Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 1170 - 677_2
Chapter 1170 -677_2
The most fatal aspect is that once this Demon Cultivation Method is practiced, it appears supremely sacred outwardly, with the Buddha’s light shining all around, as if a Buddha’s head has descended upon the world. However, internally, demonic energy surges, like an abyss or a hell, resembling the boundless calamity of the Nine Nether Demons.
Additionally, Luo Hou has also placed a seal on him, and unless Taoist Ancestor Hongjun is present in person, even a Saint would find it difficult to see through He Bai’s true nature.
At this moment, due to his Buddha Nature and a pure Buddha Power Cultivation Level comparable to that of an Arhat, He Bai has already been guided into the Da Leiyin Temple by people of the Buddhist Sect, and he has been awarded the title of Arhat.
He has truly infiltrated the enemy’s ranks and become a high-level infiltrator. If he takes another step further, he might even achieve the status of a Bodhisattva in a certain realm.
If with the help of figures like Luo Hou, Tongtian, and Houtu, he might even become a Buddha of a certain realm, perhaps through some calculations, replace the Tathagata Buddha, become the head of the Buddhist Sect, which is also not impossible.
By then, a real infiltrator has become the boss!
It must be known that Tongtian has quite a resentment against Buddhism, not to mention the actions of the Two Western Saints during the Sealing God War. Just the many followers of the Jie Sect being forcibly transcended has left Tongtian bitterly resentful.
Not to mention, there is one person that makes Tongtian feel like directly strangling him, the Long-eared Light-fixing Immortal, who is now the Joyful Buddha!
The Golden Crow sinks in the west, stars twinkle in the sky.
Within the Chen Mansion of the Great Qin Empire,
Chen Sanzang and his wives and concubines are holding a bonfire feast in the eternally spring-like Peach Forest. Suddenly, the scene shifts, and they find themselves in mid-air.
The surrounding area is filled with floating white clouds; where is the night sky?
Not far above his head, a lotus platform exuding golden Buddhist light sits, and on it is a Bodhisattva holding a Jade Purifying Bottle, radiating solemnity while a Merit Golden Wheel emits a faint light.
Who else could it be but the former Chan Jiao Ci Dao Ren, now the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva?
“Amitabha Buddha, the humble monk greets the Bodhisattva. Might I ask what brings the Bodhisattva’s illustrious presence to this humble abode in search of Sanzang?”
Chen Sanzang offered a Buddhist salute. After all, they are both Immortals and Buddhas, with just a difference in strength, so he didn’t bother with pleasantries but asked directly.
Upon arriving at the Great Qin Empire, Guanyin also felt the suppression from the Nine Provinces Barrier. However, with her strength at the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak, even with some cultivation being suppressed, she can still easily conquer beings below the Taiyi level.
“Chen Sanzang, in your previous life you were the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, bearing the Buddha Sect’s Heavenly Destiny, the one who should meet this calamity in this era. I seek you now because the great calamity of the Westward Journey has begun, and you must venture westward to face the tribulation and acquire the Mahayana Buddhism for the eastward journey, blessing all living beings.”
Opening with Heavenly Destiny and closing with facing calamity, urging him to travel westward and return to enlighten all beings.
If Chen Sanzang didn’t completely understand what was happening, he might have believed it, like Tang Sanzang in the original “Journey to the West”.
After all, Tang Sanzang in the original book was truly devoted to Buddhism, with a heart full of saintly intent to enlighten all beings.
But Chen Sanzang is not like that!
He is simply a transmigrator who used a system to take over Tang Sanzang, only to discover that a Six-winged Golden Cicada, such a ferocious spirit, lay dormant within him.
Now he has relied on the Old Xi to enhance his own strength while secretly converting the power of the Golden Cicada for his own use.
If he were truly naive and got tricked into going on a Westward Journey for scriptures, wouldn’t he just end up being a stepping stone for the Golden Cicada!
So…
“Bodhisattva, the humble monk has a heart for the Buddha, but now having a large family, with wives and concubines about to give birth and newborns crying, I truly cannot leave at this time. Is it possible to find someone else to accompany the monk to the Western Heaven to seek the True Scripture?”
Chen Sanzang had no real hopes and just wanted to test the waters.
“Sanzang, you were the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, a true disciple under the Tathagata Buddha at the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple. This reincarnation in the Lower Realm is for the calamity of Buddhism’s eastward journey. This is a grand plan concerning the heaven and earth and all beings, how can it be ignored for the sake of a small family?”
Guanyin had, of course, investigated Chen Sanzang’s situation upon arriving.
He never expected, that in such a short time without checking, Chen Sanzang had converted to the Joyful Buddha, and transformed from a mere mortal to an Immortal!
