Faintly, the sound of bells seemed to echo out.
Using the power of his double pupils, Shi Yi's vision pierced through the mist and golden light, revealing a bizarre scene: massive stone pillars, a collapsed ancient temple, broken Buddha statues, and the faint, murmuring sound of chanting...
This place resembles a Buddhist kingdom, with numerous Buddha statues standing tall. However, time is merciless, and the former glory is gone, leaving only dilapidated ruins.
"Western religion?"
Shi Yi immediately thought of this force. In the Eight Domains and Three Thousand Provinces of the Lower Realm, the Western Sect was not a weak force and had a certain connection with the lineage of the ancient monks.
This collapsed and dilapidated Buddhist kingdom is very likely a relic left behind by the participants of the Western Sect in the ancient war.
He walked through the mist and into the ancient temple. Instantly, a sense of clarity swept over him. The sound of the Buddhist bell rang out, and the moment Shi Yi heard it, his heart calmed down and became undisturbed.
His eyes shone brightly as he walked through the collapsed Buddhist and Taoist temples, opening his mind and experiencing the tranquil Buddhist spirit.
When Shi Yi arrived before a magnificent but somewhat dilapidated Buddha statue, the chanting of sutras instantly amplified, as if a monk with profound Buddhist knowledge, his entire body covered in gold, was reciting Buddhist scriptures and expounding infinite profound truths.
Shi Yi listened intently, standing in front of the Buddha statue, absorbing the wonderful passages in the scriptures.
Unfortunately, not long after, the meaning of the scripture changed, from explaining the profound principles of the Great Dao to guiding Shi Yi to convert. If it were an ordinary being, it would be difficult to discover the trickery. By the time they discovered it, the seed of conversion had already been planted deep in their hearts, and it would become uncontrollable in the subsequent process. Fortunately, this had no effect on Shi Yi.
He opened his eyes, and without lingering, left the place.
During the rest of his journey, Shi Yi listened to Buddhist scriptures many times and benefited greatly. However, many times, the meaning of the scriptures changed as he listened.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Shi Yi heard a Buddhist scripture about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which explained this lineage's understanding and views on the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This was very important to Shi Yi, as he was at the beginner stage of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and could only use a castrated version of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art. If he could achieve something and make a breakthrough on this path, then his mastery of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art would become even stronger.
The Buddhist and Taoist regions are vast and boundless, filled with the sounds of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. Those with weak wills are very likely to be misled by these scriptures and develop the idea of taking refuge.
Shi Yi walked for a long time, immersing himself in the ocean of Buddhist scriptures. Over time, much of the fierceness in his body dissipated.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and saw a blinding golden light. Shi Yi immediately stepped forward.
Chapter 103 Inscriptions, Mending the Sky
The golden light was intense, as if the sun had set in the west and was shining on the earth.
The hazy golden light that Shi Yi saw outside the Buddhist kingdom came from there.
Such a strange phenomenon must contain an extraordinary opportunity, and Shi Yi did not want to miss it, so he stepped towards the source of the golden light.
At first, there was nothing unusual, except for the faint sound of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures in my ears.
As Shi Yi drew closer to the source of the light, the sound of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures grew ever louder, deafening and resounding, like the tolling of a great bell, shaking people to their core and leaving them unable to control themselves.
Shi Yi gazed ahead. He was still quite a distance from the source of the light. Judging from the increasing intensity of the Buddhist chanting, it would probably sound like thunder when he reached the source.
He took a deep breath, his primordial spirit solemn and majestic, transforming into an ancient bell to resist the influence of Buddhist scriptures. At the same time, his physical body's inner heaven was fully opened, and divine radiance spread out, transforming into rings of divine halos. His double pupils shone brightly, creating a pure land centered on himself, impervious to all laws.
Above his head, on one of the ten great star grotto heavens, a ferocious and enormous Taotie roared to the sky, opening its blood-red maw to devour everything in the world, even the sound of Buddhist scriptures.
After doing all this, Shi Yi was significantly less disturbed.
He perked up and quickened his pace.
