Although the Godly Soul was made up of an invisible and intangible thought, it could fly in the sky, burrow underground, and enter the sea unimpeded. But when it was put into practice, there were many differences.
The Godly Soul was most comfortable in the air.
When it entered the water, there would be a viscous resistance. The deeper it went, the greater the resistance.
Even Ghost Immortals could only dive thousands of feet deep into the sea. They could not go any deeper.
And when it went underground, the resistance was even greater, more than ten times stronger than in the water. When the thought passed through the wall, it would consume a lot of Godly Soul power, let alone burrowing underground.
With Hong Yi's current cultivation, he estimated that he could only burrow a few thousand feet deep at most. He could not go any deeper. Otherwise, his Godly Soul power would not be able to support it, and it was very likely that he would be trapped underground forever.
"There shouldn't be any underground palace under the Daizen Temple. Even if there is, it must have been discovered after so many years. But the legends are not all groundless. Since the Ninja Monk said so, I'd better search for it first. "
After burrowing dozens of feet underground, Hong Yi exerted his Divine Telekinesis to the maximum, trying his best to explore the surrounding situation.
All around him was sand and soil, a vast and muddy expanse.
When Hong Yi drilled into the ground and wandered around, he did discover many cellars that were used to store items in the first few zhang. However, they had all been plundered clean and there was nothing left.
Then, there were many underground rats, pangolins, hibernating pythons, and some strange animals that could not be named.
"I can only sense the area within a radius of dozens of feet underground. In such a large area of the ruins of the Daizen Temple, what underground palace could I find? Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack? No, I have to search with all my might. "
After burrowing 50 to 60 feet, Hong Yi felt that it was difficult to swim, and it was especially difficult to explore. It was like a person looking for a needle in a large house in the middle of the night without any light. How could he find it?
His Divine Soul drilled into the ground, and the range of his senses was greatly reduced. It was really like a person exploring in the dark. This state made Hong Yi feel quite uncomfortable.
However, this was the first time that Hong Yi had used dao techniques to explore underground, and he felt that it was extremely novel. Therefore, he decided to use all his strength to explore once more.
"How is it, Hong Yi? Have you found any clues?" Enduring Monk felt a gust of Yang wind emerging from the rubble of the Sutra Depository ruins. He knew that it was Hong Yi who had withdrawn his thoughts and immediately asked.
"I didn't discover anything. However, this wisp of my Divine Soul power can only explore up to about 500 to 600 feet. I'm going to give it a try with all my strength to see how deep I can explore. Most people would scold others for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. In fact, in this world, no one knew how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. I'm a scholar, so I want to know how thick the earth is now. "
As he spoke, Hong Yi returned to the tent and sat down. "All of you, protect me!"
When his subordinates surrounded him, only then did Hong Yi release all of his divine soul without holding back in the slightest.
A huge, warm Yang Qi immediately filled the entire square.
Everyone felt this Qi. It was as if spring had come. The snow on the square immediately began to melt. The fierce mountain wind outside could not blow into the ruins of the square.
Mr. Zhou's expression changed. At this moment, he really felt the huge surging power of Hong Yi! He no longer had any thoughts of resistance in his heart.
This power was too strong. Just a small part of it could destroy his soul, and he would never be able to reincarnate.
"Enter!"
This huge, masculine force suddenly gathered and violently drilled into the ground.
Rumble! The whole ground trembled slightly. Then, it seemed as if nothing had happened. However, everyone felt as if an invisible, huge warm dragon had drilled into the ground.
As soon as Hong Yi's Divine Soul drilled into the ground, the fierce mountain wind blew. The pines in the forest moved up and down, and the snow fell. Everyone felt a cold chill.
"This time, if I go all out, the ground can't stop me!"
Hong Yi's Divine Soul drilled into the ground. He immediately felt ten times more comfortable than before. It was like a fish in water. As he went deeper and deeper, the resistance was indeed reduced by a lot. At the same time, Hong Yi felt that the underground area had increased a lot.
