Journey to the West: Tathagata exposed different identities at the beginning

This retreat lasted for eight months.

Inside the Dragon King Hall, under the dignified aura, a pair of deep dragon pupils suddenly opened!

The entire Dragon King Hall trembled at this moment.

Several rays of precious light burst out from Jiang Feng's body, interweaving into a brilliant light.

A panel then appeared in front of Jiang Feng:
【Jiang Feng】

【Position: Sovereign of Dao Sect】

[Zongmen: Daozong]

[Realm: Half-step quasi-sage initial stage]

[Bloodline: Zulong (Consummation)]

[Cultivation method: Hongmeng Ancestral Dragon Jue]

[Magic weapons: Chaos Orb, Chaos Clock, Twelve-Rank World-Exterminating Black Lotus, Order of Heaven and Earth, Shennong Ding, Four Banners of Earth, Fengshuihuo, Killing God Spear, Qibao Miaoshu Staff, Four Immortal Swords (Execution Immortal Sword, Absolute Immortal Sword, Trapped Immortal Sword) , Killing Immortal Sword), Zhuxian Formation (Blue Dragon, Suzaku), Dijiang Hades Banner, Zhurong Hades Banner, Nai He Gui, Sanguang Shenshui, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil...]

[Supernatural powers: the real body of the ancestral dragon, three heads and six arms, the Buddha Kingdom in the palm, golden crow into rainbow technique, samadhi real fire, five-color divine light...]

Jiang Feng looked at the panel data and nodded in satisfaction.

Today, although Jiang Feng's realm is still in the early stages of a half-step quasi-sage, his strength has greatly improved after mastering the two treasures of the Chaos Orb and the Chaos Clock.

"Perhaps, we can try not relying on the god-killing gun Tiansha, and deal with the strong in the early stage of quasi-sage."

"only……"

Jiang Feng found a problem.

At the beginning, before he had reached half-step quasi-sage, the panel would display the cultivation level needed to break through to the next stage, or it could be understood as...experience points.

But now, this part of the experience panel has disappeared, and there is only a half-step quasi-sage initial state.

"Dog system, what's going on?"

Jiang Feng asked bluntly.

[You bastard, you don’t even know about this. Of course, after reaching the half-step quasi-sage, the promotion of the realm no longer requires the accumulation of cultivation alone.]

[Once enlightened, the promotion of Dao Xin can promote the improvement of the realm. These are all fortunes that can be encountered but cannot be sought, so they cannot be converted into a progress bar]

The system responded angrily.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded secretly.

That's it!

"Besides this, are there other ways to advance?"

Jiang Feng asked.

Judging from his current situation, it is better to secure some promotions than fight for fortune.

After all, good fortune, if you are unlucky, you won't come across it for tens of thousands of years, that's normal.

Heavenly Court and Buddhism will not give him this time to slowly improve.

【…】

The system was silent for a moment, and the electronic tone sounded again:
[Half-step quasi-sages and quasi-sages, and even the realm of saints, can be promoted by relying on merit. Although merit is precious, it is a panacea]

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Feng couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Merit?

Isn't riding a horse the same as not saying anything?
"A gift from God, this Journey to the West is not over yet, where is the merit!"

"The merit of the last calamity has been divided up by the saint. Even if there is something left, how can I snatch it from the saint?"

"I said, you dog system, can you say something useful?"

Jiang Feng said displeased.

[You bastard, if you say you are stupid, you are not smart. There are two kinds of merits. The merits and virtues you said are bestowed by heaven are the merits of heaven, and they have magical effects on the strong below the heavens.If the merits of the Heavenly Dao are sufficient, one can even become a virtuous saint! 】

[Back then, Nu Wa relied on the merit of mending the sky and creating man to achieve the position of virtuous sage]

[In addition to the merits of the way of heaven, there is also a kind of merit of faith. The merit of faith is transformed by the belief of all living beings. Although it is not as mysterious as the merit of the way of heaven, it has a good effect on the realm below the saint.]

The system reminded.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded secretly.

