[Talent: Thousand Faces]

[Introduction: The face itself has no form, yet a thousand faces are reflected in the mirror. One shows a widow, another a martyr—]

[Note: You are the new man of a thousand faces]

'

I don't want to comment!

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, silently trying to understand how to use the Thousand Faces talent. Once he grasped it, he raised an eyebrow.

"Using others' causes to create my own consequences?"

Zhao Zheng frowned. The effect of the Thousand Faces talent was very powerful, so powerful that it could achieve more than just a flawless disguise.

It can also absorb some of the karmic consequences of the other person's death, and then selectively avoid those negative effects.

In other words, if he were to kill Wei He and the other two women now, and use his Thousand Faces talent to take over the karma on them, he could perfectly inherit some of their future opportunities.

Of course, there are also downsides. The more opportunities he inherits that belong to the two of them for the future, the more blurred his face will become, and eventually he will become Wei He and the other person.

Or rather, Wei and He will be resurrected from him in a way that he cannot yet comprehend.

This is a talent that can be used, but not used too deeply, as it has negative effects. In any case, remember to pull it out in time at the end, or you'll be in big trouble!

"Perfectly matches Xiulian's character!"

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, got up and left the prayer mat, looking at the three-legged toad that had crawled back under the offering table.

He frowned as he looked at the life-weaving spider that hadn't moved an inch, then slapped it down as it charged at him like a madman.

He raised his racket again!

Snap! Snap! Snap—

After a few sounds, Zhao Zheng looked with satisfaction at the spider under the altar that was no longer rushing towards him, but was gradually remembering him as its master. He then picked up his paddle and left the main hall.

"well----"

As Xiang Yu passed by the main hall with his breakfast, he saw the pitiful Weaver Spider and decided to catch more insects for it when he returned.

After a while, a stone table appeared in the courtyard.

"Uncle-Master, do you remember what I told you about the Great Chen Federation 2100 I encountered in the Mirror Realm created by that old woman?"

Zhao Zheng asked curiously, and seeing Daoist Tianyi nod, he continued, "Uncle-Master, do such formations truly exist in this world that can summon futures that shouldn't exist?"

Zhao Zheng asked curiously. As for how he knew that the Great Chen Federation 2100 appeared in the mirror world created by Xiu Lian by means of the "Qingzuo Town Time Reverse Realm Invasion Array", it was simple: because his Great Black Heaven Tathagata Dharma Form was very effective.

This differs from the compassionate teachings of the Lotus Sutra, which embodies the great compassion of the Tathagata who prioritizes salvation over killing.

His Mahakala Buddha form, condensed from the Sutra of the Myriad Forms of Salvation, would plunder some of the enemy's belongings as the enemy died.

Including but not limited to memory and techniques!

This is also the main reason why he asked the Mahakala Buddha last night if he could attain the realm of a terrestrial immortal after killing all living beings in the entire Tianjin area.

As for what to do after killing him, it's simple. When he becomes powerful enough, he will reopen the world and create a world without suffering by establishing earth, water, wind, and fire.

If that doesn't work, then restart!

According to probability theory, Zhao Zheng believed that as long as he restarted the world enough times, a world without suffering would eventually be born in his hands.

Master Tianyi did not speak immediately, but looked at Xiang Yu, who was sitting next to him with a curious look in his eyes. Xiang Yu pursed his lips, picked up some food and put it in his bowl, and then got up and left the stone bench.

Master Tianyi watched as Xiang Yu angrily left the inner courtyard with his rice bowl, then looked away, his brows furrowed as he gazed at Zhao Zheng.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to explain, "Some formations can indeed change the world—even summon the past and the future—or bring a past and future that shouldn't exist into the present!"

"Really?"

"sure----"

Master Tianyi paused here, then looked at Zhao Zheng with a strange smile before continuing.

"The reason why Qin Shi Huang ordered the collection of bronze from Shou Mountain to cast the twelve bronze statues was to set up the so-called Twelve Celestial Array to lock in the eternal future of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Oh, so, where is the copper from Shoushan?"

'

'

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious!"

'

I think you're more than just curious!

Master Tianyi curled his lip, scrutinizing Zhao Zheng with his eyes, before suddenly saying, "The Twelve Golden Men weren't actually destroyed!"

"Let's go to Mount Li. I'm going to activate the Twelve Celestial Arrays to lock in the eternal future of the Qin Dynasty!"

Zhao Zheng immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying, "Go ahead, the remnants of the six kingdoms are all waiting for you!" Master Tianyi chuckled and said, "

"Forget it, I'm not going. Things are fine as they are!"

