Chapter 436: Golden Radiance Arhat! Yellow Gale Immortal!
Chapter 436: Golden Radiance Arhat! Yellow Gale Immortal!
The vast desert stretched endlessly, with howling winds sweeping across the land.
The sky and earth were shrouded in a dull yellow hue, filled with a desolate and lifeless aura.
Amidst this lifeless land, a yellow weasel swiftly traversed the terrain.
Soon, it arrived at the only structure amidst the boundless yellow sand—a dilapidated temple.
The broken walls could not withstand the wind and sand, and even the sole Buddha statue at the center of the temple had half of its body buried by the sand.
Upon reaching the temple, the yellow weasel transformed into a tall and robust man, surrounded by radiant light.
He knelt reverently before the Buddha statue and then bowed with sincerity.
Whoosh!
When he lifted his head, the scene before him was no longer that of a dilapidated temple.
A radiant Buddha light enveloped the surroundings, and he found himself in a colossal gilded hall, with two Buddhist monks seated in lotus position on either side.
The profound and majestic Buddhist chants resonated, resembling the deep rumble of thunder, echoing in his ears.
At the front, the Buddha statue, half-buried by the sand, had transformed into a radiant Arhat with an awe-inspiring demeanor.
"What brings the little demon from Yellow Gale Mountain to my presence?"
The dignified Arhat gazed down at the man transformed from the yellow weasel and spoke slowly.
The man clasped his hands together and bowed again, saying, "The little demon, Yellow Fifteenth, from Yellow Gale Mountain, pays his respects to the Golden Radiance Arhat!"
This dignified Arhat was none other than the senior monk to Treasure Light Elder Monk, the true form of Copper Light Master, and Golden Light Master. In the Holy Mountain, he was also known as the Golden Radiance Arhat!
After Yellow Fifteenth bowed respectfully, he lifted his head and looked at the Golden Radiance Arhat.
In that instant, his eyes changed, transforming from their original clear and foolish state to a sternness no less than that of the Golden Radiance Arhat.
"That evil being has descended from the Jade Void Palace."
Yellow Fifteenth stood up, gently patted his knees, and then spoke with an air of authority, his hands behind his back.
The Golden Radiance Arhat did not respond but instead fixed his gaze on Yellow Fifteenth's eyes, as if seeing another figure hidden within.
"Who dares to bring you to the Holy Mountain, unafraid of the chaos it might cause in the heavens?"
Yellow Fifteenth chuckled and said coldly, "It was they who first oppressed others, breaking the rules."
"But our Demonic Court is not afraid of them!"
The Golden Radiance Arhat remained silent, looking down.
Yellow Fifteenth didn't mind. He turned and scanned the entire hall, then looked beyond the hall, where countless beings were immersed in devotion.
Each of them faced the hall, kneeling reverently, chanting unique scriptures and offering incense to the center of the hall.
"As far as I know, that evil being has not only killed a powerful member of our Demon Race but also your clone in the Human Immortal Dynasty?"
Yellow Fifteenth spoke abruptly, then withdrew his gaze and turned back to the Golden Radiance Arhat seated in the center, continuing, "Or perhaps, that wasn't your clone, but one of your Three Corpses?"
"And how long would it take to refine another Three Corpse?"
"The Water and Land Assembly three thousand years later is a turning point for the vast continent's destiny, and it's the best time to attain enlightenment in Chaos Origin!"
"Can you compete with the other Arhats of the Holy Mountain Buddhism, having lost one of your Three Corpses?"
The Golden Radiance Arhat remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "What do you intend to do?"
Upon hearing this, Yellow Fifteenth smiled and replied, "That evil being is shrouded in a mist, making it impossible to discern the cause and effect on his body."
"But one can see the immense destiny he carries."
"Since he has left the Jade Void Palace, we can seize the opportunity to slay him!"
"His destiny is shared by the Demonic Court and the Holy Mountain, and his physical body can be refined into your Three Corpse."
"This evil being's origin is from the Jade Void lineage. If it can be refined into one of the Three Corpses, there might be unexpected blessings!"
Yellow Fifteenth's voice echoed slowly within the hall bathed in radiant light.
The Golden Radiance Arhat's eyes flickered, and he spoke again, "Since you know his origin is from the Jade Void lineage."
"Then do you still dare to kill him?"
"Are you unafraid of the Jade Void Palace's forces coming after your Demonic Court?"
Yellow Fifteenth chuckled and said frankly, "The Chaos Origin of our Demonic Court is about to awaken."
"And the one in the Jade Void Palace hasn't appeared for a million years!"
"Why should I be afraid to kill him?"
Upon hearing Yellow Fifteenth's words, the Golden Radiance Arhat's pupils contracted slightly, his expression turning solemn.
"Which Chaos Origin is reviving in the Demonic Court?"
He asked immediately.
Yellow Fifteenth merely smiled and shook his head, "When he takes action, the Golden Radiance Arhat will know."
The Chaos Origin Powerhouses!
