Chapter 185: Chapter 107: Taking over Qingyun Temple

Among the Five Great Demon Gods, the evil intention is the Yaksha King, the killing intention is the Rashamon King, the vicious intention is the Asura King, the intention of battle is the Vajra King, and the thought of destructive rage that annihilates the world is the Destruction Ming King.

The Destruction Ming King, within the fold of Buddhism, is the manifestation of Buddha’s fury, an incarnation of Buddha himself, hence its status eclipses the other Four Great Demon Gods and it is also the most difficult Central Demon God to cultivate.

The Lotus Sect itself incorporated a vast essence of Buddhism, naturally being closely linked with Buddhist practices and the Five Great Demon Gods Visualization Method.

Xu Qing had to admit, many of Buddhism’s teachings naturally suited the purpose of rebellious organizations, perfect for indoctrination and rebellion.

Moreover, in times of chaos, many Big Buddha Temples could be seen as small independent kingdoms.

Rich with money, grain, weapons, and people of high loyalty.

A thought flashed through Xu Qing’s mind as he then attentively studied the Visualization Image of the Rashamon King. This image actually posed a greater impact on the Divine Soul than that of the Yaksha King.

Indicating that the power of the Rashamon King surpassed that of the Yaksha King.

The Rashamon King, with a saw wheel in hand, six arms and three heads, eyes blood-red, and sharp white fangs. On the image, its eyes seemed to come to life, staring at Xu Qing.

Suddenly, the Demon God seemed to leap out of the painting, and Xu Qing felt as though he was in a sea of blood, the nauseating smell of blood filling his nostrils.

"How dare you!"

Within the Sea of Consciousness of Xu Qing’s Divine Soul, the light of the Ziwei Star shone brightly, directly dispelling the myriad illusions brought forth by the Rashamon King.

"Indeed formidable. Had I visualized this image when I first obtained the Yaksha King, my Divine Soul would have been severely damaged." Xu Qing was somewhat surprised; the Rashamon King was even more formidable than he had imagined.

Next, he continuously visualized the Rashamon King in his Sea of Consciousness and subdued it with the illuminated Ziwei Star.

That Ziwei Star symbolized the Heavenly Official Emperor, one of the supreme deities in Taoism, governing the fortune of mankind, and was by no means comparable to the mere Rashamon King.

Under the light of the Ziwei Star, the visualized Rashamon King was continuously subdued.

In just one night, Xu Qing tamed it, making it obey his every command, striking wherever he pointed.

"With the current Great Success of my Divine Soul’s Exorcism cultivated killing intention, the pressure created by the illusion of the Rashamon King is enough to subjugate a Divine Soul Expert of the Driving Realm, even those of Great Success of Exorcism would be strongly affected," Xu Qing had to acknowledge the terrifying aspect of the Five Great Demon Gods.

This was only the Rashamon King. If he were to visualize all Five Great Demons and cultivate them to the point of Manifestation, facing enemies with the visualized manifestation of the Five Great Demons, the sheer spectacle alone, not to mention their power, would intimidate many Divine Soul Experts.

"Elder Fang actually managed to seize the inheritance of the Lotus Sect’s Five Great Demons with his own Divine Soul, truly unimaginable," Xu Qing remembered. He felt a bit incredulous recalling that he had once shared a drink with such a Divine Soul Expert.

Speaking of which, Elder Fang also came from a scholarly background, having passed the examination as number one in the second rank, and was now a top Divine Soul Expert, an all-around enhanced version of Xu Qing.

"Such a formidable person as Elder Fang, at his age, still comes out to support the Emperor’s Reform, it seems that the Imperial Power of Great Yu remains unshakable. Moreover, my previous leverage was really due to the Imperial Power cleaning up the local factions, not my own strength. I mustn’t become self-inflated," Xu Qing reflected on his recent actions, which were basically the same as any local noble would do, nothing particularly out of line.

Bullying the Great Zen Temple was also in tandem with Imperial Power.

Besides, there was still cooperation in the shadows.

Ah, this tense life, when will it end?

Let’s deal with the Qingyun Temple first!

He dared not provoke the Duke Wei Mansion, but couldn’t he handle the Duke’s minions?

The Duke Wei Mansion was the smuggling tycoon of silk trade in the Southeast, colluding with many nobles, undermining the Court’s financial foundations in the Southeast.

His aid to the Court to transition from rice to sericulture was also a strike at the interests of the local smuggling clans headed by Duke Wei.

This stance was inevitable; there was nothing more to say.

Even if Xu Qing did nothing, Duke Mansion’s side would still send people to affect his foundation.

If you want to bring me down, then I will bring you to your knees, no matter who you are.

When you’re out there, fighting for territory, making money, it’s a life-or-death struggle, not embroidery, not playing house, not polite dining, no need for temperance or modesty.

Although Xu Qing entertained the idea of sweeping away the Qingyun Temple, he was not in a rush to do so.

During this time, he continuously familiarized himself with the Flying Sword Skill and cultivated the last two moves of the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber.

One move was "Tiger Roar," the other was "As if Adding Wings to a Tiger."

Additionally, he also merged the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist with the Crane Form Skill to create a set of fist techniques named Tiger Crane Dual Form.

Based on the Strength Force cultivated through the Golden Light Spell, blending the strengths of the Crane Form Skill and the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, the power of this set of fist techniques was decidedly extraordinary.

Now he had the Flying Sword Skill for long-range attacks, the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber for self-defense, and the unarmed Bull Demon Strong Fist and Tiger Crane Dual Form Fist, truly covering all bases.

During this period, the Yellow Millet Rice had also been delivered, and along with the food trade with the Big Buddha Temple and King Lin, trade had been going well. Xu Qing, through the Recovery Society, taught many poor people, a portion of whom passed the county examination, and it was not a big problem for them to get through the prefectural exam next.

Regarding the imperial examination, the admission rate itself was thirty to forty percent each time, so there was no need for special favors.

Also, this year’s examination schedule was out, with the provincial exam in September and the examination in early spring next year.

Meanwhile, at the end of March, the end of spring, Xu Qing also received a letter from Feng Xifeng.
