My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult-Chapter 296: Resurrection of the Great Grandmaster’s Remains

Chapter 296 -296: Resurrection of the Great Grandmaster’s Remains

An Jing’s eyes were greeted by the sight of the hard yellow stone walls in front of him, covered with the marks of years gone by, with roads stretching out ahead in all directions, crisscrossing and extending towards various locales.

From the sight before him, it was known that this was once an ancient city. From the buildings and walls still standing, one could imagine that there once were glorious and incomparable palaces, beautiful towers, and a populace living in peace and contentment, free from worries.

Time passed, and the years went by, yet it was all gone in a blink of an eye.

However, An Jing was somewhat puzzled whether this ancient city belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Qin Dynasty.

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the south, and it was never said to have ruled over the Pure Land, whereas the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty was in the north; could this be an ancient city of the Great Qin Dynasty?

The Great Qin Dynasty… that was a dynasty from a thousand years ago.

An Jing naturally had not seen the Great Qin Dynasty, but in the historical records of several dynasties, the Great Qin Dynasty was the strongest, without equal, from the top experts within the dynasty to the troops guarding the border, and even its vast territories.

Three Great Grandmasters in one country, what a splendid era that was!

Yet, even such a dynasty could not escape destruction ultimately.

And what exactly was the reason for this destruction?

Was this ancient city truly from the Great Qin Dynasty?

An Jing took a deep breath and looked around.

Because of the fall earlier, the ground was covered with some mud and sand, and Xi Hafu had disappeared from view, nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, the purple glow of the Earth Book in An Jing’s mind grew increasingly intense.

Following the guidance from the Earth Book, An Jing took a tinderbox and walked forward.

With the dim light, one could see various exotic beast sculptures carved on the stone walls on either side, exquisitely crafted and lifelike.

“Czzt! Czzt!”

At that moment, a strange noise suddenly resounded.

An Jing pointed his finger, and a stream of firelight split from the tinderbox, only to see a gray rat the size of a wild cat appearing in front.

This gray-haired rat had fur that seemed very tough, and its eyes even bore a strange red color. Discovering An Jing, it seemed very frightened and hurriedly ran away towards the distance.

“There’s still something alive here, let’s follow it and see.”

An Jing’s eyes shifted, and he quickly followed.

“Czzt! Czzt!”

The gray-haired rat was very fast, even faster than an average cat, making it difficult for ordinary people to keep up with its speed.

Soon, they arrived in front of a stone door.

The stone door was made of two giant boulders, without any decorative patterns, only a seam visible to the naked eye in the middle, giving it an indestructible appearance.

Besides, there was a small hole next to it, too small for ordinary people to squeeze through.

The gray-haired rat swiftly squeezed into the little hole beside the door, smoothly entering inside the stone gate.

“There’s another stone door here; it seems that the purple opportunity lies behind this stone door.”

An Jing circulated the true Qi within his body and then struck forward with his left palm.

“Boom!”

This palm, using only a third of his full power, still possessed the force of thousands of pounds, causing the stone door to shake and a large amount of rubble to fall down, nearly extinguishing the tinderbox in his hand.

“Hmm!?”

An Jing looked at the immovable stone door, frowning slightly.

To think that his palm, although only using a third of his strength, compared to a full-powered strike from a Second Qi Grandmaster, yet the stone door showed no signs of change.

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind An Jing, “This stone door is made from ten-thousand-pound rocks; it must be opened using a special technique. If you try to smash this stone door by brute force, this place will collapse, turning into nothingness, and both of us will surely die.”

An Jing turned his head and saw Xi Hafu with hands joined in prayer; half of his face emerged in the light while the other half lurked in the darkness, giving him a rather strange appearance.

At this moment, his whole body’s Qi began to converge, but the leaking Qi was still detected by An Jing.

Five Qi Grandmaster!

The cultivation Xi Hafu was demonstrating right now was exactly that of a Five Qi Grandmaster.

