My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 701: Chapter 191: Abandon Oneself, Devote to Buddha?? (Seeking Subscriptions)

Cheng Guang pondered within his heart and glanced at the great hall for a moment before breaking into a slight smile. He had no intention of approaching but instead turned around.

With an indifferent demeanor, he began to walk towards the exit.

Cheng Guang planned to leave.

However, the great hall seemed to become restless.

It trembled faintly.

Soon after, a low and hoarse voice emanated from within the hall, floating into Cheng Guang’s ears like the sound of the wind.

...

“Amitabha Buddha.”

“Benefactor, please halt.”

This deep and hoarse voice reached Cheng Guang’s ears,

Causing Cheng Guang’s steps to falter and his eyes to widen slightly.

Cheng Guang felt as though his entire body was being held by an insubstantial force,

Preventing him from taking another step forward.

If Cheng Guang chose to exert himself, he could break free from this force.

And it was precisely when Cheng Guang sought to use his strength to liberate himself from this force—

The Saint Dao Fruit within Cheng Guang’s Primordial Spirit gently pulsated.

At this moment, Cheng Guang had already completely integrated with the Saint Dao Fruit.

After completely absorbing the Saint Dao Fruit, the insights conveyed by Tang Sanzang’s Saint Dao Fruit could be clearly perceived by Cheng Guang.

Receiving the intentions conveyed by the Saint Dao Fruit, Cheng Guang’s eyes first widened slightly, then narrowed a few times.

He turned slowly to look at the great hall in the central position of Huashan Sword Sect.

The message that the Saint Dao Fruit conveyed to Cheng Guang was quite simple.

It was that this Buddha, he knew it!

Or rather,

This Buddha, Tang Sanzang himself knew.

Furthermore,

It wasn’t as Cheng Guang had thought—inside the Huashan Sword Sect, this Buddha was not fully awakened.

He was only half-awakened.

His cultivational power was slightly stronger than the Buddha Head Statue within the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave, as the latter had been suppressed by the Dragon Clan for countless years.

If left unattended,

It’s feared it could reach the same level as the Buddha here in Huashan Sword Sect.

The message from the Saint Dao Fruit conveyed to Cheng Guang

Was that as long as the Buddha was not fully awakened, the Saint Dao Fruit could completely crush it.

Once Cheng Guang knew this, he instantly felt confident in his heart.

An unawakened Buddha, no matter how formidable, is restrained.

The means to annihilate the entire Huashan Sword Sect would not be something that an unawakened Buddha could easily utilize.

Although Cheng Guang didn’t know why the Buddha intended to annihilate Huashan Sword Sect, he imagined that using such a method once would make it not so easy to use a second time.

Cheng Guang smiled and shook his head, “I originally didn’t want to fuss any further, but now it seems like Heaven is serving food right to my lips.”

“If I don’t open my mouth, wouldn’t I be letting down Heaven’s kindness?”

He continued, “You, why show your face for no reason?”

“How much better it would be to stay hidden properly.”

Saying this, Cheng Guang made his way to the great hall amidst the ruins of Huashan Sword Sect with deliberate steps.

The closer he got to the great hall, the more Cheng Guang could feel the imposing pressure emanating from within.

This pressure was not like a suppression of one’s cultivation, heavy as if ten thousand mountains were bearing down upon one’s shoulders, forcing the body to bend and kneel in submission.

Rather, it was a force acting on the spirit, that could make one willingly submit.

Under the influence of this power, Cheng Guang himself felt somewhat lost.

But, after the Saint Dao Fruit within his Primordial Spirit flickered with a few flashes of golden light,

Cheng Guang found that the influence on his spirit had entirely vanished.

Facing the great hall once more, he could hardly feel any pressure.

Cheng Guang arrived at the entrance of the great hall, observed for a while, and without much hesitation, his hand slightly raised, touched the heavy wooden door and slowly pushed it open.

Creak—

The heavy wooden door opened.

As if it hadn’t been visited in a long time, thick dust had accumulated on the floor and the door.

When Cheng Guang pushed open the heavy doors of the hall, he stirred up a large amount of dust that fell scattered through the air.

Cheng Guang frowned slightly, waved his hand in front of himself to dissipate the dust drifting before him, and then looked towards the depths of the great hall.

Inside the hall, wooden pillars coiled by dragons, dark red and torn curtains hung in corners, and in the center of the hall, there was a Buddha statue in darkness, indistinct and blurry to the eye.

In the middle of the hall, the ceiling seemed to have been ruptured from inside out, and a ray of sunlight shone through the hole in the roof, brightening up the eerie-looking and, quite frankly, somewhat sinister hall to appear somewhat sunnier.

After casting his glance around, Cheng Guang’s eyes settled on the Buddha Head Statue.

This Buddha Head Statue, compared to those in the Eight-layered Devil Realm and the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave, was evidently larger.

The Buddha Head Statue buried within the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave was already colossal.

Although the actual body of the Buddha inside the statue was very small, the statue itself was outrageously huge.

The entire Sword Handle Mountain was actually the body of the Buddha Head Statue.

As for this great hall,

It straightforwardly housed the entire Buddha Head Statue.

Looking up at the Buddha Head Statue from below,

Cheng Guang felt as if he was gazing upon a tall mountain.

At this time, Cheng Guang could also understand why the great hall was so expansive.
