Chapter 593: 220. Celestial Demons All Fall, Only I Am Free (6.5K Words - Large Chapter, Asking for Subscription)

After an indeterminate amount of time, Song Yan opened his eyes in the dimly lit Zen courtyard. The Bodhi Tree in his heart had become firm, and the eighteen Demon Monks had become his slaves, awaiting his command.

He glanced at the side altar, where a red silk cover draped over it, beneath which was a blurred-faced statue of the Buddha.

The bookshelf was empty, and beside it was a lavish, luxurious soft couch, accompanied by mind-bewitching incense.

The eighteen Demon Monks whispered among themselves, some saying, "How can the Abbot be without the company of beauties?" Others said, "Without fine wine and rich meats, it truly desecrates our Buddha." Some shouted, "Kill, kill, kill, let’s kill some people to entertain the Abbot. This room doesn’t even have a head pot, how shabby, hardly befitting the Abbot"...

"Silence."

The myriad of buzzing, fly-like whispers came to an abrupt halt.

The meditation room returned to silence.

Song Yan swept his gaze over the panel. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With his ascension from "Four Truth Demon Monk" to "Abbot Bodhi," his panel underwent changes.

"Little Heavenly Dao Texts - Introduction" (23/100)

"Little Heavenly Dao Text - Sacrifice" (30/100)

"Little Heavenly Dao Text - ??"

He stared at the character "Sacrifice," falling into deep thought.

He recalled when a mysterious and obscure Heavenly Dao character emerged around him. He first extracted "Introduction" from this mysterious Heavenly Dao character, simplifying it a bit.

Now, he had also extracted "Sacrifice," further simplifying the Heavenly Dao character, leading Song Yan to feel it should also be an independent Heavenly Dao character.

Clearly, the original Heavenly Dao character he saw was not a single character but three characters intertwined. Now, having obtained the character "Introduction" from the Dragon Burial Law and the character "Sacrifice" from the Celestial Demon, the remaining character... was meant to be his own.

"Introduction," to gather the profound.

If he followed the path of the character "Introduction," he might very well tread the path the universe’s master had laid for him.

This path may lead to immense glory, comparing to the ancient Celestial Venerables of the past, but is it his path?

As for "Sacrifice"... Song Yan thought of the scene he had just witnessed where the Fire Demon Dragon absorbed his blood to grow stronger. That is sacrifice, sacrificing flesh and blood to strengthen oneself.

If he followed the path of the "Sacrifice" character, it would mean embarking on a path with the Celestial Demon, with no return.

This path, then, is to abandon everything, sink into the Sea of Suffering, and partake in one end-of-world carnival after another, vying for a seat at the feast to devour all beings. Is this... his path?

No.

Neither of them.

Song Yan’s initial crossing of the Sea of Suffering was motivated solely by the desire to reach the other shore and step into a new Realm.

But now, he realized that the process was more crucial than the endpoint.

Unlike others who might only comprehend one Lifebound Character, he had three.

But having more may not be better; how could mastering eighteen martial arts compare to a swordsman’s lethal move?

At this moment, he felt a sense of burden.
