Chapter 185: Chapter 167: Turmoil in the Western Regions

His consciousness blurred for a moment.

When Xiao Mo came to his senses, he found himself standing before a dilapidated courtyard.

Xiao Mo looked around and saw he was in a village.

The village was completely deserted. Many of the houses had collapsed, and they bore the marks of being burned.

The place looked as if it had been ravaged by war.

Xiao Mo glanced down at his small hands, then found a water urn to look at his reflection.

He looked exactly the same as he had in his previous lives. Nothing was different.

Judging by his appearance, he was about ten years old.

Just as Xiao Mo was sizing up his surroundings, the voice and words of the Hundred Generations Book appeared in his mind:

[Host has entered the fourth life of the Hundred Generations Book.]

[Background: You were born in a small village in the Western Regions.

Though you were an orphan, you managed to get by on the charity of the villagers.

But one day, war came to your village, and everyone in it was killed.

You were out catching fish in the river and managed to escape the slaughter.

In a dog-eat-dog world like the Western Regions, killing and being killed are perfectly normal occurrences.

For many people in the Western Regions, simply staying alive is a luxury.

After the village was burned down, you had nowhere to go and could only wander aimlessly.

Fortunately, you met a few other boys your age on the road.

You joined their group. As you were the youngest, you became known as ’Fifth’ among the five of them.

The five of you wandered together, stealing and begging, digging for wild vegetables in the mountains and catching fish in the river to survive.

Although you never had a full meal, you didn’t starve to death.

Eventually, you drifted to this village, which had also been ravaged by war, and have taken up temporary residence here.]

[Soon, you will meet a little girl a year younger than you. She has also fled here to escape the famine. This girl possesses a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, allowing her to sense everyone’s emotions and even see into their thoughts.

Furthermore, this little girl has an incredible aptitude for Buddhism; she is a prodigy of the Buddhist Dao, the likes of which are seen only once every five thousand years.

In the future, she could potentially achieve the Saint Buddha Realm.

Mission 1: Please help this little girl achieve Buddhahood here. (The higher the little girl’s Realm in the Buddhist Dao, the greater the Host’s reward. When the little girl achieves the Buddha Realm, the Host will receive the maximum reward.)

Note: Please rest assured, Host. Although this little girl can read everyone’s minds, she is unable to read yours.]

[The Western Regions are extremely chaotic. Buddhist Sects are numerous, and Demon Sects run rampant. In this place, only the strong can survive! Only the strongest can control their own destiny!

Mission 2: In this life, the Host can cultivate. Please grow continuously stronger and climb step by step to the very top! The higher the Host’s Realm, the more bountiful the rewards. When the Host becomes the strongest in the Western Regions, the reward will be at its maximum.

Mission 3: Please consolidate the Demon Sects of the Western Regions and create a vast Demon Sect. Each time the Host absorbs a Demon Sect, rewards will be accumulated. When the Host unifies all the Demon Sects in the Western Regions, you will receive the maximum reward.]

[Mission End Time: When the Host dies in this life, the three missions will be settled. Please proceed with caution.]

As the words and voice of the Hundred Generations Book faded from his mind, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

This time, the Hundred Generations Book had given him three missions, and none of them seemed easy.

On top of that, this Western Regions he was in was a chaotic land where the strong preyed on the weak.

Coupled with the fact that he hadn’t even finished living off the villagers’ charity before it was all gone, this was truly a Hell-mode start.

’Forget it,’ Xiao Mo thought, shaking his head. ’It’s useless to think about all this. I’ll just take it one step at a time. For now, I’ll wait for that little girl to show up.’

Xiao Mo was genuinely curious about the little girl mentioned by the Hundred Generations Book.

What kind of girl could have such a high chance of achieving the Saint Buddha Realm?

“Fifth! Fifth!”

Just as Xiao Mo was lost in thought, the voices of several children called out.

Xiao Mo turned to look.

Drawing on the memories provided by the Hundred Generations Book, Xiao Mo recognized them as his “big brothers.”

It was just as the Hundred Generations Book had said.

He had met these boys on the road while fleeing the famine.

They had all come to this village to live temporarily, and would occasionally go to Luofeng City to cheat, swindle, and trick people. Sometimes they would even tuck a hand into their sleeve and pretend to be disabled to beg on the streets.

Among them, the eldest, Zheng Shanhan, was fifteen. He was the backbone of the group—decisive, loyal, and responsible. Everyone looked up to him.

Second Brother, Lou Tai, was fourteen. He was careful and meticulous, with a quick mind full of clever schemes. He also had delicate features, which often earned him the pity of young ladies when he begged.

Third Brother, Tang Kuang, was thirteen. Though he wasn’t very bright, his strength was incredible, equal to that of a grown man. He had absolute faith in Big Brother Zheng Shanhan and would do whatever he said.

Fourth Brother, Qian Zhenhao, was twelve. He was timid, loved money, and was indecisive, but he knew a little about medicine, which his late father had taught him.

“Big Brother, what is it?” Xiao Mo asked curiously. “You look so happy.”

“Fifth, do you remember a certain Landlord Fang in Luofeng City?” Second Brother Lou Tai answered for the eldest.

“I do,” Xiao Mo nodded. “But why bring up Landlord Fang all of a sudden, Second Brother?”

That Landlord Fang from Luofeng City was a famous, wealthy merchant, but he was notoriously stingy.

However, Landlord Fang had one weakness—he loved visiting brothels and was extremely willing to spend money on the women there.

But he had a “tigress” at home. Moreover, his wife’s family was quite powerful; in fact, you could say Landlord Fang owed his entire fortune to her.

So, Landlord Fang always snuck out to the brothels in secret.

It was said that he once kept a concubine on the side, but his wife found out and raised hell for a long time.

In the end, Landlord Fang was reduced to receiving a monthly allowance from his wife.

“Hee hee hee,” Third Brother Tang Kuang laughed. “That old tightwad Landlord Fang only has one hobby: visiting brothels. If you don’t let him go, it’s like a death sentence for him, right? So he’s been stashing away a lot of money lately.”

“But guess what!”

Big Brother Zheng Shanhan slapped his thigh.

“Today, when Second Brother was north of the city looking for birds’ eggs, he saw Landlord Fang in disguise, sneaking into a courtyard.

He actually found where Landlord Fang is hiding his private stash of money!

We’re heading to Luofeng City in a bit!

This time, we five brothers are going to get rich!”
