“Yuan Yi Ancient Buddha also came to the Dark Abyss?” Xiao Hei exclaimed.
Zhang Ruochen, Panruo, Xiao Hei, and the awakened seawater hurried along the direction where the soul fragments surged from the Buddha marrow.
On the way, Xiao Hei asked about the seawater’s identity. Upon learning she was a disciple of Yuan Yi Ancient Buddha, it showed surprise.
Xiao Hei added, “If Yuan Yi Ancient Buddha came to the Dark Abyss, he would definitely come here. Perhaps he would take away Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s body. I wonder if he has arrived.”
“Even if he came to the Dark Abyss, he might not dare to enter the Ancient Abandoned City.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiao Hei snorted, “There is nothing in the world that a Divine Venerable level powerhouse dares not do.”
…
The golden stream grew wider and wider, the Buddha liquid roaring like a river.
Xiao Hei let out sighs from time to time.
According to it, these Buddha liquids were Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s blood. Even after being eroded by dark forces for eight hundred thousand years, they still contained a large amount of Divine Venerable substances. The divinity was powerful, the blood qi thick, far beyond what ordinary divine spirits’ divine blood could compare.
“It’s a pity we can’t use space treasures, otherwise collecting some Buddha liquid and taking it out would surely make a huge profit.” Xiao Hei was extremely regretful and disappointed.
“Guya!”
In the distant place, a strange cry sounded.
The golden Buddha mist on the stream shook slightly accordingly.
Hearing this cry, Panruo and Xiao Hei both changed their expressions, turning back to look at the same time.
Zhang Ruochen said, “What’s wrong?”
“Did you hear that cry just now?” Panruo said.
Zhang Ruochen nodded.
“That’s the cry of the ghost-type weird beast I told you about.” She said.
Zhang Ruochen’s expression could not help but change, saying, “It couldn’t have sensed our aura, could it?”
“Go!”
Panruo released divine qi, enveloping Zhang Ruochen and the seawater, bursting out at the fastest speed and rushing out.
The cries from behind sounded from time to time, making one’s hair stand on end.
After rushing about nearly ten thousand li, the cries completely disappeared. Panruo’s speed slowed down, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Too terrifying. That ghost thing, ordinary true gods can’t confront it at all.” Xiao Hei said with lingering fear.
“Look ahead.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Ahead, the golden Buddha mist was denser, able to block the view.
Panruo in front, Xiao Hei behind, they proceeded carefully, passing through dozens of li of dense Buddha mist. Suddenly, the view ahead became boundlessly open.
When walking along the golden stream, the space was always narrow, but here, the golden Buddha walls disappeared, and the golden stream turned into a gaseous state.
Ahead was an endless golden cloud sea, the sky pitch black, with a bright golden edge at the horizon.
“This couldn’t be Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s divine sea, could it?” Xiao Hei swallowed, stepping into the cloud sea.
Zhang Ruochen stopped it, saying, “Don’t rush. The space structure here is somewhat strange.”
Zhang Ruochen condensed a sword qi in his palm and struck it out.
The sword qi flew about ten or more li away. Suddenly, the golden mist dispersed, a black space crack dozens of zhang wide appeared, swallowing the sword qi.
“Why is there a space crack here?” The seawater said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If Xiao Hei’s guess is true, this is Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s divine sea. Then, it’s very possible that Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s divine sea has been shattered. Space cracks could be everywhere here. Moreover, space cracks that even a Divine Venerable’s divine sea can’t heal would swallow us easily.”
“Be careful. I’ll lead the way.”
Zhang Ruochen released the Ten Thousand Ancient Return One Domain, using the power of Wuji Saint Will and the Heart of Truth to sense carefully. Stepping on the cloud mist, he proceeded neither slowly nor hurriedly.
They walked about two hundred li. At the edge of the Buddha light cloud sea, a figure with dense ghost qi appeared.
On his long robe hung numerous skull heads.
From the cuffs and under the robe, long white fur was exposed.
He let out a sinister laugh, then disappeared into the golden Buddha mist again.
…
Not knowing how long they walked, Zhang Ruochen looked around. All sides were endless cloud sea.
In his mind, a vast and aged voice sounded, “You have finally come. I have waited for you many years. Have you seen the Three Lives Gate?”
“You have finally come. I have waited for you many years…”
…
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes showed surprise and doubt, looking back at Xiao Hei, then at Panruo and the seawater.
“What are you looking at? What’s with that look?” Xiao Hei stepped back.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Did you hear any voice?”
“What voice? It couldn’t be that ghost-type weird beast chasing up again, could it?” Xiao Hei quickly sacrificed the Three Walls Twenty-Eight Constellations Great Array. Three supreme saint artifacts and twenty-eight king saint artifacts flew around everyone.
“It’s not the ghost-type weird beast. It’s a strange voice.”
Zhang Ruochen said puzzled, “He said he waited for me many years.”
“Male or female?” The seawater asked.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head, saying, “Hard to judge. Should be an elder’s voice. Moreover, he also said something about finding the Three Lives Gate.”
The seawater said, “The Three Lives Gate, in Buddhism, represents birth derivation, creation, vitality. It is the meaning of all things toward life in the world. But I think here it refers to Yun Qing Ancestor’s rule divine artifact.”
“In legend, Yun Qing Ancestor cultivated the rule divine artifact in his divine source, which is the Three Lives Gate.”
“The voice you heard just now should be Yun Qing Ancestor calling you.”
