Zhang Ruochen was very low-key. When he walked into the tavern, he chose a corner seat, sat down, ordered a pot of wine, and drank quietly.

Although he is very famous now, not many people know him.

So, in the tavern, he was not noticed.

Not long after Zhang Ruochen sat down, a voice rang in his ear and said, "Amitabha! Donor, can I sit here?"

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked at the man. He saw a bald man in a simple clothed clothes standing behind him.

Why did Zhang Ruochen think that he was a bald man, not a monk?

That's because this man was very tall, probably two meters tall, like a giant. Ordinary people stood with him and could only reach his abdomen.

Moreover, he had a fat face, looked fierce, and had a wide sword that was two meters long on his back.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a butcher, not a monk.

The bald man struggled to squeeze out a smile that he thought was kind and said, "The location in the tavern is full, and there are only three empty places here. Donor, let's have a convenient way!"

Zhang Ruochen nodded.

"Thanks."

The bald man immediately closed his hands and recited the Buddha's name. Then, he sat down opposite Zhang Ruochen.

Perhaps it was because he was too heavy. After sitting down, the wooden chair immediately squeaked, as if it would break at any time.

"I am a monk's Dharma name, the land. Donor, what do you call him?"

The monk Lidi once again squeezed out a friendly smile and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

However, his smile, coupled with his figure, always gives people a very strange feeling.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared at him again, frozen at the waist of the monk Standi.

I saw that there were four tokens hanging on the waist of the monk standing on the ground, representing the Black Iron Order on the Yellow List, the Bronze Order on the Xuan List, the Silver Order on the Earth List, and the Golden Token that only warriors on the Heaven List could have.

However, the text printed on the golden token is not the first, but is ranked behind one million, almost at the end of the Tianchang List.

Zhang Ruochen always felt that the monk in front of him was a little weird and said solemnly: "Who are you?"

"My monk's Dharma name is Li Di." Monk Li Di said again.

While speaking, the monk Li Di took out a Buddhist bead from his arms and placed it on a corner of the table.

Just the moment the Buddhist beads fell on the table...

With a loud bang, the Buddhist beads emitted dazzling golden light, and golden Sanskrit flew out of the Buddhist beads and floated in the void.

Suddenly, all the drinkers in the tavern disappeared.

Zhang Ruochen and the monk Lidi were still sitting opposite each other next to the table, as if floating in the center of the world. The whole universe seemed to be the only two of them, and they seemed extremely quiet.

“The realm of sullience!”

Zhang Ruochen was calm and stared at the bald man opposite him who claimed to be a monk and said, "Are you a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas and Taoism?"

The monk Lidi closed his hands and said, "The path of all Buddhas has long been broken, leaving only three major branches, Brahma Tao, Bodhi Temple, and Biology and Death Temple."

Zhang Ruochen said: "What are you?"

"I am a disciple of Brahmadao."

Zhang Ruochen was cautious and said, "As far as I know, eight hundred years ago, the Brahma Tao was the most powerful branch of the Ten Thousand Buddhas. At that time, the Taoist master of the Brahma Tao, with the Dharma name "Morning and Xi", was called the Taoist master of the Buddhist teachings and practiced over ten thousand Buddhas. He was called the first person in Buddhism, and the outside world called him "Buddhist Emperor".

"That's right." Monk Lidi nodded.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Do you know who I am?"

Monk Lidi nodded again and said, "The descendant of the Buddha Emperor, Zhang Ruochen."

Zhang Ruochen said, "So, are you here to find me?"

The monk Lidi said, "I am following the order of the Taoist Lord, and I went down the mountain to invite Mr. Zhang to go to the Brahma Path."

Zhang Ruochen picked up the wine glass, played with it with his fingers on it, and said, "What is your purpose? It's okay to just say it."

The monk Lidi squeezed out a smile again and said straight to the point: "The Taoist Lord said that the relics of the Buddha Emperor are ultimately the holy objects of the Brahma Tao. The Brahma Tao is willing to exchange them with Mr. Zhang with more precious treasures. Of course, Mr. Zhang can also become a monk in the Brahma Tao and become a disciple of the Brahma Tao. Then, the relics of the Buddha Emperor will still be returned to Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Ruochen showed a true expression and said, "If there are two paths, I will not choose?"

The monk Lidi pondered for a moment and said, "Then, I can only follow Mr. Zhang until Mr. Zhang makes a choice."

Zhang Ruochen said, "If I read it correctly, your cultivation level will be great perfection in the realm of the Great Heaven. Are you sure you can keep up with me?"

"Master Zhang, aren't you just a perfect state of the Heavenly Realm?" The monk Lidi smiled honestly.

Zhang Ruochen became a little interested in the monk, smiled and said, "I am the number one in the "Heaven List". Master, are you too confident?"

