Chapter 253: Green Lamp, Ancient Buddha and Tusita Fire

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“It’s here!” Luo Haiyun shouted in excitement, pointing to a dilapidated Buddha statue.

The statue was enormous. It’s head alone was more than three meters high. Unfortunately, the head had already fallen to the ground, and the body, which sat in a lotus position, was weathered.

“Wow, they built such a huge Buddha statue! The temple is really large!”

“The cultivators in antiquity times all had extraordinary Divine Sense. Building a giant statue like this was like lifting a finger!” Golden Rooster turned to Luo Haiyun and asked, “Is this the underground palace you were talking about?! How do we get in?”

Luo Haiyun brought out a glittering bead from his pocket and showed it to the two.

“Is this Sarira?!” Golden Rooster recognized it as soon as Luo Haiyun took it out, “I can’t believe you have such good stuff!”

“The Sarira was left by the venerable monk who fled from the Small Thunder Temple; I got it together with the kasaya. It was used to open the underground palace!”

“He was so considerate!” Looking at the Sarira the size of a pigeon’s egg, Junior Leopard was confused. “How can a man’s bone be so smooth and round?”

But he didn’t have time to think about the question, because the Sarira in Luo Haiyun’s hand began to transform.

The wind in the space was not strong; it could be called a breeze at most. However, it was a gust of wind that turned the Sarira into ash. Certainly, it was unexpected, especially for Luo Haiyun, who was extremely anxious.

“Don’t panic, it seems to be changing!”

As expected, the sand-like Sarira didn’t drift far. It converged in front of the statue’s head and formed a gleaming vortex.

“Another separate space!” With a flicker of intelligence in his eyes, Junior Leopard understood the change at once.

The gleaming vortex was actually a passageway leading to an unknown space. Compared to the former passageway they had gone through, this one was much more magnificent, and it was far more superb than the space in Hollow Magic Carpet.

“So can we go in?!” Golden Rooster asked Junior Leopard.

“Sure! Why else would we be here?!” Junior Leopard smiled, then went straight towards the vortex with Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun following behind.

Enveloped in the vortex, Junior Leopard noticed immediately that the space was reversed. Feeling his heart tighten, he turned on his spiritual mind and tried to absorb all the abstruse space turbulence. He had some knowledge about space, although it was still somewhat sparse. He was also able to use Space Division Skill as well as Three Realms Division, but it was just to practice. If he wanted to grasp the real secret of space, he needed to experience things like this. Just like the Guiding Light that had been coming from the Ancient Ruins when they entered, and this translucent vortex passageway; all of which, the boundless turbulence and changes brought by various techniques, were Light coming from the Ancient Ruins.

“Here we are!”

Immersed in the mysterious turbulent tracks of space, Junior Leopard suddenly heard the voice of Golden Rooster.

He brought his thoughts back promptly.

The green lamp and the ancient Buddha!

The green lamp and the ancient Buddha!

That was his first and only impression of the underground palace of Small Thunder Temple.

The green lamp, with its beam-like lights, was radiating dark yellow flame.

Against the bluestone wall stood a long lifesize Buddha statue.

The underground palace was square, with a height of no more than seven meters. Junior Leopard estimated that it was about 50 or 60 square meters in total.

Depressing!

There was nothing except the green lamp and the ancient Buddha.

They looked at the green lamp, and the soybean-like flame shimmered in their eyes.

No matter what it was, they were in a thousand-year-old underground palace from antiquity times. It was sure-fire that this green lamp which had been burning for so many years was a treasure.

“It must be a treasure!” Compared to Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster’s discretion, there was no hesitation in Luo Haiyun’s heart. His family was ruined, and his only aim was to take revenge on the Wang family. Certainly, he would never miss a chance to strengthen his power. He affirmed the green lamp was a precious item as soon as he saw it and couldn’t help reaching for it.

“Be careful!” Both Junior Leopard and Golden Rooster screamed in warning, but it was too late.

“Aaaugh–!” His scream rang out before his hand even touched the lamp. With a flicker of yellow light, Junior Leopard faintly saw Luo Haiyun’s seizing hand vanish immediately. He discovered that Luo Haiyun’s hand had vaporized.

There was no bloodstain on or near his broken wrist. The blood had also been vaporized.

