Chapter 325 The Cold and Pure Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [1]
When Jiang Xiyu opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the void, while below, the human cultivation sect and the demon race were fighting each other, with cries of agony everywhere.
The sect leader of the cultivation sect watched as his disciples died one after another at the hands of the demon chieftain. He looked up at the man in black robes standing before the myriad demons and angrily rebuked him: "Demon Emperor, you have violated the alliance without authorization. When the Grand Master of Jade Capital arrives, you will not be spared."
The man in black robes, named Xiu Jie, was the commander of the demon realm. When he heard the immortal sect leader uttering threats at him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Old man, the person has already admitted their mistake, and I still won't forgive you..."
As he spoke, the man looked down at his feet and anxiously asked, "Demon Emperor, what are you waiting for? Just let me go down and wipe them all out."
The one he called the Demon Emperor—no, meow—was obediently pacing in the air.
Upon hearing the man's words, it slowly crouched down and then gracefully wrapped its tail around itself.
The cat was beautiful and had a unique personality. Its head was round and its fur was a blend of snowy white and the golden hue of dawn. When the light shone on it, it looked so pure and adorable that it seemed less like a creature from the demon realm and more like a divine kitten guarding the Buddha in a temple.
When it looked up, its pupils were a noble gold, and its sitting posture was incredibly adorable.
Xiu Jie was immediately overwhelmed by the cuteness and his eyes went black. He tried his best to resist the urge to touch it and offend the Demon Emperor.
Who would have thought that the mighty Demon Emperor who controls the demon realm is not a ferocious demon beast at all, but a seemingly holy and adorable soft and cute creature.
Of course, to save face for the Demon Emperor, apart from Xiu Jie, no other demons in the demon race knew what his true form was.
Jiang Xiyu never expected that despite having such a prestigious title, his true form would be so harmless.
It took him a long time to finally accept that his true form was a cat. Then, he helplessly waved his paws, which looked like little buns, and slowly said, "Meow...meow?!"
no? !
Seemingly not expecting that what she was saying wasn't human language, the cat's meow suddenly rose in pitch, silencing Jiang Xiyu herself and making the demon army behind her burst into laughter.
They never expected that the commander-in-chief, who was usually so imposing, would actually like to keep such little creatures. The shock to them was no different from that of Lu Zhishen embroidering.
Jiang Xiyu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiu Jie.
Xiu Jie coughed twice, his voice as loud as a bell, stopping the laughter behind him.
Once it finally quieted down, he used his mind to discuss with Jiang Xiyu: "Why don't you change back, Demon Emperor? You look weird to me like this."
Jiang Xiyu easily jumped onto his shoulder and said, "Didn't you hear that old man say that he has already sent someone to invite the Grand Master Yujing? When you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way."
Xiu Jie joked, "The Demon Emperor is indeed flexible and adaptable. I truly admire his willingness to go to such lengths for his wife."
The 'wife' he mentioned was the mortal wife that Jiang Xiyu married in this world.
As for the specific introduction of his identity, Jiang Xiyu hadn't had time to receive it all yet.
He didn't speak again, but silently watched the battle below, and silently counted 00 in his mind.
00 spoke up: "Master, we've arrived in the new world."
One second she's serious, the next she's screaming: "Wow, Master, you're even cuter than me!"
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
Sharp cat claws instantly emerged from the fur.
00 immediately shut up.
Jiang Xiyu said: [Transmit the remaining background story.]
00 Cowardly Turtle: [Yes, Master.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the fragmented memories that Jiang Xiyu had been receiving were completely filled in.
In the new world, Jiang Xiyu's soul resides in the identity of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan.
As for why the original owner, a cat, was able to sit in this position, that's a long story.
In short, the cat is the principal deity of Pure Land Buddhism and has an affinity with Buddhism. In addition, those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who practice Buddhism like to keep small animals. Therefore, the cat's true form is specially permitted by the Buddha to be offered to in temples and enjoy incense offerings.
Although he was a demon, the incense offerings at the temple had transformed his magic from the murky state typical of demons into a pure state akin to that of an immortal, making him far more powerful than an ordinary demon.
The world he inhabits is rather fantastical, where humans, demons, and immortals coexist. Beyond these three races lies the Buddha. The Buddha does not interfere in worldly affairs, yet he is revered as a deity by humans. Humans spontaneously offer sacrifices and incense to the Buddha. Seeing that the human race is too weak, the Buddha sends his personal disciple into the mortal realm to help them overcome their difficulties, thereby forging an alliance among the three realms and temporarily achieving a strange balance.
As the original owner of the Demon King, his nature made him dislike killing. He always restrained his subjects, and under his leadership, most of the demons were kind-hearted and would not actively invade the human race. They also maintained a non-aggression relationship with the human and immortal races. However, this peaceful period lasted less than a hundred years before the human race broke the alliance.
Humans are obsessed with cultivating immortality and want to achieve immortality, so they established the Immortal Cultivation Sect. However, they are born with mortal bodies, so the path to immortality is destined to be difficult and long.
As a result, some cultivators of the human race began to have designs on the demon race.
They actually tricked those kind little demons, secretly hunting down innocent demons and refining them into pills to help them cultivate.
The original owner was furious and immediately disregarded the alliance, sending troops to the Immortal Cultivation Sect to seek justice.
The time point Jiang Xiyu is currently at is the time when he launched his attack on the Immortal Cultivation Sect.
However, this move will surely alarm the Grand Master of Yujing.
Jiang Xiyu wanted to see him.
The purpose of this military expedition was twofold: first, to meet this Buddhist disciple, and second, to become his disciple and learn Buddhist practices.
Only by learning Buddhist practices can one reach the highest realm, travel to Buddhist holy sites, and seek the Buddhist relics that can save his wife's life.
This was the original owner's first and most important wish.
Speaking of this mortal wife, she has quite a background.
In the original world, the original owner happened to save a woman who had collapsed by the roadside on her way to the human world to enjoy incense offerings. After the woman regained consciousness, she had nowhere to go and said that she wanted to repay him with her body. Jiang Xiyu had already fallen in love with her at first sight. Seeing her persistence, he took her back to the demon world and married her despite everyone's objections.
After he married her, the woman's health deteriorated day by day.
At first, Jiang Xiyu thought she was suffering from acclimatization problems. Later, even the demon doctor couldn't tell what illness she had, only saying that she didn't have much time left. Just when he was at his wit's end, someone deliberately mentioned in his ear that Buddhist sacred objects could not only bring people back to life, but also grant them immortality.
Humans have short lifespans, and Jiang Xiyu was at the height of his affections at that time, so he used the story of cultivators hunting down demons to disguise himself and enter the Buddhist sect.
Unfortunately, he didn't know the woman's true identity.
The woman was originally an unidentified skeleton abandoned in the mountains of the human realm.
It was the evil aspect that Shigatse extracted when he was practicing Buddhism a thousand years ago.
Simply put, his wife is another Shiga.
