A Deity's Ritual Ground
After the bell waves disappeared, the light here grew dim.
Chu Feng didn't act rashly. His bones were creaking incessantly when the faint golden Buddhist radiance surged, as if they were being hammered. His body was resonating with them.
As for the Snow Leopard, his body was convulsing and his face was pale. The Buddhist energy seemed to be a natural counter to the otherworldlings.
The Himalayas were very cold at night, so cold that it was bone-chilling. Snowflakes drifted down from the dark sky, accompanied by the whistling of the cold wind. It sounded like the roars of wild dragons and the howls of tigers.
Only a corner of the ancient temple was exposed. It was built with black stones that had been eroded and hammered by the passage of time. Who knew how many eras it had been here?
"It's said that it has a history of at least six or seven thousand years," said the Snow Leopard.
Back then, during the great war between the East and the West, the Peacock King and the Golden Crow had chased after the ancient Yoga Master Fanlin from India and discovered this place.
The two top-notch bird kings wanted to kill their way in but were heavily injured. In the end, they took away a few bricks and stones and asked specialists to examine them. They concluded that this place had existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
The bones in Chu Feng's body no longer creaked. He cautiously walked forward and began to clean up the accumulated snow while observing the area.
Even though the entire ancient temple had appeared before the historical records and its productivity was very backward, it wasn't small at all. On the contrary, it was quite grand.
Chu Feng and the Snow Leopard were quite astonished. The dark temple appeared solemn and dignified, emanating a majestic aura even at night.
There were no words on the bronze board, only a Bodhi tree.
In Buddhism, this was the tree of wisdom. It was also known as the Tree of Enlightenment because the Buddhas had achieved great enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
"Words didn't appear during that period, right?" asked the Snow Leopard.
Chu Feng shook his head. "There's a gap in history. Many things can't be said accurately."
During this process, neither he nor the Snow Leopard King used the energy within their bodies. That was because they had discovered that any careless movements would cause the ancient temple to resonate and emit Buddhist radiance.
If this ancient temple had been discovered before the upheaval and those scientists learned of it, it would have been a huge piece of news. It would have been studied repeatedly.
Although Chu Feng was surprised, he wasn't too shocked or confused. Even the beasts could speak, so what else was impossible?
"How worrisome." The Snow Leopard King sighed. The Old Llama and the others had disappeared for more than 20 days and had yet to come out. It was really worrying.
Chu Feng also frowned. After arriving here, he did not hear any movement at all. The ancient temple was so quiet that it was hard not to have bad associations.
The temple was huge, but if there were people inside, there shouldn't be no sound at all. It was too quiet, like a lifeless area.
The door of the temple was tightly shut. It was made of bodhi wood wrapped in bronze. In some places, the bronze had fallen off, but the exposed wood had not rotted.
After clearing the wind and snow, Chu Feng repeatedly measured the nearby area and studied the terrain. The results were unquestionable. The geomagnetic field here was very abnormal. Sometimes it was frighteningly high, and sometimes it was very low.
"A natural domain only needs to be slightly set up to absorb the free energy particles between heaven and earth and form all kinds of unfathomable scenes."
Chu Feng had recently studied the Domain Heavenly Book and had reached the beginner level. He was extremely talented in this field, even more so than those who had walked the path of evolution.
His current foundation wasn't weak, and it could even be said that his insight was unique. Although he couldn't see through the details of this place, he was still able to figure out a thing or two.
At this time, it was already deep into the night. There was still some faint light on the snowy ground.
"I'll go in and take a look. You wait here," said Chu Feng. He wanted to go in alone and walked toward the door of the ancient temple.
The Snow Leopard King followed him and said, "No, there's something wrong with your body. I'll go in with you. At least we can look after each other."
Chu Feng shook his head. "Whether or not we can charge in safely isn't a matter of strength. The old llama's cultivation is so high, but he still hasn't come out. There's no point in you taking the risk with me."
The wooden door wrapped in bronze was pushed open. The creaking sound was somewhat special in the cold wind. It was as though it had broken the deathly stillness of the snowy mountain. Strands of faint golden light flowed out from the crack of the door.
This was somewhat miraculous. There was actually light seeping out from the temple in the darkness outside.
Chu Feng didn't dare to use his energy because he had already experienced it before. The bell waves would shake one's body and spirit. Ordinary people would find it difficult to endure.
He pushed with all his might and the door opened completely. The inside was filled with light like a faint golden sun. It was sacred and tranquil.
