Chapter 1588 The Descend of Ten Thousand Buddhas
"Fellow Daoist Dugu told Xiao Lin these ancient secrets. Could it be that he wanted me to add fuel to the fire?" Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Dugu Yin immediately waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "Of course not. Moreover, it is almost certain that the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin will attack the Buddhist Sect. Even if the Buddhist Sect is willing to keep things quiet, I am afraid it will not be able to do so. The reason why Dugu Yin told Fellow Daoist Xiao all this is to invite Fellow Daoist Xiao to join our exploration team and search for treasures in the [Xumeru Yin Yang Realm]."
After a pause, he continued, "The purpose of Saint Ancestor Wu Lin's refining of the Golden Buddha Demon Soul Banner must be to deal with the thousands of demon beasts in the [Small Demon Realm]. When the time comes, we can use the power of the Golden Buddha to kill the demon beasts inside, and then devour the true demon energy contained in the [Small Demon Realm] to refine a magic weapon. If it is really possible to refine a magic weapon, the Buddhist path on the Lonely Sun Continent will surely be destroyed, and even our immortal path will be in danger. It is very likely that the demon path will unify the entire Lonely Sun Continent."
Xiao Lin was also shocked when he heard this. He exiled the devil from the True Demon Realm to the void of the universe in order to get him out of the Holy Moon Continent to prevent the human race from suffering. But now it seems that he gave him an opportunity. If it is true as Dugu Yin said, and he has refined a real magic weapon, then not only the Lonely Sun Continent, but also the Holy Moon Continent will suffer a devastating disaster in the future.
"Does Daoist Fellow Dugu have any countermeasures? If he is allowed to refine a magic weapon, won't the entire spirit world suffer a catastrophe?"
"The solution may be in that [Sumeru Yin-Yang Realm]."
"Are you sure, Fellow Daoist Dugu?"
"The Sun-Slaying Immortal Sword on the [Sumeru Yin Yang Realm] is very likely an immortal weapon. Of course, this is just Dugu Yin's conjecture. However, Dugu Yin once found a book introducing many ancient secrets in an ancient relic, in which there are only a few words about the [Sumeru Yin Yang Realm]. The general content is that this [Sumeru Yin Yang Realm] was originally part of the battlefield of immortals and demons. Later, in a great war between immortals and demons, it broke away from the two realms and drifted into the void of the universe. It never thought that it would merge with the spirit world and become a small world of Xumi in the spirit world. Not only is the immortal spirit energy in it extremely abundant, but it is also very likely that there are many fragments of immortal weapons scattered around, and it is even possible that there are finished immortal weapons."
"Finished immortal weapon?" Xiao Lin was shocked. Immortal weapon is a being that is superior to ninth-order immortal treasure, and is as powerful as a fully grown innate ninth-order immortal treasure. Of course, this still refers to the lowest-order immortal weapon.
If he could get an immortal weapon, he could easily kill a Mahayana cultivator of a higher level with just the weapon.
But Xiao Lin would not immediately believe what Dugu Yin said. This was the first time he met Dugu Yin and he had no idea about his character and personality. He also didn't know whether his motives for inviting him to the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] were pure.
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "Since there may be so many treasures in this [Xumeru Yin Yang Realm], why did Daoist Dugu invite Xiao? With Daoist Dugu's status, even if he selected a few elders in the sect, it would be enough to make the trip."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yin immediately smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Brother Xiao thinks highly of my Guxian Sect. Although the Guxian Sect is nominally the number one sect in the immortal way, it is actually just a false name. There are at least two immortal sects that are as powerful as the Guxian Sect. In my Guxian Sect, there is only Dugu Yin who has reached the Mahayana realm. Although the other elders have also practiced hard, their realms are not high enough and they are not of much use."
Then he continued, "To be honest, it was because of the battle between Daoist Fellow Xiao and Huixuan of the Buddhist Sect that Dugu Yin wanted to win him over. After all, the matter is of great importance. If the Buddhist Sect gets to know about it, they will definitely strengthen the guards and prevent us from entering. In addition, the other two Daoists also have a deep hatred for the Buddhist Sect. In this way, at least there will be no problem for us to enter the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm]."
"How should we distribute the treasures we find?" Xiao Lin asked bluntly. He had participated in such treasure hunting alliances many times, but they usually ended in a fight. However, as his realm improved, Xiao Lin gradually felt that it was best to go on such treasure hunts with people he knew well. As for doing it with strangers, Xiao Lin had to think carefully about it.
