683 Urna (1/2)

He turned his head and realized that there was no longer a stone door behind him. Behind him was an endless void. The huge golden Buddha nation was floating in the void like an island while they were standing at the edge of the golden Buddha nation.

Zhou Wen looked around and failed to find a way back. He looked at An Sheng and asked, ”Ah Sheng, can you tell the way back?”

An Sheng shook his head and said, ”I can't tell. It's probably going to be troublesome. Young Master Wen, you have to be careful at all times.”

Leng Zongzheng said, ”Look at the spot between the giant Buddha's eyebrows.”

Zhou Wen and An Sheng looked over and saw a huge piece of sun-like glass between the Buddha's brows that emitted a strange glow.

”In Buddhism, that's an Urna. It's one of the thirty-two aspects of Gautama Buddha. It represents the source of all religions,” An Sheng said.

Leng Zongzheng nodded and said, ”An Urna is one of the original forms of Buddha. It shrinks between the eyebrows. And when a craftsman carves a Buddha statue, there's no way to depict the true appearance of an Urna. They usually just carve a circle or spiral to represent it. Look carefully at the Urna. Do you find anything odd?”

Zhou Wen and An Sheng looked over and felt that the Urna was blinding, as though it was clear glass.

As Truth Listener's power couldn't reach such a distance, Zhou Wen didn't sense any danger descending. He switched to the Small Perfection of Wisdom and the Hell King Life Soul to strengthen his senses before carefully looking at the Urna.

Upon doing so, Zhou Wen immediately realized something. The Urna wasn't glass. It was clearly a cocoon formed from crystal threads.

”That's… the cocoon of a Guardian…” Zhou Wen said in surprise.

Leng Zongzheng said with a heavy expression, ”It's probably a cocoon of a Guardian. I originally thought that Dragon Gate Grotto only had one in Dragon's Well, I didn't expect there to be another one.”

”Could it be that everything that happened in Dragon Gate Grotto is due to the cocoon of the Guardian? But that doesn't make sense. Doesn't a Guardian only choose humans as contractors? Why are the monk-robed skeleton and the golden-winged bird here?” Zhou Wen frowned.

No one could answer his question. The three of them watched from afar as the monk-clothed skeleton walked towards the Buddha and the golden-winged bird flew at high speed.

However, be it the skeleton in monk robes or the golden-winged bird, they couldn't close the distance. It was as though they were running on the spot.

Zhou Wen hurriedly summoned the Great Might Vajra Bull and made it try walking in the direction of the Buddha.

It was odd. The golden-winged bird's flying speed was tremendous. It could fly hundreds of kilometers with a flap of its wings, but it was unable to approach the huge Buddha.

However, the Great Might Vajra Bull easily closed the distance by slowly walking on the golden bricks. It was about to catch up to the monk-robed skeleton.

”As expected. Only Buddhist-type creatures can travel through the Buddhist kingdom. That monk-robed skeleton isn't a Buddhist-type creature after all. It's probably relying on the crystal in its hand to slowly walk towards the Buddha. As for the golden-winged bird, it can't approach it no matter what. It's worse than the monk-robed skeleton.” As Leng Zongzheng spoke, he got Zhou Wen to summon the Great Might Vajra Bull back to prevent it from meeting the monk-robed skeleton.

At that moment, a bird's cry rang through the clouds. The golden-winged bird's body expanded like a golden cloud that blotted out the sky. It nearly enveloped the entire Buddhist kingdom in its shadow.

It flapped its wings as a terrifying power tore through space and rapidly approached the Buddha. It actually broke through the restrictions of the Buddhist kingdom's strange powers.
