Thousand Buddha Kingdom, The Ruins of Yichan Temple.
Cough, cough, cough!…
Xu Taiping climbed out of a disused well, gasping for breath.
Because the insect lair on the Star-Picking Platform was precisely connected to the bottom of this deep well in Yichan Temple. Caught off guard, Xu Taiping choked on several mouthfuls of water.
Inside the insect lair, it seems that all magic techniques have failed.
Xu Taiping wiped his mouth and said to Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
That’s right.
Fairy Lingyue replied.
Will that Shangjiu not chase after us?
Xu Taiping found a stone and sat down. While circulating his cultivation to regulate his breath, he confirmed with Fairy Lingyue.
Until now, that terrifying saber technique of Shangjiu still made his heart palpitate with lingering fear.
He may not know the method to open the insect lair, and even if he does, the opening time of the same insect lair must be at least six hours apart.
Fairy Lingyue wasn’t worried about this.
Six hours, that’s about right.
Xu Taiping nodded.
Then he took out the map of the Yellow Sparrow and confirmed the distance between the Yichan Temple and the Tianyin Hall on the Wolf Howling Ridge.
”Sixty li?”
After roughly calculating the distance between the two, Xu Taiping’s heart rejoiced.
According to the estimation of the position on the map, the distance between the Star-Picking Platform and the Wolf Howling Ridge was originally at least six thousand li, and it would take a cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm three days to ride a sword.
”Sister Lingyue, let’s set off.”
Xu Taiping stuffed a Qi-Gathering Pill into his mouth and immediately stood up.
Thinking of the scene he saw when his spirit traveled beyond the sky, his eyes became a little urgent.
If the scene he saw at that time was true, then Senior Qingxiao’s friend Chen Hao might not be able to hold on for long.
”Taiping, did you see something when you broke through to the Tongxuan Realm?”
Fairy Lingyue immediately guessed the reason why Xu Taiping was so urgent.
So Xu Taiping used the Instantaneous Teleportation to quickly travel on the snowfield while briefly telling Fairy Lingyue about the few scenes he saw when his spirit traveled beyond the sky.
”You have never been out of the Shangqing Realm. Why can you see the Immortal and Demon Battlefield in the Sumeru Realm? And that red cave is clearly the Nine Nether Demon Cave. How could a small cultivator like you in the Tongxuan Realm see such a thing.”
Inside the gourd, Fairy Lingyue, who was lost in thought muttered to herself.
“Sister Lingyue, you also think that these are not illusions. Then what happened in the Tianyin Palace must not be an illusion either.”
Xu Taiping didn’t want to delve into the reason. He just wanted to save people now.
“Well, if the situation we see later is the same as what you saw when your spirit wandered outside the sky, then we have to take the other two visions you saw seriously.
Fairy Lingyue agreed.
“By the way, when I saw you come out, your eyes were covered all the time. Was there something wrong with your breakthrough?”
Fairy Lingyue finally asked a question that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.
So Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue about the battle between the Yin God and the Outer Domain Heavenly Demon, and then the Yin God gave him a pair of heavy pupils.
“It’s a pity.”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Fairy Lingyue had a look of regret on her face.
“Why is it a pity?”
Xu Taiping was a little was puzzled.
“If it were in ancient times, just with this eye, you could be regarded as a demigod. But now, the ancient gods only have some divine power imprints remaining in this wild land. Once you leave the wild land, I’m afraid this pair of heavy pupils will only have a little spiritual energy left.”
Fairy Lingyue explained.
Actually, there is a biggest reason why she felt it was a pity, and she hasn’t told Xu Taiping yet, that is, after reaching a certain realm, this kind of sacred thing is needed to break through.
Many monks just stopped advancing because of this.
Once I open this eye, the Soul Weeping Syndrome will flare up. I’m afraid I won’t be able to use it even in this wild land.
Xu Taiping said with a bitter smile.
He didn’t feel too regretful. He was already very satisfied to be able to successfully break through to the Tongxuan Realm.
“The next time you open your eyes, put the Dragon Gallstone entirely in your mouth, and it will reduce the pain brought by this symptom.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart rejoiced.
If the ability of this double pupil could be unleashed, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.
However, Fairy Lingyue’s next sentence made him fall into a dilemma——
“The Dragon Gallstone consumed by one use is equivalent to thirty flasks of Dragon Gall Wine.”
You know, when he was in the Wangyou Realm, he didn’t consume much Dragon Gall Wine in a year.
After the two talked for a while about the issues that needed to be paid attention to when stabilizing the realm after breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Fairy Lingyue with a somewhat solemn tone:
“Sister Lingyue, if my senior brother has really been planted with a Bodhi Fruit, is there any way to resolve it?”
Because Fairy Lingyue had said before that once the Bodhi Seed was planted, it was very difficult to pull it out, so he hadn’t dared to ask this question.
“It will take him three months to hold on, but as far as I know, the Bodhi Seed not only devours the essence blood and true qi of a cultivator, but also devours the divine soul. So even if he survives three months, it’s hard to say whether your second senior brother is still Du Gu Qingxiao or not.”
Fairy Lingyue sighed and said.
According to the records in the wild ancient books she had read, when the Thousand Buddha Kingdom still existed the Bodhi Seed was a kind of highly toxic substance, and it needed the abbot Zen master with profound Buddhist teachings to resolve it personally.
Now that the Thousand Buddha Kingdom has become a ruin, where can one find those Zen masters?
“Is there really no way at all?”
Xu Taiping asked somewhat unwillingly.
“Is it true that as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, you really want to save your senior brother?”
Fairy Lingyue hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
“Yes.”
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
“Even if it means falling into a life-and-death danger, you will not hesitate?”
Fairy Lingyue asked again.
“Of course.”
Xu Taiping nodded again without hesitation.
If it were Sparrow that needed to be saved, he might still consider it, but if it is the second senior brother, he doesn’t need to consider it at all.
In Qingxuan, the second senior brother and Senior Sister Linglong are like family members to him.
“Besides all beings being equal, there is a remaining precept in the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, called Du E Xiu Luo.”
Fairy Lingyue replied.
“What is Du E Xiu Luo?”
While continuing to run at full speed, Xu Taiping asked in his heart.
“In order for the people of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom to be able to act justly, the ancient Buddha Kasyapa of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom made a great vow that as long as one could bear all the malice for others, one could make a vow to him.”
The Fairy Lingyue explained.
