Chapter 1539: The Relics of Buddha
y, a glimmer of ghostly light flashed above it, and a figure appeared, transitioning from illusory to solid—it was Humazi.Sesame seed appeared, his steps staggered for a moment before he steadied hims...Only one venerable monk remains at the Zilan Temple.
After discussing, Qin Sang and Liuli decided to seize it by force!
Liuli used the Moonlight Bodhisattva to pique Venerable Chengyuan's interest, leading him to the front temple while secretly casting the Ice Soul Divine Light.
The Ice God Light is formless and intangible, one of the most suitable divine powers in the cultivation world for ambushing.
Lu Li concealed her divine powers, and even when Master Yuan, the esteemed abbot of Zhu Lan Temple, controlled the temple's protective spirit array, he couldn't detect anything unusual about Lu Li.
> When the venerable Cheongyuan appears.
Liuli didn't say a word, and just started moving.
The Godlight of Frost erupted suddenly!
“Click click!”
A freezing sound, piercingly abrupt, echoed through the void.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, the sound was drowned out by the furious roar of Venerable Chengyuan.
But by the time the other party hears the sound and realizes something is amiss, they have already been caught.
Without any warning, the void around Venerable Chengyuan solidified. He, who had shifted from the cliff face to this location, was equivalent to walking into a trap, sending himself into the depths of Bingpo Divine Light.
Master Chengyuan hadn't expected that someone would be so bold as to dare to make a move at Zhulan Temple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Relying on the Temple Guardian Formation, he can exert power beyond his realm!
A blue beam burst out.
The cold was biting.
In the void, ice condensed out of thin air and spread rapidly.
The figure of the esteemed elder appeared inside the ice, his face contorted with anger. The wrinkles on his face were more pronounced, but because he was separated by the ice, his figure and features were somewhat distorted and warped, making him look rather comical.
Luli acted without reservation, pushing the Bing Po Divine Light to its peak. Her actions were spontaneous and unrestrained, yet Venerable Cheng Yuan fell prey to her attack as expected.
Within the ice, frost took shape, spreading rapidly, converging to surround and engulf Venerable Chengyuan.
>
If sealed by the Frost God's Light, Venerable Chéngyuán could only be slaughtered at will.
'Click!'
The venerable one's kasaya was imbued with a thin layer of frost.
>
The chill had pierced through the protective true essence, invading his body.
The venerable Chengyuan will not be able to escape!
Though the situation appeared perilous, Master Chengyuan remained calm and collected.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The opponent's cultivation was high and his magical powers were unparalleled, but he did not choose the right time and place.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Unless the opponent has a way to block the Temple Guard Formation or sever Venerable Chengyuan's control over it, this tactic is impossible to pose a fatal threat to him.
Master Cheng Yuan believes that since this nun has cultivated to such a level, she certainly isn't stupid. Couldn't she have considered the impact of the temple's protective spirit formation
Since the other party did this, there must be a reason!
As crisis loomed, Master Chengyuan remained remarkably composed as he analyzed the situation.
Zilan Temple and the Six Great Temples allied, occupying the seven oases of the Sea of Sand, driving out other forces, indeed made quite a few enemies. But counting their enemies, there was none like this nun in front of them.
There was no animosity between the two parties.
The other party's intentions don't seem to be to kill him.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed through Master Chengyuan's mind.
>
"Library of the Sutras! Treasure House!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This person is bait!
When Chengyuan the Venerable suddenly realized, there must still be accomplices of the Taoist nun hiding in Zhulan Temple!
The Taoist nun wasn't seeking revenge, but rather lured him to the former temple to cooperate with her accomplices in stealing treasure.
Qin Sang and Liuli's plan was indeed very simple, never expecting to be able to hide it from Chengyuan Venerable's divine eyes.
However, even though Venerable Chengyuan saw through their intentions, the first thing that came to his mind was not the Sutra Repository where treasured martial arts secrets were kept, nor the Treasure Vault where riches were stored.
