Chapter 1305: Demons Appear
Heaven and Earth Change
"Vajra Ancient Temple"
Majestic, majestic, and imposing.
The walls of the ancient temple were tall and deep red, with all kinds of vajra engraved on them. Some were glaring vajras, some were benevolent vajras, some were horse-faced vajras, and some were mighty vajras.
Every brick and tile was as clear as glass, exuding a supreme Buddhist aura. The power of faith flowed like a river, washing across the sky.
In the Vajra Ancient Temple, the most eye-catching structure was a pagoda with 3,000 floors. This pagoda was called the Red Dust Pagoda. Its 3,000 floors symbolized the three thousand mortal worlds. It was the most sacred place in the entire Vajra Ancient Temple.
Every disciple of the Vajra Ancient Temple had to enter the pagoda to train their hearts. Those who could reach the top of the pagoda were those who had cultivated to the pinnacle. It had been many years since anyone could reach the top. Once they did, they would be comparable to the ancient Buddhas.
In this world, wanting to enter the realm of the ancient sages was already incomparably difficult, let alone the ancient sages.
There were 3,000 white steps in total, leading straight to the entrance of the Vajra Ancient Temple.
Xuanyuan stood in the air, looking behind him. At a glance, he could see a city that spanned millions of kilometers.
There, the many vajra images of the Vajra Ancient Temple were worshiped by the devout disciples. Boundless power of faith converged.
The people here were peaceful, resolute, kind, and aloof from worldly affairs. When Xuanyuan looked at them, he saw many of them worshiping in the direction of the temple with heartfelt devotion and respect.
Xuanyuan knew that in their eyes, the place where he was standing was a supreme sacred mountain. This was the place where many Buddhas lived. Countless people yearned to become Buddhas and worshiped here. To reach the Vajra Sacred Mountain, one had to go through layers of tests and climb the 3,000 steps. Only then could one become a disciple of the Vajra Ancient Temple.
Once one became a disciple of the Vajra Ancient Temple, they would have great willpower. For example, Hui Neng had been trapped in the ominous aura for six thousand years. He had used the secret technique of the Vajra Ancient Temple to forcefully condense a Sarira to prevent his soul from dispersing and wait for the fated one. This required great willpower, not to mention that Hui Neng was trapped in the ominous aura. He had to suffer the ravages of the negative aura from the ominous aura at all times.
It was likely that Hui Neng's current strength had far surpassed his own. Xuanyuan had a high opinion of Hui Neng. After 6,000 years of suffering and living another life, it was possible that he would reach the realm of the ancient sages.
When Xuanyuan appeared in front of the Vajra Ancient Temple, the 108 Vajra Ancient Temple disciples guarding the 3,000 steps all looked at Xuanyuan. When they sensed the Vajra Buddhist aura coming from Xuanyuan, they couldn't help but be startled.
Xuanyuan was wearing the robes of the ancient sages who had passed away in meditation. His head was covered with a protective Buddhist aura, but his black hair fluttered in the wind. His actions, words, and appearance didn't seem to belong to a Buddhist sect. But since Xuanyuan had used the Empyrean taboo to come here, his identity was no small matter.
"Benefactor, what business do you have with my Vajra Ancient Temple?" A young monk with a jade-like face, red lips, white teeth, and extremely handsome face bowed to Xuanyuan. He was polite and had a peaceful look on his face.
Xuanyuan descended from the sky and returned the greeting. "I'm here to see Hui Neng."
The moment he said that, the 108 Vajra Ancient Temple disciples surrounded Xuanyuan.
"He's here to save the devil! Set up a formation and capture him! We'll hand him over to the abbot!" One of the Vajra Ancient Temple's disciples glared angrily at him. There was a long scar on his face, and he looked extremely furious.
Xuanyuan was stunned. "I'm here to see Hui Neng. What do you mean I'm here to save the devil? What do you want?"
"This person is definitely closely related to the devil. Capture him first." A disciple with a square face and wide ears exuded a majestic aura of virtue.
"Hold on. Let's wait until we get to the bottom of this. Benefactor, what business do you have with Hui Neng?" A disciple with an intelligent appearance asked Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan stared at the disciple and said word by word, "When he was trapped in the Great Nightmare Swamp of the Eastern Continent, I was the one who obtained his golden body and sarira. Later, he woke up and taught me the Vajra Sutra. He said that if I ever came to the Vajra Ancient Temple in the future, I should come and find him. Today, I've come to see an old friend. Is this how you treat your guests?"
"So that's how it is. It looks like you're fated to meet our Vajra Ancient Temple. Please come in. It's better for the abbot to speak to you personally." With that, he signaled to the disciples to disperse the formation and make way for Xuanyuan.
"Kid, don't go in. It looks like something happened to Hui Neng, and he's become a devil. If you get involved with him, won't you just die?" The Greedy Old Man's voice was anxious. The Vajra Ancient Temple was different from other places. Many places were created by the ancient Buddhas and were heavily suppressed. Even Emperor Restrictions couldn't escape.