Zhao Zheng sat back down on the stone chair, and Daoist Tianyi rolled his eyes in disgust, saying, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I don't know if the Twelve Golden Men are destroyed or not, and I don't know if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are still around—"

"—All I know is that the First Emperor failed back then. As for Mount Li, if you're not afraid, you can go there. Maybe there really are remnants of the six kingdoms waiting for you!"

"I'm not Qin Shi Huang, why would I go?"

Zhao Zheng spoke up, saying that he wasn't afraid, but he simply didn't think of himself as Qin Shi Huang, even if he really did possess the Tai'a Sword.

Anyway, he now feels that he isn't!

'

'

You change your expression so quickly!

Master Tianyi inwardly complained, then frowned slightly and warned, "This kind of world-altering formation is going against the will of Heaven—"

After giving him a long warning, he looked at Zhao Zheng, who nodded as if he had taken it all in, and then stopped talking. But as soon as he stopped, he heard Zhao Zheng say something.

"So, where is the copper from Shoushan?"

'

'

"Just out of curiosity!"

Zhao Zheng asked again. He had no other intention than to be curious about the whereabouts of the copper from Shoushan. But rest assured, he, Zhao Zheng, would not cast the twelve bronze statues again.

"have no idea!"

Master Tianyi was speechless. Zhao Zheng said "okay," and continued, "If I don't destroy the Mirror Realm this time, will the future of the Great Chen Federation 2100 really come true?"

"have no idea!"

"oh----"

Zhao Zheng said "Oh" and stopped talking. Seeing this, Daoist Tianyi looked at Zhao Zheng, whose face was still slightly pale, with worry in his eyes.

"Is your injury getting any better?"

"good!"

"Hmm, but you took too much of a risk this time—"

Master Tianyi abruptly stopped speaking, staring blankly at Zhao Zheng, whose face had suddenly turned pale.

"Yes, the injuries are actually quite serious!"

Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, his face pale. He wasn't lying; he was telling the truth. The Innate Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Body Holy Embryo had stopped his injuries and helped him recover quite a bit.

However, he is still seriously injured, not only in his primordial spirit but also in his physical body. The reason he can ignore this is entirely due to his talent for enduring hardship.

Master Tianyi took a deep breath, too lazy to look at Zhao Zheng anymore, and began to concentrate on eating. However, he spoke up after a while.

"Actually, there are some things you don't need to do. Even if you don't take action this time, someone else will handle the Federation's arrival in the Mirror Realm!"

"Justice delayed is justice denied, and similarly, a solution delayed is not a solution at all—" Zhao Zheng said, raising his head.

Knowing that Zhao Zheng meant that if those people acted too late, many people would die, Daoist Tianyi remained silent for a while before speaking.

"—Everything in this world is preordained!"

"I prefer to believe that my destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of fate!"

Zhao Zheng spoke first, then said, "I'm full," before getting up, picking up his bowl and chopsticks, and heading towards the kitchen. Daoist Tianyi opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Two hours later, at the Xiqiao Girls' School, on the top floor of the office building, in the school board office.

Zhao Zheng quietly watched the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the school as he stood by the window, and the men and women who came to take away the belongings of the female teachers who had been killed by Xiulian.

"Here, take this and tell them!"

-

Zhao Zheng swiped his right hand across the prayer beads in his left hand, took out a prepared piece of paper, and handed it to the vice principal who was standing obediently to the side.

The vice principal took the paper, glanced at it, and was stunned.

"this----"

"They died in my school after all—" Zhao Zheng said, turning and leaving the office to head out of the school.

There was nothing he could do; Master Zhao couldn't bear to see people suffer!

The piece of paper he gave me contained a plan for compensation for the deceased female teachers, since they died at the school.

The plan would provide monthly financial assistance to the family of the deceased female teacher, including addressing their children's or family members' schooling and employment issues.

There's not much he can do; he can only change what he sees before him.

Night, Anping County, East of the city, at the main gate of Songhelou.

"Alright, let's go home. Look how much you've drunk!"

At the entrance of Songhelou Restaurant, Zhao Zheng disdainfully pushed away Cheng Qingqing, who was unharmed in the Xiulian incident but had vomited at this gathering.

"Brother Zheng, let me tell you, that foot-binding installment plan is just treating me like an idiot. That plan—"

'

Cheng Qingqing ultimately failed to utter the rest of her words before passing out from drunkenness. She was then helped into a carriage by her maid and left.

"You should all go home soon too!"

Zhao Zheng addressed Li Feng and the others, saying that although Xiu Lian had harmed many people, Cheng Qingqing and the others were unharmed, including the two Miss Shis who had also attended the gathering.