"Brother Xiao, rest assured. This time, after we enter the [Xumeru Yin-Yang Realm], we will separate and act independently. Before entering, we also need to swear a vow to our inner demons that no matter what treasures the other teammates get, we must not rob them. Of course, the treasures we get from each other can be exchanged with each other on a voluntary basis."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin looked at Dugu Yin meaningfully. What he had just said made Xiao Lin feel somewhat favorable towards him. This method was no less than a way to avoid disputes.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin replied.
"Of course you can. This is the honorary elder token of our Guxian Sect. With this token, it will be much easier for Fellow Daoist Xiao to act within the hundreds of thousands of miles around Gulin City. After Fellow Daoist Xiao has thought it through, you can also convey the message through our sect's disciples." Dugu Yin took out a maroon metal token from the star ring and handed it to Xiao Lin.
"Thank you." Xiao Lin took the token without hesitation and put it into the star ring.
After the two chatted for a while, Dugu Yin stood up and said goodbye.
After Dugu Yin left, Xiao Lin began to think about whether he should go to the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] with Dugu Yin. Whether Dugu Yin would also go there just to look for treasure as he said, or whether he had other purposes.
Hearing that there might be immortal weapons in the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] was a great temptation for Xiao Lin. Immortal weapons were magical tools that should not exist in the spiritual world, and their power had surpassed almost all immortal treasures and magical tools. If the human race could possess them, then they would be invincible, and at least have the power to contend with the lower demons in the True Demon Realm.
Xiao Lin also knew that the demon was only a remnant soul now. His magic power could be restored in a very short time, and his body could be repossessed, but once the soul was damaged, it would not be repaired overnight. One of the four remnant souls had been devoured by "Lord Mu", and the remaining three, one was the current demon, and the other two, Xiao Lin knew, were possessed by Luo Yuniang. Luo Yuniang had been controlled by the demon, and was probably dead by now. The current Saint Ancestor Wu Lin might have merged the two demon souls, which meant that there was still one demon soul left and it was missing.
Over the past few years, Xiao Lin knew of more than a dozen Buddhist temples destroyed by Saint Ancestor Wu Lin, some of which were among the top 100. Therefore, it can be inferred that the souls of Buddhist monks captured in his Demonic Soul Banner may be in the hundreds of thousands.
He has been silent for these years, obviously he was refining his Golden Buddha Demon Soul Banner.
Xiao Lin originally thought that he sacrificed the Alchemy Buddha Demon Soul Banner in order to deal with the Great Bodhi Temple. Now, after Dugu Yin's explanation, he finally understood that the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin sacrificed the Alchemy Buddha Demon Soul Banner in order to enter the Small Demon Realm.
The original giants of the Demonic Path did not deal with this Saint Ancestor Wu Lin who suddenly appeared. It is very likely that they have reached some kind of agreement with him. Now it seems that Saint Ancestor Wu Lin has cleared out the millions of monsters in the Small Demon World and thus got the opportunity to enter the Small Demon World.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin suddenly became enlightened. For cultivators of the magic path, especially those who have cultivated to the level of Saint Ancestor, it is very difficult to reach a higher level simply by relying on the resources of the spiritual world. There are really not many who can achieve the perfect fusion of the soul and the rules throughout history.
Several demon giants in the Lonely Sun Continent obviously want to enter the small demon world and absorb the true demon energy to cultivate their physical bodies in the hope of becoming a half-demon body and then impact the final level.
What's more, Saint Ancestor Wu Lin was going to destroy the Buddhist sect anyway, so for them, it would be a hundred benefits with no harm at all.
There was another point that Xiao Lin was extremely worried about, that was that although the demon's soul was incomplete, which greatly reduced his magical powers, what he was most worried about was that once he recovered, all the powerful cultivators in the spiritual world would not be his match, because the demon in the real demon world had comprehended not the power of rules, but the power of laws that were above the rules.
This is also what he comprehended from the few words he got from some ancient books. Above the rules are the laws, and the laws are also the spiritual realm of the True Immortals, which the cultivators in the spiritual world cannot comprehend at all.
Once the Black Scale Saint Ancestor is able to exert the power of the laws, I am afraid no one will be able to stop him.
With his current state, even if he tried his best, he would never be his opponent. Xiao Lin couldn't help but think of the Buddhist sect. With the foundation and profound strength of the Great Bodhi Temple, perhaps they could deal with this demon.
But if that demon were allowed to enter the small demon world and absorb enough real demonic energy, the Buddhist sect might really face a catastrophe.
Although Xiao Lin had no good feelings towards the Buddhist sect, he also felt some pity for those monks.
