Later on the journey westward, Nie Changchuan was fearless and completely tore the Buddhist script to pieces.

At Gao Village, Nie Changchuan brought Sun Wukong to the door and flattened Fuling Mountain with one palm. He grabbed Zhu Bajie from Yunzhan Cave, then took out cumin and barbecue powder he carried with him, set up the barbecue grill by himself, and lit the Samadhi Fire. Zhu Bajie was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, calling him Master.

In the Quicksand River, Nie Changchuan cut the river with one palm, beating Sha Wujing to pieces, then tore apart the skull rosary made from the skull of a previous pilgrim around his neck, extracted his soul, stuffed it into a fish in the river, and cooked it for his own enjoyment.

After steaming, braising, and salt-roasting Sha Wujing, Nie Changchuan finally forgave Sha Wujing, stuffed his soul back into his demon body, and gladly accepted Sha Wujing's terrified kneeling.

Afterwards, the master and his four disciples headed west.

Nie Changchuan would not let go of any demons he met on the road, no matter their background or identity, as long as they had eaten humans and done evil.

Because of this, the four masters and apprentices encountered fewer disasters, but also encountered many more disasters that were not in the original work.

For example, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, even Taishang Laojun and Maitreya Buddha, all fought with them to a greater or lesser extent.

As for the reason, it was very simple. Who asked Nie Changchuan to not give them face and kill their mounts or assistants in front of them?

Thanks to the blessings of these immortals, gods and Buddhas, Tang Sanzang's reputation spread throughout the three realms and four seas, making many demons tremble in fear.

Even the three demon kings of the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge, upon hearing that Tang Monk was about to arrive, hurriedly ordered their little demons to clean up the cave and make sure they would not be discovered by the monk who was urging them to die.

In this way, the four masters and apprentices fought arrogantly all the way from Chang'an to Lingshan.

In the main hall, Venerable Ananda and Venerable Kasyapa stepped forward and demanded money from Master Nie Changchuan and his disciples in exchange for the true scriptures.

Nie Changchuan immediately chanted the Buddha's name, revealed his golden body, and smashed the lotus platform under the Buddha's seat with one palm. Then he grabbed their collars and asked them where the true scriptures were.

The two venerables remained silent. Tathagata showed a compassionate look on his face, raised his palm and clapped it, then started fighting with Master Nie Changchuan and his three disciples.

Nie Changchuan was not afraid at all. He used all his methods, integrating all the insights he gained from the five years of journey to the West, manifesting the form of Mahabrahma and colliding head-on with Tathagata.

The two fought fiercely on Lingshan Mountain for three days and three nights. Finally, Tathagata was defeated and asked for help from the upper realm, which attracted a ray of divine consciousness from the deity to suppress him.

At the same time, silver light bloomed in the sky, and a Taoist priest in a green robe floated over. He waved his sleeves and froze everything in the world.

Looking at the smiling Taoist in green robe, Nie Changchuan was slightly startled and couldn't help asking, "Is it you?"

The Taoist in green robe smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, awakening the past that was sealed in his mind.

After digesting the information in his mind, Nie Changchuan showed a complicated expression, and finally understood everything.

He chanted the Buddha's name, and then cut off his own cause and effect, separating into a Dharmakāya of Brahma with great magical powers and boundless power, and a white-robed monk whose cultivation was decent but completely incomparable to the former.

Seeing this, the Taoist in green robe sighed, turned his head to look at the sky, and seemed to be communicating with another person.

After a moment, the Taoist in green robe turned around, nodded to the white-robed monk, and then waved his sleeves, wrapped the Dharma body of Lord Brahma in silver light, and sent it to the upper realm.

At this point, Nie Changchuan himself obtained a true immortal-level Buddhist clone, while his spiritual reincarnation body became independent and stayed in this world, becoming the real Chen Xuanzang.

In the Ziwei Palace, looking at Lin Zhongtian and the reincarnated body of his divine consciousness in the silver light curtain, Nie Changchuan himself couldn't help but sigh.

It has to be said that Jade Ding Zhenren's Great Dream Immortal Technique is indeed powerful. In less than a week in Ziwei Palace, he obtained an incarnation comparable to a true immortal, and it was a golden body of Buddha that he had never seen before.

Now, he is practicing both Buddhism and Taoism, and can learn by analogy from other practices, which can completely take his cultivation to a higher level.

but……

Nie Changchuan sighed and said, "Sure enough, with my personality, this kind of practice is not suitable for me. My reincarnated body has too strong a sense of self-awareness. As long as I have more experience, I will easily reject my original body."

Just like now, his spiritual reincarnation gained freedom from his original body at the cost of giving up all his cultivation.

Of course, the Great Dream Immortal Art has long had a way to restrain this. If Nie Changchuan himself is unwilling, even if his reincarnated spirit gives up everything, it will be difficult for him to escape from his grasp.

But how could Nie Changchuan possibly refuse his request?

He chose to let go, leaving Chen Xuanzang in that world...

Hearing Nie Changchuan's words, Jade Ding Zhenren beside him nodded and said, "I have said before that practicing this technique is extremely risky. If you don't have a firm enough heart of Taoism, it is very easy to get lost in the experience of reincarnation."