An Jing was greatly shocked inwardly. No wonder he struggled to get close to Xi Hafu’s body despite his full effort; the man had already reached the cultivation level of a Five Qi Grandmaster.

Xi Hafu looked at An Jing with an expressionless face and said, “Amitabha, I originally thought the donor was an expert from the Gui Shuang, but from the techniques and the sword in your hand, you must be the Ghost Swordsman whose name has recently shaken the world.”

The swift exchange had not allowed him to see the Evil Suppressing Sword; now that they had ceased fighting and were speaking, he had a clear view of that sharp sword, and thus he recognized An Jing’s identity.

What a peculiar Xi Hafu!

Whether it was the Exalted Vajra, Universal Benefit Bodhisattva, Universal Literary Vajra, or many other Buddhist experts, they all gave An Jing a sense of tranquility. Only the current Xi Hafu gave him a chilling impression.

It felt as if just standing by his side was akin to entering an ice cavern.

An Jing stroked the blade of the Evil Suppressing Sword and glanced at Xi Hafu, saying, “Master, you must know what this place is.”

Xi Hafu’s eyes on the stone door, he replied, “This is the ancient city of Great Qin.”

An Jing raised an eyebrow and mused, “Great Qin ancient city?”

Xi Hafu nodded slightly and continued, “Yes, precisely the ancient city of Great Qin Dynasty, and behind this stone gate lies a holy object of our Buddhist sect. If the donor is here for the Buddhist holy object, then forgive this humble monk for not being hospitable.”

As he said this, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at An Jing’s neck.

An Jing looked at the stone door, sensing the changes in the purple radiance from the Earth Book, his mind also filled with uncertainty; whether this purple opportunity truly was the Buddhist holy object.

Xi Hafu joined his hands at his chest and said, “The Buddhist holy object must not be transferred to others. Before this, experts from Gui Shuang came to the Pure Land several times for this object, and all were repelled by this humble monk.”

An Jing could not help but ask, “What exactly is this Buddhist holy object?”

People from Gui Shuang coming to the Pure Land, all for a Buddhist holy object—what sort of power does this holy object possess?

Why has there never been any whisper of it in the Great Yan Martial World?

“You dare to come here without knowing what the holy object is?”

Xi Hafu’s expression turned extremely solemn. “The holy object not only pertains to the Buddhist sect but also concerns the safety of the entire world. This humble monk will absolutely not let it fall into the hands of others.”

These words were spoken for An Jing’s benefit.

An Jing grew even more curious about the holy object mentioned by Xi Hafu; what exactly could it be, that it also concerned the safety of the entire world.

However, judging by Xi Hafu’s demeanor, it seemed he would stop at nothing to retrieve the Buddhist holy object, potentially going as far as to pursue and kill him.

If it really was that purple opportunity, he would have to consider it carefully.

After pondering for a moment, An Jing asked, “Does Master know how to open this stone gate?”

Xi Hafu looked at the stone gate, “This stone gate is made from ten thousand jin rocks; its weight is more than ten thousand jin. Originally, the Great Qin Dynasty had used mechanical beasts to transport this gate here. To push it open, it must be done simultaneously from both sides by two people; otherwise, even a Great Grandmaster would have difficulty moving it.”

An Jing remarked, “I see.”

Xi Hafu said deeply, “You on the left, and I on the right. Together we shall push and open this stone gate.”

“Okay.”

An Jing did not hesitate; his curiosity about what lay beyond the stone gate and the Buddhist holy object was strong. He did not mind cooperating with Xi Hafu.

Immediately, they both positioned themselves on each side of the gate and exchanged glances. Then, their True Qi surged, gathering in their arms. Underneath An Jing’s robes, his arms bulged with veins, resembling dragon tendons.

With full force applied, it was far beyond ten thousand jin of force.

Golden light surged around Xi Hafu as well, and a fearsome force followed his arms pushing toward the stone gate.

“Click. Click!”

The stone gate began to loosen, its crack widening more and more.

