Chapter 118: The Buddha

In the Dungeon world, opening a barrier might absorb divine power and still takes a long time, but it's different once he returns to the main world.

Leaning on the true land of the Six Paths Reincarnation, Mu Yi absorbed the Wealth Goddess's poverty curse in hardly any time.

Zongwang Prompt: You have gained 1 Divine Point!

Mu Yi didn't expect an extra gain; glancing at the Zongwang panel, his total Divine Points are now 3. According to forum legend, exceeding 10 Divine Points grants weak Divinity, which raises all attributes by 1—a rare way to boost stats.

For apprentices like Mu Yi this is commonplace, but for beings above Legend it is one of the few ways to directly raise their base power.

Mu Yi didn't think twice; this stuff is hard to come by, and gathering it isn't easy.

Do you wish to exchange at the Kingdom Treasury!

Yes!

Among the myriad exchange options, Mu Yi spotted something interesting.

Large Open World: Silver Moon Empire Treasury Pass (1/1)

If Mu Yi remembers correctly, the Silver Moon in the Dungeon was only a Kingdom, and now it has become an Empire?

Kingdoms and Empires sound similar, but the difference is vast—unless the names are just random.

An Empire can crush many Kingdoms, or rather, an Empire becomes an Empire by crushing many Kingdoms.

Mu Yi decisively exchanged; he still harbors thoughts of the Wealth Temple, having thought it rare to encounter again in the Multiverse, yet he quickly gets a chance to go to the real world where the Dungeon lies.

However, it seems a great deal of time has passed—long enough for the Kingdom to become an Empire, and it's uncertain whether the City of Wealth still exists.

A somewhat aged, tattered pass fell into Mu Yi's inventory; focusing his mind on the old pass, a dialog box popped up.

Do you wish to use the Large Open World: Silver Moon Empire Treasury Pass (1/1)?

Yes!

The Silver Moon Empire Treasury Pass (1/1) has been consumed, transporting the character to the Empire Treasury…

The unprecedented dizziness made Mu Yi even feel a shift in the flow of time, showing just how far this world is from the main world.

When Mu Yi regained consciousness, a silver-armored general stood before him, eyeing him curiously.

Welcome to the Silver Moon Empire!

May the Silver Moon Goddess protect you!

The silver-armored general spoke with a sharp, firm voice, and Mu Yi then realized the figure before him was a female general.

One pass, one chance to choose; greed will cause you to lose this precious opportunity.

Your pass only permits activity on the first level; do not cross the boundary.

You have a one‑month timer; make your choice before the Silver Moon fades.

The moment you hold this, don't try to be clever; it will only bring you regret!

The silver-armored female general handed Mu Yi a moon‑shaped timer, its lunar glow steadily fading.

Mu Yi took the timer and saw the general's hand—pale to the point of death, devoid of any color.

Mu Yi only then realized the female general was not a real person but an alchemical automaton; for guarding a treasury, entrusting an automaton is clearly more reassuring than a human.

Moreover, the female general's human likeness is extremely high, likely crafted with special techniques, perhaps even using a real soul?

Leaving the Silver Moon Treasury countdown: 1 hour 59 minutes.

The general cleared the path; a hidden door behind her opened automatically, silver light shrouding it, obscuring the interior.

Mu Yi held the timer and stepped inside.

Though he had many questions, first he needed to get the treasure in hand.

As he entered, Mu Yi felt a slight dizziness; he had undergone a spatial teleport.

The shift was uncanny; everything around was bathed in silver light, making the spatial transformation hard to notice.

However, Mu Yi bore a Reincarnation Barrier, his perception at 22 points, allowing him to sense such subtle changes and be more susceptible.

He found himself in a corridor whose walls were engraved with the Silver Moon and murals, the lunar glow emitting an odd radiance that illuminated the space.

From these glows, Mu Yi could perceive the stagnation of time and space; they seemed to serve more than mere illumination.

As Mu Yi took his first step, countless gazes stared; the creatures on the side murals seemed to come alive, but after sensing the object in his hand, they calmed again.

