Chapter 491: Earth Shrinking Technique (I)
Within the demon god barrier, an obscure and unfathomable aura was slowly brewing. The Wind of Annihilation was gone, the Annihilation Wraiths had vanished, and even the yaos had hidden themselves away. The entire demon god barrier had fallen into a rare silence. With everything suddenly so quiet, Lin Zheyu found it strangely difficult to adjust. He raised his head and looked toward the colossal Buddha towering in the distance, noticing an invisible pressure radiating from it, while profound Dao resonance laws swirled around its phantom form, condensing into clusters of seven-colored mist like auspicious clouds.A trace of understanding arose in Lin Zheyu's heart. The opportunity presented by the rule fragments could only be considered as side dishes. The real prize lay in the Dao resonance insights gained from that enormous Buddha phantom. That, most likely, was the real reason this space-time node had appeared.
"An unspoken understanding among the strong..." Lin Zheyu murmured softly.
This space-time node belonged to the Buddhist sect, the next would belong to the ancient yaos, and the one after that to some other power. Perhaps the appearance of these space-time nodes had long since been arranged. Lin Zheyu could not help thinking of martial cultivation sects in the mortal world.
"The space-time nodes that ultimately failed were probably just meant as training grounds, weren't they?" Lin Zheyu guessed.
An inexplicable emotion rose in his heart, leaving him unsettled. Even martial artists as powerful as Huang Baizhong and Elder Yang were like ants in the eyes of these mighty immortal cultivators. Only martial artists like Bai Lin, who had broken through to the Martial Innate realm, could be treated by them as their peers.
Seeing Lin Zheyu staring at the distant Buddha phantom in a daze, Ji Zitong asked curiously, "What are you thinking about, Fellow Daoist Xiao? You seem completely absorbed."
This battle fought side by side had brought Lin Zheyu much closer to them, and the strength he had displayed had earned Ji Zitong's respect.
Lin Zheyu came back to himself and smiled. "That Buddha phantom is not the true body, is it? Yet it can suppress a space-time node. I was wondering just how terrifying the strength of its true owner must be."
"I know a little about that. It is said this Buddha phantom is the dharma body of an Arhat Venerable of the Buddhist sect. Its strength is immense, equivalent to the Deity Transformation realm of the Immortal Dao," Ji Zitong said.
"Oh? Then what stage of the Immortal Dao would a Buddhist sect's Bodhisattva correspond to?" Lin Zheyu asked at once, intrigued.
"A Bodhisattva is equivalent to the Void Cavern realm of the Immortal Dao. As for the level of a Buddha, that corresponds to the Dao Converging realm," Ji Zitong said.
