Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“And who might this be?”
“So it’s the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.”
Lin Qi, dressed in plain cloth, shouldered his hoe, and looked at the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata kneeling before him. He said lightly.
“What play is the Buddha Ancestor putting on now?”
“An assassin attacked and startled His Majesty. Your subject Lin Tathagata deserves death.”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata spoke again. This time, he no longer called himself this old monk, but Lin Tathagata.
That shift in self-address made Lin Qi, who had intended to walk right past the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata, unconsciously stop in his tracks.
He studied the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata thoughtfully — no, the bald cultivator who now called himself Lin Tathagata.
His gaze carried no pressure, no spiritual power, yet it fell upon Lin Tathagata like Mount Tai itself, so heavy that Lin Tathagata involuntarily bent another ten degrees.
“Get up.”
“Since you have realized your identity.”
“Then do your work well from now on, and do not entangle yourself with unsavory characters again.”
Lin Qi spoke.
Lin Tathagata immediately felt relief flood through him. He knew he had gambled correctly.
Lin Qi truly was not a man who loved to kill.
So long as he drew a clear line between himself and the Buddhist order from now on, and served Lin Qi well.
Then he could still be saved.
As Lin Tathagata thought this, he rose respectfully, then presented the assassin he had captured.
The assassin struggled in Lin Tathagata’s palm, defiant and unruly, his gaze as gloomy as the sea.
He seemed to recognize Lin Tathagata, and so he roared.
“Old Tathagata, you spineless bastard.”
“You don’t think that just because you play dog for him.”
“He’ll actually let you go?”
“Fool!”
“How could people like us possibly allow another Other-Self to exist in this world?”
“Release me, and we’ll join forces.”
“Suppress him first, then let each rely on his own ability, see who can take his place, and whoever laughs last wins!”
The assassin roared. Sure enough, he too was a Memory Body of Lin Qi.
Faced with this provocation, Lin Tathagata’s expression changed drastically. Without waiting for Lin Qi to speak, he said sternly.
“A mere Memory Body, and you dare call yourself His Majesty’s Other-Self?!”
“Utterly arrogant!”
“You and I are nothing but tragedies who lucked into a few scraps of His Majesty’s memories, then were played in the palm of those Supremes!”
“A mere trick like Smoke and Mirrors.”
“You lot have already achieved Dao-Fusion, yet you still cannot see it clearly.”
“You would even serve the thief as your father, scheming to harm His Majesty.”
“You deserve death a thousand times over!”
Before the words had fully left his mouth.
Lin Tathagata was about to strike forcibly, to completely suppress and erase this fool who had lucked into Dao-Fusion somewhere in the Great Cosmos.
Yes.
The assassin who had come this time to kill Lin Qi, scheming to seize his body and take his place, was in fact a Dao-Fusion Realm existence.
But unfortunately for him, far from the Cosmos where he himself had achieved Dao-Fusion, without the blessing of that Cosmos’s Heavenly Dao.
He was only equivalent to a Half-Step Dao-Fusion Realm expert who had surpassed the perfection realm.
If he were facing another Half-Step Dao-Fusion Realm expert, perhaps he could still hold the upper hand. The advantage was his.
But against someone like Lin Tathagata, who had also once stepped into the Dao-Fusion Realm, and had even received the blessing of the Supreme Tathagata’s avatar, a Half-Step Dao-Fusion Realm.
He was far from being a match.
“Don’t rush to kill him.”
“We will deal with him once Yuyao returns.”
Lin Qi stopped Lin Tathagata.
As for this assassin before him who had schemed to seize his body, and who still believed he was not a Memory Body but an Other-Self more closely connected to him — Lin Qi did not particularly care about his past.
After all, with the Supremes’ methods.
After using his memories to create a group of Memory Bodies who all believed they too were the transmigrator Lin Qi.
They could absolutely use an entire real Great Cosmos to stage all kinds of spectacular fate scripts for them.