Nevertheless, Mu Yi still felt the faint surveillance, likely the treasury's guards.

Mu Yi clicked his tongue in amazement, remarking that the Empire Treasury's sheer rigor would probably prevent even a Legend‑level thief from escaping unscathed.

After Mu Yi passed through the corridor, a massive chamber unfolded before him.

Countless items were displayed on shelves, resembling a three‑dimensional library Mu Yi had visited; the shelves occupied almost all space, making traversal feel like navigating a maze.

The shelves held a variety of objects, each accompanied by detailed descriptions beneath.

Not only weapons and gear, but also books, scrolls, talismans, and Mu Yi even spotted a skull.

Mu Yi approached the nearest shelf, inspecting the items; a finely crafted gem dagger caught his eye.

Radiant Gem Dagger

Item Level: 10

Quality: Purple

Type: Dagger

Special Effects:

Gem Blade: Consumes gems to provide power; the weapon becomes enveloped by special energy, and when an enemy is struck, the gem's attached effect activates.

Red Gem: Adds explosive fire damage on hit, applying a high‑temperature buff that reduces the enemy's fire resistance and deals ongoing fire damage.

Blue Gem: Adds chilling ice damage on hit, applying a low‑temperature buff that reduces the enemy's ice resistance and deals ongoing ice damage.

Yellow Gem: Grants a 5% base chance to petrify on attack; the effect can be purified, dispelled, or devoured, and each attack raises the base chance by 5%.

Other gems produce no special effects, but they lengthen the dagger and increase its sharpness.

Entry Description:

1、Gem Assassin-Karadel in Silver Moon Year 145 assassinated the Silver Moon King, was killed on the spot by the Silver Moon King, and the weapon was confiscated by the Silver Moon Treasury.

2、In Silver Moon Year 147, the weapon was taken out by the Silver Moon Princess to participate in the Trial.

3、In Silver Moon Year 148, the Silver Moon Princess returned it to the treasury.

…………

Looks like the Silver Moon Kingdom has crossed swords with the Wealth Church!

Something as conspicuous as a Gem Assassin could probably only be cultivated by the Wealth Church.

I just don't know what year it is now.

Mu Yi looked at the other items on the rack; this dagger was merely the most conspicuous piece of equipment on this rack, but that doesn't mean it's the best.

In fact, there are many other pieces of equipment on the rack with the same quality as this dagger, and their special effects are also excellent, offering a higher cost-performance ratio than the dagger.

However, Mu Yi had some doubts; it seemed to be only around Level 10 stuff, but thinking about it, low-level items couldn't get into the treasury, and high-level items wouldn't be mixed with these.

Probably the first layer consists entirely of items of this level and quality.

Mu Yi glanced around; the rack holding the gem dagger was just an inconspicuous one in this enormous space, and there were countless such racks inside.

Mu Yi scratched his head; obviously finding a good treasure within two hours would be difficult.

Mu Yi pondered for a moment, intending to rely on humanity's most ancient method of divination.

Mu Yi set the formation knife upright on the ground, then rotated it, letting it fall to the ground under the effects of rotation and neutrality.

Looking at the direction the blade tip pointed, Mu Yi stroked his chin and chose to believe the divination result.

"Then it's decided, it's you!"

Mu Yi sprinted all the way in the direction the blade tip pointed, examining each item on the rack; the more he looked, the more startled he became.

Trying to gather everything as an entire empire is truly terrifying; with just one's own strength it's impossible to collect so much, which prompted Mu Yi to think about finding helpers and establishing a force.

If we could form a battle group to help him collect Transcendent weapons and items, wouldn't that greatly increase the speed of feeding the Heavenly Dao?

Having experienced the benefits of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Mu Yi clearly understood that this might be a road to heaven.

However, wanting to traverse this road smoothly is probably not that easy.

Mu Yi passed through the rack like a labyrinth, and a row of brand-new racks appeared before him.

If the previous one was a cargo rack, then what now appears before him is a bookshelf: a neat row of racks filled to the brim with books appeared before Mu Yi.

