Chapter 1137.4 - The Heavenly Stupa

When the black hole formed earlier, it destroyed much of the mountain range below it. Countless chunks of earth and stone were destroyed, but much more was sucked into the black hole and flew into the sky. They then vanished without a trace.

Before Lin Feng entered the black hole, he could feel it in his heart, but it was a vague sensation. All he knew was that there was some power guiding the destroyed ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

However, as the black hole devoured everything, this power was concealed, and Lin Feng could not easily sense it anymore. Now, as he looked at the tall tower that stretched into the heaven, his previous suspicions were confirmed.

Through the purple light, he could see that the tower was squarish. Its four sides were 48000 zhang long and it was 48000 zhang tall too. It had seven floors and while it appeared to be formed from gravel and stones, it emitted a mystical aura despite its ruined façade.

While the tower looked shoddy, Lin Feng and the rest could clearly identify it as a Buddhist stupa!

The seven-storied stupa stood in the center of the sea of purple light and absorbed the pure spiritual energy from it.

"The best place to hide a leaf is a forest…," thought Lin Feng as he stared at the stupa. "The all-consuming power of the black hole was actually able to hide something like this."

After destroying the Great Thunderclap Temple and obtaining a lot of Buddhist treasures and Buddhist scriptures, the Zhou Emperor Liang Pan’s understanding of Buddhist teachings could be ranked first among his contemporaries. Looking at this scene, his heart grew heavy as he thought, "It seems complete and the ceremony is probably finished. Destroying the stupa is useless."

At that moment, the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai trembled slightly and Buddhist light shone from it.

Earlier, Liang Pan used a huge amount of sariras from the Great Thunderclap Temple to rebuild the Imperial Palace. Now, under the call of the stupa, it started to react as well.

Yan Nanlai’s expression was complex. The Great Void Sect knew about the Buddhist teachings too. Looking at the scene before him, his eyes reflected the turbulence in his heart.

The stupa was more or less formed. However, as the black hole sucked in more and more debris and gravel, the stupa directed all of them to itself.

The new debris congregated on top of the stupa but it did not change its size. Instead, the stupa felt heavier and heavier.

While it was just a stupa made from earth and stone, which normally would not catch the attention of Lin Feng and the rest, a Buddhist chant could be heard from the stupa, shaking the entire sea of purple light. Then, the chant spread toward the Divine Lands through the black hole.

An infinite amount of bright light, illuminating all corners of the world, accompanied the Buddhist chant. Day and night no longer existed. All that was left was brightness.

The black hole’s power of attraction was extremely strong and other than objects with form, it was also able to absorb the formless chanting and light into it too. However, it was no longer able to stop them from leaving it now.

The Buddhist light, which radiated more and more heat, shone out from the black hole and onto the destroyed landscape below. Now, it was as if the world was being rebuilt after an apocalypse.

The many, depressed Buddhist cultivators could all sense it. In their hearts, it was as if a storm had passed and their sorrow gradually faded, only to be replaced by an ethereal calm.

More powerful Buddhist cultivators looked in the direction of the Great Thunderclap Temple and saw the flashing Buddhist light in the sky. They could hear the chanting as well.

The weaker Buddhist cultivators were unable to locate the light and chanting with their ears and eyes. However, they felt as if a light was shining down on their hearts. The chanting and light appeared to have gone straight into their hearts.

All Buddhist cultivators now had a look of bliss on their faces. Regardless where they were, they all sat down in a lotus position, placed their palms, and started reciting the scriptures.

In the vast Divine Lands, all mortals who believed in Buddhism could feel a palpitation in their hearts. They started to recite the scriptures too, while some offered incense.

Bit by bit, drop by drop, the combined wishes of all Buddhist cultivators and the countless incenses that were being offered right now harmonized with the stupa. A powerful energy, that was neither mana nor spiritual energy, was infused into the stupa.

The light from the stupa shone brighter and brighter as it soon enveloped the entire world.

The scripture recitation in the hearts of the Buddhist cultivators and mortal believers became brighter and brighter.

What caught the attention of Lin Feng and company was the fact that on the stupa, a large amount of light started to appear. There appeared to 48000 dots of light and in every one of them, there was a vast, mystical Buddhist power. Looking at them, they appeared to be sariras.

Lin Feng looked at the top of the stupa. There, there were three seats. The center and left seats each had a figure covered in light, while the right seat remained empty.

Looking at the figures of light, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Both figures were humanoid and completely gold. They were about 6 zhang tall and completely covered in light.

While a long time had passed since the destruction of the Great Thunderclap Temple, many normal Buddhist scriptures and drawings were passed down. Lin Feng had seen some of them and he could naturally recognize the two figures.

