A month later, Tang Sanzang Dream Entry and finished the entire Journey to the Journey to the West story at a rate of one episode per day.
Because the Tang Sanzang and the Houzi in this world are based on the 1986 Journey to the West, Ling Yi is showing the Tang Sanzang this version of Journey to the West.
There are 25 episodes in total.
However, this Tang Sanzang was not as pedantic as depicted in the TV series; on the contrary, he was quite intelligent.
The title of "First Holy Monk of the Great Tang" was not given lightly.
He had Photographic Memory from a young age, Proficiency Buddhism, and often debated with monks from various schools on Buddhist doctrines, never losing a single debate.
At this point, Tang Sanzang still took the Buddhist teachings very Buddhist School.
For example, although the monks at Spirit Mountain are cunning and ruthless, they are ultimately capable, and the Buddhist teachings they compile naturally contain some substance.
How can Buddhism, which cannot deceive people, be popularized? And if it cannot be popularized, how can people be made to believe in Buddhism?
Tang Sanzang was brainwashed at Jinshan Temple for over twenty years, and with the deliberate guidance of the Buddhist School, he naturally became very devout to "Buddha".
They also strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of Buddhist School.
But ever since Dream Entry of Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang's heart has been unable to find peace.
At first, he thought it was a story he was "seeing," but now he understands that what he was "seeing" was probably about his past and future, and all the causes and effects of his Karma.
As for whether it is true or not, we only need to verify it.
After " Dream Entry " and finishing the last episode, Tang Sanzang had a perfect version of the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art in his mind!
Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, or more accurately, he was Tathagata reincarnated by Buddha.
Strictly speaking, Jin Chanzi is gone. The ten Reincarnation not only laid the foundation for Tang Sanzang as the vessel for the Journey to the West Calamity, but also erased the imprint of Jin Chanzi.
If it weren't for Jin Chanzi's final Obsession turning into a demon within Tang Sanzang's soul, Jin Chanzi would have completely disappeared in every sense of the word.
When Tang Sanzang's Buddhist heart begins to waver, that is when his inner demons Resurrection.
But this inner demon is not meant to eliminate Tang Sanzang, but rather to transfer Jin Chanzi's Obsession to Tang Sanzang, or rather, to return it to Tang Sanzang.
"I see, Amitabha!"
Having acquired this Obsession, Tang Sanzang, who originally had a kind and benevolent appearance, inexplicably gained a sinister air.
Although her face hasn't changed, her demeanor is completely different from before.
"No matter who you are, no matter what your purpose is, this humble monk will remember this kindness."
Tang Sanzang didn't understand cultivation, but Jin Chanzi did. Even a single Obsession contained the experience Jin Chanzi had accumulated over countless years.
After reading the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art, Jin Chanzi knew that it was an extraordinary technique that could at least allow him to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Primordial Unity Middle Daluo Golden Immortal Perfection Realm of the Quasi-Sage realm.
You should know that Tathagata himself only reached this level of attainment.
"That Bodhi is Zhunti Clone of Zhunti, who taught the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Formula to the Houzi. It had a flaw, but no one knows who forcibly filled it in."
"The old cultivation methods are no longer viable, but this Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art is perfect for us now."
As for what kind of schemes or plots were involved, now was not the time for him to think about those things.
He didn't want to be as pathetic as he saw in his dream, and he didn't want to become a pawn manipulated by Buddhist School.
"Amitabha Buddha, World Honored One, let this humble monk return to Spirit Mountain before we debate the Dharma!"
After saying that, Tang Sanzang began to cultivate the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Formula.
Tang Sanzang made no attempt to hide his cultivation. After gaining enlightenment, Tang Sanzang knew that he was the only indispensable part of the Journey to the West Calamity.
Moreover, after ten lifetimes of Reincarnation, he has now reached the final stage, the Calamity Perfection, and Tang Sanzang will no longer have the possibility of Reincarnation again.
