Chapter 1589: Bodhi Buddha's Order

As the sound of scriptures that shook the void rang out, a huge golden light curtain slowly condensed above the Bone City. The light curtain extended to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then slowly fell downwards.

Upon seeing this scene, many cultivators in the Withered Bone City, whether they were from the magic path, immortal cultivators, or people of various races, all turned into streams of light in horror and shot towards the outside of the city.

The Bone City is a lawless place. Not only is there no city defense formation, there is not even a corresponding no-fly ban. All you can see are rays of light shooting out from the city.

Some of those with higher realms left the Bone City in just a few flashes and shot towards the dense forest in the distance.

Those who were not at a high enough level just managed to fly to the city wall, and then they saw the huge golden light curtain, like a huge upside-down golden bowl, directly covering them.

The few who didn't have time to stop actually crashed headfirst into the light curtain. A powerful recoil force came directly from the light curtain, just like a person crashing headfirst into fine iron.

Accompanied by screams, his body was blown away, and he even vomited blood in the air. After landing on the ground, he was already dying.

"The Dry Bone City is a place full of filth and dirt. Today, this Buddha will raze it to the ground and restore peace to the Dry Bone Region." Qinghuan's majestic voice sounded in the void.

It turned out that after Qinghuan blessed the Demon Tomb with the forbidden Buddhist spells, he directly led tens of thousands of Buddhist monks to the Dry Bone Domain. His target was naturally not this small Dry Bone City, but the Demon Soul Sect in the Demon Bone Domain.

Everything that Saint Ancestor Wu Lin did over the past thousand years was clearly imprinted in Qinghuan's mind. As the number one person under the Buddha Master of Wuchen Courtyard and the chief protector of Wuchen Courtyard, he had a persistent heart to slay demons and eliminate evil. Facing Saint Ancestor Wu Lin who might pounce on the Buddhist sect at any time and the huge demonic sect behind him, Qinghuan planned to strike first and make a move in advance before Saint Ancestor Wu Lin came out of retreat, and use the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation to raze the Demon Soul Sect to the ground.

The City of Dry Bones was just a warm-up before the war. Qing Huan had long hated such a disorderly and chaotic place as the City of Dry Bones. Now that he happened to pass by, he naturally would not let it go.

In Buddhism, some people practice the Zen of Nirvana, emphasizing peace and tranquility and saving all living beings, but there are also people who take the path of exorcising demons and purifying the mind, emphasizing the killing of all evil demons and enforcing justice on behalf of heaven. Qinghuan is undoubtedly one of these people.

A large piece of Buddha's light fell down, and within this Buddha's light, there were countless Buddha sect's Great Compassion Divine Thunders hidden. Within the golden light, there were densely packed fist-sized golden light balls. These light balls fell into the Dry Bone City and immediately exploded, as if they were turned into dust under the Great Compassion Divine Thunder. Inside the houses and on the streets, no matter whether it was people or animals, after being swept by the exploding golden light, they were immediately swept by extremely high temperature and turned into ashes.

This kind of tragic scene is probably worse than the Senluo Hell. Many monks from the Wuchen Academy in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array above showed expressions of pity, but Qinghuan's face was expressionless, and there was only coldness in his eyes.

In just a moment, everything in the City of Dry Bones was razed to the ground. There was no living creature in the city.

"Amitabha~" Qinghuan chanted the Buddha's name at this time, then slowly stretched out his right palm, and with a flash of golden light, he slowly pressed down.

The void suddenly tightened, and endless golden light gathered together in a spiral shape, and then turned into a palm. The palm grew bigger and bigger, and soon became a thousand miles in size, pressing down towards the already dilapidated Skeleton City below.

"Boom~~" There was a burst of void, and the entire Skeleton City, including the present, was covered by this huge Buddha's palm. The power of this palm directly flattened the entire city and sank it to a depth of several feet.

The City of Dry Bones vanished into thin air, lost in the long river of history.

Far away, those monks who had managed to escape with their lives all looked at the city that had been intact just a moment ago with horror, and it turned into nothingness in an instant. They all felt a chill in their hearts, and looked at the Buddhist disciples filling the sky above with fear.

"Let's go~~" As if doing something insignificant, Qinghuan waved his sleeves, and the golden light in the sky quickly converged, and then turned into a golden cloud, flying towards the distance. In just a breath, it disappeared without a trace.

