117: Chapter 117 Nob intervenes to save lives! An ancient god seeks to step from fantasy into reality!
The group turned their heads in horror, and it was true! On the grey-black stone slab of the ruins, an old monk with a compassionate expression was sitting with his eyes closed in meditation!
His body faintly emitted a golden glow, as if an ancient Buddha had descended into the world, making one unable to help but abandon evil thoughts and convert to Buddhism.
But when they stepped on the rubble of the cliff face and arrived at the temple ruins, they discovered nothing at all!
The old monk had disappeared, there was no sound of chanting scriptures, and everything before seemed like a hallucination born from their tense state of mind.
The group was unwilling to leave just like that.
They began searching through the temple ruins; even if they couldn't find gold or silver treasures, finding a few decent antiques would suffice.
The four bodyguards found nothing, but Ye Tianyu dug out a bronze lamp from under a corner stone slab—and that lamp was the Bronze Tree Lamp!
After some study, Ye Tianyu was shocked to discover that as long as specific Spiritual Plants were placed into the wick and lit, it could temper his own mental Sea of Consciousness and Soul power!
He had originally wanted to conceal this fact, but the four bodyguards had sharp eyes and had also realized the extraordinary nature of the Bronze Tree Lamp.
At first, everyone had their own hidden agendas and did not reveal their thoughts.
As Ye Tianyu Cultivated with the Bronze Tree Lamp, the four bodyguards could no longer keep up the act. Their expressions revealed greed, their eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and this morning, they launched a surprise attack on Ye Tianyu!
Ye Tianyu's Cultivation speed was relatively fast, so the bodyguards couldn't take him down immediately. They remained in a stalemate, fighting for nearly two hours, and the wheel tactics exhausted Ye Tianyu's strength.
"Ye Tianyu, do you think you can threaten us brothers with this?"
The older, bearded bodyguard looked at Ye Tianyu gloomily.
"If you really do that, the four of us will make sure you die from being drained dry in this icy wilderness!"
"Hand over the tree lamp quickly, lest you suffer pain in your backside!"
Ye Tianyu's forehead was bleeding, but he completely refused to yield. "You four traitors can forget about succeeding!"
"Go, I don't believe he really dares to throw the Bronze Tree Lamp off the cliff!"
A bodyguard couldn't wait any longer; he roared and rushed up, brandishing an ice axe.
Clang!
Ye Tianyu used the Bronze Tree Lamp to block it.
Then, using all his strength, he suddenly threw the Bronze Tree Lamp toward the bottomless cliff behind him.
"——How dare you!!!"
The pupils of the four men shrank instantly. They jumped up, wanting to catch it, but it was too late. They could only stare at the spot where the tree lamp had vanished, filled with extreme rage, remaining silent for a long time.
"Creak!"
One bodyguard couldn't hold back anymore; he unbuckled his belt, intending to inflict punishment on Ye Tianyu!
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, an afterimage instantly glided down from the sky.
It kicked up a flurry of sand, stone, and snow, forcing the four bodyguards to squint their eyes and turn around, trying their best to see what it was.
"A big bird?"
"An eagle! What a huge Golden Eagle!!"
Before they had finished exclaiming, they fearfully realized that the Golden Eagle had snatched up the Bronze Tree Lamp falling down the cliff, and its sharp eyes were fixed directly on them.
The next second, its massive wings flapped, and it flew toward them!
"Not good! This Golden Eagle has become a spirit!"
"Run! It's coming to prey on us!"
The bearded bodyguard reacted first, threw away the blood-stained ice axe in his hand, and bolted, without any thought of fighting it.
Puchi—
The faster one ran, the sooner one died.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Eagle flew over, opened its silver-grey steel claws, and crushed the bearded bodyguard's head directly.
Like watermelon juice, blood mixed with bits of flesh splattered onto the faces of the other three.
Only then did they look closely and realize with astonishment that sitting on the back of that massive Golden Eagle was a youth from Southern Xinjiang!
His face was youthful, yet he radiated an exceptionally terrifying aura.
