Chapter 1940: Chapter 1938: [A Taoist Decree, the Monks Depart]

Buddhist All Living Beings!

In fact, it’s a gigantic Buddhist Stone Statue, but the statue’s face is sculpted not as Buddha, but as the faces of common monks, which is why this Buddhist Stone Statue is called Buddhist All Living Beings!

Ye Tianchen and Wuji Taoist had a hard time entering this Buddhist All Living Beings, but to their surprise, inside the giant Buddhist Stone Statue, except for the cushions for meditation on high platforms in every direction, it was completely empty, with nothing left behind. Wuji Taoist couldn’t help but find it unbelievable, as this differed from the rumors she had heard before. She never expected such a sight inside the Buddhist All Living Beings!

”But here, it’s clearly empty, as if no one has been here for a long time!” Ye Tianchen looked around and said.

”There must be something suspicious here!” Wuji Taoist shook her head and said.

Ye Tianchen was also puzzled. He understood what Wuji Taoist meant. Although the Buddhist All Living Beings is just a stone statue of Buddha, it’s the place where Buddha once stood to give lectures on the Dharma. It is a supremely sacred place, almost no one dares to desecrate it. It’s a place that cultivators who believe in the Buddhist Sect revere the most. Not to mention others, even reaching the Saint Realm, if they can’t find such a place, they might spend their lifetime wishing to cultivate here. How could such a precious place that would drive even a Supreme Strong Emperor in the Martial Arts World crazy be empty?

Even given such an opportunity to him, Ye Tianchen, who holds firm to his inner beliefs and always wants to walk his own path, would seize such a rare opportunity to comprehend here. Not to mention others, especially not the believers from the Buddhist Sect. How could anyone miss such an opportunity, leaving such a place empty?

”That should be where Buddha once sat, right?” Ye Tianchen looked at the center position on the high platform in front and asked.

”What... what do you want to do? You’re not thinking of stepping onto it, are you?” Wuji Taoist gasped, genuinely afraid that Ye Tianchen would do something unreliable!

”Haha, am I that barbaric? Don’t worry, I won’t mess around in this place!” Ye Tianchen looked around and said.

Indeed, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t mess around here, because he sensed an unusual atmosphere. It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to mess around, but as he said, he wasn’t barbaric and wouldn’t mess around indiscriminately. Of course, when faced with life and death danger, Ye Tianchen can’t promise he won’t mess around!

”This is the place I’m looking for. I want to comprehend the Tao here!” Wuji Taoist looked around, saying very reverently.

”You don’t intend to leave?” Ye Tianchen glanced at Wuji Taoist and asked.

”It’s not that I don’t intend to leave but rather to understand the truth here. If I can’t comprehend it thoroughly, I don’t think I will leave. On Earth, the legacy of Buddhist Law, this counts as the pinnacle!” Wuji Taoist nodded.

Wuji Taoist was right. Speaking of Earth, inside this ”Buddhist All Living Beings” statue counts as the pinnacle of the Buddhist Law legacy. One can imagine, the Buddhist Emperor is the most mysterious and one of the most powerful Great Emperors throughout time. Truly finding a place where he once stood is rare, and once you leave Earth, in the vast Martial Arts World Star Domain, such a place may never be found again!

”Then you comprehend here, I’ll take a stroll!”

While speaking, Ye Tianchen looked around. It’s empty everywhere, except the stone walls surrounding him, there were lots of meditation cushions. Ye Tianchen counted and found them densely packed, numbering several hundred, and at the very center position, there were five cushions on each side, totaling ten, which seems to correspond to the legend of the Buddhist Emperor’s ten disciples!

”What kind of place is Earth exactly, why are there so many secrets left behind, so many shocking, unexpected phenomena? Even in the broader Martial Arts World, it’s probably hard to find a place like Earth. Earth must have significant secrets!” Ye Tianchen recalled his experiences, always feeling that so many things, so many incredible events, happened on Earth, which is truly extraordinary and worthy of exploration.

Whiz!

With a swift leap, Ye Tianchen flew into the air. Of course, as he himself and Wuji Taoist said, he’s not a barbaric person and wouldn’t mess around casually. So even seeing these meditation cushions, Ye Tianchen didn’t act rashly, only sensed them.

