Night Without End

Chapter 1447: Chapter 600: Bodhisattva’s Martial Hall (Part 3)

"What’s going on, the mountain up ahead is shaking, it collapsed... No, wait."

The Two Puppets suddenly opened their Heavenly Eye, fully taking in the scene, and immediately dashed back, holding their breath as if they’d seen a ghost, fleeing in panic.

They thought it was a mountain, but in fact, it was a massive behind. How tall must this monster be? Just squatting there, it was almost like a mountain itself.

The key point was, the monster was relieving itself, quite gross.

With a thunderous crash, muck fell from mid-air.

The mountain forest was flattened, and the area was filled with a multitude of birds and beasts; it was unclear whether they were driven away by the stench or scared off by the impact, everything was a chaotic mess.

Qin Ming waited in the distance, seeing the Two Puppets teleport back instantly.

He was left speechless; having just arrived in the New World, he was already witnessing the diversity of species.

The Old Furnace said, "This is a failed Child of the Earth."

As it was explained, the humanoid monster standing over a thousand meters tall ahead was a creature nurtured from the earth’s secret cavities, potentially becoming a Heavenly God if it had ample Innate Spiritual Essence.

The one before them was clearly underdeveloped, birthed prematurely, covered in white fur; its body might be terrifying, but its Spiritual Field was rather weak.

In terms of power, it could tear apart a Flying Dragon with its hands, but if attacked through its Spiritual Field, a regular Grandmaster would be sufficient.

Qin Ming became even more cautious, needing the Two Puppets to scout ahead; this unknown New World was indeed dangerous, and carelessness might lead to being "blessed by an Angel."

"The stench is killing me, the home’s entrance is blocked, damn it..." A group of Mole spirits squeaked, each about as tall as a human, rushing out of another exit as if fleeing a disaster, all standing upright as they ran.

Based on information gathered from Xiao Wu and Xiang Yiwu, Qin Ming estimated it would take days to find the Ancient Temple.

Because that place was somewhat distant and quite hidden.

However, as Qin Ming traveled, capturing some Mountain Monsters and resonating with their thoughts, he learned news that shortened his path.

"In the distance, the Great Virtue Holy Land is glowing, the ancestors are all alarmed, responding to a mysterious call, heading to worship."

In this dark "Wilderness," the so-called ancestors refer to Grandmasters, who are enough to become Great Demon Kings, ruling over many monster cities.

As for the pure Human Clan? It seems absent in this realm.

"The Great Virtue Holy Land, during ancient times, there were Bodhisattvas, but later on, it was gradually abandoned, becoming more desolate, and eventually completely declined."

Qin Ming realized that this was most likely his destination, the ancient temple where the Reincarnation Black Lotus was rooted.

"There were actually once Bodhisattvas, so why do these Grandmaster-level monsters nearby want to go on a pilgrimage?" Qin Ming inquired to an old ape.

"Haven’t you heard? Many Demons gather at the foot of Spirit Mountain. The once brilliant Temple, Bodhisattva’s Martial Hall, certainly raised some Great Demons as rides and Dharma Guardian Vajras, among others."

According to the old ape, after the Bodhisattvas left and the Arhats disappeared, many of the fostered Great Demons returned to the deep forest, and among the Grandmasters now heading there, there are descendants of the Bodhisattvas’ rides and Dharma Guardian Vajras.

Qin Ming nodded, saying, "Barring any accidents, ahead lies the Ancient Temple I seek, no doubt about it."

At the same time, he felt a bit worried whether Xiao Wu and Xiang Yiwu would be affected or involved in some way in the Seven Treasures Pool of that Ancient Temple?

The Two Puppets accelerated their scouting, teleporting forward.

Qin Ming followed closely behind, finally using the Primordial Element Golden Bridge, spanning to the horizon, reaching a place shrouded in Golden Radiance.

Strictly speaking, that was a place being bathed in Buddha’s light, covering a dilapidated ancient temple.

The walls here had collapsed, many halls and houses had fallen, the garden was full of weeds, yet it felt very sacred, now being completely submerged by Buddha’s light.

Qin Ming, from afar, retracted the Primordial Element Golden Bridge, silently approaching.

Then, his pupils contracted, as outside the ruins, several Grandmaster-level Great Demons knelt with each step, as if on a pilgrimage, approaching the ancient temple.

Qin Ming was shocked, pondering, "Thousands of years have passed, they are no longer the Bodhisattva’s rides or Dharma Guardian Vajras of the past, only their descendants. Why do they still maintain such devout belief?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

Among them are the Six Tusked White Elephant, Golden Suanni, and even the Grandmaster-level Nanming Calamity Bird.

The Nanming Calamity Bird took a human form, bearing black wings, still keeping the bird’s head. Its old eyes were cloudy, already kneeling in front of the fallen temple gates.

An old monk, bathed in hazy Buddha light, walked out, personally helping it up, saying, "Though the protectors beside the Bodhisattva have perished, as their descendants, you can naturally become Dharma Guardian Vajras of our sect in this lifetime."

The Nanming Calamity Bird said, "Sadly, my life is nearing its end, my longevity is limited, unable to adapt to the drastic changes in the cosmic environment, heavily harmed by the Tao Rhythm’s shock."

The old monk replied, "No matter, since you have taken refuge in our sect, within the light of Buddha, the Great Leiyin Temple can transform your catastrophe."

The Nanming Calamity Bird immediately smiled; its Taoist practices were even higher than the old monk’s, but it maintained a low posture, now bringing its hands together in respect, paying homage again to the ancient temple.

Qin Ming finally understood why thousands of years later, these Great Demon descendants would still come to worship; they were seeking something. Otherwise, who would willingly bow down to others?

Inside the ancient temple, the chanting of Zen reverberated, increasingly serene and sacred.

Many buildings had already collapsed, offering a clear view to the end.

Qin Ming saw several beams of Buddha’s light, each containing beings, sitting cross-legged by the Seven Treasures Pool, gazing at a black lotus.

Additionally, there were several Great Demons who had already been in the temple for some time, all sitting silently, each a powerful Grandmaster.
