”It's here!” Luo Haiyun shouted in excitement, pointing to a dilapidated Buddha statue.
The statue was enormous. It's head alone was more than three meters high. Unfortunately, the head had already fallen to the ground, and the body, which sat in a lotus position, was weathered.
”Wow, they built such a huge Buddha statue! The temple is really large!”
”The cultivators in antiquity times all had extraordinary Divine Sense. Building a giant statue like this was like lifting a finger!” Golden Rooster turned to Luo Haiyun and asked, ”Is this the underground palace you were talking about?! How do we get in?”
Luo Haiyun brought out a glittering bead from his pocket and showed it to the two.
”Is this Sarira?!” Golden Rooster recognized it as soon as Luo Haiyun took it out, ”I can't believe you have such good stuff!”
”The Sarira was left by the venerable monk who fled from the Small Thunder Temple; I got it together with the kasaya. It was used to open the underground palace!”
”He was so considerate!” Looking at the Sarira the size of a pigeon's egg, Junior Leopard was confused. ”How can a man's bone be so smooth and round?”
But he didn't have time to think about the question, because the Sarira in Luo Haiyun's hand began to transform.
The wind in the space was not strong; it could be called a breeze at most. However, it was a gust of wind that turned the Sarira into ash. Certainly, it was unexpected, especially for Luo Haiyun, who was extremely anxious.
”Don't panic, it seems to be changing!”
As expected, the sand-like Sarira didn't drift far. It converged in front of the statue's head and formed a gleaming vortex.
”Another separate space!” With a flicker of intelligence in his eyes, Junior Leopard understood the change at once.
The gleaming vortex was actually a passageway leading to an unknown space. Compared to the former passageway they had gone through, this one was much more magnificent, and it was far more superb than the space in Hollow Magic Carpet.
”So can we go in?!” Golden Rooster asked Junior Leopard.
”Sure! Why else would we be here?!” Junior Leopard smiled, then went straight towards the vortex with Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun following behind.
Enveloped in the vortex, Junior Leopard noticed immediately that the space was reversed. Feeling his heart tighten, he turned on his spiritual mind and tried to absorb all the abstruse space turbulence. He had some knowledge about space, although it was still somewhat sparse. He was also able to use Space Division Skill as well as Three Realms Division, but it was just to practice. If he wanted to grasp the real secret of space, he needed to experience things like this. Just like the Guiding Light that had been coming from the Ancient Ruins when they entered, and this translucent vortex passageway; all of which, the boundless turbulence and changes brought by various techniques, were Light coming from the Ancient Ruins.
”Here we are!”
Immersed in the mysterious turbulent tracks of space, Junior Leopard suddenly heard the voice of Golden Rooster.
He brought his thoughts back promptly.
The green lamp and the ancient Buddha!
The green lamp and the ancient Buddha!
That was his first and only impression of the underground palace of Small Thunder Temple.
The green lamp, with its beam-like lights, was radiating dark yellow flame.
Against the bluestone wall stood a long lifesize Buddha statue.
The underground palace was square, with a height of no more than seven meters. Junior Leopard estimated that it was about 50 or 60 square meters in total.
Depressing!
There was nothing except the green lamp and the ancient Buddha.
They looked at the green lamp, and the soybean-like flame shimmered in their eyes.
No matter what it was, they were in a thousand-year-old underground palace from antiquity times. It was sure-fire that this green lamp which had been burning for so many years was a treasure.
”It must be a treasure!” Compared to Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster's discretion, there was no hesitation in Luo Haiyun's heart. His family was ruined, and his only aim was to take revenge on the Wang family. Certainly, he would never miss a chance to strengthen his power. He affirmed the green lamp was a precious item as soon as he saw it and couldn't help reaching for it.
”Be careful!” Both Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster screamed in warning, but it was too late.
”Aaaugh--!” His scream rang out before his hand even touched the lamp. With a flicker of yellow light, Junior Leopard faintly saw Luo Haiyun's seizing hand vanish immediately. He discovered that Luo Haiyun's hand had vaporized.
There was no bloodstain on or near his broken wrist. The blood had also been vaporized.
”Damn!” Cursing silently, Golden Rooster held Luo Haiyun and put medicine on his wounds.
”This really is a treasure, but it won't be easy to take with us!” Junior Leopard stepped forward slowly to peer at the statue, then sighed.
At that moment, the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian flicked, and then the Gang Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire began to surge abruptly.
HISS!
Junior Leopard hissed fiercely like a snake, his face turned a ghastly white. He didn't stand firm until he fell back some steps.
”What happened?!” Golden Rooster asked Junior Leopard at once, noticing his pale face.
”This damn lamp, it seems like it conflicts with my Internal Qi!”
”What?!”
He had hardly finished speaking when the green lamp gave out a flicker of dark light and then disappeared before their eyes. The entire underground palace was in complete darkness.
”What happened ?! Where's the light?” Luo Haiyun cried out.
The three were all experts above Level Seven, with excellent eyesight. They could clearly see everything in the underground palace without light, but how exactly had the lamp disappeared? They all missed it.
”I don't know, it just disappeared suddenly!” Junior Leopard said honestly, and this was true. But he was clear that another green lamp had emerged in his Dantian when the green lamp disappeared. He was unclear how it had happened and what it would bring about. But if the green lamp was in his Dantian and he was safe now rather than being vaporized, perhaps it meant that there would be no great danger?!
”Treasures from antiquity times are always divine, maybe we just don't have the luck to possess them!” Golden Rooster sighed. ”This is the underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple, it's not surprising to find strange things. We should look for other treasures!”
Junior Leopard and Luo Haiyun did not answer. Luo Haiyun's look was even more disgraced than before. Before entering, he had still had a strong body. But now? His hope of avenging his family was ruined.
All of them were cautious this time. Their search in this empty underground palace was also very watchful. No one wanted to repeat Luo Haiyun's mistake. y blow.
They searched for an hour but found nothing. The area was not large. It was constructed of ordinary bluestone which made a dull sound when they knocked on it. There were no special hidden grids or patterns, never mind treasures.
”We could bring the Buddha back, it's not too big!” When they couldn't think of anything else, Junior Leopard mentioned this idea. He looked at the Buddha.
The small green lamp had done such powerful damage, what would happen with the big Buddha statue?
A small green lamp had so powerful damage, how about the big Buddha statue?
Therefore, despite his suggestion, Junior Leopard did not move; the other two did not either. They just looked at the Buddha statue as if they wanted to see through it.
”Hehe, you small guys are really interesting. But there is nothing in the Buddha statue, it would be useless to move it back!”
