Chapter 1567: Lone Sun Continent

Chapter 1567: Lone Sun Continent

"Our village is called Buffalo Village, and the mountain is called Jinxia Mountain. On the ninth day of every September, golden rays of light will appear on the mountain. I heard that there are gods there?" A little boy seemed to be the bravest among the children. He spoke and talked a lot.

Xiao Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this. Golden glow? Could it be that there are immortal cultivators on the Golden Glow Mountain?

This also aroused Xiao Lin's interest. Then Xiao Lin sensed that there were several people running towards this side in the distance. They were probably the adults of these children's families. Xiao Lin did not want to meet those adults, so he called out to Xiao Hei through his spiritual sense. Xiao Hei immediately rolled up a black light and took Xiao Lin into the sky. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Several children immediately stared at the void in a daze. After a long time, a voice was heard: "Are they immortals?"

"Gods really do exist. When I grow up, I want to become one."

At this moment, Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei had already flown hundreds of miles and appeared in the void dozens of miles in front of a mountain.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, because there was a stone path from the foot of the mountain to the top, with thousands of steps, and at the end of the path, there were rows of magnificent temples.

It was already sunset, but the sound of chanting could still be heard coming from the temple. Xiao Lin could also smell the rich scent of sandalwood.

“There’s a Buddhist temple here?”

"Could this be the Solitary Sun Continent?" Xiao Lin thought of a possibility. He had read about it in an ancient book in Mitian Palace. To the west of the Holy Moon Continent, if one crossed the boundless and ferocious ocean, one could reach a new continent, the Solitary Sun Continent. It was rumored that Buddhism was flourishing on the Solitary Sun Continent, and powerful Buddhists were everywhere.

If the area he was in was really the Lonely Sun Continent, then it would be troublesome. Given his current condition, let alone losing all his magic power, even if his magic power was restored, it would be very dangerous to cross the Savage Ocean.

However, Xiao Lin learned from his elder brother Huan Tianmou that he could return to the Holy Moon Continent through the super cross-domain teleportation array in the Xianfan Sea. But Xiao Lin did not know where the super cross-domain teleportation array on the Holy Moon Continent was, and Huan Tianmou had never told him about it.

"Golden Light Meditation?" The last four words left by Chu Wu in the ancient book of experience suddenly emerged in Xiao Lin's mind. These four words seemed to be the key to breaking through the super-first-grade realm.

From these four words, Xiao Lin had originally thought of the Buddhist sect. However, inside the cave, he had not thought that these four words left by Chu Wu would be related to the Buddhist sect. It was only when he was teleported here through the teleportation sphere and encountered the Buddhist sect again that everything seemed to fit together. The golden light meditation that Chu Wu mentioned might be the secret technique of the Buddhist sect.

"Does it mean that I need to practice the Golden Light Meditation in order to truly complete the fusion of the sea of ​​blood and the heart and advance to the super-first level?" Xiao Lin's heart was warmed. Now that he had a clue, he would find a way to obtain the practice method of the Golden Light Meditation first.

But Xiao Lin also became a little worried. When he was in the mortal world, he and the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong once destroyed the Xiji Ancient Buddha Tianzong. It can be said that it was the life and death enemy of the Buddha Sect. He wondered if there were any survivors from the Buddha Sect back then. If they also ascended to the Lonely Sun Continent, it would be very troublesome for him to encounter them.

"Now that I'm here, I'll make the best of it." Xiao Lin's state of mind has changed a lot. The Buddhist practice requires spreading the power of faith, and then collecting the power of the devout faith of believers to strengthen his own spirit.

This practice is actually a kind of plundering of mortals. After ten days, many mortals will lose themselves and their original hearts, and become a state where they only know how to seek help from Buddha but do not think about making progress. At the same time, it will also greatly weaken their own soul power. In the end, even after death from old age, their souls will not be able to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

This is the reason why Xiao Lin has no good feelings towards Buddhism.

But the magical powers of the Buddhist sect are extraordinary, and their various magical skills all possess immense power. When Xiao Lin dealt with the Ancient Buddha Tian Sect of the West, he had experienced the various magical powers of the Buddhist sect, which left a deep impression on him.

