I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 568 From this day forward, you are Tang Sanzang!
"???" The boy's face turned pale and then red, and his finger trembled slightly as he pointed to himself and said:

"So, my destiny is actually that of Tang Sanzang?"

Hearing the extreme lack of confidence in the boy's words, Feng Xue nodded and said:

"Otherwise what? Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, guess what my destiny is?"

The young man raised an eyebrow. Normally, he wouldn't have guessed this, but since they'd already said so, then...

"Erlang Shen? Shoushan Taibao?"

"Pah!" Feng Xue rolled her eyes, then suddenly reached out and pulled out a bunch of nanounits. With a wave of her hand, they transformed into a golden cudgel.
"I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Wow!" The boy's eyes lit up instantly, but then he said with a hint of helplessness:
"Even the Great Sage has come out, and I couldn't save him. I really am not Tang Sanzang..."

"Oh, you silly child, why are you so stubborn?"

Feng Xue flicked the boy on the forehead and said:
"Who said we had to be rescued from the mountains? You need to consider the imagery. Do you understand imagery? What is a mountain? It's a cage that traps people. The so-called 'taming the monkey under the Five Elements Mountain' is a process of calming the mind. I'm already the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but I have no way forward, so I'm trapped. You appeared, and I have a way to go again. I can travel west! Haven't you rescued me from my trap? Now we're heading west together to seek the true scriptures. Doesn't that elevate our destiny?"

"But...but..." The boy was completely bewildered by this theory, but in order to change this terrible fate, he had consulted many books and naturally knew that Tang Sanzang's fate required him to be a monk. He immediately said, "I never thought about becoming a monk! Besides...where are the scriptures? Where is the Western Paradise? The scriptures in India are not as complete as those here! We can't get them even if we go!"

"Superficial!" Feng Xue waved her hand dismissively, pointing randomly without regard for direction.

"This scripture is not that scripture! The Western Paradise? It's just a name. You know Zhuangzi's 'Free and Easy Wandering,' right? From the Northern Sea to the Southern Sea. Is the Northern Sea in the north? Is the Southern Sea in the south? No! That's just a conceptual idea, understand? A scripture is a book that records principles. What is the greatest principle in this world? It's power! So what we need to obtain is not the 'Buddhist scripture' that records the words of those bald monks, but the 'martial scripture' that records power! We'll fight our way through! We'll steal all the good stuff those mystical guys have hidden away... ugh! Take it all!"

"This...is that right?" The boy was dumbfounded by Feng Xue's words, but who was Feng Xue? Loki!
Seeing the boy's confusion, he immediately said:
"What's wrong with that? That's absolutely right! I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! I'm just missing Tang Sanzang to accompany me on this journey to the West. As long as you follow me and embark on this righteous path of 'journey to the West,' the bad luck in your destiny will be transformed into resources for your growth! With each tribulation you overcome, your journey to the West will become more solid! Once we've plundered... uh, collected all the martial arts manuals in the world, you'll be a living treasure trove of martial arts! When you return to Chang'an and translate the martial arts manuals, what bad luck? What usury? It's all bullshit!"

Seemingly stunned by Feng Xue's description of a "glorious future," or perhaps because the past decade or so had been truly disheartening, the boy was immediately captivated by the bright prospects when the opportunity to escape his bad luck was presented to him... oops! It was an epiphany!
He looked at Feng Xue's confident and handsome face, then glanced at the two powerful martial arts masters in the distance who were fighting so fiercely that the street was filled with the roar of battle and everyone was watching, and then thought about his own miserable life of the past ten years...

A fierce determination, driven by an intense desire to change his fate, surged into his mind!

"Done!" The boy scrambled to his feet, wiping away his tears and snot. His eyes shone with an unprecedented light, still tinged with timidity, but more so with a resolute determination to go all out.

"Brother! I'll follow you! Let's go on the pilgrimage! Let's steal... uh, let's seek the martial arts manual! As long as we can escape this damned fate, I'll brave mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

"Good! That's bold! I like people with ambition!" Feng Xue laughed heartily, patted the boy's shoulder forcefully, and said with a smile:
"Very good, but there's still one problem—"

"What?" The boy's previously fiery heart suddenly skipped a beat, followed by a hint of worry—

"This guy, is he a lecturer?" "Nothing, you still haven't told me your name! By the way, my name is Feng Xue, Bingma Feng, Yuxu Xue."

Upon hearing Feng Xue's words, the boy's initial wariness vanished instantly, and he scratched his head, saying:
"My name is Chen Xuan..."

"What a wonderful name! Tang Sanzang's secular surname was also Chen! Your destiny is incredibly stable! Let me also give you a Buddhist name, so that when you travel, you'll be known as Tang Sanzang!"

"Ah...we're going to retrieve the Tripitaka Martial Scripture?" Chen Xuan clearly didn't understand Feng Xue's meaning. Feng Xue simply smiled and said:

"No, he is an unparalleled powerhouse who can bury the heavens, bury the earth, and bury all living beings!"

"Hiding the heavens, hiding the earth, hiding all living beings? The heart embraces all things? What a wonderful concept! I'll drink to that!" The flame in the young man's heart had never burned so brightly, to the point that Feng Xue began to suspect that this Loki godhood might be somewhat poisonous.

However, he wasn't the type to kill without burying the dead. Since he had borrowed the little devil's destiny to help him, he naturally had to help him plan for a future!
However, Chen Xuan obviously didn't have such thoughts. Or rather, in this world, it's normal to travel around in order to change one's fate. There are quite a few people who start traveling around at the age of ten to change their fate, let alone an eighteen-year-old like him!
"I'll go back and pack up now! I'll say goodbye to my neighbors!"

Hearing Chen Xuan say this, Feng Xue nodded and said:
"That's only right. We'll meet here again at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"No problem!" Chen Xuan readily agreed and left the manhole cover of fate with hopeful steps.

Feng Xue replaced the manhole cover and then headed towards a hotel he had seen earlier. He wasn't worried about Chen Xuan not coming, since he wasn't in a hurry. If Chen Xuan didn't come, he could just find another unlucky guy to "train".

However, he didn't understand this world very well, so he released Fina and Sara, who had been united for quite some time.

"Phew, finally out!" Fina stretched her body forcefully, then turned to look at Feng Xue warily:
"What? Are you going to make me sleep with you in bed?"

"Dream on!" Feng Xue rolled her eyes and sent her a world map via her terminal:

"I'm going on a trip soon, and you're probably tired of being around me. So this time, I'll let the two of you go out and have some fun on your own. You can also help me scout ahead, spread some nanounits, and record any problems you encounter along the way..."

"I think it's just helping you scout ahead and having some fun on the side, right?" Fina rolled her eyes, making Sara next to her grit her teeth in annoyance. But Sara didn't say anything in the end. Fina only glanced at the map a few times, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked up and said:

"You call this Journey to the West?"

"Just tell me whether we ended up in India or not!"