On the vast continent, they are the ultimate trump cards of various factions!
The Demonic Court, the Holy Mountain, and the Immortal Deity!
These three powers dominate the vast continent, while the Human Immortal Dynasty can only seek shelter.
The reason lies in the fact that only these three powers possess Chaos Origin Great Figures!
However, the Chaos Origin Great Figures of each power are mostly in slumber, serving only to deter one another.
But now, a Chaos Origin Great Figure of the Demon Race is about to awaken ahead of schedule. If the Chaos Origin Great Figures of the other two powers don't awaken as well,
during that time, the entire Vast Continent will fall under the control of the Demonic Court!
The Golden Radiance Arhat digested this heavy news, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Huang Shi Wu spoke up again, "Golden Radiance Arhat, there's no need to worry."
"The Holy Mountain Buddhism has the deepest secrets. It's possible that a Chaos Origin Great Figure has already awakened, but you, Golden Radiance Arhat, are unaware of it."
"The incense offerings of millions of years from the Vast Continent are likely enough to heal and restore the Dao injury of a Chaos Origin Great Figure, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Radiance Arhat's gaze fell upon Huang Shi Wu, and the atmosphere in the entire hall tightened.
The monks sitting in lotus position on both sides of the hall turned their eyes towards Huang Shi Wu and began chanting sutras.
The Buddhist Chant reverberated like thunder.
The Buddha's light grew brighter.
But Huang Shi Wu's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the Golden Radiance Arhat and spoke again, "This seat has no other purpose in coming here."
"I just want to ask you, do you intend to take action against that evil being?"
"If the Demonic Court takes action and kills that evil being, and if the Holy Mountain Buddhism interferes again, the Demonic Court will show no mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Radiance Arhat's eyes revealed a contemplative look, weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Huang Shi Wu stood calmly, not hurrying the other party.
After a moment, a figure emerged from the Golden Radiance Arhat's body, wearing a cassock and with a kind-faced presence. He looked at Huang Shi Wu and said,
"This humble monk, Silver Light, has met the Yellow Gale Immortal!"
Huang Shi Wu's eyebrows rose slightly, and after glancing at Silver Light Master, he looked directly at the Golden Radiance Arhat and spoke,
"That evil being is not weak. Even your Three Corpse Manifestations couldn't block a single palm strike. How can this body kill him?"
The Silver Light Master smiled but remained silent.
The Golden Radiance Arhat slowly said, "This Three Corpse Manifestation will be the bait. At that time, I will personally take action."
Hearing this, Huang Shi Wu nodded slightly.
That evil being had just descended from the Jade Void Palace, and the Jade Void Palace was surely on guard against the Demonic Court and the Holy Mountain.
If they directly intervened, it would undoubtedly alert the Jade Void Palace.
So, he nodded and then looked at the Silver Light Master, saying slowly, "Then please, Master, accompany me to the Human Race."
The kind-faced Silver Light Master nodded lightly and spoke, "Good!"
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Buddha's light faded, and the temple reverted to a dilapidated temple in the desert.
Huang Shi Wu also transformed back into the body of a yellow weasel, and the wisdom and dignity in his eyes quickly dissipated, turning into clarity and foolishness.
The Silver Light Master extended his hand and touched the yellow weasel's head with his finger. After a flash of light, the yellow weasel transformed into a little monk.
"Let's go."
The Silver Light Master pressed his palms together and said calmly, "With the demise of Copper Light Master, Golden Temple cannot be without a Great Transcendent guardian."
"Today, I shall leave the Holy Mountain and head to the Human Immortal Dynasty, taking the place of Copper Light Master and guarding the Golden Temple."
His words seemed like a soliloquy, yet they were also directed at someone. After speaking, he gently patted the little monk's head.
Immediately, he soared into the sky with golden light, and the little monk instantly transformed into a golden rainbow, leaving the desert.
At the same time, in the distant Central Immortal Kingdom,
a youth in a golden patterned dark robe walked along the shore of a wide lake.
Gurgle!
The calm water surface suddenly rippled with layer upon layer of ripples.
A fragment with faint golden light rose from the bottom of the lake, breaking through the water's surface and landing in his palm.
Another fragment of the divine pagoda.
The divine object was hidden, and who could have imagined that such a divine object fragment would be concealed in this unremarkable lake?
Qin Zheng, who had been collecting these fragments along the way, had encountered too many similar situations.
He stored the fragment in his inner universe.
At this very moment, within his inner universe, a seven-story pagoda body had already taken shape.
The Heaven-Earth Yellow Crystal Pagoda had a total of forty-nine stories.
The pagoda body formed by Qin Zheng was only one-seventh of the entire pagoda.
However, the pagoda fragments in the Human Immortal Dynasty had already been mostly collected by him, with only over a hundred fragments remaining.
Therefore, it could be said that either the fragments scattered across the Vast Continent were not complete,
or among the remaining fragments, there were some of immense size, possibly even entire pagoda bodies.
Qin Zheng's thoughts turned in his mind, and a contemplative look appeared in his eyes.
