I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 554 Indra

"Indra?"

When Li Boyang learned of Zhuang Zhou's new identity from Wang Shu, the surprise on his face was unusually amusing.

Zhuang Zhou came from a later era, yet he did not give up the idea of ​​continuing to prove the Dao.

Therefore, whether it was to prevent his future friends from making fun of him, or to avoid being targeted by preachers like Mara, he needed to adopt a new identity.

Li Boyang had actually divined and calculated Zhuang Zhou's various choices.

Mara, the ruler of Paranirmitavasavartin...

The sage who reigns over Tushita Heaven...

The Buddha overlooking Yamata...

Regardless of which of the above identities Zhuang Zhou chose, Li Boyang would not be surprised.

After all, it can be seen from the path of "Great Freedom Heaven" that Zhuang Zhou was definitely not the kind of being bound by rules and regulations.

Yet this guy, who spent his whole life pursuing a carefree and unrestrained life, chose to transform into a celestial being.

The Devas, as one of the eight classes of the Thirty-Three Heavens, are the manifestation of the desire for power.

Indra, the incarnation of Zhuangzi, is the head of all the gods.

Even among all the demon kings whose desires manifested, he was the one with the strongest lust for power.

"Zhuang Zhou said, since I am managing the Six Desire Realms on your behalf..."

"Then 'Indra' is undoubtedly the most suitable identity."

Wang Shu clearly agreed with Zhuang Zhou's explanation; she even felt that Zhuang Zhou was more "sensible" than she had imagined.

Li Boyang simply smiled and shook his head without saying a word, then changed the subject.

"Have you prepared the registers of those demon kings and Buddhas?"

Registering the current demon kings and Buddhas of the Six Desire Realms was another task that Li Boyang assigned to Wang Shu.

As it turns out, with Zhuangzi's help, Wangshu accomplished his task quite perfectly.

"It's all registered: the eight classes of beings manifested by the Demon King of Desire, and the Buddha Kings manifested by the Buddhas of Right Mindfulness..."

"As long as they are individuals in the Six Desire Realms, their names and abilities are recorded in this register."

With a simple wave of her hand, a thin roll of roster appeared in Wang Shu's hands.

Between the turns of this register, one can vaguely see the hideous demons on it, so lifelike, as if they were alive.

"Teacher, what do you need these rosters for?"

With some doubt, Wang Shu handed the roster to Li Boyang.

"These lists are useless to me, of course, but someone else might need them!"

Smiling, Wang Shu turned her gaze towards the direction of Beihai. Li Boyang's words made her realize something.

If there's anyone in this world worth Li Boyang going through all this trouble for, then there's no one else but Xi Luo.

"That silly cat has been running wild outside for so many years, it's time for it to come home."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"You're now called Indra?"

Tilting her head, Xi Luo scrutinized the man in front of her, her eyes filled with astonishment.

If one didn't know beforehand that the other party was Zhuang Zhou, who transformed from Kun into Peng, it would be really hard to associate him with the dignified and precious man in front of them.

He was wearing a jeweled crown and adorned with necklaces, holding a vajra, and appeared exceptionally heroic.

Behind Indra, a six-tusked white elephant stood lazily on the water, its size almost the same as that of a dragon turtle.

“Indra is my identity, and I am now called Indra.”

As Indra began to explain his identity, Lu Huaijin had already quietly appeared behind him.

At this moment, Lu Huaijin also transformed into a celestial being. Her gorgeous long dress and the ribbons fluttering behind her bore a striking resemblance to Xi Luo.

Perhaps it was because he knew that Xi Luo had never liked him.

Lu Huaijin is unusually low-key now, showing no trace of the arrogance and wickedness she displays in front of outsiders.

"I don't care what your name is, if you want to take the Giant Kun clan from me, you'll have to pay a price, right?"

He gently turned the pages of the [Jade Pool Heavenly Book] in his hand.

Xi Luo's gaze merely swept over Lu Huaijin casually, as if she hadn't recognized his identity at all.

"That's for sure. I've come here openly and honestly, and I've brought plenty of sincerity with me."

Indra's voice sounded unusually calm, as if he had no idea that the person standing in front of him was the future Queen Mother of the West.

"The Primordial Heavenly Demon intends to make me the Lord of the Thirty-Three Heavens, to help him rule the entire Six Desire Heavens."

"But it would be incredibly difficult for me to achieve this goal on my own."

"Therefore, I need thirty-two deputies to help me achieve this goal."

"Your divine power is boundless and your ambitions are lofty. Perhaps you can create an incarnation to take over these thirty-three heavens."

Looking at Indra's sincere gaze, Xiluo, though unaware that the Primordial Demon was Li Boyang, vaguely sensed that he was taking advantage of her.

After all, the birth of the Six Desires Heaven was clearly related to Li Boyang.

So even if that so-called Primordial Heavenly Demon wasn't Li Boyang, it must be inextricably linked to him.

Are you treating me like a fool?

With a slight grin revealing two fangs, Xi Luo's face showed displeasure.

"If I truly wish to rule the Six Desire Realms, do I need your permission?"

Faced with Xi Luo's anger, Indra simply smiled and continued speaking.

"If it's just about taking over the Six Desire Realms, you naturally don't need my permission."

“But if you want to hold the ‘Jade Pool Gathering’ and attain the path to immortality, I think I can be of help.”

"Of course, I also know that if you ask the Dao Ancestor for help, he will definitely do his best to help you."

It must be admitted that Indra's goading tactic was indeed very effective.

Almost everyone present could tell that he was using reverse psychology, but they also knew that this tactic was very effective on Xi Luo.

After all, if Xi Luo really wanted to rely on Li Boyang's power to achieve enlightenment, she wouldn't have been able to roam around outside for so many years.

"It seems I am really famous in the future; it feels like everyone knows me."

As she said this, Xi Luo didn't forget to stomp hard on the dragon turtle under her feet.

The dragon turtle, who hadn't said a word the whole time but was innocently caught in the crossfire, could only blink its eyes in grievance.

"But what I'm more curious about is, aren't you pursuing a life of freedom and ease?"

"Why are these methods of wielding power used with such masterful skill?"

With a nonchalant shrug, Indra smiled calmly.

"Free and easy, free and easy..."

"If one does not ascend to the pinnacle of power and master the art of power, how can one speak of true freedom?"

"The Daoist Ancestor once said that only those who have entered the world are qualified to talk about leaving it, and only those who have not yet found freedom can attain true freedom."

"In my dreams, I have been a king and a humble beggar, witnessing all walks of life and enjoying all the riches and glory in the world."

"Later I discovered the suffering of all living beings. Even if one reaches the pinnacle of worldly life, there is still a sense of unease. Only then did I seek true freedom."
