“You’re the scoundrel…”
From the beginning, the two little men argued and debated, gradually escalating to quarrels, and eventually even fighting.
Unfortunately, the two little men fought for a long time, covered in blood, but they still could not determine who was the winner.
“Sigh-”
Tang Xuanzang opened his eyes and sighed deeply.
During his time of emotional turmoil and inner struggle.
Suddenly.
The air in the room began to ripple.
Monkey King opened his eyes, suddenly sat up, and angrily shouted, “Who?”
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune!”
A Daoist priest appeared in front of them, dressed in a Taoist robe, wearing cloth shoes, and holding a glowing duster.
“Master of the Primordial Beginning?”
“Master of the Primordial Beginning?”
Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King exclaimed in unison.
As it turns out.
The two of them had not seen this mysterious Master of the Primordial
Beginning since they first entered Black Wind Country.
However.
During their five years in Black Wind Country, they often heard about the
Master of the Primordial Beginning from the people.
Storytellers in various taverns and teahouses also frequently told stories about the Master of the Primordial Beginning.
It could be said that although they hadn’t seen the Master of the Primordial
Beginning again, they never stopped hearing about him.
“Tang Xuanzang, Dao Xuan told me that you want to apply to stay in Black
Wind Country. How long do you want to apply for?” Xuanqing asked indifferently.
“This…”
Tang Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and whispered in
a mosquito-like voice, “I… don’t know.”
Seeing this.
Xuanqing smiled slightly before continuing, “I have a question for you. Answer me truthfully.”
“Please speak, Master.” Tang Xuanzang nodded.
Immediately after.
The Master of the Primordial Beginning said, “Tang Xuanzang, are you going to the Western Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek the scriptures for the sake of the scriptures, or for the people of the Tang Dynasty?”
Hearing these words.
Is it to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, or for the Tang Dynasty people?
Tang Xuanzang was somewhat confused.
However, just then, the faint spirituality left by the Golden Cicada in the depths of his soul bloomed with wisps of light.
Thus.
Tang Xuanzang came to his senses, put his hands together, and said, “I am a disciple of Buddhism and was taken in by the abbot of Jinshan Temple as a child. But I am also a member of the Tang Dynasty.”
“So, it is both for the sake of worshiping Buddha and seeking scriptures and for the people of the Tang Dynasty.”
“Hehe.”
Xuanqing chuckled, then continued in a deep voice, “What if the Mahayana Buddhist Dharma cannot save people?”
“If the Mahayana Buddhist Dharma is able to save people according to the Dharma, I will return to Black Wind Country and continue my studies, seeking a way out for the people of the Tang Dynasty.”
Tang Xuanzang’s eyes were resolute.
Between these questions and answers, he had made up his mind.
At the same time.
He also understood that this was the Master of the Primordial Beginning guiding him, so he respectfully bowed deeply to the other party.
“Thankyou, Master of the Primordial Beginning, for enlightening me. I…understand now. Once I have handed over my responsibilities, I will set out on my Western Journey to test my true thoughts.”
Tang Xuanzang’s eyes were pure.
In fact.
After ten full cycles of reincarnation, the influence of the Golden Cicada’s reincarnated body on him had weakened to almost negligible levels.
This was the reason why Xuanqing was able to successfully turn Dao Xuan to their side and ultimately join Black Wind Country, eventually becoming the palace master of Black Wind Country’s Daoist Palace.
“Hahaha- What a Tang Xuanzang! It’s a pity that your humanity will be erased once you reach Ling Mountain.”
Xuanqing laughed loudly at first, then his face showed a trace of regret.
After thinking for a moment.
“Never mind, I will grant you some support. I hope that after your physical body is occupied by the Golden Cicada, you will come to live a good life in Black Wind Country.”
Upon finishing his words.
Xuanqing moved his thoughts and brought out the Luck Jade Seal of Black Wind Country.
Hums-
Containing the vast Human Path Destiny of Black Wind Country, the Jade Seal rotated in the air, emitting incredibly mysterious Daoist rhyme.
Speaking of which, since the establishment of the Primordial Dao Court, he hadn’t used this Luck Jade Seal for a long time.
