Chapter 546: Chapter 89 Life Law

Above the heavenly vault, the crescent blood moon was gradually setting behind the western mountains, while a sliver of pale light began to show in the eastern sky.

On the open ground to the east of the Land of Buddha Transformation, the three brothers of Ga She sat opposite Shakyamuni with an enlightened air, laying out the situation everyone wanted to know.

Ga She said, “Senior, the Land of Buddha Transformation is actually the place for forging the Arhat Golden Body. Just like my current situation, as long as one enters the Buddha Transformation Pond and operates the method of cultivating the Buddhist golden body, in no time at all, the golden body will surely be re-forged!”

“Can that small puddle of lake water really have such a great effect?” Yang Jian’s slightly sickly face showed a tinge of flush as he asked in surprise.

Ga She waved his hand and said, “The entire Endless Buddha Realm has three Lands of Buddha Transformation. One is on the Ancient Star of Cang Huo, one on Holy Buddha Star, and the last is the one on Ten Thousand Buddha Ancient Star. All monks above the Taiyi Realm in the Endless Buddha Realm must rely on the Water of Buddha Transformation to achieve the Buddhist golden body!”

“What? You mean that tiny puddle of lake water is enough for all of you?” Long Xuhu pointed at the misty lake in surprise and said.

“Big brother misunderstands!” Kasyapa interjected, “Every thousand years, the Land of Buddha Transformation will once again condense a lake of Water of Buddha Transformation. The reason why Buddha was able to find you all so quickly this time is because yesterday was the day the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancient Star’s Land of Buddha Transformation recondenses the Water of Buddha Transformation!”

“Isn’t that too coincidental?” Li Qingming couldn’t help but give a wry smile upon hearing this.

Indeed! It seems like their luck was always good.

The first stop at the Fire Origin Realm, they happened to discover the Fire Feather Temple; when they arrived in the Cang Yuan Realm, they landed right at the cultivation place of Canghong Ancestor… and this time, they had directly landed in a place in the Endless Buddha Realm where Arhats were mass-produced.

One must admit, luck was also a form of strength!

At that moment, the blood moon finally disappeared completely behind the western mountains. Three rounds of golden lights, twinkling like new-born birds, climbed up the heavenly vault one after another.

“Swoosh!”

A gust of morning breeze carrying moisture drifted from east to west, brushing away the dense mist that had enveloped the stone forest and the lake.

The thick mist that appeared after the blood moon rose had finally begun to dissipate, revealing the lake below.

After the changes of this night, the lake amid the stone forest had transformed significantly.

The place was full of flowing light and colors, with radiant mists everywhere, utterly dreamlike.

The dried-up pond now brimmed with shimmering blue water. The lake glistened like jade, and the golden Spiritual Energy of Buddha surged down, engulfing the entire stone forest in a blur of cloud and light.

Moreover, the two massive rocks at the very front of the lake had also merged once again. Still the stone carvings of Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti Buddha Mother, still the seamless stone wall. Yet compared to yesterday, it now seemed to have an added touch of vivacity.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me!” Seeing this scene, Ga She began to float up, leading the way through the stone forest. Li Qingming and others followed closely behind him.

Weaving through the dense stone pillars, the group arrived in front of the Buddha Transformation Pond.

Compared to the bumpy, withered puddle of yesterday, today’s Buddha Transformation Pond presented a stunning sight.

The water in the lake was clear and bright, as though it were Jade Liquid, with flowing glimmers, rising clouds, ethereal mists, and a crystalline radiance. It was as if time and space had altered.

Yes, it was changing time and space! The pond below did not seem like a mere body of water, but rather a beautiful small world, filled with various mysteries.

“Is this the same small puddle of water from yesterday?” Yang Jian and Li Qingquan stared with faces full of amazement, unable to associate this beautiful landscape with the dry lake from the previous day.

“Seniors, this is the capability of the Land of Buddha Transformation!” Ga She, floating at the forefront, said with a faint smile,” No one knows where the Buddha Transformation Pond’s power comes from! Even the falsely compassionate Buddha has investigated these three great Lands of Buddha Transformation several times to no avail!”

“Eldest brother!” Suddenly, Long Xuhu, who was trailing at the rear of the group, spoke out, “Eldest brother, there is a trace of the Power of Life Law here!”

“Really?” Li Qingming’s eyes lit up, not expecting such an unexpected surprise.

Long Xuhu stroked his dragon whiskers by his lips and said, “Of course! It is very faint, but I captured it at the bottom of this Buddha Transformation Pond!”

“That’s not right! You saw it yesterday too, there was only so much space at the bottom of the lake. Even if there was the Power of Life Law, how come you didn’t sense it yesterday?” Li Qingquan paused for a moment, then said.

“I do not know why that is. But my spiritual senses are not mistaken!” Long Xuhu frowned.

“Let’s not worry about that for now, let’s have Ga She reforge his body first, and then you can do as you please with this pond!” Li Qingming waved his hand and turned to Ga She, “Ga She, your golden body was destroyed by me, and now that there is an abundance of lake water, go ahead and reforge your golden body!”

