Chapter 255: Signing In In The Deep Underground Volcano.

Edited by: Mochisuagi

In the depths of the Western Desert, in front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

The old monk was shocked.

He didn’t expect that the 9th Ancestor had discovered the real Buddha’s aura on this continent.

Although the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall had existed since the last prosperous era and in the depths of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, a powerful Buddhist Relic was enshrined, there was a fundamental difference if compared with the real Buddha.

“I’m not sure.”

The 9th Ancestor shook his head and whispered: “That’s why I have to enter the Tang Empire and confirm.”

The 9th Ancestor raised his head and looked in the direction of the Tang Empire. He indifferently said: “This place shall be the foundation of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall in the battlefield. I can’t just leave without someone guarding the place. Therefore, I have contacted the 6th and 7th Ancestors.”

“When I leave, they will come in a few days at most.”

The 9th Ancestor said softly.

“The 6th and 7th Ancestors?” The old monk was shocked.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was different from the other Major Sects.

In the Major Sects, as long as one steps into the 7th Heavenly Layer and achieves Peak Legend, they could preserve their lifespan and fall into a deep sleep. Over thousands of years, even the weaker Major Sects had accumulated more than a dozen Ancestors, while stronger Major Sects had more than 20 Ancestors.

But the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall was different.

In the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the ordinary Peak Arhat did not need to use the self-styled secret technique, because after the Buddhism powerhouse life essence was exhausted, you can pass away and condense your own Cultivation base in the sarira, which can also protect the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

Only Peak Arhats with domains could enter deep sleep.

Hence, there were only 9 Ancestors in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. They were called according to the order in which they went into slumber, from 1st to 9th Ancestor.

However, whether it was the oldest Ancestor or the youngest Ancestor, they were at least Peak Arhats with domains.

Among them, the 1st Ancestor, 2nd Ancestor and 3rd Ancestor were the strongest. Although they were not Great Arhats, they had faintly begun to touch that level. Their domain and Primordial Spirit were already formed. The strongest might even be half a step into the Great Arhat Realm.

As for the 4th and 5th Ancestors to the 9th ancestor, their Cultivation was relatively weaker. But regardless of how weak they were, if compared to others, they were still Peak Arhats. Their strength was not something to be trifled with.

The Dark Source Sect’s Ancestor Chi Yuan was certainly strong, but he was far from the 9th Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

Both might have domains, but they differ in techniques and their quality.

If the 9th Ancestor really contacted the 6th and 7th Ancestor, then with these two Peak Arhats, plus the 9th Ancestor, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall on this continent could be said to be solid.

“Okay.”

“I leave it to you here.”

The 9th Ancestor glanced at the old monk, stepped out and disappeared.

“May Buddha guide the 9th Ancestor on his journey…”

When the old monk saw this, he immediately bowed towards the Tang Empire.

At the same time, in the Cave World.

Su Qin walked out of the City Lord’s great hall and stood on the city wall of Cathode City. Mo Ji respectfully stood beside him, along with the other dozen Demon Kings.

After Signing In here for several years, Su Qin could already feel that he was no longer able to Sign In at the branch of the Ancient Demon Tree in Cathode City.

In the past few years, Su Qin had Signed In at Cathode City and had obtained an unknown amount of Fire Element resources. He even obtained a few drops of the Fire Element Demon God’s Blood.

“It’s a pity that this many Fire Element resources is not enough to Cultivate the [Burning Sun Divine Art] to Small Accomplishment.”

Although Su Qin’s expression remained unchanged, he sighed in his heart.

Although Su Qin can incarnate into a Three-legged Golden Crow, travel anywhere in the world and burn everything, the problem Su Qin was facing now was that the [Burning Sun Divine Art] was very difficult to Cultivate.

Actually, if Su Qin could swallow the few drops of Fire Element Demon God’s Blood he had, there might be unexpected gains and he might even reach Small Accomplishment.

But currently, not to mention swallowing, he couldn’t even touch the drops of the Fire Element Demon God’s Blood.

Whether it was the Demon God’s Blood he obtained at the Demon Cloud City or the Demon God’s Blood he obtained here in Cathode City, it seemed that they were not in this space. Su Qin could only see them, but not touch them. It was as if they were shrouded in a forcefield.

“It’s time to prepare for the next Sign In location.”

Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated.

In the past few years, Su Qin had not been idle. He had asked Mo Ji to inquire around for information.

It’s just that in the entire Mo Huayu Region, there were only a few like Cathode City that had an abundance in Fire Element with Dao Accumulation. The others were occupied by the Demon powerhouses.

These Demon powerhouses were at least Peak Demon Kings, especially one of the places named ‘Divine Fire Valley’. It was also suspected that there was an existence beyond the Demon King living in seclusion.

