Newcomers at last

In the Plane Dreamscape, Marvel Shazo had just regained consciousness when he felt a pleasant surprise.

He saw new faces, and more than one.

The first newcomer was dressed in tattered clothes, with rough, cracked skin, a hard-lined face, prominent chest muscles, and arms so thick they looked like they could run a horse.

He looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

The second newcomer, dressed in a Daoist robe, with a stubble beard and his hair tied in a bun, appeared to be an ordinary Daoist priest.

The third newcomer was also dressed in a Daoist robe, but the material was by no means of earthly creation. More importantly, this Daoist had a majestic appearance, and his whole being exuded a Daoist resonance Daoist aura, radiating awe-inspiring Kamui.

He looked like an extraordinary figure, and even the Demon Xiazhuo stared wide-eyed at him.

He stretched out his semi-transparent hand, trembling as he pointed to the third newcomer, and said in a trembling voice, "Heavens, Heavenly Tribulation! The Daoist resonance Heavenly Tribulation!"

"How is this possible? How could someone fall asleep while undergoing their heavenly Heavenly Tribulation?"

The Heavenly Tribulation Shazo's gaze swept across the area, as if a celestial sword had slashed across, or as if divine lightning from the Purple Heaven had descended from the sky. The Demon Xiazhuo was so frightened that he shrank back and became withdrawn.

Heavenly Tribulation Shazo said calmly, "It's possible. As long as you give up all your cultivation and actively step into the mortal world to undergo tribulation when you pass the Emotional Tribulation, you can do it."

"I haven't felt my cultivation level for many years. I never expected to feel it again here after failing to complete my tribulation. It's quite nostalgic."

The Shazo only half understood what the two were saying, but their curiosity was about to explode.

So Star Trek Shazo suggested, "With three newcomers arriving at once, introducing them individually would take too much time. Let's all put our hands on the table and share our memories and power."

Everyone, including the newcomers, did as instructed, and memories and power began to Flow.

Surprisingly, no massive amount of memories or power flowed out from Shazo, who claimed to be undergoing a heavenly Heavenly Tribulation.

Is he a fake big shot?

The first newcomer was transported to the post-apocalyptic world of "Fist of the Fist of the North Star" after a nuclear war.

Before the nuclear war broke out, he judged the nature of the world based on his understanding of the plot, and thus began to save himself by actively seeking powerful forces.

Now that he knew he had arrived in the Fist of the North Star World, Shazo naturally wanted to learn Fist of the North Star and say that famous line to his enemies in a cool way.

--

"Oh my gosh, what a wonderful journey!"

Then, with the air of a true man who never watches explosions, he walked away gracefully.

Unfortunately, Fist of the North Star is an assassination technique, and its lineage is extremely secretive. Shazo Zuo went to great lengths but failed to find it.

Ultimately, thanks to his decent aptitude and feigned precocious Talent, he successfully became a disciple of Nanto Seiken and mastered the Nanto Suichō Ken.

Rei, the current Eldest Senior Brother of Water Bird Fist, is a blue-haired Westerner who is deeply versed in Eastern thought and has mastered Water Bird Fist to a high level.

Rei's boxing style is fierce and gorgeous, and is said to be unparalleled in the beauty of boxing. He is the strongest of the six stars, "Yi", among the 108 Nanto Schools.

Shazo had no ambition and only sought to survive. In the post-nuclear apocalypse, he did not rise to power. Instead, he guarded a water source, built a shelter, and waited for the radioactive fallout to dissipate naturally.

He was protected by the reputation of his Eldest Senior Brother Rei, and no real experts ever came to attack him; at most, some low-level thieves would harass him.

Therefore, Shazo lived a very comfortable life after the nuclear war, and didn't even think about whether his Eldest Senior Brother Rei would be involved in the main storyline.

Until a few days ago, the devastating news arrived: to repay Kenshiro and the kindness of saving his sister, his Eldest Senior Brother resolutely challenged the Raoh.

Raoh is the final boss of the Fist of the Fist of the North Star World. Like Six Paths Madara in the Naruto World, he is an invincible powerhouse.

Rei's challenge to Leo ended in defeat, as expected.

Like Six Paths Madara, Raoh expressed his appreciation for Rei and Water Bird Fist, but showed no mercy by striking Rei's New Blood-Stopping Pressure Point.

This is the most brutal fist technique; those struck by it are certain to die, yet they can linger on for three more days, enduring the torment of despair and death.

Along with the bad news came provocations from various powerful figures.

Without the deterrent power of "Righteous Star" Rei, everyone believed that Shazo was unworthy of possessing the water source and shelter.

