Chapter 550: What Makes You Think I Can Bear it?
After they passed the bridge and entered the temple area, Venerable Karma Seeker began chanting a Buddhist chant. Not long after, the view in front of them became wobbly, and Venerable Karma Seeker simply stepped inside, with Aldrian following.
He could sense strong illusion laws and a formation similar to the one in the bamboo forest.
"This illusion can trap someone at the emperor stage. If they are trapped here and try to approach the temple, they will never reach it in their lifetime unless they can overpower the illusion formation. It is powered by the entire sect ground, with our treasure inside serving as the eye of the formation," Venerable Karma Seeker said.
Aldrian nodded in understanding as they approached the temple. The temple did not have a door, and normally they could instantly see the interior from outside. However, because of a kind of formation that obstructed their view—like looking at wobbly space—they could not see what was inside.
Venerable Karma Seeker stopped once again and chanted a Buddhist chant before the wobbly space disappeared, revealing what was inside. Once the distortion faded, rich heaven and earth energy mixed with divine energy swept over Aldrian.
Inside, the temple resembled a hall, and in the middle of it was another pond, still connected to the one outside. However, his attention was instantly drawn to something at the center of the pond. What he saw was a translucent lotus, emitting a light that made it resemble a diamond illuminated by a radiant glow.
His eyes glimmered as the crystal lotus’s light reflected in them. He felt a strong connection to the lotus, which made him think of Tianlian.
Venerable Karma Seeker walked inside with a smile and stopped before the pond, then looked at Aldrian, who had followed him.
"Benefactor Aldrian, this is the Heavenly Lotus of the Buddha, the most treasured treasure of the Buddhist sect," he said, then looked at the lotus again.
"When our ancestors arrived on this continent, they found this lotus right here. It was as if fate had guided them to this place, making this place as the main sect of the Buddhist sect."
"Our ancestors, whose cultivation far surpassed the emperor stage, experienced the deepest comprehension of the Buddhist doctrine from this lotus. That was why they did not hesitate to declare it the most treasured treasure from that moment on. From this lotus, we have received many benefits. With its help, we developed our own techniques, unique to the Buddhist sect on this continent.
