In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system
Chapter 797: Journey to the West Sequel - Salvation Merit 23Surprisingly, after hearing Ruyi's idea, Baiyi Wutan firmly expressed his unwillingness to become a Buddha.
"The position of Buddha originally belonged to Brother Tathagata. I am not willing and cannot become Buddha for my own selfish reasons. Whether it is me with good intentions or me with evil intentions, it is still me. If I with good intentions become Buddha, it is no different from recognizing Wu Tian as Buddha. I really don't want this to happen."
Ruyi listened to Bai Yi Wu Tian muttering about how Tathagata was the one destined by heaven and that she was not worthy of being the Buddha. The expression on her face became uglier and uglier. She was really angry.
If it wasn't for the merit of saving the world, Ruyi would have just swept the place with his quasi-saint cultivation. There would be no need to go through all this nonsense, which was not satisfying at all.
On the one hand, Ruyi has to maintain the integrity of the comprehensive world required by the Great Heavenly Dao, and on the other hand, he has to avoid being overwritten by the final ending that the Heavenly Dao in "The Sequel to Journey to the West" wants. The solution that Ruyi finally came up with fell at the most unexpected step.
She originally thought that since it was all Wu Tian, Bai Yi Wu Tian naturally wanted to be a Buddha, but she didn't consider that Bai Yi Wu Tian was actually the self-sacrificing type who refused to eat even when food was fed to him.
"Haha." Ruyi laughed angrily, "You said you don't want to be a Buddha, right?"
"I am a poor monk..."
"Alright, no need to explain. I get it. Just don't be the Buddha." Ruyi was too lazy to listen to Bai Yi Wu Tian's explanation. She nodded to show her understanding, but said, "Since you don't want to be the Buddha, it means you are useless, so you can just disappear!"
Since he can't be used by me, there is no point in keeping Bai Yi Wu Tian. Ruyi directly used a Sky-Flipping Palm to slap Bai Yi Wu Tian away.
"Tsk, what a waste of time!" Ruyi snorted and watched Bai Yi Wu Tian disappear into the air. After Bai Yi Wu Tian disappeared, he left behind a black lotus. Ruyi picked up the black lotus, checked it and confirmed that it was Wu Tian's soul. He sneered and put it directly into the space.
Just as she was about to leave, Ruyi suddenly remembered something. She turned back to the iron room where the gods and immortals were imprisoned and opened the door of the iron room with the black lotus. The gods didn't know whether Ruyi was a friend or an enemy. When they saw Ruyi opening the iron room to let them leave, they looked at each other and finally Taibai Jinxing took the initiative to come out and talk to Ruyi as a representative.
"I am Taibai Jinxing. Thank you for helping me open the cell. Could you please tell me your name? I will definitely reward you handsomely after I get out."
"There's no need for a generous reward. You should just leave the Asura Realm as soon as possible!" Although according to the original plot, these gods would be fine until the end, but considering the request of the Great Heavenly Dao to save the lives of the main characters, Ruyi still gave them a hand.
Before leaving, Ruyi specifically reminded them that the Heavenly Palace had been occupied by the fake Jade Emperor and fake gods, and they must be more careful when they go out. After Ruyi left, the souls left the iron room and the Asura Realm one after another. As for how they were going to find their bodies, Ruyi didn't care.
The Buddha she had planned for was gone, so she decided to find another one. So after leaving the Asura world, Ruyi once again crossed the sea of blood and returned to the underworld. After arriving in the underworld, Ruyi changed back into a black robe and used the same trick to find a little demon to lead the way.
This time, Ruyi plans to go directly to the dungeon in the underworld where Lingshan Buddha is imprisoned. She decides to be a person who repays favors. After all, she has absorbed so much merit from Tang Sanzang, so Ruyi plans to find Tang Sanzang directly and give him an opportunity. As for the fragment of the Heavenly Dao in "The Sequel to Journey to the West" on his body, Ruyi naturally has a way to solve it.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Ruyi arrived at the dungeon where the gods and Buddhas of Lingshan were imprisoned without any obstacles. However, before she could deal with the little demon who was leading the way, she was surrounded by Wutan, Heipao and their men.
"Ruyi, I didn't expect that you would still choose to stand on the side of Tathagata. This time, I will definitely not show mercy!" As the leader, Wutan stood in front of the demons without hesitation. After seeing Ruyi, he immediately took the lead in attacking.
Ruyi flew backwards and opened his palms, ready to activate the Thunder Technique. The man in black robe noticed that Ruyi's palms were flashing with lightning, and immediately thought of the world-destroying thunder punishment at Wuzhuang Temple. He stopped immediately and ordered his men to retreat collectively.
"Quick, retreat, it's the same move as last time, everyone retreat quickly!"
Ruyi glanced at the retreating black robe, but didn't care. She just stared seriously at Wutan who was rushing towards her through the lightning. Wutan was very fast. In just a blink of an eye, a black shadow was beside Ruyi. Ruyi turned around quickly, dodged Wutan's attack and slapped him with a palm.
The dazzling lightning collided with the black and purple demonic energy, making a crackling sound, as if a raging fire hit ice, and the ice was disappearing madly while also extinguishing the raging fire.
As he realized that the previous move did not cause any harm to Wutan, he quickly retracted his left hand and replaced the thunder technique in his right hand with a golden sword. Without waiting for Wutan to come back to his senses, he directly pierced Wutan with the sword.
"Buddha!" Seeing Wutan being pierced by Ruyi, the black-robed demons were suddenly panicked.
After the prehistoric times, the way of heaven no longer allowed saints to appear, so the highest level of cultivation that all gods and Buddhas could achieve was quasi-saint. Wu Tian was the earliest great protector of the Buddha, so his level of cultivation was naturally that of a quasi-saint.
He originally thought that with his level of cultivation, apart from Tathagata, who was also a quasi-saint like him, only Sun Wukong, with the power of the relic, could fight against him. However, he did not expect that he would be injured by Ruyi today.
"I'm fine." Wu Tian quickly dodged, covering his abdominal wound while comforting his men. He frowned with disbelief, "How could you hurt me? Are you a quasi-saint?"
"Guess?" Ruyi wanted to strike again, but she didn't expect Wu Tian to react so quickly and didn't give her any chance at all. Seeing that this man was still struggling with his cultivation, Ruyi gathered his strength again, stared at Wu Tian, and looked for the opportunity to attack.
Wutan could not accept Ruyi's perfunctory attitude. He was unwilling to believe that there was a quasi-saint in this world. He shouted, "How can you be a quasi-saint? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!" while attacking Ruyi with all his strength.
Once Wutan got serious, Ruyi was unable to resist. His figure was strange, disorderly and fast. Although Ruyi had reached a certain level of cultivation, the opponents he had always fought against always used a bold and aggressive style. Suddenly, facing such a swift and strange attack from Wutan, he actually found it a bit strenuous for a moment.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Ruyi to adapt to Wutian's attack method. She was no longer just passively defending, but calmly observing and attacking Wutian when she found a gap. Although Ruyi's attack was not as intensive as Wutian's, the damage of her attack was not comparable to that of Wutian's attack.
Wu Tian was soon stabbed all over by Ruyi. Of course, Ruyi was not in a good condition either. She had already consumed a lot of mana in her two previous crossings of the sea of blood. In order to inflict damage to Wu Tian, she also spent a lot of mana to condense the golden sword. Realizing that she could not take Tang Sanzang with her today, Ruyi had to leave alone.
