The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1275 - Chapter 1275 Chapter 1374 The Forest of Mist

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1374: The Forest of Mist Chapter 1275: Chapter 1374: The Forest of Mist “That’s good, that’s good,” the Burning Lamp Buddha nodded.

“Buddha, this time we need to trouble you to take action,” Cangyunzi said.

“Nine Countries Seven Seas have been conflicting for so many years, this old monk has grown weary. This will be the last time this old monk intervenes for the three sects. After this matter is settled, this old monk will enter the Sharira Pagoda and will not come out again,” the Burning Lamp Buddha said.

Upon hearing this, everyone from the three sects present was moved, and the people from the Buddhist Sect showed even more sorrow on their faces, chanting the Buddha’s name in unison and deeply bowing to the Burning Lamp Buddha.

People from the three sects all knew that the high monks of the Buddhist Sect would eventually enter the Sharira Pagoda at the end of their lives, using the fire of Buddha to burn their bodies, leaving nothing behind but Shariputra.

Only the true high monks of the Buddhist Sect could produce Shariputra upon death. Each piece of Shariputra was extremely precious to the Buddhist Sect, enshrined within the Sharira Pagoda, and revered by Buddhists for all eternity.

The Burning Lamp Buddha had already lived for too long. He had experienced two great wars between lands, committed acts of killing in his youth, achieved brilliance, and reached the pinnacle, rightfully considered a legendary figure of the Buddhist Sect.

As new talent always arises with each generation, the Buddhist people understood well that the reason the Burning Lamp Buddha had lived up to now was already quite forced. His lifespan was nearing its end, and whether the battle he was about to fight for the three sects was successful or not, he would pass away in peace.

Should the Burning Lamp Buddha pass away, the Buddhist Sect would lose a high monk who had attained wisdom, and the three sects would lose a truly supreme powerful being.

“Buddha’s nobility is admirable,” Situ Yue and Cangyunzi bowed once more.

The Burning Lamp Buddha did not say much and turned to leave the Three Alliances Hall.

“Buddha, the younger generation has something to ask for your guidance,” suddenly, Situ Yue said.

The Burning Lamp Buddha stopped in his tracks, turned back, and looked at Situ Yue, “What is the matter?”

Situ Yue said, “If the battle of the three sects turns unfavorable, what should we do?”

This question was also one many present wanted to ask. Currently, the situation for the three sects seemed reasonably good, but the true strength of the Nine Countries had not yet been fully displayed. Moreover, a mysterious strong figure had appeared in the Nine Countries. How the battle would develop from here was unpredictable.

Hence, Situ Yue asked this question, hoping to hear the thoughts of this venerable figure from the Buddhist Sect.

Upon hearing this, a stiff smile appeared on the Burning Lamp Buddha’s face, “If the battle turns unfavorable, the three sects can wait another few hundred years.”

Hearing this, Situ Yue was startled, then with a slight frown, she said, “Buddha, this battle was hard fought by the three sects to seize this opportunity, and with the current situation, if we wait a few hundred more years, it might be difficult to penetrate the Nine Countries again.”

The Burning Lamp Buddha shook his head, “The old monk once contemplated the Buddhist teachings and had a dream of the ancient times during which he saw many things and many figures and learned a principle.”

“May the Buddha please enlighten us,” Situ Yue said respectfully.

“Times change and cannot be influenced by human efforts. Perhaps it is not yet time for change,” the Burning Lamp Buddha said, then floated away.

“Respectfully sending off the Buddha,” everyone bowed in unison. Yet the words of the Burning Lamp Buddha lingered in everyone’s ears, not dissipating for a long time and leaving many in a state of deep reflection and bewilderment.

Above Qian Country, deep in the heavens, silver light twinkled, and thunder and lightning filled the gaps.

Although the thunder and lightning had stopped, the Thunder Pool still existed. A figure sat cross-legged amidst that terrifying Thunder Pool, enduring the ravaging of the thunder and lightning.

This man was none other than Fang Lin, who had been seated within the Thunder Pool for several days. By now, he had largely adapted to the agonizing pain brought on by the thunder and lightning, and felt the transformative effects of its baptism.

Originally, Fang Lin, while refining the Nirvana Pill, had exhausted much of his energy and stamina, leaving him completely fatigued. However, after several days of cultivating in the Thunder Pool, his fatigue had dissipated and he had returned to his peak condition.

Subsequently, Fang Lin could clearly sense that his physical body continued to strengthen, and there were signs of an imminent breakthrough in his stagnant realm.

Back in the Extreme North Land, Fang Lin was already on the verge of breaking through to the eighth layer of the Spirit Bone, but due to complications caused by the Devil Pill’s Power, his progress was delayed, and his heart meridians were damaged. Coupled with various issues, his realm remained stagnant at the seventh layer of the Spirit Bone.

Now, there were signs that Fang Lin’s realm was gradually on the verge of another breakthrough, which was certainly a good thing for him.

In the current chaotic situation, gaining some strength would also provide him with more self-protection.

Old Dried Corpse, Jin Zhulong, although his physical body had recovered, had not shown himself since repelling Cangyunzi. He remained extremely cautious, not wanting the terrifying entities that had once suppressed him to detect his recovery.

Moreover, Fang Lin had a premonition that perhaps the Old Dried Corpse was about to leave.

Of course, this was only Fang Lin’s speculation, but having spent so much time with the Old Dried Corpse, he could sense that he was hinting at leaving.

The Thunder Pool was gradually shrinking, as the Power of Thunder and Lightning within it was continuously drained by Fang Lin. However, by the current scale, it would still take some time for the Thunder Pool to completely disappear.

Meanwhile, in Qian Country below, some unwelcome visitors had arrived.

Qian Country had three forbidden lands, viewed by its people as absolute no-go zones. Stepping into them meant certain death.

These three forbidden lands were the Endless Dungeon, Ghost Mountain Blood Lake, and the Forest of Mist.

The Endless Dungeon was now inaccessible because its entrance had collapsed.

However, Ghost Mountain Blood Lake and the Forest of Mist still existed.

Fang Lin had once mistakenly entered Ghost Mountain Blood Lake, obtaining an ancient spear from within the blood lake and uncovering its secrets.

As for the Forest of Mist, it remained a profoundly mysterious place where many people had ventured in to uncover its secrets but none had succeeded.

The Forest of Mist was peculiar; entering it did not trap you indefinitely, but those who emerged would find that decades or even centuries had passed in the outside world.

This forbidden land had long deterred people from entering, becoming a terrifying topic of conversation among the people of Qian Country, much like Ghost Mountain Blood Lake.

Yet today, someone had arrived at the outskirts of the Forest of Mist, staring at the dense forest shrouded in rising white mist with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with a calm and resolute expression, standing upright like a sturdy pine tree.

Behind the man, a broadsword was strapped to his back. Although the blade was covered with cloth strips, it still exuded a chilling sharpness.

In the next moment, this sword-bearing man stepped into the Forest of Mist, his figure quickly vanishing into the white mist.

Shortly after his entrance, a fleeting black shadow also darted into the Forest of Mist.

Not long after, a woman arrived at the spot, her silver hair flowing, stunningly beautiful.
