Treasure Vase Island.
On Teleportation Array, a soft milky white light flashed faintly. After the halo dissipated, a group of figures quietly appeared on the originally empty formation.
Jiang Tian felt the thick touch under his feet and slowly took a breath of fresh, slightly salty air.
The feeling of being in the teleportation channel just now was like sitting on a small boat sailing in the stormy waves. The continuous bumps and bumps made people feel a little dizzy.
"Treasure Vase Island... We're finally here." He murmured in a low voice and then glanced around.
What he saw was quite different from what he had expected.
Not far away, there are row upon row of exquisite attics, with carved beams and painted buildings, and cornices and brackets. It is more like a prosperous secular city than a pure Buddhist place.
He originally thought that this place would be a scene filled with Sanskrit music and numerous temples.
Among the crowd, you could occasionally see a few bright bald heads, but they were only a few here and there, not as full of monks as he imagined.
Perhaps this has something to do with his current location.
"Here, where should I go to find my brother's family?" Jiang Tian frowned slightly, feeling a little confused in his heart.
To be honest, he still hasn't figured it out until now. Why was his brother's family of three, who were just ordinary mortals, taken to such a distant place by the monk?
And why couldn't they just go back home and reunite?
However, thinking about these questions now, they no longer make any sense.
The top priority is to find them first.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Jiang Tian moved and walked towards a tea house not far away that looked quite lively.
However, the moment he stepped into the street, an extremely strange feeling quietly brushed over his Divine Sense like a wave of water.
It's very subtle. If his Divine Sense were not much more powerful than monks of the same level, it would be impossible to detect it.
But the feeling was vague and fleeting, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Jiang Tian shook his head slightly, temporarily putting this doubt behind his mind.
Naturally, he went to the teahouse not to drink tea, but to collect information first.
Pure World Mountain.
Deep in a deep and quiet meditation hall, a light and ethereal voice sounded slowly, as if it was not spoken by one person, but hundreds of people speaking in unison at the same time.
"There's an interesting little guy here."
There was a hint of playfulness, a hint of curiosity, and a hint of indescribable... expectation in this voice.
The teahouse was buzzing with people.
Three Sects Nine-level monks, merchants, and idle men were gathering together in small groups, chatting about their experiences.
Many news are exaggerated and exaggerated at first glance, but it is undeniable that if you want to quickly understand the customs and recent events of a place, this kind of place is perfect and always somewhat useful.
Jiang Tian found a slightly secluded corner and sat down, pricking up his ears. Divine Sense spread out like mercury, absorbing all the noisy conversations around him.
"Have you heard? Something big happened over there at Heavenly Cloud Archipelago! Purple Cloud Alliance and Jade Water Alliance, these two major forces, were uprooted by one person!"
"What?! Those are two overlord-level forces that have lasted for tens of thousands of years! How could they be overthrown by one person? Could it be that Golden Core True Lord took action? But this True Lord is not afraid of angering the behemoth behind these two forces, Profound Luo Sect?"
"Tsk! That's where the blame lies! It wasn't Golden Core True Lord who did it! I heard people say that it seems that it was just a Purple Mansion monk who did it!"
"Ah?! Purple Mansion monk? Are you kidding? Don't these two major forces have False Core ancestors sitting in charge? How could they be made like this by a Purple Mansion monk?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's some unborn monster..."
"I just don't know, compared with the strength of this Purple Mansion monk and Pure Heaven World-Venerable from Pure World Mountain, who is stronger and who is weaker?"
"It's hard to say, I've seen that Pure Heaven World-Venerable once from a distance, and the weather..."
"..."
Jiang Tian was sipping the poor tea in the cup calmly while filtering this information quickly.
Although most of them were rumors about his stirring up troubles in Heavenly Cloud Archipelago, he still extracted some information that was extremely useful to him.
At the same time, he also roughly understood the power distribution of Treasure Vase Island.
On this Treasure Vase Island, there are now two major forces.
The first is Pure World Mountain, headed by Pure Heaven World-Venerable and his eight Arhats. It is said that each Arhat has the terrifying strength of the top Purple Mansion Perfection.
The other force is Thunderclap Temple, which is also guarded by several top-level eminent monks Purple Mansion Perfection.
And these Pure World Mountain and Thunderclap Temple actually belonged to the same sect, Mount Sumeru, a long time ago.
