The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 37 Journey to the West
Just as everyone's thoughts were churning, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out across the square:

"This is a death mission, with a new member added, and mission details are being released in advance."

Jiang Zhiwei and the others exchanged glances, and sure enough, it was a new reincarnator.

However, the fact that he joined during a death mission suggests that this Zen Master Fahai is not very lucky. I wonder how he offended the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
A detached voice rang out again in the square:
'Mission Background: In search of Buddhist teachings, the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang travels westward from Chang'an, taking on disciples along the way including the Monkey King Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie, General Juanlian Sha Wujing, and the Dragon King's Third Prince Ao Lie.'

"Under the protection of his four disciples, Xuanzang and his companions slew all sorts of demons and monsters along the way, enduring eighty-one tribulations, finally arriving at Mount Ling, obtaining the true scriptures, and achieving enlightenment. This is the Journey to the West!"

After listening to the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's account, Meng Qi's eyes lit up. He immediately put aside the matter of the Immortal Execution World and Zen Master Fahai, feeling both surprised and delighted, and could hardly control his expression.

After many cycles of reincarnation, he finally encountered a world he was familiar with.

However, thinking about the power of the Journey to the West world, he felt a little worried.

With their strength, they probably wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder in the Journey to the West world!
Just as Meng Qi was feeling conflicted, the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's next words left him stunned.

"This mission takes place eight hundred years after the events of Journey to the West, a time when demons wreak havoc on the human world."

Eight hundred years. Eight hundred years.
These words echoed in Meng Qi's mind, and a thought involuntarily surfaced in his head:
I don't know the plot, so I can't pretend to be a saint in front of everyone!
The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation continued without pausing:
Main quest: Survive until day eight, then you can choose to return. Each survivor will be rewarded with 1,000 merit points.

'This mission has no evaluation; each survivor will be rewarded with one Reincarnation Talisman.'

After hearing the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's mission introduction, everyone fell silent. The mere mention of survival revealed the danger of this death mission.

Zhong Xu was also speechless, but not because of the death mission, but because the mission world this time was the Journey to the West world.

Not to mention that the essence of this world is the same as the real world, and its level is extremely high, far surpassing the world of Jade Dynasty, even the true form of the Demon Buddha is sealed in the Pure Land of Mount Ling in the Journey to the West world.

Is this a sign of breaking off relations and directly suppressing me?
Unable to suppress a few curses at his cheap master in his heart, Zhong Xu looked at the crowd, put his hands together, and asked, "Esteemed benefactors, could you please explain the situation here to me?"

Upon hearing Zhong Xu's words, everyone remembered that there was a newcomer who had just entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation here.

The group exchanged glances, and Meng Qi stepped forward first, enthusiastically introducing the Six Paths of Reincarnation Space and the general situation of these people to Zhong Xu.

Zhong Xu listened calmly to Meng Qi's account, comparing it with the plot in his own memory, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

It's pretty much as I remember; it seems the timeline hasn't changed.

After listening to Meng Qi's explanation, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he put his hands together and said, "I see. Thank you for clearing up my doubts, benefactor."

'Ok'

Seeing the calm expression on the white-robed monk's face, Meng Qi was taken aback: "Zen Master Fahai, aren't you surprised?"

"Naturally surprised."

Zhong Xu chuckled lightly: "However, as the Buddha said, there are three thousand great chiliocosms and countless small chiliocosms. It is quite normal for other worlds to exist outside of my world. As for this Six Paths of Reincarnation space, it is probably a magical artifact created by some powerful beings!"

Looking at the white-robed monk in front of him with an indifferent expression that seemed to say everything should be this way, Meng Qi's lips twitched involuntarily.

Adapted so quickly!
He doesn't look like a native at all!
At the same time, recalling what the white-robed monk had said before, Meng Qi asked casually, "Master Fahai, may I ask who your teacher is?"

"My master is the Venerable Master Puzhi."

"Puzhi?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Meng Qi's eyes. In the original novel of Zhu Xian, besides Zhang Xiaofan, did Puzhi have any other successors?
"how?"

Zhong Xu smiled as he looked at Meng Qi in front of him: "Have you heard of my master's Buddhist chant?"

Meng Qi quickly shook his head: "No, I just feel that this Buddhist chant contains Buddhist principles, and I can't help but have some insights into it."

Zhong Xu nodded and said with a smile, "Benefactor, you are indeed deeply insightful and possess Buddha-nature. I believe that if you have the opportunity in the future, you will surely be able to awaken to yourself and see the Tathagata."

Meng Qi's expression froze slightly:
Why are you cursing people?
You are truly gifted!

