The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 719

Chapter 719: Chapter 715: Desolate Ruins Chapter 719: Chapter 715: Desolate Ruins “Get out of my way! Get out of the way! I don't need your hypocritical kindness!”

“Stop, I, Zhan Guo, will not appreciate this!”

Zhan Guo continued to yell, but Chan'er ignored his enraged shouting, calmly reciting the scripture without pause.

More and more Buddhist mantras emerged, and the golden light became more and more intense. Soon centered around Chan'er, the golden light surged in all directions like a tidal wave, and Sanskrit chants arose in the void, echoing in the distance, the entire auction hall was solemn with golden light, as if it had become a Buddhist sanctuary.

The faces of the monks present were bathed in a soft golden glow, and their mood was relaxed. Those who still harbored resentment had their anger gradually fade away, and their mindset surprisingly became calm.

“Holy monk!” An old monk looked at Chan'er, his face filled with longing, and he knelt in worship.

The other western region monks had admired Chan'er greatly. Seeing the old monk in this state, they all bowed to Chan'er in succession, and then sat down around him, together they began to recite the scripture.

A large swath of golden light rose from the people, forming a golden light pillar that shot straight into the sky, the Sanskrit chant sound was stimulated, echoing across the entire desert.

The citizens of Red Valley City in the distance, seeing such a Buddhist spectacle, fell to their knees one after another, praying towards the golden light outside the city, reciting the holy names of many Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

Inside the golden light pillar, Zhan Guo's anger faded away and his face became serene. He slowly closed his eyes.

An illusion rose from his dead body, by the facial features it was indeed Zhan Guo. Yet at this moment, there was no more resentment in his expression, but he looked at Chan'er with complicated eyes.

Chan'er stopped chanting when he saw this scene.

The spell seemed to have consumed him greatly, revealing a tired expression on his face.

“Benefactor Zhan Guo, the path to the Netherworld is long. Don't linger in the Human World, you should reincarnate as early as possible.” Chan'er wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up to speak.

Zhan Guo didn't say anything and remained silent for a while and then raised his hand.

A white light flew out from his corpse and fell into the divine spirit's hand, it was a jade slip.

Zhan Guo pointed at the jade slip, and his finger quickly flickered with white light, which then quickly dissipated.

He waved his hand, and the jade slip shot towards Chan'er.

A golden light shot out from Chan'er's Buddhist beads, holding up the white jade slip, and then permeated into it.

“Oh! This is the method to repair the seal on the ground.” The Buddhist bead said in excitement.

“Thank you for your guidance, Benefactor Zhan Guo.” Chan'er rejoiced at these words and bowed to Zhan Guo.

Zhan Guo did not respond to Chan'er at all. He looked up at the numerous corpses around him, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, his hands formed a seal, and his body exploded with a bright white light, which grew brighter and brighter.

“Benefactor Zhan Guo! Don't!” When Chan'er saw this scene, his face changed dramatically. He raised his hand, intending to do something, but it was too late.

A white light wheel with a diameter of about a foot suddenly appeared, its radiance was so blinding that it made everyone squint their eyes.

The white light wheel suddenly shrank, then “boom” it exploded, half of the sky was covered with white light particles, which looked extremely brilliant.

These white lights dispersed and completely turned into nothingness.

“Benefactor Zhan Guo, why cause such pain…” Chan'er sighed softly, whispering the Buddha's name.

Shen Luo fell into endless darkness, where enormous forces seemed to be tearing at him, every inch of his body filled with boundless pain. Even though he was unconscious now, the pain did not diminish at all, as if it intended to grind him from his physical body to his divine soul into fragments.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed before the pain began to ease and his scattered consciousness began to reassemble. He opened his eyes.

In front of him was a large rooftop, the surrounding beams and walls were carved with some archaic patterns. It looked like a grand hall of great antiquity.

However, several big holes had been broken in the roof of the hall, revealing the gloomy sky outside.

“Where is this?” Shen Luo sat up and looked around in confusion.

In the center of the hall stood a statue. It had already broken apart from the middle. The pieces and the hall door were casually laid on the ground without anyone bothering to clean up. It was a desolate sight.

Shen Luo slowly got up, then remembered his injuries. As he checked himself, he felt a powerful force of mana roaming within his body, astonishingly reaching the True Immortal Realm.

“So I am dreaming again.” He raised his hand and looked at the strands of golden light on his fingertips. After heaving a sigh, he said.

Shen Luo's complexion sank and a thoughtful expression appeared.

Earlier, when he was fighting against Zhan Guo and later the phantom image of Chiyou, he had summoned his dream cultivation for far too long, a lot longer than the sum of the previous two times. Needless to say, he had lost a considerable amount of lifespan. He wasn't sure how much lifespan he had left in reality…

His spirits sank for a while, but soon he cheered up.

What had happened, had happened. There was no point worrying, the key was to find a solution.

In reality, Shen Luo had just reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, with a long way to go before he could reach the Great Mahayana Stage. It was unlikely that he could look towards breaking through to increase his lifespan. He could only seek treasures and elixirs for lifespan extension.

Shen Luo fell silent for a moment, then stood up and circled inside the hall. He found nothing unusual, so he went out.

When he came out of the palace door, he realized that he was on top of a high mountain. Outside the palace was a long white jade staircase, gradually stretching downwards. There were also half-collapsed buildings erected on the side of the mountain.

There was no trace of any human activity here, and dust had accumulated on the White Jade stairs. It looked like it was some sort of ruins.

“Have I been transported to a place similar to Mount Fangcun?” Shen Luo muttered to himself.

Despite their dilapidated state, the buildings farther down emanated the aura of the Immortal Path and were beyond the realm of ordinary worlds. They looked like remnants of a cultivation sect, places like this often hid treasures.

He extended his divine sense but found only some broken buildings and ordinary rocks, plants, and trees. There was no trace of any treasure.

But he was not disappointed. His divine sense had only conducted a general investigation, and a search for treasures required careful scrutiny.

Shen Luo returned to the great hall and carefully explored around. But unfortunately, he didn't discover anything. He then jumped on and flew down, searching from one building to another.

Half an hour later, he emerged from a building halfway up the mountain.

He had searched for so long, but these broken buildings were all empty, and he hadn't found anything useful.

“Could this be just a hollow ruin?” Shen Luo frowned but didn't give up. He continued to extend his divine sense carefully sensing the surroundings.

Efforts bore fruit eventually. Finally, after a time equivalent to when an incense stick was burned, he sensed an unusual fluctuation on a mountain wall near a waterfall.

Despite being very faint, it hinted a prohibition fluctuation from that mountain wall. If his divine sense wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't have detected it.

Shen Luo walked to the front of the mountain wall and pointed his finger to the void.

A golden light shot out from his hand and hit the mountain wall, but the mountain wall remained undisturbed.

He kept his hand still, closed his eyes to sense the situation of the mountain wall, and slowly moved his finger forward. The golden light gradually merged into the mountain wall.

The originally calm mountain wall finally showed signs of change. A layer of yellow light appeared on the surface, and the solid stone wall began to become transparent, seeming like an entirely different place inside.