Misaka Shazo had completely digested her body and gotten rid of her bizarre verbal tic, but her personality remained somewhat eccentric. She was the first to exclaim, "Fist of the North Star, ah, what an ancient world! No wonder I couldn't remember who Rei was."

Marvel Shazo laughed and said, "That's true, I don't even know who the Nanto Seiken is anymore."

"But it doesn't matter. Once we're here, we don't have to worry about any provocations anymore. If we can also share Naruto Shazo's Kekkei Genkai, even Raoh probably won't be a match for you."

Naruto Shazo said, "That depends on how well the world accepts Kekkei Genkai. Raoh is the ceiling of combat power in the Fist of the North Star World, but at best, his performance is on par with the Fourth Raikage."

"From this perspective, the power ceiling of the Fist of the Fist of the North Star world isn't very high; it's hard to say how far the Kekkei Genkai can manifest."

Nanto Shazo scratched his head and asked curiously, "Didn't everyone share my memories? Actually, I'm very strong, much stronger than my Eldest Senior Brother Rei."

Shazo and the others were dumbfounded. "Huh?"

A few minutes later, Marvel Shazo blurted out, "Holy crap! Nanto Shazo, you're really strong, but you're also really—really good at lying down and doing nothing."

Nanto Shazo smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. It's the apocalypse, what's the point of fighting over this?"

"More than fighting and killing, I'm concerned about whether the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai can help me farm and harvest a few thousand more kilograms of grain."

"Of course, killing Leo to avenge my Eldest Senior Brother is also a must. If there was any risk to my life before, now I am absolutely confident that I can tear him to pieces."

"Anyway, Raoh was never capable of pacifying the chaotic world and unifying the post-apocalyptic world, so killing him won't give me any psychological burden."

The second newcomer, Shazo, is indeed a Daoist priest, a Daoist priest from the modern society of a parallel world, a legitimate Daoist priest with a Daoist certificate.

His credentials are official documents produced under the supervision of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, printed uniformly by the Daoist Association, and registered with the Provincial Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs.

Shazo is also a master's student in religious studies at Southeast University, and has a verifiable graduation certificate and bachelor's degree.

Moreover, he also has a lineage of disciples; his master is Outer Path disciple of the Maoshan sect.

Okay, tradition isn't really important.

After all, Yamamoto is a heretical sect, and our family is Outer Path to Maoshan, lacking Daoist arts, martial arts skills, and medical knowledge.

However, the Maoshan exorcism techniques have been passed down to many people.

However, as is widely known, the creation of spirits was prohibited after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Without demons and monsters, the so-called demon-exorcising methods have no chance of being verified and cannot be relied upon at all.

Therefore, Shazo's lineage only inherited the Daoist profession, which is to perform Daoist rituals and ceremonies.

The grand and prestigious rituals like the Luotian Grand Communion and the Zhoutian Grand Communion cannot be performed; they are monopolized by Mount Wudang and Mount Longhu.

What one can do at home is the "spiritual ritual," also known as the "yin ritual" or "ritual for the deceased."

In layman's terms, it's about performing rituals, chanting sutras, and offering prayers for the dead; you don't earn much money that way.

But it has to be said that being a Daoist priest is much more comfortable than being a corporate slave.

Although the money earned wasn't much, it was enough to cover clothing, food, and support my master, and also to save money for travel—oops, I mean, to travel the world.

When Shazo's master passed away peacefully, Shazo lived a carefree life, enjoying life to the fullest.

Shazo was quite content with having no pressure, but unknowingly he cultivated something real and became detached from worldly desires, finding great peace of mind in his daily cultivation.

The unexpected outcome was so sudden and caught everyone off guard.

Last year, feeling restless, he set off to travel without a penny to his name, spending the entire year wandering around the country.

When Shazo finally returned home after his intense activity, he discovered that his home was gone.

The Daoist temple, passed down through generations, was raided by the Buddhist Association and turned into some pathetic, worthless Puji Temple!!

Monk? Bah! Bald donkey!

This is outrageous!!

In both his lives, Shazo Zuodao had never suffered such humiliation.

Even if you earned a pittance in your past life, it was still a real and tangible way to make money.

Daoist Master never swallowed his anger; he rolled up his sleeves and started cursing!

Shazo cursed from the foot of the mountain to the top, from the gate to the meditation room, until both the real and fake monks cowered in fear, none daring to meet him.

Even as darkness fell, Shazo refused to give up, blocking the Mountain Gate and continuing to curse until he was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, which led him to the Plane Dreamscape.

Having perhaps vented his anger, the Taoist Shazo appeared quite calm. He bowed and said, "Amitabha! I never expected to have such an opportunity. It seems that the fortune of my Daoist sect is unbroken, allowing me to continue the lineage of Maoshan."

