Chapter 50: Guardian Deity of Tiandu

Under the bathing of the Buddha light, Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat felt that they had been "reborn."

At first, Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat enjoyed it, but slowly, Lin Jing noticed something wrong.

Under this bathing of Buddha light, his mental power was indeed extraordinarily strengthened, but in the dark, he always had an indescribable strange feeling, always feeling that other aspects of himself... had also produced some changes.

However, until Lin Jing opened his eyes, he couldn't explain what this strange feeling was.

Outside.

Elder Mo was paying attention to the changes in the squirrel head icon on the stone tablet.

"Don't keep staring at it. He is a Qi Refining cultivator; even if he can walk through the first floor, he needs a long time to adapt and adjust," the sect ancestor roared at Elder Mo.

"Ancestor, shall we make a bet?!" Elder Mo chuckled, like a playful child. "I bet he will soon pass the first, second, third, fourth, fifth... all the way to the ninth floor!"

The tower-guarding ancestor laughed, "You, have you cultivated until you're stupid? He is a Qi Refining cultivator; can he withstand the demon might of the Nascent Soul level?"

"Back then, a group of us demon kings were shivering under its pressure!!!"

"Ancestor, do you dare to bet!" Elder Mo’s gambling addiction surged. On Lin Jing, this longevity body, he finally bet on a rare beast, and now he trusted Lin Jing's ability very much.

"Bet it is!" Both sides looked at the stone tablet and the reflection of the high tower in the water. Before they could decide on the stakes, "Rumble," the reflection of the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the water seemed to shake a few times, suddenly loosening, as if it would collapse in the next second...

Fortunately, in the end, it did not collapse completely. However, even so, it made Ancestor Wang Batian and Elder Mo’s hearts jump to their throats instantly, giving them a big fright. Ancestor Wang Batian even flew up from the pool in a startle.

Immediately after... Lin Jing’s consciousness body returned from the Buddha tower to his physical body and slowly stood up.

"Ancestor? Elder? What is wrong with you?" He looked at the terrified ancestor and elder.

"What, what happened inside?" Seeing Lin Jing return directly from the first floor, Elder Mo swallowed his saliva and asked.

Lin Jing said with a pained heart, "Elder, I told you, so much time has passed, the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower has indeed loosened!"

"We just entered and encountered a demon trying to escape!"

"What!" Elder Mo and the sect ancestor were shocked.

"Fortunately, that Buddhist High Monk from the rumors left a backup plan, sealing a wisp of his consciousness within the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which successfully suppressed the demon back!"

Elder Mo and the sect ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unfortunately, the Demon-Suppressing Tower still won't last long. According to that High Monk, in a few decades, the effect of the seal may approach zero."

The two changed color again.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Elder Mo then comforted himself, "As long as it is not a sudden situation, it is fine. The Demon-Elimination Division has many capable people. As long as we report to the Demon-Elimination Division in advance, even if the demon breaks the seal, there will be experts to deal with it. Having been sealed for so long, even if it escapes, it must be extremely weak."

"Right, let the people from the Demon-Elimination Division solve it. I won't fight this Undying Demon anyway," Ancestor Wang Batian shook his head.

"Besides this, the disciple also learned an uncertain piece of news."

Immediately after, Lin Jing reported the news of the cave heaven treasure to the sect. The sect Turtle Ancestor and Elder Mo looked at each other and said, "Understood, we will open a sect meeting to discuss it."

"In addition, this Demon-Suppressing Tower doesn't seem suitable for training for the time being. Let's close it for now."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will send you back first." Elder Mo was afraid that Lin Jing would be frightened, so he sent Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat back first.

However, after sending them away, the Turtle Ancestor looked at Elder Mo, "You say, the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower loosened as soon as he went in. Isn't this a bit too coincidental? Could this disciple be some kind of 'Heavenly Fiend Lone Star' body?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Elder Mo said, "This disciple is a longevity body, a physique destined to send off generation after generation of ancestors. A small Qi Refining stage cultivator, what can he do in the Demon-Suppressing Tower? Being able to report everything that happened inside truthfully and calmly is already very capable."

"What, longevity body?!" The Turtle Ancestor was shocked. Doesn't that mean that kid can live longer than it?

Danxia Peak.

Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat sat at the entrance of the cave dwelling, breathing deeply, only feeling that it was better to go to such places less often in the future.

"Speaking of which, how do you feel?"

He asked the Pine-Leaf Rat about the effect of the Buddha light strengthening. Upon hearing this, the Pine-Leaf Rat took out one, two, three... The Pine-Leaf Rat sacrificed more and more red leaves. In an instant, seventy red leaves were already flying in mid-air, filling the sky with red leaves. Such a scene made Lin Jing gasp.

"Next time you encounter a sword cultivator, you can perform the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin'."

You know, before this, with its Qi Refining seventh-layer cultivation, it could control at most fourteen flying leaves, but now, its mental power was actually strong enough to control seventy.

Even if there was something wrong with this Buddha light, they accepted it!

On Lin Jing's side, he also felt that condensing illusion path true qi seemed easier, and constructing purple true qi became more efficient!

"But if I have to say what is strange..."

He pondered, feeling that whether it was Fahai or the Buddha, the images and Buddhist nature of these Buddhist figures were becoming clearer in his mind.

"Could there really be something mixed into this Buddha light?" Lin Jing muttered to himself.

"I must find an expert to give me a physical check-up when I have time."

He shook his head, looked at the Pine-Leaf Rat, and said, "Speaking of which, do you want to try again..."

"Leaping over Tiandu!"

Gengyun Peak.

After Lin Jing and the Pine-Leaf Rat’s minds were strengthened by the Buddha light, they returned here again.

This time, the Pine-Leaf Rat was full of confidence, sacrificed a flying leaf, and rode the leaf up.

This leap... was completely devoid of the previous difficulty. It almost soared straight up, passed through the clouds, and accompanied by intense pressure, quickly reached the highest point, looking toward the top of Tiandu Peak from high altitude.

Before its eyes, it was wide open.

On top of Tiandu Peak, stood a divine pine that seemed to have taken root here since the ancient times.

The trunk of this divine pine was not as rough and tough as ordinary pine trees in the world, but crystal clear, as if carved from the purest green crystal, with faint spiritual light flowing inside, reflecting the unpredictable fairy scenery around it.

On the surface of the trunk, delicate patterns could occasionally be seen flickering; those were the traces of spiritual power flowing, and every pattern contained ancient and powerful power, as if it were its flowing bloodline.

As the Pine-Leaf Rat’s gaze swept over, the golden-green branches and leaves covering more than half of Tiandu Peak swayed.

Mysterious, noble, sublime. The Pine-Leaf Rat stood on the flying leaf, blankly looking at the Tiandu Divine Pine. It didn't expect that there was such a pine tree on top of Tiandu Peak; it had never heard of it and never seen it.

What terrified the Pine-Leaf Rat the most was that this divine pine actually suddenly stretched out its branches and rolled toward it. On top of Tiandu Peak, besides this divine pine, there seemed to be no other living creatures.

This made the Pine-Leaf Rat realize that the guardian deity of the Beast-Taming Sect on Tiandu Peak didn't seem to be a demon beast, but a plant that had become a spirit, a pine tree!

It’s over! It quickly asked Lin Jing for help. After all, since it was born, it had eaten quite a few pine nuts. Who could have thought that the natural enemy of the sect’s guardian deity was actually myself? No wonder no Pine-Leaf Rat had ever jumped up; the ancestors didn't die unjustly! ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
