Chapter 479 Midwifery... Tang Sanzang?
Yang He's expression was strange as he realized that Tang Sanzang's flesh had already developed consciousness and, after dying nine times, was still trying to be reborn.

As the Buddha's light flashed, the monks stopped in their tracks without prior arrangement.

Followed by.

They all looked in unison toward the Sutra Repository where Yang He was, their expressions and movements identical.

Standing at the window, Yang He could see the resentment in the monks' brows, which was not directed at him, but at the immortals and Buddhas in Chang'an.

"He is very intelligent."

"But... just what kind of indescribable being is Tang Sanzang?"

Yang He felt that Tang Seng could feel the pain of being devoured by corpses and that he would experience endless torment every day.

Even if he came back to life, Tang Sanzang would most likely be a madman.

Yang He squinted, and then the Buddha's light vanished in an instant. The monk returned to normal and began to busy himself again, as if nothing had happened.

"Tang Sanzang seems to be... intentionally exposing himself in front of me."

As he looked at the bustling temple, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Lü Dongbin had never read the original Journey to the West, so how was he able to find Hongfu Temple and discover the stories recorded in the scriptures in such a short time?

Everything seemed too coincidental. Rather than a matter of chance, Yang He preferred to believe that Tang Sanzang was intentionally guiding Lü Dongbin into the temple.

Yang He thought about it carefully and realized that among all the immortals and Buddhas, he was the only one who had never eaten Tang Sanzang's flesh.

"hehe."

"I'm getting more and more involved with the four pilgrims on their journey to the West. I just took Sun Wukong as my disciple, am I going to have to be Tang Sanzang's midwife?"

Yang He hesitated for a few moments, then realized that it was impossible to stay out of it.

Since petty squabbles aren't his style, then let's go all out!
Yang He wanted to see what kind of monster Tang Sanzang, the great medicine of immortals and Buddhas, would give birth to. If all else failed, he would create a permanent character after completing the story.

"Tang Sanzang was involved in Shakyamuni's schemes, and all the mortals of later generations have become his flesh. Could it be that the situation completely spiraled out of control because of the repeated conception of flesh and blood?"

Yang He also remembered that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had mentioned that as time went by, the drawbacks of Tang Sanzang's flesh became more and more obvious, and even immortals and Buddhas would become addicted.

He carefully scanned all the monks, whose emanating Buddhist light was faintly visible, but it had clearly been going on for several days, though it was difficult to notice before.

"Well."

Yang He opened his fiery eyes and saw a hunchbacked old man standing in front of Hongfu Temple.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, and his swollen forehead looked as if it had a tumor.

"Elder Brother Antarctic Immortal did not choose to be included in the list of gods during the Investiture of the Gods, but unexpectedly he still chose to ascend to the Heavenly Court and become an immortal of longevity."

It seems that the Immortal of Longevity had anticipated this, arriving at Hongfu Temple a step ahead of the other immortals and gods.

He witnessed the Buddha's light with his own eyes, and the greed on his face could not be suppressed.

However, the Immortal of Longevity did not set foot in Hongfu Temple, perhaps because the tenth reincarnation of Tang Sanzang had not yet been born, or perhaps the immortals and Buddhas had reached a consensus.

Yang He was very wary of the Immortal of Longevity. During the Investiture of the Gods, the Antarctic Immortal was a cunning old fox who had coveted him more than once.

Immediately, the spiritual vision increased even more significantly. This was not due to Tang Sanzang's difficult childbirth, but rather because immortals and Buddhas were descending into the incarnations of various beings throughout the city, each preparing to welcome Tang Sanzang's birth.

"The main target of the immortals and Buddhas is indeed Tang Sanzang, hehe."

"It's definitely not going to end well if it falls into their hands."

Yang He returned to the Sutra Repository and took Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva into the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Daoist Temple.

He originally planned to impersonate Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and wait until the key point of the story before speaking, but now it seems that the plan has changed.

