There was no sun or moon in his Inner World. Gu Fei sat cross-legged on the peak of the mountain beside the lake, circulating his Xuan Qi. Streams of True Qi flowed through his meridians, flesh and bones, nourishing his organs and flesh.
The strength of Gu Fei's body had already far exceeded the imagination of ordinary cultivators. If he wanted to take another step forward, he would have to put in more effort.
Streams of Spiritual Qi were forcibly gathered and poured into Gu Fei's body, being refined into his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones. Looking inside himself, he could feel that every bone in his body was enveloped in a faint layer of five-colored light.
Every muscle, every trace of blood and Qi contained Yuan Qi. Within Gu Fei's body, the five-coloured light was surging.
Finally, Gu Fei was three inches off the ground, floating in the air. His body was flowing with a faint light, and every inch of his skin was as bright as a five-coloured divine jade.
After an unknown period of time, Gu Fei awoke from the mysterious Martial Realm. The multicolored aura that was emitted from his body disappeared back into his body.
He slowly descended from the air to the ground.
On his skin, there was a layer of sparkling light. His cultivation had not broken into the Fifth Sky of the Ascended Realm, but it had reached the peak of the Fourth Sky.
The True Qi of a martial artist was constantly nourishing Gu Fei's body. Even if he didn't circulate his Xuan Qi, the Five Elemental True Qi would follow the flow of his blood and Qi to every part of his body.
There were many things that Gu Fei did not understand about the ancient martial arts passed down from the Green Spirit Peak. This was because the ancestors of the Green Spirit Peak were not as lucky as Gu Fei to break into the Transcending Mortality Realm.
This was also the reason why the Green Spirit Peak gradually declined. Cultivators who had not broken into the Transcending Mortality Realm had a limited lifespan. When the time came, they would die of old age on the mountain.
And cultivators in the Transcending Mortality Realm, because of the transformation of their bodies, could live for at least five hundred years.
The reason for the decline of the Supreme Mystery Sect's Green Spirit Peak was largely because the lifespan of cultivators was too short. The lifespan of a cultivator at the Awakening Self realm was only about 150 years.
There seemed to be no other way out after becoming a disciple of the Green Spirit Peak. Thus, during the disciple recruitment ceremony that was held once every ten years, almost no new disciples were willing to enter the Green Spirit Peak and become a disciple of the Green Spirit Peak.
Over time, the Green Spirit Peak withered and declined. In Gu Fei's generation, it became a situation where there was only one successor. The Green Spirit Peak's orthodoxy could be severed at any time.
Without the experience of predecessors, Gu Fei could only rely on himself to explore a path of cultivation. Compared to the inheritance of the other branches of the Supreme Mystery Sect, this was much more difficult.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a wave of magical power coming from the pavilion by the lake at the foot of the mountain. Then, a ball of light condensed on the surface of the lake and spread.
In the void, there were ripples visible to the naked eye. Then, there was a flash of brilliance on the surface of the lake, and a hazy mirror-like space appeared in front of Gu Fei's eyes.
Gu Fei stood at the top of the mountain and looked down. He saw the old turtle standing next to the pavilion. Its hands were moving, and streams of demonic power rushed out and hit the void above the lake that seemed to have turned into a transparent water curtain.
Then, in a hazy manner, some images clearly appeared in the circular space that was a hundred feet wide.
"This is …" The images became clearer and clearer. Gu Fei was surprised to find that in the void above the lake, the scene in the mountain appeared.
He saw a huge pillar of fire that emitted thousands of feet of fire standing between heaven and earth. At the top of the pillar of fire, there was an ancient divine palace that was surrounded by multicolored light.
And above the divine palace, there was a faint and illusory world. In that world, the light of Buddha lingered, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses appeared on the ground. It was a Buddhist land.
A young monk was holding a purple gold alms bowl in his hand. His eyes were slightly closed as he sat cross-legged in this Buddhist land that was hard to distinguish between real and fake. Endless fire energy passed through the Divine Palace and was continuously sucked away by the Buddhist land that covered the sky and earth.
When Gu Fei saw this scene, he was very surprised. He could not believe that the old turtle was in his Inner World and was using a secret method to spy on the movement in the mountain.
This kind of method was beyond Gu Fei's imagination.
The scene above the lake quickly and completely fixed, as if there was a mirror, reflecting the scene outside the Inner World. It was clear, without missing anything.
It could be seen that the little monk had taken control of the situation. He occupied the divine palace and the earth fire vein. Furthermore, he was devouring the spiritual energy of the earth fire vein to refine his Inner World.
Gu Fei knew that there must be something wrong with the abnormal little monk's Inner World. Otherwise, it would be a real Buddhist land instead of an illusory world.
Gu Fei rushed down from the mountain, crossed the lake, and entered the pavilion on the opposite side.