As the two continually exerted their strength, the stone door was fully opened.

An Jing’s heart stirred, and he hurriedly looked over.

Looking around, he saw several exquisitely luminous pearls hanging, and beyond that, there were lifelike stone statues, each depicting a person, as realistic as actual humans.

Meanwhile, the purple luminescence in An Jing’s Earth Book shone to an extreme degree, clearly indicating that the Purple Opportunity was right before him.

Xi Hafu was the first to enter, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.

Not far away, only a few gray-haired large rats were hopping around, and beyond that, there was nothing else.

“Purple Opportunity?”

An Jing’s brow slightly furrowed as he walked towards the statues, noticing that each statue depicted a different pose, all of which were quite bizarre, and each forehead was inscribed with the character ‘生’.

This character might be unrecognizable to ordinary people, but An Jing recognized it as an ancient script from the Great Qin Dynasty.

Previously, having studied a great deal of medicine, An Jing was also well-versed in the scripts of not only the Great Zhou Dynasty but the Great Qin Dynasty as well, recognizing the character on the statue instantly.

Next, he looked at the statue next to it, which had the character ‘死’ inscribed on it.

Scanning the area, there were hundreds of vivid stone statues, each human-shaped statue having its unique pose, and on the forehead of each, there was an inscribed character.

These characters formed several profound and mysterious mantras.

“Could these combined be a form of martial arts?”

An idea sparked in An Jing’s mind as he observed the countless human-shaped stone statues before him.

While Xi Hafu glanced at them once and continued searching further away, as if what truly interested him wasn’t the stone statues but something else.

An Jing carefully observed the human-shaped stone statues in front of him, using his remarkable memory to note down each statue’s pose and characters.

Until he reached the last human-shaped statue.

All of a sudden, all the characters linked together, and everything instantly became clear; a heart method mantra for a body-refining martial arts formed in his mind. The movements of the human-shaped statues also linked up, as if shadows were moving through his mind.

This was a body-refining martial art, far more profound than the Brahma Heart Sees Me, which allowed the body’s vacuities to correspond as if to the stars in the sky, creating an astounding suction within the vacuities that continuously absorbed the power of the stars.

This true incorporation of oneself with the celestial stars, more mystifying and unpredictable than the Snow Mountain Holy Body Technique of the Great Snow Mountain, contained the transformations of the universe and all things within, and even enhanced the understanding of heaven and earth.

After pondering for a while, An Jing’s mind stirred.

This body refining martial art was as profound as the “Jade Emperor Scripture” and “Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture,” surpassing the Heavenly Martial Level.

As this body-refining martial art began operating, An Jing’s body started to be tempered; his body was already covered with a jade-colored radiance, and now that jade color flourished even more, seemingly moving toward the Perfection of Jade Bone.

Time slipped by like sand between fingers, and two days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The starlight gradually dispersed, and the vacuities began to close gradually.

An Jing slowly opened his eyes, feeling his qi and blood fully replenished, his physique having grown stronger by more than thirty percent than before.

At that moment, there was a new change in the Earth Book, and An Jing’s thoughts also focused on it.

Cultivation: Master Three Qi

Life Fate: Favorable Star Shining (on the rise)

Root Bone: Once in a Thousand Years

Martial Arts: Sword Drawing Skill, Hidden Sword Skill, Sword Control Technique, Nine-character Sword Technique, Soaring Nine Heavens Movement Technique, Concealing Qi Technique, Hundred-step Flying Sword Ninth Layer, Nine Yang Divine Finger Perfection, Brahma Heart Sees Me Perfection, Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Sword Technique Ninth Layer, Incomplete Nameless Heart Scripture Seventh Layer, Nameless Sword Form, Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique (Sixth Layer).

Prompt One: The host’s Life Fate has taken root.

Prompt Two: A black opportunity is approaching.

…..

“Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique.”

An Jing muttered to himself.

Because the foundation laid by the “Brahma Heart Sees Me”, his progress in cultivating the “Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique” was extremely fast.

