Feiyun got out of the rift and found himself in the cave back in Endless Land again . The seven-colored barrier behind him crumbled and turned into chaotic space .
These rifts required refinements and consolidation . Otherwise, even a Giant would be crushed to death inside .
The formations to stabilize the rift have been damaged . The rift itself was still there but couldn’t be used . A master versed in space would need to repair it for future usage .
“The ice palace broke down so these rifts and formations are done for too . ” Feiyun stared at the rift and wondered who was the person who found and strengthened it .
Even an Enlightened Being might not know the methods to find spatial rifts and make passageways out of them .
It must have been the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess . He recalled that during her departure, she pointed at the void and opened a portal - clearly indicating her mastery of spatial formations .
The ice in the cave has melted as well . The ice essences were gone too but this wasn’t surprising to Feiyun .
The cold energy here clearly had something to do with the ice palace . Now that the latter was gone, the energy has lost its source so it would naturally melt . Feiyun even speculated that the ice here wasn’t frozen water because it disappeared way too fast .
He took out an item . It had a golden brilliance with a Buddhist aura . It looked quite sacred as well .
This was the thing he got from the ice palace - a seven-inch golden statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva . The round, bald head made it look like a goose egg . This statue was happily laughing and sat cross-legged on a twelfth-ranked lotus seat . He wore a string of beads around his neck and had his palms placed together .
His robe was open, revealing his big stomach . However, the most noticeable thing for Feiyun was the golden silkworm on his back .
In the beginning, Feiyun thought that it was an egg .
On the second look, it looked like a baby silkworm .
On the third, it matured a bit more .
On the fourth glance, it turned into a silkworm .
On the fifth focus, it was releasing strings in a magical manner, almost like a golden dragon spewing out water .
On the sixth, the worm turned into a golden cocoon . The strings seemed to be heavenly laws intertwined together, resulting in a golden ball .
On the seventh attempt, the silkworm broke the cocoon and turned into a golden moth . It raised its wings with an aura comparable to a phoenix .
The seven transformations resembled seven rotating images . However, they had changes each time .
For example, the first one was just the shape of an egg . Alas, it was different every time in terms of shape .
Feiyun instantly recognized that the seven images were a supreme merit law with profound transformations . Just the first one with the egg had 1,800 variations .
“What a wondrous treasure in Jin…” He was moved at this sight . This merit law was actually comparable to his Immortal Phoenix Physique, truly a great scripture for cultivation .
“Is this the legendary Golden Silkworm Scripture?” He calmed down and wondered .
He recalled that he heard someone scream out “golden silkworm” when he sets foot on the rift . That persona clearly recognized the golden statue .
After realizing this, he utilized his Minor Change Art and the power of the five elements to hide the aura of the statue .
The appearance of this supreme scripture would tempt many big shots . Among them were those skilled in calculation and divination . It wouldn’t be good if they find out that he has the scripture .
His worries were warranted . Alas, he didn’t realize that it was too late .
“I wonder if people know it is in my possession right now . ” The more he thought about it, the more intuition told him that things were going sour .
He wanted to return to the surface and performed his own divination about potential dangers . He didn’t use the old path but directly moved upward to make it out .
The area on top of him was a dark forest . He then landed on a small peak nearby, looking quite cool .
Two plumes of flames rushed out of his eyes to look at the starry sky .
The stars really came out to play tonight . Feiyun’s eyes narrowed and noticed bloody clouds by the north swallowing the stars . They headed southward, aiming straight for his own fate star .
“Damn, a terrible sign with no way out . Murderous intents are heading straight toward Endless Land . They figured it out . ” After observing the stars, Feiyun used his Minor Change Art on the dirt to calculate more .
He didn’t get many details, only that the momentums of the world were soaring towards Ancient Jiang . The scripture must be the reason why .
He felt danger as if the shadow of death is looming above him . Even the court and the Feng wouldn’t dare to protect him since this was too problematic .
A powerful sect like Beastmaster didn’t dare to let others know of their incomplete version . That thing wasn’t worth one-tenth the value of the real version . However, the camp could have been destroyed if others have known about it .
Now, Feiyun had the perfect scripture . No power could protect him now without him handing it over .
That might not guarantee his safety either . Why? Because since he had possession of it, others would think that he would have read it .
Thus, those who couldn’t obtain the actual thing would try to capture him instead .
“I can’t hand the scripture over . No, I must deny that I have it at all . ”
By not handing the scripture over, Feiyun at least had a ten percent chance of survival . If he were to hand it over to another power, he would definitely die soon after .
