Chapter 2936

In order to finish the battle quickly, Ye Chen did not open the wooden box immediately.

He just scanned it with spiritual energy and immediately felt the two things placed inside.

One was a thick book. Ye Chen guessed that this should be the photocopy of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra";

The other was a metal object similar to a pagoda.

Having confirmed that there was no problem with the items, Ye Chen subconsciously wanted to withdraw his divine sense and hurry away from the Zhou family manor with the items.

However, the moment Ye Chen's spiritual energy swept across the pagoda, the pagoda seemed to perceive his existence. Immediately after, Ye Chen felt his spiritual energy being forcibly attracted by the pagoda without any warning.

What surprised him even more was that because the bit of spiritual energy he used was manipulated by divine sense, it was equivalent to an invisible extension of divine sense. So the moment the spiritual energy was sucked away by the pagoda, it even forcibly took away a wisp of divine sense from his spiritual sea!

At this moment, Ye Chen felt that the world in front of him was like chaos. Everything he saw was gray, but there was a hazy light directly in front of him. And in this chaos, there was nothing, just like a gray fog, with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Immediately after, Ye Chen felt a loud rumbling sound in front of him, and even the ground was shaking constantly. Just when he was at a loss, the earth suddenly split into several cracks, and dazzling golden light burst out from the cracks.

At this moment, the world around Ye Chen was shaking, and what made him unbelievable was that a golden four-sided pagoda actually broke through the ground from the cracks.

This golden pagoda was glowing with golden light all over. As more of it was exposed above the ground, the golden light became more dazzling. Ye Chen started from looking down at the spire, watching the pagoda get higher and higher, even so high that standing at the foot of the pagoda and looking up, the spire could no longer be seen.

This four-sided pagoda was majestic and awe-inspiring.

Just when Ye Chen was surprised, the two golden doors of the pagoda opened from the inside out. The place where the doors opened was dazzling with golden light, and it was impossible to see what was inside at all.

Ye Chen couldn't distinguish whether he was intentional or unintentional, his legs had already begun to step towards the door uncontrollably.

The closer he got to the pagoda door, the more dazzling the golden light became. Ye Chen only felt that the strong light in front of him was even more intense than looking directly at the sun at noon. But he never expected that when he truly walked into the pagoda, the golden light in front of him stopped abruptly.

His eyes went black instantly, and immediately after, he saw thousands of monks chanting scriptures on an open ground, and directly in front of them was a bustling construction site, where countless ancient craftsmen were building a four-sided pagoda. The leading monk was sitting on a wooden high platform, wearing a golden cassock.

Ye Chen saw this four-sided pagoda, it looked somewhat familiar, and somewhat unfamiliar, and he always had a feeling of having seen it before, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

And at this time, the scene in front of him suddenly left this construction site quickly, sweeping over the imperial city.

Ye Chen "looked down" at this city, combined with the history he had learned and the historical data he had read, he suddenly realized.

The city in front of him was actually Chang'an of the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago!

It was also at this moment that he finally understood that the four-sided pagoda he saw just now should be the famous scenic spot of Chang'an today, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

And what he saw was the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda while it was being built!

The reason why it looked somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar was probably because the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda had been rebuilt several times after it was built, and its appearance, characteristics, and even the number of floors of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda itself had changed greatly.

Moreover, the multiple reconstructions of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda were things that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago. People only saw the appearance of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda after five major reconstructions and passed down to this day. No one knew what it looked like initially, so Ye Chen had that feeling of having seen it before but not daring to confirm it.

Ye Chen couldn't help but mutter, "In that case, the high monk I saw just now is the famous Tang Seng, Tang Xuanzang?"

Just as he was thinking this, the scene had already swept past the prosperous Chang'an City and arrived at a Taoist temple on a green mountain south of Chang'an City.

From the terrain, Ye Chen recognized that this place was the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and the three large characters "Zongsheng Temple" on the gate of the Taoist temple made him immediately recognize that this place was the Taoist holy land known as the number one blessed land in the world, Louguantai.

Louguantai is the birthplace of Taoism and is also the place where Laozi, the founder of Taoism, is said to have lectured and preached. In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was pursued by Li Yuan, who named this place Zongsheng Temple.

In the scene at this time, a group of Taoist priests wearing green shirts, long hair, hair buns, and thin bones were collectively sitting cross-legged on a platform of Zongsheng Temple, performing uniform hand seals in the void, very pious and focused.

Ye Chen saw at a glance that without exception, they were all cultivators who had mastered spiritual energy, and every hand seal they made contained surging spiritual energy, as if they were working together to complete some kind of huge formation.

What is even more magical is that in front of these Taoist priests, a four-sided treasure pagoda made of pure gold was suspended in mid-air and slowly rotating.

This four-sided treasure pagoda was exactly the one contained in the wooden box just now!

The hand seals made by these Taoist priests all entered the treasure pagoda without exception. As they continued to bless it with spiritual energy and formations, the four-sided treasure pagoda also shone with golden light, reflecting each other with the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda dozens of miles away!

At this time, the leading Taoist priest said, "After we complete the formation of this treasure pagoda and Master Xuanzang builds the pagoda and blesses it, the two will complement each other, which can ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for eight hundred years! My fellow disciples have spent their lifelong cultivation for this, which can be considered as having done their best for the people of our Tang Dynasty!"

The group of Taoist priests had extremely pious expressions and said in unison, "We only wish for the Tang Dynasty's mountains and rivers to be solid forever, the national fortune to be prosperous, and the people to be healthy!"

Ye Chen was even more horrified in his heart.

He didn't expect that the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda was built by these enlightened cultivators working together.

He didn't expect that the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda built and blessed by these Taoist priests and the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda built under the direction of Master Xuanzang were actually complementary national heavy weapons that protected the Tang Dynasty's mountains and rivers!

However, he couldn't help but secretly think, "Since these two large and small objects are magic weapons created by high monks and high Taoists with their heart's blood, why didn't the Tang Dynasty flourish for eight hundred years as the Taoist priest said? Even, the lifespan of the Tang Dynasty was less than three hundred years."

Just when Ye Chen was surprised in his heart, he suddenly thought that he didn't recognize the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda the first time just now because the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda had been rebuilt several times later. It is said that the Tang Dynasty alone had changed three versions. Could it be that the changes destroyed the Feng Shui layout jointly built by the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and the Four Directions Treasure Pagoda?

In doubt, Ye Chen felt that the scene in front of him was gradually fading away like the tide when the tide recedes, and his divine sense gradually retreated back into the pagoda that rose from the ground.

But the pagoda did not retain his divine sense. It pushed his wisp of divine sense out of the door, and then closed the door tightly. The whole pagoda collapsed back into the ground bit by bit, and everything around it returned to the initial chaos!

And Ye Chen did not notice that the moment the pagoda collapsed back into the ground, it also left a wisp of divine sense, and this wisp of divine sense actually merged directly into Ye Chen's wisp of divine sense, and without his complete knowledge, it merged with his divine sense...
