Chapter 1577 Fighting for the Relic
The fall of the Great Demon Master would certainly be known to Saint Ancestor Wu Lin. After all, the reason why the nine Demon Soul Banners flew back on their own was probably because they had been connected with Saint Ancestor Wu Lin's mind and had developed demonic nature, which was why they flew away on their own when they were defeated.
The old monk with white eyebrows in Tafo Temple is probably the abbot of the temple, Monk Dehuo.
Monk Dehuo really looked like a raging fire. In order to protect the many disciples in the temple from being devoured by the devil in the Demon Soul Banner, he actually used the method of Nirvana and died together with the evil Mahayana.
If Saint Ancestor Wu Lin came in person now, the Pagoda Buddha Temple would surely fall apart and perish. However, Xiao Lin also knew that the Great Bodhi Temple, as the holy place of Buddhism in the Lonely Sun Continent, would naturally not sit idly by.
I'm afraid that at the moment Saint Ancestor Wu Lin is also unable to take care of himself and is struggling to deal with the senior monks in the Mahabodhi Temple.
Xiao Lin inexplicably felt worried. The Saint Ancestor Wu Lin was undoubtedly the devil. He seized the Demon Soul Banner and destroyed many Buddhist and Taoist temples one after another. It was not because he was unhappy with Buddhism, but because he wanted to devour the spiritual power of the Buddhist monks to enhance his own strength.
Once he is allowed to recover his magical powers and combat strength before he came to the mortal world, I am afraid that the entire seventeen spiritual realms will face a devastating disaster.
However, even though Xiao Lin knew it, he could not do anything. With his current level, he was no match for that demon. The most important thing was that Xiao Lin did not want his identity to be discovered by Saint Ancestor Wu Lin. Otherwise, considering his hatred for him, he would rather give up dealing with the Buddhist Sect and prioritize dealing with himself.
Just as Xiao Lin turned around and was about to leave, he saw a golden light suddenly burst out from the distant mountains. At the same time, a golden halo hundreds of feet in size rose slowly. Although it was daytime, the golden light was still very conspicuous.
Several golden rays of light shot out from afar, and even the Pagoda Buddha Temple, which had just experienced a catastrophe, shot out three long golden rainbows towards the direction of the golden light.
The four words "golden bone relic" suddenly rang in Xiao Lin's mind.
The demon Mahayana had come to the Tafo Temple for the purpose of obtaining the golden bone relic, but he did not expect that the relic would appear in the world at this moment.
Unfortunately, the abbot of Tafo Temple, Monk Dehuo, could not see it.
As Xiao Lin's mind moved, a dark green spiritual light rolled up and shot out with Xiao Hei. After flying hundreds of feet, it disappeared silently without a trace.
Where the golden light was, there was an inconspicuous canyon. Inside the canyon, there were mountains and rocks everywhere, and a few dilapidated stone towers could be vaguely seen. However, due to the long years that had passed, these stone towers looked like weathered dead stones.
However, one of the stone towers still maintained its appearance as a tower, flashing golden halos that shot in all directions.
"Amitabha, fellow donors, this golden bone relic is the treasure of our Tafo Temple. Please let go of your greed and leave quickly." On a rock not far away, there was a beautiful woman standing. The woman was wearing a white gown and holding a Buddhist wish bead. Four layers of golden light overlapped on her head, flashing light golden circles that expanded and contracted.
"So it is the Bodhisattva Yuanci of the Tafo Temple. The golden bone relic is an ownerless treasure. Moreover, this place is thousands of miles away from the Tafo Temple. It is a bit far-fetched to say that it belongs to your Tafo Temple, right?" A man with a spear on his back looked at the Bodhisattva Yuanci, smiled slightly, and spoke.
"Second-rank immortal warrior Feng Chen?"
Seeing this man's appearance and the thick and heavy black spear behind him, people around immediately started talking, and many people even showed fearful expressions.
Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Yuanci was also slightly stunned and frowned. She first glanced around, and her eyes immediately fixed on two people. One of them was wearing a linen robe, about fifty years old, with a gloomy face, and a pair of hands that were exposed were like eagle claws. He also had a hooked nose, narrow eyes, and sharp eyes. He was looking coldly at another monk next to him.
The monk was fat and had a big tail. He was smiling and holding a pestle in his hand. When he saw the old man with eagle eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but grin. He thrust the pestle in his hand, and with a "boom", it went straight into the rock, sinking about a foot into it.
Seeing this, the eagle-eyed man couldn't help but turn his gaze to Feng Chen, the man with a gun on his back.
