Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Instead of now, it happened almost eight years earlier.

Hinata Hoshino pondered which way to go: south, west, or north.

Heading south, we visited the three temples of Putuo and the Meishan Naval Base.

Westward journey, wizards, sorcerers.

Heading north, to Wudang, Shaolin Temple, Lingyin Temple, shamanic practices, and Tantric Buddhism.

As for those who control the secular world, they haven't appeared yet. We can't just ask for them one by one; we have to wait until everything is over.

As for the King of the Underworld, it will be another thirty years before the Lunar New Year arrives. There's no way for him to enter the Underworld in his true form now, let alone his soul. Who knows if Acha will let him go?

Not to mention, one day in the underworld is equivalent to ten years in the mortal realm. By then, by taking advantage of the strong winds of the Sunrise to enter the underworld, it will only take six and a half days for Zhang Chulan to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, which will then begin.

Fifty plus sixty-five equals one hundred and fifteen, no problem. At that time, not only Maoshan, but the entire world of supernatural beings will be spreading rumors of his ascension.

Hinata Hoshino thought for a moment and decided to go south first, while the seafood was still edible, and have a few more bites.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk is Yixiu, greetings to the Daoist Master."

"Why is this Zen master blocking my way?"

"This humble monk is staying at Puji Temple, representing the three temples of Putuo. I hope to establish a good connection with you, Daoist Master."

"Ah, I understand, I'll give them incense now."

Hyuga Hoshino took out a money bag containing about thirty gold coins and stuffed it into Ikkyu's hand.

"keep the change."

Ikkyu was taken aback. What a clever Taoist priest! Ikkyu shook his money pouch, then realized what he had done. He had come to make a good connection, but instead he had received offerings. How did this happen?

"Taoist Master, please wait."

Is that Bald Shen Gongbao?

"What else does the Zen master want? Is it because the incense offerings are insufficient? Could you please provide some more?"

"No, the good karma has not yet been formed."

Ikkyu took out a Buddhist scripture and handed it to Hyuga Hoshino, who accepted it without hesitation.

The Heart Sutra, also known as the Avalokiteshvara Heart Sutra, is often shortened to the Heart Sutra.

Upon opening the book, Hinata Hoshino appeared in a space filled with chanting.

“Nameless, in the name of an Arhat, I hereby bestow authority upon Shixing of Maoshan.”

Hinata Hoshino scratched his head. Sure enough, the title page read, "Anonymous translation."

Hinata Hoshino felt that this world was truly incomprehensible. The nameless one was probably from the Jin Dynasty, born about two hundred years earlier than the monk Sanzang.

How did he foresee this?

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin and guessed that the reason why the nameless Arhat of Theravada Buddhism was born might be for today.

The things he left behind might be renamed according to his status; if he was in Buddhism, they might be called by his Dharma name.

"Amitabha Buddha, the good karma has been fulfilled. Daoist Master, we will meet again someday."

Good karma? That's all?

As the Heart Sutra resounded, a golden relic emerged from above and disappeared into Hyuga Hoshino's brow.

Gan!

"These bald monks plotted against me," was Hyuga Hoshino's first thought. In Hyuga Hoshino's mind, the Kirin reappeared, roaring at the relic.

The relic trembled slightly, and an unnamed figure appeared, bowing to the Qilin before shattering.

Hinata Hoshino's lips twitched. What kind of situation is this? He's somehow gotten an Arhat's status.

No wonder Wuming performed so poorly when fighting Meng Po; he didn't use a single spell except for the Arhat Blood.

The Qilin was still not at ease, so it swallowed the relic and spat it out again, and a phantom image of the Qilin appeared in the center of the relic.

The relic merged into Hyuga Hoshino's ancestral acupoint, and the remnant of his mind harbored some dissatisfaction with this neighbor.

Why doesn't it go and compete with the Five Internal Organs God for a place? That's just bullying people.

Hyuga Hoshino's training in Huangting (Yellow Court) focuses on internal cultivation, specifically the seven spirits of the face and the five spirits of the five internal organs.

The only thing with a physical form now is the brain spirit. When Hyuga Hoshino touched the relic, his whole body shone with Buddhist light.

Looking at the golden Buddhist light surrounding him, Hyuga Hoshino looked helpless. This Arhat Golden Body was indeed very strong, reaching the level of shattering stars. The moon could be used as a glass marble. However, the power inside the relic was almost depleted.

However, with the Tenseigan's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, slicing through the moon wouldn't be difficult. Even with Sage Mode, pushing the moon around shouldn't be too hard.

The relic was somewhat useless, as it did not provide any substantial improvement to Hyuga Hoshino's strength.

The relic sent a message: it needs faith, a vast amount of faith, to fill itself with faith.

