Desire

"Whoosh..."

Upon hearing Puzhi's answer, the practitioners in the Bookstore could no longer sit still and began to discuss it.

"Are all monks from the far west so arrogant? They actually want all living beings to submit to them? Are you kidding me?"

Even if an immortal were alive, they probably wouldn't dare say such a thing!

"I had heard before that the monks in the far west were particularly strange, and now it seems that it is true. They actually dare to dream of conquering all living beings."

"We'll wait until he comes out and then find a place to kill him." Some of the cultivators were furious.

"Let's go together. He still wants to conquer all living beings, let him experience what it's like to be conquered first."

"Count me in too."

Therefore, before Puzhi even came out, the practitioners in the Bookstore had already discussed how to ambush him.

"This won't do!" Ma Feifei said with a headache. If these cultivators really blocked Puzhi, wouldn't his mission be ruined?

"Damn it, why are you pretending for no reason? You can just think about these thoughts in your head, but you have to say them out loud in public. Laozi 'll see what you do later." Ma Feifei got angry when he saw Puzhi's pretentious attitude. If Puzhi wasn't a mission member, he would have wanted to get involved.

The Puzhi in the projection had no idea that his words had been heard by this group, nor did he know that they planned to ambush him later.

"Amitabha Buddha, if you wish to make all beings submit to you, why do you also seek to attain the supreme fruit?" the Buddha asked.

Puzhi clasped his hands together and said, "Because the Buddha is all sentient beings."

Buddha shook his head. "When one is deluded, Buddha is one with all sentient beings; when one is enlightened, all sentient beings are Buddha. Your desires and attachments are too strong."

A mocking expression appeared on Puzhi's handsome face. "Among all living beings, who is without desires and attachments? If not, this humble monk would not be standing here."

Puzhi cultivates the Method of Wish Power, which is based on the Wish Power of All Beings. The more Wish Power of All Beings he obtains, the faster his cultivation will increase.

However, the current Puzhi is divided into two: the Good Puzhi cultivates merit Power of Faith, while the Evil Puzhi cultivates desires Power of Faith deep within people's hearts.

Clearly, the Evil Puzhi's desires Power of Faith for cultivation were faster than the Good Puzhi's, causing the Good Puzhi to be suppressed deep within his heart by the Evil Puzhi.

This is sufficient proof that the power of desire in sentient beings far exceeds the power of merit.

"Amitabha Buddha," the Buddha uttered, saying, "That is why we must save all sentient beings."

Upon hearing the Buddha's words, Puzhi's mocking expression deepened. With a wave of his hand, an ordinary-looking man appeared beside him.

"This person is extremely greedy; can he be saved?"

Buddha nodded. "All sentient beings can be saved."

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shone on the ordinary man, who vanished instantly, and a projection appeared in front of Puzhi.

"Wow! Look, they've got this thing too!" the Bookstore practitioner exclaimed again.

"How can it be so magical? Is it a picture within a picture?"

"Do you think this might also be a real world?" one of the cultivators asked.

Everyone was shocked; they had never considered this possibility before.

"So, according to you, that means the person just went into another world? We saw two worlds?"

It's really hard to believe.

Not only inside the Bookstore, but also outside, the area was filled with cultivators, all staring intently at the projection.

The news spread incredibly fast. The news that the Mysterious Bookstore had released a new magical book that could transport people to another world reached the trading market across the street in an instant. For these cultivators, the distance of just one street was less than a few seconds.

As a result, the Bookstore entrance was once again packed with people, completely blocking the street.

However, due to the limited field of vision, only a small number of people can actually see the projection inside the Bookstore; most people can only hear the sound.

Inside the Bookstore, the projection continued.

Puzhi looked at the scene before him with surprise. He hadn't expected that the person in front of him would bring the person he had created into this place. Moreover, Puzhi could sense that this person, who was originally created with his Power of Faith, was no longer just a person with desires. He also possessed wisdom and the ability to think. He was practically a living person.

"Who exactly is he? Could he really be Buddha?" Puzhi glanced at the giant opposite him and wondered to himself.

The scene continues, and Puzhi sees the figure he conjured existing in that world as an ordinary person.

