In the afternoon, Ling Yi arrived at the entrance of a supermarket, following the address given by Tang Sanzang.
According to Tang Sanzang, the owner of this supermarket was a time traveler.
Although Tang Sanzang said he didn't know the man's original identity, Ling Yi didn't completely believe Tang Sanzang.
Ling Yi had clearly told the other party that the person he was framing might face unpredictable consequences.
Without a second thought, Tang Sanzang gave out the person's address. It was obvious that this person had a grudge against Tang Sanzang.
Although the supermarket is not large, West City inside is arranged in an orderly and very clean manner, making people feel very comfortable.
It's clear that the owner of this supermarket is a very meticulous person.
Ling Yi had Xiao Ling investigate this person's information. Although there was no concrete evidence, Ling Yi had some guesses about this person's identity.
One of Tang Sanzang's four disciples, originally the Curtain-Lifting General of Heavenly Court, Sha Wujing, who ate Tang Sanzang's nine reincarnations in the Flowing Sand River Sha Seng.
Looking at the tall, thin man with a square mouth and wide ears in front of him, Ling Yi did not immediately use his cheat ability.
Instead, he directly asked Sha Seng, " Sha Seng, what is your Obsession?"
Sha Seng, who was arranging goods on the shelf, suddenly froze upon hearing Ling Yi's words.
After a long pause, he looked at Ling Yi and said with a simple smile, "Amitabha, this humble monk is devoted to Buddhism and only wishes to follow my the Final Master to complete the great vow of obtaining the scriptures as soon as possible."
Ling Yi immediately lost his temper. "Are you kidding me? How many people in the Journey to the West team are truly willing to embark on the Journey to the West?"
Tang Sanzang had completely given up and was just waiting to die.
If the Houzi hadn't been bound by the golden headband, and hadn't been schemed against Tathagata the Buddha, how could he have possibly followed Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West?
Zhu Bajie )? That guy is even worse; he's probably enjoying himself in some brothel right now, oblivious to everything else.
Journey to the West?... is a journey to find ghosts.
As for Sha Seng? Like Monkey King and Brother Monkey, he was an unlucky fellow who was Tathagata against by the Jade Emperor and Zhu Bajie, and then abandoned by the Heavenly Court. If he had other options, why would he have sincerely gone on the pilgrimage?
How could Sha Seng utter such hypocritical words with such a pious yet laughable expression?
Passive Obsession Aura System:
It devours the Obsession of a designated target and automatically generates Second Primordial Spirit.
Second Primordial Spirit (Not yet activated!)
Level: 0 (Unlocked with 0/100 Obsession Points!)
Obsession Points: 0
Primordial Spirit Skills:
1. Separation from the body: The Primordial Spirit leaves the body, roams freely in the world, untouched by Myriad Arts, and unaffected by Karma.
2. Cultivation: The Primordial Spirit can Automatic Cultivation any cultivation technique without any restrictions.
(Other features to be unlocked!)
System Shop: Can be opened by consuming 500 Obsession Points.
This is Ling Yi's true cheat code, and also the Subsystem of the passive aura generation.
The reason Ling Yi hadn't used it was twofold: firstly, Ling Yi had always thought this world was just an ordinary world and felt it was unnecessary.
Secondly, Ling Yi has not yet found a suitable target.
Ling Yi was reluctant to take action against ordinary people; who knew what kind of impact his Obsession would have on others after it was consumed?
Of course, the first point is the main one, which is unnecessary.
But things are different now. After learning about the existence of reverse time travelers in the Journey to the Journey to the West World, Ling Yi felt a sense of crisis.
Ling Yi glanced at Sha Seng again, thinking to himself, "Today I'll use you to give the Golden Finger his first taste of meat."
"Target locked, Obsession Devouring!"
Within the system, the Obsession Points increased by 100, just enough to unlock the Second Primordial Spirit.
At Ling Yi's command, Sha Seng, who had been grinning, suddenly became expressionless.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses, but his expression was noticeably more dejected.
Ling Yi probed again, " Sha Seng, your the Final Master Tang Sanzang has completely given up on the Journey to the Journey to the West and has now returned to secular life. What's the point of your persistence in the Journey to the Journey to the West?"
"I believe the Final Master won't give up," Sha Seng said, taking a deep breath.
He then looked at Ling Yi and said, "I know you. Your name is Ling Yi. These past two days, there's been a lot of news about you and White Bone Skynet, but I didn't expect you to be no A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality either."
"Since you've colluded with that demon, White Bone, you're probably no good either. If Eldest Senior Brother finds out, you'll definitely suffer the consequences."
"I don't believe it!" Ling Yi shook his head in disappointment. It seemed that even after Sha Seng lost his Obsession, he hadn't been affected at all, and was still as... hypocritical as ever!
Sha Seng's Obsession was roughly the same as Ling Yi's guess.
After completing the Journey to the Journey to the West and joining Buddhist School to attain enlightenment, to put it bluntly, the Heavenly Court no longer wanted him, and he desperately needed Buddhist School as his backing.
Everyone Obsession, and more than one, though some are stronger than others.
It's like wanting to be rich, wanting a gentle and lovely wife, wanting a happy family, wanting to possess supreme power...
Obsession is the latter kind of yearning that one's heart desires to a certain degree... a plea? Or perhaps a hope?
Ling Yi was somewhat curious. Was this the only Obsession Sha Seng had? What would a person become if they had no Obsession?
