Start your journey to immortality from Naruto

"Soon, after a month of registration, the entire Han Empire gathered nearly a thousand candidates to seek the scriptures.

After repeated screening by the authorities, some candidates were eliminated. The remaining 100 candidates, who were very satisfied in both physical fitness and Buddhist knowledge, were taken to the capital Chang'an under the leadership of the authorities to compete in the final round.

"Really? Why do you have to target me? I don't like Buddhism at all. How many times have you harmed me since I was a child?

On the way to Chang'an, Chen Xuanzang sat in the car and complained:

"What are you thinking about? Xuanzang, you are the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata. You are the most important person to obtain the scriptures on this journey to the West. Do you understand?"

Guanyin, who had been paying attention to Chen Xuanzang, listened to Chen Xuanzang's complaints and said to Chen Xuanzang helplessly.

"Bodhisattva, then tell me, am I Jin Chanzi or Chen Xuanzang now?"

Chen Xuanzang, who had taken a course on socialism, heard the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva and immediately questioned Guanyin angrily.

"This... this... of course you are Chen Xuanzang, what's the problem?"

After hearing what Chen Xuanzang said, Guanyin was suddenly speechless. Finally, thinking of the important human destiny in Chen Xuanzang, she could only explain helplessly.

"Haha, that's it. Since I'm Chen Xuanzang, you don't need to use your identity as Jin Chanzi to pressure me."

Chen Xuanzang was delighted by what Guanyin said, and he smiled and said,

"Alright, alright, Xuanzang. I can't give up on the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures just because of you."

"Remember, this journey to the West involves not only you, but also many saints and quasi-saints."

"If you are unable to successfully complete the journey to the West, then your original body, the Golden Cicada, must reincarnate again until the journey to the West is successfully completed. Do you understand?"

"And your current identity will most likely be directly erased by the saints."

Guanyin looked at Chen Xuanzang seriously and spoke to him in a deep voice.

"You...you guys are too vicious."

When Chen Xuanzang heard what Guanyin explained, he suddenly felt a headache and spoke to Guanyin incoherently.

"Xuanzang, although what I am going to say next is extremely inappropriate, it is also very appropriate."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs. Saints are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs. You have to think clearly about the relationship between them, understand?"

When Guanyin heard Chen Xuanzang's words, a sinister smile appeared on her originally gentle face, and she spoke to Chen Xuanzang in a gloomy tone.

"Okay, I get it. I'll try my best."

After listening to what Guanyin said and looking at his sinister expression, Chen Xuanzang reluctantly obeyed Guanyin and spoke to her in a low voice.

After entering Chang'an, the 100 candidates for the journey to the West who were selected from all over the Han Empire began to grow step by step under official training.

After rounds of screening, Chen Xuanzang and a monk named Li Ruhai were finally selected.

This young monk named Li Ruhai had no talent in studying, but he was very good in sports.

Because his family was poor, he joined the Shaolin Temple's martial arts monks.

Unexpectedly, Li Ruhai, who joined the Shaolin monks team, was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also had an excellent understanding of Buddhism.

For this reason, the monks of Shaolin Temple specially gave Li Ruhai a Buddhist name, Fahai.

"Brother Chen, you look so fair and tender. The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is 108,000 miles, which is a very long way. Why don't you just surrender and admit defeat?"

Li Ruhai looked at the fair and tender Chen Xuanzang, and thought of how Chen Xuanzang encountered demons and monsters on the way to obtain Buddhist scriptures and could not even run away, so he kindly persuaded Chen Xuanzang.

"Brother Li, although I cannot beat you in martial arts, I will never admit defeat so easily. Just give up on this idea."

Chen Xuanzang felt very warm in his heart when he heard Li Ruhai's caring words. But when he thought of the threats from Guanyin Bodhisattva before, and that he would disappear forever, and that he would have to reincarnate again and again, he shuddered instantly and rejected Li Ruhai solemnly.

"Okay, since Junior Brother Chen is so courageous, I will not persuade you any more. Let's see who is the real winner."

Li Ruhai looked at Chen Xuanzang's determined eyes, shouted loudly, and raised his Arhat Fist, quickly attacking Chen Xuanzang.

Chen Xuanzang did not specifically learn any martial arts, so facing Li Ruhai's actions, he could only rely on his excellent physique to dodge back and forth.

However, as the reincarnation of the six-winged golden cicada, Chen Xuanzang's strength and speed were not slow. He easily dodged Li Ruhai's attack.

"Junior Brother Chen, you are very skilled, you better be careful next time.

When Li Ruhai saw that Chen Xuance had dodged it easily, he was extremely delighted and shouted at Chen Xuanzang, then attacked him at a rapid speed.

However, when Chen Xuanzang heard Li Ruhai's voice, he was stunned on the spot for a moment, as if he had heard a dragon's roar.

Faced with Li Ruhai's attack, Cheng Xuanzang had no time to react and was hit hard in the face by Li Ruhai's punch.

Blood instantly filled Chen Xuanzang's mouth.

Faced with such an attack, ordinary people would probably have fallen to the ground long ago. Even Guanyin, who was watching the battle from above, felt her heart in her throat when she saw Chen Xuanzang like this.

"Oh, die!"

Chen Xuanzang was stimulated by the smell of blood, and the murderous spirit from the six-foot golden cicada deep in his soul was instantly aroused.

Chen Xuanzang clenched his fists and quickly attacked Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai, who originally thought that he had won, watched as Cheng Xuanzang flew in front of him as if he had turned into a shadow. His fists continuously attacked Li Ruhai and quickly knocked Li Ruhai out of the ring.

"Okay, Chen Xuanzang wins."

A human immortal nearby, after seeing Chen Xuanzang win, excitedly rushed to the stage, grabbed one of Chen Xuanzang's arms, and announced loudly to everyone in the audience.

"Oh, good, good, good, good."

The Buddhist spectators around saw Chen Xuanzang win and cheered to him wildly and excitedly.

When Chen Xuanzang heard the cheers from the crowd below, the murderous spirit that had been aroused by the six-foot golden cicada suddenly disappeared, as the blood in his mouth had already flowed out.

"Chen Xuanzang, congratulations. You have obtained the qualification to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

Li Ruhai, who was in the audience, struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Chen Xuanzang on the stage with a confused look on his face, and congratulated him with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Li. Thank you very much."

Chen Xuanzang looked at Li Ruhai, scratched his head awkwardly, and said to Li Ruhai with a smile.