Ga She was startled, never having imagined that there would come a time for him to reforge his golden body, and he immediately said to Li Qingming with ecstatic joy, “Senior, earlier…”

“Alright, don’t put on a childlike demeanor. You reforging your golden body is only advantageous for us, and holds no disadvantages! I am merely ‘offering Buddha the borrowed flowers’; let’s not dwell on needless courtesy!” Li Qingming said impatiently with a flick of his sleeves, as a wave of misty Yuqing True Essence fluttered out, wrapping around Ga She’s relic golden core and plunging into the clear and translucent Buddha Transformation Pond.

“Plop!”

Like a stone dropped into a silent lake, faint ripples began to spread across the surface.

The relic golden core of Ga She floated on the lake surface for a while before sinking directly to the bottom of the Buddha Transformation Pond.

The slight ripple did not elicit any response from the lake.

By the Buddha Transformation Pond, Li Qingming saw the water return to calmness and turned his head towards Kasyapa, saying, “While we have the time, tell me about the overall situation of the Endless Buddha Realm and the division of strength. Also, what and where is the Buddha Master Transformation Hall?”

Kasyapa glanced at the calm, waveless pool and said, “Predecessor! The Buddha Master Transformation Hall is the cultivation ground of the Buddha Master, located right in the middle of the Holy Buddha Star at the heart of the Endless Buddha Realm, next to the Venerable Temple!”

“The Venerable Temple, what’s that all about?” Li Qingming interrupted Kasyapa, asking.

“Oh! Predecessor, please bear with me!” Kasyapa showed an apologetic expression and said, “The entire Endless Buddha Realm is divided into three major areas: one is the outer region, and the other is the inner region. For someone of your abilities, predecessor, there’s no need to discuss these.

The real threat to you lies in the core area in the center of the Endless Buddha Realm. The core area is filled with beings of Great Ability, with no fewer than a hundred Quasi-Saints alone. As for the Sub-Saint Realm, I’ve heard that aside from the Buddha, there’s another person, but no one has ever seen him. And these Quasi-Saints are cultivating within the Venerable Temple and only follow the orders of the Buddha Master!”

“Oh, is that how it is! It seems the Endless Buddha Realm is not simple at all!” Li Qingming nodded slightly, pondering for a long moment, then said, “We’re going to need to break into the Buddha Master Star this time. Do you guys have any good ideas?”

“That’s easy to say, just storm in and beat the crap out of them!” Long Xuhu shouted loudly, his eyes twinkling with excitement.

“Bang!”

Li Qingquan knocked hard on the back of Long Xuhu’s head, saying, “You simpleton! It’s always said that four hands can’t contend with a pair of fists. Didn’t you hear that they also have two Sub-Saint Realm Great Ability beings? I’m afraid just by entering the Holy Buddha Star, we’ll be beaten so badly that nothing will be left of us!”

Long Xuhu touched his head feeling wronged, mumbling to himself, “Isn’t Mr. Xiong with us? We just have to kill those Quasi-Saints, and leave the Sub-Saints to him…”

“That… predecessor, if you truly wish to break into the Holy Buddha Star, perhaps I have a way that can help you!” Anan, who had been quiet up until then, seeing that Li Qingming and the others were all frowning, spoke up, inspired by Li Qingming’s earlier words.

“What’s the method?” asked Li Qingming.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a dragon roar pierced through the Nine Heavens, and a hundred-zhang-long Water Dragon appeared midair, coiling under the Cangqiong, surveying all directions.

It was an incredibly shocking sight, the Water Dragon was very dynamic, as if alive, with its scale armor clear and transparent, perfectly outlining its body. A pair of coral horns, several zhang in length, dazzled under the light of the Great Sun, incomparable in their brilliance.

“What the hell is going on now?” Li Qingming was shocked, staring intently at the giant dragon.

“Rumble!”

For some reason, the two closely fitted stone walls directly in front of the lake suddenly burst open again, and this time a huge cave appeared behind them.

The Water Dragon shook its Dragon Claws and swayed its tail as it entered the cave. The sounds of Dragon Roars emanated from within, shaking one’s soul.

Clouds above churned, and vapors carrying a misty breath flashed intermittently from the cave.

As this breath drifted in all directions, the Land of Buddha Transformation seemed to come to life. Barren sands gradually became thick and fertile, with clusters of flowers and plants abruptly appearing, adorning the land.

When this breath entered everyone’s bodies, they felt as if the fatigue from a night of fierce battle had suddenly flown away.

The shocked Li Qingming then remarked, “This is…”

“The Life Law, it’s the Power of Life Law!” Long Xuhu, so excited he almost tore off his whiskers, said, “Big brother, I want to go into the cave!”

Li Qingming, stroking his smooth chin, asked, “Are you sure?”

“Yes!” Long Xuhu nodded affirmatively.

“Alright, I’ll send you in!” Li Qingming nodded and kicked the newly recovered Long Xuhu in the butt.

“Whoosh!”

The unfortunate Long Xuhu drew a beautiful parabolic arc in midair, diving headfirst into the pitch-black entrance.

“Rumble!”

After Long Xuhu successfully entered the cave, the two boulders closed with a thunderous crash.

However, Li Qingming noticed that the expression on the bald, sack-clothed Amitabha Buddha on the left stone wall, which had previously been deeply distressed, had suddenly turned into a compassionate smile.

It was truly astonishing.

But before the crowd could calm down to reflect on these changes, another anomaly occurred.

The recently calmed Buddha Transformation Pond once again surged with waves. (To be continued.