Before long, Shi Yi arrived at his destination. After passing through the dilapidated ancient temple and the ruined shrine, several huge Buddha statues lay scattered on the ruins ahead. In the middle of the ruins, a golden pool about half a meter square appeared before Shi Yi's eyes. It was filled with a mysterious golden liquid, and a precious light and fragrance permeated the air.
The golden light shone down, turning Shi Yi's eyes golden as he used his double pupils to examine the composition of the golden liquid.
The final result was that the golden liquid was an unimaginable treasure, with immense benefits to the physical body.
If one were to cleanse their physical body with this golden liquid, they might attain an indestructible body.
"Diamond Liquid!"
Shi Yi understood what this was; it was the famous Vajra Liquid of the Western Sect.
Refining one's body with Vajra Liquid can create an indestructible Vajra Body, the ultimate Dharma Body of the Western Heaven Sect, immortal through countless eons, unparalleled, and even incorruptible after death. It is said to be able to withstand the treasures of all heavens, making it incomparably powerful.
Unfortunately, this divine liquid is extremely difficult to refine. On the ancestral mountain outside the Western religious domain, in an ancient pool, only a few dozen drops can be produced each year.
Of course, this is the Western religion in the lower realm; the Western religion in the upper realm is certainly far stronger than the Taoist tradition in the lower realm.
The pool in front of Shi Yi is the best proof. The ancestral mountain pool of the Western Sect in the Xuan Domain can only produce a few dozen drops each year, while the pool in front of him has more than half a pool, which is far more than a few dozen drops.
Such an amazing opportunity, yet previous entrants did not take advantage of it. It can only be said that the Buddhist chanting that lingered in this place was too terrifying, and even someone as strong as Shi Yi had to do his best to stop the erosion of the Buddhist scriptures.
Faced with this rare opportunity, Shi Yi did not hesitate. He took off his clothes and went naked to the pool. He jumped in and entered the liquid in a cross-legged position.
With a "plop!" Shi Yi's figure disappeared, and he sank down, his whole body immersed in the water.
Instantly, the Vajra Liquid boiled and shone with golden light. Endless divine power surged towards him from all directions, entering Shi Yi's body through his pores, unleashing vast divine energy, and triggering the terrifying potential deep within Shi Yi's body.
The external divine power and the divine power gushing from within converged to form numerous immortal divine runes, which were engraved on Shi Yi's body surface, blood vessels, and flesh, pushing Shi Yi's physical strength to an unprecedented level.
His physical body was already very powerful, having opened up a physical grotto. Now, after being baptized and blessed by the Diamond Liquid, his physical body has reached an even higher level.
Soon, the effects of the Diamond Liquid permeated into Shi Yi's bones, and strands of golden divine patterns emerged, engraving themselves on the surface of Shi Yi's bones, stimulating deep-seated potential. His bone marrow also changed, turning into a dazzling gold.
Bone marrow is the substance that produces blood. When bone marrow turned golden, Shi Yi's blood, Shen Xi, also turned golden.
"boom!"
An earth-shattering aura erupted, and Shi Yi could no longer suppress it, directly rushing into the Inscription Realm.
At the same time, his physical strength surpassed its limit, shining with golden light, as if he had cultivated an indestructible body.
When the divine power within Shi Yi's body approached saturation, he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Shi Yi was already sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool. The original half pool of Vajra Liquid had vanished, completely consumed by him, leaving not a single drop.
It is astonishing that such a huge quantity could be used up by one person.
It should be noted that even the successors of the Western Sect in the Xuanyu region don't receive many drops per year.
If the quantity is insufficient, it is impossible to forge the blood into the bone marrow and generate indestructible blood. Successors of the Western Sect throughout history have only forged their skin to the point where it turns golden, which is already considered extraordinary and greatly enhances the physical body.
There are very few people in the world who have cultivated themselves to such a thorough degree as Shi Yi.
Even the Western religion, which is located in the upper realm, is unlikely to appear.
Shi Yi got up, stretched his body, and his limbs stretched out. A terrifying cracking sound came from his bones, and a dazzling gold burst out from his flesh.
