Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Golden Cicada closed his eyes, feeling enlightened within.

Buddha and Demon, have never been distinguishable as good or bad, they are merely names.

What difference does practicing Buddhism make? Can’t one still become a demon?

What about demons, they can equally embrace great goodness like a Buddha, with countless merits, good and bad are not determined by the path one practices!

Unconsciously, a Buddha statue appeared behind Golden Cicada, looking exactly like him!

"True Buddha Enlightenment, Golden Cicada’s Buddhist Dao has advanced again!" the old man exclaimed in surprise.

This is one of the Secret Techniques of the Buddhist Dao, the True Buddha comes into the world. When a person comprehends the Secret Techniques of the Buddhist Dao, then he forms a Buddha Heart, Buddha Fruit, and Buddha Body, thus he is the True Buddha!

The Demon Emperor actually enlightened Golden Cicada, greatly enhancing his Buddhist Dao. This... is truly absurd, a demon teaching a Buddha enlightenment!

"Thank you, Demon Emperor, for enlightening me." Golden Cicada opened his eyes and bowed to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan smiled softly without speaking, Golden Cicada’s comprehension is truly high, naturally gifted for practicing Buddhism.

"A demon teaching a Buddha enlightenment is quite interesting. Demon Slayer, what I’m curious about is, where did you get so many merits?" the Evil Buddha, who had been silent for a long time, sneered coldly.

"An Evil Race dares to practice Buddhism, this seems even more amusing." Chen Lan did not answer but sneered back.

His merits were naturally accumulated over three lifetimes, he never murdered the innocent; those who died were guilty and deserved it. He saved countless people.

He never showcased his merits because he didn’t practice Buddhism. Buddha is too dull, being a free-spirited demon is better, unafraid of anyone.

If he truly wanted to delve into the Buddhist Dao, he could directly use merits to elevate his Buddhist Dao, reaching the extreme in one step, but he couldn’t walk too far on the Buddhist Dao, it wasn’t his path.

The Evil Buddha’s face instantly turned somber, he snorted lightly, and the Dao space unfolded in an instant; it was an Illusory Dream!

Enveloping all three, the old man was terrified: "Lord Evil Buddha, this has nothing to do with me, could you let me out?"

Entering the Evil Buddha’s Dao space, would he still have a life to leave?

"Golden Cicada is your disciple; you failed in teaching your disciple, so you have no reason to live." A voice echoed through the space.

The old man exploded instantly, scattering into a blood mist wafting in the air.

"Master!!!" Golden Cicada shouted angrily, eyes widening.

His master... was dead!

Although he hated his master for deceiving him, the master had at least protected him. When the Celestial Domain seized people, he was captured; it was the master who shielded him and nurtured him for tens of thousands of years to achieve today’s accomplishments.

Even though he just learned his master deceived him, he still felt grateful to his master.

"Bastard!!!" Golden Cicada cursed angrily, the True Buddha behind him wobbled.

For those on the Buddhist path, swearing is most taboo, so they rarely curse.

Self-cultivation and virtue are the righteous paths of the Buddhist Dao.

"Golden Cicada, don’t let this affect your Buddhist Dao. If you want revenge for your master, you should use the Buddhist Dao." Chen Lan spoke dispassionately.

Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada was taken aback, immediately sitting cross-legged, trying hard to calm himself down.

Chen Lan was right; if he wanted revenge, he could only rely on the Buddhist Dao.

Gradually, the surrounding environment changed drastically, the world dimmed, and a half-moon hung in the sky, soon covered by clouds.

"Demon Slayer."

A voice called from behind Chen Lan. He turned around, squinting slightly.

He saw a gigantic temple behind him, its open doors seemingly inviting him inside.

"Illusory Dream? I have one too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds dispersed, the half-moon became vividly red, crows cawed unceasingly, and the laughter of little ghosts echoed through the forest.

"Come in!" A furious roar came, and a powerful suction pulled Golden Cicada into the temple.

Seeing this, Chen Lan stepped inside.

Just as he entered, the temple doors slammed shut, dim lights scattered dimly from the ceiling, and in front sat a statue of Maitreya Buddha, with a bizarre smile, corners of its mouth reaching its ears, not looking like a smile but more like a split mouth!

On both sides were many Buddha statues, all with peculiar postures, unlike orthodox Buddha statues.

Suddenly, all the statues turned their heads towards Chen Lan, revealing eerie smiles.

"Annihilate." Chen Lan spoke lightly, slashing a sword, shattering all the Buddha statues, speaking lightly: "If these are just little tricks, then it’s too boring."

Boom!

The temple doors reopened, bringing a gust of wind carrying a stench!

Chen Lan turned to see a giant evil wolf crouching at the door, blood-red eyes fixated on Chen Lan, baring its teeth, drooling.

At this moment, Chen Lan heard sounds behind him. He turned to see that the Buddha statues he had shattered were restored, standing up one by one, facing him with various Magical Treasures in their hands.

Rumble!

The enormous Evil Buddha moved, rising slowly, breaking the temple as countless fragments fell, seeing daylight again.

"Demon Slayer, being merely at the half-step Divine Technique realm, you dare to step into the Celestial Domain, truly seeking death!"

With that, the giant Evil Buddha stomped down fiercely, all the other Buddha statues moved, hurling various Divine Spiritual Techniques, and the giant evil wolf also attacked.

Chen Lan retreated rapidly, simultaneously slashing a sword, Demonic Qi surging, blood-red Sword Qi crisscrossed, cleaving the evil wolf and shattering the Buddha statues. The Evil Buddha’s foot crashed down, causing the temple to tremble three degrees.

"Demon Emperor, I will assist you."

At this moment, Golden Cicada awoke, the True Buddha behind him no longer trembling, now stable.

He chanted under his breath, one segment after another of Buddhist Scripture and Brahma Sound arose, suppressing the reviving evil wolves and Buddha statues, completely shattering them.

Indeed, good triumphs over evil; these evil spirits can only be swiftly resolved by a true Buddha.

"Golden Cicada, do you intend to oppose me too?" the Evil Buddha said coldly.

"You killed my master, I must avenge him!" Golden Cicada said solemnly.

If this enmity is not avenged, he would be unworthy as a disciple!

Seeing this, Chen Lan found a place to sit. Since Golden Cicada wanted vengeance, he wouldn’t interfere, as he believed Golden Cicada could handle it.

"Buddha Heaven Forbidden Land!!!" Golden Cicada shouted angrily, the surrounding space began to tremble, and the temple gradually collapsed.

Chen Lan raised an eyebrow, sensing a new Illusory Dream entering; it was Golden Cicada’s Dao space.

Not knowing whether Golden Cicada already had an Illusory Dream or achieved a breakthrough today, but with the Illusory Dream, his odds of killing the Evil Buddha greatly increased, without him needing to act.

Chen Lan knew that if he wanted to eradicate the Evil Race in the Celestial Domain, he couldn’t do it alone. If he could recruit Golden Cicada, let him first unify the Buddha Domain, and then let Buddha Domain start counterattacking the Evil Race, there would be a high chance of success.

To start a war, one must gather troops, employ good generals and strategists, and Golden Cicada was his first target, and would be his first general; the plan to cleanse the Evil Race begins now!
