Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Faced with a wisp of spiritual remnant suddenly surging from the remains of Da Fantian, Jiang Dali did not resist, allowing the spiritual remnant to sense into his mind, and instantly numerous fragmented images appeared in his mind.

In some of these images, the figure of the Fire Qilin appeared, with flames stretching thousands of feet, its entire body releasing poison flames like hundreds of red fire whips lashing out at everything around, turning everything it passed into a sea of fire, afflicting the world and causing countless grievances.

In another scene, numerous experts from the Martial World united to fight against the Fire Qilin, but suffered heavy casualties and were routed... At that time, a stunning arrow shot through the sky, severely injuring the Fire Qilin with a single shot, forcing it back into Lingyun Cave to heal.

The scene shifted, revealing a woman, exhausted and surrounded by countless experts from the Martial World, forced to flee into Lingyun Cave... In her dying moments, in a daze, she dreamt of the Great Buddha weeping with compassion, illuminating her spirit with Buddha’s light, and dreamt of a Skyward Celestial Maiden, enigmatic and unpredictable, suddenly opening her arms and embracing her. A segment of obscure and ancient text echoed in her mind...

"There are ten divine beings, named Nuwa’s intestines, transformed into gods, dwelling in Li Guang’s Field, dwelling there horizontally. Also stated: ’Nuwa, an ancient goddess-king, with a human face and a snake body, transforms seventy times in a day, her abdomen transforms into this god.’

Jiang Dali was greatly shocked.

In the instant of the Great Buddha’s solemn and dignified face appearing in his mind, he even had a feeling of spiritual shock as if the Buddha had manifested, almost causing a mental lapse, unable to resist wanting to bow in worship.

Then the image of the Celestial Maiden soaring in the sky also engraved itself like a magnificent display of fireworks deep within his spirit, unforgettable at first sight.

"Are these... Tathagata? Nuwa?"

"No... It is the manifestation of Qi Fortune, directly reflecting the divine apparition in one’s spiritual depths! Like the miracle of Buddha’s light!"

Jiang Dali took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly, gradually awakening from the majestic and overwhelming images, yet his heart was still pounding.

The dusty air in the cave mixed with the icy cold aura from Da Fantian’s remains hit him in the face, causing him to frown as he gazed at Da Fantian’s remains, then closed his eyes to sense the surrounding passage with Qi Mechanism. In his perception, it was quite ordinary, no longer as divine as the images that had just stormed his mind.

"Was that just now a dream Da Fantian had in his dying moments of confusion, or did the Buddha truly manifest, and the miracle reappear?"

"Or... is sincerity naturally spiritual? Is it because I don’t believe in the Buddha and Nuwa that I can’t sense the Qi Fortune belonging to them?"

For a moment, Jiang Dali couldn’t quite sort out his thoughts.

But in his subconscious, he did not believe that mythical figures like the Buddha and Nuwa truly existed.

Even if they existed, given the twisted and eerie nature of this world and the elusive yet powerful power of Qi Fortune, it’s very possible they too were gradually formed from the Qi Fortune of Humanity, condensed from the power of faith after countless ages of people believing and worshiping, existing between reality and nonexistence, not truly living entities.

However, this absurd and bizarre discovery made Jiang Dali’s thoughts disperse, boldly conjecturing, giving him faintly more absurd guesses about the origin of Lingyun Cave.

He memorized the text about ’Nuwa’s intestines’, noted the location of Da Fantian’s remains, and then harnessed Earth Intent, continuing to head towards the next passage of interest in Lingyun Cave.

...

The entire day after.

Jiang Dali successively explored several areas within Lingyun Cave, discovering the remains of the first Hero King from the Heroic Prince Mansion of the past.

This individual was a powerful figure of the same generation as Nie Renwang’s ancestor, Nie Ying, who once participated in the battle against the Fire Qilin, yet in the end, like Nie Ying, met his end in Lingyun Cave, although the remains of his son, the second generation Hero King, seemed to be well protected by the divine Ice Soul.

Besides the Hero King, he also discovered the Ten Strong Martial Arts—Xuanwu True Skill left by Wu Wudi, one of the Ten Strongest Martial Artists who once defeated Shakyamuni, within Lingyun Cave.

However, earlier in the Twisted Land in the Sky, Jiang Dali had already seen the corpse of Wu Wudi, reduced to a Twisted, so seeing the Qilin Mural recording his lifetime secret techniques now didn’t excite him.

Although Xuanwu True Skill is powerful, it wasn’t worth expending too much effort to delve into for him now.

But through the remnants and a familiar aura left in the stone cave, he unexpectedly discovered that Nanlin Sword Leader Duan Shuai, whom he had previously incapacitated, had actually been here.

It’s quite likely that Duan Shuai comprehended Wu Wudi’s secret techniques from the Qilin Mural, and then left Lingyun Cave, so there might be a chance for him to break through to the Returning to Truth Realm, catching up to Nie Renwang, his lifelong rival...

"Lingyun Cave has been mostly explored, now there’s only the familiar area near Leshan Giant Buddha left to visit... Besides the message from Da Fantian’s spiritual remnant, there are no traces throughout Lingyun Cave proving who constructed this vast project."

Standing with hands behind his back in the stone cave, Jiang Dali surveyed the interconnected dark passages, shaking his head slightly.

He recalled that Emperor Wenlong of Divine Martial Country still held the map that recorded the extension of Lingyun Cave to the Dragon Vein.

But more detailed regions weren’t recorded on that map.

Clearly, the entire Lingyun Cave was unlikely to have been the work of Divine Martial Country.

He vaguely felt that uncovering the secrets of Lingyun Cave might reveal another great mystery of the world, possibly with records in the Holy Dynasty’s Scripture Pavilion.