The specific situation would have to be determined through further collection.
He put aside his thoughts and was about to step into the void, heading towards the next fragment's location.
And it was in this moment that the Heavenly Providence Divine Treasury's power surged, and the Tortoise Shell Divination began to operate on its own, swiftly presenting a scene in his mind.
It was a majestic and grand Buddhist temple, with golden Buddha light replacing the sun, illuminating the entire temple.
And within this temple, there stood a nine-level Buddha tower, currently emanating a dazzling and bright golden radiance.
The monks in the temple were all looking at the Buddha tower with faces filled with astonishment and doubt.
But Qin Zheng immediately recognized that this Buddha tower was only decorated on the surface, and its interior was the Heaven-Earth Mystic Golden Tower!
The nine-level tower had been built into a Buddha tower! Qin Zheng's heart instantly burned with passion.
However, he also keenly sensed that the Tortoise Shell Divination was operating on its own, and it was impossible for it to merely convey this information to him.
Qin Zheng's mind shifted, and he immediately saw that beneath the Buddha tower, there stood a kind-faced monk, with a little monk by his side.
And on these two monks, there emanated an intense and extreme malice towards Qin Zheng.
And it was in this instant.
The two monks seemed to sense something, and they immediately raised their heads, their gazes fixing on Qin Zheng's direction.
Whoosh!
The vision transmitted through his mind came to an end.
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
For the Tortoise Shell Divination to operate on its own and convey this vision to him, these two monks were certainly not ordinary.
M
However, Qin Zheng's expression didn't turn solemn. At this point, with the seven Divine Treasuries perfected and the tower condensed into seven layers, he wasn't concerned.
On this vast continent, unless a Chaos Origin powerhouse personally took action, no one could pose a threat to him.
And with the nine-level tower in sight, Qin Zheng wouldn't ignore it after seeing it.
Monks and little monks, if they can be suppressed, they will be suppressed. If they can't be suppressed, they will be killed directly.
As Qin Zheng thought this, his heart moved, and he began to deduce the information about the temple he had just seen.
In an instant.
"Golden Light Temple."
Qin Zheng spoke softly.
That temple was the Golden Light Temple, and the monk and little monk he had just seen were likely related to the Copper Light Master.
With this thought, Qin Zheng chuckled lightly and then took a step into the void.
Whoosh!
Just after he left, ripples appeared in the void above the lake, and two powerful presences descended.
"We're a step too late!"
One of them spoke gravely.
"Hurry and chase after him!"
"The Emperor has spoken. We must not allow the conflict between the Demonic Court, Holy Mountain Buddhism, and the Immortal Dynasty to erupt within the Celestial Dynasty's borders!"
The other one quickly added.
After exchanging a glance, the two of them stepped into the void.
And on the other side of the void.
As Qin Zheng stepped out of the void and appeared at the foot of a majestic mountain, two figures quickly approached and spoke, "May we ask if you are a senior from the Jade Void Palace?"
"The Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty has invited you, and we ask that you accompany us to the Immortal Capital. The Emperor has prepared a grand banquet in anticipation of your arrival."
Qin Zheng's eyebrows lifted slightly.
Rumble!
The stairs from the foot of the mountain to the summit suddenly glowed with golden light, and at the same time, the temple doors at the summit opened with a boom.
A large and small figure emerged from the temple, entering Qin Zheng's line of sight.
"This fellow Daoist wishes to visit our Golden Light Temple. Why are the two of you from the Celestial Dynasty blocking his way?"
Silver Light Master spoke with a gentle tone, not interrogating but rather like a warm spring breeze, making one feel comfortable.
The little monk bowed his head, staring intently at Qin Zheng without saying a word.
Hum!
The void suddenly rippled.
Two more figures stepped out of the void and quickly blocked Qin Zheng's path.
"Silver Light Master, you speak too heavily. The senior from the Jade Void Palace has arrived, and the Emperor has instructed us to invite the senior to the Celestial Dynasty."
"We dare not delay."
The two later-arriving Human Immortal Dynasty Great Transcendent figures smiled and responded with a fist salute.
Silver Light Master's smile remained, but he said, "Even if it's the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, one must still consider who arrived first."
"This fellow Daoist's arrival has brought great fortune to the Golden Light Temple, causing even the Buddha tower, which has been silent for ten thousand years, to emit golden light."
"It's clear that he has a connection with our Golden Light Temple, so he should visit us first."
The four Great Transcendent Golden Numbers from the Immortal Capital frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Whether it was the Jade Void Palace or the Holy Mountain Buddhism, they couldn't afford to offend either.
But if these two forces were to engage in a major battle within the Celestial Dynasty, the Human Immortal Dynasty would suffer the most severe damage.
So, the four of them exchanged glances, and after a moment of eye contact, they were about to admonish Qin Zheng.
"Please rest assured, everyone."
Qin Zheng spoke calmly, then raised his head to look at the Golden Light Temple's gate at the summit and continued, "The disturbance won't be too great."