Who would have thought their goal was actually the stupa complex dedicated to past high monks
“You vile little creatures!”
Master Chengyuan was suddenly furious. A booming sound emanated from his body, like a great bell resounding through the entire Dulan Temple. All who heard it were shaken to their core.
A rich golden light emanated from the venerable Master, faintly revealing a phantom of a copper bell. Carved on it were thirteen horizontal lines, each adorned with figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
The illusory bronze bell erupted from within him, shattering the ice shards covering Venerable Cheng Yuan instantly. However, the icy aura wasn't so easily broken. The bronze bell phantom, formed hastily, was quickly covered in a layer of frost, and then cracks appeared, threatening to shatter it apart.
However, the time gained by the illusory bronze bell was enough for Master Chenyuan to activate the formation once more and shift their location to escape danger!
"Return to the mountains, close the temple!"
The Venerable Master's voice echoed throughout the entire Ju Lan Temple.
The monks of Zhi Lan Temple heard a series of angry shouts and loud noises. They were utterly bewildered, not knowing what had happened. In their panic, they heard the master's command and rushed towards the back mountain.
The venerable figure of the Master vanished from before Liu Li's eyes.
The glacial divine light fell to the empty space.
Liuli had expected this and, ignoring the terrified Abbot beside her, looked up at the direction of the pagoda forest on the back mountain. Instead of retreating, she advanced, flashing upward towards the mountain.
The venerable figure of the Master appeared above the Sutra Repository.
The most valuable treasures are held within the temple.
Thus, he decided to separate the matter of E and Luli's dispute, and immediately moved back to the rear mountain to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the chaos to steal treasures.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Sutra Repository is located on the summit, and the Treasure Vault is right next to it.
Just as he made his appearance, Master Chengyuan's robe sleeve fluttered, and a golden stream of light shot out from his sleeve, accompanied by a piercing sound like a sword cry. It shot straight into the sky and exploded in mid-air.
At that moment, layers of golden clouds spread out, bathing the earth in a Buddha's light, just like the scene described in Buddhist scriptures when the Buddha descended to earth.
All the commoners in the oasis could see the Buddha's light and golden glow. The devout Buddhists, their faces filled with ecstasy, prostrated themselves five times and chanted praises to the Buddha.

This was actually a signal used by Venerable Chengyuan to communicate and warn. The six major temples in other oases could also see the celestial phenomenon on the horizon, and they came to reinforce him.
Since the Seven Temples Alliance, it hasn't been used for a long time.
As the signal was sent, Master Chengyuan's gaze swept quickly over the crowd below.
His reaction was not slow, but the result was beyond his expectation. Everything around the Sutra Repository was normal and there was no sign of any intruders.
>Master Chengyuan was taken aback.
In his estimation, there should be at least one accomplice of the Daoist nun hiding in Zhulan Temple right now, possibly even more. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to act so boldly!
The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Having been targeted by an unknown Yuan Ying, and the other party clearly having premeditated this, Venerable Chengyuan felt a great sense of alarm. He immediately issued a warning.
>
To everyone's surprise, no one had infiltrated this place.
At that very moment.
A deafening roar came from the direction of Talin, with flames erupting into the sky!
It was noon.
The sun blazed in the sky, with no clouds for miles.
The blazing sun fell upon Tallinn, yet it could not dispel the chill that hung in the air.
When the glass was in danger, Qin Sang also began his own actions.
In the Zilan Temple, the stupa is revered as it houses relics of past masters, holding a position of supreme importance and receiving special protection.
However, what was enshrined inside were just ordinary objects. The defenses couldn't be as strict as the scripture pavilion, otherwise Qin Sang would have had to go through a lot of trouble.
With the help of a Day-Eye Butterfly, cracking such a prohibition wouldn't be difficult at all.
Taling's restrictions had long been firmly imprinted in Qin Sang's mind, having been pondered countless times.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang quietly appeared at the edge of the forest, a layer of invisible barrier before him.