At that moment, a strange voice echoed by his ear.

In the distant, shadowy darkness, Xi Hafu sat cross-legged on the ground, his mouth dripping with fresh blood, pinching the neck of a gray-haired mouse that looked like a cat.

As the master tightened his grip, a burst of crimson blood exploded from the gray-haired mouse and fell into the master’s mouth.

This scene looked bizarre and chilling.

An Jing furrowed his brows and asked, “Master, what are you doing?”

Xi Hafu replied, “This poor monk is a bit thirsty.”

An Jing clearly could not accept such a plain and unadorned answer, “Aren’t monks supposed to abstain from taking life?”

Drinking mouse blood for thirst was indeed rare.

With blood still on his lips, Xi Hafu placed his hands in front of his chest solemnly, and said, “In our Buddhist sect, there is Vajra, the Bodhisattva Fruit Position, which implies practicing Buddhism in the temple and taking life in times of chaos.”

An Jing’s mouth twitched as he remembered the master’s previous threat to crush his neck; it seemed he was not merely boasting, as he indeed had a penchant for neck twisting.

Xi Hafu stood up and approached a stone wall, saying, “During your two days of cultivation, this poor monk has found the location of the Buddhist Holy Object, right behind this stone wall.”

“Oh?!”

An Jing followed Xi Hafu to the stone wall, his curiosity about the Buddhist Holy Object growing.

The stone wall seemed to be engraved with a sky full of stars, shining brightly, and twinkling with bright light, corresponding to the “Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique” An Jing was cultivating.

“There’s something odd!”

Just one glance, and An Jing was drawn into it; the “Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique” began to circulate.

“Whirr, whirr, whirr, whirr!”

Streams of starlight surged from within the stone gate, casting over An Jing’s body and forming a torrent of scorching airflow.

An Jing sat down cross-legged and began to forge his flesh body.

Boom!

The light of stars within An Jing’s body roamed about, refining his veins and bones.

Refining the body was extremely painful, especially after several temperings.

The light of stars entered into An Jing’s body and, accompanied by flames, began to burn.

An Jing’s back and forehead, his entire body, was drenched in sweat.

If one could endure this kind of pain, the benefits that came were indisputable.

Simultaneously, his Dantian began to rotate like a silver vortex, incessantly devouring everything around it.

Meanwhile, his body was undergoing a transformation, bones and blood transforming from golden to jade.

Jade Bone!

Being of jade bone was a symbol of a Great Grandmaster, and throughout history, very few masters had reached this realm.

Seeing this, Xi Hafu could not help but raise an eyebrow, “It seems that this lad is getting far more benefits than I imagined.”

Initially, when he saw An Jing cultivating a human-shaped stone sculpture martial arts, he guessed it was a kind of Body Refining Martial Arts, but coming from a Buddhist background—one of the top two sacred places for body refining in the world, he naturally had no interest in other body refining martial arts. Moreover, his mind was only set on finding that holy object, so he disregarded it.

Now seeing the jade light swirling around An Jing, he came back to his senses, realizing the terrifying potential of this body refining martial arts.

The refining was still ongoing; the starlight traveling along the meridians seemed intent on completely transforming An Jing.

The golden light gradually faded, and the jade light overwhelmed everything in its path.

Whether it was flesh, bones, or strength, all were experiencing rapid and immense growth.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

‘Hiss!’

As the last sound echoed, An Jing felt the air through his nose and mouth become much fresher, his entire body felt lighter, almost as if he were about to float.

Jade Bone!

At this moment, his bone structure had completely transformed into the realm of Jade Bone.

“Huff!”

An Jing heaved a deep breath, his clothes now thoroughly soaked.

His thoughts fell upon the Earth Book, which showed that the Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique had reached the Eighth Layer.

The Eighth Layer!

The eighth layer of martial arts surpassing the Heavenly Martial level!

Zhao Qingmei’s cultivation of the Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture had also reached the eighth layer realm.