Layers of rocks, water vapor, and even underground springs and underground rivers appeared in Hong Yi's senses.
"It's quite boring underground. However, rumor has it that there's magma in the depths of the earth's core. It's like a small sun, surging endlessly. I wonder if it's true? It must be true. Otherwise, where did the magma in the volcanoes come from? "
Although he did not find any underground palace, Hong Yi wanted to explore it.
Therefore, he used his Divine Soul Power and continued to drill into the ground.
The deeper he went, the more difficult it became. Even with Hong Yi's huge Divine Soul Power, he felt that it was a little difficult!
"I've drilled at least five thousand feet! At this depth, even ghost immortals who have passed the first Thunder Tribulation would find it difficult to come down. But I haven't come into contact with the magma. I wonder how deep the ground is? "
After Hong Yi drilled more than five thousand feet into the ground, it was still mud and rocks. There was nothing else. He did not see any magma at all. Therefore, he knew that the ground was too thick. With his current cultivation, he could not go deep.
"There's no underground palace at all. Let's go back. Even if there is an underground palace, it would not be built so deep! Even if the monks of the Daizen Temple were all human immortals, they would not dig five thousand feet into the ground to build an underground palace. "
Hong Yi smiled. He knew that the underground palace of the Daizen Temple was definitely gone. If there was an underground palace, it would not be possible to drill more than five thousand feet into the ground without being discovered.
It was even more impossible to build an underground palace at a depth of five thousand feet. Even if all the manpower and financial resources in the world were gathered together, it would be impossible to complete such a huge project.
How could people build an underground palace in a place where even Hong Yi's Divine Soul could not come down?
"This time, I came to the Daizen Temple to reminisce and admire it, and to help the Enduring Monk fulfill his wish. I did not expect that there would be treasures in the ruins of the Daizen Temple."
As Hong Yi thought about it, he prepared to go back.
His state of mind was very calm. He did not feel disappointed because he could not find the underground palace or anything like that. This was because he did not come to the Daizen Temple to look for treasures.
"Hmm? Why is there a trace of Dharmic power? "
Just as Hong Yi was about to go back, he suddenly felt a faint trace of Dharmic power coming from deeper underground, which was the fluctuation of thoughts.
Although the fluctuation of this thought was extremely faint, but Hong Yi still felt it, and it was very real.
"Could it be that there is an expert cultivating underground? How is that possible? Who would cultivate five thousand feet underground? Are you tired of living? You have to know that with my cultivation, it is difficult to come down. Should I go down and take a look, or not? If I continue, I may not have enough Divine Soul Power when I go up later! "
Hong Yi felt the fluctuation of Dharmic power. He hesitated for a moment, whether to go down or not. But in the end, the unknown exploration of the Heavenly Way attracted him. With a thought, he gathered the Divine Soul Power again and drilled down fiercely.
Hong Yi felt that he drilled down another thousand feet. He had already reached a depth of more than six thousand feet!
Suddenly …
His whole body relaxed. The soil and rocks on the ground that were restraining Hong Yi's Divine Soul were completely removed.
His eyes lit up, and a stone room appeared in front of him.
"This is the underground palace? The legends are actually true? At this depth of six thousand feet, the Daizen Temple actually built an underground palace? How is that possible? I wonder if there is an exit to the surface in this underground palace? If there is an exit, six thousand feet of stairs? How majestic and spectacular would that be? "
At this moment, Hong Yi was in a spacious space. His Divine Soul Power recovered in an instant.
His heart was filled with incomparable amazement, and he quickly sized it up.
"No, this is a solitary stone room. It is completely deep underground. There are no exits in the surroundings." Hong Yi looked around and was even more surprised. The entire stone room was completely sealed six thousand feet underground. There were no stairs leading to the surface in the surroundings. Therefore, this was not something that could be built by humans.
