I've already become an immortal lord, and only now is the spiritual energy reviving?

Inside the rental house.

"I knew it."

Qingyuan put down his water glass and looked at the screen with a strange expression.

Shu Yan's "restless mind" destiny, when it comes to a monk who practices silent meditation, is like Mars colliding with Earth.

"It seems I don't need to fan the flames; this fight is inevitable."

This is a good opportunity to test Shu Yan and Chai Wu's skills.

After all, Guanhuamen does not keep counterfeit goods.

He was preparing to continue enjoying the high-level brawls of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The screen vibrated.

A series of gold-plated prompts cascaded down like a waterfall.

Incense is the ink, destiny is the contract, and heavenly secrets are the framework.

[A special destiny with intersecting causes and effects has been detected, and a divine mandate has been matched for it!]

【Matching Element 1: Mind of the Monkey (Shuyan/Wukong)】

[Matching Element Two: Quicksand/Sumeru (Chai Wu/Wu Jing/??)]

[Matching Element 3: Ascetic Monk (Juexin/Sanzang)]

[Matching Element 4: Gluttonous Pig Demon (Iron Mane Demon King/Wuneng)]

【Matching Element 5: Immortal Scriptures (Undying Sword Tomb/True Scripture)】

【? ? ? : Dragon (missing)】

Qingyuan's eyes widened, and he leaned forward.

The next line of text made his heart pound.

[The formula holds true: Monkey King + Sumeru + Monk + Pig Demon + Scriptures = Journey to the West!]

All forms are not forms; cause and effect cycle endlessly, and myths repeat themselves.

[The divine being "Master" has been awakened, inspired by his power!]

The magical tree was dim and lifeless, its roots buried deep underground.

An ancient bamboo scroll icon, named "Master," was illuminated in a golden light and then unfolded.

The surface is densely covered with ancient-style seal script characters.

[Supernatural power: Chief]

[Synopsis: The ways of Heaven are unpredictable, but the ways of humanity are constant. Using all living beings as pawns, one governs the destiny of Heaven, wielding one's destiny and setting the course of fate.]

[Effect: When the destiny of one of your disciples resonates with a specific ancient myth/legend, a unique "Destiny Script" can be initiated for them.]

Those who enter the game need not know the whole story; they only need to act according to the unseen "fortune," endure hardships, and whose actions subtly align with the legendary trajectory to receive rewards.

Qingyuan's breathing became rapid.

Is this... an official joke? Or a projection of the Great Road?

He continued reading.

[Currently available to trigger Destiny: Journey to the West (Act 1: Untamed Wildness, Buddhist Dharma Subdues the Ape)]

[Synopsis: From the unruly nature of the Monkey King to the profound weight of Mount Sumeru, and finally to the enlightenment of the Buddhist disciple, and the redemption from greed.]

The journey to the West is not about returning home, but about staying true to one's heart; it is a path to enlightenment, from the mundane to the sacred, and ultimately to the "Great Luo."

[Reward Preview: Second Advancement of Destiny (Very High Probability), Improvement of Cultivation Realm, Comprehending Special Daoist Rhymes...]

Current status: Insufficient conditions (not enabled)

[Key points: The key figure "Juexin" has not yet joined the Venerable One's sect, and the key item "Pig Demon" has not yet been subdued.]

"Journey to the West? Advancement of Destiny?!"

The temptation was too great.

It was so big that Qingyuan simply couldn't refuse.

He looked at the four people on the screen who were already at loggerheads.

A sense of apology welled up in my heart.

"Shu Yan, Chai Wu, don't blame the ancestor for being ruthless."

"We not only have to fight this battle, but we have to fight it beautifully."

"because......"

Qingyuan could clearly sense it.

The stone egg, which had been ignoring him the whole time, began to tremble slightly in the very center of his body's dantian.

Originally, the golden-red cracks were as fine as hair.

As the words "Journey to the West" appeared on the screen, they spread and intensified at a visible speed!

A feeling of joy and elation traveled through his meridians to his mind.

It wants to see!

It needs the nourishment from this "destiny"!

"The monk subdued the ape; they became friends after the fight, so..."

......

"beat!"

In short, the hammer fell to the ground.

The void trembled.

Chai Wu didn't waste any words and threw a punch, simple and unpretentious.

It squeezed out a visible airflow tunnel, heading straight for Juexin's face.

Whether you're a Buddha or a demon, if you want to take my family away, you'll have to face these fists first!

"The Buddha is compassionate, but also possesses the wrath of Vajra!"

Behind Juexin, the Dharma form roared angrily, with three heads and six arms rotating in a wheel.

A giant golden pestle slammed down, colliding head-on with Chai Wu's fist.

