The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1192 742: Gathering of Heroes, Familiar Faces Conven

"Hahaha, Mr. Liu really is a wonderful person. How about this, I'm old friends with your brother-in-law, let's go by our relationship. You call elder brother, and I call you younger brother, how's that?"

Yong Ren proposed.

"That sounds great. Brother Yong!"

"Brother Liu!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two foxes, big and small, laughed at each other through their phones.

"I wonder what's got you so eager to contact , younger brother?"

Yong Ren asked proactively.

"Well, there's a question I'd like to ask you, elder brother."

"Go ahead, elder brother will answer everything."

Yong Ren nodded and said.

"I rember elder brother was a disciple in the Buddhist Sect, right?"

"Eh, that was when I was young and foolish, just believing for fun. Now I've converted to City Hall and have drawn a clear line with everything past."

Yong Ren imdiately responded.

"Is that so~ Then, do you still wish to achieve enlightennt, elder brother?"

Liu Zheng stretched his voice and asked.

Achieve enlightennt.

For a mont, Yong Ren felt a sense of daze.

How many years has it been, how many years since anyone said that word to him.

Even though he's heard this word repeatedly since birth, believed resolutely, only to end up throwing it into the fire alongside the robe.

"What does younger brother an? Elder brother doesn't quite understand."

Yong Ren put away his mories and asked seriously.

If soone thinks they can manipulate him due to his background, then this deliveryman would be gravely mistaken.

Being able to transfer from the Religious Affairs Departnt to the City Supervision Departnt and retain the position of section head reflects his deep-rooted connections.

"Even though elder brother changed his affiliations, your cultivation shouldn't have changed, right? Moreover, City Hall probably wouldn't allow the change either."

Liu Zheng said.

City Hall dislikes the Buddhist Sect group, not their cultivation thods.

Compared to those who create chaos at the drop of a hat, like heretic followers, black mages, summoners, the bald heads are quite safe and environntally friendly in terms of power systems.

Additionally, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in every battle; an employee cultivating Buddhist practices is surely more suited to deal with the Buddhist Sect than average employees.

"What exactly does younger brother want to say?"

Yong Ren narrowed his eyes, a glow of Buddha erging behind him.

"Has elder brother ever heard of 'Eight Heat Hell Broth'?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, I haven't."

Yong Ren shook his head.

"It's a divine-grade wine from Du Kang Wine Workshop. Those who drink it fall into Eight Heat Hell, suffering the tornts of ten thousand souls for five hundred days. If they can awaken, they sever all troubles, gain ultimate wisdom, and receive offerings from ten thousand souls, achieving Arhat Fruit."

He emphasized the last three words.

"Arhat Fruit!"

Yong Ren's pupils trembled slightly.

Though many novels may depict Arhats as common as roadside goods, in reality, Arhat is the highest cultivation realm in Theravada Buddhism because Theravada Buddhism lacks Bodhisattvas, with only one Buddha, Shakyamuni.

Comparing to Taoism, Arhat is akin to the Heavenly Immortal that Panda's master dreams of ascending.

"And achieving the Arhat Fruit position through 'Eight Heat Hell Broth' is free from the Buddhist Sect's precepts, being at ease and at liberty."

Liu Zheng added.

"What?!"

Behind Yong Ren, the glow of Buddha intensified, shaking everything in the room to dust.

Since leaving the Buddhist Sect, he realized that his path of cultivation had reached its end.

Without holding precepts and without offering to the Triple Gem, Yong Ren cannot use Buddhist teachings to achieve Arhat Fruit.

Given his Wisdom Root, he isn't able to follow the path of "Pratyekabuddha" or "Dependent Origination."

So-called "Pratyekabuddha" and "Dependent Origination" refer to those born in an era without a Buddha or with Buddha, who independently observe and contemplate the twelve links of dependent origination, attaining enlightennt, thereby escaping the cycle of birth and death.

But if what Liu Zheng said is true, and 'Eight Heat Hell Broth' can achieve Arhat without the constraints of the Buddhist Sect, then Yong Ren's path of cultivation would be opened anew.

The hardest part is the beginning; as long as he achieves Arhat, the subsequent Bodhisattva Fruit position and Buddha Fruit are no longer impossible.

