"Cunning Bald Donkey"

After hearing Liang Long’s story, Lin Jiang couldn’t help but curse; Liang Long’s methods were undoubtedly top-notch, and it could only be said that the bald donkey Hui Ming was very crafty and very alert.

"Anything produced by Old Liang must be a high-quality product. As long as Hui Ming doesn’t leave immediately, if I talk to him a few more times, even if I can’t win him over right away, I can still shake his mindset and lead him to think like me."

Liang Long said lightly after finishing; Hui Ming is very smart, but he is just a little less clever, and I can handle Hui Ming now.

"Is there this chance?"

"Yes, I used how to define good to defeat Fa Kong’s Buddhist Heart back then. Now I will use how to define Buddha to defeat Hui Ming. Idealists fear the collapse of their ideals the most, and he has already fallen into my trap."

"It still has to be you, Liang Long."

Lin Jiang was overjoyed after hearing this; it really was Liang Long, who could solve everything.

"There is one more thing to mention; I made some items that have already entered the Demon Domain, and I have been working on three planets in the Demon Domain, collecting quite a lot."

"Oh, it has already gone in?"

"Yes, it went smoothly."

"Tell me about the situation in the Demon Domain."

"The Demon Domain has thirty-six planets, a pure demon race world. They are not involved with the Buddha’s sect, Heaven’s Court, or the demon race. The ecology of the demon race is somewhat similar to that of humans. The fourth-level transformed demon race lives in Demon City, with only a few in the wilderness. The social ecology of the demon race is very much like that of the cultivation era, divided by clans."

Divine beasts, fierce beasts, and demon beasts are the internal distinctions among them. Divine beasts, as the name suggests, are demon beasts with very strong bloodline abilities, inherently powerful, and their bloodline inheritance is quite clear. Fierce beasts are some fierce demon beasts. Their bloodline abilities are not as good as those of divine beasts, but some fierce beasts are not weaker than divine beasts. Your beast pet, the Aurora Falcon, can be classified as a fierce beast, while demon beasts are ordinary demon beasts with limited strength and potential, belonging to the lowest class among the demon race.

"The social hierarchy of the demon race is very strict. Although there are rules like human laws in Demon City, forbidding random attacks, divine beasts still hold the upper class status. Oppression and bullying of fierce beasts and demon beasts is a common occurrence. However, they have grown accustomed to it. They do not have the concept of equality among all beings; they believe it is inherent…"

Liang Long shared the news he had learned. Some of the items he made included low-level divine beasts, which have a decent status in the Demon Domain and know many things.

"What is the strength of the demon race?"

"Very strong, one of the planets is about the same size as Blue Star. I know there are more than seventy eighth-rank demon races, and the seventh-rank demon races are not less than five hundred. About every hundred years, there will be a demon race Transmigration, with a success rate of about fifty percent. There are definitely many Demon Immortals."

"Are there large planets among the demon races? Do their planets communicate with each other?"

"There are a few planets that are not inferior to Mahayana Star. There is very little communication between the planets. Although they also use Stargate Secret Techniques, the distance is very far. Demon races do not communicate; only Demon Immortals have contact. Moreover, each demon race planet is led by powerful divine beasts. The Demon Ancestor of the demon race is a dragon, a true dragon with very pure blood, and very strong power. The dragons at the Transmigration Stage are comparable to top Bodhisattvas."

"It seems that the strength of the demon race is indeed very strong."

Lin Jiang said that the six Star Domains of the Heavenly Court no longer have any significant demon race forces. Those that exist are under the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect, so he did not think the demon race was strong, but the Demon Domain seems very strong now."

"The demon race should not be underestimated. In the past, when we fought against the Demon Queen, the most frightening thing about the demon race was their numbers. The current Demon Domain is the same; they have cultivated a certain kind of Demon Insect that can fight in space. They have little intelligence and rely on sheer numbers—enough resources to count in the billions."

"The Demon Queen had also cultivated this kind of Demon Insect before but eventually gave up."

"Yes, the Demon Insects under the Demon Queen are low-end; theirs are very powerful."

"Against us, they would suffer. At a sufficient distance, three or five Space Battleships could destroy them."