“Damn!” Cursing silently, Golden Rooster held Luo Haiyun and put medicine on his wounds.

“This really is a treasure, but it won’t be easy to take with us!” Junior Leopard stepped forward slowly to peer at the statue, then sighed.

At that moment, the Mysterious Fire in his Dantian flicked, and then the Gang Qi of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire began to surge abruptly.

HISS!

Junior Leopard hissed fiercely like a snake, his face turned a ghastly white. He didn’t stand firm until he fell back some steps.

“What happened?!” Golden Rooster asked Junior Leopard at once, noticing his pale face.

“This damn lamp, it seems like it conflicts with my Internal Qi!”

“What?!”

He had hardly finished speaking when the green lamp gave out a flicker of dark light and then disappeared before their eyes. The entire underground palace was in complete darkness.

“What happened ?! Where’s the light?” Luo Haiyun cried out.

The three were all experts above Level Seven, with excellent eyesight. They could clearly see everything in the underground palace without light, but how exactly had the lamp disappeared? They all missed it.

“I don’t know, it just disappeared suddenly!” Junior Leopard said honestly, and this was true. But he was clear that another green lamp had emerged in his Dantian when the green lamp disappeared. He was unclear how it had happened and what it would bring about. But if the green lamp was in his Dantian and he was safe now rather than being vaporized, perhaps it meant that there would be no great danger?!

“Treasures from antiquity times are always divine, maybe we just don’t have the luck to possess them!” Golden Rooster sighed. “This is the underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple, it’s not surprising to find strange things. We should look for other treasures!”

Junior Leopard and Luo Haiyun did not answer. Luo Haiyun’s look was even more disgraced than before. Before entering, he had still had a strong body. But now? His hope of avenging his family was ruined.

All of them were cautious this time. Their search in this empty underground palace was also very watchful. No one wanted to repeat Luo Haiyun’s mistake. y blow.

They searched for an hour but found nothing. The area was not large. It was constructed of ordinary bluestone which made a dull sound when they knocked on it. There were no special hidden grids or patterns, never mind treasures.

“We could bring the Buddha back, it’s not too big!” When they couldn’t think of anything else, Junior Leopard mentioned this idea. He looked at the Buddha.

The small green lamp had done such powerful damage, what would happen with the big Buddha statue?

A small green lamp had so powerful damage, how about the big Buddha statue?

Therefore, despite his suggestion, Junior Leopard did not move; the other two did not either. They just looked at the Buddha statue as if they wanted to see through it.

“Hehe, you small guys are really interesting. But there is nothing in the Buddha statue, it would be useless to move it back!”

A voice went off in Junior Leopard’s head abruptly and the expression on his face changed. He was grateful for the laughing mask which covered his face, otherwise, Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun would notice something was different.

“Who are you?!”

With this sound surfacing in his mind, it was natural for Junior Leopard to flash such a thought.

“I am not human, I am Spirit, the Green Lamp Spirit. I have been trapped here for thousands of years, and now I’ve finally found a chance to get out of here. What a rare opportunity!

“The Green Lamp Spirit… So you are the green lamp then?!”

“Yes, it’s me. Smart boy!”

“But how could you enter my Dantian?”

“Oh, you don’t have to ask about it. Now boy, I have some questions for you. You are here seeking treasures of the Small Thunder Temple, right?! Well, I have to tell you something disappointing. There is no treasure!”

“No treasure? That’s not true, you’re one of the treasures!”

“I don’t belong to the Small Thunder Temple, damn it!” The Green Lamp Spirit said it depressingly. “The underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple was not used to collect treasures, but to suppress Evil Spirits. The Small Thunder Temple was attacked by the Demon tribe and too many Evil spirits were trapped. All the evil masters united together furiously and captured the Small Thunder Temple, then the Evil Spirits were all set free!”

“So you’re saying, there is nothing good here except you, the inexplicable green lamp?!”

“Almost right!” The Green Lamp Spirit admitted honestly, “If you insist on getting treasure, the green lamp could be one, but it is not very useful for you. That’s it, leave the rubbish and get me out of this place quickly. I have been here too long!”

“It’s not easy to get out of here!” Junior Leopard laughed. “We came here for benefits, and we paid a painful price. If we can’t get any treasure, the other two will never leave the place, and neither will I.”

