146: I'm the best at making up stories

The entire Spirit Mountain trembled violently without warning.

The dilapidated ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple swayed precariously under this force.

Xuanzang, who was sitting cross-legged before the Fahai Golden Body, was now radiating a brilliant Buddhist light, his appearance solemn and majestic.

Behind him, a golden sun, condensed from endless Buddhist light, slowly rose, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day!

A compassionate, vast, and all-encompassing Buddhist Dao rhythm swept out from within him!

In one step, he comprehended the Dao!

He, Xuanzang, was the first, and currently the only, true Buddhist cultivator in this world!

Above the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Dao, like a little girl, was also incredibly excited; at this moment, the Heavenly Dao gave him a lot of Face!

Within a radius of ten thousand li, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly surged.

Like crazy, it poured back towards the Peak of Spirit Mountain.

These Spiritual Qi, the moment they approached Xuanzang, were entirely transformed into the purest Power Of Will by the Buddhist light emanating from the golden sun, surging into his Dantian.

His cultivation skyrocketed wildly.

Qi Condensation First Layer!

Qi Condensation Second Layer!

...

Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Peak!

But it wasn't over yet!

When his cultivation reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

A yellow divine light came from beyond the heavens and directly entered Xuanzang's body!

That was an earth-attribute spiritual item containing endless power of thick earth!

He didn't even need to find the attribute spiritual item himself; the Heavenly Dao directly delivered it to his door!

Inside Xuanzang's body, it was as if something shattered.

In the shadows, Lu Yuchen watched this scene.

“Oh my god…”

He was stunned.

“That little girl Heavenly Dao is too biased?!”

He remembered that when his precious Disciples were undergoing Foundation Establishment, which one of them didn't have to search for Five Elements spiritual items themselves?

How did it become “Heavenly Dao free shipping” for this kid?

This treatment was like heaven and earth!

Just as he was grumbling, the prompt sound in his mind rang out again.

【Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Xuanzang has successfully achieved Foundation Establishment!】

【Ding! Detected that the Host's Disciple Xuanzang has self-created Cultivation Techniques “Great Sun Tathagata Scripture” and “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Method”!】

【Triggered a hundredfold critical return!】

【Host gains: A hundredfold cultivation return! Cultivation slightly increased!】

【Host gains: Complete version of the Supreme Buddhist Dao Scripture “Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture”! Complete version of the Supreme Buddhist Divine Ability “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Suppressing Prison Divine Incantation”!】

“Not bad, not bad.”

Lu Yuchen's mood finally improved considerably.

...

Above the sky, the Heaven and Earth anomaly caused by Xuanzang's Breakthrough slowly subsided.

Xuanzang opened his eyes.

He felt the never-before-experienced magical power within his body, and a genuine joy and devotion appeared on his Face.

He turned around and looked at the Fahai Golden Body behind him, which was already covered in cracks, and the blurred mural of Ten Thousand Buddhas Adoring the Sect on the wall.

Then he deeply bowed to the Fahai Golden Body.

He knew that from this moment on, he would be the spokesman for this declining Buddhist Dao!

And his Revered Master would be the Fahai Arhat who bestowed upon him this supreme Buddhist affinity!

Buzz!

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the stars shifted, and he actually arrived back in that mountain of corpses and sea of blood filled with supreme demon-subduing intent!

Before him, the angry-eyed Arhat, clad in a golden kasaya and holding a zen staff, was quietly looking at him.

“Revered Master!”

Upon seeing this, Xuanzang dared not hesitate for a moment; without thinking, he directly knelt down with a “thud,” his voice excited and filled with endless reverence!

The Fahai Arhat, who was Lu Yuchen's disguise, looked at this Disciple, who had been completely fooled by him, with a “gratified” smile on his Face, and began his mostSpecialties at “making things up” great undertaking.

“Foolish child, rise.”

His voice was ancient, as if it had Transmigrationed through eons of time.