Xuanyuan thought, "If it's a blessing, then it's not a curse. If it's a curse, then I can't avoid it. The Vajra Ancient Temple is watching me. Do you think I can escape just by running? Hui Neng taught me the Vajra Sutra. Now that he's become a devil, I have to understand him. If I can help, then I will. If I can't, then there's nothing I can do. "
The Greedy Old Man didn't say anything else. Xuanyuan stepped onto the white stone steps and heard countless chanting voices. It was a faith that came from the heart towards the Vajra Ancient Temple. Millions of people were chanting in a low voice, and the power of the Buddha was as vast as the sea. It made people want to kneel and worship. Xuanyuan walked his own dao, so he naturally wouldn't kneel to others. His will didn't waver at all. The power of All Transformations surged around him, and the will to press forward with indomitable will swept out in all directions.
It forced many of the Vajra disciples to retreat. At this moment, Xuanyuan was still a peerless celestial immortal. At the same level, these disciples were no match for him. Xuanyuan's aura shocked them.
"There's actually such a powerful person? A peerless celestial immortal can be this strong? Who is this person?" The intelligent little monk had a look of surprise on his face. He pondered in his heart, but he couldn't come up with an answer.
Xuanyuan stepped onto the 3,000 stone steps. No matter how great the will of faith was, Xuanyuan still maintained his original heart, feeling the power of the Vajra Ancient Temple. His original heart didn't change, and it wouldn't be purified invisibly.
Being in this place, it was easy to make people feel that this was a supreme place, the only dao between heaven and earth.
The terror of the Buddhist path made Xuanyuan feel uneasy. But now, he had no other choice.
After passing through the gates of the Vajra Ancient Temple, he saw a huge Buddhist cauldron. It had two ears and three legs, and it stood in the center. It was engraved with images of ancient Buddhas subduing the fierce gods and beasts of the land when they descended upon the Western Provinces. The images were vivid and lifelike, as though an aura from the end of the Primeval Chaos was rushing out of the Buddhist cauldron, shaking Xuanyuan's soul.
Xuanyuan didn't avoid it. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and looked at them carefully, experiencing them all. He stood there for three days and three nights, standing tall and straight, like the firmament. He was as steady as Mount Tai. Many of the Vajra Ancient Temple disciples didn't say anything, nor did they stop him. They knew that Xuanyuan was meditating on the dao.
Xuanyuan slowly opened his eyes, and there was a glimmer of wisdom in them. What he had gained from the Buddhist cauldron over the past three days was not worth mentioning. Xuanyuan took out the Devouring Myriad Transformations dao treasure, and Peng Fei, Ba Ji, and Yiyi all materialized. After three days of rest, they had basically recovered to peak condition.
Many of the Vajra Ancient Temple disciples saw this scene, and a strange look flashed through their eyes, but they still didn't move.
This was because the Vajra Ancient Temple was right in front of Xuanyuan's group, and their abbot was inside. Since ancient times, no one except Hui Neng had dared to act presumptuously in the Vajra Ancient Temple.
Xuanyuan looked at the plaque on the Vajra Ancient Temple. The four words were bold and powerful, and they exuded compassion, wisdom, anger, benevolence, etiquette, peace, and all sorts of other auras. Xuanyuan simply transmitted his voice to the three of them, so they could roughly understand what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Peng Fei shouted and looked angrily at Xuanyuan. "Dammit, how could you call me out in such a situation? If I had known this would happen, I would have hidden in the peerless dao treasure!"
Xuanyuan said indifferently, "You can choose to go in."
"Forget it. Without me, can you beat them?" Many of the Vajra Ancient Temple disciples didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they heard Peng Fei's words. But the holy monk robe that Peng Fei was wearing made them frown. He called himself a 'Dao Master', but he probably had a great deal of karma with the Buddhist sect.
Ba Ji and Yi Yi's bloodline emitted a supreme Emperor's Qi. They came from the Primordial Royal Family. Other than the Victorious Fighting Buddha of the Primordial Era, there were very few people who came to the Buddhist Sect. This was a rare thing. Could it be that the prophecy of the Vajra Buddha was true?
Xuanyuan stood in front of the Vajra Ancient Temple. For the past three days, comprehending the dao was one thing. More importantly, he wanted to test the attitude of the Vajra Ancient Temple. The other party did not disturb him. Given their statuses, they wanted to wait for a junior in the temple without the slightest urging. They didn't say a single word. It was clear how cultured they were.
Xuanyuan made up his mind. They probably didn't have any ill intentions. Xuanyuan straightened his body and bowed. He said loudly, "Blue Dragon Sacred Ground Lord Xuanyuan requests an audience with the eminent monks of the Vajra Ancient Temple!"
Hearing this, many people were shocked, "What? He's Xuanyuan?"
