I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 118: Dragon Assembly of Arhats, Eight Parts Heavenly Dragon

Under the seat of Amitabha Buddha, there are five Buddha statues.

They are respectively the Buddha of Self-Liberating Transformation, the Buddha of Shiva, the Buddha of Desire and Sensual Pleasure, the Buddha of Indra, and the Buddha of Vishnu.

These five Buddhas were originally the demon lords of the Demon World in the Five Directions. They were born in the Blood Sea, with boundless magical powers and profound magic.

Later, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, they were subdued by the Daoist Zhun Ti and brought to the Western Pure Land.

Amitabha Buddha used his great magical powers to transform the five great Asura demon kings into Buddhas, turning them from demons into Buddhas. They became the five Buddhas, evolving the five great Buddha realms and becoming the lords of the Five Directions.

As for the Asuras who were captured and brought over, they also became Venerables, serving as protectors of the Buddhist Gate.

The five Buddhas seemed to not have heard what Amitabha Buddha said, and they continued to close their eyes and recite scriptures, as if they were contemplating the Buddha's teachings.

The people below, although they shaved their heads and wore yellow robes, had not yet received the precepts or attained the fruit of enlightenment.

They could only be called monks and nuns.

This was also the result of the immortals not fully converting to Buddhism. After all, there were many immortals and disciples from the Three Teachings. How could they easily betray their own teachings?

It should be known that the majesty of the Three Pure Ones had penetrated deep into their souls.

Amitabha Buddha sighed slightly when he saw that none of the three thousand people in the mortal world responded, and his face became even more distressed.

At this moment, a young man stood up from the lotus platform below and bowed, saying, "May I inform the Buddha that this humble monk has listened to the Buddha's teachings every day and deeply feels the vastness of the Buddha's teachings. However, sentient beings are suffering and sinking in the world. This humble monk is willing to go to the Western Pure Land to save and transform sentient beings, allowing them to escape the Sea of Bitterness and take refuge in the Buddha!"

Amitabha Buddha was overjoyed and said, "What you said is in line with the principles of Buddhism. I will give you the Dharma name Fahai and promote you to the fruit of enlightenment. You will become one of the Dragon Assembly of Arhats, one of the Eight Parts Heavenly Dragon. You will have the great protective power of the Heavenly Dragon, and the three thousand protective Heavenly Dragons can be dispatched at will."

Then, with a wave of his hand, a golden dragon flew out, surrounded by countless rays of light and golden brilliance. It circled around the young man and emitted the sound of dragon chants, then attached itself to his body, transforming into a dragon-shaped tattoo.

The young man also had a robe on him, shining with Buddha's light, and a seven-colored halo behind his head.

His cultivation, originally at the early stage of Profound Immortal, was forcibly raised to the late stage of Profound Immortal by the Saint.

Fahai quickly kowtowed in gratitude and said, "This humble monk will never disappoint the expectations of the Buddha. I will save and propagate the Buddha's teachings!"

"Good!" Amitabha Buddha nodded.

The three thousand people in the mortal world below saw Fahai attain the fruit of Arhat and become one of the Eight Parts Heavenly Dragon, commanding numerous Buddhist soldiers. Their beliefs couldn't help but waver.

Soon after, many immortals came forward and knelt down, expressing their conversion to Buddhism.

Amitabha Buddha promoted each of them to the fruit of enlightenment, whether it was Vajra, Arhat, Venerable, or other positions.

After a while, monks and nuns led Fahai to the Dragon Transformation Pool at the back cliff of Ling Mountain.

In front of them was a huge pool with golden water surging inside, bubbling.

There were also many Vajras beside it, pushing the captured Asuras, demons, and monsters into the Dragon Transformation Pool one by one, causing them to roll inside.

A tiger demon was pushed in, and in an instant, the tiger shed its fur, grew horns, and grew golden scales all over its body. Silver whiskers grew under its cheeks, emitting auspicious energy. It had four claws and auspicious clouds, flying out of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Not only did it possess the bloodline of the Dragon Race, but its strength also increased by two to three levels.

