Mongke stood above the dead Undead Phoenix, no, White Phoenix, with blood and burn marks all over his body. He had a grin, but the bloodthirsty aura emanating from his body made him more savage than satisfied.
"You were a worthy opponent," Mongke said. After entering the White Phoenix Mode, White Phoenix embodied the word [immortal]. No matter how many severe injuries Mongke placed on him, White Phoenix would heal from and continue fighting. He then used his terrifying regenerative power to learn during this fight, thus increasing his battle experience.
White Phoenix showed he was a true genius at the very end of his life. He absorbed Mongke’s skills and experience like a sponge to use against him. Sadly, he woke up too late.
A white light descended on Mongke, healing his injuries and bringing clarity to his eyes. ’The influence on my personality was much higher than I anticipated.’ To prepare for this battle, he absorbed the experience of one of his ancestors, but while the latter was a battle genius, he was also a madman who cultivated the Dao of War and Slaughter.
’His madness is still lingering in the back of my mind,’ Mongke thought, realizing the effect might become lasting if he did nothing. He exhaled before looking in the distance.
’The good news is the Paragon Slayer Title and all the luck and destiny of White Phoenix,’ Mongke thought. He disappeared from this place, appearing outside.
"Young Khan," saluted an elderly man with strong muscles but way shorter than Mongke.
"How did everything go?" Mongke asked.
"Our people are now looting his palace."
"Did anyone intervene?"
"Yes, but we have dealt with it."
"Any losses?"
"Only minor ones."
Mongke nodded before thinking of something: "Did Wang Wei intervene?"
"No. Lady Dulgun sent information that he would not participate, and so far, he has kept his word." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"That’s good to hear," Mongke nodded. Their alliance has been proceeding well so far, and he did wish for something like this to end or affect it in any way possible.
"Send me all the Buddhist Books and Artifacts we have in store," Mongke ordered. However, the elderly man immediately became on guard after hearing his words. Mongke noticed and understood the latter’s reaction.
The Barbarian Race had its own religion or spiritual practice that involved worshipping nature and ancestral spirits. However, their clan was more exclusive at some point and included Buddhism and Taoism Gods in their fold. However, during Buddhism’s catastrophe, where Maitreya went pseudo-mad, and the power of faith influenced all monks, the Buddhist Barbarians started a coup and almost conquered the clan.
Since then, the Barbarian Race has forbidden the spread and use of any other religions in their practice. However, due to Maitreya’s power and presence, the clan has lowered the restrictions over the years, allowing the study and understanding of Buddhism. However, practicing Buddhism is still taboo.
The Barbarian Clan was composed of countless tribes. Although united, they also compete with each other. The position of Great Khan is the leader of all the tribes with immense power. Mongke was the next Great Khan of their clan, meaning their future leader. The last thing they would want was for him to have a deep relationship with Buddhism.
"The effects of the memories are more severe than I anticipated," Mongke explained. "And Buddhism is the fastest way to restrain or eliminate the effect." Their clan had ways to deal with the problem, but that would require a ceremony that takes time and effort. Mongke understood the emergency nature of the current situation, so he wanted to be back in peak condition as soon as possible.
"As you wish," nodded the elderly man.
Mongke did not return to his tribe but teleported to the War God Temple. This was the source of his memories, which contained some measures to suppress the effect. He received what he asked for and immediately dived into the content. Not surprisingly, Mongke found a Mind Purification Mantran and used it, along with a few artifacts.
However, he was unsatisfied with the speed and continued reading more scripture to improve this mantra. Mongke suddenly paused. A few thousand yuan epochs ago, before this era became chaotic, he had an inspiration for an idea that could change his life. He believed the idea was what he needed to close the gap between himself and Wang Wei. However, that idea always eluded him like a turtle trying to catch a rabbit.
’It’s coming again,’ Mongke thought, feeling the same sensation. However, the result was similar — he could not grasp it. He exhaled to calm down before looking around him, especially the scriptures. Mongke squinted before muttering:
"Buddhism…focuses on developing the mind and wisdom…Wisdom?" A bright light flashed in his eyes. ’Yes — the biggest difference between me and him is intelligence and wisdom. In that case, why can’t I create a cultivation that would grant me the wisdom of a Dao Overlord.’
Mongke immediately acted on this wild whim. He summoned his pagoda artifact since its ability was to help in creating skills and techniques.