"The first place in the "Heaven List" may not be invincible in the world." The monk Lidi smiled.

Zhang Ruochen intended to try the strength of this monk, so he mobilized his true energy and used the sixth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the Divine Dragon Tribulation.

A wisp of lightning came out from the center of his palm, and he slapped it out from the air.

However, I don’t know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend yet, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to hurt people, so he only mobilized 10% of his strength.

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm."

The monk straight down smiled and slowly raised his palm.

As his palm lifted, the monk Standai turned red all over his body, like a red-hot human-shaped iron block, like a scorching sun inside his body, emitting a hot light.

"The seventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the Dragon Elephant Divine Furnace."

The monk Lidi slapped out with a palm and fought against Zhang Ruochen's palm print.

With a bang.

Zhang Ruochen's body, along with the bench he sat down, slid backwards by three meters.

The monk Lidi still sat there, motionless, slowly put away his palm, recited a Buddha's name, and said, "Amitabha!"

Zhang Ruochen's right arm drooped down, completely unconscious, and a severe pain came from the position of his shoulder.

In the palm showdown just now, his arm was actually dislocated by the opponent.

You should know that when Zhang Ruochen realized that the opponent's strength was strong, he immediately used all his strength to activate his true energy and exerted ten percent of his strength.

However, when he becomes stronger, the other party becomes stronger.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen's arm was dislocated, but Monk Lidi was not damaged at all. It was obvious that Monk Lidi did not use all his strength just now.

"So awesome!"

Zhang Ruochen endured the pain and took his dislocated arm back on his own. He stared at the monk sitting opposite him, his face remained unchanged, and said, "The power just now is not something that can be possessed by a warrior in the realm of the Heavenly Realm."

The monk Lidi pointed and said, "I have practiced a secret technique called "Rebirth and Transformation". After the death of the Buddha Emperor, he not only left a relic, but also a golden body. That golden body has now been integrated with the monk. Of course, the golden body is just a skin bag, and except for its greater power, it is useless. I just want to tell Mr. Zhang that I am also the descendant of the Buddha Emperor. In other words, we are brothers!"

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "There is heaven beyond the sky, and there is someone beyond the sky. The first place in the "Heaven List" is indeed not necessarily the strongest."

"I have a question. With the strength of the master, since he is already the first in the yellow list, the first in the mysterious list, and the first in the earth list, why not compete for the first in the sky list?"

The monk Lidi shook his head and smiled, "I am still trying to sharpen my mind and fear that I can't stand the temptation."

Zhang Ruochen asked, "What temptation?"

"The temptation of the supreme realm of the heavenly realm."

The monk Lidi said: "Ascending the first place in the Heavenly List, you will have tens of millions of military merits. Going further, you will be the supreme realm. Who doesn't want to reach the supreme realm? I'm a shallow monk and his Buddha's heart is not strong, so I'm afraid he can't withstand such temptation."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Since you want to reach the Supreme Realm, just follow your own wishes. Why should you restrain yourself?"

The monk Lidi closed his eyes and said, "Don't kill, don't kill."

Zhang Ruochen understood!

If you want to reach the supreme state of the Heavenly Realm, you must kill the natives of the Ruins Realm and accumulate military merits.

For Buddhists, killing is a taboo.

Once you break the killing precepts, you may fall into the devil's path.

It is precisely because the temptation of the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Realm is too great that the monk Lidi dared not compete for the first place in the Heavenly List. Because the closer to the Supreme Realm, the greater the temptation.

Of course, even if the monk Lidi really wants to be the first in the Tian List, Zhang Ruochen may not necessarily lose to him.

After all, they only competed with palm power just now, but Zhang Ruochen's strongest is swordsmanship.

Even if the monk Lidi merged with the golden body of the Buddha Emperor and his physical body reached the level of "Vajra Indestructible, Immortal and Immortal", he would definitely have a hidden door and flaws. Zhang Ruochen still had a chance to win.

The monk Lidi put away the Buddhist bead, and suddenly all the Sanskrit words disappeared, and noisy sounds came from around him.

They were still in the tavern and were still sitting in both directions of the table. However, no one noticed that Zhang Ruochen and Monk Lidi had fought once.

The monk Lidi said seriously: "Master Zhang, what are you thinking about? What choice should you make? Should you exchange relics with Brahma Tao, or become a monk in Brahma Tao? If Mr. Zhang chooses the latter, I am willing to regard himself as a junior brother and give up the position of the Buddhist son of Brahma Taoist throne."

Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly.

First, Zhang Ruochen could not exchange relics with Brahmadao, because relics are of great use to him.

If he wants to improve his cultivation quickly and catch up with Chi Yao, he must rely on the power of the relics.

Secondly, it is even more impossible for him to become a monk.
