At first, the spirit found the music disconcerting, but upon closer listening, his brow furrowed. The composition was unmistakably Buddhist, brimming with Zen-like tranquility.
The spirit recalled tales of potent Buddhist music capable of driving away malevolent spirits, once feeling its overwhelming power from a distance, and there were even those spirits who lost their very souls upon hearing this music.
Although the Buddhist music he heard now paled in comparison to that, it still managed to affect his state of mind.
Compelled by the sound, the spirit turned his gaze toward the source and clapped his hands. In an instant, the sound system playing Buddhist music in front of a nearby shop erupted into fragments, startling the people in the vicinity.
Paying little heed to the commotion, the spirit continued his search for places infused with Yin and evil energies. Along his path, he covertly eliminated numerous individuals, absorbing their Yang energy to hasten his healing. Furthermore, he captured and imprisoned their souls, cultivating them as malevolent spirits to serve his own purposes.
However, as the days unfolded, the spirit encountered intermittent bouts of restlessness triggered by the haunting strains of Buddhist music. To his dismay, he discovered that every instance of music affecting him had been played by none other than Su Jing.
This revelation fueled his burgeoning hatred towards Su Jing. If it weren't for his wariness of Su Jing's Holy Light, he would have already launched a full-scale assault.
"When I regain my peak strength and forge a protective talisman, I shall return to annihilate you. By then, I will effortlessly establish dominion over this realm, transforming it into an infinite abyss of torment. None shall be able to impede my reign," The spirit brooded darkly.
Suddenly, a realization struck him, prompting him to retrieve a black talisman paper from his pocket. In an instant, the paper turned to ashes.
His countenance transformed dramatically as he withdrew another identical black talisman paper, gazing at it intently. Yet again, the paper disintegrated into nothingness.
"Damn it! Su Jing's Holy Light is expanding at an alarming rate!" The spirit seethed with intense hatred.
Having stationed some of the malevolent spirits he controlled as sentinels along his journey, he deduced that the sudden obliteration of these entities was due to Su Jing's Holy Light expanding into their vicinity.
"It appears that he, too, seeks to strengthen himself and eliminate me. Let us see who shall have the last laugh," The spirit sneered. Determined to expedite his own growth, he resolved to embark on a spree of bloodshed and destruction on a grand scale.
The speculation of the undead was not wrong; indeed, the Angel's Holy Light had expanded. The tremendous influence of the seven Buddhist songs had brought significant Recycle Degree Points to the "Universe Garbage Station" and a substantial spiritual force to the Angel Badge.
Coupled with Su Jing's extensive charity work, benefiting many impoverished areas, people were grateful, and their hearts were moved. As a result, the natural absorption of spiritual force became even more abundant.
The diameter of the Angel Badge's Holy Light expanded rapidly at a speed of several hundred kilometers per day, quickly enveloping the entire China and spreading outward. Currently, it had already covered one-fifth of India.
Of course, the hidden contest between the Undead and Su Jing was invisible to outsiders. They only saw Su Jing stealing the limelight and marveled at how amazing he was. However, what surprised the fans, the media, and the onlookers, even more, was yet to come.
On this day, at the World Magic Convention, one magician after another from all over the world showcased their magic on stage, captivating and touching the audience.
However, when the host introduced the "Next contestant, Su Jing," the entire venue fell silent for a while. Su Jing's reputation preceded him, and everyone wondered if it was the same Su Jing.
As a result, Su Jing indeed took the stage. Just as everyone was astonished, wondering if Su Jing could perform magic, he presented an extremely stunning magic trick.
He was dressed casually, wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and flip-flops. He even embarrassedly said that he arrived in a hurry and didn't have time to change clothes, so he asked for some time to prepare.
Then, he drew and cut on a piece of paper, unexpectedly taking out trousers, a suit, leather shoes, and a tie from the drawing, putting them on himself, looking as if they were real, and he would also look handsome and neat as he wore them.
However, he seemed unsatisfied with them so he took off the suit, casually threw it away, and astonishingly, the suit stuck to the paper, turning into another drawing...
After some twists and turns, he finally chose his favorite outfit. Then, he drew a comb on the paper, took it out, and combed his hair into a slicked-back style, looking even more handsome.
This was a close-up magic trick that seemed simple at first glance but stunned the entire audience. The judges and senior members of the magic industry present were all dumbfounded. Even the ordinary audience was amazed. No one could figure out how he did it.
How could they possibly figure it out? Because, in fact, it wasn't really magic but a spell. Su Jing used the "Paper Cutting turns into Soldiers Scripture" from "The Immortal Gourd" universe. Since he incorporated spells, this magic trick naturally didn't end there.
Continuing from that, Su Jing created various life forms from the drawing and cutting, birds, dinosaurs, and flying dragons, exciting the entire audience and causing the judges to stand up in excitement.
These magic tricks quickly spread out, shocking the magic industry and even allowing Su Jing to become a legend in the future.
A few days later, at a national painting competition, Su Jing appeared and presented a lifelike painting of a beautiful woman washing her hair, shocking the entire world.
A few days later, Su Jing stepped into the world of Extreme Sports and Live Streamed his Extreme challenges one after another. He challenged the eight major Extreme challenges in the Extreme sports world, including Skydiving, Wingsuit Flying, Freehand rock climbing, and more.
In each challenge, Su Jing chose the most difficult one, breaking one Extreme challenge record after another and once again becoming a legend.
Following that, Su Jing appeared in the Go Competitions, Martial Arts Competitions, Dance Competitions, Memory Competitions, China's Got Talent... Su Jing's figure appeared in various fields.
He seemed to be capable of anything, surpassing everyone by miles, breaking records in various industries, causing a frenzy in all walks of life, and creating one Guinness World Record after another.
The whole world was stunned. It turned out that Su Deity, even though he had previously shown off his prowess, was still being relatively low-key.
Now, he suddenly became high-profile, actively participating in various competitions and stealing the limelight. Was he insane? As onlookers, they all wanted to catch a slice of him to study and see whether he was human or a god.