The mere movement of his body caused a loud bang in the void, demonstrating the terrifying power of Shi Yi's physical body.
"Do I have achieved the sixteen-foot golden body? Or is it the indestructible Vajra body?" Shi Yi muttered to himself. He felt that it should be considered the indestructible Vajra body. After all, the sixteen-foot golden body belonged to a great supernatural being of the ancient monk lineage. He must have been proficient in Buddhism and used Buddhism to temper his golden body.
Regardless of which one, he is much stronger than before, and his cultivation level has risen from the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Inscription Realm.
The Ancient Sacred Academy is truly a place of great opportunity, with too many opportunities that do not belong to the lower realm.
Of course, to achieve great results here, one needs sufficient strength and comprehension.
For example, in the swordsmanship area, if it were Shi Yi from the original story, he would probably only be able to get a slight understanding of swordsmanship before he had to leave in a hurry. Those hundreds of sword tombs are no joke; they can easily leave one riddled with holes.
As for the eighteenth level—the dilapidated Buddhist Kingdom—in the original story, Shi Yi probably wouldn't be able to reach the area where the Vajra Liquid is located. There are terrifying chanting sounds blocking the way, and if he were to force his way in, his mind would be overwhelmed by the chanting sounds, which would be a greater loss than gain.
Shi Yi stood up, pushed off the ground with both feet, and jumped out of the empty ancient pool.
Because he had drained the ancient pool of Vajra Liquid, the entire dilapidated Buddhist kingdom dimmed.
He scanned the area with his double pupils, making sure he hadn't missed anything, and then continued on his way without looking back.
During the subsequent journey, Shi Yi came into contact with several other Great Daos, many of which he mastered, such as the Devouring Dao of the Taotie, the Five-Colored Divine Light Dao of the Five-Colored Peacock, and the Chaos Dao of Chaos.
In the end, most of the ancient beasts on the ten stars above his head underwent a qualitative transformation.
Shi Yi's cultivation level also rose steadily, reaching the mid-stage of the Inscription Realm.
This realm is divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfect stage. Each stage is very different, and to advance to the next stage, a cultivator needs to accumulate years and consume a lot of time.
The four minor realms of the Inscription Realm require the same amount of time to advance to each of the previous major realms.
Only exceptional geniuses can advance triumphantly, evolving fiercely and unhindered.
Even a peerless genius like Shi Yi would need several years of arduous meditation to break through to the next level.
Fortunately, he was blessed with good fortune and had a constant stream of opportunities. Being in the ancient holy academy, he could move forward with great strides.
"Nine months."
Shi Yi walked out of a large avenue and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Nine months have passed since he forcefully stormed into the Ancient Sacred Academy despite the pressure of the laws of the saints. During this time, he has gained tremendously. Any one of his achievements would cause a huge uproar in the Desolate Region. His cultivation and combat power have also grown astonishingly. At the age of twelve and a half, he has reached the mid-stage of inscription, which is a terrifying thing.
This is because Shi Yi has been steadily building his foundation. If he were to go all out, a twelve-year-old Ranked King might be born in the Desolate Region.
Of course, that's impossible. Shi Yi's foundation is to always pursue the strongest path in every realm; he won't destroy his own Great Wall.
Even with Shi Yi's steady and methodical approach, his cultivation speed is unmatched by any other living being.
He embarked on his journey once more, now deep within the Holy Academy, where the Great Dao regions he encountered were no longer desolate.
They even encountered living beings along the way, but the place where those beings were trapped was not on the ancient road that Shi Yi was walking on.
It sent a telepathic message to Shi Yi, with a seductive intent, attempting to persuade him to approach its confinement location.
Unfortunately, Shi Yi's will was as firm as a rock, and he remained unmoved, simply ignoring the issue.
The deeper you go, the stranger the situation becomes; it's not surprising to find living ancient creatures.
With a vigilant heart, Shi Yi fully activated his double pupils to observe the surrounding environment and used a secret technique to protect his primordial spirit, preventing any terrifying creatures from harming him.