Yang He instilled the precautions into Lü Dongbin's mind, instructing the latter not to leave the area of ​​the Sutra Pavilion, and that the struggle between immortals and Buddhas for Tang Sanzang was not something that true immortals could interfere with.

"That kid Lü Dongbin is really lucky."

"Hell Path forced me to become an immortal before I could even experience the demonic possession. Now I just need to stabilize my cultivation. I've gained a True Immortal Realm for free."

Of course, it's not without its drawbacks. The causal link has been severed, but Jiang Qi's essence has become that of Lü Dongbin reincarnated, and Yang He can easily control life and death by refining the corpses of the Eight Immortals.

He still needs a long period of seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.

After finishing his work, Yang He skillfully faked his death and returned to the main world.

Your character, Lü Dongbin, has died; the story has ended.

.........

Whether or not you inherit the blessings of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you will receive the following benefits.

The Ten Evil Deeds and Their Retribution

The Ten Evil Deeds of the Asura Realm

The Ten Evil Deeds in Human Rebirth

[The Ten Evil Deeds Lead to Rebirth in the Animal Realm]

The Ten Evil Deeds and the Hungry Ghost Realm

The corpses of the Eight Immortals

【Yindu】

Yang He smiled, thinking that Shakyamuni was indeed the one who knew how to care for people.

Opportunities come in waves.

This indirectly illustrates the wealth of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Taoism's wealth accumulation cannot compare to that of Buddhism. Furthermore, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has exclusive control over the Pure Land.

Yang He glanced over the first five gains, all of which were the immortal bodies of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

To be precise, Buddhism refers to the immortal body as the root of wisdom.

The five roots of wisdom, plus the ten evil deeds of hell that were exchanged at the beginning, constitute the supreme roots of wisdom known as the six realms of reincarnation. However, because the hell realm is lacking, the five roots of wisdom cannot be integrated into one.

The effects of wisdom are largely the same; they all cause the intestines and stomach to become the Nine Turns of the Yellow Springs.

However, the types of evil spirits they target are different. If they are merged into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Yang He's Nine Turns Yellow Springs will be equivalent to a small underworld, and the associated Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field will definitely be able to create new fortune.

"It's a pity that the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is too dangerous, and it's almost impossible to survive if the true form descends."

Let's talk about it after we finish the story.

As Yang He exchanged his wisdom roots, he experienced severe abdominal cramps. His intestines were split into six streams, with their origins and ends connected to the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field. However, the Six Paths of Reincarnation were not a unified whole.

He shook his head slightly, finding it hard to imagine how much Ghost True Monarch's strength would advance after the Six Paths of Reincarnation merged into the Ghost Immortal's body.

"The improvement in strength is not significant, after all, I have no intention of cultivating the Hell Path."

The corpses of the Eight Immortals

[The eight corpses destined to become immortals, even though their souls have dissipated, still retain resentment within their bodies, and thus are destined to remain forever trapped in their cycle of resentment, unable to achieve immortality.]

"This thing isn't very useful; I'm really not good at crafting puppets."

"Forget it, let's just fill it into the grave mound at the dojo. The resentment it emits should increase production. Let's just make use of it."

Just as Yang Hegang was about to take the temple in, a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel.

[Would you like to consume 1 points of Spirit Vision to integrate the corpse of Lü Dongbin into the Divine Being God?]

"What the hell?"

[The story of "God begets God" currently has 0 celestial ranks that can be conferred.]

Yang He looked very interested. The story of gods begetting gods is related to the Investiture of the Gods. He had previously guessed that the Investiture of the Gods could be restarted, and he did not expect that it was indeed true.

"It seems I'm still too kind. If I had killed more immortals and gods, they would have found out long ago."

"determine."

The bodies of the seven immortals have disappeared.

Yang He took out the Investiture of the Gods. After three thousand years, the Investiture of the Gods once again emitted bursts of spiritual light, and the names of the Seven Immortals appeared on its surface.

[The story of "God begets God" currently has 7 celestial ranks that can be conferred.]