"A city is gone just like that?"

"Is the Buddhist sect crazy? This is totally inconsistent with their usual style of doing things."

"I know that person. He is Qing Huan, the head guardian of the Wuchen Court of the Great Bodhi Temple. He is ruthless and merciless to us demon cultivators. Judging from where they are going, are they going to start a war with us demon cultivators?"

"The battle between Buddha and Demon has been inevitable since Saint Ancestor Wu Lin destroyed the White Buddha Temple a thousand years ago. I didn't expect the Buddha Sect to be so fierce and actually take the initiative to attack. Judging from the direction they are heading, could it be the Demon Soul Sect?"

"The Lonely Sun Continent is going to be bustling, and we, the independent cultivators, will bear the brunt. Sigh, even though we are demons, we also want to live a peaceful life for a few days. Is that difficult?"

Inside the demon's tomb, the air was filled with demonic energy. Daowu looked at a thumb-sized pebble-like relic in front of him that was shining with a faint golden light on a dry skeleton and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, it's actually the Vajra Relic. I didn't expect that I would find it so easily." Daowu could hardly hold back and dance with joy. The Vajra Relics are formed when a Buddhist practitioner transforms his golden body into merit before passing away. Although most of the merit will be lost in the process, what remains is undoubtedly the most essential.

If a Buddhist or Taoist monk could obtain a Vajra Relic, it would be like an ordinary cultivator obtaining a top-grade elixir, and it would be very common for his magic power to increase dramatically overnight.

More importantly, the Buddhist relics usually contain the remnants of the supernatural powers of the Buddha before he was born. Once integrated, it is possible to comprehend the secret Buddhist supernatural powers that the owner of the relics practiced during his lifetime. For Buddhist practitioners, Vajra relics are extremely precious.

Daowu was unwilling to be an ordinary monk all his life, so he thought of entering the Demon Tomb. Now the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation outside had surrounded the Demon Tomb, and he could not get out. So he simply made up his mind and went straight into the Demon Tomb. As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger, so he decided to take the risk.

Unexpectedly, just a hundred feet into the demon's tomb, he saw the corpse of a monk who had passed away. Judging from the color and degree of jadeification of the bones, this man was at least a third-level Buddha during his lifetime. The Vajra relics he left behind would definitely be of great benefit to him.

Daowu picked up the Vajra Relic from the ground, observed it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

Then he sat cross-legged next to the skeleton, closed his eyes, and felt the warmth coming from his body. It spread throughout his body in an instant, and the feeling of comfort made him almost shout out.

The surging merits turned into golden juice, with the chest and abdomen as the core, flowing to the limbs and bones. After flowing through the meridians of the whole body, it was slowly injected into his primordial spirit, and then merged into his newly formed golden body.

I saw a golden shadow slowly emerging behind him, sitting in meditation with lotus in his hands. As golden lights flashed above him, he became clearer and clearer.

I don’t know how long it took, but Daowu suddenly opened his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"The Vajra Relic is indeed worthy of its reputation. In just such a short period of time, my cultivation has been greatly improved. If I didn't need to break through my own bottleneck, I would have directly entered the Second Fruit Realm."

Daowu felt the powerful Buddha power in his body, and at the same time, he clearly felt that the Vajra relic he had swallowed had only absorbed more than half of the merits. It would take some time for the remaining merits contained in his body to be fully absorbed. However, he was not in a hurry. After accumulating for some time, he would use the power of the undigested merits to break through the current realm in one fell swoop.

He came to the skeleton and searched again, looking for the other two kinds of relics. He did not find anything until the skeleton was scattered all over the ground.

Daowu sighed, but was able to quickly accept this result. When a high-ranking Buddhist monk passed away, the chance of condensing relics was very small. After the vast majority of Buddhist practitioners passed away, their own golden bodies of merit and virtue would also dissipate, and no relics would be left behind.

Dao Wu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said to himself, "This is only the outer layer of the Demon Tomb, and we can find a Vajra relic. So there may be higher-level relics inside."

Thinking of this, Daowu immediately couldn't wait to continue walking towards the demon's tomb.

After walking about ten feet, Daowu was startled by the sound of "crash" under his feet. He looked down hurriedly, only to see a pile of bones.

The demon tomb was filled with a cold demonic aura. Although Daowu was at the first level of enlightenment, he could only see clearly about three or four feet around him. He was so focused on walking just now that he didn't even pay attention to his feet. However, when he saw the white bones, he was delighted and began to search around hurriedly.