Even if Tang Sanzang wanted to die now, he probably couldn't.
Countless Kami were watching him, so since he couldn't hide it, he might as well not try to hide it at all.
If any benefactor dares to speak loudly to him, he will simply explode on the spot, and even the Kami will not be afraid.
The moment Tang Sanzang began his cultivation, it immediately caused an uproar among the gods and Buddhas hidden all around.
Fine, you can practice cultivation, but it's not even Buddhist School cultivation methods.
The Western Spirit Mountain, the Heavenly Court Hall of Divine Soaring, the Demon Clan and Devil Clan of Western Continent of Cattle, and all the forces watching the Journey to the West Calamity, all learned in an instant that Tang Sanzang had begun his cultivation.
The Tathagata didn't even blink, only saying, "Let him go, no need to pay attention!" and then said nothing more.
The Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court simply said "Good," instructed the Thousand-Mile Eyes and the Wind-Following Ears to keep a closer eye on Jinshan Temple, and then paid no further attention to it.
Considering what Taibai Jinxing encountered before, it's likely that this Journey to the West Calamity will not be as smooth as Buddhist School imagines.
But what does this have to do with the Heavenly Court? The Buddhist School, taking advantage of the Calamity set by the Heavenly Dao, Wuji seizing the Human Clan's Karmic Luck, accumulating the Merit the Calamity, and it is highly likely that it is Tathagata who will ultimately Tathagata a saint.
Even though the various factions—immortals, demons, monsters, humans, Daoists, and ghosts—did not say anything about this matter, they were extremely dissatisfied and wished that the Calamity would go wrong.
With Tang Sanzang facing such a serious problem, countless people are probably Yinyin hoping for something.
Ling Yi was unaware that Tang Sanzang had gone off-topic; at that moment, he was strolling Chang'an City.
The Journey to the West will not begin for about four years, and Ling Yi doesn't plan to do anything during that time.
He already possesses the strength he has now, reaching the mid-stage of the Primordial Unity Middle Daluo Golden Immortal. While not invincible, his lifespan is virtually limitless.
If he chooses to play it safe, he can play it safe forever.
But Ling Yi knew very well that hiding was not an option.
Based on Ling Yi's understanding of the Primordial World.
After the Journey to the West Calamity comes the Demon-Buddha Calamity, which is the last Great Calamity of the Primordial World.
From this point on, powerful beings ceased to appear, cultivators retreated into seclusion, and the world gradually entered the Dharma-ending Age. This world would then be completely transformed into a prison sealed by the Heavenly Dao Sealing.
No matter which version of the Myth World it is, no matter how glorious it was in the past, the final outcome is... the end of Dharma.
The Dharma-ending Age, a prison—is this the ultimate pursuit of the Heavenly Dao?
But this is not what Ling Yi wanted to see.
"Then let's start by stopping the Journey to the West Calamity!"
At this moment, Ling Yi had already entered a restaurant, which was also one of his businesses. The restaurant mainly served stir-fries and hot pots, dishes that did not exist in this era.
Not only in Chang'an City, but throughout the entire Great Tang, Ling Yi's Ling Clan Chain Restaurants were extremely famous, truly making a fortune every day.
Ling Yi's current net worth is comparable to that of a country.
However, Ling Yi is a low-key person, and apart from a few people in the palace and a handful of people around him, not many people know Ling Yi's true identity.
Zhang Fu, that traitor, is dead. He was secretly killed by Buddhist School monks, his soul scattered and he didn't even have a chance to Reincarnation.
Ling Yi hadn't expected the Buddhist School monks to be so irritable, not even bothering to question Soul Search, or perhaps they simply disdained to do so.
They were just ants, but disturbing Tang Sanzang was a capital offense.
However, the Buddhas who protect Jinshan Temple now realize that Zhang Fu seems to have died too young.
They had all witnessed Tang Sanzang's Changes, and Tang Sanzang Changes began after the great fire. If Zhang Fu had been kept alive, they might have been able to extract some information from him.