"I understand, Zheng-ge'er, you should go back and rest early too—"

"Bye-bye————"

"Goodbye, Zheng-ge'er————"

Li Feng and the others, along with Zhao Zheng, boarded their respective carriages and left. Only Lu Chengyuan, Zhang Daoren, and Chu Ruoxi, whose face was flushed from drinking, did not leave immediately.

"Thank you all very much!"

Zhao Zheng clasped his hands in gratitude to Lu Chengyuan and the other two, but before he could even bend down, they helped him up.

Yes, Chu Ruoxi didn't help!

"Junior brother, why are you grateful to us? Even if you hadn't said anything, we would have gone to save them anyway. We haven't even thanked you for getting rid of that culprit for the people yet!"

"Yes!"

Needless to say, the first to speak was Master Zhang, and the second was the taciturn and expressionless Lu Chengyuan.

As for how the two knew that Zhao Zheng had dealt with the culprit, it was naturally because of their respective sects.

The three chatted for a while, and as they were about to say goodbye and leave, Lu Chengyuan looked at Zhao Zheng, who still hadn't mentioned returning the medicine box, and spoke succinctly.

"Junior brother, the first-aid kit!"

"Uh, senior brother, I'd completely forgotten!"

Zhao Zheng slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing something. He looked at the coachman Er Gou beside him, who immediately took out Lu Chengyuan's medicine box from the carriage and handed it to Zhao Zheng, who then passed it on to Lu Chengyuan.

"Thank you for the medicine kit, senior brother!"

Although the first-aid kit wasn't helpful in this incident, we should still be grateful.

Besides, he really forgot!

"polite!"

Lu Chengyuan shook his head, indicating that these were all minor matters. The three chatted for a while longer before Lu Chengyuan and his companion took their leave.

"What's wrong? Are you drunk?"

Zhao Zheng looked at Chu Ruoxi, who hadn't said much all evening. Chu Ruoxi rolled her eyes: "I can hold my liquor perfectly well. By the way, how are you going to thank me for saving you? —"

Half an hour later, Zhao Zheng was in a house in the east of the city, on his bed in the bedroom.

"Hmm? You're really a virgin—"

Zhao Zheng sensed the goalkeeper's presence and looked at Chu Ruoxi with surprise. Chu Ruoxi rolled her eyes, her delicate brows furrowed.

"car----"

There's not much to say about the rest of the process.

Still in bed.

"Hey, when are you planning to come and propose marriage?"

A more alluring Chu Ruoxi lay in Zhao Zheng's arms and looked up to ask, but Zhao Zheng didn't speak, only drinking his tea.

She snorted coldly, slapped away Zhao Zheng's hand that was touching his conscience, and flipped over to lock his neck, saying, "Are you planning to eat your fill and then deny everything?"

"————"

Is it possible that you ate it?

Zhao Zheng rolled his eyes, not revealing the key point that he hadn't taken the initiative to make the whole thing, but just said with a helpless expression.

"Are you sure you want me to go and propose marriage? Let me make my current situation clear to you first. I'm a genius that my martial uncle, no, I should say the entire Maoshan sect has high hopes for. After all, you've seen and know my talent. What do you think my martial uncle and grandmaster will think when they find out about us?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Ruoxi loosened her grip on his throat with a puzzled look. It wasn't that she was angry; it was mainly because Zhao Zheng had previously used his grip on her throat.

Zhao Zheng stood up and hugged Chu Ruo, asking, "Do you think you're pretty? I think you are. With you being so pretty, they'll definitely think I lack resolve, or even that you're a vixen trying to seduce me!"

"What... what should we do?"

"Take it slow. I'll talk to them about this when I find a suitable opportunity. Don't worry, I'll definitely take responsibility!"

Being responsible ≠ proposing marriage in person!

Zhao Zheng added in his mind, while Chu Ruoxi frowned and looked at Zhao Zheng, feeling that something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Why do I get the feeling that you just don't want to marry me?"

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person. Besides, you saw how deeply I loved you just now!"

"roll!"

"Still want to get lost? Fine!"

Another hour passed in silence. Frustrated, Chu Ruoxi glared at Zhao Zheng after regaining her senses: "I think you just don't want to take responsibility!"

"How could that be? I already said I would take responsibility. Besides, didn't you hear what I just said?"

"You're so beautiful, they'll definitely think you're trying to seduce me. And besides—you're already thirty years old this year. It's not that I think you're too old, I'm just thinking of you—"

"Let me put it this way, you're so beautiful and a bit older than me, they'll definitely assume you're seducing me. If I were to directly clarify our relationship, they might misunderstand you." Zhao Zheng didn't say anything, because Chu Ruoxi hugged him tightly, already moved, and was about to give him a kiss.

