Calamity Would Not Come from the Buddhist Path Alone
Southern Region.
A flying boat sped through the air.
On the flying boat, Qin Han, dressed in a cloak and wearing a mask, sat in the cabin.
The fact that the secret realm ended prematurely isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Compared to the nights in the secret realm, the nights in the Land of the Four Directions are remarkably peaceful and serene.
"I hope this trip will allow me to find a way to help Elder Hua wake up soon."
Looking towards the direction of the Buddhist Order in the Western Region, Qin Han murmured softly.
Its original destination was the Northern Region, near the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
Although we didn't succeed in the secret realm, it doesn't mean we'll never have another chance. We can still find a way to enter the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
Anything that can help improve one's cultivation level must be obtained by any means necessary.
However, things have gone wrong on Elder Hua's side.
The outside world is not like the secret realm; there are quite a few troubles.
We still need to find a way to wake up Elder Hua as soon as possible, so that we can have more protection.
It's not too late to go to the Extreme Arms Holy Land after we awaken Elder Hua.
Now, several days have passed since the secret realm was officially declared over.
News related to the secret realm began to spread far and wide.
"I never expected the younger generation of the Extreme Arms Holy Land to be so powerful. I originally thought there would only be one Jiang Xin among the top three prodigies, but unexpectedly, third place is also theirs. This is too amazing."
"Yes, they've secured two of the three seats. This great fortune has fallen on the shoulders of the Extreme Arms Holy Land. Plus, they already have a Saint King. From now on, they're truly poised for unprecedented power."
"The Star Moon Holy Land, however, is surprisingly strong, managing to secure second place. Although they aren't the Holy Sons, they are far more powerful than the Holy Sons themselves."
"That Holy Son of the Star Moon Holy Land is said to be really unlucky. He brought a group of people and was initially confident of victory, but they ended up stripping him bare. His reputation will probably plummet when he returns to the Holy Land."
The two chatted and laughed, one of them taking out a recording stone and saying:
"Hey bro, I have a recording stone from inside that shows what they looked like after they were stripped naked. Want to take a look?"
"Are there any women?" another person asked.
"Damn it, a female cultivator? Who's she trying to crush to death? The Star Moon Holy Land is full of roughnecks, what female cultivators does she have?"
"What's so interesting about that? What's there to see?"
"Hey, there are hairless ones too, and quite a few of them have really round butts, bigger than yours... huh? What kind of look is that?"
"You son of a bitch, I considered you a brother!"
"..."
The final rankings of the secret realms are something to talk about.
Surprisingly, seven of the top ten prodigies came from the Northern Region. In addition, two came from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, while the Buddhist Order fared the worst, with only one person hanging in the tenth place.
Logically speaking, given that the Southern Region and Western Region regions are roughly the same size, each with its own power, while the Eastern Region has three holy lands, each should be relatively weak.
The current outcome is not what most people expected.
In no time, a saying began to circulate.
The three sacred lands of the Northern Region are places where hidden talents reside!
As for the Eastern Region, compared to the discussions in other regions about how many titles were obtained, the relevant discussions were only about how many people from the Eastern Region actually returned alive.
Western Region, Buddhist Order.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to investigate the entrance to the secret realm in the Southern Region, and it has been completely sealed off."
In the almost completely dark room, the abbot stood Jingjing.
I rushed back earlier to prepare for the situation, and I've been extremely busy lately.
Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The sound faded, but there was no response.
Suddenly, a Buddhist rosary appeared in front of the old Buddha who was sitting cross-legged like a withered statue.
The prayer beads are engraved with fine Sanskrit characters, and in the center there is a mark that looks like an eye. This prayer bead seems to have gone through a very long period of time, as the surface luster is very faint and there are many tiny cracks.
"It won't be many more times."
The Buddha's voice rang out.
The abbot immediately stood up and stepped forward, activating his power. Buddhist light spread out and converged into the Buddhist beads.
A moment later, the light on the prayer beads began to brighten and spread outwards, with Sanskrit characters flying out and following a certain path in the darkness.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere rippled with the movement of Sanskrit characters.
The fluctuations grew stronger over time, and the Buddha's light became increasingly dazzling. In the end, the aura practically formed a storm.
Just as this aura was about to reach its peak.
Bang!
A dull thud suddenly rang out.
The radiant prayer beads suddenly burst open.
The abbot's body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, and his aura fluctuated.
"It's not over yet."
The old Buddha's voice rang out, filled with solemnity and resentment.
The abbot's expression changed slightly, and he said:
"May I ask, Your Majesty, when and where was this?"
"Almost," the old Buddha said.
"It's a pity it's already broken, but it won't be too far away."
After a pause, the old Buddha slowly opened his eyes:
"We must prepare to respond at all costs, otherwise, this will surely become a catastrophe for our Buddhist Order!"
As the sound faded, the atmosphere in the entire palace became heavy.
The abbot's face twitched. For the old Buddha to use the word "catastrophe" to describe it, one could see just how serious the events that were about to occur were.
At this moment, the abbot seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Old Buddha, didn't you say that Buddhism and Daoism do not advocate killing? If we lay down our butcher's knives, we too can become Buddhas?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the abbot's voice rang out:
"Catastrophes don't only come from Buddhism and Daoism."
A heavy silence fell over the hall.
On Hidden Origin Peak.
Lu Changzhi slowly opened his eyes.
"System, hasn't a long time passed?"
I got up and tried to move around a bit, and immediately I heard a series of crackling sounds coming from my body.
"Reporting to Master, your refining process took a total of nine days, four hours, two quarters of an hour, and seven breaths."
The system responded verbally.
"Really."
Lu Changzhi said softly, which was the first time he had spent so much time immersed in something.
It must be said that this Seed of Chaos is indeed extremely unique, and the Chaos Law is also quite extraordinary.
Of course, the main reason is that this Chaos Law can only be obtained through self-comprehension; otherwise, one could simply start AFK cultivation right from the start.
Gathering his thoughts, Lu Changzhi sensed the surrounding world around him.
Having come into contact with the Seed of Chaos, one now perceives the world with a different feeling than before, and the evolution that was previously overlooked has also begun to emerge.
"Obtaining this before breaking through to the Saint Realm is a good thing for my future cultivation."
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi withdrew his senses and looked up at the sky.
"It's time to find a place to break through."