"Brother Feng, that fat monk is the guardian of the Pufa Temple, the fourth-level Buddha Yuanxin. His fighting power may even be stronger than Yuanci. Fighting alone, Brother Feng may not be their opponent. Only if the two of us join forces, we may be able to seize the golden bone relic. What do you think, Brother Feng?" The voice sounded in the ears of the man with the gun.
The gunman's expression did not change at all when he heard this, but he looked around.
When the Demonic Mahayana attacked the Pagoda Temple earlier, he was also one of the bystanders. With such power, even he, a second-grade immortal warrior, did not dare to show his face. He just became a spectator in the dense forest.
Originally, he had no idea about the golden bone relic. After all, with the strength of the Tafo Temple, Dehuo alone was enough to kill him countless times. What's more, Monk Dehuo was as his name suggested, with a shape like a raging fire. If he was targeted by Dehuo, he would have a hard time. He was afraid that one day he would be "killed by demons" by Monk Dehuo.
In the Continent of Gu Ri, except for the Demonic Sect, all other sects, whether they are immortal warriors or immortal cultivation sects, are firmly suppressed by the Buddhist Sect.
When good things happen in normal times, we usually have no choice but to give in, and feel aggrieved.
But the current situation is different. With his combat power as a second-rank immortal warrior, he is not afraid of a fourth-level Buddhist cultivator. The golden bone relic is also extraordinary. If he can obtain it and take it, perhaps he can break through to the first rank in one fell swoop.
From the second grade to the first grade, it seems that there is only one major realm difference, but the difficulty is no less than that from the ninth grade to the second grade. Feng Chen has been stagnant in the realm of the second grade immortal warrior for too long. The lifespan of immortal warriors is not as good as that of immortal cultivators or Buddhist cultivators. Because of their slightly weaker primordial spirits, even the lifespan of a first grade immortal warrior will not exceed ten thousand years.
If you can break through to the first-grade immortal warrior realm within ten thousand years, you can still give it a try. Although the chances are slim, there is still a slight chance to break through the void and ascend to the immortal world.
Only if one can go one step further and advance to the super first level, can one break through the void and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.
The man with the gun thought about it for a moment and then came to his senses.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Ying, Feng agrees to cooperate with you. Let's first grab the golden bone relic, and then we can find a secluded place to discuss the method of distribution. How do you think?"
The eagle-eyed man sneered in his heart when he heard this, but he agreed without hesitation.
After the two reached an agreement, they remained calm on the surface.
Because Bodhisattva Yuanci and Monk Yuanxin were already fighting overtly and covertly, Monk Yuanxin said, "The golden bone relic is a rare treasure. Originally, it was of no great use to the monks of our Buddhist sect. However, it is rumored that this golden bone relic is the remains of our predecessor, the great Master Zhiwu, from Pufa Temple. I should bring it back and enshrine it in the temple."
"Brother Yuanxin, you are joking. This stone forest was originally the site of the former Buddha burial pagoda forest of the Pagoda Buddha Temple. The golden bone relics buried here naturally belong to our Pagoda Buddha Temple. Since Brother Yuanxin said that the golden bone relics are useless to our Buddhist monks, then there is no need to compete with our Pagoda Buddha Temple for them."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he still had a smiling expression on his face.
Although the golden bone relic is made from the essence and blood of a Buddhist monk, the Buddhist monk would also leave a Buddhist aura within the relic before ascending to heaven. If one carries the relic with him and meditates on it day and night, there is a high probability that one will be able to comprehend the true meaning of Buddhism from it, and it is not impossible to even go further.
It is extremely difficult to advance from the Fourth Fruit Realm to the Great Sun Realm. Not only does it require a huge amount of faith and merit, but it also requires extremely high roots and comprehension. Even among the top 100 houses, most of them only have one or two Buddhist practitioners who have reached the Great Sun Realm.
Yuanxin is the golden body that protects the Pufa Temple. He is not lacking in merits. What he lacks is the Buddhist rhyme contained in the golden bone relic. Therefore, he will definitely not give up.
The same is true for Yuanci Bodhisattva. The golden body of the Bodhisattva usually makes a great wish to show himself in Buddhism, but in the final analysis, it is also to improve his own realm, hoping that one day he can ascend to the fairyland and achieve the supreme path of Buddhism.
The Tao rhyme in the golden bone relic is also something she must obtain. Originally, when the golden bone relic emitted Buddha's light last time, she had asked Abbot Dehuo to help her obtain the golden bone relic. In this way, she has a great chance of making one more step forward and adding another Vairocana Bodhisattva to the Tafo Temple.
Although Dehuo's character is as fiery as fire, he is not a selfish person. Otherwise, he would not have been ordered by the Mahabodhi Temple to preside over the Pagoda Temple, and he readily agreed.
