Jiang Xiaofan stood at the top of the cliff, his eyes flickering with a faint golden light as he lowered his head and looked down. He still couldn't see the end of the eerie valley. Even with his current cultivation at the Renhuang level, he couldn't do it. Everything below was hazy.
"Fate!"
Jiang Xiaofan sighed softly.
He took a step forward, and a faint golden light circulated around his body as he descended toward the Divine Cliff below. He didn't know how wide the two sides of the Divine Cliff were. Even with his current cultivation, he couldn't measure it clearly.
Rustle, rustle …
A gentle breeze reverberated in his ears. Soon, he landed on a quiet lake.
His eyes flickered with a faint hazy light as he looked down at Qingshui Lake below, as if he wanted to see through the entire lake. He stood quietly on the lake for a moment, then finally raised his head and walked toward the shore in front of him.
"Master …"
Jiang Xiaofan stepped forward and bowed in front of a platform.
Three meters in front of him, there was an ordinary and plain cenotaph. There was only a stone platform with six words engraved on it: Dipankara Ancient Buddha's Sacred Seat.
He stood in front of this platform. There was no light in his eyes, and he looked very calm as he stood there quietly. After some time, the sun gradually set, and a gentle breeze blew, lifting the black hair in front of his forehead.
He looked up at the sky, then lowered his head again …
"Master, I'm sorry. Your unfilial disciple, Jiang Xiaofan, is going to open the seal you set up."
He kowtowed in front of the platform.
The bottom of the Divine Cliff wasn't wide, and there were clusters of strange flowers growing all around. Although they weren't divine roots, they weren't ordinary either. There was a faint Spiritual Qi lingering around, and it wasn't inferior to the divine herbs in the Imperial Heaven Gate.
After a long time, he stood up again and looked at this plain platform for a moment. In the end, he turned around and stepped onto the Qingshui Lake in front of him again. At this moment, his eyes flickered with a cold light as he slowly sank down.
"Bo!"
The sound of water rippling could be heard, and Jiang Xiaofan's figure disappeared into the Divine Cliff.
Qingshui Lake looked ordinary, but it was also filled with extraordinary things. He didn't know how deep it was. Even with Jiang Xiaofan's current cultivation of the Human Sovereign Realm and his powerful Divine Sense that was comparable to that of a Xuan Immortal, it was difficult for him to scan the bottom of this lake.
However, it was obvious that he would not probe how deep the lake was. There was no need for that. Because this was not the first time he had dived to the bottom of this lake, he already had an idea of the target location in his heart and was not confused at all.
Buzz!
A faint golden Buddhist aura circulated around him. His eyes were pure gold as he scanned his surroundings.
"It's here …"
A moment later, a golden barrier appeared in his field of vision.
"Buzz …" The barrier in front looked very weak, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but in fact, it was extremely powerful. Although the golden divine light was very weak, it seemed to be able to block all things.
However, for Jiang Xiaofan, since he had the Buddhist scriptures, he naturally did not have to worry about the barrier blocking him. Powers of the same origin would not repel each other, and he was the new successor of the Buddhist scriptures. This Buddhist barrier would not stop him.
There was a faint light curtain around him that isolated the surrounding water. At this moment, he walked forward calmly and put his right hand on the light golden barrier in front of him. The same golden brilliance circulated in the palm of his hand. The Buddhist scriptures and Saint Power surged out and spread toward the light golden barrier in front of him.
Whoosh!
A slight sound was heard, and his body directly merged into it.
In just a moment, Jiang Xiaofan appeared in a dark dungeon. The light in this place was dim and gloomy. It contained a surge of evil energy that made people feel as if they had come to the netherworld.
"Who is it!"
"Get down here!" As if sensing that someone had entered, a terrifying roar immediately sounded in this space. In the dark space, dozens of pairs of bloodthirsty eyes suddenly opened. They were filled with a murderous aura. Even though Jiang Xiaofan knew about this place, he could not help but tremble slightly.
"Stop shouting, it's me!"
Jiang Xiaofan spoke and directly landed in the center.
The light in this place was dim and gloomy. Ghosts wailed and beasts roared, and evil energy soared to the sky.
There were dozens of stone rooms of various sizes in the surroundings. Every stone room was suppressing an extremely terrifying existence, and it was blocked by an iron door that was inscribed with countless rune brands.
Every time someone tried to rush out, the runes would automatically awaken and emit a faint golden light, causing the evil spirits that came into contact with them to howl miserably. There would even be green smoke rising from the arms.
"It's you!"
"The successor of that old bald donkey, get over here and let me tear you apart!"
After seeing Jiang Xiaofan's appearance, these evil spirits roared again and again. Their powerful aura made Jiang Xiaofan tremble even through the seal set by the ancient Dipankara Buddha. It was too terrifying. They were definitely powerful existences of the Three Pure Ones.
Jiang Xiaofan glanced at them and said nothing. He turned his head and went straight in another direction. He stopped in front of a stone chamber in the deepest part.
"Hmm?"