At a time of national crisis, the government forcibly conscripted men. Fearing death, the men tried every means to evade capture, abandoning their wives, leaving their homes, and fleeing to another country.

On his journey, the man was rescued by a kind family, but he was lusted by their daughter's beauty and Sheer Force raped her. After being discovered, he killed the entire family of three.

"This man deserves to die!" Inside and outside the Bookstore, cultivators who witnessed this scene couldn't help but curse.

"How could there be such a vicious person in the world? To treat one's own savior like this is no different from being a beast."

At this moment, the vast majority of practitioners stood on the side of justice, and their disgust for this man reached its peak.

"Bang!" Yun Qingyang, standing next to Ma Feifei, couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and said, "Let me in! I'm going to kill him!"

Ma Feifei: "..."

Seeing that Ma Feifei remained unmoved, Yun Qingyang stretched out her hand, and a spatial bag appeared in her palm. "Ten thousand Spirit Crystal, let me in."

"Wow!" Ma Feifei was genuinely surprised. In all the time he had known Yun Qingyang, he had never been able to extract a single Spirit Crystal from Yun Qingyang. He never expected that she would actually take out ten thousand Spirit Crystal just to kill someone!

"What's going on? If you're upholding justice, why would I take your money? What do you take me for? You wait here, I'll go and look into it after this is over, see if I can get in." Ma Feifei said with a righteous expression.

"But your spatial bag is really pretty, it even has flowers embroidered on it. Hmm, how many flowers are there again? Oh dear, I'm getting old, my eyesight isn't what it used to be. Let me take a closer look."

"..."

The scene continues as the man flees to a new country and is hired as a waiter at an inn.

In order to gain the shopkeeper's favor, he constantly showed off his abilities, belittled his companions, and sabotaged them, using all sorts of means to achieve his goals.

Many of his diligent companions were framed and forced to leave the inn. Those who remained followed his lead, and soon he became the inn's manager.

In order to make more money, the man began to abuse his authority to tamper with the purchase of ingredients, disregarding the safety of customers, and buying expired and rotten ingredients from outside sources to make a profit.

Time seemed to pass quickly inside; a few minutes outside felt like several years inside.

Through his efforts, the man successfully gained the innkeeper's favor. The innkeeper not only gave the inn to him but also married his daughter to him. The man not only achieved a step up in his career but also married a beautiful young woman and had a lovely daughter.

"Tsk tsk, is Heaven blind? How can someone like this have such good fortune!" The cultivators in the Bookstore were both envious and resentful upon seeing this scene.

"Yes! This kind of life is truly fulfilling for ordinary people."

"I hope he can turn over a new leaf." No one wanted to ruin such a wonderful life. Even though everyone loathed the man, they all hoped he could reform.

It's a pity.

Human desires are like that, endless. The man who achieved a little success and won the heart of the beauty began to reveal his true nature. He neglected to run the inn, spending his days in brothels, returning home drunk, and even attacking his wife and daughters at the slightest disagreement. In the end, he angered his father-in-law to death.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore showed signs of anger, especially Yun Qingyang, whose irritability could no longer be concealed.

Six months later, the inn went out of business, and the man's family went from being wealthy to being destitute.

The man remained unrepentant, spending his days idly indulging in pleasure, and beating and verbally abusing his wife and daughter when he got home. The mother and daughter suffered terribly, not only having to worry about making ends meet every day, but also enduring his brutal beatings at night.

One day, the man came home drunk and accidentally killed the mother and daughter.

"Damn it! This beast! Bring me my butcher's knife! I'm going to kill him today!"

"How can such a person live in this world? He's worse than an animal."

"Waaaah... that mother and daughter are so pitiful! They've suffered so much."

"It's all that shopkeeper's fault. He insisted on pushing his own daughter into the fire. He deserved to die."

The practitioners in the Bookstore were in an uproar.

Yun Qingyang also exploded, staring at Ma Feifei: "Are you going to let me in or not?"

Ma Feifei was startled by Yun Qingyang's murderous gaze and said, "This is just an illusion, don't take it seriously! It's all fake, fake."

"And you'll see, he'll get Punishment he deserves soon, believe me." Under Ma Feifei's reassurance, Yun Qingyang finally held back.

And indeed, just as Ma Feifei said, the man began to suffer retribution in the scene.
