Chapter 1541: Chapter 1539: Saint Fire (Seventh Update)
The terrifying pressure swept towards Xiao Yifeng, making his expression quite heavy.
The Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art circulated, unleashing the power of the Seven Great Acupoints and the Seven Great Qi Cyclones, which surged into the stele and directly blasted out.
Rumble!
The strongest attacks of both sides collided, instantly erupting with terrifying energy, waves of dreadful force rippling out in all directions.
Thump, thump, thump!
With just one strike, Xiao Yifeng’s body staggered backward, his blood surging, his face pale, and he quickly pulled out a Spirit Crystal to rapidly absorb its power.
The ancestor from Jialye Temple also retreated a few steps, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yifeng. He hadn’t expected that this young man in his twenties could withstand his full-force attack.
"What is the weapon in your hand?"
Immediately, the elder’s eyes locked onto the stele in Xiao Yifeng’s hand, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, clearly thinking that Xiao Yifeng’s ability to withstand his attack was entirely due to the stele.
"I don’t want to waste words with you. Qijie, let’s go!"
Xiao Yifeng put away the stele, turned abruptly, and took Qijie, leaping into the cave entrance, disappearing from sight.
The elder also rushed forward, jumping in.
Xiao Yifeng and Qijie leapt into the cave, descending all the way, finally dropping into a chamber.
In this chamber, there were several pathways. Xiao Yifeng and Qijie stood up, scanning their surroundings.
"There are several pathways here, which one should we choose?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Qijie and asked.
"I don’t know either. The Supreme Scripture only told me the location of the Buddha Sect’s Treasure and how to unseal it. It didn’t mention anything else."
Qijie shook his head, looking equally confused.
"That old guy is chasing us. Let’s just pick one!"
Xiao Yifeng said to Qijie, immediately choosing a pathway, and the two quickly stepped into it.
Xiao Yifeng originally wanted to use his X-ray vision to explore, but found there was a mysterious aura inhibiting his ability, so they could only proceed by instinct.
However, after walking for about ten minutes, they found nothing, no treasures, absolutely nothing, like a never-ending pit, forcing them to keep moving forward.
"Qijie, are you sure this is where the Buddha Sect’s Treasure is? There’s nothing here, not even a strand of hair!"
Xiao Yifeng said with a speechless expression.
"I don’t know what’s inside the Buddha Sect’s Treasure either. Could someone have come in earlier and taken everything?"
Qijie replied.
"Let’s walk ahead and see!"
Xiao Yifeng suggested.
Soon they walked another ten minutes and finally saw a grand hall. The two of them approached and opened it.
As the grand hall opened, a powerful wave of Buddha’s Might swept out, causing the two to turn pale and feel immense pressure on their bodies and souls.
The two exerted all their strength to forcefully resist the terrifying Buddha’s Might, pushing inside.
In the grand hall, there was only a solemn Golden Buddha Statue, and nothing else.
At this moment, Qijie’s eyes showed a hint of fascination as he looked at the statue, and he involuntarily started walking towards it.
"Qijie!"
Xiao Yifeng quickly said and was about to pull Qijie back.
"Don’t disturb him!"
Long Qian suddenly spoke up.
"Senior, what’s happening to him?"
Xiao Yifeng asked in confusion.
"He has encountered a great opportunity!"
Long Qian explained.
At this moment, Qijie had already reached the Golden Buddha Statue, and it began to glow. From the statue, a Golden Bead emerged.
The bead suspended above Qijie’s body, and he sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, absorbing the energy inheritance from the Golden Bead.
"This guy is really lucky. It seems his power will advance tremendously after this!"
Xiao Yifeng remarked, observing Qijie.
"This must have been established by a strong member of the Buddha Sect back then. That bead likely contains the inheritance power left by one of their strong ones!"
Long Qian said.
"It seems many forces in the Ancient Realm are related to Earth!"
Xiao Yifeng said solemnly.
"That’s certain. Earth was originally the primitive world, and the Ancient Realm was established later. Many of the long-standing forces there migrated from this primitive world."
"Naturally, they have a deep connection, like the Kunlun Palace and this Buddha Sect’s Treasure, both are heavily linked to the Ancient Realm."
Long Qian explained calmly.
"Looks like I’m just here for nothing. The Buddha Sect people were too frugal, leaving only one bead, no other treasures for me!"
Xiao Yifeng looked around with a regretful expression, thinking he would find some treasures here, but found nothing.
"Something’s not right!"
Both Xiao Yifeng and Long Qian suddenly spoke, scanning around the grand hall.
At this moment, wisps of white flame appeared in the hall, exuding a terrifying aura, as if burning Heaven and Earth, incinerating all Buddhas, gods, and demons.
Xiao Yifeng’s heart trembled, a previously unknown fear arising, his body tense.
These white flames floated from all directions, finally gathering to form a white lotus shape, with a sense of purifying Heaven and Earth, burning away all evil thoughts, and cleansing the spirit.
Xiao Yifeng’s expression grew grim as he looked at the white flames, feeling intense pressure and fear, his palms sweating. The flames brought an overwhelming sense of oppression and fear.
These white flames were clearly extraordinary, far exceeding his Crimson Earthfire.
"It’s the Purifying Lotus Flame!"
Long Qian exclaimed.
"Senior, you know this flame?"
Xiao Yifeng asked.
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be the legendary Saint Fire, the Purifying Lotus Flame. It’s said to cleanse all evil thoughts in one’s heart, purify the spirit, and purify all evil forces in the world."
Long Qian said solemnly.
"Purifying Lotus Flame!"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the white flames, not expecting them to be Saint Fire, no wonder they gave him such a strong sense of oppression and fear.
This was the first time Xiao Yifeng had encountered Saint Fire, and it was indeed extraordinary. The mere aura left him powerless to resist.