Thinking of this, Ling Yi grinned at Sha Seng Wujing and used the Obsession Devouring on him three times in a row.
[ Obsession Points 80.]
[ Obsession: To find a way back to the Journey to the Journey to the West World.]
[ Obsession Points 60.]
[ Obsession Content: To restore cultivation level and increase strength.]
[ Obsession Points 50.]
[ Obsession Content: To maintain a low profile and protect oneself, avoiding involvement with any faction.]
After Obsession Devouring three times, Sha Seng had undergone a noticeable Changes. He looked more dejected, as if all his energy had been drained. He slumped into his chair and listlessly started fiddling with his phone.
This state is almost exactly the same as Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West) attitude of lying down and giving up.
Without Obsession, it's equivalent to having no pursuit at all; isn't that just lying down and giving up?
Once a person loses their Obsession, they are basically useless. After all, a person must have some pursuit in life.
After leaving Sha Seng's place, Ling Yi returned to his car to go home, just as White Bone made a phone call.
" Great Ming, is there something you need?" Ling Yi said as he started the car.
"There's a dating reality show, would you like to participate?" White Bone asked.
Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and chuckled, "You want to create a CP (couple pairing) with me? No interest!"
"I'm just participating in a show, and I'll take this opportunity to clarify our relationship. There are quite a few beautiful women on the show!"
"Not interested!"
"Don't rush to refuse. This is beneficial to both of us. On one hand, it can help you gain fame and gather Power of Faith to quickly improve your cultivation. On the other hand, it can help both of us completely get rid of this public opinion crisis."
Ling Yi scoffed. Did he care about public opinion?
This so-called public opinion crisis is not difficult to resolve for either White Bone or Ling Yi.
Why insist on using this most troublesome method?
These White Bone are probably there for some ulterior motive.
"To be honest!"
"The mastermind behind this is Tathagata. He sent Guanyin to the Ancient Country to prepare for the revival of Buddhism Ancient Country."
Ling Yi sent a command to Xiao Ling on his phone, then casually replied again, "This has nothing to do with me, right?"
" Ling Yi, I understand your wariness, but you must understand one thing: once Buddhist School revives in the East, you, me, and everything in this world will be controlled by Buddhist School."
"The Buddha's ambitions Tathagata too great; we absolutely cannot allow him to succeed. Even if you have the means to avoid Conversion Buddhist School, do you want to see the streets filled with bald heads one day?"
"Now, no one can restrain Tathagata's power. If it weren't for his fear of the Karma within the Calamity, he would probably have come to the East long ago."
" Guanyin has come here for two reasons: first, to spread Buddhism, and second, to restart the Journey to the West."
"Reviving Buddhism is unlikely to be effective in the short term. After all, modern people, especially modern Easterners, do not have much reverence for Buddhism, so they will not easily believe in it fully."
"But if Buddhist School successfully restarts the Journey to the Journey to the West, that would be a disaster for the mortal realm."
Ling Yi shrugged and asked, "What does that have to do with whether I go on the show or not, or whether I clarify our relationship?"
" Guanyin appeared on this program."
Ling Yi was a little confused. "You just said this is a dating show, right?"
"Yes, this is a dating show, but there's no conflict between dating and being a Buddhist, right?"
"Is there no conflict?"
"There's no conflict; even Buddhist School has the Joyful Chan style!"
All this talk about White Bone is just a ploy to drag themselves down with them!
However, Ling Yi did become interested. Guanyin falling in love was a bit far-fetched, but Ling Yi really wanted to see it.
Moreover, Ling Yi was very clear about one thing: since he had used his cheat ability, he would inevitably need a large number of Obsession Points.
And if we're talking about those with the deepest Obsession, they're probably the Buddhist School monks who are single-mindedly focused on restarting the Journey to the West.
He had just swindled 290 Obsession Points from Sha Seng, using 100 Obsession Points to upgrade the system and 100 Obsession Points to activate his Second Primordial Spirit.
The Second Primordial Spirit can only be activated after upgrading the system, so Ling Yi now only has 90 Obsession Points left.
The Second Primordial Spirit is currently cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Art within the Primordial Spirit space.
This Second Primordial Spirit is indeed a bug; it instantly mastered the techniques as soon as it began cultivating, but it only mastered the techniques themselves.
To convert it into strength, one needs to consume Obsession Points. Ling Yi Ling Yi is not yet clear about the exact consumption, but he currently only has 90 Obsession Points left, which he has already spent.
Ling Yi guessed that the Obsession Points were not used to exchange for cultivation time for the Second Primordial Spirit, but rather the Obsession Points were directly Hua Wei Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
After all, without the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth, even the most powerful cultivation techniques are useless.
Of course, the Power of Faith is an exception.
But would Ling Yi dare to absorb the Power of Faith from the modern world?
As the White Bone said, people's beliefs are extremely diverse and unstable.
Even the Power of Faith absorbed by Buddhist School is probably not as pure as the White Bone described.
In modern times, whether in the East or the West, how many people truly believe in Buddhism?
Tathagata performed many miracles in the West, acknowledging the Buddha is one thing, but believing in him is another.
At this moment, Ling Yi suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Doesn't Buddhist School have methods for Conversion? If the Tathagata Conversion ordinary people, wouldn't he have a large number of believers?"
White Bone took a deep breath and said, "You asked a very clever question."
