Chapter 2135: Chapter 2133: A Dead Man Kneeling Toward the Northwest

Barbaric Forbidden Land!

West State!

There is only the Buddhist Sect inheritance, yet West State has become the most terrifying place in the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land, which is truly astonishing and shocking!

Especially when Princess Zi Xuan told Ye Tianchen that the reason West State became the most terrifying place in the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land is not because of anything else, but because anyone who arrived here, aside from the Buddhist Sect members, never returned. It’s rumored that the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance killed all those people!

When Ye Tianchen heard this, he was truly shocked. His first reaction was three words: I don’t believe it.

The Buddhist Sect’s inheritance is profound, powerful, and mysterious, but it’s well-known that the Buddhist Sect embraces compassion and aims to save all beings. This might also be the reason why the Buddhist Sect has remained thriving for millions of years. To say that all who have come to West State were killed by the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance is something Ye Tianchen finds hard to accept and believe. Could the Buddhist Sect really be so brutal and bloody? It seems to overturn the knowledge of many beings in the Martial Arts World!

”No way, the Buddhist Sect’s compassion is its creed, how could they possibly kill all those who arrived at West State?” Ye Tianchen shook his head in disbelief and asked.

”Actually, I don’t want to believe it either, but the Barbaric Forbidden Land’s tales have been passed down since the end of ancient times, and everyone says so. The reason West State became the most terrifying place is because anyone who enters West State, if they are not part of the Buddhist Sect, has never appeared in any other state again. So, in the end, everyone accepted it, and no one dared set foot in West State anymore!” Princess Zi Xuan said with furrowed brows.

”Big brother, my grandpa also told me not to come to West State; it will be very dangerous!” Tu Qiuyu said with a somewhat frightened look.

Hearing what Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu said, Ye Tianchen really became more and more puzzled and also found it extremely strange. Is this really the case? Did those who came to West State and never reappeared really get killed by the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance? If not, why have all these people who reached West State never appeared again?

”Is it really like this? Martial Artists wouldn’t fear such rumors, surely there are still strong individuals who dare to come to West State?” Ye Tianchen asked, half-doubting.

Princess Zi Xuan glanced at Ye Tianchen, as if she remembered something, and said with a somewhat sad expression: ”Actually, I didn’t believe it either, but just over a hundred years ago, an elder from my Flying Flower Zen Temple also ventured into West State and never came back...”

”So that’s how it is. It seems the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance in West State is quite peculiar!” Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.

”Big brother, big sister, let’s find a way to leave quickly, lest we also...” Tu Qiuyu said fearfully, stopping mid-sentence.

”Qiuqiu, don’t worry, big sister will definitely protect you!” Princess Zi Xuan said as she gently stroked Qiuqiu’s head.

”Exactly, big brother will also protect you, no need to be afraid!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen now understood why Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu felt fear and worry as soon as they knew they had reached the West State territory. It turns out they both knew about that rumor and knew that anyone who reached West State never returned, most likely truly killed by the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance!

It seems that there is only the Buddhist Sect inheritance in the West State of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, and contrary to logic, the place where this sole inheritance exists is the most terrifying in the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land. The simple truth is that in the vast West State, other inheritances cannot establish themselves here. In the Martial Arts World’s billions of years of development, many powerful and far-reaching inheritances exist, yet none dare to establish themselves in West State, showing just how formidable the Buddhist Sect inheritance is, virtually intimidating the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land. Anyone who has reached West State, as long as they are not part of the Buddhist Sect, has never reappeared. This is another great intimidation. Over such a long period, there must have been strong individuals who reached West State. Take the elder from Flying Flower Zen Temple mentioned by Princess Zi Xuan, for example, who must have been a strong individual, yet he too never returned. There’s really too much shady stuff...

Now, Ye Tianchen has two questions in his heart. First, why do the temples he passed by not have statues of the Buddhist Emperor, but instead have Buddha statues exuding a Demon Beast aura? Second, are the people who once reached West State really dead? Were they really all killed by the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance?

”We currently can’t even find the location of the West State Transmission Array Compass. We can’t even be sure of life and death!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a somewhat negative feeling.

”Then we can’t just stay here and wait for death!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Then what do you suggest we do?” Princess Zi Xuan sighed and asked.