Xiao Lin naturally had no intention of joining the Buddhist sect. After thinking for a moment, he let Xiao Hei enter the beast ring. He then landed at the foot of the mountain and walked towards the Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain as a mortal.

The Buddhist practitioners should not be underestimated. They gather the power of faith to strengthen their primordial spirit. Although it is not as good as the Bu Tian Sutra practiced by Xiao Lin, it is also one of the very few practices in the world that can strengthen the primordial spirit.

Therefore, Xiao Lin did not dare to use his huge spiritual power to investigate the truth in the temple, but went there as a pilgrim.

Along the way, there were many devout men and women coming from all over, all of them with pious faces, walking towards the mountain. There were even many devout believers who knelt every three steps and knocked their heads every nine steps. They were even unaware of the blood on their foreheads, and still walked towards the mountain with determined eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin shook his head secretly. The heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs. Since there is no major conflict of interest between immortal cultivators and ordinary mortals, and most of them are also born from mortals, they will not only not harm mortals, but most of them will also slay demons and protect ordinary mortals in the name of doing justice.

But Xiao Lin also understood that immortal cultivators were not good people. In order to improve their cultivation, they would hunt monsters. In the process, they would not only improve their combat experience, but also obtain various materials for alchemy and refining from the monsters.

After all, it is also driven by interests.

The same is true for the Demonic Path and the Buddhist Sect. In order to practice magic skills, the demonic practitioners need to devour the souls and blood of mortals, or use the souls of mortals to refine magic tools. The Buddhist Sect is relatively secretive and gentle. It preaches Buddhism and teaches people to be good, but in fact it uses these doctrines to control believers and collect the power of faith of believers.

After gathering enough power of faith, Buddhist monks can not only strengthen their own spirits and cultivate protective Buddha light, but also use the powerful spirit to display various Buddhist and Taoist magical powers.

However, this practice of collecting the power of faith is extremely harmful to ordinary people. Those who are too devout may even exhaust their soul power. When their lifespan runs out, their power will disappear into thin air.

Although there are not many such people, the number of mortals they kill is only slightly less than that of the demons.

Xiao Lin had no good feelings towards the Buddhist monks, but he was very interested in some of their magical powers. The Three Thousand Great Ways all lead to the path to immortality. Xiao Lin did not reject the many cultivation methods that remained in the world, and he also wanted to learn from the strengths of all schools in order to improve his own realm and understanding of the origin of this world.

While thinking, two hours passed before Xiao Lin followed many devout pilgrims into the temple.

There were quite a few monks in the temple, coming and going in a hurry. Xiao Lin could tell from a glance that these monks were not at a high level, most of them were at the initial stage of acquaintance, and only a few of the leaders had barely advanced to the great awakening stage, which was equivalent to the foundation-building stage in the world of immortal cultivation.

To Xiao Lin, it was not worth mentioning.

Xiao Lin followed the crowd and toured the huge temple intentionally or unintentionally. What disappointed him was that even the abbot of this temple was only at the realm of Buddha's light. This made Xiao Lin have no worries. The huge power of his spiritual consciousness radiated out instantly, covering the entire Buddhist temple in the blink of an eye.

Everything about the Buddhist temple appeared in Xiao Lin's mind without hiding anything.

As Xiao Lin expected, the people with the highest realm in Jinxia Temple were the abbot and the two white-haired elders, all of whom were in the early stage of Buddha Light Realm. People at this realm were naturally unable to sense Xiao Lin's consciousness, and naturally could not discover Xiao Lin's existence.

After learning all this, Xiao Lin was somewhat disappointed. Could it be that the land beneath his feet was not the Solitary Sun Continent? The real Solitary Sun Continent was rumored to be a paradise for Buddhists, with eminent monks and Bodhi Arhats everywhere, and Buddhas could be seen everywhere.

But Xiao Lin did not intend to leave. Instead, he disappeared without a trace in a flash.

In a secluded Zen room, an old monk was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, holding a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in his mouth and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

After a moment, the old monk seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes. He saw a young man about twenty years old in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

The old monk was shocked in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Whoever is the donor, if you want to burn incense and pray, please go to the incense burner outside."

"Old monk, I come here not to offer you the power of faith, but to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer truthfully, I will leave on my own afterwards and will not be your enemy." The person who came was Xiao Lin, and there was a chill in his words. It was obvious that if the old monk in front of him did not cooperate, Xiao Lin would have to use some means.

