Chapter 295: All Over
"Giant Scorpion, in which cell are those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at Lingshan imprisoned? I want to go meet them! Hahahaha!"
Ainafa was dressed in a black robe, had a bald fringe on his head, laughed loudly, and the words "a villain succeeds" were written all over every pore of his face.
As the eldest disciple under Tathagata, he is also the only disciple whose cultivation level is only at the celestial realm and who has only attained the Arhat level.
Ainafa was full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards Tathagata, and was also full of resentment and jealousy towards the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan who were above him.
Therefore, Ainafa easily betrayed Tathagata under the coercion and inducement of Wu Tian.
When following the Tathagata's order to remove the black lotus of the soul that was parasitic in Kong Xuan's body, he secretly left behind a lotus seed bred from the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus and offered it in the Asura world.
The twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction merged with Wu Tian’s original spirit, and each black lotus clone was equivalent to a clone of Wu Tian.
Wu Tian relied on this black lotus clone. When the original black lotus was suppressed into the abyss of darkness by Tathagata, he secretly made arrangements in the three realms and recruited troops.
It can be said that Wu Tian’s current success is inseparable from Ainafa’s secret help.
Now , Wutan has fought his way back from the abyss of darkness and occupied the Lingshan Mountain in Heaven in one fell swoop, making all the gods and Buddhas prisoners.
Ainafa didn't know that all this was caused by the gambling match between Wu Tian and Tathagata. He only felt that his choice back then was extremely correct, and he was determined to show off in front of those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who once looked down on him.
Li Anran did not stop him and let Ainafa in neatly. He then looked at the cloning magic weapon that Ainafa brought, which consisted of two huge iron boxes and looked like modern heavy machinery.
Ainafa has many faults. He is narcissistic, arrogant, sensitive and extreme, but he has completely inherited the mantle of Duobao Tathagata in the art of refining weapons. He is even better than his teacher.
Most of the magic weapons in the Three Realms have various restrictions on use.
The most basic ones include the need to sacrifice first, knowing the spells, etc. Without any of these, the power of the magic weapon cannot be exerted.
More complicated ones include falling treasures, money and gold which deplete one's luck, and the Precious Lotus Lantern which requires benevolent magic power.
However, the cloning magic weapon refined by Ainafa has no restrictions and can be used by any monster!
And it is used in batch assembly line style!
In the original time and space, Ainafa used it to clone the monsters under Wujitian in batches into gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms. Not only were their appearances exactly the same, but even their auras were not the slightest bit different, which fooled the monkey's fiery eyes.
"Prison God, this is a magic weapon made by Ayi Nafa according to the decree of Buddha Wu Tian."
The giant scorpion didn't know that Li Anran already knew everything. He pointed at the cloning magic weapon in front of him and introduced it to Li Anran: "You only need to put the immortal to be cloned into the iron box on the left, and then let our people enter the box on the right. Then press this red button, and our people can be cloned into the appearance of immortals."
The giant scorpion said this and nodded to his men beside him.
The subordinate immediately ordered someone to bring over a celestial general whose magical powers had been sealed, and pushed him into the iron box on the left, and then asked his own men to walk into the iron box on the right.
Then, he pressed the red power button.
The cloned magic weapon spun rapidly, and a seven-colored light flowed.
A moment later, accompanied by a "chi" sound, a white mist rose up, the cloning magic weapon stopped, and the two iron boxes immediately unfolded.
Appearing before everyone were two identical celestial generals!
The giant scorpion nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Why don't the prison god come and tell which one is real and which one is fake!"
Li Anran's eyes sparkled. He observed carefully for a while and looked at the one on the right: "This one is fake."
The giant scorpion did not give an answer immediately. She could not tell which one was real and which one was fake, so she asked, "Which one of you is fake?"
The one on the right stepped forward and said, “The small one is fake.”
His flattering smile suddenly changed his temperament and made it easy to tell whether he was real or fake.