As Su Qin was preparing to move towards his planned target, his eyes suddenly fell on the underground volcano under Cathode City.

“When did this volcano form?” Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed and asked.

“Master…” Mo Ji blinked. She didn’t expect Su Qin to become interested in the volcano under Cathode City. “Master, no one knows when this volcano was formed, but at least it had existed longer than the Cathode City.”

“Hmm?”

A single thought in Su Qin’s mind. He suddenly found himself ignoring a very important thing.

This underground volcano under Cathode City may also have Dao Accumulation.

Ever since Su Qin entered Cathode City, the place he Signed In had always been under the branch of the Ancient Demon Tree deep in the City Lord great hall.

Su Qin had subconsciously felt that the Dao Accumulation in the branch of the Ancient Demon Tree was the Dao Accumulation of the entire underground volcano, plus the Cathode City.

But in fact, the existence of this subterranean volcano was completely longer than Cathode City, and the two were probably not interlinked as Su Qin had previously thought.

“I’ll go out for a trip.”

Su Qin’s eyes brightened as he thought about it. He took a step and disappeared from Cathode City.

“This…” Mo Ji and the other Demon Kings glanced at each other, confused.

Since Su Qin came to Cathode City a few years ago, he had spent the overwhelming majority of his time behind closed doors in the City Lord’s great hall. The number of times he had left the City Lord’ great hall could be counted on one hand.

While Mo Ji and the Demon Kings were puzzled, Su Qin had already reached the depths of the underground volcano.

Terrifying heat filled every inch of the air. An ordinary Demon King would not be able to hold on for a long time here, and would sooner or later be burned.

Though Su Qin was different. His body was strong and he possessed the [Flesh Rebirth], coupled with his domain. He could take a leisurely walk here if he wanted to.

“How many spirit plants of the Fire Element grow here?”

Su Qin looked a few times and found that in some corners of the volcano’s wall, under the boulders, and deep in the boiling lava, were Fire Element plants growing.

“Even if I guessed wrong, I wouldn’t leave with nothing.”

Su Qin’s thoughts moved and he put away these Fire Element plants. He was quite satisfied with the harvest.

He didn’t know how many years these Fire Element plants had been growing, but they contained a lot of Fire Element, which was the best consumables for Cultivating the [Burning Sun Divine Art].

“Alright.”

“I only need to wait until the next day to verify my guess.” Su Qin’s face was solemn and he waited.

The reason why Su Qin went deep into the volcano was to naturally see whether or not he could Sign In inside.

If he could, Su Qin doesn’t need to go find a place elsewhere and risk getting himself in trouble.

On the surface (Earth), Su Qin knew the strongest power had been achieved. The overseas Major Sects don’t even have an Earth Immortal.

But the Cave World….

The Demon Gods, in the depths of the world, were definitely of the highest battle strength level that Su Qin had come into contact with.

Even if these Demon Gods were out of the picture, there were still many Demon Kings in the Cave World. They could easily dominate the surface (Earth).

If Su Qin continued to run around in the Cave World, what if he provoked a strong Demon?

Even if the Su Qin here was only an avatar, it had consumed nearly half of Su Qin’s vitality and Divine Sense to create it. Losing it would be a heartache.

Hence, in the Cave World, Su Qin tried to keep a low profile. Unless there was really something he needed to do, he would not go out and run around.

Soon, one day passed in the blink of an eye.

In the depths of the underground volcano under Cathode City.

Su Qin’s eyes suddenly opened, as he looked all around.

“It’s almost there.”

“My Sign in opportunity has also been refreshed.”

Su Qin calmed down and said silently in his heart: “System, Sign In.”

[Congratulations to the Host for Signing In successfully! Obtained the ‘Flame Demon Pill’*100.]

A mechanical, cold voice rang in Su Qin’s ears.

“Flame Demon Pill?”

Su Qin couldn’t help but stare.

He had obtained the Flame Demon Pill before, but this time, he obtained 100 of them in one go, instead of the usual 8 or 10 per Sign In. It was more than ten times that of Signing In at Cathode City.

“Maybe it’s because it’s my first time Signing In here. We’ll see if this continues.”

Su Qin’s heart was hot.

The [Burning Sun Divine Art]’s power was so terrifying that it was unimaginable. Once he Cultivated it, he could truly incarnate into a Divine Beast.

The only drawback was that it consumed too many resources in order to Cultivate it.

But now, Su Qin had a feeling that maybe reaching the Small Accomplishment of the [Burning Sun Divine Art] no longer seemed like a stretch in the foreseeable future…

“Once I can no longer Sign In in Cathode City, I’ll use this as my Sign In location.”

Su Qin quickly made up his mind.

Tang Empire.

