Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

You old sly fox!

As expected, neither of the two Western Saints are good people; one is shameless and brazen, and the other is cunning and treacherous!

In truth, to all living beings, saints are not good people at all. They use all living beings as pawns, with heaven and earth forming a chessboard, controlling the fate of all living beings, and regarding them as ants.

Of course, in essence, for mortals, the I Ching and other celestial deities aren't exactly benevolent things either...

"That's excellent! When the great eon of Journey to the West arrives, I won't feel guilty about accumulating more Buddhist merit for the journey!"

Zhou Yi thought to himself!

Zhou Yi was initially worried that he wouldn't have a reason to get involved in the Journey to the West Tribulation, since the merits of the Journey to the West Tribulation had been divided up by the saints. As a rogue cultivator, if he didn't join other forces...

Not completely pledging allegiance to one side is like working for the Jade Emperor!

But working for others goes against the principles of the I Ching, 'however, one must be fully prepared beforehand...!'

Meanwhile, upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, the Guide Daoist was still somewhat shaken. "Sigh, I still can't be as shameless as my junior brother."

In fact, regarding the Book of Changes, in addition to subtly influencing people through the ultimate goodness of Buddhism, the Guide of the Way can also forcibly convert them using Buddhist supernatural powers. However, those who are forcibly converted will have their future potential impaired.

Because conversion is an act of forcibly changing the other person's personality and beliefs, it is a kind of reshaping of personality. With the change in personality, all the attributes of the cultivator related to personality will also change drastically.

For example, one's destiny, fate, comprehension, and personality.

Once a cultivator has been converted, they essentially lose all future variables; everything is already predetermined, and even a saint could easily predict their future.

The present state of the I Ching, and its future achievements.

As things stand, he is at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and there is hope for him to become a Quasi-Saint. However, this is not a certainty, and there are still variables. He may also attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, or even something even more extraordinary!

It's not impossible for someone to become the Limitless Dao Lord, who is above the Primordial Saint!

Transforming the Book of Changes is equivalent to cutting off its variables!

This limits the potential of the Book of Changes.

If Zhou Yi were an ordinary, post-natal being, severing his connection would be no big deal. But Zhou Yi is Pangu!

Each Pangu is an immense treasure of heaven and earth. As long as such a treasure does not commit acts that anger heaven and man or incur heavy karmic retribution, it will receive the attention of heaven and earth.

What followed was the great rise of Buddhism, but Jieyin did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, we did not choose to forcibly convert them!

But the guiding Taoist smiled slightly, "Good, within that golden lotus of merit lies the purest and truest good intention of this humble monk's 'good corpse.' Young friend, you should carefully contemplate it; it will greatly help you in severing your 'good corpse' in the future!"

The fact that she was able to instantly break free from the influence of the Golden Lotus of Merit shows that the other party already knew about her scheme. Since the other party didn't say it, it was only natural to follow their wishes and gracefully step down.

"This Buddhist scroll contains the supreme path of our Buddhism, the first volume of the Path of the Dream World. Young friend, you can go back and study it carefully. If you can achieve something, it means that you are truly destined to follow our path."

These are the two preparations made by the Guide!

The influence of the Book of Changes is subtly induced by the merits of the Golden Lotus and the supreme goodness of Buddhist thought. Then, the first volume of the Way of the Dream World is used to lure the other party. As for whether the other party can comprehend it.

For someone who can learn a supreme divine power of the Great Dao of Time while only being at the True Immortal realm!

Such great wisdom and insight are absolutely sufficient to comprehend the Dao of the dream world!

What a pity, what a pity...

Unfortunately, the Golden Lotus Seed of Supreme Merit has become ineffective. However, the Guide Daoist did not give up. The Dao of the Dream World is one of the few, if not the only, lineages in the Three Realms that directly points to the Primordial Dao!

If the other party can comprehend the first volume, they will surely be attracted by the profound Dao of the dream world!