"Eh?!" Chu Feng was astonished.
The interior of the ancient temple was like a completely different world. It was suffused with auspicious splendor, and there were dried-up springs and withered bodhi trees. There were also fallen broken bronze bells, broken alms bowls, broken demon vanquishing pestles, and so on.
There was no ice or snow here and it was as warm as spring. It was like a different world and somewhat divine. It was just that the scenery was dilapidated and dilapidated.
In summary, this place was like a piece of ruins. It was dilapidated and silent, but it was also bright. It was like a place of worship abandoned by the gods.
The Snow Leopard King also followed in and revealed a shocked expression. From the outside, this ancient temple was sealed and dark. There were no courtyard walls, and one couldn't see the courtyard. Behind the door was a hall.
But after entering, it was a different world. It was very warm here and wasn't cold at all. There was no wind or snow, and when he raised his head to look at the sky, it was also a faint golden color.
"Enchantment!" Chu Feng said.
There was a heavenly passage within the ancient temple. It was a different world, and this place was isolated from the outside world.
Here, the Snow Leopard King couldn't help but tremble. The power of the Buddhist sect was still very obvious when it came to suppressing beasts. Although it was divine, it was also terrifying.
Chu Feng was still fine. Although he also felt the formless pressure, it wasn't like the Snow Leopard King.
"If you can't do it, you can go out first. I'll go find them myself," Chu Feng said. He could see that the Snow Leopard King wasn't in a good state. His body was tense and he was about to reveal his true form.
Hong …
As the Snow Leopard King struggled, the pressure became greater and greater. In the end, the bell rang again. He was covered in sweat and was about to collapse on the spot.
Weng!
At the critical moment, Chu Feng's back glowed. It was precisely that sonic bow. The gentle radiance spread out from within and enveloped Chu Feng. At the same time, it also enveloped the Snow Leopard King, calming him down.
This shocked the two of them. They looked at each other in dismay. Although the bow was extraordinary, it wasn't a god-killing weapon. They didn't expect it to be so useful here.
"The energy of the Buddhist sect is gentle towards those who have Buddhist items. It doesn't suppress them," Chu Feng said. This could only be the reason.
"Forget it, I won't go in. I'll wait for you outside. A Buddhist item might not be able to protect the two of us," the Snow Leopard King said. He was afraid that he would drag Chu Feng down.
"Stay further away from here. I'll be careful of any changes." Chu Feng reminded him.
"Okay!" The Snow Leopard King turned around and left.
As he left, the bell stopped ringing.
Chu Feng walked in. This place was bright and peaceful. If it wasn't for the broken walls, rubble, and broken items, it would really look like a celestial paradise.
After walking for 300 meters, there was an ancient wooden fish on the ground. However, it had long been broken into pieces. The stone Buddha was black as if it had been soaked in blood. This place was a little different. There was a strange aura about it!
Chu Feng's heart trembled. He started to be careful. Back then, this old temple had been abandoned. Maybe there was some dangerous secret.
Kacha!
After arriving here, when Chu Feng took another step, lightning suddenly appeared. They interweaved in the air and crackled, causing him to stumble.
Luckily, this wasn't a fatal attack.
Chu Feng's expression was solemn. He retreated. In the end, this place became quiet again. He started to observe every inch of the land and study the ruins that were rippling with Buddhist light.
The ground was cracked and the tiles were like metal. The broken walls were emitting wisps of hazy smoke.
The ground was full of potholes and there were some black magnetic stones under the ruins. Some of them were buried underground and some were exposed, but they were all broken.
Chu Feng's heart was shaken. He crouched down and studied these stones in detail. They might be materials for deploying domains.
Some of the magnetic stones were black while others were shiny. There were patterns on them, but it was unknown what kind of power had damaged them. The patterns were broken and destroyed.
He walked around in a circle and found that there were dozens of magnetic stones under the earth. Only one of them could be considered intact, and the others were beyond recognition.
Chu Feng drew in a breath of cold air. This meant that the domains here weren't even a tenth of the original, but they could still be filled with lightning and mysterious energy. How terrifying was this?
"That's not right either. The more magnetic stones there are, the more powerful their combined energy will be. The domains here are insignificant compared to before."
Chu Feng's heart was shaken. He couldn't imagine what kind of scene this place would be like when all the magnetic stones were intact.
He took a deep breath and took a step forward once again. Crackling sounds rang out as lightning struck down, causing Chu Feng's body to sway and scorch marks to appear on his body.
