Buddha Fat

Seeing Lu Peng, Lu Xiaoyu, Zhang Jin, and the others staring at the Ancient Buddha Character with astonished, doubtful expressions, Lu Yiping said, "This Ancient Buddha Character is concealed within the void and can move with spatial fluctuations, so the Tan Family experts were unable to discover it."

"Let's go in!"

Hearing Lu Yiping say they were going in, Lu Peng was stunned. "Go in?"

Lu Yiping nodded. "There is a self-contained space within the Ancient Buddha Character."

At that moment, the War Chariot soared into the air and arrived before the Ancient Buddha Character in the void.

Golden lightning flickered across the Dragon Horn Golden Ox's body. Amid the flashing golden lightning, a spatial entrance suddenly appeared in the center of the Ancient Buddha Character.

The War Chariot passed through the spatial entrance.

Once everyone had entered, the spatial entrance closed, and the Ancient Buddha Character concealed itself in the void once more, vanishing without a trace.

After entering the space, Lu Peng, Lu Xiaoyu, and the others were stunned by everything within it.

High in the sky, a thousand-zhang fire dragon swam through the air.

As the fire dragon moved, it released vast waves of pure Fire Dragon essence, which surged like ocean waves and filled the entire space.

Seeing the fire dragon swimming through the sky, Lu Yiping flicked a finger, and the fire dragon flew down.

Before the fire dragon even drew close, terrifying waves of fire came crashing down, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

However, when those waves of fire reached the War Chariot, they were blocked by an invisible force.

What stunned and surprised Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu was that, after the fire dragon arrived before them, light suddenly surged from its body. The fire dragon vanished, replaced by a golden book wreathed in flames.

"This is?" Lu Peng asked in astonishment.

"This is the Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture of the Fire Dragon Temple," Lu Yiping said. With a wave of his hand, the Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture fell into his grasp. "The artifact spirit of this Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture is a fire dragon."

Upon hearing that the golden book blazing with flames before him was the legendary Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture of the Fire Dragon Temple, Lu Peng's heart shook violently.

The Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture was one of the four great Buddhist scriptures of the Hengyuan Plane. Legend had it that if all four great Buddhist scriptures were gathered, one could even open the Buddha Realm Passage and wield unimaginable power.

"Young Master, I heard that if the four great Buddhist scriptures are gathered, they can open the Buddha Realm Passage. Is that true?" Lu Peng asked.

Lu Yiping smiled upon hearing this. "Perhaps."

After storing the Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture in the Universe Cauldron, Lu Yiping looked toward the golden vats piled across the ground ahead.

Lu Yiping stepped forward and opened the lid of one of the vats.

Immediately, Buddha light filled the sky. Streams of golden Buddha power permeated heaven and earth, while a strange fragrance drifted through the air. Everyone who inhaled it felt refreshed in spirit and soothed throughout their bodies, as though they had swallowed a Buddha Pill.

"This is?!" Lu Peng and the others stared fixedly at the golden vat.

"This is Buddha Fat," the Dragon Horn Golden Ox said. "And it is Buddha Fat of the Heavenly God level!"

Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat!

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu's eyes widened. The contents stored within this golden vat were actually Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat!

Buddha Fat was refined from the fat of Buddhist Buddhas after being tempered a thousand times. When Buddha Fat burned, it produced an aroma of Buddha fragrance that was immensely beneficial to cultivators.

For example, this Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat was refined by tempering the fat from Buddhas of the Heavenly God Realm a thousand times, and it contained traces of the aura of Heavenly God Laws.

When a True God Realm expert cultivated, lighting a small vat of such Buddha Fat nearby while comprehending the Heavenly God Laws within it would greatly increase cultivation speed.

Moreover, the Buddha power contained within Buddha Fat could calm one's heart and purify one's spirit, reduce inner demons, and prevent the possibility of cultivation deviation and Entering Demonic State.

The higher the grade of Buddha Fat, the better its effects.

