The Choice Really Did Appear
"How dare you trespass into this sacred Buddhist Order ground!"
As the sound rang out, the spiritual energy within everyone's bodies surged.
The next moment, everyone unleashed their spiritual power in a simple and direct manner.
The level of synchronization in their movements was astonishing.
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted; though surprised, he was not entirely unexpected.
If the other party still hasn't noticed something's wrong after making such a commotion, then that's really unreasonable.
However, this was precisely his purpose.
There's no way the choices will just appear out of thin air without creating some kind of situation.
However, the other party finding their own way is a good idea.
One's aura and physical form can be concealed, but one must still occupy a place in the void. When spiritual energy passes through, unless one has the ability to disguise oneself and smooth out the fluctuations in spiritual energy caused by one's own location, one will be unable to escape.
Otherwise, one could deduce the approximate location from some differences.
This method reminded him of the ultrasonic positioning he used in his previous life.
Of course, knowing this, Lu Changzhi did not take any further action to conceal it.
On the contrary, he was afraid that the other party would not be able to find the location he was sure of.
The reason for this was that he had a hunch that although the system had not detected a soul from the array base, there was definitely something controlling it within the array base.
Swish, swish, swish.
The spiritual power of several people surged in all directions, filling the space in a very short time.
With Lu Changzhi's deliberate restraint, one could easily detect the difference in the spiritual energy surrounding him with a slight sense.
Swish, swish.
Suddenly, golden light emerged from the ground and converged towards where Lu Changzhi was.
At the same time, a powerful force of will suddenly emerged from the location of the array base.
"Kid, not bad at hiding your skills, but unfortunately, it's still lacking."
A voice suddenly arose from all directions, its exact origin unknown. As the voice faded, a figure of a monk draped in a robe condensed from Buddhist light. The figure was extremely old and thin, creating a stark contrast with the powerful intent.
"Have they finally shown up?"
Lu Changzhi spoke softly, glancing at the figure of the monk.
The other party's state was rather special; it was neither pure spiritual power nor simply a soul, but rather a fusion of the two.
To be precise, it is a powerful will that has been differentiated and is capable of controlling all forces.
However, despite the other party's appearance, the system remained completely silent.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi spoke up, saying:
"Is this the kind of Buddhist Order site you speak of that is used for such filthy and depraved acts?"
As he spoke, he gently shook his head:
"If the world knew of your Buddhist Order 'Buddhist Order actions, your reputation would plummet."
As soon as the words fell, a figure spoke up:
"Naive brat, barely able to protect himself, yet he dares to make threats. He truly doesn't know his own limitations."
As his voice rang out, everyone around him mobilized their spiritual power to the limit, forming a protective circle around him. At the same time, black energy surged and emanated from his eyes, exuding an eerie feeling that sent chills down people's spines.
Faced with such power, not only does the body feel icy cold and extremely uncomfortable, but the soul also seems to tremble. The feeling is no better than the Devil Qi of the Blood Demon Clan.
However, Lu Changzhi did not react much to this.
The noise from that ghost was quite frightening.
But right now, he is merely an avatar.
At this moment, he was waiting.
As the opponent's gathered power gradually increased, a pop-up window suddenly appeared.
"The old Buddha of Buddhist Order wishes to imprison and torment your soul, and possess your External Avatar. What do you choose?"
"First, take off running and seek safety. [Reward: Saint Rank High Grade talisman - Thick Defense Swift Escape Talisman *1.]"
"Second, capture it alive and take it back to raise. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade artifact - Thought-Suppressing Movement-Stopping Collar *1]"
"Third, the Buddha's teachings will extinguish it, instilling fear. [Reward: Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Simplified Version Everywhere' upgraded to the regular version *1.]"
"So they really came out?"
Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.
From this perspective, my initial idea was correct.
Unexpected situations can easily cause the selection page to appear.
"Boy, you've seen what you shouldn't have seen; prepare for endless torment of your soul!"
The surrounding power and momentum had reached their peak.
An astonishing force pressed down, and before it even made a move, the ground around Lu Changzhi began to gradually cave in.
"Etc."
Lu Changzhi suddenly spoke.
The force paused slightly, and the other party's cold voice rang out:
"Kid, I don't leave anyone a last wish."
Lu Changzhi ignored the other person and instead looked at the options.
The other party is genuinely anxious; they shouldn't give me more time to consider things.
If you manage to eliminate the opponent in the blink of an eye, but don't get any good rewards...
It's a complete loss!
[Thick Defense Swift Escape Talisman]: A Saint Rank High Grade talisman. A composite talisman formed from two different powers, it grants the user's descendants a strong defensive protective force, preventing attacks from enemies on the exposed back during escape. It also allows for a slight tuck in of the head, further enhancing self-protection...
[Thought-Suppressing Movement-Stopping Collar]: A Saint Rank Peak Grade. Useful against those below the Saint Rank. Upon use, the wearer will experience varying degrees of suppression, unable to concentrate their willpower into attacks, and their physical strength and movement will be restricted. At full power, it can render the wearer immobile...
[Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Regular Version)]: An upgrade from the Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Simplified Version Everywhere. In terms of practicality, it has been improved from its original purely aesthetic effect to the ability to shine into the consciousness of others, interfering with their thoughts, and to project one's own spiritual power outwards as Buddhist power, thus enhancing its suppression of evil spirits and malevolent spirits...
After only glancing at the description of the talisman, Lu Changzhi immediately eliminated the first option.
As for the second and third options, there is indeed some room for deliberation.
The second collar does have some practical use, but it's not worth considering taking it home and keeping it as a pet.
What we're seeing now isn't a soul, but rather a manifestation of will. The other party could disperse it with a single thought, so forcing it wouldn't be very realistic.
As for the third one, functional improvements, the benefits are obviously greater.
However, given the current situation, there is clearly not much time for hesitation.
Lu Changzhi was well aware of this and made a decision immediately.
I just happened to get a wooden fish, and it's Saint Artifact.
Let's take it out and tap it to see how it works.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi had a sudden thought and activated the existing Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Simplified Version.
Buzz!
In an instant, a denser Buddhist light, several times more dazzling than the surroundings, shone through Lu Changzhi's robes and illuminated the space.