What was even more terrifying was that Fahai saw a "swastika" character in the depths of his Primordial Spirit, emitting Buddha's light.

A Vajra came over and, upon understanding the situation, didn't dare to neglect it and quickly said, "So it's the arrival of the Dragon Assembly of Arhats!"

Immediately, they led the three thousand protective Heavenly Dragons over.

Each of them had a strong aura and were all top-notch Earth Immortals.

The Dragon Transformation Vajra presented a token and said, "Venerable, with this token, you can mobilize these three thousand protective Heavenly Dragons!"

Fahai felt a sense of familiarity for a moment and then waved his hand, collecting all three thousand protective Heavenly Dragons into the small world within the Sea-Calming Pearl.

With his current strength, he was still far from being able to open up the Sea-Calming Pearl into a world of its own.

He had to wait until the Taiyi realm, or even the Great Principle realm.

After leaving Ling Mountain, Fahai opened the data panel.

[Name: Xia Yi (Fahai)]

[Cultivation Level: Profound Immortal (Late Stage)]

[Position: One of the Eight Dragon Arhats of Western Buddhism]

[Job Responsibilities: Guarding Western Buddhism, protecting Buddhist disciples from demonic interference]

[Benefits: Five insurances and one fund, weekends off, triple overtime pay, sixteen months' salary, etc.]

[Salary: Settled at the beginning of next month]

[In order to help the host complete the task of guarding Buddhism and suppressing demons, the Eight Floating Pagodas are bestowed]

A seven-inch tall treasure pagoda appeared in mid-air.

This pagoda had a total of eight layers. The first layer had a pair of sun and moon treasure wheels, the second layer had a large conch shell, the third layer had a large dharma drum, the fourth layer had a string of prayer beads, the fifth layer had a precious canopy, the sixth layer had a vajra pestle, the seventh layer had a demon-subduing sword, and the bottom layer was a divine stele, emitting billions of golden light, dyeing the sky golden.

Each layer of the pagoda's space was guarded by a Law Treasure, each containing an Innate restriction.

There was also a heavenly dragon coiling from the bottom layer to the top of the pagoda, suppressing the eight treasures. Among them, there were four Innate restrictions.

"Twelve Innate restrictions can be considered as Supreme Grade among Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasures!"

Fa Hai was very satisfied with the Eight Floating Pagodas in his hand.

Innate restrictions were composed of countless Great Dao runes and were the source of various Divine Abilities of Innate Spirit Treasures.

One to twelve Innate restrictions were considered Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Thirteen to twenty-four Innate restrictions were considered Middle Grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

When he was still the Sweeping Immortal Official, the system gave him the Pure World White Lotus of the lower three grades, which contained an Innate restriction.

Now thinking about it, it should have been a welfare for newcomers given by the system.

At this time, the system spoke again:

[Your direct superior, the Lord of Western Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha, has issued a task, requiring you to eliminate the plague demons and save the world. Do you need the system's assistance?]

"I need it!"

Fa Hai quickly replied.

[With three thousand guardian heavenly dragons and the Eight Floating Pagodas, the host can eliminate the plague demons. As for saving the world from water and fire, the system will give the host the clay for creating humans.]

Soon, a lump of mud appeared in Fa Hai's hand, about the size of a fist, with a brown color.

"What is this for?"

Fa Hai was puzzled, not knowing the system's intention.

[According to the host's intentions, the clay can be molded into humans, and their age and figure can be specified.]

Fa Hai tried to mold a person with the clay, then placed the small thing on the ground and blew on it.

Strangely enough, the clay figure immediately came to life and turned into a graceful young girl with snow-white feet.

"Isn't this the first Divine Ability of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, the Manipulation of Creation?"

Fa Hai was shocked.

In the Three Realms, besides Saints, only the Minghe Old Ancestor in the Blood Sea of the Netherworld, who created the Asura clan, could master the Manipulation of Creation and create living beings.

But the only one who could create humans was Saint Nüwa.

Even other Saints did not have this ability.

However, Fa Hai also noticed something unusual about the girl in front of him.

That was the absence of a soul.

Without a soul, it meant that she was not a living being, just like a machine.

He had a thought.