"In theory, that’s true, but the battlefield is strange, so we still need to be careful."

Liang Long said that if it is a demon race commander, then the Space Battleship is just like that, and there are many ways to deal with it casually, and we can still win.

"Are there humans in the Demon Domain?"

"Yes, there are quite a few. In the several demon race planets I am exploring, each planet has between twenty million to two hundred million humans. There are cultivators, but their strength is not high, and they cannot become immortals. Humans in the Demon Domain are pets and slaves of the demon race. You can think of them like the ancient times on Blue Star."

"Moreover, I really suspect that Blue Star was once a part of the Demon Domain. Later, the demon race forces from the six major Star Domains were cleared out by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect working together, and Blue Star was a fish that slipped through the net, and then it was picked up by Xia Qingshan."

"This could be true; the Demon Queen’s bloodline is also very pure."

Lin Jiang said that the Demon Queen’s Rufu bloodline is very pure, and also the Phoenix clan, it’s not surprising that they come from the Demon Domain.

"In my opinion, the Buddhist Sect will not be easily destroyed. As things go on, the demon race will definitely intervene, and they will not let the Heavenly Court take over everything. The six major Star Domains combined have hundreds of life planets."

"I have considered this too, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter who we fight; that’s not something we need to think about. Liang Long, you should just blend into the Demon Domain and try to get inside."

Lin Jiang said that he needs more information about the Demon Domain. He needs to have a general understanding of the universe’s civilizations to avoid defeat.

"Okay, I understand. Since it is peaceful now, I will build another Space Mother Ship to send over."

"Sure, use the resources as you like. How will you send it over? Is everything ready?"

"I will deliver it myself, it will only take a few hundred years. I can wait."

Liang Long said that the Space Battleship is simple, and sending it over will be easy too. He just needs to separate a Soul Fragment. He won’t take any delays on the way. With his strength, it will take at most three to five hundred years to arrive. He has the time and patience for that.

Mahayana Star, somewhere

Hui Ming recited the Buddhist scriptures over and over again. He was strengthening his Buddhist Heart.

Liang Long disagreed with the idea that Hui Ming does not have a Buddhist Heart. He believed his own Buddhist Heart was very firm and that he was one of the most devoted Buddhist cultivators in the Buddhist community. How could he not have a Buddhist Heart?

However, this time, no matter what methods Hui Ming used or what Buddhist scriptures she recited, she could not calm down.

In the end, Hui Ming took a glowing statue of Buddha from her storage space, and then a voice appeared, saying, "Hui Ming, your Buddhist Heart is disturbed."

"Yes, Master, my Buddhist Heart is disturbed."

"You told me before that nothing in the world could disturb your Buddhist Heart."

"Master, I underestimated the temptations of the world and overestimated my Buddhist Heart. Please punish me, Master."

"Talking about this is useless. Did you gain anything from your journey to Mahayana Star?"

"I gained a lot."

"Since you gained a lot, why is your Buddhist Heart disturbed?"

"Master, Liang Long from the Heavenly Court asked me what a Buddha is, and I could not think of an answer."

Hui Ming lowered his head and said, Liang Long did not ask this question, but every word Liang Long said carried this meaning.

Liang Long questioned the definition of Buddhism through many scenes and examples. What does it mean to practice Buddhism? What is Buddha? Is the Buddha mentioned in Buddhism truly Buddha?

"Hui Ming, Buddha is in the heart. The scriptures are not Buddha, the temple is not Buddha, the statue is not Buddha, and even the true Buddha is not Buddha. The Buddha in your heart is the true Buddha…"

The words of the master resonated in Hui Ming’s ears, but he no longer felt that enlightening sensation in his heart. Such words could not answer the doubts in Hui Ming’s mind.

However, Hui Ming did not dare to say much. Soon, he put away the statue of Buddha. Over time, it would be exposed; after all, this was his means of staying safe on Mahayana Star.

Although he appeared righteous on Mahayana Star, as if he could sacrifice himself for Buddhism at any moment, it was all an illusion. He had long been prepared and did not dare say he could return alive for sure; anyway, easy targets could not kill him.
