Buddhist tea—A certain tea of enlightenment that contained holy energy and Daoist principles.After Alex drank it, the bones all over his body cheered in excitement. It wasn’t only the enlightenment of Buddhist cultivation. Still, the immortal Chi, ancient Buddhist intent, and the energy of Daoist principles greatly enhanced his root bones, making the path of Buddhist cultivation easier for him.Buddha.One could be a Buddha if the Buddha existed in his mind.After drinking the Buddhist tea, Alex’s mental strength doubled, and he could see this place more clearly. The surroundings were filled with Buddhist factors, which were absorbed by his body.He looked at the two rows of bookshelves.He had an eye on that multi-colored scripture at first glance. Upon seeing that book title, Alex shuddered all over. Buddhism Is Initially a Way was surprisingly written on it.Seriously?He remembered that it was a novel of some sort!Could the Grand Bodhisattva have loved reading novels?H
He shouted, and his heart raced as if he had seen a ghost.He jerked his hand away vigorously.To his surprise, not only did his hand fail to escape the grip, but he even pulled a person out of the talismans.Did the talismans become spiritual beings?“Ah?!”Alex was shocked. He slammed that person hard on the ground, to which a loud bang ensued.“Stop! Stop! It’s me! Ouch! My crotch!” that person shouted in pain.That voice sounded familiar.After taking a closer look, Alex discovered that it was an old monk—Revealer Maha.“Ah—! So it’s you, Master Maha! Why is it you who’s come out of the talisman? You freaked me out. I thought some heinous female bodhisattva came out of it... Is your crotch alright?”Alex pulled up Revealer Maha and noticed that he was covering it with one hand, his face filled with pain.When Alex pulled him and slammed him on the ground, he seemingly fell flat on the face with his crotch first to touch the ground.It should be... excruciating.Reveale
Alex’s memory of the killer weapon, Byodo, was still fresh in his mind.When he had first arrived at the Shoraionji Temple, the old monk had offered him the weapon. It allowed him to challenge Immortal Monarchs, who were far more powerful than he’d ever been, granting him victory.Such a weapon was like a guarantee of a second life.“What’s the effective time of this Talisman of Equality? How do I use it?” Alex asked.It was best that he knew the details of this critical, life-saving talisman.Maha then told Alex that he only needed to awaken the weapon with holy energy and focus on his target with mental strength. With that, his opponent’s powers would be decreased to the same level as his. The range of mental control was about 500 meters, and each talisman could only maintain its power for ten seconds.“What? Just ten seconds?”“Then what’s the use?”Alex was very disappointed. He couldn't possibly finish off an opponent on the same level as him within ten seconds.Maha sa
Alex clapped his hands. “You won’t need three days. Just deal with it today! I don’t mean to interfere,Master, but once you’re working in the Underworld, you won’t be as relaxed as you are here!”“You’ll have to learn how to act according to your boss’ mood and kiss his a*s! You have to know everything, even if your boss doesn’t. Only then will you be a qualified employee!”“So, if your superior asks for you to finish a task in three days, it actually means it’s got to be done as soon as possible! You’ve got to get the underlying message! If you really wait till the third day, your boss will think that you’re incompetent and bench you.”Maha frowned. “Are you sure?”Alex nodded. “Of course! That’s the spirit of serving... don’t you know? Modern folk have practiced it well! When you have the time, you should learn it—it’ll lead you to success.”As he spoke, Alex glanced to the other side of the hall that the golden barrier seperated.When he saw how crowded it was, Alex almost tho
Alex rolled his eyes. “Do I look like I’m crazy? These people have been robbed today, and they’re probably thinking about revenge. Do I look insane enough to give them a chance to enhance their powers?”Maha opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t know what to say. ‘Such actions… don’t they defy Buddhist principles?’However, he immediately found another excuse for Alex.‘Buddhism isn’t popular nowadays, and our disciples are scarce.’‘We’re at the verge of extinction, and Rachel is counting on him. He might be the only one that can save the Siddhartha realm.’‘Such rare potential, it’s truly right to be cautious. Besides, in order to become the best of all and rebuild the Buddhist world, his ruthlessness is needed…’‘Amitabha, I’ve said it wrong—I meant his intelligence and bravery are needed.’“I should feel proud and relieved!”Maha adjusted his posture. By clearing his thoughts, he felt uplifted, and it put him in good condition to cast his skills.This was just like wh
In the eyes of the crowd, Maha was an honorable monk. He seemed to be chanting Buddhist incantations while bathing in golden light. One of his hands pointed at the sky while the other pointed to the ground as he shouted out. A rainbow-colored cloud then landed from the skies.“Hmm?”“Master, what are you doing?”Even Alex was taken aback. He questioned him telepathically. “What are you summoning the cloud for?”Maha replied. “It’s better to put on a full act. I’m doing it for you, so these people won’t know that you’ve lied to them from the start. Even if they don’t get into the pool, in the end, they’ll still be grateful to you.”Flabbergasted by Maha’s words, Alex looked at him in disbelief.“Are you… really one of the five Revealers? Are you even slyer than me?”Maha was pissed. “And who am I trying to help here?”As the cloud landed, it burst, and a pool materialized.Within the pool, rainbow colors swirled and glowed.The trialists erupted into excitement—“It’s here,
“I’m actually touched; the genius doctor is indeed a great man!”“How could’ve I have suspected him and slandered him in secret! I’ve even loathed him and thought about killing him when I had the chance!”“I’m such a short-sighted man! He treats me better than my parents do! What’s the use of a little treasure compared to my life? It’s bulls*it!”Maha forced Alex’s acting skills out.‘Who would’ve thought that an old monk would be so talented at acting. He’s a natural!’Alex didn’t know that Maha was just busy convincing himself.“Oh no, the Underworld is collapsing. All trialists’ lives are threatened, and there’s not much time left!”“Kid, you’re a Buddhist, so I’ll have to guarantee your safety, Run. Flee before it’s too late!”“You escaping is better than all of us dying here. You don’t know them anyways—they might even come for you when they’re out!”When the trialists heard that, they almost fainted.“Master, no. Please!”“Isn’t kindness and saving lives the principles
Creating such an effect wasn’t difficult.It felt like the world was ending and death was near.A middle-aged woman was the first to jump out. She swore the oath at the quickest possible speed, following all of Alex’s requests. She shouted as she finished, “Quick, dude! You’re now my dearest brother. Send me away, please!”Alex could feel clearly that the divine power in his mind palace had changed.The woman’s oath had actually created a different kind of light in his divine power, one that looked like fine golden strings. It was as if they were somehow connected.“That shouldn’t be a bad thing!” Alex laughed to himself and immediately pulled the woman over.“Great, now I’ll open up a hole for you; this is the best I can do!”“Go now! Once you’re resurrected, make good use of your life!”Alex acted like he was trying hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood while opening a swirling passage.The woman said, “You take care too, brother! If things don't go well, leave immediatel