Nie Changchuan nodded and looked at Jade Ding Zhenren with admiration.

He finally understood why Boss Lin had repeatedly invited this guy to join the alliance.

He was able to create the Great Dream Immortal Technique, reincarnate hundreds of times, and still maintain a firm heart of Taoism. Even his reincarnated spirit body could willingly return to its original body. This is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

At least Nie Changchuan thought he could never do it.

He even didn't dare to use the Great Dream Immortal Technique again, for fear that a third 'Nie Changchuan' would appear in this world.

Soon, a silver light flashed in the Ziwei Palace, and Lin Zhongtian dealt with the aftermath and returned to the upper realm.

He looked at Nie Changchuan, who was looking very emotional, and said, "I have communicated with Tathagata. From now on, the Buddhist sect in that world will be led by his divine incarnation. Your divine incarnation and your four disciples can all become Buddhas and achieve enlightenment."

"As for cultivation and magic power, although your divine consciousness reincarnation has abandoned them all, with his current realm of enlightenment, it will take at most a few years to regain his magic power."

"And in the past few years, with the protection of the Alliance, no one in that world could harm him."

"If you're worried, I can help you fix the spatial coordinates so that you can monitor in real time through the Void Jade Card."

Nie Changchuan thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, since the cause and effect have been cut off, from now on he is him and I am me..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "That won't work. Have you forgotten that the alliance just passed a proposal not long ago on whether individual members' clones enjoy formal membership qualifications and rights?"

"The final result is that the original member of the alliance and all his clones - whether independent or dependent - can only share the same qualification. If you abandon him like this, he will not be eligible to join the alliance in the future."

At this point, Lin Zhongtian turned to look at Master Yu Ding and said, "As for why Xu Kong suddenly proposed this motion, Yu Ding, I think you should understand, right?"

"Um."

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded and said calmly: "If the independent clone can also join the alliance as an individual, then with my ability, I can completely turn the alliance's Supreme Council, which was originally established for democracy, into a one-man show for me..."

Hearing Master Yu Ding's words, Nie Changchuan was slightly startled, and then he finally reacted.

Since obtaining the spell of incarnation, the Alliance has initiated discussions on the rights of member clones many times.

But at that time, the vast majority of members believed that as long as the connection of blood, soul, memory, and even the causal level was severed, the clone could be regarded as a completely independent individual.

Until the alliance met Jade Ding Zhenren.

This guy is a special case. His connection with his clone is not in the spirit and soul, or even in cause and effect, but in the heart of Tao.

Theoretically, as long as he wanted, he could create thousands of independent clones that met the alliance's previous standards, and he could also reach a tacit understanding with these clones without communicating, and by exploiting loopholes in the alliance's rules, he could achieve his goal of controlling the Supreme Council.

Taking this into consideration, the Void urgently proposed a related motion and successfully passed it after convening half of the alliance members.

Thinking of this, Nie Changchuan sighed and said, "So, this guy has to be tied to me for the rest of his life?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Why don't you go ask him for his opinion?"

Nie Changchuan thought about it, shrugged and said, "Okay, although it always feels a bit weird to talk to myself..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled when he heard this, and then asked, "Oh, by the way, didn't you say before that after this trial, you planned to reincarnate into the world where time travelers exist?"

"Have you changed your mind now?"

“Nonsense!” Nie Changchuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “Whoever wants to go can go. I’m not going anyway!”

Lin Zhongtian had expected this, and he immediately laughed, raised his hand and waved it. A rich silver light suddenly burst out, carrying Nie Changchuan into the void and descending into the small world where Chen Xuanzang was.

However, although Nie Changchuan was unwilling to use the Great Dream Immortal Technique again, he still had to send someone to meet the time traveler from the lower world.

Lin Zhongtian's mind moved, and there were reactions in the void gap and on the Ziwei Emperor Star. A brand new portal appeared in the Traveler Square and in the newly built Teleportation Hall of the Heavens on the Ziwei Star.

…

…

Ever since Lin Zhongtian led a group of alliance members to participate in the Ullambana Festival in Lingshan, the strength of many members has made a qualitative leap.

Especially those alliance members who were at a lower level, they were able to advance to several levels at once, and they even had a clear idea of ​​the future path of cultivation, and there was no bottleneck in their practice.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the overall strength of the alliance members.

But at the same time, this also led to a trend of seclusion in the alliance.

Many time and space travelers went into seclusion to practice, trying to digest the gains from the Ullambana Festival.

After Lin Zhongtian took over Ziwei Palace and built the Teleportation Hall, only one or two time travelers in the alliance had walked out of the building to accept missions, while the others were basically immersed in cultivation and were unwilling to go out at all.

After all, compared to the increasing number of heavens and worlds, the number of alliance members is still too small.

In order to prevent some time travelers from following the same fate as Du Qian in his previous life and dying tragically before the time traveler arrived, Lin Zhongtian and Xukong came up with a plan -

That is the proposal issued by the time traveler’s golden finger regarding the mythological multiverse!
