Chapter 560: The Weeping Divine Beast
With his vision greatly limited on the sea floor, Tang Xiu could only clearly see a few tens of ters in front of him, but he was keenly aware of the unusualness of the situation with Ji Chii’s reminder.
It was very quiet and tranquil!
The deeper they subrged, the more quiet it was. Originally, they could see a few fishes swimming once in a while; however, the deeper they went, the lesser the number of fishes entered their sight. But now, there was absolutely no sea life roaming within their sights at all. Such an abnormality must be caused by an unusual monster, an extrely abnormal one.
“Chii, use your spiritual sense to investigate this!” Said Tang Xiu a solemn expression after he looked around.
Ji Chii forced a smile and shook her head, “I’ve used my spiritual sense to comb the surroundings, Lord, but I found a serious problem. My perception has been terribly suppressed by sothing here. There’s even a special energy fluctuation from that direction about 20 kiloters from us that completely bars my perception outside.”
Tang Xiu’s expression changed as he said, “If I’m not mistaken in recognizing that direction... it should be the direction of Resting Cetery Island, yes?”
“Yeah, it’s the direction of the Resting Cetery Island,” said Ji Chii with a nod. “Also, this Resting Cetery Island is very bizarre. There are no gray listone rock strata beneath it, but deep seawater.”
Tang Xiu looked blank and said with a disbelieving expression, “You an... Resting Cetery Island is practically floating on the sea surface?”
“Yes, it’s completely being suspended on the surface of the sea,” said Ji Chii.
Tang Xiu’s heartbeat raced. Countless thoughts unceasingly kept popping up inside his mind. He could now guess that there was a peerless vast array laid out beneath Resting Cetery Island. That array must have been arranged by an extrely powerful figure since it’s not only able to hold up Resting Cetery Island but is also able to bar and isolate it from an Immortal’s perception.
“Let’s go there and have a look!”
Finally, Tang Xiu made a decision and said in a heavy tone. With Ji Chii here, he didn’t believe there was anything on Earth that could pose a danger to her.
In just a few dozen breaths, Ji Chii had already brought Tang Xiu to the bottom beneath Resting Cetery Island. Before their eyes, there was a layer of energy curtain emitting reddish-golden light with a primitive and unsophisticated ever-changing Sanskrit line written on it. It was as if there was a roaming sentient spirit fish continuously wandering about in stream of lights.
“Chii, can you break this array?”
After studying it for a long ti and still unable figure out the mystery of this light curtain, Tang Xiu imdiately turned to Ji Chii and asked.
Ji Chii frowned deeply and nodded, before she then shook her head and helplessly said, “I can break this array, Lord, but there’s a serious problem with it. If I were to forcefully break this array, the entire Feng Shui great array will be completely destroyed, and thus will sink Resting Cetery Island above, thus making everything we have previously done go to waste.”
Tang Xiu’s expression changed. As he felt helpless and at a loss of what to do, a special wave of energy suddenly fluctuated and made his fingers slightly numb, and he perceived a hint of ‘yearning and longing’ ntal mood.
“What is it?”
Tang Xiu directly opened his interspatial ring. In a flash, the rusty ancient bronze lamp suddenly flew out of the interspatial ring by itself. Just as it was about to co outside, all the layers of effulgent golden light that surrounded the seabed within the radius of several hundreds of kiloters brightly shined.
In the next mont, the ancient bronze lamp suddenly lit up by itself as a small fla leaped out like a sprite. Within the fla, the Buddhist Sarira emitted out an orb of Buddha halo as it beca slightly larger and then quietly suspended in front of Tang Xiu and Ji Chii.
“What is this, Lord?” Asked Ji Chii, surprised.
Tang Xiu shook his head since he was also at a loss. Although he had obtained the ancient bronze lamp, he had yet to study its mysteries thoroughly. He usually only ignited the lamp during his cultivation since it could enrich the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy around him, and also brought a tranquil effect to his mind and ntal state.
Buzz, buzz...
A mysterious aura emanated from the Buddhist Sarira as a strand of dazzling brilliant golden light that was a hundred tis richer and brighter separated from it and straightly entered the energy curtain. Suddenly, a portal with the height of four n and two ters’ width appeared before them.
“Let’s go inside!” Tang Xiu gritted his teeth after exchanging looks with Ji Chii and hesitating for a while.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After the two figures entered the portal, they were imdiately struck dumb with amazent by the sight presented before them. There was no seawater in the inside, but rather a space with its edge unable to be seen. There was a blue sky and white clouds inside the vast space, along with black soil and undulated ground that extended forever into the distance. Yet, not a single plant of any type could be seen on the vast mountain, only countless tombstones and ancient burial mounds that made one feel their scalps numb.
“The tombs within our sight are at least as many as hundreds of thousands. What exactly is this place?” Tang Xiu mumbled to himself.
“Lord, this is still a space on Earth, yet this pocket world is ford and attached to the barriers of the Earth’s space,” said Ji Chii with squinted eyes. “The aura sent out from these ancient tombs feel like they’re from the distant past, as if from eons ago. Also, take a look at the characters inscribed on the tombstones, all of them are Buddhist Sanskrit. In other words, those entombed here are all Buddhist disciples.”
A Buddhist Burial Ground?
