Red Jade Staircase.

Top left, bottom right.

Everything seemed to be in order.

Those who went up had a pious look on their faces, as if they were looking forward to something.

Those who came down had an expression of piety and excitement on their faces.

From this, it could be seen that the status of the Great Tzu Sage Buddha could be seen in people's hearts.

"Forty-nine!" After finishing the last red jade staircase, Long Huayi counted in his heart for the last time.

"Seventy-seven, forty-nine. Number of Samsara? The white jade fence also has seven pillars, which is one of the reincarnation cycles … " From the very beginning, Long Huayi had felt that the main hall of the Golden Head Palace was a little strange. After he finished counting the red jade stairs, he felt even weirder.

What Long Huayu didn't know was that the main hall of the gold-topped palace of the south mountain was constructed in accordance with a formation known as the 'Reincarnation Lock'. The Great Blessed Buddha as the eye of the formation, the 'Red Jade Stairway' as the heart, the 'Tranquil Heart Pool' as the profound veins, and the golden palace as the energy. This sort of grand formation probably wouldn't even allow a Deity to escape.

After stepping onto the last red jade staircase, Long Huayu couldn't help but turn around and look into the distance.

Dazzling mountain mist, flying birds playing with the clouds …

Looking at the scene before his eyes, Long Huayu couldn't help but feel a surge of energy in his heart. He felt as if he were heaven and earth. A sort of natural comfort instantly filled his heart, as if he knew everything.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and enveloped Long Huayu within. From a distance, he looked like a golden child reincarnated in the sun as he showered.

Suddenly, Long Huayi felt the ground tremble slightly. Actually, he wasn't the only one who felt it. The entire Luan Ming Continent also slightly trembled. Although it was very weak, many people still felt it.

Long Huayu felt as if his sleeve had been pulled. He gently turned his head around and stared at the small stone behind him.

"It's our turn to enter!" Looking into Long Huayi's eyes, Little Shi spoke softly. After she finished speaking, she pointed towards the main hall. Looking at his eyes, Little Shi felt as if Long Huayi had gained something, a feeling that she couldn't explain clearly.

"Yes." Long Huayu faintly smiled as he spoke. He didn't say much as he walked over.

Looking at Long Huayi's back, Little Shi also quickly followed.

After crossing the threshold of the limestone that was a foot high, Long Huayi's group of four finally stepped into the main hall that was shrouded in incense.

Just as Long Huayu stepped into the main hall, a crack appeared somewhere in the main hall, and it was slowly expanding.

At the same moment, in a certain room of the South Mountain Great Tactics Temple, the monk who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed suddenly froze. His expression immediately turned into one of pain, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

— — As far as the eye could see, there was a tall, bluestone Buddha statue standing in the middle of a row of golden Buddha statues.

The azure-colored Buddha statue was the legendary 'Holy Buddha Daozi'.

This Buddha.

Twenty feet tall, the bluestone was carved into the shape of a human, its surface smooth and round; it had no facial features, only four limbs; the humanoid Buddha sat cross-legged, his left hand clutched in front of his chest, his right hand placed between his thighs, he sat on a cloud.

This was the world-famous' Holy Buddha Daozi '. Thousands of years ago, he had personally created this' Buddha 'through the enlightenment of the Dao and the primordial chaos. If you just look at the statue, you really do owe the name of the 'Holy Buddha'. However, this great Buddha stood for a thousand years, and under the influence of time, it finally possessed the renowned name of 'Holy Buddha' throughout the world.

There are many books in the world that record the legend of the Buddha of Great Tzu, and many people who have seen the true face of the Buddha of Great Tzu, but why are the pictures or descriptions of the Buddha of Great Tzu not recorded in books or passed down through their mouths?

There was only one reason!

That was, 'Buddha's Day, not allowed!' written on the huge monument erected at the foot of the southern mountains.

The main palace hall was extremely quiet. Not even the slightest sound of candles exploding could be heard.

Everyone looked at the Great Blessed Buddha with different expressions. Even Long Huayu, who did not believe in Buddhism, was somewhat shocked at this moment.

"Formless, Formless!" Maybe this is the truth about Buddha? " Looking at the true form of the Great Sage Buddha, Long Huayu muttered to himself. The expression in his eyes was one of endless doubt.

After experiencing the incident with the phoenix, Little Shi had somewhat restrained herself. At this moment, she had a serious expression on her face as she sized up all the buddhas in the hall. Even her breathing had become light.

In the entire main hall, there were a total of seven praying mats. There were too many rascals, so everyone was waiting in line.

After a long time.

Finally, it was Long Huayi's turn to pay his respects.

Long Huayu had been pushed to the middle of the prayer mat by his mother, 'Wang Feng', just in time to face the 'Holy Buddha of Great Tzu'. Even if he was completely unwilling, he had no choice but to kowtow to Buddha due to his mother.

Little Shi was placed on a cushion to the left of Long Huayi. Wang Feng, Long Huayu's mother, and Zhang Qian, Little Shi's mother, were placed to the left and right of Long Huayu and Little Shi. The other three people lined up in front of the prayer mat.

Luan Ming continent's Buddhist worship ceremony, three kowtows, nine kowtows. Three bows first, then nine kowtows.

He bowed.

After Long Huayi and the others bowed to the Buddha, the originally clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. The dark clouds from all directions poured in like a tidal wave.

This change in events was as quick as changing one's face. Within the main hall, everyone felt that it had suddenly become much darker.

Two bows.

Long Huayu and the others had already bowed twice in the span of two breaths. The sky was covered by dark clouds, making it difficult to see his fingers.

The fiery light was like a lightning stone, as if the end of the world was approaching, causing the hearts of everyone in the room to tighten.

Three bows.

"Kacha, kacha, kacha …" Suddenly, a long bolt of lightning appeared in the dark sky, followed by a series of tiny explosions.

"Ka Cha …" "Bang!" A huge lightning bolt resounded through the world.

At this moment.

The red jade stairs outside the main hall and the cracks within the main hall that looked like a buddha had reached the boundary.

"Creak …" "Bang …" The seven wide doors of the main hall were simultaneously closed by the strong wind. The heavy sound was like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of everyone in the main hall. Their ears immediately started buzzing.

This sudden change caused everyone in the main hall to be greatly alarmed. And he stopped bowing, and looked at me, and I was stunned.

Long Huayu's mother, 'Wang Feng', dashed up to Ji Hao and hugged him tightly, constantly stroking his head. Little Shi Shi was also tightly hugged by his mother.

Suddenly.

The main hall was filled with the sound of rustling.

And then, for no reason whatsoever, the Great Sage Buddha transformed into countless shards of rubble that rained down upon the land.

Looking at the collapsed Blessed Buddha, everyone could no longer stay calm. In an instant, all of them rushed towards the main hall's gate, bringing with them a wave of disturbance.

"Rumble …" A deafening sound rang out, followed by a cloud of dust that dispersed into the air.

Long Huayu had just taken a step forward when a buddhist hand smashed down, right on top of his footprint.

"Ahhhh!" In the dust filled main hall, some people were hit and let out miserable shrieks.

Outside the main hall.

The white jade relief sculpture that was initially embedded within the red jade stairs had now been shattered into pieces. The phoenix carved on the white jade had long since turned into countless pieces of broken stones, scattering on the ground.

At the bottom of the Serene Heart Pool, there were several cracks. The originally clear pool had now turned into a dried up pit.

Both inside and outside the main hall, it was as if an enormous force had plowed through it, revealing a trace of pale and powerless body. The South Mountain's Golden Temple was shrouded in a dark sky. It seemed lifeless, without any of the majestic aura it had before.