"BOOM!!!"

Golden light and blood-red energy exploded.

The void beneath their feet shattered, revealing a distorted reflection of the mortal world below.

Chai Wu did not retreat an inch, his entire body armor blazing with red light, pushing Juexin backwards by a hundred feet.

"Wow, that's powerful! That's fierce!"

Although his awareness had waned, the fervor in his eyes only intensified.

"Such a physique, if used to protect the Dharma, could safeguard the righteous path for a thousand years! Benefactor, the more you resist, the happier this humble monk is!"

"Screw you!"

Enraged, Chai Wu's body swelled up, transforming into a raging bull that charged forward, giving his opponent no chance to catch his breath.

the other side.

Ironfur King was not idle either.

"Hehe, you little vixen, although the Buddha said it's a vegetarian diet, I suppose drinking a little blood won't hurt!"

The pig demon grinned maliciously, wielding its nine-ringed broadsword in a whirlwind that carried a foul stench as it slashed down at Shu Yan.

Shu Yan's face was as still as water.

She neither flinched nor dodged the stench of the knife.

Only his pupils turned completely golden.

"roll."

A soft shout.

The white ape phantom behind him was no longer as solemn as before, having completely shed its disguise.

Baring its teeth and roaring angrily!

"squeak!"

The sharp cry of the ape pierced the soul.

A giant, hairy white hand appeared out of nowhere, striking first and grabbing the menacing nine-ringed sword.

"Snap!"

The powerful magical sword, capable of splitting mountains, was molded into a lump of scrap metal in the ape's hand, like dough.

"Wh...what?!"

Ironfur King's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his pigskin body trembled with fear.

Before it could even react.

"Snapped!"

A large slingshot landed squarely on its pig face.

The pig demon spun around like a top eighteen times, its tusks shattering on the ground, without uttering a sound, and fainted on the spot.

"You dare to challenge me?"

Shu Yan looked down at the little monk who was entangled with his senior brother, his eyes filled with a mixture of fighting spirit and disgust.

"Next, it's your turn, you bald monk."

"Water, come!"

With a flick of his wrist.

The void gave rise to water, and a great river stretched across the sky. Thousands of phantoms overlapped one after another, all raising their fists and smashing towards the golden, radiant Awakening Heart.

"Two against one?"

"That's a lack of martial ethics..."

Juexin's forehead was sweating, he gritted his teeth, and pushed his Dharma Body to its limit to withstand this mixed doubles match.

For a time, the void trembled violently as the battle raged on, a fierce and evenly matched contest.

......

"Tsk tsk, that's pathetic."

Inside the rented room, Qingyuan watched the play while also worrying about the young monk.

Chai Wu and Shu Yan are top-tier characters who have been genuinely armed by their "ancestor".

Although Juexin has some background, his cultivation method is also strange.

But two fists can't fight four hands.

It's only a matter of time before we get completely crushed.

"However, this is also part of the process."

"If I don't beat you into submission, how can you obediently play Tang Sanzang?"

Just as Qingyuan was engrossed in watching, his phone vibrated.

WeChat pop-up window.

[Lu Zhaolin: Image.jpg]

[Lu Zhaolin: The items have arrived.]

Qingyuan regained his composure and clicked on the picture.

Inside the black velvet gift box lay a dark green jade pendant.

The carving is exquisite, and the jade is smooth and lustrous.

It is a "peace and safety" sign.

There are no complicated patterns on it, only a simple and elegant character "庆" (Qing), which exudes a low-key yet grand feel.

[Lu Zhaolin: I heard your birthday is coming soon. A jade pendant is good for the heart and mind.]

Qingyuan was taken aback.

That tone...

Why does this have a "declaration of sovereignty" feel to it?

Thinking of the aloof and domineering CEO Lu in the company, who actually had such ulterior motives in private, Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's very thoughtful."

He replied with three words.

Just as I was about to put down my phone, another message popped up.

This time it's Gu Wanyin.

[Wanyin: Um, Qingyuan, I'd like to ask, what kind of scarves do boys usually like? Would a hand-knitted one be too old-fashioned...? [shy]]

scarf?

In the middle of summer?

Qingyuan glanced at the blazing sun outside the window, which was in the thirties degree Celsius.

Wearing it outside might cause prickly heat.

But he understood the girl's feelings, and after thinking for a moment, he replied earnestly:

[It's not tacky; it represents the sentiment. Gray or navy blue would be suitable, for a more understated look.]

After replying to the message, Qingyuan scratched his head.

"Sigh, being too handsome is a problem too."

Of course, Versailles's感慨 (feelings of deep emotion) lasted only a second.

Because the battle situation on the screen has changed.
