Chapter 546 The Demon Lord's Dark Past

"Li Xiaotian, you have already received the Demon Lord's inheritance. The Demon Lord's inheritance is no less than that of any other force in this world. Why are you interested in the Buddhist sect's techniques?"

Glazed Bodhisattva said with a cold face. Then, his heart stirred, and he looked at Li Xiaotian and smiled.

He recalled an ancient legend about the relationship between Buddhism and the Demon Lord, and transmitted a message to Li Xiaotian.

"Heh heh, Li Xiaotian, I know what you want."

Li Xiaotian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. Did the other party guess? How could this be possible?

He remained calm, not speaking hastily, but waiting for the other party to continue.

"There is an interesting story from the ancient Buddhist continent, a tale about Buddhism."

Glazed Bodhisattva spoke unhurriedly, smiling inwardly. He had already guessed what Li Xiaotian wanted. He had almost fallen into the other party's trap just now, intending to exchange a few unimportant Buddhist scriptures from the sect. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have truly let the other party succeed.

"In ancient times, there was a top expert from your Yan Continent who concealed his cultivation and joined the Buddhist sect as a menial monk. It is said that he intended to start from being a menial monk and gradually gain access to the core techniques of Buddhism."

"However, Buddhist scriptures are profound, and he could not endure the Buddhist precepts. So, one night, he sneaked into the Buddhist sutra repository to steal the techniques."

Glazed Bodhisattva said in a calm tone, while Li Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. Could it be that the other party had truly guessed?

"But my Buddhist power is profound. What that person didn't know was that the Buddha had discovered him the moment he entered the Buddhist sect."

"The Buddha said all beings are equal. He did not expose the person on the spot but gave him an opportunity. If he wholeheartedly sought Buddhism, he would naturally obtain the techniques he desired."

"Unfortunately, he chose the most foolish method, attempting to steal the techniques."

Glazed Bodhisattva paused at this point, then looked at Li Xiaotian and asked.

"Do you know who that person was? What technique did he attempt to steal from the Buddhist sect?"

"It's just an ancient legend, how would I know? What do you mean by saying this, Bodhisattva? Are you trying to stall for time?"

Li Xiaotian spoke calmly, while observing the reaction of the demonic pearl within his body. If he guessed correctly, the person Glazed Bodhisattva was referring to was the Demon Lord.

"That person was precisely the Demon Lord, and the technique he wanted to steal was the Buddhist sect's 'Heart Calming Mantra'."

Glazed Bodhisattva smiled and said, then continued.

"Unfortunately, he underestimated the Buddhist sect and was caught red-handed by the Buddha. The Buddha intended to suppress him for a thousand years and eliminate his demonic nature. Who would have thought that the dignified Demon Lord would actually plead with the Buddha and play the pity card?"

"Bullshit!!! What is this bald donkey spouting? How could this seat, the Lord of the Demonic Way, plead with that divine swindler? This seat never came to the Buddhist continent in ancient times! Everything this bald donkey says is fake!!!"

Li Xiaotian was listening when suddenly the demonic pearl within his body trembled, emitting the Demon Lord's furious voice.

"Kid Li, kill him! This bald donkey is talking nonsense and slandering this seat's reputation. Kill him for me!! Destroy that stinking mouth with the demonic sword!!"

The Demon Lord roared, his tone filled with anger. Simultaneously, the demonic sword within Li Xiaotian's body vibrated violently, as if it would emerge at any moment.

Li Xiaotian coughed dryly, quickly suppressing the commotion within his body, his expression odd. Judging by the Demon Lord's reaction, could it be that everything Glazed Bodhisattva said was true?

He never imagined that the Demon Lord would have begged for mercy from others after becoming famous? Playing the pity card?

"Bullshit!!! Li Xiaotian, what are you thinking? Did this seat beg for mercy from that divine swindler? This seat has never begged for mercy from any enemy, even when its power was low!"

The Demon Lord roared. Li Xiaotian's thoughts were detected by him, causing him to become even more enraged. His own successor actually doubted him, how could he face it?

"This seat is invincible in every battle! Any enemy, any existence that dares to provoke this seat, this seat has only one word, and that is BATTLE!!!"

"What kind of menial monk are you talking about? Even if this seat sneaked into the Buddhist sect, it would be at the elder level. Besides, that divine swindler was just a mere avatar, how could he possibly detect this seat?"

"Ahem, how did you know it was an avatar of the Buddha who discovered you at that time?"

Li Xiaotian coughed dryly. It seemed that the person was indeed the Demon Lord, which was confirmed. He had only suspected it initially, but he did not expect the Demon Lord to slip up himself. Now he was certain. He never imagined that the Demon Lord would have such a dark history after becoming famous.

"Bullshit!!! Kid Li, you doubt this seat? Dammit, you actually doubt this seat? This seat is a top-tier expert of the human race, a overlord, and you actually doubt this seat?"

Unexpectedly, after Li Xiaotian said this, the Demon Lord became even more furious. The demonic pearl trembled violently within Li Xiaotian's body, as if it was about to burst out. Even the demonic sword began to hum, avenging its master.

Li Xiaotian suppressed his laughter and quickly suppressed the commotion within his body, while also sealing the demonic sword layer by layer.

If he couldn't deal with the Demon Lord, couldn't he deal with a mere weapon? Why was it joining in the fun.

"Actually, there's nothing shameful about begging the Buddha for mercy, after all, that is an invincible expert, an immortal existence."

Li Xiaotian said, comforting the Demon Lord. After all, not everyone was qualified to beg for mercy from an invincible expert.

"Go to hell, Li Xiaotian, you've grown brave! Do you want to anger this seat to death? This seat has already said that person wasn't me, and you still don't believe it? What's an invincible expert? What does immortality mean? This seat battled invincible existences in ancient times!!!"

The Demon Lord roared. If he had a physical body at this moment, his expression would undoubtedly be very interesting.

"I believe, I believe you, okay? By the way, did you eventually get the Heart Calming Mantra? If you did, give it to me quickly, so I don't waste time in the Buddhist continent."

Li Xiaotian was speechless, but he was slightly happy. If the Demon Lord had the Heart Calming Mantra, wouldn't the problem of the demon soldier legion be solved easily?

"No! What Heart Calming Mantra? This seat has never even heard of it. This seat has never been to the Buddhist continent. No! Nothing!"

The Demon Lord quickly replied, but his tone lacked confidence. Before Li Xiaotian could speak again, he quickly added.

"This seat is tired. Don't disturb this seat when you have nothing else to do!"

After saying that, the demonic pearl within Li Xiaotian's body calmed down, and no matter how Li Xiaotian called out, there was no response.

At this moment, Glazed Bodhisattva outside looked at Li Xiaotian with surprise. He had sensed an energy anomaly within Li Xiaotian just now, but it was fleeting.

Could it be that this matter damaged the Demon Lord's reputation, and he was displeased?

Glazed Bodhisattva guessed inwardly, but did not stop there. Instead, he continued to speak.

"My Buddha is merciful. In the end, he did not suppress him but punished him to sweep the sutra repository for a hundred years. After a hundred years, he could be released, and he was also willing to bestow the Heart Calming Mantra upon him."

"Unfortunately, the Demon Lord could not endure the Buddhist environment, and he felt that being a sweeping monk in the sutra repository was beneath his dignity. He left without even persisting for a year."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian understood. No wonder the Demon Lord's tone was not very confident just now. It turned out that in the end, he got nothing.