However, the Buddha Tathagata Spirit Mountain didn't care much about this matter, simply saying, "Let it go, there's no need to concern yourself with it." Naturally, these Buddhas didn't bother with it.
Not long after Ling Yi sat down, two middle-aged men dressed in magnificent brocade robes and with extraordinary bearing walked up to him and sat down.
"Hey Li Er, why aren't you staying in the palace? Why are you out here again? Don't try to persuade me to take up an official post, or we'll be sworn brothers."
Ling Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the two of them.
"Brother Ling Yi, I just don't understand. What's wrong with serving in the court? You are a man of great talent and should have achieved much more. But engaging in commerce is a lowly and unworthy pursuit."
"Besides, I haven't even entered the court as an official yet, and that old scoundrel Changsun is already guarding against me like I'm nothing. If I really become an official, won't he be targeting me every day?"
"Isn't it all because you ruined Zhangsun Chong's marriage?"
"Didn't I tell you? It's consanguineous marriage. The facts are right in front of us, and he still won't admit it. Is that just refusing to admit it? He's afraid that once I enter the court, I'll steal his limelight and threaten his power."
"Furthermore, during the year I was away from Chang'an, he suppressed 60% of the business. If I hadn't already prepared a backup plan, he probably would have all the business by now."
" Li Er, don't tell me you didn't see what that old bastard was doing. But what did you do? You didn't do anything. I know exactly what you were thinking."
"Ahem!" Li Er coughed twice, his face slightly red.
"So what if I have my own little schemes? Just look at your businesses, aren't they all enviable?"
"Haven't I given you enough dividends? You bastards, have you no shame? You're all insatiable! If you get angry, I'll just shut everything down and everyone can go home."
"No, no, no, I haven't even made a move yet. I've already sent Zhangsun Wuji home to retire. No one can touch your business."
Ling Yi scoffed, "That Zhangsun Wuji is just a scapegoat."
The man before them was none other than Emperor Li Shimin of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the man beside him was Li Jing, the God of War of the Great Tang.
Speaking of which, wasn't Li Jing the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King in Heavenly Court?
Ling Yi was a little confused before, but now Ling Yi can see that this Li Jing and the Li Jing in the Heavenly Court are the same person, but not the same person.
To be precise, this is the reincarnation of Li Jing in Heavenly Court.
In the Journey to the Journey to the West storyline, after Son Goku Wreaking Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor dealt with a group of people in the Heavenly Court.
After Sha Seng and Tianpeng were successively banished to the mortal realm, Li Jing and other people close to the Buddhist School were also punished one by one by the Jade Emperor.
Li Jing was simply thrown down to be Reincarnation by the Jade Emperor for some random excuse.
Moreover, Reincarnation more than once, and in this life he just happened to become Li Jing God of War of the Great Tang Dynasty.
" Ling Yi, I wonder where you've been all year? You seem different from before."
Seeing Li Er's curious and tentative gaze, Ling Yi's heart stirred slightly, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.
"Hehe, I've had a stroke of good fortune, and now I've acquired the art of avoiding the three calamities and the method of Longevity and Immortality."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Is it really true?"
Ling Yi didn't waste any words. With a wave of his hand, he and Li Shimin disappeared, leaving Li Jing was eavesdropping nearby, dumbfounded.
My emperor is gone? I don't know what to do. Should I send someone to investigate, or wait and see?
Forget it, let's just wait and see. He's a celestial being; even if we send someone to investigate, what could they possibly find out?
Could it be that Ling Yi really took the emperor to cultivate immortality? Why didn't he take me with him?
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already led Li Shimin to stand on a cloud above Chang'an.
Li Shimin peered down through the clouds and felt a wave of dizziness. This was the first time he had ever looked down upon the entire Chang'an City from such an angle.
"Your Majesty, do you desire to Longevity a long and prosperous life, as long as heaven and earth?"