He moved quickly and used the things he had learned from the Domain Heavenly Book to search for a way out.
As expected, he found the right path after taking a few more lightning strikes. He took a few turns in the ruins and walked forward in a roundabout manner. He was no longer struck by lightning after walking for half a kilometer.
But his expression changed when he arrived at the front. The sound of thunder was deafening and rumbling.
There were tattered golden arhats and benevolent stone Bodhisattvas floating several meters above the ground. It was quite odd as they were completely motionless.
The sounds of thunder and Buddhist light interweaved within the ruins. It was a terrifying sight.
"A battle took place here in the past. The Buddhist sect abandoned this place." Chu Feng revealed a serious expression.
There were still some remnants of the domains here. They absorbed the energy of the heaven and earth and allowed various objects to float in the air. At the same time, this place was becoming increasingly dangerous.
He observed the terrain and found that the nearby areas were also full of potholes. The strange soil and jet-black stones were all in tatters, but they could still form domains.
Chu Feng believed that this place must have been prosperous in the past with Buddhist light illuminating the mountains and valleys. That was because if this place was intact, the power of domains would be unimaginable.
He studied this place for a long time before finally taking a step forward. With a boom, a bolt of lightning descended and sent Chu Feng flying, almost piercing through his body.
His expression changed. This kind of remnant domain was insignificant compared to the past, but it could actually be fatal.
Fortunately, the Thunderous on his back emitted a gentle light which helped him dissolve a portion of the Buddhist energy. Otherwise, a bloody hole might've appeared in his body.
The moment he landed, Chu Feng became even more cautious. He carefully deduced and searched for a path to survival.
"The old llama has a monastic robe on him. That's no ordinary item. Yellow Cattle said the old llama had gone to Tibet in search of a legendary Buddhist weapon. Perhaps that's why they were able to reach the depths of these ruins."
Chu Feng believed that those people weren't in danger here. They were protected by Buddhist weapons just like him.
The thunderous rumbles continued to ring out incessantly beside Chu Feng. He walked carefully and was endlessly astonished by the layout of the domains here.
It would've been difficult for him to move an inch if it wasn't for the severe damage and the fact that there were no more than one hundred domain runes left.
If there were two or three intact magnetic stones, the power here would've been several times stronger. King level entities would've been turned to ashes upon entering.
Chu Feng studied and pondered as he walked. He was full of praise and almost obsessed. This place was too extraordinary. He kept on memorizing the layout and the various broken runes.
He had to go back and verify the contents of the Domain Heavenly Book!
Unknowingly, he had walked five kilometers and was struck by lightning along the way. At the worst, he was almost struck by five bolts of lightning. Fortunately, the Thunderous helped him resolve the calamity.
"Just understanding domains isn't enough. I also need a Buddhist token. Otherwise, even though this place is broken, it's still a hopeless situation for the current king level entities. They'll die without a doubt if they enter rashly."
There were countless dangers along the way after walking five kilometers. Chu Feng calculated carefully and found that he would've died more than ten times if he didn't have the big bow in hand.
He finally reached the end of the five-kilometer Buddhist Pure Land.
There were clusters of Buddhist radiance in this area. It was as though lumps of bright flames were dancing and burning. He could vaguely see some familiar faces in the ruins. They were all lying in disarray amidst the rubble and broken Buddhist statues.
However, the Buddhist radiance was too intense and he couldn't see them clearly. He could only make out a rough outline. He had really found them!
Chu Feng's heart sank. Were these people still alive?!
"That's …"
Following which, his expression changed greatly as he saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the depths of the ruins. The golden light was exceptionally dazzling and resplendent.
That was a golden Bodhisattva!
He could vaguely smell a fragrance. Was that the aura of a flawless physical body and a sage Buddha?!
There was an incomparably thick Bodhi tree there, and that person was sitting cross-legged under it.
At the same time, there was another person beside him. He was clad in armor and seemed even more powerful than the Bodhisattva. The pressure he exerted caused the void to crack.
The most alarming thing was that the armored man was holding a spear and had actually pierced through the golden body. It was as though a demonic sage had descended here!
Meanwhile, the golden Bodhisattva pointed at the demonic sage's forehead. Although he was sitting cross-legged, the Buddhist radiance he emitted turned into finger marks that had already touched the man's forehead.
This place was very sacred, but Chu Feng's body stiffened. Just what kind of place had he arrived at?!
