"Come with me!"
As Brahma Yi and Hong Yu spoke, she let out a long howl towards the sky, as if she was communicating with it.
Soon after, a divine falcon with a body as black as a shuttle and as sharp as a sword descended from the sky. The surging waves of air caused the ground to tremble slightly.
It was the Dark Winged Sword Eagle!
However, the moment the Sword Eagle landed on the ground, it seemed to sense something terrifying. It immediately folded its wings and stood there like a little chick, trembling in fear.
This land had a terrifying treasure guarding it, exuding an aura that suppressed all the demonic beasts, causing it to feel an instinctive fear.
Hong Yu also understood in his heart that deep within the underground palace, there was a Five Emperors Tree that was able to suppress the entire structure, and even the Supreme Demon Immortal's skull was suppressed to the point of not daring to move. Although the Dark Winged Sword Eagle was handsome, and even had a bit of aptitude, when facing the aura of the Archaic Divine Tree, it was instinctively fearful.
He did not use his Astral Energy to fly, nor did he use any treasures like the Immortal-ranked sword. Instead, he followed Fan Yin and mounted on the Dark Winged Sword Eagle.
Furthermore, this Blackwing Sword Eagle belonged to the ancient bloodline. Its speed was extremely fast and it was unable to use the Immortal Sword. Under such circumstances, there was no need for him to waste spirit crystals.
In the past few days, he had been cultivating, refining magic treasures, and irrigating the Five Emperors Tree. He had also consumed a great deal of spirit crystals, so he only had a little more than ten left.
Even though he had a small world within it that he could use to continuously produce spirit crystals, his quantity was limited. He had to quantify the amount at a time and could not squander it freely.
Rushing high in the sky and through the white clouds, Hong Yu also felt that his heart had never been so empty before. Many things flashed through his mind.
He was looking forward to meeting the legendary buddhist Bodhisattva.
A Bodhisattva was equivalent to a Saint of the Hundred Families. A living legend was something even the Ape Clan Grandmaster Ape Grandmaster and the Three Thousand Celestial Sect of Wonders could not compare to. Aside from the legendary Evil God of the Infernal Realm and the Hongwu Emperor, Hong Yu simply couldn't think of anyone else who could surpass a Bodhisattva.
Amongst the myths about Buddhism, the Bodhisattva was the strongest below the supreme Buddha!
Moreover, Hong Yu had also faintly figured out many secrets from Brahma's words. He knew that the mysterious Bodhisattva had an extraordinary relationship with his mother.
If the other party wanted to see him, he wouldn't be able to avoid him. He might as well go in broad daylight and investigate his mother's past, maybe he could restore the truth from back then.
However, he was afraid that the Bodhisattva would see through his secret. He instinctively felt that he could not reveal the secrets of the Five Emperor Tree, or else there would definitely be a great disaster, and right now, he had already completed all the preparations for the sealing of the area. With him gone for a few days, there shouldn't be any problems.
As he travelled, he secretly observed and realized that the Dark Winged Sword Eagle carrying two people was actually flying with no effort at all. It even had some energy left, and as he slightly flapped his wings, it immediately stirred up the air currents, causing them to surge upwards and glide through the air. Its speed was so fast that it broke through the sound barrier and reached the pinnacle.
"This bird has already transformed into a demon and condensed a beast core." He discovered that there was a golden feather on top of the bird's head. It was particularly conspicuous within the eagle's jet-black feathers. It flickered with a bright light and complicated patterns could be seen on its surface.
The surging spiritual energy was devoured through the golden plume feathers and then circulated in his body, replenishing the giant eagle's terrifying consumption of energy. This golden plume was probably the Dark Winged Sword Eagle's mutated beast core, which was different from the Ape Clan beast cores that Hong Yu had seen before, or the Great Earth Devil Bears, or even the Sea Demon Pellet.
This bird was probably comparable to a human expert who had broken through six or seven shackles. With just the last step, he would be able to transform the beast core and transform his supernatural power into the Qi of the Xiantian realm, allowing him to soar through the clouds and dust!