In the heyday of Mount Sumeru, there were two Golden Core True Lords who were in charge, and they were very popular and powerful.
But after one of them, True Lord, exhausted his lifespan and passed away, the other True Lord declared that he would go into seclusion to meditate on the supreme Buddha Dharma, and would no longer be involved in any affairs in the mountain.
This also resulted in Mount Sumeru being leaderless.
Due to the different concepts of Buddhism, the conflicts between the two factions gradually intensified, and in the end it almost turned into a tragedy of fratricide.
In the end, it was Golden Core True Lord who was in retreat to meditate on Buddhism, who came forward and managed to resolve the situation.
But because that True Lord has a very Buddhist temperament, he doesn't care about anything and is really too lazy to take care of things, so it is called mediation, but in fact it is laissez-faire.
As a result, this huge Mount Sumeru was divided into two, existing in name only.
One group moved north and founded Thunderclap Temple, while the other group moved south and founded Pure World Mountain.
The place where he is now belongs to Pure World Mountain.
Although the two factions have different ideals, after they separated, it can be said that they have kept their peace and have not fought again because of old grudges.
But just a few days ago, a shocking news came out.
Golden Core True Lord, who has been in seclusion and enlightenment for many years in Mount Sumeru, said that he... enlightened.
Moreover, he declared that he would select one of the strongest men in the two temples of the time, Pure World Mountain and Thunderclap Temple, to pass on his mantle and the supreme method he had learned.
Among them, he included [Treasure Vase True Self Aspect], which he was looking for so hard!
"Crack!" Jiang Tian's eyes suddenly flickered, and his heart beat several times unsatisfactorily.
It's really hard to find anything without trying to find it, and it takes no effort at all to get there!
Unexpectedly, he originally planned to come here to inquire about the whereabouts of his brother's family, but he accidentally learned the exact information about [Treasure Vase True Self Aspect] here.
It's just that... that Golden Core True Lord made it clear that the inheritance will only be chosen among the strongest of the contemporary generation, Pure World Mountain and Thunderclap Temple.
He can't join one of the forces just for this, right?
Do you still have to shave your head and become a monk?
If he could get [Treasure Vase True Self Aspect] by shaving his head... then Jiang Tian would not even frown, so he would definitely agree to it.
But things are definitely not as simple as he thought. With his current strength, he will naturally be crushed and swept away by Golden Core...
Jiang Tian frowned slightly, feeling a little irritated in his heart.
Just as he was thinking a lot, a voice full of awe and excitement suddenly came from outside the teahouse and reached his ears clearly.
"Look! It's Pure Heaven World-Venerable! There are also the Eight Arhats!"
"Amitabha! The World Honored One has arrived!"
The whole street suddenly became extremely noisy.
At the same time, an extremely faint but extremely lofty scent of sandalwood quietly floated into the tip of Jiang Tian's nose.
This fragrance seems to have some kind of soothing power, making people feel soft and peaceful unconsciously, like a wanderer who has been wandering for a long time and finally returned to his hometown in his dream.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but stand up, walked to the railing of the tea house facing the street, and looked towards the end of the street.
He subconsciously extracted all the words above the heads of the onlookers on both sides of the street and took them into his eyes.
However, when his eyes finally landed on the heads of Pure Heaven World-Venerable and the eight Arhats behind him, his pupils instantly shrank to the extreme!
A biting chill shot up from his tailbone like lightning and spread to his whole body in an instant. A layer of fine cold sweat formed on his back in an instant!
That Pure Heaven World-Venerable, the name is displayed as Qing Yuan.
And above her head, two Prismatic Entry actually appeared! This is the most Jiang Tian has seen so far, except for himself, and it is exactly the same as the number of Prismatic Entry he owns!
But what really made him feel creepy and chilly was not this.
Rather.
[Qing Yuan]
[Zhang Zhiyuan(Qing Yuan)]
[Lin Chong(Qing Yuan)]
[Ge Hongkun(Qing Yuan)]
[Bai Qiushan(Qing Yuan)]
Those eight prestigious Arhats all have a small gray bracket behind their names, with the word Qing Yuan written inside!
At this moment, Pure Heaven World-Venerable, who was holding White Jade Purification Vase in his hand, half of his face covered with a thin white gauze, and with a bright red cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, suddenly felt something and slowly turned his head.