The rule divine artifact is not a real divine artifact, similar to a saint’s “rule saint artifact”, a great saint’s “rule emperor artifact”. It is a manifestation of the rule form in a cultivator’s body.
Xiao Hei glanced at Panruo, smiled, “Look at the little nun seawater. She is the real Buddhist cultivator, knowing everything about Buddhism.”
Panruo ignored it.
“Where is this Three Lives Gate?”
Zhang Ruochen had just thought this when at the horizon, a dazzling light slowly rose, like the sun rising in the east.
In an instant, the entire cloud sea shone brighter in golden light, magnificent and vast.
Even in some places, scenes of grand temples and Buddha pagodas appeared, with spiritual mountains undulating, waterfalls flowing.
All were illusions.
Even if they once truly existed in Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s divine realm world, they had long been destroyed with the ancient Buddha’s fall.
“That must be Yun Qing Ancient Buddha’s divine source, the location of the Three Lives Gate.” Panruo pointed to the distant sunrise.
The seawater shook her head, saying, “No. The ancestor’s divine source no longer exists, otherwise the light of a Divine Venerable divine source would be enough to kill us all. But the Three Lives Gate should indeed be there.”
Panruo’s gaze was cold, staring at her.
The seawater ignored her, looked at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Brother Ruochen, since Yun Qing Ancestor’s voice only appeared in your mind, only you can reach the Three Lives Gate.”
“What kind of logic is this? This emperor can’t go?” Xiao Hei was quite interested in the Divine Venerable’s rule divine artifact.
The seawater said, “This is a Divine Venerable’s divine sea. Even true gods should restrain themselves a bit.”
“What do you mean, little nun? When the Divine Venerable was alive, this emperor might be wary, but he has been dead for so long. Still afraid of what?” Xiao Hei put hands on hips, arguing with the seawater.
“Roar!”
A deafening divine sound rang out, the Buddha sea cloud sea shaking accordingly.
Xiao Hei was startled, thinking it had angered the Divine Venerable.
Panruo and Zhang Ruochen’s gazes looked toward the direction behind. Only to see a grey hazy death qi divine mist swallowing the Buddha light cloud sea, rapidly spreading toward them.
Gui Si’s towering divine body, like a ten-thousand-zhang mountain, walked out from the death qi divine mist, striding toward them.
“Zhang Ruochen, you must die. Yun Qing bald donkey’s Three Lives Gate, this seat wants it too!”
In Gui Si’s four arms, each held a war weapon, thunder and lightning shuttling all over, divine might extremely strong. The space cracks in the Buddha light cloud sea appeared one after another, trembling.
With upper-level god cultivation, obviously not fearing a dead Divine Venerable at all.
“How did he catch up so quickly? Feng Chen Sword God couldn’t have been beaten to death by him, could he?” Zhang Ruochen said.
With each step Gui Si took, Zhang Ruochen, Xiao Hei, Panruo, seawater’s bodies would shake, blood qi surging inside, internal organs as if heavily struck.
Kongli Zanghai followed behind Gui Si, face with an evil smile, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, still have to thank you all for leading us here. Haha! A Divine Venerable’s rule divine artifact has infinite benefits for true gods.”
“Seeing his cat head, this emperor wants to chop it off.” Xiao Hei snorted coldly.
Kongli Zanghai had two heads, one human head, one cat head.
In Panruo’s hand, the Staff of Destiny Judgment emerged with dark and light two forces, dividing heaven and earth into black and white. She said, “Zhang Ruochen, you go to the Three Lives Gate first. Leave this to me and Xiao Hei.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the seawater’s wrist, fourteen golden wings unfolded on his back, rushing out rapidly.
“Zhang Ruochen, where are you going.”
Kongli Zanghai chased up, but dared not chase too close, executing death mental force, directly attacking Zhang Ruochen’s saint soul.
“Ding ding dang dang!”
Twelve Soul-Devouring Bells flew out, flying around Zhang Ruochen and the seawater.
Although Kongli Zanghai was an old generation divine spirit, nearly ten thousand years old, his mental power was not very strong, only seventy-first tier, only slightly stronger than Zhang Ruochen.
“Whoosh!”
Separated by thousands of meters, white hair on Kongli Zanghai’s head flew out, turning into over a thousand whips, each up to thirty thousand meters long.
True god hair, with rule divine patterns flowing, containing divine fire.
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Chizi Sword, constantly swinging the sword to slash out.
But true god hair had divine qi and rule divine patterns protecting, extremely flexible. Supreme saint artifacts were hard to cut.
Seeing he was about to be netted by the hairs, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes sank. Fortunately, he stopped, charging back toward Kongli Zanghai.
Kongli Zanghai sneered coldly, knowing Zhang Ruochen had extraordinary Buddhist texts on him, naturally not letting him close. From his mouth, a gust of vigor blew out, turning into an extremely fierce hurricane.
Zhang Ruochen used mental power to activate the Moyang Divine Talisman.
“Sizzle!”
On the divine talisman, divine-level rune Dao inscriptions emerged one by one, then erupted with extremely scorching temperature, turning into a black sun, facing the hurricane, colliding toward Kongli Zanghai.
One by one white true god hairs were ignited by the divine talisman’s power.
Kongli Zanghai felt the divine talisman’s powerful force coming at him, skin burning in pain, hair burning. He quickly flew backward, not daring to take it head-on. He was not in peak state now, injuries heavy inside, ten percent combat power probably only two or three percent playable.