And to be honest, all of this was caused by him, the initiator.
Xiao Lin asked himself if he had the ability to stop the devil from entering the small demon world, but suddenly he had an idea, but this idea seemed a little risky?
Xiao Lin pondered for a while, and a determined expression gradually appeared on his face. After a moment, he collected his thoughts and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
The Demon Soul Sect occupies an area of land and is the fourth-ranked sect in the demon world.
It is located in the Demon Bone Domain. To the north of the Demon Bone Domain is the lawless Dry Bone Domain. This Dry Bone Domain is desolate, and the few cities there are all mixed with good and bad people. There are all kinds of forbidden items for sale here, many of which are even strictly prohibited by the demon sects, such as the Demon Chain, Thousand Demon Blood, etc. The Demon Chain is not a holy chain weapon refined by the demons, but a kind of refining material formed by putting the tendons of the demon monks' whole body into a special potion and brewing it for sixty years.
The Thousand Demon Blood is more intuitive. It is the fusion of the essence and blood of one thousand demon monks who have practiced demonic techniques. It is also the best material for refining holy weapons.
Each of these materials requires the lives of countless demonic monks, so even in the areas controlled by the demons, their sale is strictly prohibited. Once caught, the cultivator will suffer inhuman torture and die in agony while wailing and screaming.
It can still be bought on some black markets in the Bone Domain, but the price is ridiculously high.
The reason why the Dry Bone Domain is named after it is that it has always been a battlefield where Buddhism and the devil confront each other. In the wilderness, white dry bones can be seen everywhere, scattered around. Moreover, the Dry Bone Domain is also filled with a large number of evil people. These people usually hang around in these cities, forming gangs and factions, but in fact they are doing a no-cost business. No matter whether it is Buddhism or the devil, as long as they are targeted by these people, it is basically difficult to escape.
The looted items were then sold on the black markets in these cities.
In this situation, neither the Buddhist sect nor the demonic sect had the energy to clean up the situation. Instead, they simply restricted their disciples from going to the Dry Bone Domain easily.
The Dry Bone City is the largest city in the Dry Bone Domain. Some of its dilapidated city walls are actually made of bones. Especially on the outer walls, you can see densely packed snow-white skulls, which make people's scalp tingle at a glance.
At the city gate, people were coming and going. This horrifying scene did not affect the prosperity of the first city in the Dry Bone Domain at all. The cultivators coming in and out were of all kinds, including disciples of the Buddhist sect, disciples of the Demonic Sect, and many cultivators dressed in strange costumes.
One hundred thousand miles south of the Dry Bone City is the Demon Bone Domain, and the Thousand Grave Mountains in the Demon Bone Domain is the mountain gate of the Demon Soul Sect. It is rumored that in the ancient times, when the magic path was not yet prosperous, there were countless graves in this Thousand Grave Mountains. The words on the tombstones have long been unclear, but in this Thousand Grave Mountains, to this day, there are still some souls full of vitality wandering around. After countless years of evolution, they have gradually formed countless vengeful spirits.
These vengeful spirits are not the original spirits of the cultivators, but some broken souls. For the cultivators of the Demon Soul Sect, they are of no great use except for training and improving their experience in fighting the enemies. However, they have become a natural barrier for the Demon Soul Sect. At least in the surrounding mortal countries, big and small, no mortal dares to approach the Thousand Grave Mountains.
On this day, the City of Dry Bones was just like usual, with a sense of tranquility beneath the gloom.
Suddenly, golden rays of light shot out from the haze in the sky. Soon the haze was completely dispersed by the golden light, and the huge shape of the Skeleton City was completely revealed.
All the monks in the Bone City showed surprised looks and looked up. When they saw the scene in the void, they all showed horrified expressions. It was then that they were surprised to find that there was not a single Buddhist monk around them. It was not until this moment that they completely understood.
"Buddhism has invaded."
Above the void, the sky was filled with golden light that covered an area of ten thousand miles, shrouding the entire Dry Bone City. In the center of the golden light, there was a hundred-foot-tall golden Buddha sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus. His eyes were emitting two golden rays of light, and he was gazing down with a bit of pity.
"The City of Dry Bones is a place of filth and debauchery. It should not exist in the world. Today, let this Buddha clean it up, shall we?"
The resonant voice fell from the void and was clearly heard by every cultivator in the Dry Bone City.
"Respect the Buddha Qinghuan's command." The densely packed figures of Buddhist practitioners revealed themselves one after another around the hundred-foot golden body. There were more than ten thousand Buddhist disciples, almost covering the sky.
