A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 107 Buddhist Lineage
At the bottom of the abyss, in a corner filled with transparent crystals, a monster that had been motionless and looked like a corpse suddenly raised its head.

At this moment, the monster looked up at the man and the dragon above with its blood-red eyes.

Han Li used his spiritual eye technique to focus his gaze and saw that it was a giant rock frog, seven or eight zhang long and as big as a small building.

"Guardian beast?"

"No, there's a corpse aura..."

"Could this be a corpse demon that has been dead for many years and then resurrected with spiritual power?"

Moreover, he hadn't noticed it before, but now that he was closer, he realized that this place was actually a gathering place of Yin energy within the Crimson Forbidden Land.

Within the forbidden area, the deaths of both cultivators and demonic beasts were not uncommon.

When living beings die, they all generate yin energy.

Under the blazing sun, the yin energy would naturally dissipate quickly. However, due to the ancient wind-attribute array isolating the space, the Crimson Forbidden Land is perpetually shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to eliminate the yin energy generated by the deaths of living beings.

After 60,000 to 70,000 years, there has to be an outlet. Or rather, there has to be a dumping ground.

This place, for some reason, happened to become a gathering place of yin energy.

"So, after this giant rock frog died of old age, it was eroded, nourished, and transformed by the yin energy of this place for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, eventually transforming into a spirit and becoming a zombie-like corpse demon?"

Han Li's eyes narrowed.

"Quack, quack..."

The corpse demon that the giant rock frog had transformed into suddenly let out a strange cry.

The full release of his aura, combined with the ghostly howls that penetrated to the very soul, brought a strong sense of oppression to both the human and the dragon.

"This is... a high-level corpse demon? Its aura is even comparable to Master Hongfu's?!"

Han Li stumbled and almost fell off the back of the black dragon Xiao Liu.

At this moment, his expression changed drastically, his heart pounded, and he felt that this time his joy was about to turn into sorrow:
"It's careless!"

First, he should have sent a few level 2 golems down to check the situation, and only approached after confirming that it was safe enough below!

He guessed that there might be some troublesome monsters in this place, such as a few level 3 guardian monsters. But he never expected that instead of encountering monsters, he would run into a high-level corpse demon with a spirit attached to its corpse.

It was because he was too confident in his current methods that he ended up in a dangerous situation.

How to do?
The Invisible Needle Talisman and the Qiankun Tower Talisman are not incapable of dealing with late-stage Core Formation cultivators, but they require time to activate.

The time required to activate that talisman alone would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over.

On Mo Jiao Xiao Liu's side, the sudden pressure emanating from the Corpse Demon caused him to stiffen. He opened his mouth, but the sound that came out was no longer the powerful roar of a dragon, but more like a tense sob with severely insufficient confidence.

However, just as the man and the dragon were feeling immense pressure, circles of cyan runes suddenly lit up in the void of the deep pit.

After numerous runes appeared, they converged on the giant rock frog that was about to attack Han Li and Xiao Liu.

Before the corpse demon transformed from the giant rock frog could make any further moves, the runes formed a thin film that enveloped it and then, without explanation, restrained and teleported it.

In the blink of an eye, the giant frog that had transformed into a corpse demon vanished without leaving a trace.

The black dragon was dumbfounded.

Han Li was also stunned.

However, he quickly realized something, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, a look of sudden realization flashing across his face:
"No individual above level 4 is allowed to exist within the forbidden area. Once they do, they will be targeted by the forbidden area's array and teleported to an independent space similar to the second floor of the Void Heaven Palace. This corpse demon has been cultivating in seclusion here for countless years and has never fought anyone, which is why it has temporarily escaped the detection of the forbidden area's array."

"But that attack just now clearly unleashed his true power, which in turn triggered the forbidden area's array..."

The corpse demon of the past had concealed its aura and escaped the lock-on of the forbidden area's sensing array.

The corpse demon just now exuded an imposing aura and possessed a powerful presence, comparable to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. However, this also allowed it to be detected by the forbidden area's sensing array.

Moment.

They were sent to an independent space created by the Lord of the Forbidden Land.

To break free from the isolated space and return, or escape the Crimson Forbidden Land, one must either possess the cultivation and foundation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator when the Forbidden Land as a whole enters a period of decline, or at least possess the cultivation of a Deity Transformation cultivator when the Forbidden Land's grand formation is at its strongest.

Otherwise, don't expect to break free from independent space.

"I didn't expect that the forbidden area formation not only has strict restrictions on the magical power cultivation of humans and demons, but also has similar restrictions on aberrant beings like corpse demons."

Otherwise, he would be in danger.