In this world, only Nangong Weiping had cultivated the Nine Nether Purgatory Demon Scripture to the tenth layer.

As An Jing stood up, a robust Qi Mechanism dispersed in all directions.

“Jade Bone! He actually refined into Jade Bone!?”

This Qi Mechanism even brought a sense of pressure to Xi Hafu.

One must know that Jade Bone is one of the symbols of a Great Grandmaster, and it also requires the cultivation of a Heart Method surpassing Heavenly Martial Arts, yet this young man in the Master Realm had cultivated Jade Bone, definitely a result of the Body Refining Martial Arts.

“Crack! Crack!”

As the starlight was completely absorbed, the stone wall in front of him started to shake, then ascended upwards.

“Great opportunity!”

Before the situation behind the stone wall revealed itself, Xi Hafu’s eyes flashed brightly, and he hurriedly rushed behind the wall.

Eager!

Impatient!

And the moment Xi Hafu rushed in, a sea of poisonous insects surged toward him.

These poisonous insects were diverse, including palm-sized spiders and brightly colored thin snakes, merely a glance at which was enough to send chills down someone’s spine.

As Xi Hafu operated the True Qi in his Dantian, streaks of golden light surged forward, blocking the swarming poisonous insects.

The insects charged fiercely and were violently bounced off upon impacting the golden light.

However, many of the insects left behind intense toxins, these colorful toxins emitting a strange fragrance as the golden light around Xi Hafu slowly dimmed.

“Whirl! Whirl!”

Seeing this, Xi Hafu stretched out his hands, and vast True Qi surged forward, forming a golden ocean that instantly slew a large swath of the surrounding insects.

But there were many more insects, and as soon as one group was wiped out, another would surge forward, seemingly endless.

Just then, a bright light emerged.

Xi Hafu pointed towards the distant light, exclaiming in his mind, “The Buddhist Holy Object is right ahead!”

His heart trembled, and he rushed fearlessly toward the light.

An Jing also quickly followed, and as the poisonous insects desperately charged, the Evil Suppressing Sword, Dulu Sword, and Blood Tears Sword were each drawn from their scabbards. Several streaks of sword light surrounded him, forming a barrier, turning the insects that came too close into pools of blood foam.

The insects could release toxins, but one of them was currently the top Five Qi Grandmaster of the world, and the other was the world’s foremost Swordsman, wielding three of the top ten famous swords.

Clearly, these insects could not stop their progress.

The two of them, one leading and the other following, quickly arrived at the source of the light.

There, they saw a towering circular stone platform which resembled an execution ground. In the center of the platform lay a set of white bones.

The bones were deformed, somewhat human, somewhat beastly, and it was impossible to discern their appearance in life.

The light was being emitted from those very bones.

Upon seeing these bones, An Jing’s heart slightly trembled. The dried corpse on Three Temple Mountain and the bizarre visions that had surfaced in his mind on Pingyun Mountain seemed to be extremely similar to this skeleton.

What in the world were these things!?

Besides this, next to the eerie remains were several odd corpses. At a glance, one could tell they were human.

Having preserved for thousands of years was enough to prove that these individuals were certainly great masters in life.

An Jing’s heart was filled with doubts. What exactly was this place for?

Xi Hafu burst into laughter upon seeing these bones. “The Buddha’s relics, indeed, are right here, hahahaha!”

The divisions within the Buddhist realm differ from the rest of the world. A Grandmaster holds the position of a Bodhisattva or a Vajra, while being called a Buddha Master at a higher level, and naturally, the founder of the Buddhist sect is revered as the Buddha.

The Buddha’s relics!?

The words of Xi Hafu deepened An Jing’s frown even further.

Could these bones actually be the Buddha’s relics!?

“Hum! Hum!”

As venomous bugs swarmed around, the Evil Suppressing Sword suddenly emitted a series of crisp trembling sounds and began to quiver uncontrollably.

The blood flowing over its blade seemed to be struggling to break free.