Zhao Zheng didn't kiss her because the scent of the kiss was that of the photinia flowers he produced, so he refused.

There's not much to say after that. In the blink of an eye, another hour has passed. Zhao Zheng gave Chu Ruoxi the house deed and land deed for the house, and also gave her a house in the concession area.

"By the way, I'll be leaving for a while. Don't overthink it, or think I've abandoned you or anything like that."

Zhao Zheng gave her a heads-up beforehand, and Chu Ruoxi, nestled in his arms, looked up in confusion and asked, "Where are you going?"

"To put it more nicely, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Our main purpose is to experience the world and temper our Daoist heart!"

"What about the ones that don't sound good?"

"The unpleasant truth is that the unorthodox sects I killed last night weren't just unorthodox, but also members of reputable sects. So I need to lay low for a while, otherwise, given the ways these reputable sects operate, something I really don't want to happen will definitely happen!"

"But what will happen to the Taoist temple if you leave? And what if those people cause trouble for your family?"

'

"Wow, you've found out quite a bit, haven't you?"

Zhao Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, clutching his conscience, "It's not that I found out so much, it's just that you, the eldest young master of the Zhao family, are too famous—" Chu Ruoxi glared at Zhao Zheng in pain and said, "It's not that I found out so much, it's just that you, the eldest young master of the Zhao family, are too famous—"

"That was in the past!"

"cut!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't worry, they won't make a move while I'm not here. If they do, someone will teach them a lesson!" Zhao Zheng comforted him.

"Um----"

"Alright, you can rest now, I have to go back!"

After comforting Chu Ruoxi a few times, Zhao Zheng put on his clothes. His time with women was over, and he, who no longer sought solace in women, left the house.

Once inside the carriage, Zhao Zheng, smelling the scent and traces on his body that had been automatically removed by the mud, gave a satisfied thumbs-up and thought to himself.

"Third Prince is awesome!"

After the praise ended, Zhao Zheng took out two parchment scrolls that Wei Hehe and Chen Qing had given him, one of which was from his pocket.

Or rather, the autobiographical diary of Rosi!

"These two are more effective than I expected—"

Zhao Zheng didn't care where Wei He and the other person got Luo Siyao's diary from; he simply opened the car window and said something casually.

"Give each of them a house —"

"A house in the concession area —"

"Yes, young master!"

A voice, transmitted in a secret manner, came from the shadows beneath the carriage and rang in Zhao Zheng's ears!

Zhao Zheng looked at the fleeing shadows, or rather, at the martial lineage of his Zhao family, which was why he said that someone would naturally teach those righteous people a lesson.

In this world where martial arts flourish, a family with martial artists is not necessarily wealthy, but a wealthy family is almost certain to have martial artists.

Otherwise, having money without martial artists to protect it, without the corresponding ability to safeguard it, would just be saving money for others. With that thought gone, Zhao Zheng looked out the window at the street scene receding as the car drove toward Zuowang Temple, then looked away from the two diaries, his gaze falling on the prayer beads on his left hand.

It's not the rosary beads he lost when he was a child!!

It was the prayer beads that appeared last night when he was forging the innate Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Body Holy Embryo. Although he didn't have time to ask Master Tianyi.

But he also naturally realized that this was his innate magic weapon, because it was a magic weapon that would grow stronger as he successfully forged his innate Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Body Holy Embryo.

The rosary has twenty-one beads in total. Although it is made of five colors, namely blue, red, black, and white, after Zhao Zheng removed the five-color effects, the rosary presents an ancient and hazy gray color.

Furthermore, viewed from different angles, these twenty-one prayer beads respectively display the profound Taoist mantra "Lin Bing Dou Zhe, all in advance" and the Buddhist six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum".

And finally, the six-syllable mantra of the demonic sect, "Hum Pa Ni Ma Om," which fully reveals the supreme demonic intent of the heretical sects.

"Taoist, Buddhist, and Demonic—Three Religions Prayer Beads—By the way, you don't seem to have a name yet. How about this, I'll name you Five-Colored Divine Light Beads, what do you think? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement!"

Zhao Zheng looked at the prayer beads that had no objection, then looked away, preparing to find an opportunity to test the power of his companion magic weapon.

Although he felt that the prayer beads were not as hard as his Tai'a sword, they were somewhat unworthy of the title of "accompanying magic weapon".

But then he thought about it again, since he wasn't in the prehistoric world, it seemed quite reasonable that his companion magic weapon wasn't as sturdy as the Tai'a Sword!

Moreover, Zhao Zheng felt that the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light Pearl was not very important, because the Five-Colored Divine Light Pearl had already demonstrated what he considered to be the most important function!