After Emperor Ru abdicated to become the Buddha, he had ten exceptional disciples who were the most well-versed in Buddhism. They were later known as the Ten Great Disciples.

After these Ten Great Disciples ascended into Nirvana, they each left behind a Golden Form Spiritual Appearance, which was used to protect the Great Thunderclap Temple and Buddhism from destruction.

Now, the figures that appeared before them were naturally not some of the Ten Great Disciples themselves, but their golden forms.

In the last War of the Two Worlds, after the Great Thunderclap Temple was invaded by the Hades Emperor, the golden forms of the Ten Great Disciples were lost. After a long search, some of them were found but much more was lost.

No one thought that they would be able to see these golden forms in the black hole.

One of them was the eloquent Purna, the Buddhist disciple who was well-known for his ability to preach to the masses.

The other one was Sariputra, the wisest and most well-versed of the Ten Great Disciples.

Lin Feng thought, "After the fall of the Hades Emperor and his transformation into the black hole, were these golden forms were sealed here with his remnant spiritual energy?"

"This ceremony was probably in the making for a long time. When the black hole first appeared, it was already started. It absorbed the vast amount of spiritual energy here and then waited for this scene right now, which is likely the final step…"

"This means that there should be a third golden form around here." Lin Feng looked in the void at the top of the stupa, but it was empty.

Looking at this scene, Lin Feng sighed softly. He feared that his prediction was right.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage looked at the Heavenly Stupa before him and his expression was uncertain. However, he did not waste any time but instead, pushed his powers to its fullest.

The sea of purple light appeared strong on the outside, but it was actually weak on the inside. Much of the spiritual energy had been absorbed by the seven-storied Heavenly Stupa. His trip here had failed. All he did was to help the other party complete the final step.

Staying here was futile, and possibly deadly.

While the Golden Roc Grand Sage was extremely disappointed, he had no other desire but to escape immediately.

"Hua Zhen, go!" He shouted at the Peacock Grand Sage and then, the Golden Roc Grand Sage opened his beak and an odd door appeared from it.

The door appeared and behind it, countless stars glittered. It was his gate to the Starry Sea.

The Golden Roc Grand Sage said nothing as light shot out from his eyes and fell upon the gate to the Starry Sea. The huge gate started to vibrate and suddenly, a vast amount of starlight poured out from it. It did not come toward Lin Feng but instead, it enveloped the gate itself.

In the next instant, the gate to the Starry Sea gradually turned into a shadow.

In this entire process, a powerful energy burst forth and combined with the power of the Golden Roc Grand Sage himself. Forcibly, he escaped from Lin Feng’s Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell.

Lin Feng’s gaze flashed. "Oh? He sacrificed his own gate to the Starry Sea?"

Unlike the White Tiger Grand Sage, who just obtained the gate to the Starry Sea and did not know how to operate it, the Golden Roc Grand Sage had the gate with him for quite some time. Hence, he understood its functions and abilities clearly.

But he knew that under this situation, there was only one thing he could do.

That was for him to sacrifice his own gate to the Starry Sea and used its massive power to escape.

This time, he was heading back empty-handed. He lost his gate to the Starry Sea and the bone. He had given up so much and got nothing in return. Even if he escaped, he may not be able to fully recover from this blow.

However, as long as he could escape, there was a chance for a revival. Even if hope was slim, the Golden Roc Grand Sage was resolute and decisive. He did not fear a fight to the death, nor would he give up hope.

At this moment, there was nothing much to think about except his escape. After he left the black hole, he planned on finding the bone and then make his next plans. Even if he had to keep a low-profile for a long time and bide his time, he would rise again.

Lin Feng extended his palms as he grabbed onto the gate to the Starry Sea. With his other hand, he tried to grab the Golden Roc Grand Sage.

At that moment, a blurry ball of gas appeared before him. It too came for the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s gate to the Starry Sea.

The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage appeared before him. Lin Feng arched his eyebrows and purple clouds surged forth, clashing with the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. The blurry ball of gas split apart and a jade-white, delicate hand was revealed.

This hand spun in void space and did not try to grab the gate to the Starry Sea. Instead, it went for Lin Feng’s other hand, which tried to grab the Golden Roc Grand Sage, blocking him.

"Oh?" Lin Feng’s gaze flashed as he stared at the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s bright eyes.

On the other side, Yan Nanlai too tried to stop the Golden Roc Grand Sage. However, the latter had no intention of battling with him. All he wanted to do was to escape. There was nothing Yan Nanlai could do.

At this moment, a change started to take place on the Heavenly Stupa. The golden forms of Purna and Sariputra started to morph.