“I have told you there is nothing precious. You have already obtained the biggest benefit. If you really want something good, just carry the big Buddha statue back as you said before. The statue was built to suppress the Formation Eye, with Taiyi Luoxuan Metal as its raw material. It is a high-level material for Refining Weapons. The only defect is its heavy weight, almost ten million kilograms!”

“What? Ten million kilograms? That can’t be true, if it was that heavy, the underground palace would have sunk into the earth!”

“You stupid, it is the Formation Eye. It has an abstruse nature. Look carefully, is the statue on the ground?!”

“That’s not right, the statue seems like it’s not on the ground!” At this moment, Golden Rooster pointed to the Buddha statue and said, “look, the statue seems to be levitating!”

“How can it be?!” Junior Leopard cried out. He stepped inquisitively toward the statue in amazement, and wondered to himself, “is it safe to be near the statue?”

“That’s just a lifeless thing, what’s the danger!” The Green Lamp Spirit said with full disdain.

Junior Leopard grinned sardonically and moved forward. He stretched his hands out as if to hug the Buddha statue.

“Be careful–!” Golden Rooster reminded him quickly, thinking of Luo Haiyun.

“It’s ok!” Junior Leopard said. He didn’t touch the statue directly but took out his Blue Sword and knocked the statue pretentiously. The statue clinked as though the sword was hitting ordinary metal.

“It seems normal!” Junior Leopard brought back his Blue Sword and went forward to the Buddha statue. He took hold of the base of the statue with two hands.

“Well, ha– !”

Taking a deep breath, he lifted the statue with great effort.

CLUNK!

“Oh oh -!”

A light sound occurred, and a strange voice followed.

“Junior Leopard, what’s wrong with you?!”

“Damn, it is so heavy. I strained my back using too much strength!” Junior Leopard held his back and limped backward.

The expressions on both Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun’s faces had changed oddly, but they didn’t say anything. Golden Rooster went forward and tried to lift the statue himself. Finally, he nodded and admitted, “Okay, it’s too heavy. Bringing it back will not be an easy job for us!”

“We can’t just leave emptyhanded!” Luo Haiyun began to worry.

“Let’s search carefully one more time. Make sure we didn’t miss anything.” Golden Rooster understood how Luo Haiyun felt, but he had no other choice. An expert of Level Eight like him, who possessed sharp spiritual mind, could see everything clearly. If there was any abnormal turbulence in the underground palace, he would not miss it. Except for the weird changing of the green lamp at the beginning, nothing unusual had occurred. He was clear that their efforts would be in vain unless they could actually bring the Buddha statue back.

He also discovered that the Buddha statue was not built with ordinary materials. When he tried to lift the statue, he noticed that his power was almost useless against it. Moreover, his weapon and his hands had bounced back with an indistinct power. It was obvious that the statue was made with precious materials however, it was pointless if they could not possess it.

The three searched the underground palace once more, and still found nothing of value. They sighed hopelessly.

“Forget it. There is nothing valuable here, and we’ve wasted a lot of time. We should go outside and look for other opportunities!”

Luo Haiyun nodded reluctantly, regretful about the heavy Buddha statue.

After making the decision, they did not waste any more time. They left the underground palace through the translucent vortex one by one and went back to the Ancient Ruins.

Luo Haiyun and Golden Rooster took one last glance at the translucent vortex, with a bit of reluctance.

“We’d better leave now. If others detect us here and find the underground palace, there will be a lot of trouble!”

Junior Leopard reminded.

Golden Rooster and Luo Haiyun certainly understood. Though they hadn’t profited from the underground palace, they were the only ones who knew that. Others would never believe them. If they found the palace, the empty palace, they would definitely believe that someone had stolen all the treasure. No treasure? Impossible!

Just as they expected, soon after they left, there were two other groups who found the palace at the same time. But the result was the same. They entered in with high spirit and left with sour faces. They even fought in front of the palace; both had casualties.

The three had rambled through the Ancient Ruins for several days and found several useful items. Although the Small Thunder Temple had been destroyed by Demon tribes, it had after all, been a famous school in antiquity times. The attacking Demon tribes had also had casualties; their skeletons, as well as their precious medicines and weapons, remained in the Small Thunder Temple.

