Chapter 68: Secrets of the Temple 3 (1/2)
The sound of the godly temple’s destruction thundered. The ancestor of the Grand Development Immortal Gate, the Qin Clan’s ancestor, and the Third Lord of the Sen Luo Temple were all supreme masters. Their combined offensive power created three giant dragon tornados that wanted to destroy the whole world.
Feng Feiyun stood on top of the pagoda and looked down at the battle in the distance. While shaking badly, he said:
“The Mortal Life Temple’s abbot killed all of the temple monks for a woman, no wonder why these monks are extremely hateful with their grievances. Even after a thousand years, they still refuse to die.”
This mystery was so unbelievable that if Monk Jiu Rou didn’t reveal it, no one would ever know the reason as to why the Mortal Life Temple was destroyed like this.
“Then, where is the abbot now?”
Monk Jiu Rou sat upright and stared at the ceiling. Then, he answered:
“Already dead!”
“Who killed him?”
Feng Feiyun asked.
“Himself!”
Monk Jiu Rou answered.
“He personally killed himself?”
Feng Feiyun nodded his head and said:
“Sounds about right. He must have felt that his sin was too great so he committed suicide as repentance.”
“That wasn’t quite the case.”
Monk Jiu Rou continued:
“He killed himself to save the woman. He utilized his exceedingly high cultivation to create a grand formation that could reverse life and death. Bodies fell and the temple sunk into the ground — this was just to form an immortal spirit spring water well, in order to make a path for the woman’s survival.”
Monk Jiu Rou seemed to be very familiar with the secrets that year. There was a touch of melancholy between his brows and a sense of buddhist ideals.
“A monk has to be clear of the six desires. This abbot, instead, got caught in the web of love. His death was well deserved…”
Feng Feiyun smilingly spoke. However, he then remembered his own experience. Didn’t he also die because of a woman? It was even more miserable than the abbot’s situation.
Feng Feiyun shut his mouth and didn’t say anything else.
Feng Jianxue’s beautiful pair of eyes shone with a ripple of brilliance and said:
“I think that the abbot was a good monk. He would rather betray everyone in the world instead of her. If someone could do this for me, even if he was a monk, I would still marry him.”
Her big round eyes blinked and stared at Feng Feiyun.
“It seems like Little Sister is truly fit to be a female nun. A monk and nun can become a good pair.”
Feng Feiyun sighed and said.
Feng Jianxue immediately became angry and glared at this damned Feng Feiyun who didn’t understand her heart. He was not even equal to a monk.
“Boom!”
The entire pagoda shivered violently as if it was about to be shook upside down.
A cloud containing a scarlet brilliance exuded from the yellow well as if it was a red star that flew straight up to the high sky. It illuminated the entire godly temple and held an endless power.
The red star hovered in the sky, like a large basin, with bright and sharp light. It carried a strength with the desire to tear apart all living beings and caused the three Giants to be pushed flying away.
“Boom!”
The Third Lord of the Sen Luo Temple was beaten bloody by the light of the red jewel. The flames on his body were extinguished while he was struck far away and created a hole in the ground.
The Grand Development Immortal Gate’s gate master and the Qin Clan’s ancestor were also wounded, blood was shed everywhere. They were trying to find a way to escape from the yellow well. They didn’t dare to take another step forward.
This ancient power was truly frightening! Even Giants couldn’t oppose it and spirit treasures were penetrated as well.
Eventually, everything calmed down and no one dared to make a move again.
“What is this blood star? Why is it so powerful?”
Someone stared at the hovering blood star in the air, only to feel that there were blood drops that hovered around the star. It was as if there were hundreds of spirit spring water drops.
In each of the spirit spring water drops, there was a little sleeping girl — these were the spirits of the drops.
“This blood star is just like a human’s heart. Earlier, I clearly saw it beating.”
“The blood star is absorbing the spirit spring water around it, and its strength is growing.”
***
The several hundred drops of spirit spring water in front of them was like a mountain of treasures. No one was free from temptation. This amount of wealth was staggering. Not to mention a few hundred, even ten drops were enough for a clan to thrive.
The ancient well emitted the sweet fragrance of the spirit spring water and caused the bodies and minds of people to become comfortable. Everything became clear and full of spirit.
Some weren’t able to restrain the temptation of the water and began to step towards the godly temple. However, they didn’t make it within ten zhang before they were already killed by the blood star; not even their corpses remained.
Even the three Giants didn’t dare to carelessly take action. If others were to make a move, it would be the same as heading straight towards death. Seeing spirit treasures yet being unable to seize them — this torturous feeling was the same as killing them.
In the buddhist pagoda, Feng Feiyun naturally wanted to obtain the spirit spring water as well. He summoned his lotus seat formation and wanted to risk his life for the treasure but Monk Jiu Rou grabbed him back.
“Monk, you want to stand in my way of becoming rich?”