The blood on the Evil Suppressing Sword had been there since An Jing acquired it at Three Temple Mountain, where he attempted to remove it. The blood contained a terrifying force; not only did he fail to remove it, but it also left An Jing with lingering fears.

After a conversation with Jiang Shang, An Jing had speculated that the blood on the Evil Suppressing Sword could be the Undying Blood that Jiang Shang was searching for.

However, he had been unable to force the blood out of the sword ever since, leaving him in doubt whether it was the legendary Undying Blood or not.

Today, the blood in the sword seeming to voluntarily emerge was enough to astonish An Jing.

“Hmm!?”

Upon sensing this situation, An Jing quickly gripped the hilt of the Evil Suppressing Sword, trying to suppress the restless blood.

But the more he suppressed it, the more violent the blood within the Evil Suppressing Sword became, akin to a ferocious and roaring beast.

Simultaneously, the bones emitted an even brighter light.

In a trance, An Jing heard a piercing howl by his ear, causing a sharp pain in his eardrums. Subsequently, the Evil Suppressing Sword broke free from his hand.

“Not good!”

An Jing cursed inwardly, but it was already too late.

He watched as the Evil Suppressing Sword transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight towards the bones with a sound that tore through the air.

“No!”

As Xi Hafu saw this, his body surged with golden light to its peak, amidst which a black and purple light mingled, blocking in front of the bones.

“Hum! Hum!”

The Evil Suppressing Sword struck the golden light and instantly halted.

Xi Hafu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

But in the next moment, the blood from the Evil Suppressing Sword surged from the blade and spilled directly onto the bones.

The eerie red blood dripped onto the bones, causing their light to contract back spasmodically.

An Jing also leaped through the air and grabbed the Evil Suppressing Sword that was about to fall.

At that moment, the blade of the Evil Suppressing Sword flickered with a ghostly light, not a single drop of blood remained, and it had returned to its original appearance.

“How can this be?”

Xin Haifu, however, stared intently at the white bones in front of him, not even daring to breathe.

An Jing also looked over.

The blood spilled over the white bones caused an abrupt, drastic change after about three or four breaths. This transformation left An Jing wide-eyed with shock and disbelief.

After absorbing the crimson blood, those stark white bones began to sprout flesh, and on that flesh rapidly grew black hair……

Furthermore, this process continued unabated.

Such a bizarre sight stunned An Jing.

“Good, very good!”

Seeing this, Xi Hafu was overjoyed, “The Buddha has shown his spirit, it really is the Buddha showing his spirit!”

An Jing, puzzled, asked, “Master, what is happening?”

The Buddha has shown his spirit, what Buddha has shown his spirit.

Xin Haifu took a deep breath to steady his trembling heart and smiled, “Do you know what this is?”

An Jing blinked and responded, “Buddha’s relics?”

Xin Haifu looked at the eerie corpse and said, “Exactly, these are the Buddha’s relics. Now that these relics have begun to sprout flesh, do you know what that means?”

An Jing asked with a grave tone, “What does it mean?”

Xin Haifu said, “It means the Buddha has not passed into Nirvana. It means that as soon as the flesh is fully grown, the Buddha could be resurrected.”

The Buddha resurrected!?

Upon hearing Xin Haifu’s words, An Jing was even more shockingly astounded.

Life and death seemed to be a mere joking matter in the mouth of Xin Haifu.

A person could be resurrected after death?

Even though the Buddha was certainly a Great Grandmaster-level master, a Great Grandmaster was only a Land Immortal and had not reached the level of a Heavenly Immortal.

Even if Heavenly Immortals died, was there still a rationale for resurrection?

It was absolutely absurd!

At this moment, Xin Haifu seemed more like a religious fanatic, not quite like a high monk well-versed in Buddhist law.

And what exactly was the relationship between the blood on this Evil Suppressing Sword and those white bones? Why did the two react so intensely?

Could it be that the blood on the Evil Suppressing Sword was the Buddha’s blood? But how could the Buddha’s blood possibly be on the Evil Suppressing Sword?