Currently, he is just a minor cultivator at the Inscription Realm. Facing Divine Fire, True One... or even a sect leader-level being, he is no different from an ant, easily shattered upon contact, even if the opponent is merely a remnant spirit.
Therefore, Shi Yi always followed the ancient road and did not leave easily.
As he strolled along, his eyes scanning his surroundings, a magnificent old site blocked his way.
The plaque leaning against the ground told Shi Yi where he was.
Through the cracks, three large ancient characters can be faintly seen – the Patching Heaven Sect.
"The Heaven-Mending Sect!"
Shi Yi whispered the name of the ruins.
It was during the ancient times that the Patching Heaven Sect's lineage existed in the lower realm. According to the Patching Heaven Pavilion Master, in ancient times, the Holy Academy was a super-powerful force, jointly built by many forces from the upper realm. However, it was later destroyed in war for some reason.
Back then, Ghost Lord was demoted to the mortal realm. Out of gratitude, he participated in this battle. He was known as the most amazing human powerhouse in those days, and he overpowered his peers in the Three Thousand Provinces. His combat power was naturally extraordinary.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't protect the lineage of the Patching Heaven Sect. Severely injured, he fought his way out of the Ancient Holy Academy and established the Ancient Pure Land Patching Heaven Pavilion in the outside world. He also planted a divine seed, which grew into the sacrificial spirit of the Patching Heaven Pavilion today.
However, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. In the end, Ghost Master was assassinated by the Heavenly Kingdom's assassins and perished in the ancient times.
Now, Shi Yi has arrived and stepped into the ruins of the Butian Sect.
This place is mysterious, with an inexplicable aura. The name "Mending the Sky" itself has a mysterious Taoist charm, which makes Shi Yi think of many things.
He wandered among the abandoned ruins and saw many battle marks left by powerful members of the Heaven-Mending Sect.
Those with high comprehension might be able to glean some basic understanding from these Dao traces, while others would only feel the ancient and weathered atmosphere and sense the magnificent aura of the powerful beings of the past.
People with double pupils like Shi Yi are different. When he saw a knife mark, a terrifying image of an unparalleled expert wielding a knife and slashing at him immediately appeared in his eyes. Within his double pupils, symbols were densely packed, constantly deducing, as if to recreate the ancient battle.
He was so engrossed in watching that he could even hear shouts and sounds of fighting.
Purple internal organs, starry divine ring, ten spiritual bodies, physical grotto heaven, indestructible body... Shi Yi's various abilities involuntarily manifested, as if he wanted to personally participate in that fierce battle back then.
After a long while, these methods were all extinguished, and things returned to normal.
When Shi Yi came to his senses, he felt warm inside his body, feeling comfortable all over. His limbs and bones were burning, and even his cultivation level had become much more solid.
He has had too many opportunities and gained a great deal during this period, which has not only made things complicated but also disrupted the original unity of things.
However, in the ruins of Butian Pavilion, he fell into a strange state of enlightenment, as if he had personally participated in the ancient war.
After the battle, all the defects were made up for, and his aura became unified and harmonious, as if he had undergone a thousand trials.
Shi Yi stared in astonishment at the changes in himself, then looked at the ruins again, gaining new insights.
"Mending the sky...mending the sky...so that's how it is."
He muttered to himself.
The next moment, his double pupils glowed, scanning the collapsed, dilapidated, dust-covered ruins.
"Buzz!"
Symbols emerged from the ruins, slowly rising and converging on Shi Yi, eventually forming an unparalleled and wondrous technique in the void.
These symbols are crystal clear and contain astonishing profound truths, telling the story of a peerless secret technique called "Mending the Sky".
It is said to be invincible from birth, allowing cultivators who regret their actions to start over. Moreover, the Heaven-Mending Technique also possesses powerful offensive capabilities, capable of repairing the heavens and earth.
The Heaven-Mending Technique hidden in the ruins of the Heaven-Mending Sect is not the broken ancient technique of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion outside, but a truly complete and flawless secret technique. The power between the two is incomparable.
