Junlin pressed Kong Yuan to the ground and forced him to completely devour the demonic heart before letting him go.
Kong Yuan looked distressed. "Senior brother, you've really put me in a terrible situation!"
He was a monk who abstained from meat.
As a result, Junlin stuffed this blood-soaked heart directly into his mouth, and he even ate it.
How can he face himself after this?!
Junlin waved his hand dismissively and said, "Tch, as the saying goes, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart.' You still don't understand. You still need to understand the story of Tang Sanzang that I told you before!"
Kong Yuan gave a bitter laugh. What kind of logic is this?
Whenever Junlin breaks his long-held beliefs, he always comes up with all sorts of bizarre reasons.
Kong Yuan felt helpless.
I figured I might as well have eaten it; the old monks wouldn't know I'd eaten it anyway, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Moreover, that demonic heart was nurtured under his watchful eye, and it contained a portion of Egui's essence.
Although he didn't know who Egui was, being sealed in that mountain range for hundreds of thousands of years meant he was no ordinary person.
This demonic heart should have a significant effect on him.
Just as Kong Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a surge of heat throughout his body, and a powerful force spread through his body.
Immediately afterwards, the veins on his body bulged, as if a strange change was about to occur.
Seeing this, Egui, who was not far away, quickly came over, pressed down on Kong Yuan's shoulder, and suppressed the strange changes in Kong Yuan's body.
Then he said to Junlin, "His strength is too weak, and it's difficult for him to refine that source power."
Their primal power is very strong, but the side effects are also obvious. If the opponent is not strong enough, some strange characteristics can easily appear.
These characteristics may be physical features similar to those of ancient demons, or they may simply be mutations.
Although Kong Yuan's cultivation level was not low, it was still somewhat of a pipe dream for him to successfully refine E Gui's source power.
At this moment, Kong Yuan seemed to have survived a disaster, panting heavily.
He felt like his whole body was about to explode.
If Egui hadn't suppressed the power within him in time, he would probably be dead here today.
Junlin smiled and said, "I know, but you're here, so there's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, Kong Yuan's lips twitched. You're not the one who ate the demon heart, so of course you have nothing to worry about!
Ergui nodded and said to Kongyuan, "I have suppressed the demonic heart within you. There shouldn't be any unexpected events next."
"Thank... wait a minute, Demon Heart? Senior Brother, didn't you just say that was Dao Heart?" Kong Yuan's eyes widened immediately. He had just eaten a Demon Heart?
Jun Lin shrugged and said, "What's the difference? It's just a different name. You watched me cultivate that demonic... cough cough, Dao heart. Do you think it deserves the name 'demonic heart'?"
"..."
Kong Yuan fell silent. Could he be considered one?
If cultivated using normal methods, it might be considered worthy of the name.
However, this Dao Heart was cultivated by Jun Lin over the past few days with countless sacrifices, and it did not harm anyone's life.
And this was bred specifically for him.
What right does he have to look down on such a heart full of brotherly affection?
In the end, Kong Yuan shook his head and said, "What Senior Brother said is true. This thing did not harm anyone's life, so it cannot be called a demon."
Jun Lin nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, it's worth all my hard work. But there's one thing you need to remember: don't reveal the power of this Dao Heart too early."
The Eguis are ancient demons, whose origins contain the world's original demonic energy, the purest form of demonic energy.
Therefore, Kong Yuan also contains demonic energy within his body, but it has not yet been revealed.
Kong Yuan was embarrassed. "I know, senior brother. Even if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have dared to reveal it now."
The Western Buddha Kingdom is also a place that hates demons, and he, a Buddhist disciple, dared not imagine the consequences if he exposed the demonic energy within him.
Seeing this, Junlin was also very satisfied.
It's good that this kid knows his own situation; now they're all in the same boat.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Kong Yuan, but rather that he needed multiple layers of insurance.
Otherwise, if this kid goes back and tells everyone everything, his status in the Wuyang Sect might be reversed.
"Senior brother, aren't you coming back with me this time?" Kong Li suddenly asked before leaving.
I was just asking casually out of politeness.
But to his surprise, Junlin nodded in agreement after a moment of silence.
"You know what, I really should go back and take An'an with me."
Junlin glanced at Lin An'an in his arms. He knew he definitely couldn't take Lin An'an with him when he went to Beihai.
The danger level in Beihai is relatively much higher.
Although it made little difference to him, it was far too dangerous for Lin An'an.
He would be heartbroken if anything unexpected happened.
Kong Yuan nodded. Going back with Jun Lin would mean getting a golden lion to ride, which would be much easier than flying back on his own.
...
Another month has quietly passed.
This time, King's Landing was traveling at full speed because Erye was constantly chattering beside them.
Although more than two months have passed, the exchange competition is still ongoing, but it has now reached its final round.
In other words, it's a contest of Buddhist teachings.
The disciples of Wuyang Sect had absolutely no interest in this.
