Western Region.
In a huge ancient temple that resembled a palace that was illuminated by a Buddhist light, the sound of a bell rang continuously.
Each time the bell rang, there would be a series of Sanskrit chants coming from the ancient temple.
The ancient temple was extremely huge. If one were to look at it from the sky, the entire ancient temple stretched for tens of thousands of miles with no end in sight. It was extremely shocking.
Around the ancient temple, there were temples of all sizes. Those temples were like the ancient temple's guards that protected it.
At this moment, in a majestic hall of the ancient temple, a handsome young monk of about fifteen or sixteen years of age was seated on a praying mat.
Behind the young monk was a gigantic Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue was not made of tacky gold, but of a material that resembled both gold and stone.
The Buddha statue had a smile on its face and no matter how one looked at it, it seemed like it was smiling at the world.
The appearance of the Buddha statue was different from any other Buddha on Earth.
The young monk seated on the praying mat had a solemn and solemn expression.
There were three monks seated around the young monk.
The three monks had different expressions. Some were kind, some were stern, and some were calm.
The three of them sat beside the young monk and chanted sutras with their eyes closed.
Even though they were chanting, their faces would flash with solemn expressions from time to time.
As time passed, a layer of sweat appeared on the little monk's forehead. It was as if he was enduring some kind of great pressure.
Intermittent scenes flashed through the young monk's mind. There were scenes of blood flowing like rivers, of martial artists fighting, and of corpses piling up into mountains.
There was even a scene of a Buddhist temple being destroyed by a palm print that came from beyond the heavens.
At the sight of the destruction of the Buddhist sect, the sweat on the young monk's forehead increased.
Finally, the image of the young monk stopped at the scene of two figures facing each other.
Both of them had majestic figures and stood in the void, exuding a powerful aura that could destroy the world.
One of them was surrounded by swords, each of which exuded a terrifying aura.
The long swords danced around that person, causing the surrounding space to shatter and overlap. It was an extremely horrifying scene.
That person's face was blurry and could not be seen clearly. One could only vaguely make out that he was a middle-aged man with a tall figure that exuded an immense pressure like a divine king of the nine heavens.
When the little monk saw the other person, his soul couldn't help but tremble.
The small monk, who was sitting cross-legged on the praying mat in reality, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The person opposite the middle-aged man was wearing a pitch-black robe. His robe was fluttering in the strong winds of the Nine Heavens.
Every time the black robe fluttered, it would cause space to tremble. What left the young monk even more horrified was the strange patterns embroidered on the black robe. Just a glance at those patterns made the young monk feel like his soul was being sucked away.
Just as the small monk was bitterly resisting, the sound of chanting could be heard. The small monk's spiritual sense was finally stabilized.
After the little monk recovered, he felt a lingering fear as he looked at the black-robed man in horror.
If it wasn't for the sudden chanting of sutras, his soul would have been sucked away. This was only because of the clothes on that person's body. If that person had taken the initiative, who knew how terrifying it would have been.
A weapon box that was as black as ink floated beside the black-robed man. At this moment, swords and sabers flew out of the weapon box and floated beside the black-robed man.
Although the black-robed man only had one saber and one sword, his aura wasn't any weaker than the person opposite him.
As the saber and sword emitted a terrifying aura, the surrounding space continuously distorted. Although they didn't tear space apart like the swords around the black-robed man, they were more frightening. That was because the black-robed man was changing space. Everyone knew that it was easy to destroy but difficult to repair. However, the black-robed man wasn't just repairing space. He seemed to be controlling space and not allowing it to be destroyed.
The black-robed man wore a sinister and strange mask. The mask emitted a domineering aura, as if he was a king that controlled all living things in the world. He gave off an incomparable pressure.
When the small monk saw the mask, his soul couldn't help but tremble.
Then, two names inexplicably appeared in his mind.
"Sky Sovereign."
"Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens."
Just as the small monk's soul looked at the two people, the two people also looked over.
"Scram!"
The two people shouted at the same time. In an instant, mountains collapsed and seas roared. The Zhenwu Continent that the two people were in seemed to be on the verge of destruction as it continuously shook.
Only when the shouts disappeared did the entire world calm down.
As for the small monk's spiritual sense, it had already been scattered by the shouts of the two people.
In reality, the small monk's delicate and pretty face was bleeding from his seven orifices. He was also spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
"Not good, the Spirit Sovereign's consciousness seems to have been attacked."
The three monks didn't say anything else. In an instant, the power of their primordial spirits rushed out and enveloped the small monk.
In the end, the small monk faintly woke up after the three monks were sent flying while vomiting blood.
The three monks didn't care about their injuries and hurriedly asked, "Spirit Sovereign, what did you see?"
Spirit Sovereign was a title of the Zhenwu Continent's Buddhist sects. Spirit Sovereigns were equivalent to the reincarnated Buddhas of Tantra on Earth.
The small monk's current appearance was extremely miserable. Although his seven orifices were no longer bleeding, there were still bloodstains left behind.
The small monk put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.
"I saw two people."
The three monks' expressions shook. They didn't say anything and continued to wait for the Spirit Sovereign to continue.
"Those two people were the beginning of the calamity and also the end of the calamity."
The three old monks looked at each other. One of the old monks with a dignified face bowed and said, "Spirit Sovereign, please enlighten us."
"I can't say, I can't say."
After saying that, the small monk no longer had any signs of life. He passed away in a sitting posture.
"Amitabha."
The three monks bowed together and chanted the name of Buddha.
"Spirit Sovereign, rest in peace. May you be reborn in paradise and return to this world."
After saying that, the door of the main hall opened and the three monks disappeared from the main hall.
.....
Shen Lang wasn't shocked by the identity of Saint Emperor Guan, but by the relationship between the True Dragon Mantra and Shen Kun.
In Shen Lang's memories, Shen Kun had always explained that he had obtained the True Dragon Mantra by accident.
Then why didn't he say where he obtained it? Every time Shen Wuming asked, Shen Kun would be ambiguous, making people feel as if they were shrouded in fog.
And last time, during the Shen Family War, Shen Kun had mysteriously disappeared. Logically speaking, the Shen Family was only a family that had been established for less than a hundred years. Shen Kun was a rather rigid person and had very few friends in the Jianghu.
Not to mention that there was no Emptiness Realm expert who would come to save him. Everything was shrouded in fog. The witnesses at that time, Li Zongquan and the others, were already dead. Only some martial artists from various families who had participated in the war were left.
Those people probably didn't know anything. Only Li Zongquan and the others were clear about the situation at that time.
