completely opposite extremes. What exactly are you doing this for?"
"If you high and mighty immortal sect experts could put yourselves in the shoes of the innocent and weak, I wouldn't be fighting so desperately."
"I……"
Mu Qiuyao was at a loss for words. Shen Zhao's words made her feel a little guilty.
As an emperor, she had not experienced the hardships of ordinary people for a long time.
He himself had risen from a mortal body to his current position step by step, and he had sworn that on the day he became emperor, he would speak up for the common people.
However, she broke her promise. After achieving the Great Emperor realm, Mu Qiuyao was thinking about how to reach the pinnacle of the Emperor realm, how to ensure the eternal prosperity of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, and how to find the path to immortality, completely ignoring the demands of the "ants" at the bottom.
Just as Shen Zhao said: "The roc spreads its wings for ninety thousand miles, and cannot see the ants on the ground."
At this moment, she was somewhat afraid to look directly at Shen Zhao.