The graceful girl in front of him immediately fell softly to the ground and turned back into a lump of mud.

Fa Hai also understood the system's intention.

Both he and Jiang Bai had immortal bodies and couldn't personally test the medicine. They were helpless when it came to mortals infected with the plague.

This clay puppet was like an experimental white mouse, allowing him to experiment as he pleased.

Soon, Fa Hai arrived at the Southern Zhanbu Continent.

Above a small city of 100,000 people, the air was filled with the miasma of the plague, along with a pervasive aura of death.

Among them, several yellow plague demons were wreaking havoc in the city.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Fahai chanted a Buddhist mantra and waved his hand, emitting a golden Buddha light.

The disruptive plague spirits immediately let out a wail, dissipating like snow in boiling water.

Although the plague spirits were dead, the disease still remained.

Fahai collected a strand of the plague air and injected it into the human-shaped clay figure.

Not long after, the clay figure, which was no different from a Perfected Being, began to feel feverish all over, with a pale complexion and fine beads of sweat on its forehead.

After a while, it became cold and curled up into a ball.

The alternating hot and cold sensations were extremely painful.

Among Xia Yi's many incarnations, they could share the staff storage room.

Therefore, Fahai was able to instantly obtain the tens of thousands of herbs collected by Jiang Bai.

Before long, based on the symptoms of the clay figure, he prepared a prescription.

And then fed it to the clay figure.

Half an hour later, the middle-aged man transformed from the clay figure gradually began to recover from the high fever, and his breathing became steady.

Just when Fahai thought the medicine was effective.

The middle-aged man suddenly convulsed all over, foaming at the mouth, and died.

"Could it be that I added too much Scorpion Grass?"

Fahai was somewhat uncertain.

Scorpion Grass is a medicinal herb used to treat malaria, which is suitable for the current disease.

But all medicine has its toxicity, and Scorpion Grass contains a trace of scorpion venom, which can be poisonous if consumed in large quantities.

Normally, this bit of scorpion venom wouldn't be a problem.

But now, ordinary people with malaria already have weak resistance, and a little toxicity can take their lives.

After multiple experiments.

Fahai finally developed a prescription that could eliminate the plague left by the plague spirits.

However, to be on the safe side, he divided the clay given by the system into ten parts and created ten human beings, injecting them with the plague air.

There were men, women, old and young, and people of all shapes and sizes.

The result was that they were all cured, and there were no side effects.

"Let's call this the 'Scorpion Clearing Malaria Formula'!"

Fahai was pleasantly surprised and then passed on the prescription.

In a few days, the plague and malaria in this city were brought under control.

Next, he went to another village city ravaged by the plague spirits.

Using the same method.

Exterminate the plague spirits, and then use the clay dolls to continuously experiment until finding a solution to the disease.

During the process, he left behind the title of Dragon's Disciple, which was sung by the world.

There were even many cities that began to establish temples and sculpt golden statues.

The rise of the Buddhist Gate was inevitable.

Not only Xia Yi knew this, but many Saints also knew.

The two leaders of the Western Church, who became Saints through loans, destined the achievements of today.

If we compare the Heavenly Dao to a bank, it would be like a small company called the Western Church coming to borrow money in ancient times.

Although this company was small, the two bosses had great potential and made various promises to the Heavenly Dao Bank, painting many big pictures.

So, the Heavenly Dao Bank lent a large sum of "merit funds" to the two bosses of the Western Church, allowing them to become Saints.

Naturally, this was risky.

If a small loan couldn't be repaid, the Heavenly Dao had ways to punish.

But this was the merit that allowed the two quasi-Saints to become Saints. It was immense. If it couldn't be repaid, the Heavenly Dao would also suffer great losses.

Therefore, in order for the two Saints of the Western Church to repay their debts and interest.

The Heavenly Dao naturally had to let the Western Church prosper.

In the midst of a towering mountain ahead, a majestic plague gas surged into the sky.

Fa Hai saw it clearly. It was a demon god towering thousands of feet tall, with a strange and ferocious appearance. It had three heads, with a dragon-like head in the middle, a bird head on the left, and a bull head on the right. Its body was devoid of feathers and covered in pitch-black scales, as if cast from dark gold, shimmering with a metallic luster and emitting a strange aura.