With the promise of Abbot Dehuo, Yuanci thought that the golden bone relic was already in her pocket. However, she did not expect that the evil sect would suddenly invade. In order to preserve the Pagoda Buddha Temple, Abbot Dehuo was willing to use his ten thousand years of cultivation to kill the evil sect. This made Bodhisattva Yuanci feel quite amused.
Seeing this scene, Yuanci couldn't help but secretly curse Master Dehuo for being so stupid.
"Boom~~"
Just as several people were harboring their own evil intentions, the stone tower in the middle suddenly began to vibrate, and circles of golden light flashed out from it towards the surroundings.
Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the surrounding wild beasts and creatures all stopped, even the bloodthirsty light in their eyes disappeared without a trace, and they lay down obediently.
At the bottom of the stone tower, a fist-sized golden light began to appear and slowly rose. In the blink of an eye, it reached the top of the stone tower. Then, in the burning gaze of the crowd, it flashed out directly. It turned out to be a golden stone the size of a pigeon egg wrapped in a ball of golden light.
It is called a stone. It is actually a golden bone relic the size of a pigeon egg. It is not a regular circle, but looks like a pebble. It is golden all over and emits a strong Buddha light. At the same time, a powerful blood and energy force also emerges, which makes the second-grade immortal warrior Feng Chen show a look of surprise on his face.
His figure disappeared in an instant, turned into layers of afterimages, and flew towards the golden bone relic.
When he was still dozens of feet away from the golden bone relic, a Buddhist chant suddenly exploded in the void, followed by a burst of golden light, and a golden palm print several dozen feet in size came towards him from the side.
If he still chose to grab the golden bone relic, he would definitely not be able to avoid the golden Buddha's palm. Even if he was an immortal warrior, he would definitely be seriously injured under one palm. So his face darkened and the spear behind him instantly appeared in his hand.
"【Break】~" With an angry shout, the spear stabbed out instantly, the air was compressed instantly, and then bursts of sonic booms suddenly erupted.
With a loud bang, the Buddha's palm instantly shattered under the spear, turning into scattered Buddha's light that flew in all directions, exploding in the stone forest like a string of cannonballs, raising a cloud of dust.
It seemed that it was caused by the air flow, or perhaps the golden bone relic had spirituality, and it actually accelerated and flew towards the sky.
"Amitabha." A Buddhist chant was heard, and Yuanci's delicate body soared into the sky. The wish-power beads in her hand shot out, and the string of wish-power beads grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it became dozens of feet in size. One string even covered an area of a thousand feet, turning into a huge golden halo, shooting towards the golden bone relic.
He obviously wanted to enclose the golden bone relic into the wish-power bead, so that the golden bone relic would be in his pocket.
Unfortunately, when the wish bead was still several feet away from the golden bone relic, there was a loud thunder in the void and a huge flash of lightning appeared out of thin air. At the end of the lightning, an old man with an eagle nose could be vaguely seen with a ball of lightning flashing on his hands. As he pushed forward suddenly, a large piece of lightning burst out and directly hit the wish bead.
The wish bead emitted a bright golden light, and actually began to rotate on its own. As the Buddha's light rotated in circles, it overlapped and condensed into a golden light shield in the sky. Even though the lightning struck it, it only dimmed the golden light shield a little, but did not hinder it, and it still went towards the golden bone relic.
"Hmph~" Seeing this scene, the old man with the eagle nose narrowed his eyes, and a bit of coldness emerged. He suddenly stretched out his hands, and accompanied by thunder, two hundred-foot eagle claws flashing with lightning power fell from the sky, directly tearing the golden light on the wish-power bead and grabbing towards the wish-power bead itself.
A hint of anger also appeared on the pretty face of Bodhisattva Yuanci. She also stretched out her slender jade hand, and with a flash of golden light on her body, she instantly appeared in the center of the wish-power bead, raised her head and slapped it out with one palm.
The seemingly weak palm caused the surrounding Buddha light to gather instantly. At the same time, a huge golden body slowly rose from behind Yuanci Bodhisattva. The golden body seemed to be made of gold, radiating golden light. The golden palm also slowly pushed towards the void, seemingly slow, but in fact extremely fast. When the two hundred-foot eagle claws just reached the sky above the wish-power bead, they directly collided with the golden palm.
The void shook violently, and then golden Buddha light, mixed with a large amount of lightning power, formed a circle and instantly spread out over a thousand miles. The mountains in the distance also exploded one after another when hit by the circle, and large tracts of forests were razed to the ground in an instant.
The monks around who were originally ready to make a move and were greedy for the golden bone relic, retreated in fear. Their realms were far inferior to those of these four people. The aftermath of their battle was enough to tear them apart, so they did not dare to covet the golden bone relic. After all, compared to the golden bone relic, their own lives were more important.