The merit of heaven, the merit of faith!
As he digested these two unfamiliar words, he couldn't help thinking.

"No wonder, the Buddhist sects of heaven are all arrogant and domineering places where filth is hidden. In their eyes, mortals are even more humble like ants, but they still have to work hard to maintain their bright and decent image in front of mortals."

"It turned out that it was to harvest faith and gain merits of faith..."

Jiang Feng secretly said in his heart.

Although the merit of belief is not as good as the merit of the way of heaven, but in this era where saints do not appear, quasi-sages are heaven!
Whether a power is powerful or not, and whether its background is profound or not, the most important criterion is the number of quasi-sages.

The panacea resources that can be used to shape quasi-sages must be precious!

"Having harvested the beliefs of sentient beings for several kalpas, there are only a few quasi-sages in heaven and Buddhism, and there are only a handful of them."

"It seems that the merit of faith required to achieve the quasi-sage realm is undoubtedly an astronomical figure..."

Jiang Feng muttered to himself.

【Ah……】

Just then, a disdainful laugh came.

Jiang Feng frowned,
"I seemed to hear someone laughing at me just now, dog system, is it you?"

[It's this system, what's the matter, do you think that all quasi-sages are like you, wish the sword to take the lead and improve the realm with merit? 】

[Though not all of the three worlds today, at least [-]% of the quasi-sages are accomplished by relying on their own perception.Only under special circumstances, will the merits of faith be used to achieve the quasi-sage realm]

[As for the two behemoths of Heaven and Buddhism, the real function of the merit of faith is not to achieve quasi-sages, but a kind of... Luck! 】

[Those with unlucky luck can inherit the avenue of heaven and earth and prosper forever! 】

[For those with weak luck, even if everyone is like a dragon and powerful against the sky, they will inevitably end up in ruins! 】

Between the two, one can compare the current Heavenly Court with the ancient Monster Race Heavenly Court.

In today's court, there are only a few quasi-sages, and their strength is almost unstoppable even by Buddhism, but they are still the masters of the three realms, and they will continue to prosper.

But the Heavenly Court of the ancient monster clan never harvested their beliefs. Even the monster emperor Jun sacrificed a witch-slaying sword to deal with the ancestor witches.

Without the blessing of faith and merit, luck is unstable, and no matter how powerful the demon clan Heavenly Court is, it will inevitably end in disintegration.

Of course, these were not what Jiang Feng wanted to care about.

What he cares about is that since Heavenly Court and Buddhism want to suppress the luck of their own forces with the merit of faith, doesn't that mean that there is enough luck hidden in these two behemoths to help Jiang Feng become a quasi-sage?

"Dog system, how much does it take to improve the realm with the merit of faith?"

Jiang Feng asked.

[At the request of the cubs, we are transforming the method of realm promotion! 】

[Realm: half-step quasi-sage early stage (300 million belief merits from the quasi-sage realm)]

300?
Although I don't know how the merit of faith is calculated, it doesn't seem too difficult compared to the tens of millions of cultivation bases at the beginning.

Well, it should be...

……

At the same time, outside the Dragon King Hall.

Luo Xiyan successfully refined three Huangzhong plums, cleansing her tendons and changing her marrow, and her strength rose.

In terms of realm, although there is no improvement, the foundation is more solid, and it is not far from breaking through to the late stage of Da Luo Jinxian.

She felt the blood that had been purified by Huang Zhongli and the mana in her body, and a trance flashed in her eyes.

"All of this is thanks to Jiang Feng..."

"If he is not the target of the mission of the ancestor, he and I...maybe become friends."

"Now, he is kind to me, should I follow the order of the patriarch and bring him back to the world of Ashura..."

"After taking it back, what will happen to him?"

For a moment, Luo Xiyan fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall, pulling her back from thinking to reality.

"Luo Xiyan, I... want to challenge you one-on-one!"

A soft drink came, Luo Xi's beautiful eyes froze,
"Hmph, who doesn't have eyes, is bothering me at this time?"

"It just so happens that the princess is in a bad mood, so I'll take it out on you!"