Zhao Zheng wiped the five-colored divine light pearl in his left hand with his right hand, and the two diaries of Luo Siyao in his right hand disappeared, replaced by a book on sitting in oblivion that he had read many times.

Yes, the Five-Colored Divine Light Pearl comes with its own storage space. The space is not large, just a space with a length, width and height of five meters, a 5×5×5 space totaling 125 cubic meters.

"It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep—"

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, then lowered his head to concentrate on reading the Dao Shu: Zuo Wang Lun, which he had already read many times.

After a while, we arrived at the main hall of the inner courtyard of Zuowang Temple.

"???"

Master Tianyi, who had been holding out a storage jade ring, froze, staring blankly at Zhao Zheng's storage prayer beads.

"How about it? My companion magic weapon is pretty good, isn't it?"

Zhao Zheng wanted to test the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light Pearl, but considering that every flower and blade of grass in this Taoist temple belonged to him, he decided to give up and not try it.

I'll try finding another Taoist temple tomorrow!

"6

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing—I just didn't expect my older brother to have thought so far ahead, even preparing a storage magic item for you in advance!"

"???"

"What's wrong?"

In the blink of an eye, the person whose lips were twitching changed from Daoist Tianyi to Zhao Zheng. After a two-second silence, Zhao Zheng spoke.

"This is a companion magic weapon that I formed when I created my innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Dao Body, not something my master gave me!"

"Okay, I understand!"

"—Yes, Uncle-Master, you guessed right. This is a storage magic item that my master prepared for me!" Zhao Zheng said expressionlessly.

It's strange, when he tells the truth, no one believes him, but whenever he lies, everyone believes him.

After saying this, Zhao Zheng looked at Daoist Tianyi, who had an expression that said, "I knew it." He was speechless and was about to explain when he saw Daoist Tianyi hand over the jade thumb ring.

"Take this too. It contains some protective items I prepared for your upcoming training trip. Oh, and I also put the one-time-use magic weapon made by the snake woman's venomous fangs in here, but you should save it for when it really matters."

Master Tianyi cautioned that the poison in the Soul-Wounding Nails made from the snake woman's fangs was too potent.

"No need, I already have a storage magic item!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head and refused the jade thumb ring offered by Daoist Tianyi. Daoist Tianyi insisted, "Take it. There are over thirty cubic meters inside!"

"That's huge!"

Zhao Zheng touched the prayer beads on his left hand and said. Daoist Tianyi looked at Zhao Zheng, who was speaking strangely, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just put the jade thumb ring into Zhao Zheng's hand and said.

"I've already calculated everything for you. You can leave tomorrow morning and head south. Don't worry about the temple or your family along the way; I'll keep an eye on them for you. Everything will be fine!"

"OK!"

Looking at the jade thumb ring, Zhao Zheng thought to himself that it was about the same as what he had calculated, and then nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Daoist Tianyi said...

"By the way, your master is looking for you!"

"Um?"

A dozen seconds later, they were still in the main hall.

"So that all sentient beings will be free from suffering—therefore, all sentient beings must die—are you sure—this is still Buddhism?"

With a face like an old man on the subway using his cell phone, Daoist Dayan used the Thousand-Mile Transmission Technique to create a water screen, watching Daoist Tianyi and Zhao Zheng, who were starting to feel irritated.

"Isn't this the Dharma?"

Zhao Zheng asked in surprise, and the image of Mahakala Tathagata behind him appeared as he thought of it. Then, under the constant switching between the Lotus Sutra and the Sutra of the Original Non-Salvation of All Phenomena, it began to change between black and gold, that is, between Buddha and demon.

"————" ×2

Master Tianyi's eyelids twitched, his face turned pale, and he kept taking deep breaths, feeling that he shouldn't worry about whether Zhao Zheng was alright.

Now look what's happened, he's about to get into trouble!

Master Tianyi felt the discomfort in his Dao heart and silently lowered his head to begin reciting the Huangting Scripture. Master Dayan's expression was much better; he simply stared at Zhao Zheng for a while without any expression.

"Heh heh, how dare a mere demon disrupt my cultivation!"

Use hand seals and chant incantations to dispel illusions!

This moment is just like that moment!

To be honest, Master Tianyi felt that the scene in front of him was quite familiar, so familiar that he almost laughed. However, after Master Dayan looked at him with a smile, he stopped laughing.

And why aren't you glaring at Zhao?

Master Tianyi kept his thoughts to himself. He watched as Zhao Zheng, who had somehow gone to tease the three-legged toad and the life-weaving spider, silently thought to himself, "Good lad!" and lowered his head in silence.

