Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1752 Tang Sanzang and his disciples enter the second half of the Grand Line

Although the Blood Demon God had been entrenched in the prehistoric world for hundreds of millions of years, his awakening this time was also due to the power of the prehistoric world itself. It was the countless living beings who used their lives to help him accumulate his origin bit by bit. According to the calculation that he hid in the sea of ​​blood after Pangu created the world, he may have come to the prehistoric world even earlier than Hongjun. But he is an outsider, that is beyond doubt, as Hongjun said!
Since she was an outsider, Deng Chanyu had eliminated an enemy that threatened the prehistoric world, so naturally she would be rewarded.

The next instant, merit descended from the heavens.

Seventy percent went to Deng Chanyu, one and a half percent went to Shu and Hu, and the remaining one and a half percent was divided equally among the disciples of the Jie Sect.

You're giving me merit now? What's the use of that?
Deng Chanyu was speechless. This was just like making money. Starting a business was incredibly difficult. When she was appointing the twelve zodiac animals, she had traveled everywhere, striving for success on the first try, and had put in a tremendous amount of effort. And now? She no longer needed merit, but the more she didn't want it, the more it was being dumped on her head.

Junzi's reward system is really lackluster. Can you give me two innate-level treasures instead?
A refund is not possible; there is no room for negotiation.

The merits she had accumulated would remain untouched; they were a safety net for achieving sainthood through merit should problems arise during the process of severing the three corpses.

These newly acquired merits could be used at will. With a flick of her sleeve, she did not keep these merits but sent them all to the Western Paradise.

Merit can help a saint sever the third corpse, turn the impossible into possible, and naturally help the pilgrimage team speed up the process.

With the help of meritorious deeds, Sun Wukong will be in a good mood, and he will be less inclined to take Tang Sanzang on a roundabout route. Zhu Bajie and the Jade Rabbit will also be more united, and unexpected monsters and immortals will not interfere with the entire journey to the West.

Deng Chanyu poured all seventy percent of her merits into the journey, so the eighty-one tribulations would not be reduced, but the overall progress of the pilgrimage would be greatly accelerated.

With the fall of the Blood Demon God, the Blood God Children he created with a single thought also vanished into thin air, turning into blood and returning to the sea. The Three Immortals immediately returned to Golden Turtle Island.

Many disciples of the Jie Sect gathered together, their expressions solemn, and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit even had tears in her eyes.

Duobao lay in the middle of the main hall. His eyes and arms, which he had lost in the battle, had grown back, but he had no breath on his body and looked as if he were dead.

"Grandmaster Uncle, is there any way to save my teacher? Huo Ling is willing to serve you like a slave to repay your great kindness!" Huo Ling knelt before Deng Chanyu, kowtowing repeatedly.

Deng Chanyu quickly asked Xiao Wu to help Huo Ling up.

She looked at Lingbao Tianzun: "Does Tianzun have any insightful opinion?"

Duobao was a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, and had no relation to Lingbao Tianzun.

Because the matter was extremely important, Lingbao Tianzun, who had just emerged from seclusion, carefully examined it: "The soul is not in the body at all. This is really difficult, very difficult!"

Deng Chanyu shared similar thoughts with him.

Duobao's current condition cannot be described as dead. Although Duobao Buddha and Xihe are also in a coma, they still have breath. As long as they are still in the prehistoric world, they can provide Duobao with a crucial anchor point. As long as his true consciousness awakens, there is hope that he can return to the prehistoric world with the help of the anchor point. From this perspective, Duobao is not dead, but he is definitely not a living person either.

His soul was pulled into a deeper, more profound space by a being within the lightning space.

Even if Yang Mei were to be resurrected now, finding Duobao's soul would be an extremely difficult task, like searching for a needle in a haystack, and would take hundreds of millions of years.

Deng Chanyu is about to attain enlightenment, how could she possibly waste time doing such a thing?

Lingbao Tianzun knew her thoughts, which is why he said it was difficult. Duobao was different from Guangchengzi, who had wandered into chaos in the past. Guangchengzi went out randomly, and even though he was in a dazed state, there were no enemies around. Duobao, on the other hand, was dragged away by the consciousness of some powerful being.

The other party is probably doing the same thing as the Ship of Theseus: I'll replace a little bit today, and a little bit more tomorrow, until finally, you become me.

Duobao had too many "parts" replaced, and his soul sank to the "seabed" under this operation. He can only save himself now, and no external force can help him.

As Tang Sanzang and his disciples journeyed westward, they accumulated a great deal of merit, creating an excellent atmosphere for the four of them along the way.

Tang Sanzang stopped complaining, Sun Wukong was full of fighting spirit, and Zhu Bajie and the Jade Rabbit thought about their bright future. The morale of the whole team was very high.

First, there was a great battle, then they crossed the Tongtian River and arrived at the Jindu Cave.

The Green Ox Demon is definitely the most notorious swindler on the Journey to the West.

He built an extremely luxurious country villa and even found some skeletons. Three ornate vests were prominently displayed. Anyone who saw this would assume that the owner of the house had been dead for many years and that everything in the room was unclaimed.

With the protection of a great deal of merit throughout the journey to the West, Pigsy was not greedy this time. On the contrary, he suggested collecting the remains and, along with Tang Sanzang, recited the sutras for the deceased for half a day without really contributing.

The Green Ox Demon had no choice but to jump out and cause trouble.

"Hey! Where did you wild monks come from? Why did you step in with your left foot? This is a grave offense! This is absolutely intolerable!"

Sun Wukong chuckled upon seeing this. "What are you pretending for? Aren't you the Green Ox at Laozi's gate? I've even drunk wine with you before!"
The Green Ox Demon pretended not to recognize him, and the two ran outside for a fierce battle. In the end, he used the Golden Ring to take away the Golden Cudgel.

When Sun Wukong saw that his weapon had been taken away, he went to the Heavenly Court to complain to Laozi without saying a word.

The green ox was not in a hurry. It returned to the villa and questioned Tang Sanzang and his disciples about why they entered with their left foot.

"Who exactly are you people?" he asked, feigning ignorance when he knew the answer.

Pigsy also recognized him. He and Jade Rabbit fought the Green Ox Demon together, but their rake and jade pestle were taken away. The two were speechless and could only follow Old Sun's path to find Laozi.

Tang Sanzang was the only one left on the scene. He braced himself and said to the Green Ox Demon, "This humble monk comes from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East and is on his way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."

While eating fruit, the Green Ox Demon said, "You monk are not bad, unlike them who are so greedy. But I would like to ask, where did you come from, and why did you come to my place?"

Tang Seng had the same expression as an old man on the subway looking at his phone; he had somehow managed to get the "playing the lute to a cow" achievement.

Laozi wanted to hide in the back hall, but Sun Wukong was incredibly lucky. He didn't even go through the main gate and met Laozi directly at the back gate. "Old man, come with me!"

With the intervention of Laozi, the Green Ox was finally subdued. Jindu Mountain is generally considered to be the dividing line between East and West. Beyond Jindu Mountain, one enters the true Buddhist territory.

The journey on the Grand Line is already halfway complete, and the four travelers are heading to their first stop in the New World: the Land of Women.
