1469 Three Percent Situation, Changes On The Desire World Sky
The fight between Shi Ying and Guanyin’s successor happened inside the consciousness dimension.
Both were evenly matched.
Given Guanyin’s successor’s strength, she should be able to destroy Shi Ying easily.
However, due to Chu Kuangren’s interference, Guanyin’s successor’s strength was severely affected. She was left with less than 10% of her original strength.
Therefore, the fight went on for a while as neither of them was able to get the upper hand.
Chu Kuangren could not interfere further as he has to continue his suppression on Guanyin’s successor’s consciousness dimension.
As a matter of fact, he did not need to interfere anymore either. All he needed to do was watch from the side as it was Guanyin’s successor’s private matters.
He came meddling around solely because he was interested.
“Shi Ying, you are my sub-personality. If I fall, you will die as well.”
“If you don’t die, I’ll die. It’s the same either way, so might as well fight for it,” Shi Ying said as she continued her attacks mercilessly.
She swung the sword in a flurry, performing all kinds of mystical Immortal Techniques and divine abilities.
“Amitabha.”
Guanyin’s successor channeled Buddhist light with her hand to defend against Shi Ying’s attack.
While the two of them fight, Chu Kuangren noticed that their consciousness were slowly merging together as they clash.
This battle was not just a clash between Immortal Techniques or divine abilities, it was also a competition between two different consciousnesses.
“Shi Ying, don’t let me down,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
He rooted for Shi Ying to win instead of Guanyin’s successor.
After all, Shi Ying had been by his side for several years now and was a huge fan of his.
“Lil Ai, analyze the outcome of the battle.”
“Analyzing… Guanyin’s successor’s personality has completely awakened. 60% chance of Shi Ying’s personality disappearing. Shi Ying is trying to consume Guanyin’s successor and replace her with a thirty-seven percent chance…”
“Where’s the other three percent?”
“The three percent remained unknown. For example, if the two of them disappeared together, or the manifestation of another personality, and so on.”
“Interesting.” Chu Kuangren got more and more interested in the fight.
Back in the outside world, the other Prodigies were shocked by the amount of Buddhist light released from Shi Ying.
“This energy… Guanyin’s successor?!”
“Wait. It has been years since we heard anything from her. Why would she bear the light of Guanyin’s successor?!”
“No wonder she’s granted entry to the Buddha Character Boundary.”
No-Knife Monk and the others were surprised, except for Jing Hui.
She knew at first glance that Shi Ying was Guanyin’s successor, but she chose not to expose her.
She heard of the Guanyin Manifestation Technique before. If Guanyin’s successor decided to go through all the effort just to become someone else, she must have something important to achieve.
“What is he doing?”
Jing Hui was surprised at Chu Kuangren’s reaction.
She knew Shi Ying’s identity but Chu Kuangren did not seem too surprised when the light appeared. He stood there nonchalantly and somehow froze from a while ago.
Could it be that he knew about Shi YIng’s true identity as well?
It was then the Buddhist light from Shi Ying started to flicker.
“What’s going on? The awakening has been interfered with?” Jing Hui was shocked.
She looked at Chu Kuangren and her instinct informed her that he had something to do with this.
Then, the Buddhist light on Shi Ying slowly faded. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was the white jade Guanyin statue before her, but she sighed.
“Welcome back, Guanyin’s successor.”
Jing Hui looked at Shi Ying. When she sensed the Buddhist light in her, she sighed a breath of relief. It seemed like it worked.
Shi Ying nodded.
She then looked at Chu Kuangren with a complicated gaze.
Chu Kuangren looked at her and asked, “What should I call you now? Shi Ying? Or Guanyin’s successor?”
Back in the consciousness dimension, neither one of them was able to find the fight, so as the battle went on, their consciousness merged, which was supposed to be a 3% occurrence.
Now, Shi Ying was both herself and Guanyin’s successor.
Or maybe she was neither one of them and the one who came back from the consciousness dimension was a brand new personality.
No one could be sure.
“You can call me Shi Ying, it’s my real name behind the title of Guanyin’s successor.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Chu Kuangren looked at Shi Ying with slight pity. “I guess I won’t be seeing my cute junior anymore.”
“I am her, and she is me.”
“But you are also Guanyin’s successor, it’s not specific enough.”
Chu Kuangren was no longer bothered.
A loud explosion happened outside Guanyin Hall all of a sudden.
An obscene void came from the void and impacted everyone’s mental state.
The whole Lapis Lazuli Land was in a tremble.
“What’s going on?!”
“This energy seems like it’s from the Desire World Sky!”
Shocked, Jing Hui and the others rushed outside.
A pitch-black crack suddenly appeared in the sky, or the Desire World Sky!
A terrifying evil qi overflowed from the crack, shaking the Buddhist Trait of the entire land as it tried to fight the intrusion.
The clash between evil qi and Buddhist Trait sent quakes throughout the land.
“What happened? Why is there a crack in the sky?!”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s the Desire World Sky! The Sky Demon is awakening! Who woke it?!”
Something must have happened to the Desire World Sky Demon and caused the crack in the sky.
A possible explanation would be the Sky Demon’s awakening.
The Sky Demon has been in slumber for many years and with the Buddha Character Boundary around, it was not possible for it to wake up by itself.
All it could do was release some of its consciousness to meddle with people.
However, the crack was not something caused by the mere consciousness of the Sky Demon.
Chu Kuangren was not at all surprised. “Why don’t you do a headcount and see who is missing from our party?”
“Hui Zhang?”
“No way! Chu Kuangren! Don’t you accuse Hui Zhang!”
The group was furious at his answer.
Only Jing Hui and Shi Ying pondered his question seriously. They spent more time with Chu Kuangren than others, and they knew Chu Kuangren would never say something groundless.
“Dragon Demon Vanquisher might be a powerful divine ability, but given Hui Zhang’s talents, he should have mastered it a long time ago. Why would he choose to stay in Arhat Hall?”
“He’s trying to leave the group?!”
Both Jing Hui and Shi Ying were hit with a sudden epiphany.
Then, pink sparkles started to gush out from the crack in the sky.
The sparkles then turned into a bunch of beautiful women with the most seductive smile.
They tried to charm Chu Kuangren and a bunch of Buddhist world Prodigies using alluring dances and seductive movements.
“Hey, monk. It’s boring to live a mundane life. Why don’t you come with me and have fun.”
“Greed, anger, lust, they are all part of human nature, why resist it? Why don’t you follow your instinct and live a free life?”
