Chapter 3152 – The Dwelling Place of the Reincarnated Living Buddha
Streaks of sword rain shot into the sky. Jiang Chen controlled the Ashura Sword Formation, and endless sword rain fell. Xue Qianying used every trick she had, but she still could not block that terrifying, peerless sword rain. However, Jiang Chen had to stop at the last moment, because if all hundred thousand swords of the rain passed through her body, even the current Xue Qianying would surely have her soul scattered and her body destroyed.
So he had to judge it just right, so that the person behind her would make a move to save her. That was Jiang Chen’s goal.
Watching that terrifying sword rain pass through her body streak after streak, Jiang Chen’s heart was full of worry. The slightest mistake on his part could truly send Xue Qianying into eternal ruin, so Jiang Chen was extremely serious and extremely careful.
Just then, up in the void, an incomparably enormous palm descended from the sky with peerless domineering force and slapped straight onto Jiang Chen’s Ashura Sword Formation. The Ashura Sword Formation shook at once. The giant hand fell once more, and the Ashura Sword Formation finally could not withstand the enormous destructive power. To be able to break the Ashura Sword Formation with sheer strength alone, its terror could well be imagined.
Jiang Chen was sent flying from the shock. But at this very moment, he unleashed the Soul Seizing Divine Art, Dead Spirit Kill Soul! A terrifying wave of force swept out, but it could not hold back the giant hand that had come down from the sky. The void closed up, and the giant hand dissipated along with it. Xue Qianying, however, had already vanished without a trace. No one knew where she had gone.
“What terrifying soul power. Even Dead Spirit Kill Soul couldn’t hold him?”
Jiang Chen murmured. At this point, he was even more puzzled about the person behind Xue Qianying. Xue Qianying had vanished without a trace, and he grew more and more worried. Just how many forces were in this so-called illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple, Jiang Chen had no way of knowing. But it was bound to be full of danger, and he had to be even more careful.
The news that Xue Qianying was still alive was already a huge shock to Jiang Chen. The appearance of this Great Thunderclap Temple was becoming more and more mysterious.
Halls that vanished for no reason, experts appearing one after another, mysterious and eerie Arhats, all of it made Jiang Chen very curious. The monk’s situation was bound to become more and more dangerous, and Jiang Chen’s heart grew tenser and tenser. He could feel that the Reincarnated Living Buddha had to have countless ties to the monk.
When Jiang Chen turned back to look for Moling Dongchen, she had already disappeared without a trace. Jiang Chen could only sigh. Back when she had not entered Profound Connection Divine Palace, Jiang Chen had been worried. Now it seemed she definitely had something she could not speak of. But she even seemed to ignore him. Being her savior had really left him not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Jiang Chen did not stop. Instead, he quickly moved forward. In the distance, peaks rose layer upon layer, ten thousand mountains merging into one. Up in the void, golden light flickered everywhere.
Jiang Chen frowned, his expression grave. As he looked out, an ancient, simple main hall came into being.
“Another hall!”
Several figures rushed toward the divine hall, and Jiang Chen quickly hurried over as well.
The ancient, magnificent hall was completely different from the Arhat Hall and the divine hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from before. The hall was not large, only a hundred zhang. Up in the void there were auspicious clouds everywhere, golden light flickering and Buddha light surging. Even Jiang Chen was awed by this scene. The divine hall of Ksitigarbha and the Arhat Hall from before had not had this kind of Buddha light that made people want to prostrate themselves in worship. But this ancient divine hall was different from all the other divine halls.
A long road paved with bluestone rose straight up. The divine hall towered high. No one could fly through the air. They could only climb up to this tall, ancient divine hall step by step.
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered as he felt the ancient, timeless aura drifting around the hall. Two figures strode up as if flying, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the hall at the top of the dome.
“Amitabha, so it’s the two eminent monks of Temple Hong Yan. My respects.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said flatly. At this moment, Wuyin the Enlightened and more than ten others stood in front of the hall, but none of them had taken a single step inside.
“Amitabha, Wuyin the Enlightened is too courteous. Why are all of you standing in front of this hall and not going inside?”
Scarlet Moon the Enlightened asked in a deep voice. Of Temple Hong Yan, only he and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened were left now. Everyone else had been wiped out, swallowed by halls that vanished for no reason, without the slightest warning. Those so-called halls of the gods were simply weapons that killed without a trace.
“Amitabha. Everyone who went in before let out a scream and then vanished without a trace. All four were the same. This ancient hall’s plaque has even fallen off. It’s so old it’s barely recognizable. There’s no way to tell what kind of divine hall it is.”
Wuyin the Enlightened’s expression was solemn. Four people had died without a sound, and they had all fallen into hesitation.
“Before, we obtained one or two magic treasures in other divine halls, so this ancient hall definitely isn’t an ordinary divine hall either. There must be danger inside, but there will surely also be unexpected gains.”
Shenyin the Enlightened said.
This divine hall was completely different from the earlier ones, and there was no way to fly through the air. Within the area of this divine hall, they could only climb up on foot. In the end, in front of this hall whose plaque had fallen, everyone fell into hesitation.
“I’ve heard that this ancient divine hall is the dwelling place of the Reincarnated Living Buddha. Someone once saw the Reincarnated Living Buddha go inside. As for whether it’s true or not, no one knows.”
Wuyin the Enlightened’s words made Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and Scarlet Crow the Enlightened catch their breath. They exchanged a glance, shock written all over their faces.
“Wuyin the Enlightened, is that true?”
At this moment, Jiang Chen also appeared in front of the divine hall. His eyes narrowed, and his heart was greatly shaken. Could this really be the dwelling place of the Reincarnated Living Buddha?
“It’s you! Jiang Chen!”
Tianyin the Enlightened’s expression shifted. This guy had actually ventured into the illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple all by himself. That was far too reckless. He himself was staying completely under his big brother’s wing right now, not daring to make the slightest move, afraid he would meet with complete disaster in this illusory realm of the Great Thunderclap Temple where anything could happen.
“It’s true. But right now, no one dares to step into this ancient hall. Everyone who went in died, without a trace.”
Wuyin the Enlightened glanced at Jiang Chen and said coldly. This guy had come with Zhongsheng Temple, but now he was actually alone.
“Where did the people of Zhongsheng Temple go?”
Wuyin the Enlightened looked at Jiang Chen.
“Some died, some were injured. Their whereabouts are hard to find.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Amitabha, what a pity. The three eminent monks of Zhongsheng Temple and the descendants of those great clans were all true experts, yet now their whereabouts are unknown.”
Wuyin the Enlightened said with a sigh.
“Then why are you still alive?”
Tianyin the Enlightened narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen. This guy had once defeated him and had been incredibly arrogant. Today, in front of so many experts, he had been reduced to a stray dog.
