Chapter 2500 - 2498: Each Has Their Own Cave Heaven (Part 2)
The Bald Dog lazily lay on the ground, ready to take a nice nap.
At that moment, a giant lion fell with a thud and landed heavily on top of it.
It and the lion both screamed in pain, and it yelled, "Who’s ambushing the Dog Master here?"
The lion groaned, "It’s not my fault, my master brought me here."
It jumped up and transformed into a human shape with a lion’s head.
The Bald Dog jumped up and saw that it was the Golden Lion Celestial Venerable.
The Ground Rat Demon King said, "Could this cave mansion be related to the lion? In the Sect of Severance, a lion of such cultivation level must be Qiu Shouxian!"
"Qiu Shouxian?"
The Nine-Headed Lion Venerable suddenly shouted, "That’s my ancestor!"
The Bald Dog’s eyes darted around, "There’s definitely treasure here. Qiu Shouxian was once a direct disciple of the Sage of the Sect of Severance."
It sat up and immediately became much more serious.
The Ground Rat Demon King closed his eyes and said repeatedly, "Hurry and comprehend, whoever gets the opportunity is theirs."
"My ancestor will surely give me the opportunity!"
The Nine-Headed Celestial Venerable excitedly sat down and closed his eyes to comprehend the techniques of this cave mansion.
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya had already walked around the two adjacent cave mansions, both containing formations.
Inheriting the lineage of the Tai Chi Formation, it was the Yin-Yang Formation, Four Symbols Formation.
The Yin-Yang Formation was set up by Spirit Tooth Fairy, and the Four Symbols Formation by Golden Light Fairy.
Back in the Immortals Formation, Spirit Tooth Fairy and Golden Light Fairy played significant roles.
Their endings were not too good, as they were converted by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva to become their mounts.
Long Fei took Wang Xiaoya to the last cave mansion, where a small world was also opened.
As soon as they entered, streaks of Mysterious Light shot at them like sharp swords.
The light particles within the Mysterious Light moved at extreme speeds, each capable of piercing a planet.
Transformed into longswords, their power was tremendous.
Long Fei protected Wang Xiaoya, twisting the void with the Lotus Platform of the Chaos Green Lotus, isolating them from the onslaught of the sword light.
Wang Xiaoya exclaimed, "Among the Seven Immortals, perhaps only Ding Guangxian Senior Brother has such craftsmanship!"
Long Fei said, "It is indeed his cave mansion."
He had already deciphered some of the formations within this cave mansion.
The mansion was arrayed with light, filled with deadly traps, showing great insight and depth in Light Force.
Wang Xiaoya said, "No wonder Master valued him the most; he indeed had some skills. Unfortunately, he had ill intentions, betrayed Master, stole the Six Soul Banner, and caused the Immortals Formation to be utterly defeated."
Long Fei comforted her, "The heavens have their fate; one Immortals Formation can’t change much. However, your Ding Guangxian Senior Brother was indeed too shrewd."
Wang Xiaoya whispered, "I heard his original form is a rabbit, naturally timid and fearful; perhaps it’s just his nature."
Long Fei watched Wang Xiaoya, hearing him criticize others for the first time.
Wang Xiaoya felt a bit embarrassed and giggled, "Let’s not talk about him anymore; if he hears it, he might hate me."
Long Fei chuckled, staying a while longer in the cave to comprehend its mysteries before leaving.
The opportunity of this cave mansion, he gave to the Moon Toad Celestial Venerable and Golden Crow Celestial Venerable.
Both of them cultivated Light Force, making this cave mansion perfect for them.
They stood outside the last cave mansion, feeling the overwhelming mana within even before entering.
Wang Xiaoya said, "This cave mansion is the closest to Master’s; it must be my Senior Brother Duo Bao Daoist."
Long Fei said, "I heard that back in the day Duo Bao Daoist dared to challenge the Saints?"
Wang Xiaoya nodded, "Indeed, back then my senior brother set up the Slaying Immortal Formation in place of Master, stabbing the Supreme Saint within, angering the Saint who then used the Wind Fire Futon to whisk him away. Later, the Supreme Saint transformed him into a Buddha, making him the Hierarch of the Western Sect."
"Your senior brother has feelings for the Sect of Severance too."
Long Fei took Wang Xiaoya inside.
This cave mansion also opened up a small world, filled with Primordial Chaos and spiritual energy, lacking solid land.
This was a manifestation of natural Dao, close to the wisdom of a Saint.
At the center of this world, a formation diagram floated.
Aside from it, there was no other Magical Treasure.
Wang Xiaoya murmured, "My senior brother, known as Duo Bao Daoist, was the one who obtained the most treasures from Fenbao Cliff back then. It’s a shame there’s nothing here but this formation diagram."
Long Fei said, "The power of this cave mansion comes from this formation diagram; it isn’t simple."
He and Wang Xiaoya approached, observing only from the edge for fear of entering it.
Wang Xiaoya asked, "If it’s such a good thing, why didn’t my senior brother take it with him?"
Long Fei said, "Some things originally belong to your master; how can disciples take them if they defect?"
"That’s true!"
Wang Xiaoya nodded, observing the formation diagram with Long Fei.
This formation was square, emitting a purple aura of unknown material.
Floating in the sky, ethereal and shapeless.
Within the formation, four positions shifted.
Besides this, there was nothing else.
Apparently simple, yet containing endless variations.
After observing just a while, Wang Xiaoya felt dizzy, as if her spirit fell into the Nine Netherworlds.
Long Fei instructed her, "Wait outside; I’ll go in to comprehend it. It’ll take some time."
Wang Xiaoya grabbed him, concerned, "Are you still going in despite this?"
Long Fei replied, "I have the Chaos Green Lotus to protect me; I’ll be fine, though it will take some time. This object is rare, don’t let it slip away."
Wang Xiaoya frowned but seeing his resolve, she let go of his arm and said, "You go in; I’ll protect you from outside."
"Alright!"
Long Fei nodded and, stepping on the Green Lotus Platform, leaped into the formation.
This formation seemed like a space; as soon as Long Fei entered, he vanished.
It was merely a thin layer, yet it felt like diving into a lake.
Wang Xiaoya silently prayed for her ancestral protection, closing her eyes to guard Long Fei.
In the Posuo Pure Land of the West, the Tathagata Buddha sat on the Lotus Platform, suddenly opened his eyes, calculated with his fingers, and instructed the disciple beside him, "Anan, go to the Jade Isle of Eastern Victory Divine Continent and retrieve an old item of mine."
Anan raised his eyebrows, "Master, the Jade Isle is the territory of a Saint. Wouldn’t visiting it offend him?"
The Tathagata shook his head, "No worries, I’ll explain to the Saint myself. Just take the item and return."
He raised a hand, pointed at Anan’s forehead, and transmitted the technique into Anan’s Divine Sea.
"Disciple accepts the decree!"
Anan clasped his hands in salute, then left the hall heading towards Jade Isle.
Kasyapa, the disciple beside the Tathagata, curiously asked, "Master, after becoming a Buddha, you have no ties with the Sect of Severance. This visit might upset the Saints."
The Tathagata said, "This calamity, our Buddhist Sect bears significant karma. If it means our Buddhist Sect can safely navigate this tribulation, it’s worth clashing with the Saints."
Kasyapa was taken aback, wondering what could be so important, so critical to the fate of the Buddhist Sect?