Daoist Dayan smiled and looked at Daoist Tianyi for a while, then frowned and looked at Zhao Zhengdao, who had returned with great insight.

"You—forget it, I'll ask and you answer!"

"OK!"

"All forms are illusory; you've probably heard that, right? In your opinion, what does this statement mean?"

Daoist Dayan asked, and Zhao Zheng replied that he not only knew the sentence, but also knew that it came from the later part of the Diamond Sutra.

"Hmm—in my view, it can be understood as the disappearance of all sentient beings, the disappearance of all appearances, and the disappearance of illusion and suffering as well."

"————"×2

Without mentioning that Daoist Tianyi raised his head and frowned, Daoist Dayan's expression became even more serious, and then Daoist Dayan continued to ask.

"Is 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'?"

"When all living beings and all things are completely extinguished, then all suffering and existence will become empty, and naturally nothing will remain."

"—Not bad, not bad, you've practiced well, but you shouldn't practice Buddhism anymore, no, what you've practiced isn't even that—"

Daoist Dayan suddenly didn't want to comment anymore. He frowned as he looked at the Dharma image behind Zhao Zheng, which sometimes appeared as a celestial demon and sometimes as a Buddha.

It's strange, how did this kid manage to cultivate a Dharma form?

That shouldn't be! It doesn't make sense!

Despite the discomfort in his Dao heart, Daoist Dayan flicked his finger and sent out a golden stream of light that passed through the water curtain and entered Zhao Zheng's brow.

"This is the internal cultivation method of the Eight Great Divine Incantations of our Maoshan Sect. You should practice it more often, especially the Purification Mantra among them —"

As soon as Daoist Dayan finished speaking, the water curtain of the Thousand-Mile Transmission Technique burst open with a snap, coincidentally drenching Daoist Tianyi.

"————" ×2

The atmosphere in the main hall was slightly silent. Zhao Zheng looked at the clean floor, then at the drenched Daoist Tianyi with his fists clenched, said he was hungry, and quickly left the main hall to head straight for the kitchen.

There was no other way; he was afraid that if he didn't leave soon, someone would kill him to silence him. As for the Great Evolution Daoist, he told him to practice the Purifying Heart Mantra more.

He felt it must be related to his Mahakala Buddha image. Thinking this, Zhao Zheng turned his head to look at the Mahakala Buddha image that he hadn't had time to retract.

Surrounded by demonic energy, he stood on a lotus platform forged from bones and flesh, his right arm holding a bone wheel forged from his arm bone. The patterns on the wheel naturally generated demonic energy, and within the demonic energy, the chaotic movement of Zen mind was fully revealed.

His two right arms held up a white lotus platform made of collarbone, the petals gleaming white—his three right arms held a rosary made of finger bones, each bead representing the greed, attachment, and entanglement of all beings—

"It certainly doesn't look good, but my master's cultivation is truly high; he actually saw through the great compassion beneath my great destructive heart!"

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, his thoughts mainly stemming from his master's words that he should practice the Purifying Heart Mantra more.

This clearly shows that they feel his moral cultivation is not high enough, and they are worried about his safety, fearing that he might go astray in his Buddhist practice.

Daoist Dayuan —

After having a simple late-night snack in the kitchen, Zhao Zheng went to the main hall, pulled up a futon, sat down, and continued his silent cultivation throughout the night.

In addition, to be fair, his master's skill in splashing water was truly impressive!

Looking at the ground without a single water stain, Zhao Zheng sighed inwardly, and then began to circulate the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

As soon as the method was activated, Zhao Zheng saw that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had completely transformed into flesh and blood and had already burned to its limit, was surging into his meridians in an extremely frenzied manner.

The next day, August 24th, 7:00 AM, outside the main gate of Zuowang Temple.

"Uncle-Master, Senior Brother, don't bother seeing me off, I'll be back in a few days—" Zhao Zheng, sitting in the carriage, waved and called out to Daoist Tianyi and his companion behind him.

"Junior brother, be careful on the road—"

Xiang Yu waved his hand with some concern. After Zhao Zheng's carriage drove out of the alley and disappeared around the corner, he looked at Daoist Tianyi.

"Master, will my junior brother be alright?"

"Don't worry, this kid's got a lot of luck—wait!"

Master Tianyi let out a soft "hmm" and began to calculate with his fingers. Xiang Yu, seeing this, asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong? Is Junior Brother in danger?"

"No—it's just that the trouble suddenly disappeared!"

Master Tianyi looked on in bewilderment at the trouble that had come to him, trouble that was caused by people who were not from unorthodox sects.