But in his next sentence, the Taoist Shazo gave himself away. "Very well, this humble Daoist senses the power."

"Once the Daoist priest wakes up, we'll smash that shitty signboard and those Buddha and Bodhisattva statues!"

Marvel Shazo swallowed hard and advised, "You're a religious person, isn't it inappropriate to smash someone's Buddha statue?"

Taoist Shazo Zuo sneered, "Perfect, perfect! Those damned Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, aren't they all traitors to my Daoism!"

"If I smashed their clay figurines, even the Three Pure Ones would give me a thumbs up!"

"Before, I couldn't beat those Security Guard by myself, so I could only mutter a few complaints. Now that I can take on a hundred of them, of course I'll use my fists to reason with them!"

"Our Daoism lineage believes that as long as one has the ability, one will never compromise oneself."

"Otherwise, if my thoughts are not clear and my Dao heart is unstable, what's the point of cultivating the Dao!"

Star Trek Shazo asked, "Isn't your society modern? Shouldn't you be detained for assault?"

Taoist Shazo didn't seem to care. "Hitting someone will definitely get me detained, but I don't even plan to have children, so being detained is just like going to eat a few days' worth of government food."

The third newcomer, Shazo, who looked like a big shot, nodded in agreement. "That's exactly right. If I want to smash something, then I should smash it; if I want to fight something, then I should fight."

"After they've smashed and looted everything, it's only natural and reasonable for the government to impose fines."

"This is also the Way."

The Shazo were completely confused and needed to carefully recall the elder's memories before they could vaguely understand anything.

The Taoist Shazo Zuo listened intently, nodding repeatedly, as if he had grasped something extraordinary.

Just as the Demon Xiazhuo had predicted, the third newcomer Shazo, was indeed a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcendence.

He was the second Shazo to transmigrate to the Cultivation World. Through his own efforts in cultivating martial arts, and after countless hardships, battles, and efforts, Shazo finally seized an unparalleled opportunity and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul Deity Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Mahayana, Tribulation Transcendence —this journey took a full seven thousand years. Shazo finally achieved perfect cultivation and faced the Heavenly Tribulation of Immortality.

However, in the final stage before he was about to Tribulation Transcendence and become an immortal, he encountered the most terrifying Emotional Tribulation, and willingly suffered a major setback.

But the Shazo Zuos shared the boss's memories and saw the Succubus seducing him, leaving them speechless.

This is definitely an insurmountable hurdle.

The Marvel Shazo, who had recently tasted the pleasures of Succubus and was still able to ruthlessly Teuchi Melissa with his own hands, felt this most deeply.

He sighed, "Indeed, the stunningly beautiful, curvaceous, and alluring Succubus was just a fake Succubus."

"The real Succubus —the real Succubus is him."

The big boss Shazo smiled. His smile was so innocent, devoid of any air of otherworldly wisdom, like a child illuminated by the light of ideals.

He said with a look of longing, "He called me 'comrade'."

"He called me 'comrade,' how could I refuse?"

"To be able to follow him in his 31 years of struggle, saving the nation from collapse and rebuilding the nation's destiny after 8,000 years of history—"

"If I'm lucky enough to have a chance to roam the 38th Parallel parallel, I'd be willing to die for it."

"What's a few decades later to become an immortal?"

The Demon Xiazhuo was no longer afraid; his eyes and heart were filled with uncontrollable envy and jealousy.

He sighed deeply, "Alas, I could die content then. Why can't I have such luck?"

The powerful Shazo quickly composed himself, regaining his composure, and calmly stated, "During my tribulation, both my power and my mental abilities were sealed."

"I can't offer any power in this sharing, and the memories being shared are all sealed. On the contrary, I've received a lot of benefits from everyone. I truly feel ashamed."

Demon Xiazhuo waved his hands repeatedly. "We are the same person, there's no need to feel guilty."

"Moreover, we have already obtained the greatest benefit. Your Tribulation Transcendence stage realm itself represents an improvement in your life's status, which is an invaluable gain that cannot be bought with a thousand pieces of gold."

"Although different worlds will experience different manifestations, everyone will reap unimaginable benefits."

The powerful Shazo was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Perhaps so. My cultivation level before the tribulation was too high, and I had long been accustomed to a superior perspective, making it difficult for me to calm down again."

"With my power sealed, my mental capacity is severely impaired, and I can no longer understand such questions."

"No matter what, I'm no longer worthy of being called a big shot, after all, the real big shot, Shazo, might arrive later."

"If you want to differentiate, you can call me Heavenly Tribulation Shazo."

"I doubt there will be anyone as Luck as me, someone like Shazo who would willingly enter the mortal world to experience tribulations."