Whoosh-
A blue light burst forth from the Luck Jade Seal, transforming into a sharp sword and rushing towards Tang Xuanzang’s forehead.
Tang Xuanzang didn’t have time to feel astonished before sensing a cool sensation in his mind.
In an instant.
He felt an indescribable sense of relaxation, as if the knots in his heart and the struggle between the two little figures in his mind had disappeared completely.
Refreshing.
Extremely refreshing.
This was a feeling of relaxation that came from the soul.
“Master of the Primordial Beginning, that Golden Cicada…” Tang Xuanzang had some doubts in his heart and couldn’t help but ask.
However.
He saw the Master of the Primordial Beginning just looking at him with a smile, without any intention of giving a reply.
“Wukong…?”
“Hehe, Master, don’t ask me, I don’t know, and I don’t understand either.” Monkey King smiled slyly, shaking his head and talking.
Upon seeing this scene.
“Sigh..-”
Tang Xuanzang could only sigh secretly in his heart and stopped worrying about his own identity. He decided to follow the desires of his heart and be content with his conscience.
“Haha, Tang Xuanzang, I look forward to your performance in the future…” The voice grew weaker, and in the place where the Master of the Primordial Beginning was, the space rippled, and the figure disappeared.
“Farewell, Master of the Primordial Beginning.” Tang Xuanzang saluted the place where the figure vanished.
From the side, the Monkey King also saluted, but there was a mysterious color in his eyes.
“Hehe- ” The Monkey King suddenly let out a strange laugh, not knowing what he was thinking about.
“Wukong, why are you laughing?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Get some rest, Master. You still have to go to work tomorrow.”
On this side.
After leaving Yangcheng County of Sha City, Xuanqing returned to the Taichu
Palace in the Black Wind Sacred Mountain.
“This Tang Xuanzang has already planted the seed of Black Wind Country in his heart; I wonder what his expression will be like when he sees the Peacock Dynasty.”
Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the futon with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Throughout the Primordial World, life became increasingly miserable for the common people of the human race as one moved further towards the west, excluding the Black Wind Country.
Even the Peacock Dynasty at the foot of Ling Mountain was plagued by rampant demons and monsters who would eat people. The key point was that most of these demons were actually nurtured by the Shimen.
To put it bluntly.
In the eyes of Shimen, only when ordinary people lived in misery would they develop a dependence on faith in gods and Buddhas.
Those man-eating demons were deliberately released by them, waiting to scare the common people before sending Arhats to subdue the demons and gain faith in return.
As for this behavior.
Xuanqing had contempt for it and looked down on Shimen.
In his view, it was better to let the people live a good life and have the spare energy and time to pursue inner peace in their hearts—this was true faith.
“There are still two years until the Daluo Jinxian Banquet; I should think carefully about how to walk the path of becoming a saint in the future.”
Xuanqing thought to himself.
“By the way, now that I’ve achieved the Great Luo Realm, I wonder if opening the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Intelligence can still improve enlightenment.”
Having thought about it, he took action.
“Start the two years of Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Intelligence.”
Xuanqing murmured.
[Ding.. -63.07 million Ingots!]
Before he entered the game, his daily income had already reached more than 24 billion Ingots; 63.07 million was merely a drop in the bucket.
At the moment the Ingots were deducted.
A mysterious feeling swept through his heart, and he instantly entered a state of Great Dao Nature and Unity of Heaven and Man.
It still works!
Even though his cultivation had reached the Daluo Jinxian, after opening the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Intelligence, he could still feel that his enlightenment had increased several times.
“Slaying Three Corpse, Refining Extreme Path, Competing for Merits – these are not what I want. I want to forge a completely new path.”
Xuanqing’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his entire temperament changed.
The next moment.
Under such a high level of enlightenment, he began to deduce a path that could continue to advance according to his own current situation.
Time slowly passed.
One month… two months… half a year… a year.”
A whole year passed quietly.
On this day.
Xuanqing, who was deducing the follow-up path, vaguely felt as if he had grasped something, but the feeling was not very clear.
“How exactly do I do this…”
Xuanqing’s eyebrows locked together; he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly.
His mind flashed with inspiration, and, looking at the clear sky, his heart felt a slight tremor, finally grasping the elusive inspiration just now.