Pu pu pu—
Just as the group wanted to beg for mercy, the Golden Eagle's eyes remained cold, and its claws opened again, crushing the three men's heads in one go!
Thud.
Norbu jumped down from the Golden Eagle's back with a calm expression, took the Bronze Tree Lamp from the Golden Eagle's beak, and turned to walk toward the dying Ye Tianyu below the bluestone.
"...You, you are the youth... from Kamuso Town?"
Seeing Norbu walk over, Ye Tianyu, lying on the blood-stained ground, spoke with a faint, surprised voice, tinged with a hint of uncertainty.
"Yes, our family received your material donations just half a month ago."
Gratitude showed in Norbu's eyes as he placed the Bronze Tree Lamp beside Ye Tianyu.
He took a few extraordinary-looking Spiritual Plants from his cloth bag, crushed them into powder using transcendent spiritual power, and fed them into Ye Tianyu's mouth.
"I remember your name is Norbu? It's been a while, and you've grown to this extent... One should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation."
After taking the herbs and resting for a while, the wounds on Ye Tianyu's body stopped bleeding, his complexion improved, and a hint of long-lost rosiness appeared on his face. He looked at Norbu, marveling endlessly.
"My Physique is somewhat special, so I Cultivate a bit quickly."
Norbu changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, where did you dig up this Bronze Tree Lamp? Can you tell me the specific location?"
"You want to go to that ruined temple?"
"Yes. I feel that place shouldn't be simple at all."
Norbu did not hide anything and revealed his thoughts,
"Great Master Daizong once said that in ancient times, there was a temple in the sacred mountain that worshipped heaven and earth. The Power Of Faith there was dense, and with the great changes in the world, some kind of mysterious transcendent mutation should occur."
——Rumble!!
Just as Ye Tianyu was about to answer, a violent tremor suddenly came from the towering snow-capped mountain in the distance!
For a moment, the ground shook and the mountains swayed; rubble accompanied by an avalanche made people fear it was the terrifying precursor to a major earthquake!
Norbu immediately stood up, looking toward the mountainside of Mount Everest with a grave expression, seemingly having sensed something, and murmured:
"The temple! This is the eve of that temple's transformation!"
Inside Kamuso Town.
A highly respected Great Master, dressed in plain grey robes, was suddenly awakened from his closed-door meditation.
He rushed out of his simple stone house, leaped lightly, and stood on the roof, gazing wisely toward the direction of the Kunlun Mountains.
He was none other than the "Great Master Daizong" Norbu had mentioned.
"The revival of myths—the gods return to their positions!!"
"A new transcendent era has finally begun!"
As his words fell, the Kunlun Mountains, which lay stretched out like a massive Dragon, shook even more violently, seeking to bring fantasy into reality.
...
Far away on Bajiao Peak in Xiangnan.
Suddenly, Jiang Jin opened his eyes from his lazy enjoyment.
His brows knitted slightly as he lay on the reclining chair, looking toward the west.
"Master, what's wrong? Is the pressure not right, is it uncomfortable?"
Zhao Ruohan, lightly made up and exuding Immortal Qi, was wearing a white dress and kneading Jiang Jin's shoulders. Seeing his expression, she thought her technique was not up to par.
"No, I just discovered something interesting."
Jiang Jin shook his head, stood up from the reclining chair, and continued to gaze toward the west with deep eyes.
Zhao Ruohan stepped over the reclining chair, stood on tiptoe to one side, tilted her head, and looked like a curious baby, "Master, what is it?"
Jiang Jin's eyes pierced through layers of space-time, as if he could see the scene of the massive changes occurring in the Kunlun Mountains to the west,
"...Transcendent revival, ancient gods seek to step from fantasy into reality."
"What!?"
Zhao Ruohan covered her mouth, her cheeks full of astonishment, "Aren't gods all fictional beings? Can they really step from fantasy into reality?"
"If that's really the case, won't there be gods and Buddhas filling the heavens, lying high above the Nine Heavens, watching the winds and clouds of the world change with indifference?"