He looked inside and suddenly frowned.
He remembered that Leng Qingyang, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master of the past, was sealed in this stone chamber. He was a middle-aged man. But now, the iron door had been opened, and the stone chamber was empty. He was gone.
"Where are the people here?"
He tilted his head and looked at another stone chamber and asked directly.
What he got in reply was a furious roar and a domineering roar, "Junior, you're just a mere Human Sovereign. How dare you talk to your Great Ancestor Demonic Bull like that? Do you want me to stomp you to death?"
It was a demonic man who was six feet tall. His eyes were staring into the distance. His body was filled with a wild and domineering aura. One could sense his cultivation just by his aura.
The Eight Heavens of the Three Pure Ones!
"You stubborn damned yellow ox!"
Seeing this Great Ancestor Demon Ox, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but think of the Silver Copper in his body. He suddenly showed an angry look. He pointed at the Great Ancestor Demon Ox in the stone chamber and cursed, venting his dissatisfaction with the silver copper.
"Junior!"
The Great Ancestor Demon Ox was so angry that smoke was coming out of its head. Its bell-sized eyes stared at Jiang Xiaofan.
"Ahem …" Looking at the Great Ancestor Demon Ox in the stone chamber who was glaring at him, Jiang Xiaofan suddenly coughed embarrassedly. "Uh, I lost my composure. Great Ancestor, please tell me, why did the man in this stone chamber disappear? "
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan's attitude had softened, the Great Ancestor Demon Ox suddenly snorted. In addition, it had been imprisoned here for a long time. It didn't reject a fresh face to talk to. "He has transcended the demonic nature and returned to his original heart. The seal set by that old man naturally won't stop him anymore. He left a year ago."
"This …"
Jiang Xiaofan was a little surprised.
The Heavenly Demon Sect Master had actually broken free from the demonic nature and walked out of here on his own. It was too rare!
He looked at the stone chamber in front of him and fell silent for a moment.
"Hey, junior, what are you doing here?"
The Great Ancestor Demon Ox's muffled voice came.
At the same time, roars came from the other dozens of stone prisons …
"Junior, let me out!"
"It's been more than a thousand years. That damned old bald donkey, why aren't you letting me out!"
"You're that old bald donkey's successor. You've inherited his Dao. Hurry up and release this damned seal for me."
Around them, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up. Even with the Buddhist seal blocking them, the powerful coercion still spread out in wisps. And it was just this bit of pressure that made Jiang Xiaofan's heart palpitate. It was too terrifying.
Every one of them was a terrifying existence that was not weaker than the Three Pure Ones!
Among the existences imprisoned here, most of them were humans. There were also some ferocious beast Daemon Kings, and even a monster that was reborn from a corpse. They had more or less committed extremely vile acts in the past, and had been suppressed here for too long by the Dipankara Buddha. Now that they saw the ancient Buddha's successor appear, they naturally couldn't stop themselves from roaring.
Thus, Jiang Xiaofan simply plugged his ears. After a while, the old demons had roared enough and stopped, looking at Jiang Xiaofan.
Jiang Xiaofan swept his gaze over the stone chambers one by one. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Alright, I'm here to let you out."
As soon as he said this, the old demons immediately became excited.
"Good, good, good. Little fellow, as long as you let me out, I'll protect you for the rest of your life. I'll teach you peerless mystic arts. You'll be free to do whatever you want in the world!"
"I'll take you as my first disciple and pass on my mantle to you!"
"Kid, tell me what you want. As long as you leave this place, I'll fulfill all your requests. Even if you want the essence of the Three Pure Ones, I'll fulfill your wish! "
They'd been imprisoned for far too long. The oldest had been suppressed for over nine thousand years. Now that they heard Jiang Xiaofan was going to let them out, how could they not be excited? They all began to make promises and tempt him.
Jiang Xiaofan could empathize with their feelings, but there were some things he had to take precautions against. He looked at these peerless experts and calmly shook his head. "I have no interest in your so-called conditions. I can let you go, but you must be under my control!"
"Under your control?!"
Puzzled voices rang out, followed by a terrifying killing intent.
"Kid, have you eaten a leopard's guts?! How dare you have such an idea!"
"I, Patriarch Pure Heaven, have roamed the world for thousands of years. How dare a puny Human Emperor like you try to control me!"
"You're courting death!"
As powerful as they were, which one of them hadn't been famous in the past? They hadn't even been willing to submit in front of the Dipankara Buddha. Now that a puny Human Emperor had threatened to control them, how could they not be angry? Pairs of eyes flashed with a frenzied killing intent.
Jiang Xiaofan's expression didn't change. He didn't care …
"Buzz!"
Faint golden light surged, illuminating the entire dark cage. The golden runes on the cage trembled and resonated with the golden light outside Jiang Xiaofan's body.
"You're all too dangerous. If you want to be free, I must impose new restrictions on you." Jiang Xiaofan said calmly. Then, he changed the topic. "Besides, my master has passed away. I'm the only one in this world who can break the seal here. You'd better think it over."