The vitality was gradually recovering, in a manner that was neither fast nor slow. The Heavens and Earth’s environment made it easy for Cultivation. Originally, Upper Realm Martial Artists were few and far inbetween, but now even a small county town would have one.

While the Tang Empire was thriving and developing, a young monk entered the Tang Empire from Western Desert. This young monk was extremely low-key. He wandered through the mountains and rivers, seeming to be looking for something.

If it wasn’t for a certain Grade 1 Great Grandmaster provoking this young monk and being slapped to death, no one would have known that there was such a powerhouse in the Tang Empire.

Vajra Temple.

As one of the Four Buddhist Temples in the world, although the inheritance of Vajra Temple was not as vast as the Shaolin Temple’s, they had produced many Arhats in the past few years.

Though 50 years ago, when the Vajra Temple’s Holy Son went to the Shaolin Temple to exchange pointers, he ended up facing a huge defeat. Since then, the Vajra Temple had completely silenced itself and was almost half closed.

However, as the vitality gradually recovered, several Holy Monks appeared in the Vajra Temple.

Especially the Abbot of the Vajra Temple, who had completed the transformation of his body and achieved Peak Grade 1.

On this day, all of the disciples of the Vajra Temple were gathered outside the door. The Abbot and Guardians were also there with solemn expressions.

Before them was a young monk.

Although the monk looked very young, his eyes had a sense of vicissitudes that had gone through the years.

Just by standing there, the young monk made all of the disciples of the Vajra Temple, including the Abbot, pale.

In the eyes of everyone at the Vajra Temple, the young monk was not far away from Buddha that could support both Heavens and Earth, overlooking them.

“Unfortunately, what I’m looking for is not here.” The young monk’s eyes were calm, as he swept a glance across the people of the Vajra Temple and indifferently said.

The young monk was the 9th Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. After entering the Tang Empire, he had been searching for the aura of Buddha that he felt.

Unfortunately, he achieved nothing.

As a last resort, the 9th Ancestor had to come to the Four Buddhist Temples, like the Vajra Temple to try his luck.

The disciples of the Vajra Temple saw a trace of pity on the face of the 9th Ancestor and were angry for being belittled, however they couldn’t do anything.

When the 9th Ancestor first arrived at the Vajra Temple, he released a thread of aura and suppressed the entire Vajra Temple.

Even if the disciples want to attack the 9th Ancestor and defend the majesty of the Vajra Temple, it would be meaningless.

“Who is this monk? Is he also a fellow Buddhist? Why have I never seen him before? Is he an Arhat? But isn’t the only Arhat alive today from the Shaolin Temple?”

These were the thoughts of the Guardians of the Vajra Temple.

At this time, the Abbot of the Vajra Temple reluctantly stood up: “Is it possible that this Lord is the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple?”

“Shaolin Temple?”

The 9th Ancestor was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said: “I am not from the Shaolin Temple.”

“You mean, there is an Arhat in the Shaolin Temple?” The 9th Ancestor seemed to think of something, with a hint of interest on his face.

“Yes, the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple is capable of connecting the Heavens and Earth. Along with the Legend in Chang’an City, they are known as the strongest in the continent.”

When the Abbot of the Vajra Temple saw the 9th Ancestor shaking his head, he immediately said truthfully.

“Oh?”

“How is it possible?”

The 9th ancestor frowned: “The Peak Legend of Chang’an City is an odd one. Is it possible that there is more than one oddity here?”

Although the 9th Ancestor said so, he didn’t believe it at all.

How rare was a Peak Legend? Even in the prosperous overseas Martial Arts World, there could only be so few in one era.

In Chang’an City, a Peak Legend that could slay Ancestor Chi Yuan was already unimaginable enough.

To think that according to the Abbot of the Vajra Temple, like the Legend in Chang’an City, there was one more?

How is this possible?

Even after more than ten years of recovery, could the vitality be enough to give birth to two Peak Legends in such a small amount of time?

“However, I don’t know who is stronger or weaker between the Shaolin Temple’s Venerable and the Legend of Chang’an City.” The Abbot lowered his head and thought for a while. In the end, he did not dare to jump to a conclusion.

When the 9th Ancestor heard this, his expression gradually eased. In his opinion, it was obvious that the Abbot of the Vajra Temple had misinterpreted the truth. In fact, the strength of the Shaolin Temple was basically impossible to reach that level.

“But the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple slayed the dragon guarding the War God Temple on the top of the Kunlun Mountains.”

The Abbot of the Vajra Temple then looked cautiously at the 9th Ancestor.

The 9th Ancestor was indifferent, but when he heard the words War God Temple, his face changed slightly. When he heard that the dragon of War God Temple was slayed by the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple, he froze.