Only then will you be able to see the Tathagata!
Hearing Zhong Xu's words, Jiang Zhiwei and the others couldn't help but laugh, thinking of Xiao Meng's personality.

Just then, Zhong Xu raised his head slightly, looked at a certain place in the void, and sighed softly: "Alas, it is a pity that my master Puzhi has already ascended to the Pure Land and returned to the Buddha's tutelage."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi realized what was happening and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Zen Master Fahai, I was unaware that your master had passed away."

“It’s alright.” Zhong Xu waved his hand and said sincerely, “My master has spent his life practicing Zen and Buddhism, and I believe that returning to the Buddha’s tutelage is also his lifelong pursuit.”

Sensing the sincerity in the words of the Zen Master Fahai before him, Meng Qi couldn't help but feel moved by the deep bond between the two master and disciple.

Zhong Xu did not continue the topic, but looked at the light screen in the center of the square with a curious expression: "Is this light screen the rare item that you mentioned can be exchanged for various cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities?"

Meng Qi nodded, and then saw the white-robed monk in front of him leisurely walk to the light screen, open the light screen, and begin to check the information in front of him.

This practiced move left Meng Qi and the others stunned.

This was the first time they had ever met a newcomer with such a calm demeanor and strong adaptability.

On the other side, Zhong Xu arrived beneath the light screen and looked up. The first line read: "Peerless Divine Skill that stirs the soul."

The complete novel "Buddha's Palm" is available for exchange at a price of one million merit points.

Looking at that string of zeros, Zhong Xu even had the urge to exchange the true essence of the Tathagata Palm he had obtained.

'Now I'm a man with a million good deeds!'

Secretly equating his possession of the "Buddha's Palm" technique with one million merit points, Zhong Xu continued looking down:

Seven Swords of Heaven.

This is the legacy left by the Dao Venerable, the true transcendent being of all the heavens in this realm, but unfortunately the third and sixth forms are missing.

Even so, the price reached 750,000 merits.

Looking at this inheritance, Zhong Xu felt a surge of passion; this was the swordsmanship inheritance he had been seeking.

Unfortunately, it's too expensive; I simply can't afford it.

Moreover, he has no choice now but to become a monk for the time being.

Next, the complete "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" is listed, with a redemption price of 950,000 merit points.

Another inheritance that Zhong Xu coveted came from one of the oldest beings in this world, the Buddhist incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Holy Buddha. It was an unparalleled divine skill that he created in order to explore the path to enlightenment.

This divine skill contains the supreme principles of Buddhism and Taoism, allowing one to enter the Tao or become a Buddha. It is somewhat similar to the situation within Zhong Xu's body at this moment, and may help him control the dual Buddhist and demonic intentions within him.

Having secretly memorized this lineage, Zhong Xu continued looking down.

Below, numerous peerless inheritances from powerful figures emerged, such as the "Human Emperor's Golden Chapter," the "Heavenly Emperor's Jade Book," the "Demon Emperor's Canon," and the "Phoenix Rebirth Technique," all of which are peerless divine skills at the other shore level.

In other words, the beings on the other side of these heavens only have the pursuit of the Great Dao in their hearts. Many cultivation techniques are just byproducts of their exploration of the path to the Dao Fruit and they do not attach much importance to them. In addition, behind the Six Paths of Reincarnation are beings on the other side such as the Demon Buddha Ananda and the Ancient Buddha Bodhi, which is why Zhong Xu was able to see so many other-side level inheritances.

In other heavens, one would likely not even have the chance to come into contact with such a powerful inheritance unless one reached the corresponding level.

After the various cultivation techniques were passed down, many divine weapons appeared, including many peerless treasures from the other shore.

Zhong Xu glanced at it once and then looked away, not paying much attention.

These peerless treasures from beyond the ocean either already have owners or have various drawbacks, making them impossible to acquire.

For example, the Buddha's most precious Bodhi tree is currently suppressing the demon Buddha Ananda. If one wants to obtain it, one would probably have to release the demon from its seal first.

This is practically tantamount to courting death.

A moment later, Zhong Xu had a general idea of ​​the information on the screen.

Then, a thought struck him, and he remembered the Demonic Buddha Mystic Art he was currently practicing.

'I wonder how much merit is worth of this combined Buddhist and demonic technique that my cheap master taught me?'

With a slight shift in his gaze, Zhong Xu began to concentrate on memorizing the complete Demon Buddha Mystic Art and handed it over to the light screen in front of him for evaluation.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Zhong Xu felt as if the light screen in front of him seemed to freeze for a moment.
