Chapter 887: Chapter 285: “It’s not a rotten fruit, I’m just peeling it.” _4
“But…”
“The rule I abide by is equivalent exchange, so telling a few lies occasionally is understandable, right?”
“I may have always stayed in the Peihong Continent, but we of the Evil Demon Clan have our own ways of communication. Chen Qiu, you have a loud reputation in this series of continents, and I have naturally heard of you.”
“I respect you a great deal.”
“Although my Cultivation used to be higher than yours, your potential is definitely stronger than mine, and given ti, your limit is guaranteed to exceed the forr . That’s also why I’m unwilling to fight you and want to sit down and have a sincere talk.”
“One reason is I don’t want to offend you, and the second is I want to make your acquaintance.”
“Otherwise, how could I, a mber of the Evil Demon Clan, be so easy to talk to? Even if I truly cannot defeat you today, I’d still be able to escape.”
“Then why didn’t you say so at first?” Fat Long frowned and asked.
“Stupid!”
Deceit Buddha seriously said, “Of course, it makes look sincere when I’m unaware, doesn’t it? If I knew he was Chen Qiu and then approached him, wouldn’t that make my ulterior motives too obvious?”
“So why are you admitting this now?”
“Having strong self-interest is still a little better than harboring malicious intent. Seeing the doubts in your eyes, I’m worried you might misunderstand.”
“Really?”
The Bai Family Patriarch mused, “The Qi Tian Continent also has quite a few Deceit Buddhas like you. Are they your avatars? Or… your clansn?”
“Clansn.”
Deceit Buddha spoke with a serious expression, “I tend to be more reasonable, but if you encounter my clansn, it’s still best to avoid them as quickly as possible. I have to admit that most Evil Demons have rather volatile tempers and are cruel with their actions.”
“And my clansn are easy to recognize, all bearing this sa infernal appearance.”
“Most of the ti, they are in a statue-like stupor, sleeping in a semi-conscious state.”
“If it’s a Deceit Buddha in the First Grade Continent or Second Grade Continent, they naturally have no fear. Those in the Third Grade Continent or Fourth Grade Continent may be manageable too, but those above are all extrely terrifying beings.”
“The reason I’m telling you all this is I hope you won’t be hard by Deceit Buddhas in the future. I wouldn’t want to ruin the relationship between us, much less have this enmity attributed to .”
“Eh.”
Curious, the Bai Family Patriarch rolled up his sleeves, “For a long ti, everyone has known that those with a Deceit Buddha et unfortunate ends, but no one really knows the specifics. Tell about it.”
“What is the string of Buddha beads in your right hand with thirty-one beads? Can it really fulfill thirty-one wishes for its host?”
“And since you need flesh and blood, why must it only be the host’s own flesh and blood? Won’t soone else’s flesh and blood work?”
“That… ”
Deceit Buddha hesitated for a mont before finally saying, “Although I’ve admired Chen Qiu for a long ti and genuinely wish to establish a good relationship with him, this matter touches upon the secrets of the Evil Demon Clan and cannot be disclosed.”
“If revealed, it would be a deadly blow to the entire Evil Demon Clan.”
“This pertains to the Luck of the Race. Although the Evil Demons have thoroughly fallen on hard tis during the last conflict, losing the right to contend on the ‘Species Battlegrounds’ and not even having a continent of their own anymore, they still barely hold onto a right to survive.”
“I can only disclose a little bit…”
“That is, before the twentieth bead is illuminated, the host still has a sliver of chance for survival. If a powerful being is willing to lend a hand, the host might be saved. But if the twentieth bead is lit, then even an Immortal Emperor would be powerless.”
“Generally speaking.”
“Most Deceit Buddhas will adhere to the ‘Equivalent Exchange’ rule, and they can only fulfill wishes within the limits of their abilities. It is precisely because of their ability to transmit information and items across different Grade Continents that they can satisfy most desires.”
“These particular Deceit Buddhas may not have the best temperants, but at least they still follow the rules.”
“As for the remaining Deceit Buddhas, they have completely entered the path of evil by absorbing the willpower and flesh of their hosts to enhance their own strength.”
“That’s not right, is it?”
Fat Long expressed his doubts, “Didn’t you say that those who abide by the sa rule are sworn enemies? If all you Deceit Buddhas adhere to ‘Equivalent Exchange,’ won’t you eventually lead your own race to extinction?”
“Heh heh.”
The Deceit Buddha chuckled dryly, “You’re overthinking it. One would have to reach a sufficiently high position to consider those who abide by the sa rule at the sa level as sworn enemies. If there were really a Deceit Buddha from the Evil Demon Clan who could reach such a position, all Deceit Buddhas would willingly step aside for them.”
“It would be a matter of honor for the race and a presence that could allow the Evil Demon Clan to shine once more.”
“Why would there be competition?”
“I understand now.”
Chen Qiu nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Deceit Buddha in front of him with a smile, “Can all Deceit Buddhas transmit information and items disregarding the Continents?”
To be honest.
He was sowhat tempted; he didn’t understand the strength of this race, or else he really would want to bring this race under his command.
This ability, taken alone, doesn’t actually provide a huge advantage to a race.
But paired with him, it would be a killer move!
The Deceit Buddha also reacted instantly, chuckling dryly a few tis, “Actually, it’s not entirely accurate. For instance, there is a revered Deceit Buddha whom we’ve been unable to contact, unable to transmit information or items to, and we don’t even know on which Continent they are. There are so loopholes.”
No matter how weak the Evil Demon Clan is, it’s still a race; how could they possibly beco subordinate to another?
Moreover, this is not a decision he could make on his own.
Over the years.
There have been many who wanted the Evil Demon Clan to beco their subordinates, including many high-Grade forces from the Immortal Realm, who were more suitable than Chen Qiu, but they all refused. To achieve the revival of the race, the first thing to ensure is the independence of the race.
Becoming a subordinate to others ans never being able to revive.
“One last question.”
Fat Long raised his finger, “How does your Evil Demon Clan pass down its heritage? You don’t look like you’re capable of having children.”
“…”
The Deceit Buddha’s mouth twitched slightly, “That’s also a secret of the race, not to be disclosed.”
“What can you disclose?”
“Haven’t I already said enough? I’ve told you everything I can.”
“Aside from being a Deceit Buddha, do you have your own na?”
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
“Grinding Plate.”