However, the Demon tribe was not famous for precious medicine. Though the tribe had collected lots of treasures of heaven and earth, they didn’t know how to store these things, and there were no dead bodies with high cultivation. Moreover, the medicines had been sitting here for so many years, they were of little value. However, the broken weapons were really good. Most of them were of high levels, and even the most inferior ones were Secondary Heavenly Weapons. A vast majority of them were also wizarded weapons. Though they were broken and lacked intelligence, the materials were good enough. Once people brought these weapons back and nourished them carefully, they could recover the excellent power. Besides, even if the weapons were useless, the materials were valuable and almost lost in today’s world. If they took these materials back, they could make a nice fortune.

Some were lucky and even found one or two broken magic weapons, which were very rare

Certainly, the most delightful things in the ruins were the plants. These plants were very helpful for Junior Leopard. He found many rare materials which had vanished in this life but were necessary for making Tendon-Changing Pills, Pulse Setting Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills and Blood Exchanging pills.

Junior Leopard roughly counted and found that the quantity of medicinal herbs was enough for him to make sufficient Tendon-Changing Pills and Pulse Setting Pills, even one or two Blood Exchanging Pills or Marrow Cleansing Pills, which were beneficial to him.

Aside from the medicinal herbs, Junior Leopard didn’t gain too much. Actually, besides looking for herbs, he had to divert a lot of his attention to the Green Lamp Spirit. The unknown creature was constantly urging him to leave the Ancient Ruins and enjoy life.

What was most important was that the Green Lamp Spirit could shout in his mind at any time and Junior Leopard had no way to stop it. Sometimes the Green Lamp Spirit rushed abruptly out when he was in the middle of cultivation, which almost led him to Qi Deviation. Junior Leopard was furious about it but could do nothing.

The Green Lamp Spirit hadn’t spoken to anyone for thousands of years. These days, it was so talkative that Junior Leopard was almost clear about its background.

As it had mentioned before, the underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple was used to suppress Evil Spirits. In antiquity times, people in the Small Thunder Temple had shouldered the responsibility of wiping out demons and guarding the principle. They killed as many of the captured demons as possible, and if there were ones with high cultivation, they repressed them. The Green Lamp Spirit was one of the Grand Demons in antiquity times. At that time, he had been captured by the Small Thunder Temple. His body was ruined, and his Original Spirit was put into the green lamp to burn and refine, but he was unexpectedly fortunate. The green lamp was actually a Pure Yang Celestial Device which bred natal original spirit during the refining. When the spirit developed completely, the green lamp would evolve into an immortal weapon.

But nobody in the Small Thunder Temple had noticed it, which could not be blamed. Theoretically, in very rare circumstances, a Pure Yang Celestial Device could breed natal original spirit and become a fairy weapon with the help of the essence of the world. But it was almost impossible. What’s more, the process was so long that it needed at least several thousand years. So no one in the Small Thunder Temple paid attention to this lamp, they just used it as a Pure Yang Celestial Device to refine the Grand Demon’s Original Spirit. Unexpectedly, the demon had seized the chance to merge his Original Spirit into the newborn Original Spirit. It had been just like an infant with no power to resist; it was swallowed easily by the Green Lamp Spirit. When people in the Small Thunder Temple realized what had happened, it was too late. Not only had the Pure Yang Celestial Device used for upgrading to fairy weapon become invalid, but it was also the target for refining the Grand Demon’s original spirit!

Similarly, the Grand Demon’s original spirit was united with the green lamp and it was impossible for it to leave out of the unification. With no better choice, monks in the Small Thunder Temple decided to put the green lamp into the underground palace and left it alone.

“Why was that? If the green lamp had a complete original spirit, it should have evolved into a fairy weapon. Why was it abandoned?”

“Bullsh*t. I am a demon and my original spirit is certainly a demon spirit. The original spirit of the green lamp is made of Tusita Fire which conflicts with me. We are mutually conflicting. It took me 50 thousand years to dissolve the spirit of Tusita Fire from the original spirit; almost 80 percent of the lamp’s power lies in the Tusita Fire. Now I am the original spirit and they cannot manipulate the fire. Naturally, the lamp is useless for them. Why are you so surprised!”
