Lord of the People: I recruited the goddess of heaven

"Golden-headed Arhat?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

It was the golden-headed arhat from the first heaven who had met Jiang Chen once when Jiang Chen destroyed Qingyu.

In the Lightless Realm, Jiang Chen once fought a great battle with the Ancient Buddha Clan.

I thought the Ancient Buddha Clan would be vindictive, but who would have thought that on the issue of Qingyu, the Ancient Buddha Clan actually sold Jiang Chen out.

Of course, the one who fought with Jiang Chen back then was from the Wuliang Buddha Realm, and the boss was Amitabha; and the Golden-headed Arhat came from the Posa Buddha Realm, and the boss was Sakyamuni.

Jiang Chen was wary of the Ancient Buddhas' unconventional behavior, but he also had to appreciate it. After all, it was better to make friends than enemies, unless there was a big enough benefit. This was the only way to gain a foothold in the battlefield of all races.

"I have just ascended to heaven, and the Golden-headed Arhat has come to visit. It seems he must have some advice for me!" Jiang Chen returned the salute and said politely.

Li Shimin looked at the Golden-Headed Arhat with a wary look.

"Don't take advice seriously!"

The Golden Head Arhat said with a smile:

"However, out of the mercy of Buddha, a mission has been assigned to the fifth heaven. Only a chosen one with great perseverance and wisdom can accomplish this task, so I invite His Majesty Emperor Jiang to join me. Of course, the mission rewards are also very rich. As long as you complete the mission, based on your contribution to the mission, His Majesty Emperor Jiang will probably not be far from advancing to the Eternal Realm."

Advance to eternity? ! !

Jiang Chen's heart was shocked, and at the same time, alarm bells rang in his mind.

Would the Ancient Buddhas be so kind as to invite me to complete a mission that would allow me to advance to eternity?

Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he chatted privately:

"Brother Jiang Chen, you must not agree to this. I will explain the specific reasons to you later."

The Golden Head Arhat glanced at Li Shimin, and seemed to have seen through Li Shimin's little trick, but he didn't care at all and continued to smile and said:

"I will send the task to His Majesty Jiang Chen now. Your Majesty will know whether it is true or false at a glance."

[Hint: The Golden-headed Arhat has given you the task of "Going to the West to Obtain the Scriptures".]

Learn from the west?

Are you trying to make fun of me like a monkey?

Jiang Chen complained while looking at the task description.

[Task background: The daughter of Zulong Jieluo has profound knowledge of Buddhism and is devoted to Buddhism. She wants to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in order to spread Buddhism. Now she needs four talented lords with deep affinity with Buddhism to escort her along the way. To show her piety, all participants in the mission must not spend more than one year ascending to the fifth heaven.]

[Mission objective: Starting from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, without using any means of transmission, successfully escort the Dragon Girl to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West. You need to obtain the jade butterflies of the 81 territorial masters along the way.]

[Task requirements: To protect the rights and interests of both parties in the mission and to prevent participants from deliberately sabotaging the mission and harming the Dragon Girl, participants in the mission must wear a golden hoop. After the mission is completed, the golden hoop will be automatically removed. (Please refer to the specific terms for the rights and interests of both parties)]

[Task Reward: 30 million Buddhist merits, to improve the qualifications of the sutra-seeking team. The specific distribution depends on the contribution.]

【Duration of the mission: 20 years.】

[Failure penalty: None. 】

This……

Jiang Chen looked at the task description, and his expression became increasingly strange.

Don't you even change the script?

I don't even know who the screenwriter is? It's too perfunctory!!

Without Li Shimin's reminder, Jiang Chen instantly realized the purpose of the Ancient Buddha Clan's offering such a big bait. After all, Jiang Chen had also read Journey to the West in his previous life.

The most likely possibility is that he wants to transform him into a "Buddha" just like he tamed the monkey in the first place, and at the same time conquer the realm of gods and strengthen the power of the Posah Buddha realm. Oh, maybe the future "Dragon Girl Buddha" is also one of the targets.

But... eternity!

The temptation is too great!

Jiang Chen's qualifications could rank him in the top three among all the students in Donghai No. 3 Middle School, making him a gifted child of destiny second only to An Chuxia.

But among all the races, it is nothing.

Even if he possessed a large amount of spiritual objects such as Dragon Tooth Rice, before the decisive battle with the Ancestral Saint King, he had no confidence in being promoted to eternity, let alone giving birth to a small world inside his body.

And this may be his biggest opportunity.

Thirty million Buddhist merits are equivalent to thirty million crystals of divine power. If some are saved, they can be used to build ten most basic kingdoms of God.