Suddenly, Tang Xiu rembered the heritage he obtained from Star City’s Walled Hill Village, as it also ntioned sothing about a Buddhist Burial Ground. The contents recorded about it were very few, narrating that there was once a Buddhist World among the myriad worlds which was also the origin of Buddhism and its core site of developnt. Furthermore, the Holy Buddhist Monk Amitabha had reached Buddhahood in the past and was once a quite famous figure in the Gods Realm. Unfortunately, Holy Monk Amitabha committed an offense to an almighty existence in the Gods Realm and was then chased down for millions of years before eventually being unable to escape from that calamity anymore. The Buddhist World was even implicated as it was also swept away along with him, as well as obliterated countless disciples of Buddhism as consequence.
Later on, a Buddhism disciple from other worlds, who found the ruined Buddhist World, eventually created a special space and carried out the construction of an unparalleled Buddhist Burial Ground. Unfortunately, this matter was then found out by that almighty existence. After tens of thousands of years of pursuit, however, that Buddhism disciple was able to escape. From thenceforth, there was no other news heard of him, as if he had evaporated from the myriad worlds.
“I never thought that that Buddhism disciple had co to Earth and even placed the special world he created here. Buddhism emphasizes on benevolence and compassion. If the Buddhism teaching were to be passed on and taught in modern society, it would have definitely brought about a very positive energy.”
Tang Xiu suddenly felt a bit fortunate that he didn’t order Ji Chii to destroy the array before. Otherwise, this pocket world would collapse and this monuntal ancient burial ground would disappear and dissipate into nothingness.
Roar...
A forlorn and bitter shriek ca from the distant horizon. Tang Xiu’s facial expression slightly changed as his eardrums were almost shattered by rely its shrill cry.
Ji Chii flung her sleeve. After having taken asures to protect Tang Xiu, she said, “There’s a life object here, Lord. Are we going there to have a look?”
Tang Xiu slightly nodded and said, “Be sure to be cautious.”
“Understood!” Ji Chii replied and then brought Tang Xiu to the distance. With her extre speed, they traversed a million kiloters of distance and passed by hundreds of millions of Buddhist tombs in two minutes. Ji Chii suddenly ca to a halt when the outline of a tall and lofty mountain appeared before them.
“Lord...”
When Tang Xiu took a look around, he saw a tall, white-headed, Golden-winged Great Peng who was actually standing and raising its head proudly.
“Moppet... there coth... two moppets of... human’s offspring? Eh, one is a moppet of... sr’s offspring? Interesting, interesting!”
The Golden-winged Great Peng slowly lowered its head. A jerky speech ca out of its mouth when it saw Tang Xiu and Ji Chii in the distance.
Tang Xiu shouted in a deep voice, “You know our origin? What thing are you?”
“What thing is ?”
The Golden-winged Great Peng lowered its head. But after a long ti, it spoke in its jerky voice again, “ is Golden Peng from the Gods Realm, not a thing. Thou actually hast his Golden Core Buddhist Sarira. Pity... pity... thou strength is too weak and pitiful; otherwise, is hopeful to leave this place and returns to the Gods Realm.”
Tang Xiu was silent for a mont before speaking again, “I know about the Golden Peng; a very powerful Divine Beast in the Gods Realm. I never thought that I, Tang Xiu, would et such a mythical Divine Beast like you. Can you tell how you got locked up here?”
The Golden Peng flung its head and humd, “It’s strange; canst bethink of it. thinks part mine mory hast been erased. Who couldst hath done it?”
Tang Xiu stared blankly and frowned before saying, “Since you can’t rember it, then forget it. But you should know everything about this Buddhist Burial Ground, yes?”
The Golden Peng’s huge eyes blinked as it suddenly said, “thinks recalls sothing. accompanied mine master to pursue Buddha. be captured and latched here... Master... Mine Lord... Dost mine Lord... doth not exist anymore? No! It canst be!!!”
After it spoke, a large drop of golden liquid gushed out from its eyes!
Tang Xiu was taken aback and dumbfounded. He didn’t expect that a Divine Beast like the Golden Peng could actually... cry??!!
This... What kind of joke is this?
For a long period of ti, Tang Xiu was at a loss between laughter and tears before saying, “Okay, okay. Let’s discuss the most important thing, shall we? If I can save you in the future, what benefits can you give ?”
The Golden Peng slightly pondered and stopped weeping, “How about help thee condense Golden Body? Howbeit the Buddha... is frail... and feeble, but thinks to... ken it...”
Tang Xiu’s eyes blinked.
A Buddhist Golden Body? What joke is this?
His cultivation technique—the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis was precisely a supre Gods and Demons’ cultivation technique to mold the body into a supre Demon Body. If he were to temper his body into a Buddhist Golden Body, how would he practice his cultivation in the future?
The Golden Peng, however, was as if able to see through Tang Xiu’s mind, as it said with a bizarre smile, “Interesting, ‘tis really interesting! The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, eh? Thou is cultivating the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis? Was ‘tis not the cultivation technique that Holy Monk Amitabha stole from mine master afore, and was chased and eventually slain? Hahaha... ‘tis is interesting!”
Tang Xiu stared blankly and asked in astonishnt, “You know so much? But, what did Holy Monk Amitabha need the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis for?”
“Thou hath no ken that Buddha and Demon be like North and South poles, thereupon cultivating it be like a round wheel?” The Golden Peng looked at Tang Xiu as if he were an idiot. “The compatibleness was what made it complete, for they were divided one another and scattered. Only Buddha that canst be compatible with Demon, and thus the Holy Monk Amitabha canst tread on the last step to reach the Supre God level. Ah, Supre God! It’s the realm of master, an existence at the apex of the Gods Realm!”
