This was the first time Luo Kai had fully activated his spiritual power after going through a life and death situation. In a trance, the whole world became hazy, as if everything had turned into an illusion. He faintly felt something in his heart.
The image only lasted for one ten-thousandth of a second before disappearing without a trace. All kinds of attacks were already coming at him.
The thin needles formed by the Blade of Severance could sense the incoming killing intent. They buzzed excitedly and shuttled back and forth like sewing needles. They quickly weaved a large net in front of him. This net pierced through space and cut off any transmission of power. The various attacks launched by the group of physical masters were like water droplets falling into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
But then the invisible net shattered with a loud bang. Luo Kai's vision turned black and he almost lost consciousness. The thin needle formed by the Blade of Severance also dimmed a lot in an instant. It let out a clear cry of fear and quickly retreated into the space between Luo Kai's eyebrows, desperately trying to drill back in.
Luo Kai helplessly reached out and pinched it. This little thing was too intelligent now, it even had emotions like fear.
Looking around, the resurrected Golden-winged Wisdom King had a dull expression. His eyes flashed with red light, very similar to the dark life forms he had encountered before. In fact, it was a puppet without a consciousness.
Taoism had a saying of three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. The soul could independently leave the body, but the physical souls had to be attached to the gas. The soul could be understood as spiritual consciousness. Life forms that had stepped into the realm of spiritual cultivation could leave their spiritual consciousness and explore the outside world.
The physical souls were the body's genetic instincts. Generally speaking, after a life form died, the soul would disperse. But obviously, these evil sects had developed a method to retain the physical souls. In other words, the genetic instincts were still there, but they were unconscious, like a beast without thoughts.
While thinking, he took a small step back. There were at least five or six physical masters in the hall, and two of them were high-level physical masters. Even if the Blade of Severance had the power of space, it would not be able to withstand this kind of attack. The Heavenly Thunder Palace had been completely occupied by the evil sects. Even if a Saint came in person, it would be difficult to change anything.
Pu Guang and the others looked at each other and launched their own attacks again. Among them, the one with the strongest momentum was the man with the machete. When he waved his machete, a fierce momentum rushed out, making people feel as if they were in a battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This was a physical technique with a spiritual attack, which could shock the opponent's mind.
Luo Kai already had the intention to retreat. Just as he was about to leave, the dying Bhikkhu suddenly opened his eyes. His turbid eyes were unusually bright, and a solemn light emerged from behind his head. The light in the hall began to disappear, and soon it was dark. At last, only the hazy golden light could be seen. Everything was stagnant, and time was frozen at this moment.
Luo Kai was also in a trance. When he regained his senses, he had already arrived at a magnificent hall. He was extremely shocked. If he had not sensed wrongly, what the bhikkhu used just now was a kind of time cultivation method.
The hall was completely made of gold. It was so bright that it made people dizzy. In the center of the hall stood a high platform. A fat monk was sitting on a praying mat. To be precise, it was a corpse. It was vivid and lifelike, without any signs of decay.
The Bhikkhu and Zha Kun were lying on the side. Their injuries were extremely serious, and they were already on the verge of death. The Bhikkhu's heart had been shattered, and it was already a miracle that they were still conscious.
Zha Kun looked fine on the outside, but his five viscera and six bowels were all damaged.
The body was the carrier of consciousness. Once the body's functions were completely lost, the consciousness would quickly dissipate between heaven and earth. Only the two Buddhist monks who were proficient in spiritual power were able to hold on until now.
The two Buddhist monks had a peaceful expression, without the slightest abnormal expression of impending death. The Bhikkhu waved at Luo Kai with a benevolent expression.
Luo Kai walked forward and said softly, "Great Master, do you have any instructions for me?"
The Bhikkhu raised his body and whispered something in his ear. The light in his eyes dissipated, and he was gone.
Luo Kai's heart darkened. For the first time since his rebirth, he felt a trace of sadness spread in the bottom of his heart. He was stunned for a moment.
"Amitabha, Senior Brother has already seen a trace of the supreme mystery of Buddhism. We have been fighting back and forth, but we don't know that Senior Brother is the one with the highest cultivation of Buddhism!" Zha Kun chanted the name of Buddha in disappointment.
Luo Kai came back to his senses and asked, "Great Master, what is going on? How did your people become part of the evil cult?"
Zha Kun sighed and said, "I specialize in the secret technique of the Mind's Eye. I thought that my All Seeing Eye could see through the world, but I can't see through the hearts of the people around me. The Kasyapa Sect has all submitted to the Abyss Temple. It seems that the evil cult saint has already been born!"
It turned out that as soon as they returned to the main hall, the Kasyapa Sect suddenly launched an attack. First, the Golden Winged Wisdom King's corpse in the Bhikkhu's arms suddenly came back to life and launched a sneak attack. The Bhikkhu was severely injured in an instant, and then countless disciples were slaughtered.
"Abyss Temple?" Luo Kai's expression became serious. It was another saint.
Zha Kun's cheeks flushed red, and he continued, "The Abyss Temple is an extremely ancient evil cult. In the beginning, it was just like the Heavenly Thunder Palace, a group of humans who studied Buddhism and Daoism. Later on, there was a difference in the philosophy of cultivation between the two. They believed that any life must face the instincts of the body and the most real desires. They focused on studying some evil and rapid evolution methods.
The Abyss Temple combined the strengths of Daoism and Buddhism. They also focused on the power of the soul, and were good at bewitching people. They also had a kind of evil Daoist technique that could resurrect the dead. Their goal was not only the Bodhi Sarira, but also the Relic Pagoda of the Heavenly Thunder Palace, where the eminent monks of Buddhism who had passed away in meditation for generations were stored. The key to the Relic Pagoda was in the hands of the eldest senior brother, so Pu Guang tricked him into coming back. "
Zha Kun's black eye sockets stared straight at Luo Kai, and he said without any sadness or joy, "This is the Relic Pagoda of the Heavenly Thunder Palace. Young benefactor, there is the corpse of my master inside, and there is a wisp of Immeasurable Fire of Karma stored inside. Burn all the corpses here." After saying this, he uttered a long Buddhist chant, and completely stopped breathing.
Luo Kai muttered in a low voice, "Abyss Temple."
After standing still for a while, his thoughts returned to calmness. Some things had already become the cause, and he might be the effect in the future.
After a long time, he bowed towards the two corpses, and then walked over to the corpse of the great monk. This great monk was Zha Kun's master, a Saint of the previous generation of Heavenly Thunder Palace.
In front of the corpse was a small metal booklet. It was opened, and the title page had an extremely exquisite design. It had a naked cannon barrel and a streamlined structure, and it looked like a battleship.
He was a bit curious, how could there be a technological weapon in this secluded place of Buddhism?
He carefully flipped through it. This booklet seemed to be a large battleship's operating manual, but he couldn't understand the words and pictures on it.
After closing the booklet, he looked around, and his heart stirred. The magnificent hall in front of him seemed to be very similar to the picture in the booklet.