"The trouble is over? Maybe they had a change of heart and stopped causing trouble!" Xiang Yu said, knowing that the trouble Master Tianyi was referring to was those who were not from unorthodox sects.

"Perhaps—"

Master Tianyi nodded, but did not turn around and enter the Taoist temple. He simply smiled and addressed the neighbors and worshippers.

"Ah Zheng has to go out for a few days. He solved the Mirror Ghost incident? He doesn't have that kind of ability. There's someone else behind it. Yes, that's right, it's not convenient to say—"

Meanwhile, several days later, Er Gou drove his carriage to the gate of a house with its doors wide open. Zhao Zheng, who was not riding in a Western-style carriage, lifted the curtain.

His gaze calmly fell upon the group of righteous people from prestigious families inside the gate, who were bound hand and foot, their mouths stuffed with rags, and kneeling on the ground.

The group of people looked terrified when they saw Zhao Zheng, but Zhao Zheng lowered the curtain and calmly spoke.

"Kill them all—"

"Yes, young master!"

A voice responded, and as streaks of blood, as brilliant as fireworks, bloomed in the air, Zhao Zheng's carriage slowly drove away.

Zhao Zheng felt no emotional reaction to the deaths of these people from reputable sects. After all, he believed that these people were ultimately just demons disguised as righteous individuals.

As the thought arose, Zhao Zheng raised an eyebrow and looked at the dense, flame-shaped points of light that emerged from the heavens and earth and slowly flowed into his body, smaller than the essence of the sun and moon.

Feeling the subtle changes in his body, Zhao Zheng smiled slightly and thought to himself, "As expected, I knew I was a kind person!"

See? Even heaven and earth think he did the right thing!

"Huh————"

Zhao Zheng sighed inwardly and looked at the new state that was slowly condensing from dark red blood light on the panel of the myriad aspects of life.

[Status: Unparalleled Demonic Heart]

[Introduction: The ultimate Tao is silent, operating in its own unique way. From the primordial beginning, signs appeared, Buddha and demon shared the same mark. Truth and delusion share the same origin, dust dissipates in the mirror of wisdom. When the heavenly secret is revealed, all transformations return to their ultimate end. Before the void eon, who could recognize the saint and the mortal? Only the illuminating emptiness shines, illuminating without trace. The fundamental truth, eternally and eternally steadfast.]

[Note 1: Demon is Buddha, Buddha is the Way]

[Note 2: The three teachings and three minds are all mind.]

"Heart----"

Zhao Zheng murmured to himself, reaching into his chest cavity to pull out a constantly beating, pitch-black demonic heart, which made him smile inwardly.

"It's just an illusion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant Buddhist light rose from the Demon Heart, evolving into a Buddhist kingdom, which immediately transformed into a Taoist blessed land.

The three minds of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism evolved—

At the same time, another state slowly emerged!

[Status: Unwavering Buddhist Mind]

【introduce:----】

Before Zhao Zheng could even see what was happening, a somewhat piercing demonic sound rang in his ears.

At that time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable sat on Mount Yujing in the Great Luo Heaven and expounded the Dharma. The Great Demon Emperors of the Nine Netherworlds, the Demon Kings of the Six Heavens, and the Wuyang Demon Clan from the ten directions of the Boundless World all came before the seat, bowed and paid their respects.

The Celestial Venerable proclaimed: "I, as the Primordial Ancestor, opened the cycle of Crimson Light, transforming and giving birth to all the heavens, and ruling over the Three Realms. The hundred demons concealed their essence, their separation and reunion occurring naturally; the great demons of the Nine Heavens, together with me, transformed into the Jade Pure Primordial Essence, originating from the same source. It is like the Great Awakening arising from emptiness, suddenly giving rise to illusory clouds;"

The sea appears to float foam, which is originally dependent on the water body.

At that time, looking down upon the world, sentient beings were deluded, mistaking a bubble for the ocean, clinging to dust as a mountain, taking illusory suffering as real, and mistaking a burning house for happiness. Birth, old age, sickness, and death continued endlessly; the suffering of separation from loved ones continued the cycle without ceasing. Although the gods preached the Dharma and bestowed grace for countless eons, deep-seated illnesses were difficult to cure, and chronic diseases were difficult to eradicate. It was like a patient whose wounds were so thick that only poison could penetrate them; or a wicked tree whose roots were so strong that only a sharp axe could cut it down.

Therefore, I, as the Primordial Ancestor, manifest as the Primordial Heavenly Demon, appearing with the wrathful gaze of Vajra, displaying a ferocious and awe-inspiring countenance. This is not for destruction, but rather the ultimate expression of great compassion; not out of heartlessness, but a unique path to salvation. It is like a physician using poison to cure a severe illness; or the Thunder God executing punishments to discipline the unfilial. Thunderbolts striking objects are inherently for creation; frost and snow killing are actually for nurturing—

Oh no, the Celestial Venerable really did transform into a demon!