But, before that, the giant scorpion could not see any difference between the two generals.
The giant scorpion asked curiously, "Prison God, how did you recognize him?"
"I have a magic that can detect people's emotional fluctuations." Li Anran pointed at the real general and said, "His heart is full of fear, anxiety and anger, but he doesn't."
"I see." The giant scorpion suddenly realized and asked, "Are there any other flaws?"
Cloning her monsters into the appearance of the gods from the Three Realms was the first task Wutan assigned to her. Naturally, Giant Scorpion had to be more careful to avoid any omissions.
"Demeanor, expression, conversation, manners..."
Li Anran said: "They have no difference in appearance and aura, but this is only similar in form, not spirit. If you want to make the fake look real, you have to let them follow the immortals you transform into, watch, listen, learn and imitate more."
Seeing the giant scorpion frowning, Li Anran continued: "If you don't know what to do, I know someone who can help you."
The giant scorpion asked hurriedly: " Who is it?"
Li Anran said, "Cell No. 73, Fighting Buddha Sun Xingzhe."
The giant scorpion asked, "The six-eared macaque who pretended to be the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus?"
Li Anran nodded and said, "I'm afraid no one in the Three Realms knows how to imitate a person better than him!"
The giant scorpion was somewhat moved, yet somewhat embarrassed and hesitant: "Over there, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy..."
Li Anran said: "Just ask for permission from Buddha Wu Tian, the Holy Envoy of Black Lotus will not have any objection to you."
Seeing that the giant scorpion was still worried, Li Anran added: "How about this, if the Black Lotus Saint Envoy has any dissatisfaction with this matter, you can ask him to come to me and I will help you solve it?"
The giant scorpion was overjoyed: "Thank you, God of Prison! If you need anything in the future, just tell me. I will do whatever I can to help you!"
Li Anran said, "We are all working for the Buddha Wu Tian, so there is no need to do this. The Fighting and Victory Buddha is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and he is extremely utilitarian. If you want to recruit him, you should threaten him with life and death and lure him with benefits, only then can you see immediate results."
The giant scorpion nodded repeatedly to show that she understood. She was eager to make a contribution and did not want to waste time, so she immediately went to Lingshan to ask Wutan for instructions.
Li Anran naturally had no objection.
He brought out the Six-Eared Macaque in order to get the Giant Scorpion to leave, and also to allow the Giant Scorpion to focus its main energy on training its subordinates in the future, rather than cloning them.
He wanted to make a fake come true and change the world, and keep all the gods and Buddhas in the prison. The best way was to defeat them one by one.
Ainafa's cloning magic weapon is undoubtedly the best time!
Li Anran watched the giant scorpion leave and focused all his attention on the cloning magic weapon. While using his spiritual sense to repeatedly observe and study its operating principles, he secretly figured out how to arrange it in his mind so as to capture those gods and Buddhas who knew the inside story and whose magic powers were not sealed before they could react.
As a result, before Li Anran could think of a solution, Ainafa walked out angrily.
"Giant scorpion! Giant scorpion!"
Ayi Nafa looked around and found that the giant scorpion was not there, so he said to Li Anran: "Prison God, those bald donkeys in Lingshan have already become prisoners, and they still dare to speak shamelessly and insult the Buddha Wu Tian! You go and teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful you are!"
Li Anran didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "When Buddha Wu Tian asked me to put them in the prison, he specifically told me to treat them with courtesy and not to humiliate them. If you have any ideas, go to Buddha Wu Tian and ask for his decree first."
Although he didn't go in just now, everything that happened in the prison did not escape his eyes.
Ainafa went to show off his power in an arrogant manner, but not only did he fail to achieve his wish, but he was scolded by a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Some of these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not know the truth, such as Xuanzang, whose magical powers are truly sealed.
Some of them knew the truth, such as Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Maitreya. The black lotus on their heads was just for show, and their cultivation, magic power and even magic weapons were still on them.
