I logged into Mr. Zombie

[Under Qiao Ling'er's tutelage, you attempted to learn the "Mahavairocana Sutra"]

You are naturally more adept at Buddhist practices.

You felt somewhat discouraged because you failed to grasp the technique.

【…】

Tan Wenjie thought for a moment, then took out all the relics he had found and placed them beside him. Although these items were marked as plot mission items, the Buddha light contained within them was genuine.

Clusters of golden lotuses bloomed around him, intertwining to form a giant lotus platform that lifted Tan Wenjie up.

Under Qiao Ling'er's careful guidance, you easily mastered the "Mahavairocana Sutra".

Mahavairocana Sutra lv1 (1/810): Let go of attachments, diligently cultivate morality, concentration and wisdom, extinguish greed, anger and ignorance, life +81, mana +81, stamina +81; Mahavairocana Dharma Image (condenses a non-attribute Dharma Image, attack power x2, lasts 8 seconds), consumes 100% mana.

Tan Wenjie didn't say anything, he just kept pouring experience points into it.

Upgrade to level 2, then level 3, then level 4, and level 5!

I got stuck when trying to upgrade to level 5.

[Checking your Buddhist Dharma level. Title detected: "Subduing Demon Arhat, Mighty Spiritual Venerable". Your Buddhist Dharma attainment is satisfactory. Congratulations on your level increase.]

He poured almost all the experience he had accumulated in dozens of [Secret Realm] worlds into it just to barely raise the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" to level 5.

Mahavairocana Sutra lv5 (5314410/5314410): Let go of attachments, diligently cultivate morality, concentration and wisdom, extinguish greed, anger and ignorance, life +531441, mana +531441, stamina +531441; Mahavairocana Dharma Image (condenses a non-attribute Dharma Image, attack power x6, lasts 40 seconds), consumes 60% mana.

There are 5 levels, and each upgrade of the "Mahavairocana Sutra" increases the total attribute points by 597861.

This is followed by a rapid increase in attributes.

With all three attributes exceeding one million, he truly became a numerical warrior. Back when he borrowed the power of the Bodhisattva, he had a full one million.

After a thousand years, we have finally reached a level that once seemed unattainable.

Life: 1156440/1156440
Mana: 1153916/1153916
Physical strength: 1150179/1150179
For example, Demon Lord Tan Wenjie brought armor value, which was also increased to: 578220.
Doubling his base attributes means his actual combat power has increased several times over.

Your understanding of Buddhist teachings is insufficient; your skill level upgrade has failed. Please try again later.

Tan Wenjie remained calm when he was stuck at the next level. He knew that to continue leveling up, he needed not only more experience but also a higher professional title in Lingshan.

As long as you can keep scrolling up, it's not a problem.

On the other side, Nezha had briefly finished telling Sun Wukong everything that had happened during this time and returned to Tan Wenjie's side.

The monkey with facial paralysis asked, "Master Tan, what else do you know?"

"I accidentally obtained the unorthodox Arhat status, but I am not a monk, and I have many wives."

Who says that understanding Buddhism means becoming a monk?

Everyone: "..."

"I know there are seventeen relics in total. Whoever obtains these relics will be the one to achieve final victory."

"Where do you find relics, and how many have you found?"

"We've almost found them all. We're still missing the Dipankara Buddha Temple and Mengjie, among other places." Tan Wenjie took it all on. "Leave them to me. I know their exact locations. You all have more important work to do."

"You mean, protect Ling'er?"

“That’s right, he absolutely cannot fall into Wutian’s hands.”

Even if it really falls into Wutian's hands, it won't matter much. As long as the seventeen relics are gathered, whether the Buddha reincarnated or not, the outcome will be the same.

"And there's the matter of saving the gods," Nezha added. "Wutian's army is now strong and well-equipped; we alone are probably no match for them."

Sun Wukong was intrigued. He thought of his master and fellow disciples. The Pigsy here was an imposter; the real one had probably already been captured.

Even after becoming the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong remained impatient and couldn't wait a moment.

Tan Wenjie turned around and transformed into a six-eared macaque: "Let's split up and meet again after we've finished our respective tasks."

As for who should win and who should lose, it's hard to say.

"it is good!"

"Then let's meet again at the immortal abode of Emperor Donghua."

Time was of the essence, and everything was agreed upon in just a few words.

"Brother Jie, you must be careful on the road," Qiao Ling'er said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm a god." Tan Wenjie also advised, "Don't chase after girls too much."

"Huh?" Qiao Ling'er waved her hand. "Brother Jie, you're overthinking it. I...it's impossible, I..."

His cheeks flushed slightly; he couldn't bear Tan Wenjie's slander.

Even Sun Wukong couldn't help but speak up in defense: "How could a reincarnation of Buddha be moved by the seven emotions and six desires?"

This time, Qiao Ling'er was too embarrassed to nod.

He admitted that he was somewhat tempted.

Nezha and Sun Wukong: "..."

Seriously? Just be straightforward.

The two exchanged a glance, as if to say: Could it be that we've found the wrong person? This guy isn't the reincarnation of Buddha at all.

The arrangements for Qiao Family Village were left to Sun Wukong and Nezha to handle. Tan Wenjie dragged the corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque and rode away on a cloud.

The corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque had only one destination: he threw it into the lotus tree as consumable material. He didn't know how effective it would be to use it directly without first refining it into a zombie.

It remains to be seen what can be created by combining the Six-Eared Macaque with Elite Soul Essence. After all, the hero unit created by combining General Zod with Elite Soul Essence and the Golden Crow Sun Wheel has yet to produce anything.

