Heavenly Prodigy Assembly (1)
The Western Continent, the territory of Lanke Temple, Boundless Desert.
Amidst the rolling sandstorms, a red sun hangs high in the sky, and from time to time, one can see green dots scattered across the land—these are the few oases in this boundless desert, a paradise for Human Race.
A light blue Flying Boat sped towards them from afar. Yang Tianyou stood at the bow, surveying the landscape before him, so different from that of the Eastern Continent.
Behind him stood Yang Household Members, who were also observing the surroundings with great curiosity.
The Northern River Region is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, with Qingshan everywhere, making it a rare sight to see such a desolate scene of sandstorms.
"The earth and Metal-Attribute Spiritual Qi here is much richer than in other regions," Yang Xuanwu said softly. He cultivated the Four Symbols Saint Body, which made him extremely sensitive to Spiritual Qi, so he noticed the difference as soon as he set foot on this continent.
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly and smiled, "The Five Elements of the Lu Wu Realm are generally balanced, but there is always a focus."
The Western Continent Earth is rich in earth and Metal-Attribute Spiritual Qi.
The Southern Sea Water and Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi.
The Frostthunder Region Thunder is rich in Spiritual Qi of lightning, ice, and wind attributes.
The Chaotic Sea and the Eastern Sea are rich in Water Attribute Spiritual Qi.
Only in our Eastern Continent Five Elements basically balanced, and all kinds of resources are extremely abundant. It is precisely for this reason that it is recognized as the most fertile land in the Lu Wu Realm.
"Our Eastern Continent is indeed blessed with exceptional natural advantages and outstanding people!" Yang Xuanwu nodded. This was not self-praise, but a fact Cultivation World Lu Wu Realm.
The Flying Boat moved forward, and before long, a magnificent Realm Gate a thousand feet high appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was like a greedy, Taotie Giant Beast, swallowing up the boundless Spiritual Qi surging in from all directions. The rolling sand and dust were swallowed up by it, like a mud ox entering the sea, unable to make the slightest ripple.
Outside the Realm Gate, crowds thronged, and Flying Boats and streaks of Escape Light sped in from afar, demonstrating the immense influence of the Heavenly Prodigy Tournament.
"Flying Boat ahead, halt. Entry is permitted only after inspection by the Alliance." A group of monk soldiers blocked the Yang Household Member's path. They were all shirtless, with bronze skin. They were not particularly imposing, but their muscles appeared to be woven from steel wires, giving them an extremely powerful appearance.
Furthermore, these Arhat Monks faintly emanate the sounds of Buddhist chants, their powerful and majestic will captivating the soul.
"Is this the Dharma Protector Arhat of the Buddhist Sect?" Yang Tianyou pondered inwardly, but smiled and said, "Please examine me, Master!"
The leader of the monk soldiers bowed with his hands clasped, "Thank you for your understanding, Alliance Leader Yang!"
After speaking, he flipped his right hand and took out an irregularly shaped golden stone with densely packed golden Sanskrit characters flowing across its surface, which was quite strange.
"Śarīra?" Yang Tianyou murmured to himself, recognizing the treasure in the monk's hand.
The Buddhist Sect cultivation system differs somewhat from that of the Daoist Sect. For example, in the Golden Core Realm, Daoist Sect cultivators condense a perfectly formed and transparent Golden Core, while Buddhist Sect refine a Śarīra.
Unlike Daoist Sect cultivators who pass away peacefully and return their entire cultivation to the world, this is different.
After a Buddhist Sect monk passes away, his Śarīra remain, becoming an extremely precious treasure.
Therefore, the Buddhist Sect community possesses an incredibly profound and mysterious heritage; no one knows how many relics of eminent monks from previous generations are stored in these temples.
You might think you have victory in the bag, but then someone suddenly pulls out a bunch of Sage Manifestation Śarīra and crushes you to death.
This is not a joke, but a fact that actually happened.
As Yang Tianyou's thoughts raced, the relic in the hands of the monk soldier leader emitted a great Buddhist light, and a golden eye slowly opened, its pupils filled with peace and compassion.
Brush!!
His gaze swept across the Flying Boat, examining it inch by inch. Before long, the golden light faded, and the relic became unremarkable, lying back in the palm of the monk-soldier leader.
Carefully placing the relic inside, the leader of the monks stepped aside, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head. "Please come in!"