At that time, the only way to achieve the complete Great Dao of the Dream World is to join the Buddhist sect.

"In that case, this junior thanks Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yi respectfully bowed and replied.

"good!

"In that case, this humble monk takes his leave!"

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Sage!"

The Book of Changes dictates the way of etiquette!

Buzzing...

Before long, the golden light dissipated, and Zhou Yi found himself still sitting on a futon, quietly listening to the Bodhi Taoist preaching on the platform.

However, Zhou Yi was shocked to discover that when he entered and exited the Golden Lotus World of the Guide Saint, no time had passed outside.

But he has been in the Saint's Golden Lotus World for at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

"Do you control time in your own world?!"

As the master of a thousand worlds in Liaozhai, Zhou Yi also has the authority to control the flow of time within his world, but this requires at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In particular, the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio has now become a subordinate world of the Great Journey to the West!

The world's time is no longer so easy to control. I'm afraid that even if Zhou Yi were to ascend to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future, he would still find it difficult to control the time of the Liaozhai world.

"So it seems the world we were in just now was a complete and vast world!"

Only in this way, otherwise, unless the guiding saint comprehends part of the Great Dao of Time and can control time in any place, whether it is his own world, other people's time, or even the Great Primordial World!

But how difficult it is to comprehend the great principles of time!

The moment Zhou Yi appeared, the Bodhi Taoist on the stage opened his eyes in surprise and looked in Zhou Yi's direction!

Although it was only for a moment and others did not feel it, Bodhi Daoist, who was a sub-sage, did feel it. He thought that the Guide Daoist would forcibly take action to convert this child!

Now it seems they had some reservations!

However, he didn't think much of it and continued to talk about the art of alchemy!

Yi Wood Azure Dragon Pill!

The purpose of this pill is to allow any living being with dragon blood to transform into a dragon!

And it's a Azure Dragon!

Whether it has five claws or four claws depends on the depth of its bloodline!

For those dragons who were originally true dragons, this pill can further purify their bloodline and enhance their potential and aptitude. It can be said that this pill is the supreme treasure for all dragons, or those who aspire to become dragons!

"The dragon race in the Journey to the West world doesn't seem to be in a very good situation!"

Think about the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that the high-ranking immortals in the Heavenly Court of Journey to the West ate. Even if they weren't real dragons, they were definitely dragons with more than three claws. In fact, what does it matter if they were real dragons?

"This elixir is wonderful, but it's a pity it can't be exchanged for merit points. Perhaps I could go to the Dragon Clan and trade it for some magical treasures!"

The dragon race is hated by heaven and earth because it owes a great debt of karma. It has insufficient merit to begin with, so why would it use merit to consume it?

However, the dragon race is an ancient race, and it still has a rich heritage.

Although Zhou Yi now possesses the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Pangu Blade Flying Knife, the flying knife is paired with the Destiny Time Blade Flying Knife Divine Power!

While the throwing knife technique is effective, it is somewhat disadvantageous in close combat.

If I could obtain a long weapon or magical artifact similar to the Golden Cudgel or the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword, that would be perfect.

Zhou Yi thought to himself...

Time passed slowly, and Bodhi finished his sermon. Zhou Yi had gained a lot. Next, Medicine Buddha talked about an eighth-order divine pill called the Seven-Colored Glazed Elixir!

Taking this pill allows a Golden Immortal to cultivate the Imperishable Glazed Body, a physique with physical strength comparable to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

It can be described as extremely mysterious!

Then came the discussion of Master Xuandu. However, Master Xuandu did not begin speaking directly, but instead looked in the direction of Zhou Yi, saying, "In the Great Dao of External Alchemy in the Three Realms, I have always believed that I am only below my master and His Majesty Shennong!"

However, some time ago, after seeing my disciple bring back a Life-Creating Pill, I realized that there are always people more skilled than you, and my alchemy skills are barely passable.