"This little bald donkey …" The old turtle stared at the scene above the lake and clenched his teeth. He had the urge to tear the little monk sitting in the illusory Buddhist land into pieces.
The little monk seemed to be his irreconcilable enemy.
"Could it be that the little monk is the legendary Lord Buddha?" Gu Fei voiced out the doubts in his heart. Even his voice was trembling. If that little monk was really the ancient Buddha Lord, then it would be too terrifying.
"What Lord Buddha? That guy must be a powerful Buddhist cultivator who wanted to make a breakthrough through ascetic cultivation, so he sealed himself in the tomb of the Lord Buddha," the old turtle said angrily.
The old turtle was a figure from the Distant Past era. He seemed to know many ancient secrets, but he was unwilling to talk about them.
"The tomb of the Lord Buddha … Isn't the Lord Buddha buried?" Gu Fei asked.
"Hmph! The Lord Buddha? In my era, the Lord Buddha was already a legend. No one had ever seen the Lord Buddha. I'm afraid even the Supreme Daoist Ancestor didn't know where the Lord Buddha was, "the old turtle said.
"This world seems to have undergone unimaginable changes. It's no longer the world I know. All the people of my era have disappeared. They … may have fallen, or they may be hiding somewhere. What happened in the past?" The old turtle suddenly became a little distressed.
"What changes?" Gu Fei asked curiously.
The old turtle withdrew his gaze from the lake and looked at Gu Fei. After a long time, he said, "I don't know. At that time, I was already sealed in the Absolute Formation in the Virtual Sky World by that freak."
The old turtle, who had always been free and easy, seemed a little dispirited, depressed, and lonely at this time.
"The world changed … Perhaps only the oldest ancient books and records in the Teng Long Continent have records of this." Gu Fei said. The secrets of the Distant Past era were only known by those ancient holy lands and ancient immortal sects that had been passed down from the Distant Past era.
Those forces that had been passed down through the ages only appeared in legends. They had high status and were very mysterious. They were the real hidden sects.
According to legend, unless there was a great upheaval, those forces would not easily appear in the eyes of the world.
"Rumble …" Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the lake. The old turtle and Gu Fei were startled and hurriedly looked at the sky above the lake.
In the projection on the surface of the lake, the mysterious little monk actually drove his Inner World downwards. The Divine Palace below suddenly shook violently.
"Finally can't help but collect that divine palace?" The old turtle stared at the scene in the image above the lake, feeling very upset.
After all, if it weren't for that freak little monk who walked out of the tomb of Lord Buddha, the divine palace left by the Fire God would have been in the old turtle's pocket.
Both the old turtle and the little monk were terrifying and invincible experts, but it was obvious that the mysterious little monk was more powerful than the old turtle.
The mysterious little monk's Inner World seemed illusory, but it was hundreds of miles wide and covered a part of the world. The Power of Heaven and Earth it exuded was stronger, fiercer, and more unstoppable than the old turtle's Inner World.
The little monk was unfathomable, but there was no doubt that this mysterious little monk who walked out of the tomb of Lord Buddha was a terrifying expert who could do whatever he wanted on the Teng Long Continent.
Perhaps, only the legendary immortals would be able to rival it.
"He … doesn't seem to be collecting the divine palace …" Gu Fei said with a frown.
"Hmm?" Old Tortoise also felt that something was wrong. Although the evil little monk's inner world had shrouded the area below, it hadn't sucked the Divine Palace into the illusory Buddhist land.
The little monk only used the endless Power of Heaven and Earth to suppress the divine palace.
Rumble … Heaven and Earth shook, and figures flashed around. Countless peerless experts who could fly in the air rode divine lights and retreated further away.
Bam!
The divine palace, which was surrounded by multicolored lights, smashed into the fire pillar below the divine palace like a hundred thousand mountains. A ball of earth fire immediately exploded, and terrifying flames swept out, covering a radius of hundreds of miles in an instant. It was like a giant firework that suddenly exploded.
The Demon Lord Huang Long, the Demon Monarch of Six Paths, and the other big shots had to retreat.
In the next moment, the boundless Earthveins Fire Qi that had exploded and dispersed retreated like the tide. All of it was devoured by the illusory Buddhist Land above the Divine Palace.
In the illusory Buddhist Land, where the mysterious little monk was sitting, something tangible began to appear. The little monk was surrounded by Buddhist lights, and the world was evolving.
Beneath the little monk, a piece of soil less than half a meter in diameter had appeared. The endless Spiritual Qi of the earth veins had caused the little monk's Inner World to show signs of substantialization.
"This little monk … He is using the endless Spiritual Qi of the earth veins to refine his Inner World. He is trying to substantialize his Inner World. How despicable!" The old turtle exclaimed in the pavilion.
He had discovered the little monk's real intention.