This Dark Winged Sword Eagle was a prehistoric and special species. Even if it did not cultivate, it could still fight with lions and tigers. One could see how fierce it was. After cultivating and obtaining the painstaking care and nurturing of a great master like Brahma, his true combat prowess was not something to be looked down upon, and was far more tyrannical than a human expert of the same level.
After a brief calculation, Hong Yu secretly felt that even with his awakened strength of fifty ancient golden spears, a strength of over a hundred thousand jin would not be as great as this eagle's.
Of course, this was also normal. The other party was an ancient beast race, a natural born king of the demon race. This kind of demon race was very rare in the entire Wasteland.
"This place is already far from your fief. Aren't you afraid that I would suddenly make a move and take revenge for the talismans? To kill you and vent my anger?" After flying for an unknown period of time, they had left the wilderness, and the distant mountains had turned into little black dots. "If you want to know that I'm a third stage Divine Vault, an Elephant Qi warrior, and I'm a Sword Eagle, if we want to kill you together, you can only obediently kill me."
Hong Yu only felt that his escaping speed had suddenly increased, and it was probably even faster than the speed of sound by several times. The surrounding strong wind whistled, and like a bone scraping steel knife, it tore apart Hong Yu's clothes, and even his skin cracked open, causing faint traces of blood to seep out.
Moreover, the giant eagle suddenly soared into the sky and dove down, making all sorts of dangerous movements in the air. It seemed as if it really wanted to throw Hong Yu off its back and die.
The First Heavenly Layer was activated, and a barrier of astral energy appeared around her, firmly protecting her entire body. When the astral wind blew, it didn't even touch the hem of her clothes; she seemed to want to see Hong Yu make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, Hong Yu's cultivation was deep, and he was able to operate one of the trillions of golden lances. With the enhancement from the power of fifty ancient lances, his entire body seemed to have become as heavy as a thousand catties, as if it was a cauldron that was firmly stuck to the back of an eagle and would not be blown away by the astral winds, nor fall down.
He did not reply to Fan Xian Yi's words, and with a slight thought, the poisonous spider armor that was like a veil of fog instantly changed form around his belt, enveloping his entire body, isolating all of the astral winds outside. Only then did he feel completely at ease, completely comfortable: "Even though I have cultivated to the peak of the first stage of Divine Stash, my qi rolling like the tide, it's still not pure enough, and it's also not thick enough. Just like Brahma One, she can transform her Astral Energy into Qi to protect herself and resist the astral winds. I can't do it, the consumption is too terrifying, I'm afraid that in the span of a few dozen breaths, my Astral Energy will be depleted and I can only rely on the power of my armor to protect myself. Unless I reach the second stage of the Divine Vault, the Qi Condensation stage, and become a Divine Weapon, that's the nature of the change … "
"The changes in your armor are quite amazing. It's a top grade treasure. It's rare even in some of the other immortal sects." Seeing this, Fan Yin also showed an envious expression: "I was just trying to scare you, I didn't expect you to take out such a treasure, it really shocked me, but using this armor to resist the astral wind, I'm afraid it will consume a lot of spiritual energy."
"It's not like I don't have any secrets. I'm afraid that I won't be scared if I were to be frightened!"
Hong Yu felt the armor on his body squirming, dispelling the powerful auras on his body, completely isolating himself from his body, his body was warm, and when he circulated his Qi a little, he could communicate with the armor, as if they were already one and the same. A huge force that originally did not belong to him rose up from his four limbs, releasing light which made him look like a god.
When this strange phenomenon appeared, even the Flying Dark Winged Sword Eagle turned its head to look at him. A trace of fear flowed out from the depths of its eagle eyes.
Although it did not evolve further, it had become more and more mysterious, and its power had also been restrained. It did not use its usual belt when it was not used, but when it was used, it was as nimble as an arm, providing him with surging strength at any time, "Weapons and armor are things that warriors usually use. Although I have a shallow foundation, I am not unable to take out even a single piece of armor."