“Do you know why this world has fallen to this state?”

Xuanzang looked bewildered upon hearing this.

Lu Yuchen didn't wait for his answer and simply began to narrate the “ancient secret” he had already drafted.

“Eons ago, in this world, the Dao, Buddhist, Demonic, and Yao Race coexisted.”

“Among them, the Dao Sect was the most prosperous, with the ‘Heavenly Court’ as its supreme ruler, governing the stars of the heavens and controlling the Three Realms and Six Paths.”

“The Buddhist Sect, centered on my Western Heaven Spirit Mountain’s Great Thunderclap Temple, universally saved sentient beings and enlightened all people.”

“The Demonic Path, with Rahu Demonic Ancestor’s ‘Demonic Sea’ as its Foundation, sought to overturn the cosmos and reopen Heaven and Earth.”

“The Yao Race, with the ‘Yao Court’ established by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, sought to contend with the Heavenly Court for supremacy.”

“Ultimately, a supreme tribulation, sweeping across the entire world, erupted between the four factions!”

“That battle was earth-shattering, with the sun and moon losing their light! Immortals died, Buddhas fell, Demons perished, and Yao Race vanished!”

“The entire world was shattered, Spiritual Qi dissipated, the Great Dao collapsed, and ultimately, it evolved into today’s era of declining Dharma, where the Martial Dao flourishes.”

Lu Yuchen spoke with increasing fervor.

Xuanzang listened with a trembling heart, his mind filled with shock.

He seemed to have already seen the supreme grandeur of eons ago, with Immortals and Buddhas filling the sky, and gods and demons everywhere!

Just as his mind was agitated and lost in fantasy, Lu Yuchen's voice sounded again, bringing with it a hint of sorrowful compassion.

“Foolish child, I am Fahai, merely a wisp of remnant soul that fortunately survived that great tribulation back then.”

“Today, seeing someone with such profound Buddhist affinity as you, I manifested to impart the supreme Buddhist Dharma to you.”

“Now, this wisp of my remnant soul and true spirit are about to dissipate.”

“The heavy responsibility of revitalizing Buddhism and rebuilding the Great Thunderclap Temple is entrusted to you.”

“Are you willing?”

Xuanzang's body trembled.

He looked at the ancient Buddha who was about to “dissipate,” and his clear eyes were instantly replaced by determination and resolve!

He heavily kowtowed three times to Lu Yuchen.

“Revered Master, rest assured!”

“Disciple Xuanzang, hereby vows!”

“I will certainly dedicate my entire life to glorifying Buddhism and restoring the supreme glory of our Great Thunderclap Temple from eons ago!”

His voice was resolute.

“Good, good, good.”

“Foolish child, your Revered Master is leaving.”

“Your Revered Master has already imprinted all the boundless Buddhist Dharma within this Golden Body of mine; from now on, you must rely on yourself to slowly comprehend it…”

Leaving behind this last sentence full of supreme prestige, Lu Yuchen's figure slowly dissipated like a dream bubble.

Xuanzang's spirit also returned to reality.

He looked at the still dilapidated Fahai Golden Body before him, his eyes already completely red.

He again heavily kowtowed three times.

“Revered Master, farewell!”

A sudden change occurred.

The entire dilapidated ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple burst forth with golden light!

The walls, Buddha statues, and floor tiles, which were already covered in cracks, crazily repaired themselves.

In just a dozen breaths of time.

The entire Great Thunderclap Temple was reborn, restored to its supremely magnificent and solemn appearance from eons ago, resplendent and glorious.

As if everything that just happened was merely an illusion.

Xuanzang looked at this miraculous scene before him.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were again filled with hot tears!

He knew that this must be the last gift his Revered Master left him as his true spirit dissipated!

“Revered Master's great kindness, Disciple… will never forget it for all eternity!”

In the shadows, Lu Yuchen, seeing that this kid was truly completely fooled by him, then left.

He hid his achievements and fame.