Knowing things were somewhat out of control, Guanyin came early and used the method of dreaming to drag Chen Sanzang into this Dream Space, attempting to stir his Buddha heart and make him comply with the grand movements of heaven and earth.
However, Guanyin could never have expected that someone would have taken over Chen Sanzang, and even suppress the spirit of Golden Cicada.
It must be known that the Golden Cicada is a Daluo Strong Person, attempting to take over a Daluo, even a Saint wouldn’t be completely confident!
“Bodhisattva, if one cannot take care of the small family, how can one look after the larger family? Though the humble monk has a Buddha heart, he is still attached to the mortal world. I beg for the Bodhisattva’s mercy!”
Chen Sanzang continued to test the limits on the edge of danger.
Fortunately, Guanyin did not overthink and believed that the tenth reincarnation body of Golden Cicada might have been tested by the Heavenly Dao due to his role as the one who should meet the calamity, hence his Buddha heart was clouded, leading to the current state.
However, Buddhism naturally has a set method for dealing with such cases, which is transcendence!
Guanyin rarely continued to entangle with Chen Sanzang, so she started chanting the Great Compassionate Mantra, with layers of Duhua Burning Sound interspersed, attempting to forcibly awaken Chen Sanzang’s Buddha heart.
“Damn! Guanyin doesn’t speak of martial ethics! Directly bullying the small with the big, Old Xi, save me! I don’t want to be forcibly transcended!”
The moment the Duhua Burning Sound rang, Chen Sanzang immediately felt his Spirit becoming shaky, and deep in his heart, he had an intense feeling of gratitude that made him want to kneel at her feet.
So, how could he not understand what Guanyin wanted to do?
He almost forcefully withstood the Duhua Burning Sound, desperately shouting in his heart for the system to save him.
“Brother Zang, why do you have to go courting death like this? Just agree to go West and fetch scriptures, then delay it over time. After all, the journey is one that you have to walk step by step slowly, isn’t it?”
Old Xi was also speechless for a moment, feeling that Brother Zang had gained some strength and started to float a bit, daring to crazily test the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
The fact is she is a legit Daluo Golden Immortal, formerly one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Honghuang Chan Sect, with undoubtedly deep roots and is a top figure among Daluo Golden Immortals in terms of strength.
“Old Xi, stop with the sarcastic remarks, get over here and save me. I don’t want to be transcended and then become a puppet, just to work for the Buddhist Sect.”
Is it uncomfortable to have wives and concubines in your arms?
Is the joy of family life not appealing?
Going to the Buddhist Sect to become a high-ranking member with no real power, while also risking being counterattacked by Golden Cicada to death, does Chen Sanzang have a screw loose for willingly fetching scriptures?
It’s just that he doesn’t possess the strength of Guanyin Bodhisattva, otherwise, he would surely transcend her, and then inherit her strength!
The idea might be beautiful, but Old Xi told him that even after worshipping, reality is quite grim.
“Don’t overthink, accept being transcended, and once he leaves, I can immediately restore you to your original state.”
Backed by support from higher-ups, the mere methods of a Daluo Golden Immortal are not insurmountable for Old Xi.
“You should have said this earlier, and it would’ve been over already!” novelbuddy-cσ๓
Having heard the system’s assurance, Chen Sanzang immediately gave up resistance and obediently knelt beneath the skirts of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Well, he was also curious about whether the original Ci Hang Daoist, who was a male, had transitioned to female after entering Buddhism. He wanted to know if the present Guanyin is male, female, or perhaps both?
“Amitabha Buddha, many thanks to the Bodhisattva for transcending and helping the humble monk cleanse his mind, cutting through the mortal world’s delusions.”
Chen Sanzang solemnly offered a Buddhist salute, bowing before Guanyin Bodhisattva, his body radiating Buddha’s light, as if covered in a layer of golden sheen.
“Sanzang, you are burdened with a Heavenly Destiny, now that the mortal world’s tribulation is resolved, you should understand the cause and effect of the mortal world and journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the True Scripture, benefiting all beings under heaven.
However, currently, your strength is still weak, and there may be danger on the journey westward. The Tathagata Buddha has specially bestowed upon you several protective Buddha Treasures to ensure your safety.”
As Guanyin Bodhisattva turned over the Jade Purifying Bottle in her hand, three Buddha Treasures flew out; what else could they be but the Brocade Kasaya, Nine Ringed Staff, and Purple Gold Bowl?
“Thank you Buddha for bestowing upon this monk the Buddha Treasures, once the humble monk has resolved worldly matters and made some preparations, I shall embark westward to the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple to seek the True Scripture!”
Holding the three Buddha Treasures, Chen Sanzang faithfully knelt down, and upon lifting his head again, where was Guanyin Bodhisattva anymore?
