Li Xunhuan: "Looks like not all the bald donkeys are bad guys!"
Lord of Devouring: "What if he achieves Buddhahood? What will you do?"
Fahai: "I said, he won't achieve Buddhahood. Buddha wouldn't be so indiscriminating."
Lord of Devouring: "Well said!"
Lord of Devouring: "Then I'll ask you again, if all of this was arranged by Buddha, including the lives of those tens of thousands of people, all arranged to allow this person to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha, then what?"
Fahai: "Demon, are you still slandering Buddha?"
He almost couldn't resist using the Great Majestic Dragon technique against the chat group interface.
But Fahai knew that the person before him was not even in the same world as he was. He was afraid that even if the Buddha came, he might not be able to hurt this person named Jiang Li across the barrier.
Lord of Devouring: "You have always been unwilling to think about the things I've hypothesized. I don't know if you're guilty, or if you have confidence in your Buddha!"
Lord of Devouring: "However, none of this matters!"
Lord of Devouring: "Because what I'm saying isn't a hypothesis at all, but a real event!"
Lord of Devouring: "And this event will happen to you immediately!"
Lord of Devouring: "In your world, there's a Demon with a very prominent background who is being arranged by Guanyin to undergo a tribulation and become an immortal, and you, too, are arranged to undergo a tribulation and become a Buddha."
Lord of Devouring: "When that time comes, the fight between you, one a Demon and the other a Buddha, will kill tens of thousands of people!"
Lord of Devouring: "After those tens of thousands of people die, that Demon will ascend and join the ranks of the immortals, and you will also be guided to the Western Paradise to cultivate and become a Buddha!"
The Devourer Lord: "You two become immortals and Buddhas, with a bright future, and those tens of thousands of people died in vain!"
Shi Potian: "Holy shit, after all that talk, it turns out Fahai is just a guy who got in through connections!"
Yan Shisan: "No wonder he's happily being a running dog of the Buddhist sect, turns out he's already arranged to become a Buddha!"
Chen Beixuan: "The lives of tens of thousands of innocent people, how can you, you beast, become a Buddha with peace of mind!"
Long Bo: "This guy has been yapping here for so long, let's see what he does now."
Zombie Taoist @ Fahai: "Will you become a Buddha? Or will you go and kill Guanyin, who arranged all of this?"
Fahai: "Ridiculous, absurd. I don't even know these things. Do you think you're more powerful than the Buddha, that you even know the arrangements of the Buddha and Guanyin?"
Apparently, Fahai still didn't believe Jiang Li's words.
Thinking these things wouldn't happen to them.
Peach Blossom Island's Little Chef: "I wonder who's being ridiculous, actually suspecting Big Boss Jiang Li!"
Yue: "Instead of suspecting Big Boss Jiang Li here, you should think about what you'd do if something like this really happened."
Master of Devouring: "Palace Master Yue is right. Think about it. You'll soon find out if I'm more powerful than your Buddha!"
Fahai: "You Demon, have no respect for immortals and Buddhas. If you were in my world, I would have subdued you long ago!"
Chen Beixuan: "A frog in a well! If you were in front of Big Boss Jiang Li, even his fart could obliterate you!"
Master of Devouring: "Water Flooding Jinshan Temple! Just remember those words!"
Fahai: "What Water Flooding Jinshan Temple? Explain yourself!"
Swallowing Master: "After killing so many people, I just want to know, will you become a Buddha with a clear conscience, or will you give Guanyin a Great Majestic Dragon?"
Jiang Li said this and went offline, not saying anything more.
In the world of the Green Snake, Fahai frowned deeply at this moment.
Although he was arrogant and stubborn, it didn't mean he wouldn't think.
The people in the chat group had different thoughts from those in his world, and their perspectives on issues were also different.
Or rather, the people in the chat group placed more importance on the lives and deaths of the common people.
Logically speaking, when a person achieves enlightenment, they should become a Buddha.
But the people in the chat group would think about the innocent people who died; who would be responsible for their lives!