If it really was as Xin Haifu said, could it be that a Great Grandmaster-level master was about to die and then be reborn?

Suddenly, a beam of blood light appeared in the eyes of the Buddha’s relics as the nearby corpses began to move.

An Jing quickly asked, “Why are these corpses moving?”

Xin Haifu shouted, “These corpses must have had great obsessions in life, which then became tainted by the poison here, possibly preserving some fragmented consciousness. We need to suppress them first.”

As he spoke, Xin Haifu’s clothes moved without any wind, and he ferociously slammed out with a palm behind which a golden Buddha appeared, pressing towards one of the corpses in the middle.

Clang!

This palm was heavier than a thousand kilos, directly pressing the Buddha’s relics into the ground.

The next moment, the Buddha’s relics burst forth again, sweeping away the golden light surrounding Xin Haifu.

An Jing’s True Qi was concealed, not released. He lifted the Dulu Sword in his hand, his body as fast as lightning, and slashed fiercely at the neck of another corpse.

The sword was so sharp and domineering that it sent the corpse flying, crashing heavily against the wall.

However, these corpses were incredibly tough, as if they had great obsessions in life. The corpse that was suppressed charged at him again.

An Jing raised the Dulu Sword with his right hand, waves of True Qi poured into the blade, the intense Sword Skill causing the surrounding airflow to spin rapidly, surging ceaselessly.

Slash!

With one sword strike, a massive Sword Qi, like enormous scissors, cut through the air, striking precisely at the corpse from the chest to the neck.

Puchi!

The corpse’s chest was gashed deep to the bone, and its tough body was suddenly lifted off the ground, slamming heavily against a stone pillar.

The pillar collapsed, and the corpse’s body was crushed under the massive stone.

The surrounding poisonous insects, witnessing this scene, swarmed over, instantly engulfing the corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the corpse completely disappeared.

Although these corpses were incredibly tough, they merely held onto a trace of obsession. They were no match for An Jing and Xi Hafu, quickly suppressed here, unable to rise, their bones soon becoming nourishment for the insects.

“Finally, I have obtained the Buddhist holy object. The revival of Buddhism is hopeful,”

Xi Hafu excitedly watched this scene, his expression filled with immense excitement, then quickly lifted the relics of the Buddha, saying, “Quick, let’s leave this place first.”

“Alright.”

An Jing also felt that this place was quite eerie. The Great Celestial Star Refining Body Technique within his body began to operate, and his Dulu Sword exuded supreme sharp coldness.

“Pupupupu!”

The Dulu Sword swept across, and instantly only blood remained in front of him.

Somehow, the poisonous insects that were swarming in all retreated, not daring to come any closer.

A wide path appeared ahead.

“Could it be because of the Buddha’s relics that Xi Hafu is holding?”

An Jing saw this scene and silently speculated.

Just now, the insects had rushed in as if in desperation, but now they seemed extremely fearful, which was somewhat strange, and the only change was the Buddha’s relics in Xi Hafu’s arms.

As the two continued forward, after walking about a few hundred steps, they could see the dazzling light.

Sunlight!

An Jing knew that the exit must be just ahead.

Xi Hafu also suppressed the excitement in his heart, but the excited light in his eyes was unstoppable.

After walking forward for a time as long as a stick of incense could burn, the two finally stepped out.

The wind and sand swept through as the sunlight dazzled, and all around was an endless desert.

“Huh!”

An Jing felt the sunlight and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

After exiting the desert, Xi Hafu, with one hand holding the relics and the other gesturing a Buddhist salute to An Jing, said, “Benefactor, the Buddhist holy object pertains to the safety of the world. This monk must leave now.”

Having said that, without waiting for An Jing to speak, Xi Hafu hurriedly left with the relics, disappearing into the sandstorm.

An Jing watched the disappearing figure, his suspicions deepening.

He always felt that there was something odd about Xi Hafu, inside and out.

….