The old monk was not stupid. The visitor was able to enter his meditation room silently, and he could not sense the person's realm at all. In other words, the person's true realm was probably unfathomable. Even if all the Buddhist practitioners in the Jinxia Temple came, they might not be able to defeat this person.

"What's the matter, benefactor? Just tell me. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth." The old monk was also a sensible person. After weighing the situation, he immediately behaved himself.

"Old monk, where is this place?"

"This is Jinxia Temple on Jinxia Mountain, and I am Yuankong."

"I'm not asking you this, but what region does the Jinxia Temple in Jinxia Mountain belong to? What is the name of this continent?" Xiao Lin's face condensed and he asked, his voice already revealing a bit of impatience and coldness.

"Don't blame me, my talent is dull and I didn't understand your intention. This is the Golden Light Region. The Golden Light Region is located in the boundless ocean in the southeast corner of the Lonely Sun Continent. It is an isolated region overseas. The Buddha's light of our Buddhist sect only illuminates a small part of the Golden Light Region. Most of the area is still controlled by the Wuman people."

"Wu Man Ren?" It was the first time that Xiao Lin heard this name, but from the words of the old monk in front of him, he could tell that this Wu Man Ren must be the mortal enemy of the Buddhist monks, and the two sides must be at loggerheads.

"Are the Wuman people a race?" Xiao Lin asked after thinking about it for a while.

The old monk was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization: "Could it be that the donor is not from the Golden Light Region and traveled here by chance? But anyone from the Lone Sun Continent is probably aware of Wu Man."

Seeing the impatience on Xiao Lin's face, Monk Yuankong immediately began to introduce Xiao Lin.

It turns out that the Wuman people are a race. It is rumored that they are the descendants of the Wu clan and ferocious beasts. They are savage and murderous by nature, and their bodies are very strong. An adult Wuman can even easily smash a hill with one punch. Moreover, the Wuman people have inherited the blood of ferocious beasts and possess various magical powers of ancient ferocious beasts. Of course, not every Wuman person has this magical power. Only a small number of Wuman people who have awakened the blood of ancient ferocious beasts can unlock this talent.

Since the Wuman people were not receptive to education and always believed in their fists, did not believe in Buddhism, and were bloodthirsty and liked to harm living beings, the Buddhist sect, in line with the purpose of exorcising demons, launched an attack on the Wuman people in order to protect the many believers of Buddhism.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If it were someone else, he might really be moved by the words of the sanctimonious old monk in front of him. However, Xiao Lin had dealt with the Buddhist sect in the mortal world, so he naturally knew that the Wuman people mentioned by the old monk were strangled by the Buddhist sect. The most fundamental reason was probably that they did not respect the teachings and were unwilling to believe in the Buddhist sect.

"What other forces are there in the Solitary Sun Continent? Tell me about them all." Xiao Lin had just arrived and wanted to understand some of the power divisions in the Solitary Sun Continent so that he would have a better idea.

Unexpectedly, the old monk smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and said, "You think too highly of me, benefactor. The Lonely Sun Continent is vast and boundless, with many races and various forces. The Jinxia Temple that I am in charge of is just a small temple in a remote place in the Golden Light Region. I have spent most of my life and have never traveled all over the Golden Light Region, let alone the Lonely Sun Continent, which is countless times larger. But I do know one thing, the Lonely Sun Continent is very prosperous, with various huge Buddhist and Taoist sects everywhere, and there are countless Buddhist masters, but I will never have the chance to go there in this lifetime."

When Xiao Lin heard what Yuan Kong said, he knew that what he said was probably not a lie, and what he heard was not a secret, so there was no need to lie.

This made Xiao Lin feel a little disappointed, because he did not get what he wanted to know, but it was not completely fruitless either, at least he finally knew where he was, which was the rumored holy land of Buddhism - the Lonely Sun Continent.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel bitter. It seemed that the journey home was still a long way off.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured directly into the sea of ​​consciousness between the eyebrows of the old monk in front of him, directly erasing his previous memory. When he woke up tomorrow, Monk Yuankong would only think that he fell asleep while chanting.

As for Xiao Lin's whereabouts, with a flash of black light, he and Xiao Hei disappeared without a trace.