Those clear but bottomless eyes fell on Jiang Tian from a distance.
A clear and soft voice came out from under the white gauze, as if with a strange rhythm, it penetrated directly into the depths of people's souls.
"This donor has such a big Sha Qi. Why don't you put down your butcher knife and take refuge in me, the Buddha."
"How about practicing with me?"
Before he finished speaking, the eight burly Arhats all spoke at the same time, their voices uniform but as soft as women.
"Convert to Buddhism."
"Practice with me."
They were clearly eight great monks with rough faces, but the gazes they projected on them and the expressions on their faces were as cold and strange as the same woman, making one's scalp tingle at the sight.
"Buzz--!"
Pure Heaven World-Venerable held White Jade Purification Vase in his hand, and a drop of crystal clear water suddenly flew out from the mouth of the bottle.
The water droplets exploded in the air and turned into an invisible mist. The air rippled suddenly, and a strange and majestic invisible wave enveloped Jiang Tian in an instant!
In an instant, the scene in front of Jiang Tian began to spin.
The figure of Pure Heaven World-Venerable began to twist and change violently in his sight.
Sometimes she transforms into a royal lady with black stockings, long legs and a cool temperament.
Sometimes he turns into a stern teacher with a graceful figure and a pointer in hand.
The next moment, it might be a nurse holding a giant syringe in her hand and smiling meaningfully.
Or the cool stewardess with big red lips and leering eyes.
There are even cute lolita girls jumping up and down with twin tails...
Various completely different but highly impactful female images appear and overlap on her body like a revolving lantern.
No, rather than so much appearing on her body, it would be better to say that these images were completely growing crazily in Jiang Tian's heart and in the depths of his thoughts!
A strange sapling, condensed from countless distracting thoughts and desires, was rapidly taking shape in his heart. It was about to break out of the ground and completely swallow up all his sanity!
"[Emperor Body]![Formless: Annihilation]!"
At the critical moment when the thought sapling was about to take root, Jiang Tian let out a thundering roar from the bottom of his heart!
The moment Emperor Body was activated, a majestic and majestic power erupted from his body, and the invisible and weird fluctuations that enveloped him were wiped clean instantly like the lingering snow under the blazing sun!
His eyes also regained clarity and coldness in an instant!
"Oh?"
For the first time, Pure Heaven World-Venerable's light voice contained a hint of real surprise.
"With a mere cultivation of the Purple Mansion, you can actually break free from my [One Mind of All]? It's interesting, it's really interesting."
"Hmph!" Jiang Tian raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, laughed angrily, and shouted angrily, "What a Pure World Mountain!!"
Before he finished speaking, a black and white two-color sword light, which contained the artistic conception of great destruction and great annihilation, had already torn the sky, carrying the terrifying power of destroying everything, and suddenly slashed towards Pure Heaven World-Venerable!
Facing this sharp sword that could make even False Core monk change his color, Pure Heaven World-Venerable didn't even raise his eyelids.
An incomparably huge Bodhisattva image suddenly unfolded slowly behind her.
He has low eyebrows and kind eyes, a majestic appearance, and a bright golden wheel of light floating behind his head, with the Buddha's light rippling and flowing like water.
The Dharma Minister holds the White Jade Purification Vase in one hand, which seems to be able to contain all things in the world, and holds the mysterious Buddha seal in the other hand.
Behind her, the eight Arhats were already sitting cross-legged on the ground, each with a compassionate and peaceful smile on their face, as if they were welcoming the arrival of the Paradise.
The Faxiang stretched out his palm and waved lightly at the whistling white sword light.
A soft invisible wave suddenly rippled across White Jade Purification Vase.
Under this seemingly harmless wave, the black and white sword light, which even the False Core monks had to avoid for a while, turned into pink peach blossoms all over the sky like ice and snow melting!
The rain of flowers in the sky did not just dissipate, but strangely condensed in the air, forming chains composed of petals and shining with enchanting light, like poisonous snakes that choose people to bite, winding towards Jiang Tian!
"!!!"
Jiang Tian felt a huge wave in his heart, and a long-lost, strong sense of crisis made his scalp numb!
This is the first time he has felt such a sense of powerlessness since that encounter with the White Lotus Sect and Golden Core True Lord!