"Om mani pad hum! Om mani pad hum..."

Yong Ren recited the six-syllable mantra multiple tis to calm down.

"Younger brother, you aren't making fun of elder brother, are you?"

He forced a smile.

"Elder brother, this bottle of wine alone costs a billion to procure, along with a nightmare of Evil God level to purchase. Do you think I'd spend a billion for joking around?"

Liu Zheng retorted.

"What do I need to exchange for it?"

Finally convinced this wasn't a joke, Yong Ren shifted to business negotiation mode.

"Two things. First, I have a friend targeted by the Buddhist Sect; they want to make her a Ming Fei. Help resolve this matter."

Liu Zheng said.

"This... How could a Buddhist Sect traitor like make them give up?"

Yong Ren smiled bitterly.

"During your departure, you surely didn't bring all your fellow disciples and old acquaintances to garner credit, right? If not, they should cherish this relationship they guessed correctly, as you still serve as their shield after all."

He said pointedly.

Conflicts between groups don't hinder individuals within from boosting personal connections; there are nurous real-life examples of this.

"...I'll try my best. What's the second matter?"

Yong Ren asked.

"I want an artificial body worthy of 'Eight Heat Hell Broth'."

Liu Zheng said.

"An artificial body?"

Yong Ren fell into deep thought.

Regarding artificial bodies, he really possesses many channels, so he wasn't sure which one to bring out for now.

"By the way, I had a conflict with a Great Monk before, but he now wishes to reconcile with , even offering an internal privilege for it. Do you know him?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Da De, yes I know him, Zhasang Temple's Tsochin, which is the Precepts Elder. We've previously exchanged Buddhist teachings, but although Zhasang Temple has rged Mahayana Buddhism, at its root, it's still the doctrines of The Church of the Loudspeaker, so we didn't reach any results from exchanging."

Yong Ren's tone seed slightly disdainful.

"Great, since you know him, see if there's any room for maneuvering in this matter?"

"Hmm... I need to see the terms first."

After pondering briefly, Yong Ren said.

"Alright. Then co with my brother-in-law, he knows where I am."

Once Liu Zheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After thinking for a mont, he had Nightingale call Silver Wolf, Ace, and 4399.

"Are you really planning to let so many people know about your situation?"

Doctor Nile couldn't help but ask.

"Since so already know, it's better to have as many know as possible. Relax, Doctor, I'm confident."

Liu Zheng reassured.

"If that's the case, then I'll follow your lead."

Although Doctor Nile disliked such adventurous behavior, since Liu Zheng has already said so, he couldn't oppose it.

Moreover, having witnessed him complete countless seemingly impossible tasks, Doctor Nile harbors so unconditional trust in Liu Zheng.

Of the five, 4399 was the first to arrive.

He furrowed his brows and then contemplated upon seeing Liu Zheng's condition.

"Have you found a way to suppress the Black Mountain Goat Cub bloodline?"

He asked.

"Uh, no, my body just can't regenerate below the head."

Liu Zheng replied.

He'd just had the doctor test again, the "Blood and Flesh Rebirth" ability was still there and hadn't weakened, but only limited to his head.

"What do you want to do for you?"

4399 asked.

"Just want you, Brother 4399, to lend so support."

Liu Zheng grinned.

"Alright."

4399 didn't ask further and went to the side to rest with his eyes closed.

The second to arrive was Ace, who started shouting as soon as he entered the clinic.

"Whoa, Brother Zheng, your appearance is really bizarre, like the CG image after failing a crazy galga route!"

"You don't need to be so precise in your description, thanks."

Liu Zheng squinted his eyes and said.

"Hehe. So why did you call here? I don't know healing spells, nobody in my family specializes in them either."

Ace asked.

"We'll talk later, for now stand aside, play so gas, and support us."

He replied.

"Alright then. Hey Niu, bring a chair, one with a cushion!"

Without formality, Ace instructed casually.

This, however, reminded Doctor Nile, who hurriedly, along with Niu Daji, brought out a bunch of chairs, filling the living room to the brim.

Soon, Silver Wolf and Yong Ren also arrived.