"Perfect, let's use this historical allusion to teach those blind immortals and Buddhas a lesson."

Yang He licked his lips, his gaze falling on his disciples who were in seclusion. The mortal realm couldn't possibly fight against the deep hell on its own, so the Investiture of the Gods had to be restarted. Even if it couldn't be as large as Jiang Ziya's attempt, it should still have at least a hundred or so celestial officials.

When the deepest hell descended to the mortal realm, Yang He was very curious about what the ghosts and gods would look like when they saw that the people coming towards them were genuine immortals and gods.

"In that case, let the main world continue to focus on cultivation."

"Otherwise, there are positions available, but few people at the job fair meet the requirements."

Yang He connected with the Myriad Transformations Tree, and its roots continued to penetrate deep into the endless hell, making the yin energy in the mortal world increasingly dense, especially in densely populated towns.

He observed for more than half a month the flourishing development of the main world.

The mortal possesses Yang He's immortal body and is born with the belief that the Tree of Myriad Transformations is the Way of Heaven. Unconsciously, he will engage in contemplation and comprehend various schools of thought.

Yang He's understanding of the Great Dao spread subtly and gradually.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he had already seen quite a few cultivators with the protagonist template.

As Yang He pondered how to help more cultivators improve their strength, he glanced at the last acquisition, which was the accumulation of the people's hard-earned wealth from the underworld over a thousand years, as mentioned by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

【Yindu】

Originally an abandoned sacred site of the Ten Kings of Hell, it was refined by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and transformed into a supreme treasure for future generations.

Yang He communicated with Yindu, and immediately a small world, a quarter the size of the Wanhua Heavenly Dao Field, came into view. It was desolate and contained a large number of abandoned underworld buildings.

The building is eroded by the aura of the past, its surface covered with dense black spots.

The resources collected by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were piled up in a corner, so numerous that they resembled mountains, and Yang He was overwhelmed by the various kinds of yin objects.

"It doesn't have the innate treasure mentioned by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"When you're sleepy, a pillow comes to you."

Yang He activated the Five-Colored Divine Light to envelop Yin Du, gradually eroding the twenty-three acquired treasure restrictions, and throwing all the resources into the Daoist temple.

He was too lazy to distinguish between them, and only kept the Yin objects above the True Immortal Realm.

The remaining Yin entities are sent to the mortal realm in all directions through the roots of the Myriad Transformations Tree. Even if some evil spirits are generated, it doesn't matter. The main purpose is to provide more opportunities for cultivators to support their cultivation.

Yang He did not seek for every cultivator in the main world to become an immortal and attain enlightenment.

As long as there are enough people to inherit the celestial office, that's sufficient.

Snapped.

As the treasures disappeared one after another, signs of collapse began to appear in Yindu.

Yang He remained calm and composed, and the five-colored divine light intensified, enveloping the entire summit of Qianyuan Mountain in dazzling light.

Rumble.

The desolate little world shook violently, and the soil collapsed.

Yang He saw a magnificent ghost city emerging from the ground.

The city walls are towering, but they are not made of bricks and stones. Instead, they are made of countless bones. It would take at least several hundred years of corpses in the mortal world to build the capital of Yin. There are countless pavilions and towers inside the city.

A chilling wind howled, and the once magnificent celestial palace of the Ten Kings of Hell was now faintly visible.

There is also a deep and boundless ravine running through the capital of Yin, which is probably a tributary of the Yellow Springs, and its riverbed is covered with countless white bones.

Yang He suspected that the aura of the Ruins of Return had eroded the Yellow Springs, leading to the fall of Yindu.

"go."

Yindu slowly rose and then disappeared into the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field.

What Yang He lacks is the Celestial Court of the Cave Heaven. Yindu is absolutely comparable to the Ten Absolute Cities, but the damage is too severe and it will take some time to repair.

He stabilized Yindu to prevent it from collapsing and looked up at the sky.