He believed in Luli's abilities, not overthinking it. He focused his attention on the barrier, unwavering and single-minded.
However, Qin Sang's pupils seemed a little scattered because his mind was already connected with the Heavenly Eye Butterfly, fully activating the Heavenly Eye divine ability.
In the Tianmu Butterfly's 'vision', the barrier took on a concrete form. What was once emptiness ahead now appeared as a golden net.
Golden threads interweave, forming a fine mesh that encloses the Tallinn. The golden net extends outward, finally disappearing into the void and merging with the protective spirit array of the temple.
Only on the grandest sacrificial festivals of Buddhism are the three venerables permitted to open the pagoda.
In normal times, the monks guarding the tower dared not disturb the ancestors of past generations and did not know the method of opening it.
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly.
The divine consciousness surges out of the Purple Mansion.
The fire lotus also flew out from between her brows, guided by divine consciousness, dividing into wisps of gentle demonic fire, slowly flying towards the 'golden net' ahead.
The magic fire gently clung to the 'golden net'.
Qin Sang's control over the demonic fire had reached a level of perfection. He chose the key locations of the barrier, each selection the result of countless calculations and simulations.
In the blink of an eye, the demonic fire began to merge with the 'golden net'.
Qin Sang was focused and unwavering, not allowing her mind to wander.
This step is the most crucial part of the entire plan.
At this moment, Master Chengyuan has just been ambushed by Liu Li. He must have reacted and gone to protect the Sutra Repository.
Once Qin Sang makes a mistake and brings the esteemed Elder Chengyuan to Tarlin in advance, all previous efforts will likely be in vain.
It seems that the golden wires on the Jinwang are gradually turning black, replaced by demonic flames. In reality, the true situation of breaking the ban is terrifying, a huge test for Qin Sang's mental fortitude.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He did not directly break a passage through the barrier. Doing so would inevitably alarm Venerable Chengyuan.
His plan was to proceed cautiously, disrupting several key nodes of the barrier and weakening its defenses to a certain extent. Finally, with a final push, he would storm into Tarlin, leaving no opportunity for Venerable Chengyuan to intervene.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Master Chengyuan appeared above the Sutra Repository, golden clouds obscured the sky.
>
The gold net seemed to be rotting, with several unsightly black patches appearing on it.
From beginning to end, the disciples responsible for guarding the Spirit Formation didn't notice Qin Sang's actions.
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, his eyes flashed brightly, and he suddenly raised his hand to press towards the 'golden net'.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The magic banner flew swiftly, and the demonic flames instantly took shape.
Qin Sang's arm muscles were knotted, and the demon fire dragon swirled above them. Along with his heavy punch, it slammed heavily on the golden net.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
'Boom!'
A deafening roar shook the Zhulan Temple.
Within the tower forest, pagoda after pagoda trembled violently. The lights of Buddha on their peaks flickered erratically.
>
A gap had been ripped open in the barrier!
Between the dancing flames, a figure darted into Talin like lightning, charging straight towards one of the stupas.
The pagoda of Zhu Lan Temple is built from a kind of yellow ore, said to be non-existent in the vast sea. It is rumored that when the temple migrated here, the monks brought this spiritual stone from their homeland.
The pagodas are of varying heights, but arranged in an orderly fashion. They all have the same hexagonal, single-tiered eaves design. The number of tiers on each pagoda corresponds to the level of contribution the monk made to the temple during their lifetime, ranging from a minimum of five tiers to a maximum of nine.
The stupa enshrining the relics of Master Hongyi, with its nine superimposed eaves, is one of the most grand stupas in the pagoda forest.
"Whoosh!"
Qin Sang's figure appeared on the top of the tower.
Relics are within easy reach.
Even with his nature, a smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth. Without hesitation, he reached into the Buddha's light and grabbed for the relic.
"Let go!"
An angry shout came from above.