Actually, it wasn't just the armor. Ever since he learned that he could use his own blood to inscribe the Dusk Aura of the Gods, he was unable to use it to refine treasures. These treasures had all been refined by him day and night, and were far more marvelous than before.
"This armor was bestowed to you by Emperor Hong Wu?" She withdrew her barrier of qi, the astral wind caused the clothes on her body to flutter, but she could not move her body at all. It was obvious that her martial arts were profound, and she could not be compared to Hong Yu: "But you are short-sighted, and are most likely to be moved by these little favors. Don't forget your mother's grudge!"
"I refined this armor myself, but it has nothing to do with the imperial government or royal father." Hong Yu also had a question in his heart: "Junior Martial Uncle, since you had the relationship with my mother back then, you would naturally know everything that had happened. Why didn't you tell me personally and insist on me meeting your Buddha, the Bodhisattva?"
"I can't tell you the details of the events that happened in the past. After all, I didn't fly east with your mother and arrived on this continent. I don't know much about the details of the events that occurred in the past." Besides, Bodhisattva has more important matters to discuss with you. " "You are from a very complicated background. Mother belongs to my Buddhism, so she can be considered to have half of my Buddhist bloodline, but the other half belongs to Emperor Hong Wu. In the end, we are not the same type of people. Your mother's affairs involve many of my Buddhist myths, and unless the Bodhisattva himself explains it, I dare not say so. "
"Of course I'm not on the same side as you. Apart from my mother's burning passion, I actually don't want to have anything to do with you. You must know that you are from the other continent after all. Coming here, you don't even know what kind of ideas you have for establishing the Eternal Sand Buddha Kingdom and governing the entire continent? " "If that's the case, then I will definitely stop them. The citizens have lived a good life with great difficulty these past few years, and the country's strength has increased, but they can't be destroyed by you Buddhist monks, not even if there's a Bodhisattva."
"Alright, the reason why I, the Buddhist Eastherd, am doing this, is actually only for the benefit of all, to spread the Buddhist Dharma and to impart the glory of the Buddha. It is not as sinister as you make it sound. Of course, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you all of this. You'll understand that there's no way to explain this later. " Fan Yin rubbed his forehead, seeming a bit impatient. "In fact, I'm still a bit curious. Since you rose up half a year ago, you have been unstoppable since then. I wouldn't believe you even if you were beaten to death without an expert's guidance."
"Of course. My cultivation is low, yet I've done miracles time and time again. Do you really think that there's no one behind me, Junior Martial Uncle?" Hong Yu feigned ignorance, giving the other party a mysterious feeling.
"Who is that expert standing behind you?" Brahma was shocked and skeptical: "Could it be that the powerful officials in the imperial court, those antique figures who followed Emperor Hong Wu into the world, were the founders of the country? It definitely can't be Emperor Hongwu. He has transformed into a myriad of individuals and overseen the entire world, but it's impossible for him to do such a senseless thing. Just who is it that I can't figure out? "
"You will know about this in the future." Hong Yu once again said ambiguous words.
Suddenly, as they were talking, the Dark Winged Sword Eagle rushed out of the layers of clouds, and in front of them, a boundless blue sea, a vast coastline, and in the distance, a huge island was situated in the middle of the sea.
Hong Yu stood on the back of the eagle and operated the main eye. When he looked into the distance, he found a wondrous scene, and could not believe his own eyes.
It was dusk, and on the peak of the giant island stood an ancient temple. Every brick and tile of the temple gave off an ancient feeling. The mottled marks left behind by the passage of time were like swords, deeply engraved and unerasable.
It was as if this temple had traveled through the ages and experienced the vicissitudes of time. Just like that, it entered his field of vision.
Under the setting sun, Hong Yu looked down at the endless sea and the islands. Through the ancient temple that exuded vicissitudes of life, he could vaguely see a nation of the past, a great civilization!
The Buddha Country, the civilization of Buddha!
This ancient temple, this Bodhisattva Temple, seemed to have experienced the glory of 'Buddha', the rise and fall of 'Buddha'. It would never move, and would always exist!