However, whether they know the truth or not, their magic powers are apparently sealed. They will not easily use their magic powers to disrupt Tathagata's plan unless it is a life-and-death situation.
In this situation, Ainafa, with his celestial cultivation, should have had the upper hand.
However, facing the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were glaring at him, Ainava actually got scared. He pretended to be furious, but in fact he walked out of the prison in disgrace and came to complain to the giant scorpion.
Li Anran was extremely speechless.
Apart from his profound attainments in the art of mechanical engineering and refining, Ainafa's character and mentality are not up to par.
No wonder he, as Tathagata's eldest disciple, was surpassed by his fellow disciples and became the one who performed the worst!
This kind of mentality is really not suitable for cultivation!
"You!" Ainafa was angered by Li Anran's perfunctory attitude, staring with his eyes wide open and his face flushed.
But when Li Anran gave him a cold look, Ainafa instantly became cowardly again, muttering indignantly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Go find Buddha Wutian if you want! You just wait!" He rode away on a cloud.
Li Anran ignored it.
Ainafa is a smart man, but smart people are often not worth the effort to make friends with because they will automatically choose the side that is beneficial to them!
If his and Yang Jian's plan could succeed, Ainafa would definitely be their most loyal lackey.
If we fail, it will be useless no matter how hard we try for Ainafa!
It was Tathagata who personally led Ainafa on the path of cultivation, allowing Ainafa to achieve the status of Arhat from an ordinary mortal.
However, Ainafa still felt that Tathagata was biased and betrayed him without hesitation.
He treated Tathagata like this, let alone others.
The development of things was pretty much as Li Anran expected.
Wu Tian agreed to the giant scorpion's request and released the six-eared macaque from the heavenly prison, and was responsible for teaching a group of monsters to imitate the actions of the gods.
Liu'er Mihou had been locked up in the Heavenly Prison for so long that the little backbone he had to begin with was completely gone. Without a second thought, he agreed to Wujitian's request and began to train and educate the monsters that had been cloned into gods.
The effect is excellent.
These monsters had already been trained by the monkeys and were very clear about many matters in the Three Realms. They quickly replaced the original immortals and did their job very well. The immortal monks in the mortal world were unable to find anything unusual at all.
The giant scorpion was therefore praised by Wujitian and was given a sixth-grade black lotus of destruction.
The left protector in black robe could no longer sit still.
After clearing out those immortal monks in Lingshan Mountain of Heaven who were unwilling to surrender, Wutan gave Heipao the task of finding the reincarnated child and the relics.
The first to be affected was the relic of Randeng!
After Wu Tian left Yuan Jue Cave, he told Hei Pao that the novice monk under Randeng had taken the relic away and headed to Jambudvīpa to look for Dao Ji.
The man in black robe immediately led his troops to capture him.
The man in black has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his strength is far superior to that of the little monk. However, whenever the little monk is in desperate situation, the relic in his hand will shine brightly and force the man in black to retreat.
The chase and escape lasted from Xiniuhezhou to Nanzhanbuzhou.
The man in black robe finally killed the young monk, but found that the relic was missing.
Moreover, a remnant of the young monk's soul went to Lingyin Temple in a dream and told Dao Ji about the disaster that had befallen the three realms.
Fortunately, the monkey discovered it early, and before the little monk could finish his words, he captured his soul and sent him into reincarnation. He also cooperated with the fake Guanyin cloned and trained by the giant scorpion, and was able to barely dispel Dao Ji's vigilance and suspicion.
Although Wutan did not punish Heipao, Heipao still felt ashamed. He, the left protector, was outshined by Juxie, the right protector. He felt upset and annoyed and even drank several rounds of wine.
One of his monsters gave him an idea.
"Great Dharma Protector, that little monk is desperate to tell Dao Ji the truth about the relic and the three realms. Dao Ji must be the key! Great Dharma Protector, why don't you cut off the source of the trouble and kill Dao Ji and put an end to it all!"