After searching for about a cup of tea, he stood up in disappointment, obviously without any gain.

Daowu was not discouraged. He mustered up his courage and continued walking towards the demon's tomb.

The further he walked in, the colder Daowu felt in his heart. For some reason, when he looked at the darkness in front of him, he felt like he was walking towards hell.

The ancient demon soul is sealed inside the demon tomb. If you go in rashly, wouldn't you be walking into a trap?

But he changed his mind and said to himself, "Humph, that demon soul has been suppressed here for countless years. Although it is immortal, if it really has unparalleled demonic power, it would not have been imprisoned until now. As long as I am careful, I think it will be fine. As long as I find a few more Vajra relics, I will find a secret place, retreat and meditate until I have achieved success in my cultivation, and then come out. By then, those guys in Wuchen Court will dare to look down on me, right?"

Daowu plucked up his courage and continued moving forward. After walking a few dozen feet, he saw a stone gate appear in front of him. Every once in a while, golden runes flashed on the stone gate, appearing from bottom to top and then disappearing.

In front of the door, there were three dried skeletons sitting cross-legged, and under each of the three skeletons was a Buddha head token.

Seeing the three Buddha head tokens, Daowu was surprised. He hurried over, picked up a Buddha head token, and looked at it carefully.

"Is it really the Bodhi Buddha Head Order?" The Bodhi Buddha Head Order is the supreme token of the Great Bodhi Temple, which is usually only in the hands of a few Buddhas. Daowu had never thought that there would be such a treasure in this demon tomb. Then he looked at the three dried bones.

"Could it be that these three people were the former Buddhas of the Mahabodhi Temple?" Daowu's heart was burning with anxiety, and he immediately lowered his head to search under the skeleton. He opened two skeletons in succession, but found nothing. When he opened the third skeleton with some disappointment, a ball of golden light lit up in the dim corridor.

"Essence relic?" Looking at the Essence relic that exuded enormous spiritual intelligence, Daowu's face showed great joy.

The Essence Relics gather the original spirit of the Buddhist cultivator during his lifetime and contain powerful divine thoughts. After refining it, one can greatly enhance one's own spiritual awareness while also strengthening one's own spirit, laying a solid foundation for advancing to a higher realm.

"Huh?" After putting the essence relic into the star ring, Daowu looked up and saw the stone gate. As runes flowed, he actually saw three grooves.

These three grooves all reveal the center of the scriptures, and are all in the shape of Buddha's head.

This made Daowu's heart move, and he immediately thought, could these three Bodhi Buddha orders be the key to open the stone door? But looking at the stone door, Daowu hesitated again.

Because behind this stone door, the ancient demon soul might be sealed. If he opened it rashly, he would be attacked by the demon soul. Although Daowu's aptitude was not good, his IQ was not low. He picked up the three Bodhi Buddha Head Orders, but did not open the stone door immediately. Instead, he searched the surroundings.

Soon he saw many scriptures on the stone wall next to him. These scriptures were obviously pressed down by the supreme power of Buddha and penetrated into the stone wall. Therefore, although they have passed for who knows how many years, they are still vivid.

This kind of ancient text was not difficult for Daowu. Although his progress in cultivation was slow, he was naturally intelligent and had studied these ancient texts before, so he could easily understand the content.

After reading the contents written on the stone wall, Daowu finally understood.

It turns out that this stone gate, named Vajra Gate, is a restriction created by Buddhist monks using supreme Buddhist secrets combined with Buddhist formations. Its function is to suppress demonic energy and prevent the true demonic energy from leaking out.

But it is obvious that after countless years of corrosion, the Vajra Gate has gradually lost its function, because the corridor is already filled with demonic energy.

In order to open this Vajra Gate, two conditions are required. One is three Bodhi Buddha head orders to open the mechanism, and the other is to perform the Buddhist sect's eighty-one Vajra Seals to open it.

After understanding this, Daowu was delighted. He got the three Bodhi Buddha Head Tokens without any effort. As for the Buddhist sect's eighty-one Vajra Seals, it was also one of the secret magical powers of the Bodhi Temple. Daowu, as a disciple of the Wuchen Court of the Bodhi Temple, happened to practice this Vajra Seal.

This made him look surprised, it seemed that he should have this opportunity.
