Heartlost was one of the three top pagodas ten thousand years ago .
The golden age of Buddhism lasted for more than twenty thousand years, so was the age of Heartlost .
Jin, on the other hand, had only been founded for six thousand years . In terms of their prime, Jin had no chance in terms of power and resources .
Heartlost was once potentially stronger than the current Sacred Spirit Palace .
Thus, even though it was destroyed, there were still plenty of broken formations and seals here . Ten thousand years weren’t enough to wither them .
Some people said that these broken formations would lead to the center of the ruins - a vast place filled with remnant dangers from antiquity .
People came to search for treasures but none has been able to figure out the ruins . Even Enlightened Beings trod carefully in this place .
Feiyun saw Wang Anyu and the old men disappearing into the fog . Intuition told him that these men weren’t simple . They must have figured out something here .
“Come, we’re going too!” Feiyun went to the place where these old men had disappeared .
He saw an incomplete wall with Buddhist glyphs seemingly depicting a profundity .
Liu Ruixin came here to treasure hunt so she was prepared: “The formations here are broken but they were still prepared by monks at the Enlightened Being level . You might die if you don’t know formation . ”
She had a gloating smile, ready to see this pervert give up and stop acting haughty .
“Giants have been killed here . These formations are serious . ” Mu Xirou added .
Feiyun waved his fan, not giving a damn while trying to act cool . He casually drew some bright lines in the air, squirming just like worms .
“Whoosh!” A light emerged - one could see a faint door opening .
“Let’s go . ” He chuckled and entered .
“What? This damned pervert knows the dao of formations too, opening an Enlightened Being’s formation… Pah, what am I saying?!” Ruixin’s eyes were wide open . She was angry but still followed along .
They found themselves in a desert consisting of tattered temples and shrines . This used to be a Buddhist city .
Unfortunately, it has lost its previous prosperity . One could see the sad laments of old monks, sounding like the last curtain call .
The paved streets have deteriorated into sands . Only the shrines and temples that have been blessed with Buddhist runes remained . A few had powerful formations, allowing them to keep the same form .
“To the sages and living beings, Buddha is eternal . Our Buddhist heart is eternal…”
One could see Buddhists worshipping their ancestors among the ruins .
“They’re all masters here . ” Feiyun no longer acted carelessly since he felt several monstrous auras, seemingly stronger than him . These should belong to reclusive masters .
The golden energy in his body started resonating with this area . Even the scripture itself started flashing inside his spatial stone . Perhaps it sensed something .
Wang Anyu and his group were nowhere to be seen . This city wasn’t that large but their divine intents were suppressed here . Finding people became problematic and running around aimlessly could lead to death .
Feiyun stopped searching for the old men and decided to sense the path with his golden energy .
“We can’t go any farther, that’s the great hall ahead . ” Ruixin said .
She has studied a map of this place before and knew about the forbidden location .
Of course, she would be happy to see this pervert die but he might bring them down with him too .
“Why not?” The golden energy in him doubled in rotation . The scripture nearly flew out of his spatial stone . This meant that a great fortune was waiting ahead .
He came specifically for this so how could he stop now?
“Heartlost Pagoda is done for but there are still forbidden zones . The great hall, diamond courtyard, and freedom palace are very strange . There are devious things left behind from ten thousand years ago, believed to be imprisoned creatures by the monks . They’re still alive now . Or maybe, the monks back then have turned into fiends yet are still protecting this place . ”
“Fiends?” Feiyun chuckled .
“Let’s talk about the great hall then, two Enlightened Beings and six Paramount Giants have died here, at least according to the records . ” Ruixin looked at the broken temples around them and whispered, afraid of waking something up .
Feiyun stopped smiling as his eyes narrowed . He noticed a towering temple ahead, completely dark inside as if there was a devil waiting for people to come right into its jaws .
He remained patient but didn’t rush in . Alas, he couldn’t give up either .
Not far from the right hall was a convent named White Mountain that seems relatively intact . The walls were still broken along with the roof . Only the worshipped entity remained untouched - the statue of a Bodhisattva .
They decided to stay there for now . Feiyun calculated the danger in the great hall using his Minor Change .
This process lasted the entire day yet he didn’t learn anything . On the other hand, the backlash from divining nearly wounded him .
He did confirm one thing - the scripture was leading him to the great hall . There was a big fortune waiting for him there .
“Boom!” A loud explosion came from the hall .
Two rays shot out from within - two members of Wang Anyu’s group, shrouded in a Buddhist light . So this group has entered the great hall after going inside the formation .
They came with five and only two have left with grievous injuries .
“Ssss!” A strange sound came from the hall . A black ray carrying yin essence shot out towards the two escaping old men .
“Firmament Wheel Palm!” One of them placed his palms together and created a blinding seal behind him with a radius of ten meters to stop the ray .
Feiyun looked up to the sky, feeling impressed .
The old man’s cultivation exceeded his expectations . The guy was at peak eighth-level, one step higher than Wu Qinghua .
The other old man was even stronger and attacked with a string of eighteen Buddhist beads . They turned into eighteen stars with mighty force .
Feiyun hurriedly activated his ring and the five diagrams to protect the convent .
“Boom!” Alas, the two men couldn’t stop the offense from the thing inside the great hall .
The first Super Giant turned into mincemeat . The other had broken bones everywhere but managed to stay alive .
“Boom!” He fell down like a meteor and struck the convent, breaking one section of the wall .
The three girls inside became frightened after seeing the fall .
Fortunately, their convent has been blessed by powerful monks in the past so it survived the impact .
Feiyun put away his ring and went to the rubbles to dig out the losing combatant .
The guy turned out to be a monk on the verge of death . His black hat got crushed, revealing his true appearance .
His blood had a powerful Buddhist affinity so even though he was just laying there, he still emitted a mighty aura deterring others from getting close .
He clearly hid his identity because his group has figured out a big secret . Unfortunately, the danger in the great hall surpassed their expectation so he became the lone survivor .
Feiyun instantly thought about many things and even had a good idea about the monk’s identity .