A shadow appeared above Talin. Venerable Chenyuan sensed something amiss and moved to intervene, but it was too late to stop Qin Sang.
The touch is smooth and warm, comparable to a gemstone.
Qin Sang grabbed the stupa, without raising his head, immediately retreated.
At the same time, his divine sense converged in his palm, forming a phantom talisman. It enveloped the relic and adhered closely to its surface before vanishing in a flash.
This is the secret technique taught by Xiāoxiāngzǐ.
If the relics turn out to be fake, then I'd have to pay a visit to Master Chengyuan anyway. I'll just barge into the Scripture Repository and the Treasury!
After today, the Zhu Lan Temple will definitely be on high alert. There won't be a better opportunity.
As soon as the seal was imprinted, Qin Sang immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the stupa. Through the seal, he sensed a strange power within the stupa.
This power lay dormant within, and even if Qin Sang had obtained the relic, he would have ignored it without Xiao Xiangzi's guidance. No wonder Zhulan Temple had never noticed it.
"It's true!"
Qin Sang's heart leaped with joy, just as he was about to retract his divine sense and withdraw, he suddenly 'heard' a faint sound.
Something seemed to have broken.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
It wasn't something Qin Sang heard with his ears, but rather sensed with his divine consciousness, coming from within the relic!
Immediately following that, Qin Sang's expression suddenly tightened.
For some reason, the relic in his hand suddenly became scorching hot, as if a seal had been there originally, and Qin Sang's probing action inadvertently broke it open. The power inside began to surge and even erupted!
This situation was not mentioned by Xiao Xiangzi, it was entirely unexpected.
Qin Sang did not cast the complete secret art to refine the stupa, only using the first half. When he sensed the power within, he immediately stopped. According to common sense, a stupa should not erupt violently.
In Qin Sang's perception, the relic was not originally a complete whole.
Thinking about the process of relic formation, Qin Sang suddenly realized and faintly guessed the reason.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At first, Master Hongyi attempted to break through using a mystical treasure but failed, resulting in his death and disappearance. The 'seal' outside is likely formed from the essence of Master Hongyi when he passed away, fused with the mystical treasure that still possessed immense power. This combination was able to seal the treasure, preserving it for posterity.
As time goes by.
The 'seal' is gradually weakening and becoming more fragile.
For this very reason, Qin Sang gently tested it, touching that power, causing the relic to become abnormal. The 'seal' could not contain the power of the exotic treasure, and the power of the exotic treasure, dormant for many years, began to recover.
Even without Qin Sang, over time, the imbalance within the relic would grow, and the power of the exotic treasures would eventually erupt.
For Qin Sang, it was also an unexpected crisis.
If he were to move elsewhere, he could instantly meditate and refine the sarira.
To contemplate in Zhi Lan Temple is no different from seeking death.
Qin Sang's face changed slightly, his divine sense surged towards his palm, layer upon layer of divine sense overlaid, enveloping the relic, but it was unable to stop that force from erupting.
He certainly wouldn't sit idly by. His mind raced, and he urged the Fire Lotus to take action, constructing a magical fire seal.
Fortunately, the 'seal' on Shélizī was not completely broken. Qin Sang's actions truly worked, temporarily stabilizing the 'seal'. However, it could only delay some time. He had to escape as soon as possible and find a place to refine it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang secretly let out a breath of relief.
At this moment, the Venerable Chengyuan's gaze shifted from Qin Sang to his palm, sensing the fluctuations of the relic.
He still couldn't understand how the abbot of the Jinglan Temple, after venerating the relic for so long, remained oblivious to its true value.
The enemy side dispatched two Yuan Ying mid-stage masters. With such a huge effort, the value of the relic must be beyond imagination.
>
Thus have I heard!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Master Chengyuan folded his hands together in reverence, his voice low and resonant.
>
Using some unknown secret technique, Venerable Chengyuan's bones creaked and his aura surged wildly!