What surprised Mu Yi was that there was a young maiden in simple clothing browsing books in this place.

Hearing the sound of Mu Yi's arrival, the maiden tilted her head, gazing at Mu Yi with eyes as red as rubies, seeming somewhat curious; her silver long hair further accentuated her cool demeanor.

When Mu Yi and the maiden locked eyes, Mu Yi felt a scrutinizing gaze focus on him, some even emitting a hostility like needle pricks.

Frowning, Mu Yi did not greet the maiden but continued exploring in the fixed direction as if he hadn't seen her.

Suddenly, Mu Yi stopped his steps.

His childish divination actually led him to find something good.

According to the recorded information, the parchment scrolls and papers placed on these racks record some secret matters, containing scattered secret technique inheritances.

Most of these were obtained by the Silver Moon Empire through collection and seizure; they don't mesh well with the empire's current combat system, so some of the parchment scrolls even have a special sheen of magical arts.

Like Mu Yi's previously obtained《Record of Effect New Book》, these can be quickly mastered by readers just by flipping through them, belonging to a kind of inheritance item.

The power formed by the special techniques on these books will be exhausted, making them no different from ordinary books, though the recorded content still retains value.

Just as flipping through Mu Yi's《Record of Effect New Book》can bring new insights, this type of inheritance item possesses powerful effects.

Among a pile of scattered books, Mu Yi found one whose distinctive appearance easily revealed a strong Jiuzhou Buddhist Sect style.

"Buddhist Scripture of the Strong Man Moving Mountains", the cover bore several large characters.

Recorded explanation:

1、In Silver Moon Year 137, a bald monk spread heretical rumors, preaching foreign deity beliefs, was executed by the Silver Moon Church, and this book was found among his relics; due to the monk's great power, it was placed in the treasury.

2、In Silver Moon Year 147, the son of Duke Brice took this item from the treasury intending to cultivate it, but his mind was bewitched; he tried to shave his head and become a monk, after which the Silver Moon Church priest treated him, and the next day his father returned it.

3、In Silver Moon Year 148, the Silver Moon Princess took it out, returning it the next day.

4、After appraisal by the Silver Moon Princess, this item is a Buddhist Sect inheritance tool from a major power in the Multiverse's Spirit Mountain; only those with steadfast minds can inherit from it, otherwise it will affect the mind.

Mu Yi stroked his chin; it seems he really has some fated connection with the Buddhist Sect—maybe someday he'll be converted and become a guardian deity?

No way, he still wants to enjoy a great life; Buddhist precepts and such, he really can't stomach them.

However, looking at the recorded information, the Silver Moon Princess seems also to be a player selected by Zongwang; it's unclear whether she's a first-generation player, but the rise of the Silver Moon Kingdom feels inseparable from Zongwang.

Mu Yi focused his consciousness on the《Buddhist Scripture of the Strong Man Moving Mountains》, and instantly a line of Zongwang information refreshed on his retina:

"Buddhist Scripture of the Strong Man Moving Mountains"

Item Type: Inheritance Item

Maximum Learners: 1/5

Description:

This is a Buddhist Zen book recording how to comprehend the divine power of moving mountains and overturning seas; after use, one can grasp the ability to strengthen the physique: 【Ten Powers of the Tathagata】.

ps: Even if I possess the power to move mountains and overturn seas, I still cannot budge your heart's gate…… rosy skulls, white bones and flesh, all are illusory! — Venerable Fahu of Golden Mountain Arhat.

Did he become a monk because he was rejected?

It must be said, this is a sad story.

Just as Mu Yi was about to reach out and pick up the《Buddhist Scripture of the Strong Man Moving Mountains》,

"I think you need to consider more carefully; when you use it, you'll hear the Buddha's tone engraved deep in your mind. You should be a Zongwang Player, you should have heard of the Jiuzhou Buddhist Sect's story—this is not a good choice!"

An ethereal voice came from behind Mu Yi.

"Thank you for your advice; I come from Jiuzhou and I fully understand its meaning!" Mu Yi could sense the other's goodwill, so he turned his head, smiled, and replied.
