Chapter 278: General Lion
Various ancient books and legends described demons are powerful and horrifying. Yet, such was not true.
If an average human harbored an obsession, he too could turn into a demon. But the extent of his strength would depend on that person’s initial strength. If it was a normal person, he would be a normal demon. Similarly in Hu Yuzhen’s case, she was already at the peak of Rank 5 before she turned into a demon.
However, according to the museum, that wasn’t all to demons. Due to their intense obsession, the demon couldn’t pull themselves away and would constantly end up doing sothing horrible and outrageous.
To slay a demon ant destroying their obsession.
With an idea in mind, Lin Jin began, “Miss Hu, what do you think a Dharma body is?”
He started his guidance.
Clearly having researched this question before, Hu Yuzhen answered effortlessly without missing a beat, “The Dharma body naturally ans having the cosmic laws incorporated into one’s body. Away from the old body and having our spirits renewed. Phenonal powers would co easily and stream endlessly while the physical body never erodes...”
The tigress answered eloquently. It was easy to tell how much effort she had put into deciphering the Dharma body yet failed to attain the proper path to cultivate it.
She couldn’t be blad for this and it wasn’t because she had bad luck either. Quite the contrary, not every person or monster could successfully attain a Dharma body just because they wished it.
In other words, achieving a Dharma body was only a possibility on the path of cultivation but not the only possibility.
God knows who told her that achieving the Dharma body was the only possible way she could break through her bottleneck situation, but Lin Jin could be certain that it wasn’t true. That person may have said so on purpose, or not, but this misleading information ended up harming Hu Yuzhen. To describe this in an idiom, it was ‘an incompetent teacher hampering a student’s progress’.
Even if Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts, he couldn’t help Hu Yuzhen condense a Dharma body right now.
The Dharma body relied heavily on destiny. If one was fated enough to et one, that was that. If they didn’t, several thousand years of wait would still end in vain.
And Hu Yuzhen’s predicant was clearly the latter.
To put it bluntly, Hu Yuzhen could never achieve a Dharma body.
It wasn’t ant for her.
At least the museum didn’t state so. As for whether or not he could use Xiao Huo’s Dharma body thod on her, Lin Jin was skeptical. If he could, the museum would have told him so.
But he couldn’t say so upfront, shattering her hopes and pushing her into despair. Although she had turned into a demon, there was still hope if her obsession was destroyed. If he told her the truth, the tigress might fall into an imdiate frenzy. Once the demonic seed rooted itself too deeply, she would lose her sense of reason and turn into an evil demon that only knew how to kill.
When that happened, what Lin Jin had to slay was not her obsession but her physical being and soul.
At this, Lin Jin decided to use the art of stalling, wondering if he could gradually dissolve her obsession with words. Of course, he could just leave her be, but since the museum ca up with a Demon Slaying Hall, it must have wanted Lin Jin to slay Hu Yuzhen’s obsession. If he didn’t grasp this opportunity, he might just miss out on sothing aweso.
“Xiao Huo, co here.” Lin Jin beckoned Xiao Huo over and the latter quickly jumped over in an agile manner. With the natural glow on his body, he seed to have left a trail of light in the dark night that disappeared quickly after that.
This was the excellence of a Dharma body.
Hu Yuzhen’s eyes were sparkling as she stared at Xiao Huo.
Lin Jin continued, “What my pet beast has achieved is the Yin Yang Dharma body.”
“Yin Yang Dharma body?” Hu Yuzhen’s breath grew shorter as her ears perked up. She knew that this expert was planning to teach her now.
“That’s right. The Yin Yang Dharma body. By combining extre Yin and extre Yang, achieving a balance with cosmic powers, the Dharma body is ford. While the Dharma body is incredible, cultivating one wouldn’t be easy. So if you want to cultivate the Dharma body, it isn’t sothing you can achieve imdiately.” Lin Jin ant to tell her not to rush and take it slow.
Hu Yuzhen was staring at Xiao Huo’s Dharma body with intense envy. At Lin Jin’s words, she quickly nodded. “I understand what you an. I’ve traveled so many places all these years but fail to find a solution so I know that condensing a Dharma body wouldn’t be easy. But I believe that with your guidance, I will one day achieve a Dharma body.”
Having said that, she was about to prostrate to show Lin Jin her respect.
Lin Jin stopped her at once.
“If you guide on the path to attaining a Dharma body, you will be equivalent to Yuzhen’s second parent. Once I achieve this Dharma body, I will obey your every command unconditionally, Sir.” Hu Yuzhen insisted on the salute.
Lin Jin didn’t stop her this ti. Although he didn’t have a thod to condense a Dharma body for this tigress, if he succeeded in slaying her demons, that would an rescuing her. By slaying her demons and destroying her obsession, this tigress could then evolve easily. Hence, accepting her salute, for now, would be fine.
It was now midnight.
Lin Jin suddenly sensed sothing. Looking up, he saw a bright moon as the gentle night breeze ceased. The next instant, this place experienced an abrupt change. An invisible aura began to overflow from the yard as a fog erged out of nowhere. Lin Jin could clearly see a swirl inside the fog as if it was linked to sowhere else. Similar to when his Visitation Hall opened, where the door would lead him to another dinsion.
An average person couldn’t notice this strange phenonon and it was so for the white ape and zombie cthulhu. Only Xiao Huo was glaring at the swirl, growling dangerously.
The next instant, soone ca out of the swirl.
He had the head of a lion and the body of a man. Donning scaled armor, he held a seven-foot flowing cloud hamr and could be described as looking almighty. Once outside, the lion looked around, visibly surprised.
“Why are there only so little of you?”
It seed like he assud there would be more people here.
A lion monster.
Lin Jin was curious as to where this lion monster ca from. He couldn’t tell at all. There were rolling mists at the feet of this lion and Lin Jin assud it was so sort of concealnt magic. At least White Ape and the zombie cthulhu didn’t realize the lion monster’s existence thus far.
At the sight of this lion, Hu Yuzhen stepped forward. “General Lion, greetings!”
Having said that, she bowed.
“It’s you!” The lion monster glanced at her, clearly recognizing her.
After that, as if recalling sothing, he flared up in anger. “Right, I clearly had soone release information that there would be a Beastmaster Fourth Scroll here so this place shouldn’t be empty. Let ask you, is it because you ate them all? The nerve of you, you tiger monster!”
He was clearly condemning her.
Hu Yuzhen frowned. “General Lion, don’t you accuse . I only ate two insensible fools and touched no one else. The others got scared and ran away by themselves.”
“How dare you talk back!” The lion monster held up his flowing cloud hamr, letting out a burst of pressuring energy. “I showed you rcy the last ti and let you leave. To think you would co back again and scare away the humans. How should I report this now? I have to teach you a lesson today.”
Having said that, he swung his hamr.