Zhao Zheng's eyes widened, and in the next instant, the demonic chanting in his ears transformed into a compassionate and peaceful Buddhist chant.

At that time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable resided in the Jade Purity Realm, emitting great light that illuminated the ten directions of the world. All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, the Sixteen Great Masters, and countless Arhats gathered at the Vulture Peak Assembly to behold the Venerable countenance.

The Celestial Venerable proclaimed: "You should know that I, as the Primordial Ancestor, transformed into all the heavens, and also, from the same origin, manifested all Buddhas. Under the Bodhi tree, I demonstrated enlightenment; at the Vulture Peak Assembly, I expounded the Mahayana. The thirty-two major marks of a Buddha originate from Jade Purity; the eighty minor marks of a Buddha all arise from the Primordial Beginning. It is like the moon in the sky, its reflection appearing in many waters; a single moon shining brightly, its light dividing a thousand rivers—"

"???"

Did the Celestial Venerable also manifest as a Buddha?

Zhao Zheng was taken aback. Then, the Buddhist chanting in his ears faded away and was replaced by a Taoist chanting that was full of mystery and purity.

At that time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable ascended Mount Yujing, sat down, and expounded the Dharma. All the Heavenly Emperors, the Great Demons of the Nine Netherworlds, and the Buddhas of Mount Ling...

The immortals of the ten directions entered the precious pearl together and heard the ultimate Dao.

The Celestial Venerable proclaimed: "I, as the Primordial Ancestor, enlightened all the heavens. Demons are my transformations, Buddhas are my manifestations, but the Dao is my true essence. Like the ocean, its waves ever-changing, yet its moisture remains constant; like the void, formless yet its clouds and mists ever-changing, yet its emptiness remains unmoved—"

I'm afraid of JPGs.

Zhao Zheng stopped thinking and began to concentrate on comprehending the three texts that were rapidly disappearing from his mind. They were probably called "The Wondrous Scripture of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's Discourse on the Primordial Heavenly Demon's Killing Intent and Salvation".

And the "Taishang Yuanshi said that Buddha is the Dao and the True Scripture of Enlightenment", and the "Yuanshi Tianzun said that the Dao is originally without two mysterious gates and unique operation scripture".

To be honest, Zhao Zheng suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable for Yuanshi Tianzun to transform into a Buddha, since the world was created by Yuanshi Tianzun.

Of course, he also knew that there were many other great gods who had created the heavens, such as Taishang, Yuchen, Fuxi, and Nuwa.

Strangely enough, Zhao Zheng suddenly felt that if he wanted to become a god, he had to create a new world, otherwise he wouldn't be worthy of the title of god!

Got it, now that he's a god, he's going to create the heavens too!

Three days later, at night, in what is now Hunan, in the Xiaoxiang region, within the Dayong area of ​​Xiaoxiang, in the woods.

"Where did I come from? And where's my face? Bah, where's the unlucky guy I'm about to be replaced by with the talent of a thousand faces? Where's my opportunity?"

Zhao Zheng jumped out of the Yin-Yang Road, looked strangely at the forest in front of him that had just been rained on, and followed the sound of movement towards the distance.

As for how he jumped out of the Yin-Yang Path, it was because he used the method of borrowing the Yin Path, a technique used by cultivators to travel.

Between the realms of Yin and Yang lies a hidden layer known to cultivators as the Yin-Yang Path. This path is incredibly mysterious, almost like Minecraft.

It's the same as the lower realm.

It will appear in the lower realm, that is, taking one step in the Yin-Yang path will turn into taking ten, a hundred, or even ten thousand steps in the Yang realm.

The Yin-Yang Road is quite dangerous. For example, he just encountered a female ghost who was lusting after him, but they had no connection. Well, he banished this female ghost to the border.

After finishing his thoughts, Zhao Zheng arrived at a muddy official road and saw more than a dozen walking corpses and a zombie nailed to the ground.

And a middle-aged Taoist priest, wearing a purple-red Taoist robe and with a peach wood sword stuck in his chest, lay on the ground.

"Master, your disciple is incompetent, allowing the zombies—"

As he spoke, the middle-aged Taoist priest's neck tilted to the side, and he died. Zhao Zheng looked at the lit-up Thousand Faces talent but did not immediately choose to use it.

Instead, he continued to wait behind the tree for the monk and a Taoist who was also practicing martial arts. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, he did not see anyone appear, which made him regretfully step forward.

"Good people don't live long."
