Chapter 1890: Golden Shrine (1/2)
The Golden Shrine has always been full of tales and temptation. Numerous people came to Buddhist Plain just to visit the shrine, hoping that they could take away all the treasures here.
Jilin Princess’ eyes were instantly fixated on the treasures piling in the shrine. She couldn’t be blamed for doing so because everyone would feel the same way. There was a hexa-chromatic Buddhist Cup, an Evil-slaying Buddhist Sword with a murderous glow, an Eight-jeweled Divine Lotus filled with the wors.h.i.+pping wills of many beings from the myriad realms.
Each treasure was quite tempting. Just taking one out was enough for a lifetime of benefits, rising in status in just one night.
The princess struggled to avert her gaze from the treasures. When she looked again, she became less affected by the treasures.
Now, she noticed a supreme Buddha sitting in front of each shrine. They closed their eyes in meditation with a wooden fish in front of them. One hand held a hitting stick while the other formed a mudra. These Buddhas were tapping the fish while chanting mantras. However, they were all dead with their body taking the form of statues.
Outside of the shrine were many experts. They sat on the ground with both hands situated before their stomach in mudra form with their eyes closed.
Upon careful inspection, people would find that these experts were already dead. Moreover, some were even from this generation.
“What’s going on?” The princess wondered after seeing the pious death pose of these experts.
“Greed.” Li Qiye answered: “This shrine isn’t that simple. It is a place for conversion. If you come with greed, don’t think about leaving.”
WIth that, he raised his finger and shot a ray onto an expert meditating in front of the shrine. This expert had died long ago; it was a peaceful death.
“Bang!” The cultivator instantly turned to a golden powder, scattering into the sky.
It wasn’t Li Qiye destroying him. His physical form was already gone despite maintaining the posture. The princess was stunned to see this the scattering remains.
“Someone else wants to die.” Li Qiye chuckled after seeing more visitors before the shrine.
There were already many people waiting before they got here, even some High G.o.ds in the crowd.
Everyone came for the treasures here but a successful attempt has never been recorded before.
“I don’t believe that it’s impossible!” A cultivator dressed in a purple devil robe shouted. This was an expert from the Heaven Race. He had the unique mark of that race on his forehead with a glittering glow. It meant that he was quite powerful.
He couldn’t stay calm after seeing the countless treasures and stepped into the shrine.
“Buzz.” His robe emitted waves of evil lights around him just like protecting rings.
This was an incredible treasure so he felt quite safe with it on. Nothing happened to him after entering the shrine.
“That’s all? Nothing can touch me when I have this devil robe on.” The expert gloated at the inactivity.
“Fool.” The big shots who have been here before sneered.
“All of these treasures are mine!” The expert became ecstatic and rushed for one of the rooms.
In this blink of an eye, his body froze up with his actions seemingly slowing down, as if isolated from this physical realm.
