Chapter 1145: Chapter 665

“Having you refine and absorb it is to help you get familiar with your own power. Although you can achieve the Daluo Realm by refining Golden Cicada, what’s borrowed is always borrowed. Do you want to be stuck at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and never break through?”

The system was extracting the Great Demon killed by Chen Sanzang while pouring knowledge into him.

“Old Xi, can you now quickly refine a Golden Immortal or Taiyin Golden Immortal?”

“You’re dreaming! Every time we transcend a target, I need to rely on the power in your body. With your current strength, refining a Golden Immortal takes ten days to half a month, and don’t even think about a Taiyin Golden Immortal in less than six months!”

Having such a host was quite tiring for Old Xi, but he still added.

“Since the Westward journey is near, you should quickly improve your strength. As for your wives and concubines, after becoming Tathagata, are you afraid of not having resources to elevate them all to Taiyin Golden Immortals?”

Old Xi understood Chen Sanzang’s thoughts very well.

It was nothing more than if he could quickly transcend Golden Immortals or Taiyin Golden Immortals, he would purify them into pure power and first pass it to his wives and concubines, strengthening them and ensuring the Chen’s Immortal Clan’s unmatched foundation.

“Old Xi, you’re still as useless as ever! In that case, I’ll wait until I quickly reach Taiyin Golden Immortal then.”

After mocking Old Xi, Chen Sanzang began refining the pure demonic power in his Sea of Consciousness, converting it into his own Buddhist Power Cultivation.

With the system’s help, the mere True Immortal Realm Great Demon was swiftly transcended, turning all its demonic power into supplements for Chen Sanzang.

Absorbing the cultivation level provided by this Great Demon, Chen Sanzang’s cultivation level surged again.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve improved my cultivation level so quickly; this sensation of rapid growth is truly intoxicating.”

He closed his eyes, feeling the surging power within his physical body. At this moment, Chen Sanzang’s cultivation level reached the True Immortal Level.

“Old Xi, if I can transcend a Saint, can I inherit their power?”

“Why not just say you want to transcend the Heavenly Dao and become it yourself? Go to sleep, anything’s possible in your dreams!”

The system was speechless, expressing that choosing such a host was quite the misfortune!

“A little fantasy isn’t allowed?”

Having refined the supplements, Chen Sanzang picked up the Nine-treasure Zen Staff and without hesitation, stepped out of the first cell, heading toward the next.

As for the Great Demon’s corpse, he dared not touch it, knowing that being allowed by Emperor Shi to easily enter and transcend these demons and ghosts in the Great Qin Empire’s Heavenly Prison was already a great blessing.

Emperor Shi was a decisive ruler; if Chen Sanzang didn’t know how to appreciate kindness, the Chen’s Immortal Clan might face calamity next.

The Great Qin Heavenly Prison had three layers, essentially a small Secret Realm, housing over a thousand demons and ghosts.

The first layer held demons and ghosts with strength up to the True Immortal Peak, except for a few special beings. The rest were all in the True Immortal Realm.

The second layer held demons and ghosts of Golden Immortal Level, with only thirty-two in number.

The final third layer imprisoned two Taiyin Golden Immortal Early Stage prisoners, one Great Demon and one evil ghost.

Chen Sanzang showed no mercy, starting from the first cell on the first level, transcending for a full month, sending over 900 demons and ghosts from this layer to the Western Heaven.

His strength, with this massive accumulation, directly broke through the Profound Gate, reaching the Golden Immortal Level, and through the demons and ghosts’ legacies, soared directly to the Golden Immortal Peak.

It was only at this time he entered the second level of the Heavenly Prison to deal with the thirty-two Golden Immortal Level creatures.

Even suppressed by the Nine Provinces Barrier, Golden Immortals’ majesty was unbearable for prison guards below Immortal Level.

Thus, the prison guards in the second level had all reached the Heavenly Immortal level, with the Prison Chief being a Profound Immortal.

Chen Sanzang’s arrival was welcomed with open arms by these prison guards.

After all, his transcending spree on the first level had already spread through the three levels of the prison.

The prison contained dangerous individuals, so transcending them early meant the guards could live without constantly fearing for their lives, right?

The enthusiastic guards joyfully ushered Chen Sanzang into the cell of the first prisoner on the second level.

Once again, it was a Great Demon, and this time it was an Evil Dragon, fully revealing its true form, in an ominous dark green hue, emitting a Blood Fiend aura, and its Spirit wrapped in Karma.

This creature was surely a scourge, having slaughtered countless living beings.

But at this moment, it was pinned to the ground by thirteen Dragon-locking Nails, unable to move. Blood was still dripping from its wounds.

Every drop of Dragon Blood was transferred by a certain formation into a bottle at the cell door as it hit the ground.

With a little perception, Chen Sanzang discovered that this Evil Dragon’s original foundation had been severely damaged. Its apparent majesty was merely an appearance, and its strength was less than a tenth of its original.

“A monk? You’re here to transcend this king?”

The Evil Dragon half-opened its dragon eyes, seeing Chen Sanzang, especially noticing Chen Liang’s bald head, and immediately perked up.

“This humble monk is here to transcend the Demon King to the Western Heaven.”

Chen Sanzang nodded; isn’t transcending just another form of purification?

“Good, good, good, monks are merciful. As long as you can take this little king to the Western Heaven, this little king is willing to join the Buddhist Sect and become one of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Crowds, serving the Buddhist Sect.”

Captured by the Great Qin Empire and impaled by thirteen Dragon-locking Nails, its essence was being slowly destroyed, and its foundation was deteriorating with the loss of Dragon Blood. If it stayed here for decades, it feared it would fall here.