It is really generous to use such a large budget to give initiations to the team of pilgrims!

Although the task editor is only of mythical quality, it is a rule-based item.

As long as one party issues a task and the other party accepts it, even powerful beings at the level of the Ancestral Holy King, God, and the World-Honored King Buddha cannot unilaterally break the contract.

Including mission rewards, such as the 30 million merits used by the ancient Buddha clan for initiation, will be bound by the Heavenly Dao before the mission is completed, automatically infused after the mission is completed, and automatically released after the mission fails, and can be used for other purposes.

Therefore, Jiang Chen does not have to worry at all that the Ancient Buddha Clan will go back on their word and gain wealth.

Even if he didn't change his clan to the Ancient Buddha clan by then, and the Buddhist virtues couldn't exert 100% of their effect, it could still make his qualifications soar to an incredible level.

This is a conspiracy!

It is also a big gamble in the Posah Buddha Realm!

It seems that the ancient Buddha clan is very confident in their own means of salvation!

Seeing Jiang Chen lost in thought, Jin Shouluo smiled even more:

"Your Majesty, I am sincere and you can consider it carefully. If you agree, just give me an answer within 10 days."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I will consider it carefully!"

The Golden-shou Arhat seemed to be very confident about the mission conditions, so he stopped trying to persuade them and left.

The sudden appearance of the Golden Head Arhat cast a shadow over the originally celebratory welcoming ceremony. Li Shimin, who had already guessed something, asked in a deep voice:

"Brother, tell me the truth. Did the Ancient Buddha Clan give you a mission like escorting a high monk to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"

There is nothing to hide: "Indeed, I will escort my master to the West to obtain the scriptures, and the reward will allow me to increase my personal strength dramatically."

At this point, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "But unlike that monkey, my master seems to be a woman!"

"Female master? These bald asses are so despicable, pandering to her...ah, no, brother, I'm not saying you're lascivious."

Li Shimin explained insincerely, and then said anxiously:

"Brother, you should know that the greatest goal of the Ancient Buddha Clan is not to obtain scriptures, nor to spread Buddhism, but you."

Jiang Chen smiled, then asked curiously, "Back in Journey to the West... when Master Xuanzang went to seek Buddhist scriptures, my second brother seemed to have sent him off. I've even seen the precious videos left behind. Why did he want to stop me?"

Li Shimin said unhappily, "Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a great man of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Can I stop him? As for Sun Wukong, he is the strongest man of the Monkey Clan, and I can't control him either! In this case, I might as well do a favor and sell one to the Ancient Buddha Clan!"

Jiang Chen thought so too.

Being humble and modest is also in line with Li Shimin's style of doing things.

Jiang Chen said solemnly: "Please rest assured, second brother. I am aware of the Ancient Buddha Clan's evil ambitions and will not let them succeed."

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually trusts Jiang Chen very much.

After all, if he could resist the temptation of God's promise to directly promote him to a 12-winged angel, then resisting the temptation of the ancient Buddhas should not be a problem.

Otherwise, if Jiang Chen really participated in some Journey to the West mission and was converted to Buddha by the ancient Buddha clan, then not only would the Blue Star civilization lose the opportunity to soar to the sky, but it would also be a loss for the entire human race.

For those who attain Buddhahood, the four elements are empty.

Although he has advanced to eternity, he is no longer a human.

Just like the Monkey King back then, who immediately abandoned his monkeys and grandchildren after becoming a Buddha. Even when Huaguo Mountain later encountered a powerful enemy and went to Lingshan for help, the Fighting Buddha simply replied, "The birth and death of all things are free destiny and cannot be forced."

If it weren't for the demon tribe's Great Sage Pingtian who came to their rescue out of old friendship, the monkey tribe would have been wiped out...

soon.

Li Shimin then hosted a banquet for Jiang Chen and others in the magnificent Taiji Palace.

Of course, although it was impossible for Li Shimin to stab him in the back, his level was too low after all. Jiang Chen still used the technique of One Qi Transformed into Three Purities to create a clone in advance.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and dismissed all the servants, leaving only the backbones of Shenyu and Shengtang.

"His Majesty Emperor Jiang has ascended to the Great Tang Dynasty, and the whole world is celebrating. I would like to take this opportunity to make a proposal..."

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Li Shimin said cautiously:

"The Blue Star civilization has been falling apart for a long time. Now His Majesty Emperor Jiang has appeared and has unified the Sixth and Seventh Heavens, so this emperor plans to merge Shengtang into the Divine Realm. When His Majesty Emperor Jiang reaches the maximum level, we will help His Majesty Emperor Jiang unify the Fifth Heaven Blue Star Region. What do you think?"