"Could it be that a Dao technique expert, like me, dived underground and then squeezed the rocks out of thin air to create such a large stone room? But such a cultivation level is impossible for me. Could it be that it was naturally formed? "
This stone room was not big. It was only a hundred steps wide. It could not be compared to the size of an underground palace. At most, it was just a large room.
Hong Yi looked around. He could not guess if this stone room was built by a Dao technique expert, or if it was naturally formed.
The entire stone room was as bright as day.
Hong Yi saw the source of the light.
It was in the center of the stone room. On a cylindrical step, there was a sphere that emitted a strong light. The entire stone room was bathed in white light.
From this sphere, Hong Yi felt a kind of Sutra of the Past. It was a peaceful and eternal aura. This aura was what he had felt just now at the depth of five thousand feet.
Only someone who had mastered the Sutra of the Past could vaguely feel this aura deep underground. Otherwise, even an expert who was twice as skilled as him would not be able to sense it.
Under this sphere, which was a hundred times brighter than a Luminous Pearl, was a thin book. The book was dark gold in color. It was made of the same material as the destroyed Sutra of the Past.
"Could it be? Could it be that the Enduring Monk was speaking the truth? Is the Sutra of the Present Buddha really hidden in the underground palace of the Daizen Temple? " Hong Yi did not go forward to take it. Instead, he looked straight at the book under the sphere. He sent a strand of his consciousness over to see what this book was.
But!
Just as Hong Yi's consciousness neared the sphere, there was a sudden burst of intense light from the sphere!
Chi! Hong Yi immediately felt that his consciousness was shattered by this intense light!
At the same time, within the light of the sphere, a dragon appeared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
This dragon swam within the sphere, layer upon layer, as though there was another Lesser Chiliocosm within the sphere. And just as Hong Yi's consciousness was shattered, the dragon's eyes suddenly locked onto Hong Yi and looked towards Hong Yi.
Rumble!
When Hong Yi saw the look in the dragon's eyes, he felt an overwhelming pressure that stacked on top of his spirit from the vast void.
His entire spirit immediately exploded!
"Amazing! Amazing! It's 10 times more powerful than the Monogatari's Nine Flaming Dragon! What is this? The Daizen Temple actually used this to protect the sutra? It's a pity I can't see what this sutra is. Is it the Present Buddha Sutra or the Future Unborn Sutra? "
After the explosion, Hong Yi's spirit condensed again.
At the same time, the dragon on the sphere disappeared, as though it had destroyed Hong Yi's spirit.
Hong Yi glanced at the sphere, as well as the scripture underneath it. Suddenly, he leaped up and drilled out of the stone chamber's roof, entering the soil and rocks. Then, he used the power of his Divine Soul, and after a great deal of effort, he drilled out of the ground.
He did not linger over the sphere or the unknown scripture that was pressed under the sphere.
Just now, when the dragon appeared on the sphere, Hong Yi felt as though the entire earth was pressing down on him. The dragon's gaze and the intense thought made him feel as though the entire earth was pressing down on him.
Hong Yi had seen the Monogatari's Nine Flaming Dragon before, but even the might of that powerful Nine Flaming Dragon couldn't compare to the dragon on the sphere.
He knew that with his current powerful spiritual power, it was still difficult to defeat this dragon.
Fortunately, this dragon seemed to be sealed in the sphere and didn't seem to have any consciousness. It would only attack existences that approached it. Otherwise, Hong Yi felt that he, who had just improved his mystique, would probably die here.
"What's the matter, Hong Yi? Did you find any underground palace?"
Just as everyone was protecting Hong Yi, they suddenly felt a huge sun and warmth radiating from the ground.
Then, all of them were absorbed into the space between Hong Yi's eyebrows, and he opened his eyes.
Seeing that Hong Yi's spirit had returned to his body, the Enduring Monk asked hurriedly.
