The Divine Urban Physician

”Foolish, utterly foolish. Do you presume to know what he thinks in his heart?”

Ye Chen angrily rebuked. Aside from their cultivation practices, there is no difference between Buddha and demons.

The true difference lies in the heart!

If a demon harbored benevolence for the world, he could still be a good man.

Would a Buddha who slaughters martial artists or mortals for his own desires also be a good man?

The essence of a person lies in the heart!

This was what the Demon Emperor had subtly conveyed to Ye Chen!

And this was the foundation of Ye Chen’s Dao heart!

Ye Chen relayed these words to the shadowy figure of the Buddha, who suddenly fell silent!

These words left them bewildered. Every Buddha in front of him was a venerable high monk revered by the world, but in that moment, they suddenly thought of someone.

The Demon Emperor.

When the Demon Emperor had once united with the Buddhas to suppress evil spirits, was he really the demon everyone thought him to be?

No.

They had practiced their faith their whole lives, only to discover flaws in their beliefs!

Suddenly, a shadowy figure of a Buddha seemed to have an epiphany, sighing deeply.

He had once destroyed a member of the demon race, only to see that same demon save a young girl, yet he still eliminated him.

Because a demon is a demon!

He believed demons represented evil!

”What is a demon, and what is a Buddha?”

The Buddha burst out laughing, then the sariras exploded violently!

Having cultivated for a lifetime only to realize he was on the wrong path, his sariras did not deserve to exist in this world.

Nor did it deserve the reverence of monks!

Thus, he chose to self-destruct his sariras. Ye Chen, watching the vanishing shadowy figure of the Buddha, could only helplessly shake his head!

The other Buddhas, looking at Ye Chen’s figure, realized they, who had practiced Buddhism their entire lives, were inferior to a martial artist at the Star Aperture realm, and they burst into sudden laughter.

”Benefactor, it seems we were indeed wrong. This Daoist Treasure Jade Lotus, we no longer deserve to possess it.”

One of the shadowy figures of the Buddhas pointed towards a corner of the secret chamber, where a blooming lotus fell at Ye Chen’s feet.

Ye Chen hadn’t expected that a mere argument would garner him such benefits.

Ye Chen’s eyes turned to the other Buddhas, the implication clear. Since they had fallen and couldn’t use the good items, they might as well all be entrusted to him.

The other Buddhas, seeing Ye Chen’s demeanor, couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

A moment ago, Ye Chen seemed just like a venerable high monk; now, he appeared more like a greedy little ghost.

Another remaining Buddha pointed, and a stream of light entered Ye Chen’s body.

Ye Chen felt pure energy flowing into his organs, and not only that, but the insights of these Buddhas from when they were alive also appeared in his mind.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chen had no time to think further; he needed to start refining the energy right away.

...

Outside, the Abbot, feeling a sarira explode, was completely enraged.

If it were just a simple explosion of a sarira, it wouldn’t have infuriated him so.

The main reason was the disappearance of the aura of the Daoist Treasure Jade Lotus.

This was a treasure of Buddhism, always kept within the Buddha Cave.

Now, with only Ye Chen inside the Buddha Cave, there was no need to guess who was responsible.

”Bring me Ye Chen’s friends, and Jie Kong. Arrest them all!”