After watching for a while, Fahai was infected by this way of thinking.
"If what this Jiang Li says is true, can I really become a Buddha with a clear conscience?"
Fahai's heart trembled.
Before today, he had never considered this question.
As long as he could achieve enlightenment, that was all that mattered.
He had never thought about whether he should atone for the mistakes he had made along the way.
If Guanyin really became a Buddha and ascended for a Demon and caused the death of over a hundred thousand people, could he become a Buddha with a clear conscience?
Or, according to what Jiang Li said, unleash a Great Majestic Dragon on Guanyin?
"Amitabha!"
"Damn Demon, you dare to disturb my Buddha-heart!"
Fahai's expression changed.
As he considered Jiang Li's question, whether to unleash a Great Majestic Dragon on Guanyin, he found his Buddha-power was in disarray.
In fact, Jiang Li, who hadn't studied the cultivation system of the mythical world, didn't realize it was actually somewhat different from the cultivation system of the Xianxia world.
The mythical world's cultivation system actually involved faith! A portion of the cultivators' cultivation in the mythical world came from their own training, and another portion came from the feedback of faith.
Because of Jiang Li's words, Fahai had begun to question and disbelieve in the Buddha. He immediately suffered a backlash from his faith, and his Buddha-heart was thrown into chaos.
His Buddha-heart in turmoil, not only did he have numerous illusions, but even his Buddha-power became chaotic.
...
Swallowing worlds.
After his consciousness exited the chat group, Jiang Li didn't bother with what Fahai was thinking.
He'd been cozying up with Lingling for several days.
Soon,
Jiang Li received an invitation to the Qianwu Auction. As a five-star customer of the Cosmic Star River Bank, he could bring a companion to the auction.
Accompanying the arrival of the triennial Qianwu Auction, the crowds in the floating city gradually increased.
During this time.
Jiang Li, leveraging his Cosmic Star River Bank privileges, sold the cosmic crystals and surplus treasures he obtained in his world within a world through special channels, converting them into cosmic currency.
Then, according to the Limit Martial Arts Institute's allocation system, he transferred nearly 3 trillion cosmic currency to Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor respectively.
Jiang Li himself received nearly 7 trillion cosmic currency, equivalent to 7 mixed yuan units.
This amount of wealth wasn't much to Jiang Li now.
But the feeling of earning it through his own efforts was different.
Soon.
The Qianwu Auction arrived as scheduled.
Jiang Li and Lingling, hand in hand, strolled towards the most dazzling building in the floating city.
"Hello, sir. Welcome to this session of the Qianwu Auction. Please show your invitation card."
"Hello, miss. Welcome…"
Men and women, some in gorgeous attire, others in simple, ancient clothing, some human, others of the sub-human races, were checked and allowed to enter the Qianwu Auction.
"There are so many people!"
Jiang Li and Lingling were also in line. In front of them was a burly, black-robed man. Even in the virtual universe network, the natural aura of a strong individual emanating from him made Jiang Li and Lingling feel pressured.
"Three-star clients. Almost all of them are World Lords. Only a very few merchants or young people with super backgrounds can reach this level."
Babata's voice sighed in Jiang Li's mind, "Of course, you are also a young person with a super background now."
"Just luck."
Jiang Li still had a smile on his face as he arrived at the entrance of the Qianwu Auction with his wife.
"Brother, I'm Liu Dahua from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in the Cuilang Starfield. May I ask which family or organization you belong to?"
A burly man with a peculiar appearance, who was part of another group beside Jiang Li, greeted him with a smile.
At the Qianwu Auction, World Lords were the norm, so such individuals didn't attract much attention.
Those who appeared to be weak, on the other hand, often made other strong individuals cautious. People like Jiang Li, who had the qualifications to attend the Qianwu Auction at the star level, generally had terrifying backgrounds. Even World Lords or Immortals would be happy to befriend them.
It's worth noting that even the princes of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were only second-star customers.
"Oh."
Jiang Li glanced at Liu Dahua and simply stated, "Jiang Li. No family, no organization."