Yang Tianyou nodded and steered his Flying Boat straight into the magnificent Realm Gate before him.
The area of the large World Interstice is extremely vast, equivalent to more than half a state, and the amount of resources it contains is also extremely abundant, far exceeding that of ordinary Profound Grade Secret Realms.
As the Flying Boat passed through the Realm Gate, the first thing that came into view was a group of giants hundreds of feet tall.
These are all powerful members of the Giant Spirit Tribe. After being converted by Venerable Dikong, they became the most devout Buddhist Sect believers and Dharma Protector Vajra.
Yang Tianyou looked at them, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. The methods of the Buddhist Sect were even more bizarre than those of the Demon Dao; how was this any different from the Demon Dao's forceful Soul Seizure- devouring?
No wonder some say that Buddha and demon are one and the same; one can become a Buddha or a demon in a single thought.
Passing through a long corridor composed of Dharma Protector Vajra, a magnificent golden city comes into view.
Each brick in the city seems to be cast in gold, radiating golden light. Complex and mysterious Sanskrit characters form Chains that connect these bricks, creating a Heavenly Pass Fortress that stretches thousands of miles from east to west and is eight hundred feet high.
This isn't a city; it's clearly a mountain.
In fact, it is indeed a mountain, which was Venerable Dikong of Lanke Temple and a group of eminent Buddhist Sect monks by moving and piling up many large mountains.
After being repeatedly baptized by the Buddha's light, every inch of it became as hard as Black Iron. Such Heavenly Pass could not be shaken even in the slightest by a cultivator in the Early Sage Manifestation.
Of the five Large Realm Gates of the Lu Wu Realm, only the Realm Gate under the True Martial Sacred Land belongs entirely to the Lu Wu Realm.
Of the other four, only the Lanke Temple allows access to the World Interstice to construct defenses.
The other three were all defensive structures built outside the Realm Gate.
It's not that the Lanke Temple was stronger, but rather that these monks were lucky; the Realm Gate just happened to appear right under their noses, allowing them to build a defensive line in advance. In addition, Buddhist Sect excels in defense, and they have been able to hold out until now.
But that's all. Eighty percent of the World Interstice are occupied by the Nine Phoenix Realm, and only the remaining twenty percent belong to the Buddhist Sect.
The Heavenly Prodigy Assembly was held in the empty space between the two city gates.
Not long after the Yang Household arrived, the people from the Qiongqi Realm also arrived.
Because the Divine Martial Prince's cultivation level was one level higher, he was unable to enter the Realm Gate, which greatly relieved the many geniuses of the Qiongqi Realm.
They received no shortage of scolding along the way; these geniuses had never suffered such treatment within their own faction.
"Are they the geniuses of the Qiongqi Realm? Why are they so downcast?" A Lu Wu Realm cultivator watching asked, puzzled.
One cultivator said gloatingly, "You don't know yet, do you? It's said that these people tried to harm the living beings of my realm as soon as they left the Realm Gate, but they were given a warning by the Divine Martial Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire."
"I've been through so much trouble along the way, it would be a miracle if I was in good spirits."
The cultivators of the Lu Wu Realm were discussing it animatedly, making no attempt to conceal their opinions.
Although the two sides cooperated to fight against the Nine Phoenix Realm, it was clear that the Lu Wu Realm was the big brother and would not tolerate the people of the Qiongqi Realm.
Hearing the words coming from beside them, the geniuses of the Qiongqi Realm glared angrily, some of the hot-tempered ones even wanting to make a move, but were pulled back by their quick-witted companions.
To start a fight within the city gates before the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly has even begun is practically suicide.
Yan Wugou walked at the front of the group, but ignored all the nonsense and instead patiently observed the magnificent city gate in front of him, with a hint of envy flashing in his eyes from time to time.
The six Large Realm Gates of the Qiongqi Realm are so weak that they can't even seal off the Realm Gates, let alone build defenses inside the World Interstice. Large areas of their territory have been occupied, and as time goes by, the chances of a counterattack are becoming increasingly slim.
"Sigh, how could Interface War suddenly break out?" Yan Wugou understand it. He was living a good life, and suddenly he had two troublesome neighbors. No one would feel good about that.
Yang Xuanwu stood on the pavilion of his own residence, his eyes fixed on the cultivators in exquisite martial robes in the Qiongqi Realm's group.
"Martial Dao..." Many thoughts arose in his mind.