He then took a step and arrived directly at the shallow hell where the God of Literature resides.

Grandpa Bigan was still in good health, but his entire body was covered with the roots of the Myriad Transformation Tree, which, after a long period of refinement, had become connected with the Daoist temple.

"Let's just take the remains of the God of Literature's temple as well."

Yang He gazed at Wenqu Xingjun, and then the roots of the Wanhua Tree began to shrink, causing Bi Gan's flesh and blood to collapse.

Bang bang bang.

His previous guess was correct: the ghosts and gods that make up the mortal world in the main world are all transformed from the immortal and Buddhist temples abandoned in the Ruins of Return.

It can naturally be refined into a celestial palace.

The God of Literature's ribs were broken, and in his empty chest was a giant heart buried deep in his spine.

The heart, a full hundred meters long, still radiates yang energy even after it has stopped beating.

Yang He slowed down, fearing that the collapse of Wenqu Xingjun would affect the main world. Fortunately, only the Yin energy content of the shallow hell was reduced.

The giant heart followed Yin Du into the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Arena.

[Wenqu Heart Chamber]

[Originally, it was the Daoist temple created by the God of Literature after he became an immortal. After being separated from the site, it fell into the Void and, after a thousand years, formed a corpse.]

The God of Literature did not immediately vanish into nothingness, but his flesh and blood had begun to rot, and it would take at least several decades for him to completely decay.

"It's a waste; it's better to use it as fertilizer."

Yang He gestured for more roots to pierce into the body of Wenqu Xingjun, and the edge of the Wanhua Tiandao Field expanded again, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao were perfected.

He didn't conceal his aura in any of his movements.

The royal family had just moved away from Wenquxingjun and, seeing this, completely abandoned their petty schemes. Even though Wang Lan was in seclusion on Qianyuan Mountain, the chaos within the court was quelled in just a few days.

Yang He returned to Qianyuan Mountain and summoned the control panel again.

[Vulgarity: Born a Monk]

[Related Allusion: "The Holy Demon Monk" - Consume 1 Spirit Vision to enter the allusion world?]

"confirm."

Yang He glanced at the permanent characters and suddenly noticed that the Immaculate Buddha could be played. In this way, there would be no more restrictions on any of the permanent characters.

[Namo Immaculate Ancient Buddha: Even though you are sealed in the Vulture Peak, you can still keep an eye on the temples in the mortal realm that worship you. Even Chang'an has your incense offerings. Now, taking advantage of the large number of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas going to the mortal realm, you can briefly descend to the mortal realm.]

"It means that the birth of Tang Sanzang has already alarmed the entire Paradise."

"Not only the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but the Heavenly Court also has no intention of missing out."

"The stage is very big."

Yang He noticed that several talismans belonging to acquaintances were shimmering with a faint light, indicating that they would also be involved in Tang Sanzang's birth, and it was even possible that all eight of them would descend to the mortal realm.

These include Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

That's right, Bixiao, the Buddha of Pure Light, will also appear in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and it's even possible that one or two of the Seven Sages of Buddhism will appear.

"Damn it, this is getting out of hand. Being a midwife isn't easy."

"Afraid of anything!!!"

Yang He did not play a permanent role, but instead spent his spiritual vision to refresh the ordinary role.

He still needed to confirm one thing: whether Tang Sanzang was really asking for his help. Only by figuring out Tang Sanzang's position was it worth the risk.

After the third refresh, a monk character from Hongfu Temple finally appeared.

[Novices (Green): Hongfu Temple is always bustling with worshippers. Although you are only an uninitiated disciple in the incense-making hall, you have already used the money you earn to buy land and get married.]

"What Hongfu Temple? They're all hypocrites, all putting on a show of righteousness."

Yang He carried nothing with him, and even the Fiery Eyes of Truth chose to give up.

If the speculation is true, I should return to the main world soon and then plan how to deliver this precious baby.

"Hehe, wouldn't Tang Sanzang have to call me 'old man'?"