No wonder Ikkyu ran so fast; he wanted to come begging to him and incur another karmic debt. Oh my, what a cunning scheme!

But who says it has to be filled with faith here? What about the world of pirates? What about the Naruto world?

It is believed that as long as the incense offerings are sufficient, the temples in the world of theft and the Fire Temple in the world of Naruto will not refuse to offer one more Arhat.

Hinata Hoshino wasn't in a hurry about this, so he headed west first. Feng Tianyang should be in Bashu at this time. He was a great shaman when the Thirty-Six Thieves swore brotherhood, and he held a very high position among the wizards.

Dealing with Feng Tianyang will solve half the problem with the wizards. The remaining half, I'll probably have to find Xia Liuqing.

In the game "Under One Person," the two largest branches of wizards are those like Feng Tianyang, who control spirits, and those like Xia Liuqing, who perform Nuo dances to represent gods.

Chapter 164 Mountain God

Before Hinata Hoshino came to the mountains, this was the mountains where Feng Tianyang lived, in the Bashu region, a place inhabited by ethnic minorities.

"Hello."

Emerald light formed a graceful human figure in front of Hinata Hoshino, truly a spirit of the mountains.

"Are you a mountain spirit?"

"Uh-huh, I'm Yueyi."

"Then, Miss Yueyi, what brings you to my attention?"

"Could you please save my life?"

Hinata Hoshino recalled a scene from The Ferryman, where a mountain was hollowed out, causing the mountain god to disappear.

But people live up here...

That's true. As long as there's no landslide, whether the mountain is hollow or not has no impact.

Hinata Hoshino was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"Thank you."

With the activation of divine power, Yueyi entered and settled in Elfheim, the world of elves.

In the silent city of Elfheim, a towering mountain rises abruptly from the ground.

Hela of Helheim, watching the mountain appear in Elfheim, her long whip lashing out at Toneri Otsutsuki, was very displeased.

Hyuga Hoshino noticed Otsutsuki Toneri's miserable state but showed no sympathy whatsoever.

If we don't catch him, in a decade or so, he'll set his sights on his fiancée and sister-in-law—wait, two fiancées! Damn, he's a heinous criminal.

Feng Tianyang's expression changed, and he hurriedly went to find Wu Xian. Wu Xian looked at the mountains and sighed. He had a premonition that the mountain shamans would leave, the ordinary people in the mountains would leave, and the mountain spirits would leave; it was only natural.

“Tianyang, I know why you’ve come. This is the will of Heaven, and it cannot be defied.”

"I understand, but why? Why did the mountains abandon their people?"

"If the mountains abandon us, we can survive. But if we abandon the mountains, can they still survive?"

"You're right."

"Tianyang, I have a feeling that the day you leave is approaching, and this departure may be for the rest of your life."

"I won't……"

"You will, it is the will of Heaven."

Wu Xian patted Feng Tianyang on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need to grieve, as everything was preordained.

"Tianyang, our guests have arrived. Go and greet them quickly."

As Feng Tianyang walked down the mountain, Hinata Hoshino looked at the white-haired figure approaching from a distance and guessed that it was Feng Tianyang.

"Are you friends from Maoshan?"

"Exactly."

Feng Tianyang's eyes looked a little red, probably because he sensed the departure of the Mountain Spirit. Speaking of which, Zhang Zhiwei and his generation are full of talented people.

However, they were all captured by Wugensheng and listed as the Thirty-Six Thieves.

Hinata Hoshino walked into the building where Wu Xian lived. Wu Xian waved his hand, indicating that Feng Tianyang didn't need to come in.

"Friend who has come from afar, I know what your purpose is. I am also very willing to make it happen. I just hope you can agree to one condition."

"Tell me what you're capable of, and I won't refuse."

Wu Xian knelt directly in front of Hyuga Hoshino and kowtowed twice.

"Please save Feng Tianyang and preserve the lineage of my Wu Xian clan."

The lineage of wizards to which Feng Tianyang belongs has a long history, dating back to the primitive human era.

Through their investigation, Sanmao Zhenjun and Hyuga Hoshino realized that this world was actually an experimental field that had been restarted many times.

In the end, the fact that the flock of black birds on Mount Kunlun could restart once is enough to prove the fragility of this world.

Their ultimate goal is to find the elusive one, the glimmer of hope before the world's destruction.

Unfortunately, they failed many times, so there are many conflicts in the existing legends, such as the legends of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the legends of the primitive people.

Essentially, Hyuga Hoshino's taking in this world was also an experiment. If Hyuga Hoshino succeeded, they would succeed; if Hyuga Hoshino failed, it would just be another failure recorded.

“Okay, as long as he comes to Maoshan to find me, I will definitely protect him.”

After thinking for a while, Hinata Hoshino decided to agree.