"What a powerful plague god!" Fa Hai's expression became solemn. This demon god had at least the cultivation of a Golden Immortal.

To attain the Golden Immortal level, one must gather the three flowers on top of their head and cultivate the five primordial energies, transcending the Three Realms and not being bound by the Five Elements. Because of their immortality, they rarely perish easily.

In the entire Three Realms, they could be considered powerful beings.

Now, this plague god was heading towards the land of Qi Lu.

It was the territory of Heavenly King Yuan Yuan.

Although Yuan Yuan had not borne the heavenly mandate to become the ruler of the human race, he would still play a significant role in the future. He couldn't allow the plague god to destroy Qi Lu.

Fa Hai immediately flew over, holding the Eight-Part Floating Tower in his hand.

This kind of plague god, like the fierce beasts in the Northern Lu Continent, was naturally ferocious and unable to transform, making communication impossible.

He immediately summoned the Eight-Part Floating Tower.

As the pagoda flew out, heavenly dragons entwined around it, with countless rays of light and auspicious signs. There were a total of three thousand guardian heavenly dragons inside the pagoda, emitting a grand and melodious Buddhist chant, reciting millions of scriptures, such as the Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Infinite Life Sutra...

The Eight-Part Floating Tower pressed down fiercely towards the plague god below.

The immense power shattered and destroyed all the mountains within a thousand miles, turning the sea of clouds in the sky into a golden ocean.

This attack contained the power of three thousand guardian heavenly dragons, equivalent to the power of three thousand Earth Immortals.

It could only be described as terrifying!

Even this Golden Immortal-level plague god sank hundreds of meters into the ground, only able to support itself with its six large hands, preventing it from falling.

However, after all, it was a demon god formed from innate plague gas, and even a Golden Immortal of the same level among the human race was not its match.

The three heads immediately roared in unison, spewing out demonic light and knocking the Eight-Part Floating Tower away.

After temporarily getting rid of the Eight-Part Floating Tower, the plague god leaped up and wildly smashed its six large hands down.

Fa Hai's expression remained unchanged as he chanted an incantation, "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Principle Dharma Incantation, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bamaha Boom!"

Then, a burning sensation arose in his chest, and the golden dragon tattoo immediately came to life, emitting a loud and resounding dragon chant. It flew out of his body, reaching a length of over a hundred feet, and engaged in a fierce battle with the plague god.

That Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was bestowed by Amitabha Buddha and was extraordinary. It was actually evenly matched with the plague god in battle.

Fa Hai quickly recalled the fallen Eight-Part Floating Tower.

Once again, he pressed down on the plague god.

The three thousand guardian heavenly dragons exerted all their strength, reciting scriptures and shaking the heavens and earth.

The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was extremely fierce, entangling the plague god like a celestial rope.

For a while, the plague god couldn't break free and was eventually captured and suppressed by the Eight-Part Floating Tower on the topmost level.

The golden pagoda trembled violently, as if it couldn't contain this plague god that had existed since ancient times.

Fa Hai had a thought and took out a bright pearl, placing it in the mouth of the dragon head on the top of the pagoda, presenting the image of a golden dragon spitting out a pearl.

Immediately, the trembling of the golden pagoda lessened significantly until it disappeared completely.

This was a Sea-Calming Pearl.

If it could calm the sea, let alone suppress a Golden Immortal-level plague god?

The three thousand guardian heavenly dragons then chanted the Universal Salvation Mantra together, attempting to convert and convert the plague god.

Of course, this was a lengthy process.

In the Heavenly Court, in the Department of the Yearly God.

The Sun God Wen Liang noticed that there was a rampant plague and epidemic in the mortal realm, with the plague god causing chaos.

He quickly reported this to the God of the Yearly God, Yang Ren.

"Could this be the work of the Plague Department?" Yang Ren was both shocked and angry.

He was extremely resentful towards evil and saw the suffering of the people. He immediately entered the Fragrant Incense Hall and reported this matter to the Great Emperor Jade Emperor.