”Hmm? These cushions...” Ye Tianchen suddenly discovered that the cushions placed in the meditation positions were quite strange. He couldn’t help but frown and reached out to touch one.

Boom!

As soon as Ye Tianchen touched the cushion, a flame burst into being, instantly turning the cushion to ashes. Ye Tianchen was taken aback, frowning at this sudden scene, without any reaction, unsure of what was happening!

”Don’t touch them. These cushions haven’t been used for meditation for thousands, possibly even longer years. It’s due to the special Magic Law here that they’ve been preserved, but touch them and they’ll turn to ash!” Wuji Taoist explained.

”It seems you’ve realized something!” Ye Tianchen glanced at Wuji Taoist and said.

”Hmm, you can come down first. I now know where the Barbaric Forbidden Land is!” Wuji Taoist nodded and said.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen landed on the ground, looked at Wuji Taoist, and said, ”I’m really pressed for time!”

”Then don’t you want to hear the story about this place?” Wuji Taoist asked with a smile.

”I’m willing to hear more!” Ye Tianchen was curious, and his curiosity could indeed bring unexpected rewards. He wouldn’t miss any secret story because what is comprehended from these secrets can be beyond imagination.

Wuji Taoist was herself a cultivator of Buddhist Law, and her comprehension and talent were equally high. Although Ye Tianchen had once captured Wuji Taoist with the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” he never dared to underestimate Wuji Taoist’s strength, especially her understanding of Buddhist Law, which could be much deeper than Ye Tianchen’s.

Originally, just when Ye Tianchen was checking around, Wuji Taoist was sitting cross-legged here, and she sensed some situations inside this stone statue. A high monk who was the last to leave this stone statue had left a thought, telling later arrivals about what happened here!

”What? All the monks have left Earth?” Ye Tianchen was very surprised and asked after listening to Wuji Taoist’s recount.

”Hmm, it should be during the Late Ancient Times when the Ancient Transmission Array hadn’t been shattered yet. All the Buddhist sect high monks on Earth left. As for the specific reason for their departure, I don’t know...” Wuji Taoist frowned and thought.

”Suddenly, all the Buddhist sect high monks on Earth left, and still before the Ancient Transmission Array got shattered; it’s very strange!” Ye Tianchen said with a frown, unable to figure out the reason.

”It’s related to Buddha’s decree!” Wuji Taoist said solemnly.

”Buddha’s decree?” Ye Tianchen asked, shocked.

In the endless Martial Arts World, any peerless figure who reached the Emperor Cultivation Realm could truly control the world, unrivaled in strength. The decree of an emperor figure is like fate itself; who dares to defy it?

”The final scene I saw was many Buddhist sect high monks cultivating inside this stone statue, comprehending some things Buddha had imparted during his lectures. They never left this stone statue, but then one day, a decree descended from the sky, shocking all the strong figures on Earth, making them feel the urge to kneel. This decree flew directly into the stone statue, and on it were only two large golden characters...” Wuji Taoist said in an astonished tone.

”Two large golden characters...” Ye Tianchen paused in self-talk and asked.

”Depart!” Wuji Taoist said heavily.

”Depart?” Ye Tianchen asked in surprise.

”Yes, just the word depart made all the high monks leave the inside of the stone statue and directly leave via Earth’s Ancient Transmission Array, which is why it’s empty here!” Wuji Taoist nodded and said.

Wuji Taoist’s words indeed surprised Ye Tianchen. He didn’t expect there used to be so many Buddhist sect high monks gathered here; these people were high monks of the Buddhist sect but could also be considered strong figures in the Martial Arts World, possibly even Supreme Strong. With such a group of people walking inside the Martial Arts World, who could oppose them? Which legacy force dared to challenge them?

However, just a decree, a decree from Buddha, made all the high monks in the Buddhist sect leave Earth simultaneously. It’s truly a puzzling scene. Why would Buddha issue such a decree? Where did all these Buddhist sect high monks head to after leaving Earth? Did Buddha have something to explain?

”I’m just as curious as you are. Why did Buddha issue this decree? Where did these high monks go after leaving Earth? Does Buddha have a plan?” Wuji Taoist frowned, glanced at Ye Tianchen, and said.

”A mighty decree commanding strong figures across the Galaxy; is this the means of the Buddhist Emperor?” Ye Tianchen said through gritted teeth. (To be continued.
