In the underwater island ruins, Yi Tian met the gift-giver by chance, and the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. After a while, they continued to walk deeper into the stone path together.
Yi Tian realized that although the surroundings had been abandoned for a long time, the stone buildings left behind had the shadow of the Thunder Light Zen Temple. He felt that it was very interesting. Since the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu sealed half of his heart here, why would he build a Buddhist temple here?
It was a little unbelievable that a demon cultivator would place his own secret treasure in a Buddhist temple. But Yi Tian could guess that Master Jie Ding's half of the Heart of Buddha must have tortured the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu to the extreme.
It was no wonder that Master Jie Ding had sacrificed half of his heart to place him here all those years ago. If it was him, he would have done the same. As Yi Tian was thinking, he suddenly heard Song Li's voice, "Brother Yi, come and take a look here. Maybe you'll find something."
Following the direction Song Li pointed, Yi Tian saw a ten feet tall Buddha statue in the distance. Different from other places, the left half of the Buddha statue looked like a normal temple, while the right half was in the form of a demon.
He thought to himself, "This is Master Jie Ding's Good and Evil Zen form, 'One Thought Buddha Demon'. I didn't expect it to be carved like this."
After taking a closer look, Yi Tian was surprised to find that the face of the Buddha statue was actually that of Master Jie Ding and the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu. However, the left half of the stone statue's heart was missing. After Yi Tian's visual inspection, it seemed that only half of the heart was left.
He was shocked and thought, "Is it hinting at something? This is where the Sacred Demon Crown Prince buried half of his Heart of Buddha. So the statue in front of me is also half demon and half Buddha. The missing part of the heart perfectly matches the scene of the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu abandoning his Heart of Buddha. "
After looking at it for a while, the color of the remaining half of the heart seemed to be the same as the color of the half-demon on the right side. Yi Tian pulled himself together and stared at the half-Buddha's face. He saw that the half-Buddha's face had a troubled, puzzled, and conflicted expression.
After seeing all this, Yi Tian gradually had all kinds of doubts. Although there were some indescribable oddities, he couldn't put his finger on them. Perhaps he could only find the answer in the secret chamber if he continued to investigate.
Soon, Song Li returned after taking a stroll around the area. Then, he sent a voice transmission and asked, "Brother Yi, did you find anything special?"
Pointing at the Buddha statue in front of him, Yi Tian replied, "Only this place is the most special, but the entrance to the secret treasure cannot be found?"
As he spoke, he sensed two spiritual pressure fluctuations coming from the back of the temple. Needless to say, it was Scarlet Eyed Demon and Dugu Chenglong. Thinking about how he was able to find this place, he wasn't much slower than them.
Yi Tian and Song Li looked at each other. Then, they stood apart and maintained a certain distance. In this kind of environment, they couldn't appear to be too familiar with each other, lest they arouse suspicion.
After a while, the two walked over from the northwest and northwest of the temple ruins. Seeing the two arrive first, Scarlet Eyed Demon and Dugu Chenglong were slightly startled. Then, they returned to normal.
Scarlet-Eyed Demon walked up to Yi Tianyun and asked, "Did you find anything suspicious here, Fellow Daoist Yi?"
"The stone statue in front of us is the most suspicious, but I didn't find any clues about the entrance to the secret chamber. I think with Fellow Daoist Scarlet Eyed Demon's knowledge, you should be able to find some clues, "Yi Tian replied.
Sizing up the stone statue below, Scarlet Eyed Demon nodded and said, "The key is with me. I don't know what we will face after going in. Everyone, be careful."
These words were transmitted separately, which immediately attracted the attention of the three. Scarlet Eyed Demon walked up and took out half of a quaint spirit stone from his storage ring. There seemed to be some kind of formation pattern engraved on it. It was of the same origin as the formation pattern on the half-demon half-buddha stone statue.
Reaching out, he gently inserted the quaint spirit stone into the left side of the heart of the stone statue. Yi Tian saw that the heart of the statue had been sealed tightly.
Then, a spirit formation pattern was activated from the heart of the stone statue. The spirit power transmitted from the heart connected with the pattern on the ground, shining with white spirit light within a hundred feet.
A hint of surprise flashed through Yi Tian's eyes. He was familiar with this formation pattern. Wasn't it the same formation pattern at the entrance to the secret realm in the Great Lightning Temple?
There were various signs that indicated that even though Master Jie Ding had fallen into the Demon Dao, his heart was still not completely demonized. Moreover, there were still many traces of the Buddhist Sect.
Just as he was thinking, he felt a slight vibration coming from below. Then, a halo of light shot out from the forehead of the Buddha statue and hit the stone wall ten feet away. A door of light appeared on the wall. After a violent tremor, it split into four and lined up in front of the four of them.
Scarlet Eyed Demon looked at it and said, "This is the Four Symbols Teleportation Formation. It seems like it's the only way to enter the secret realm. However, it seems like each door is a one-way teleportation and can only be used once. "
"Let's go in. Since we're already here, we should give it a try. Otherwise, this trip won't be in vain," Dugu Chenglong transmitted his voice.
Scarlet Eyed Demon looked hesitant. If they went in separately, they would definitely part ways with the three of them. However, they did not know what else they would encounter inside. He had received a secret message from Great Devil Saint Bao Chi. If they were separated here, it would be difficult to deal with what would happen next.
After thinking for a while, Scarlet Eyed Demon did not move. He seemed to be hesitating. Meanwhile, Song Li stood aside and observed. On the surface, his side was the weakest, so he should not be the first to jump out. However, thinking that he could part ways with everyone after going in, Song Li's face showed a relaxed expression.
Among the three of them, he had the least confidence to deal with Scarlet Eyed Demon, but even if they met inside, there was only a 1/3 chance. It was better than being at a loss outside.
Yi Tian stepped forward and chose the first green door, then transmitted his voice, "Then I'll go first. Does anyone have any objections?"
Scarlet Eyed Demon hesitated for a moment and nodded. Invincible Blade Song Li stepped forward and said, "Please give the first place to me. I think Fellow Cultivator Dugu thinks so too."
Dugu Chenglong was startled at first, then he realized that Song Li's words had a hidden meaning. No matter which demon cultivator went first, he would be at a disadvantage. Instead of that, it was better to enter the secret realm first. This way, his situation would improve.
Scarlet Eyed Demon lowered his head and said a few words privately. Then, Scarlet Eyed Demon nodded. Then, Song Li flew straight toward the first door with the green dragon mark chosen by Yi Tian. After three breaths, he disappeared.
Yi Tian slightly curled the corner of his mouth and chose the second door with the white tiger mark.