If it were Saint-level Buddha Fat, it could even bring one into the Dao Realm and allow one to comprehend the Dao of Saints.

"These couldn't all be Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat, could they?" Zhang Jin swallowed as he stared at the several hundred golden vats before him.

If all of them were Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat, how many Heavenly God-level Buddhas would it take to refine so much Buddha Fat?

"Yes, all of it is Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat," Lu Yiping said.

"How could the Fire Dragon Temple possess so much Heavenly God-level Buddha Fat?" Zhao Wen asked in confusion.

Although the Fire Dragon Temple was the largest Buddhist temple on the Divine Martial Continent, it could not possibly possess so many corpses of Buddhas in the Heavenly God Realm. To refine so much Buddha Fat, it would require at least several hundred Heavenly God Realm Buddha corpses.

Lu Yiping pondered. "Perhaps the Fire Dragon Temple obtained the treasure of a Primordial Era Buddha. It may have been because of this Buddha Fat that the Fire Dragon Temple was destroyed by the Tan Family. The Tan Family has guarded this place for so many years not only to find the Fire Dragon Buddhist Scripture, but also to find this Buddha Fat."

Meanwhile, outside, that group of black-clad men had also arrived at the deepest space within the Buddha Grotto.

"Strange. That blue-robed youth clearly came in. How did he disappear?" one of the black-clad men asked suspiciously.

The black-clad leader swept his gaze over the Buddha city. Ghostly light shone from his eyes as he pondered. "There should be an entrance to an Otherspace here."

"An Otherspace entrance!" Everyone was startled.

"What we are searching for may be here. Split up and look," the black-clad leader said.

Not long after the black-clad men scattered to search, light suddenly rippled through the void. A War Chariot emerged from the depths of the void—it was Lu Yiping and the others, who had come out of the golden Buddha space.

The black-clad men stopped, stunned.

Lu Yiping glanced at the black-clad men and collected the Ancient Buddha Character into his hand.

The black-clad leader stared intently at the Ancient Buddha Character in Lu Yiping's hand, his eyes blazing.

After hesitating briefly, he cupped his fists toward Lu Yiping. "This little brother, I am a descendant of the Fire Dragon Temple. This Ancient Buddha Character belongs to my Fire Dragon Temple. I ask that you return it to us. We will be endlessly grateful!"

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu were surprised.

These black-clad men were descendants of the Fire Dragon Temple?

The two could not help looking at Lu Yiping.

Lu Yiping remained impassive. Suddenly, he pressed down through the void, and the black-clad leader's garments exploded, revealing his true appearance. Black markings covered his forehead, while streams of purple-black gas continuously surged from his body.

"A descendant of the Fire Dragon Temple, yet you cultivate not Buddhist techniques!" Lu Yiping said calmly. "And you even possess the Purple Demon Body of the Purple Demon Race?"

Clearly, this group of black-clad men were not descendants of the Fire Dragon Temple at all, but members of the Purple Demon Race from the Ghost Demon Continent.

The Hengyuan Plane had forty-six continents, and the Ghost Demon Continent was one of the strongest among them. The headquarters of the Yin Ghost Sect was located on the Ghost Demon Continent.

As for this Purple Demon Race, it was the strongest force on the Ghost Demon Continent aside from the Yin Ghost Sect. Compared to the Tan Family, it was not much weaker.

Seeing his identity exposed, the Purple Demon Race leader's expression darkened. His entire aura locked onto Lu Yiping as Demonic Light surged in his eyes. He suddenly threw a punch at Lu Yiping and shouted, "Attack! Kill them!" Divine power surged through his body—he was shockingly a Mid True God expert!

Lu Yiping watched the Purple Demon Race leader's killing punch approach and flicked a finger. The Ancient Buddha Character flew out. As it flew forth, golden Buddha light bloomed like a golden sun, flooding the entire deepest space of the Buddha Grotto.
