1468 Guanyin Hall, Shi Ying's History, Battle Of Personality
Chu Kuangren and the other Buddhist world Prodigies continued to stroll around Lapis Lazuli Land.
From Arhat Hall, to Sangharama Hall, Heavenly Kings Hall, and so on…
Other than the mentioned temples, Lapis Lazuli Land also has other sightseeing spots. Most of them basked in Buddhist light and were blessed by the Daoist Rhymes by previous generations of the Buddhist world's great ones.
Soon, the group arrived at Guanyin Hall.
"It was said that Guanyin is one of the eight Bodhisattvas. She has countless identities and forms, and uses them to help those in need," Jing Hui said.
She glanced at Shi Ying profoundly when she explained.
Then, a few of them entered Guanyin Hall.
The first thing they saw was a white jade statue of Guanyin in white robes, sitting on a lotus platform with the suet white jade vast and having plenty of Daoist runes circulating around it.
The moment Shi Ying saw the Guanyin statue, she suddenly realized something and had a massive amount of Buddhist light overflowing from her body.
The other Prodigies were shocked by the sudden development.
Chu Kuangren watched nonchalantly.
Inside Shi Ying's consciousness dimension, she looked at the woman in white with a complicated gaze.
The moment she saw the Guanyin statue, she learned everything and also the origin of her name.
"What a joke. Everything about me is fake. Shi Ying doesn't even exist," she scoffed bitterly.
The woman in white was Guanyin's successor.
Shi Yin was just a manifested personality with fake memories of the academy. She was created to get close to Chu Kuangren and watch him.
Now, the main personality finally recovered.
"Amitabha. It was my mistake before. Guanyin uses more than three thousand forms to help those in need. I am not her, so I am unable to achieve what she did. I can't even control my own manifested personality," Guanyin's successor put her hands together and chimed the mantra with an apologetic look.
Guanyin Manifestation Technique was one of the most profound cultivation techniques listed in Guanyin's inheritance.
One could use the technique to become someone else.
However, she has yet to master the technique and was forced to use it in its immature state, hence manifesting Shi Ying's personality.
Should the main personality fully awaken, Shi Ying's personality would completely be erased, or in order words, killed.
"I will inherit your memories and I will become you, you will become me," Guanyin's successor said, attempting to calm Shi Ying down.
"Hmph. Of course, you want my memories. You manifested me because of my memories, didn't you?"
"You have been with Chu Kuangren for several years, and through your memories, I can find out if Chu Kuangren is really the Buddha Destroyer left behind by Papiyas," Guanyin's successor said.
Buddhist light shone on her and attempted to erase the personality named Shi Ying.
Back in the outside world, due to the influence of the Guanyin statue, the main personality was already half awoken and it was not difficult to erase Shi Ying from existence.
This would be the reason why she wanted Shi Ying to come here, to Lapis Lazuli Land.
"Interesting."
A voice suddenly sounded in the consciousness dimension.
Then, a crack appeared in the sky and a figure in white emerged from within.
A tremendous pressure that suffocated even Guanyin's successor flooded the space.
"Chu Kuangren!"
Guanyin's successor's eyes shrank in fear. She could not believe what just happened.
Chu Kuangren just invaded her own consciousness dimension!
Shi Ying was shocked but delighted at the same time.
She was more than happy to see Chu Kuangren one last time before getting erased.
Even though the memories before she met Chu Kuangren were all fake, the time she spent by his side was authentic.
It was the memories that truly gave birth to Shi Ying's personality and strengthened her existence.
"Guanyin's successor. We finally meet." Chu Kuangren smiled at her.
"Hmph. Yeah, we finally meet," Guanyin's successor nodded.
"I'm curious. Why all this effort just to get close to me?"
"Buddha Destroyer. It was said that before Papiyas disappeared, he left several Buddha Destroyers on earth, and once they were awakened, they would destroy the entire Buddhist world.
"You having the Papiyas strength is why I went through the fill to find out if you are really one of the Buddha Destroyers."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
Chu Kuangren shook his head. "Lame. You really think Papiyas can control, eh?"
"Papiyas is an enemy of the Buddha. He possessed nearly infinite power and not even Buddha himself dared to underestimate him."
Guanyin's successor made things absolutely clear.
Even Buddha himself did not have a hundred percent confidence in defending against the Papiyas strength, let alone a mere cultivator Chu Kuangren.
"Whatever. Your goal is boring, but the process is quite interesting. Shi Ying's personality is someone you can't control right? What if I can help Shi Ying to remove you, the main personality? Wouldn't it be interesting?" Chu Kuangren stroked his chin mischievously.
"This is my consciousness dimension. You can't do that."
"Oh really?"
The moment his words subsided, the pressure aura from Chu Kuangren surged and completely enveloped the entire dimension.
It was Chu Kuangren's own will!
The will originated from one's soul, and Chu Kuangren has extremely high attainments in that particular field.
His soul realm was far more powerful than any other Gilded Immortal. Besides, Guanyin's successor might not even be in the Gilded Soul realm.
Of course, invading other people's consciousness dimension was dangerous even for a Gilded Soul.
A thought from the Guanyin's successor caused the entire dimension to tremble and resist furiously.
It was her territory, not some place an outsider like Chu Kuangren could meddle with.
Even though Chu Kuangren was ridiculously powerful, Guanyin's successor has the upper hand for being on her own turf.
"Even though you are a Gilded Immortal, you are still too reckless for invading," Guanyin's successor said.
"Nope. You forgot someone," Chu Kuangren said.
As soon as his words subsided, Shi Ying released a powerful energy presence and attempted to disrupt the dimension as well.
"You said it before. You and I are one, so this place is yours, and also mine!" Shi Ying said as her eyes glimmered in resolution.
"Shi Ying, I have helped you suppress her power. It's up to you now."
"Thank you, chief."
Shi Ying took a deep breath and revealed an Immortal Sword in her hand. Then, a slash was hurled at Guanyin's successor.
She might be the sub-personality manifested by Guanyin's successor, but she did not want to be erased like that.
She wanted to fight back.
Guanyin's successor took a deep breath and countered.
The battle between the sub and the main personalities started.