"Thank goodness it was a false alarm..."

...

The corpse demon was gone, leaving only the green treasure chest and a large amount of spiritual herbs around the scene.

He took off the green treasure chest, opened it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The most eye-catching item inside is a vajra that radiates a brilliant golden light. This vajra is undoubtedly a top-tier Buddhist treasure or an ancient artifact.

Secondly, it was a neatly folded kasaya, with a faint, shimmering aura emanating from it.

Next was a simple string of Buddhist prayer beads. There were 109 beads in total, each radiating a faint Buddhist aura.

Upon seeing this string of Buddhist prayer beads, Han Li's first instinct was that this thing was not simple.

In addition to the three items—a vajra, a kasaya, and prayer beads—there are three boxes, each containing a few jade slips.

He immersed himself in the text and quickly read through it, soon learning what most of the jade slips recorded.

Inside the box were jade slips containing transmission manuals, recording numerous Buddhist techniques and supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, although there are various Buddhist methods that have been almost lost since ancient times, there is no such method as the Mingwang Jue that uses evil energy to refine the body.

The jade slip in the second box records the origin of the person who left behind the legacy. It turns out that this ancient Nascent Soul cultivator was the Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sound Sect, one of the ten ancient sects of the Great Jin Dynasty. It also records some secrets from the time of the Demonic Tribulation.

The third box contained a jade slip containing many of the special skills of ancient Buddhist masters.

For example, the various arts of cultivation such as weapon crafting, alchemy, and talisman making.

It also recorded a method for preparing a "spirit wine".

The herbs used are a variety of ancient medicinal herbs.

After hundreds of years of fermentation, the spirit wine can strengthen the body, improve the resilience of the meridians, and enhance physical strength.

It is a good medicine used to assist in the cultivation of a certain body-refining secret technique in Buddhism.

The longer the medicinal herb used, and the longer the time it takes for the wine to ferment underground, the higher its medicinal properties will be.

This magical wine exists in two places.

One place is where yin energy gathers.

Another location is beneath the tower in the core area of ​​the forbidden zone.

That place is the most spiritually dense area in the forbidden zone.

Furthermore, one of these jade slips records the origins of three artifacts.

The Vajra Pestle is the natal magic weapon of the ancient Buddhist Nascent Soul stage cultivators. When this cultivator was critically injured and on the verge of death during the demonic tribulation, he entrusted everything to the Lord of the Forbidden Land.

The kasaya is one of the ancient treasures inherited by the Leiyin Sect: the brocade kasaya.

It is an extremely rare and exquisite antique.

When paired with the Nine-Ringed Staff, one of the ancient treasures passed down through generations, the combined power of these two treasures—one for offense and one for defense—can truly be unleashed.

pity.

The brocade cassock still exists, but the nine-ringed staff was destroyed by a powerful ancient demon during the demonic calamity.

Then, there was the string of Buddhist prayer beads.

This string of Buddhist prayer beads is not only a rare treasure, but also a symbol. Each bead on the beads represents a Nascent Soul stage Buddhist cultivator from ancient times. It was made by stringing together the relics left behind by those heroes who died in battle and refining them through special Buddhist secret techniques.

It possesses immense power.

Using a Buddhist secret technique to trigger the self-destruction of one of the relics can even temporarily delay an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Initially, when this string of prayer beads was first formed during the most critical stage of the demonic tribulation, it had a total of 358 beads.

Later, with the increase and decrease of the ancient demonic calamity, only 109 remained in the end.

The only drawback is that it requires Buddhist spiritual power to be used perfectly.

The Core Formation level of Taoist and Confucian magic can only unleash one percent of its power, while the Nascent Soul level of Taoist magic can activate one-tenth of its potential. Using demonic magic to control it will inevitably result in being devoured by the Buddhist energy contained within the beads.

"Huh? The Taoist magic can actually unleash one percent of its power?"

What a wonderful baby!

Han Li's eyes shone brightly.

He then looked around at the numerous medicinal herbs that resembled small clumps of grass:

"Ten thousand years old, they're all ten thousand years old...!"

　Guys, you know what I mean. I've done my best.

　　I'm so busy, so busy, so busy.

　　I shouldn't have been updating with 10,000 words every day before.

　　This seriously underestimates the complexity of marriage.

　　It's not just complicated, it's also tiring.

　　I'm going back to my parents' home tomorrow morning, to Yilong. I didn't get home until after 10 pm, so I just rushed to write this. I can only promise to resume updates after the National Day holiday. I'll have to make do for the next couple of days. Waaah…

　　Please give me all the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets you can.

　　Woo woo woo...