”Keep moving forward. No matter what, we must find the West State Transmission Array Compass. If we do encounter an attack from Buddhist Sect members, we can fight it out. Waiting for death isn’t your style, right?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”I’m really beginning to find you unusual. You still have the confidence to joke in this situation!” Princess Zi Xuan said, looking at Ye Tianchen with an unusual gaze.

”What else can we do? Let’s go, you protect Qiuqiu and follow behind me. Hopefully, our luck will be good, and we’ll soon encounter a Buddhist Sect member!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen performed Qi Manipulation Flight at the front, while Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu followed behind him. Just as Ye Tianchen said, no matter what happens, they must continue forward. They can’t just wait here, as waiting won’t yield any results, not even the risk of life-threatening danger, which is definitely not what they want. Whether there is danger or it’s just rumors, they must find one or two Buddhist Sect people and ask them!

The journey continued forward, only Ye Tianchen, Princess Zi Xuan, and Tu Qiuyu were more cautious. Indeed, the rumors of the West State made people feel some fear, especially when they have encountered something eerie, making them quite uneasy!

”It seems there is a larger temple ahead!” Ye Tianchen looked ahead and said.

”Yes, let’s go over and take a look, but be a little careful!” Princess Zi Xuan replied cautiously.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen led in front, while Princess Zi Xuan and Tu Qiuyu followed behind him. The three of them flew toward the larger temple. When they reached the temple entrance, they found ruins around the temple, unlike the smaller temples they passed earlier that were well preserved, as if someone had been living there and had just left!

”This seems to have been deserted for a long time!” Ye Tianchen looked around this temple and noted.

”Yes, unlike the smaller temples we encountered earlier, let’s go in for a look!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded and said.

Stepping inside the larger temple, Ye Tianchen, Princess Zi Xuan, and Tu Qiuyu were all startled, especially Tu Qiuyu, who was almost scared enough to scream, but Princess Zi Xuan swiftly stopped her. However, even Princess Zi Xuan was not lightly frightened!

As it turned out!

When Ye Tianchen and the others walked into the larger temple, they saw a Buddha statue inside the temple, carrying an aura of Demon Beast. But in front of the Buddha statue’s cushion, instead of emptiness, there was a person kneeling with hands clasped together, as if praying, yet this person’s life force had dissipated, dead!

”This man is dead, he is a Human Clan practitioner!” Ye Tianchen went over to take a look at the person and said.

”This man is so strange, he even has a copper ring on his nose!” Tu Qiuyu, feeling a bit braver, said curiously.

Princess Zi Xuan’s eyes changed, and she couldn’t help but walk over, shocked in her heart: ”This person... could it be... Tonghuan Taoist?”

”Tonghuan Taoist?” Ye Tianchen asked in confusion.

”Tonghuan Taoist is a powerful loose cultivator from Northern State, the most noticeable feature is the copper ring on his nose. He is among the top three powerful loose cultivators in Northern State. It was rumored that he ventured into West State hundreds of years ago and never returned. I didn’t expect such a powerful figure also to die in West State...” Princess Zi Xuan remarked as she looked at the man kneeling on the ground with clasped hands.

Ye Tianchen felt a shock in his heart, among the top three loose cultivators in Northern State’s territory, even the weakest is mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, yet he died here, and the manner of death is so strange, kneeling on the ground with clasped hands, how exactly did he die?

”It’s unclear if Tonghuan Taoist passed naturally or was killed, but his posture is peculiar?” Ye Tianchen said with curiosity.

”What’s peculiar about it?” Princess Zi Xuan asked.

”Look, Tonghuan Taoist is kneeling on the cushion with hands clasped, whether he passed naturally or was killed, he seems to be worshipping the Buddha. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be kneeling with clasped hands, but the direction of worship is not towards this Buddha statue, rather towards the northwest direction. Don’t you find it odd?” Ye Tianchen expressed his doubt.

”Perhaps he was killed, and someone intentionally humiliated Tonghuan Taoist’s corpse in this manner!” Princess Zi Xuan contemplated for a moment and suggested.

”If that’s the case, it’s even stranger. Why would the powerful figure who killed Tonghuan Taoist make him kneel on the cushion with clasped hands, worshipping towards the northwest direction? I have a feeling that our next direction should be northwest, to see what exists there...” Ye Tianchen declared with determined eyes.

Princess Zi Xuan was stunned, glancing at Tu Qiuyu: ”What are you saying, deliberately choosing a direction that might be dangerous to pursue, is it really necessary?” (To be continued.