With time running out and the task heavy, Tan Wenjie conjured a black mask to cover his face, transforming himself into the Black Lotus Messenger.

What others didn't know, he was very clear that the Six-Eared Macaque was the Black Lotus Messenger.

He found the black lotus on the corpse.

As soon as it was taken out, the black lotus began to rotate automatically.

Wutian's figure appeared in the black light emanating from the black lotus.

"Buddha." Tan Wenjie quickly got into character. His acting skills were second nature.

"You weren't with Sun Wukong?"

"Sun Wukong has found the reincarnation of Buddha named Qiao Ling'er, and my identity has been exposed, so I have to leave temporarily."

"Hmm?" Wu Tian's expression was unreadable.

"Please forgive me, Buddha."

"It's alright. You have found the reincarnation of Buddha. You've done well."

Hearing with his own ears that Wutian had pardoned the Black Lotus Messenger, Tan Wenjie couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Wutian is truly a good boss."

Wu Tian asked, "Did you find out anything else?"

"It is said that there are seventeen relics that can help the Buddha reincarnate and defeat you, Buddha."

Where are the relics?

"Neither Black Lotus nor Sun Wukong knows; further investigation is needed."

He was telling the truth. Neither Sun Wukong nor Liu Er knew, but Tan Wenjie did.

"Um……"

Wutian remained silent and pondered for a long time.

He had three generals under his command: the snake spirit in black robes, the scorpion spirit giant scorpion, and the black lotus envoy, the six-eared macaque.

Black Robe has never accomplished anything since following Wutian. Although Giant Scorpion is intelligent, he often listens to Black Robe; he has brains but not much.

The only one who could accomplish something was the Six-Eared Macaque, and since it concerned the relics, Wutian had no other choice.

The mighty demon king Wutian Buddha, who controls the three realms, could only resort to elimination when it came to appointing talent, eliminating the two worst ones and leaving only the barely usable one.

"I'm leaving this to you."

"Yes." Tan Wenjie nodded, and as he expected, he immediately followed up, "I would also like to return to Mount Ling to investigate the caves of those Buddhas."

"Either is acceptable."

The call ended, and Wutian disappeared.

Tan Wenjie held the black lotus that could prove his identity, and since the Six-Eared Macaque was dead, he was now the real Six-Eared Macaque.

Relics from places like Lingshan and Mengjie can also be easily obtained.

There is still one place in the mortal realm that he has not yet retrieved, a place called Shuangta Temple, where the relics are the two pagodas.

He arrived at a nearby town just before dawn and easily took the relics before the people noticed.

As they turned and flew towards Mount Ling, they passed through a place where malevolent energy soared into the sky and yin energy gathered, resembling a ghost realm.

The bright sunshine could not penetrate the ghostly fog.

Going to Mount Ling wouldn't make a difference of a day or two; for immortals, it would be just a matter of yawning. But if he saw this ghostly realm and ignored it, countless people would die and countless peerless ferocious ghosts would be cultivated during the round trip to Mount Ling.

Tan Wenjie returned to his original state after landing.

He used fake identities too much. When he used his real face, even Nezha thought he was using a fake identity.

The group consisted mostly of men, their faces beaming with joy.

"Hey buddy, could you tell me what's going on here? Who are they all gathered around looking at?"

The man being held back by Tan Wenjie had an unfriendly expression.

Upon seeing the silver ingot presented to him, the man immediately forced a smile.

"It's Miss Chen from the wealthy family looking for a man. Her name is Wu Zhen. She's beautiful and charming and is looking for a husband to marry into her family. If you're chosen by her, you'll not only win the heart of a beauty, but you'll also inherit the Chen family's fortune."

"I'm an expert at living off women." Tan Wenjie straightened his collar and strode inside.

"Hey hey hey!" The man reached out to grab Tan Wenjie, but found that his clothes were slippery and he couldn't hold on to them at all. He could only watch helplessly as Tan Wenjie walked towards Chen Wuzhen.

He gritted his teeth: "I should have known better than to talk to that kid. He's handsome, he's bound to get noticed."

Although I know I have no chance of getting close to her, seeing others get both money and sex is more painful than losing money and being cuckolded myself.

Sure enough, as soon as Tan Wenjie walked over and said nothing, Miss Chen Wuzhen's eyes lit up, and she no longer looked at anyone else.

The other oddballs could only pick their noses in dissatisfaction.

She doesn't even look down on a promising young man like herself, yet she's taken a fancy to a pretty boy. Miss Chen's taste is really nothing special.

"Damn it, who flicked that booger! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"What? It's boogers! Ugh, I thought it was raining raisins."

"..."

The arguments of others had no effect on Tan Wenjie and Chen Wuzhen; when they saw each other, it was as if they had seen their prey.

Chen Wuzhen: Smells good and is pretty.

Tan Wenjie: A demonic ghost, quite handsome, and someone I know.

It'll definitely taste delicious! X2
Chen Wuzhen asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, "How should I address this young master?"

"His surname is Tan, and he is from Qiaojiazhuang."

"Young Master Tan~"

"I'll be frank with you." Tan Wenjie looked at Xie Dajiao's young and beautiful face. "I'm here to marry into your family. You'd better give me enough money and enough pomp and circumstance, otherwise I won't agree to it. If you can't afford the money, don't even think about taking my pants off."

The numerous "young talents" who were arguing on the periphery suddenly stopped and turned to look at Tan Wenjie.

This person is truly shameless and speaks so bluntly; Miss Chen will absolutely not agree to it.

Chen Wuzhen nodded decisively: "Okay!"

Meat delivered to your door, why not take it?

Everyone: "..." (End of this chapter)
