[Sincerely asking for subscriptions, the child is about to start school, asking for the child’s tuition!]

Desert!

Ruined temple!

Inside the ruined temple, there were two people. One was Ye Tianchen, who had one foot on a cushion, motionless, and the other was Wuji Taoist, who had fainted on the ground. At this moment, Ye Tianchen saw the scenes that had occurred in this desert years ago, slowly learning about the connection between the Buddha and the Peacock Great Bright King from many years ago, making him unable to resist watching further, wanting to know what exactly happened...

The Young Monk, who could also be called the Young Buddha, was swallowed into the belly of the Peacock Great Bright King.

And the Peacock Great Bright King was mad and bloodthirsty. As a strong figure among the Demon Clan, it was not just about eating humans; anything edible that couldn’t rival the Peacock Great Bright King would fail to escape becoming its delicious food!

However, as the Peacock Great Bright King transformed into a gigantic peacock hovering horizontally in the sky, stationed over this village, preparing to swallow the hundreds of people inside the village in one bite, an astonishing scene unfolded!

In this village, there was an elder leading figure, like a village chief, watching the Peacock Great Bright King perched in the sky, ready to massacre the entire village and swallow everyone, not even sparing newborn babies. Under such circumstances, this elder, along with more than twenty other elders in the village, made a shocking move: they stood out, allowing the Peacock Great Bright King to eat them, hoping it could spare the others!

The spirits of the elders were truly moving, genuinely admirable. Being able to accomplish this in a world of martial arts where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, selflessly sacrificed, and altruistic, it was indeed astonishing, not just for Ye Tianchen, but even the Peacock Great Bright King, such a ruthless Demon, frowned seeing this scene.

”You are insulting me, negotiating with me; there is no room for negotiation with me, the Peacock Great Bright King. Everyone must die, they are all my food!” the Peacock Great Bright King roared angrily.

”Great Demon King, please accept our respects, just wish you could spare the others, let us these twenty old folks become your food!” the leading elder bowed and said.

More than twenty elderly folks, all mortals, knelt before the Peacock Great Bright King, pleading for it to eat them, hoping it would spare the other villagers, especially the children. They hadn’t seen the wonders of the world and were about to be swallowed, becoming the Demon King’s food, which was truly too cruel.

”You...”

The Peacock Great Bright King was stunned, genuinely stunned, seeing such a cute little girl below. It found it couldn’t bear to attack. The people in this village were different from those it had eaten before. Although these people were powerless in its presence, their simplicity, goodness, and bravery were truly shocking to the Peacock Great Bright King. Even a three-year-old little girl dared to stand up to save the villagers, offering it a little flower. The villagers possessed such spiritual strength!

Roar!

Suddenly, the Peacock Great Bright King regained its composure, trembling all over indeed feeling humiliated. Who was it? A bloodthirsty Demon King, sweeping the world, controlling the fate of many beings, now blocked by a mere village of mortals, truly making it feel shameful. It let out a shriek, lunging at the villagers below.

”We beg you, Great Demon King, to devour us!” More than twenty elders immediately rushed to the forefront, wanting to use their lives to preserve the others in the village!

”I am the Demon King, I am the Peacock Great Bright King, no one can negotiate with me...” The Peacock Great Bright King gritted its teeth, opening its enormous mouth, preparing to swallow all the hundreds of villagers in one gulp!

Hum!

Suddenly, at this moment, four Buddha lights shot out from four directions of the village, quickly linking together to form a room-like barrier, protecting all the villagers inside. The Peacock Great Bright King nearly crashed into it but quickly steadied itself and slammed a palm at the Buddha light barrier!

Thud!

There was a dull sound, and the Peacock Great Bright King was thrown back several meters, surprising it unexpectedly. It couldn’t have imagined that there was still a force protecting these villagers, still someone able to stop it!

”Hmm? Could it be this little monk? Has he already set such a formation in this village, wanting to protect these mortals?” The Peacock Great Bright King frowned, muttering to itself.

”What’s happening?”

”It must be that young monk protecting us!”

”Oh my, the young monk has already died, yet he’s still protecting us. He really is a living Bodhisattva!”

”Such a living Bodhisattva cannot die. He must live to save the world!”

”Let’s all pray together for the young monk’s safety!”

At that moment, when the hundreds of people in the village saw the Buddha Light erupting around them, protecting them and not immediately falling into the clutches of the Peacock Great Bright King, they all understood. Even though the young monk was no longer present, or already dead, he was still protecting the entire village. This prompted everyone to clasp their hands, sit cross-legged, and begin murmuring, sincerely praying in their hearts, hoping the young monk would be safe, could return safely, and would save them, save the world!

”Hmph, just a bunch of mortals. That young monk, not knowing his place, dared to offend me, the Peacock Great Bright King, and has already been swallowed by me. How could he still be alive? Don’t indulge in wishful thinking. This Buddha Light won’t protect you for long. You’d better obediently step out and become my food,” the Peacock Great Bright King scoffed.

”We believe that as long as we firmly believe in the power within our hearts, as long as we devoutly pray, miracles will definitely happen!” said the leading elder earnestly.

”Ha ha ha ha, miracles, truly wishful thinking!” the Peacock Great Bright King laughed and roared.

Rumble!

When the Peacock Great Bright King saw the four Buddha Lights connecting together, protecting the people inside the village, blocking its path of destruction, it couldn’t help but release its powerful aura, causing the sky and earth to tremble as if they were about to be shattered by it!

”Such insignificant Buddha Light wants to stop me, the Peacock Great Bright King—utterly beyond one’s depth!” the Peacock Great Bright King said disdainfully, immediately transforming a powerful punch to strike forward!

Thud!

A figure flew back and smashed heavily into the ground, shattering a mountain range. That figure was none other than the Peacock Great Bright King.

”How can this be?” The Peacock Great Bright King was startled, unable to believe why it was sent flying, as no one had attacked it.

”Ming King, you are very powerful, but have you felt it? Even if you want to consume these hundreds of people in the village, they bear no malice towards you. They can understand your desires, but can you understand their desire to live?”

A voice rang out; it was the young monk, causing the Peacock Great Bright King to be stunned, even shocked. It couldn’t comprehend how the young monk was still alive; how could such a thing be possible?

”You... you’re still alive?” The Peacock Great Bright King couldn’t help but glance at its abdomen and asked in astonishment.

”Amitabha Buddha, the reason I’m still alive is that they need me, this world needs me!” The young monk, inside the Peacock Great Bright King’s abdomen, loudly recited the Buddha’s name.

The Peacock Great Bright King frowned deeply. It never expected that the young monk it had swallowed would still be alive, and could still speak within its abdomen. Impossible! Shouldn’t he have already dissolved into pus, merging into its flesh and blood?

”Hmph, didn’t expect you to have such an ability. It seems I’ve underestimated you!” The Peacock Great Bright King said snidely.

”Ming King, I only ask that you spare these hundreds of people in the village. They are ordinary mortals with no ability to fight against you, and among them are newborn infants. I truly cannot bear to see them harmed. If you can promise to spare those below, then I will let you devour me,” the young monk calmly stated.

”Aren’t you afraid I’ll go back on my word?” The Peacock Great Bright King asked with a cold smile.

”Peacock Great Bright King, though the Demon Clan’s powerhouses are brutal and bloodthirsty, they are also heroes who keep their promises. How could they do something as dishonorable as breaking their word?” the young monk confidently replied.

”That’s right, I, the Peacock Great Bright King, always keep my word. Unfortunately, the hundreds of people in this village still cannot escape becoming my food. You cannot stop me!” the Peacock Great Bright King said with a venomous gaze. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
