Chapter 1193: The Altar Opens

"Buddha? Does Buddha not have desires?" Jingxi's voice suddenly became deep: "If Buddha has no desires, how could a golden body be molded for him? If Buddha has no desires, why is he worshipped by the people in temples?"

"They dwell in temples, yet they never care about the suffering of the world; such a Buddha is not worth believing in."

Liu Lianxin did not speak; she slowly closed her eyes and chanted scriptures softly. Invisibly, the sound of Sanskrit singing emanated from where she was, and the black energy produced by those eighteen giant pillars was, for a time, unable to approach her.

"Fine, you've got guts." Seeing this, Jingxi gritted her teeth and said: "Then let us just wait; I want to see how long you can hold out."

After Jingxi finished speaking, she slowly sat down, closed her eyes, and said nothing.

On the other side, Chen Yu and the others also penetrated deep into the hinterland. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Seal Land, they had not encountered any difficulties along the way, which left the group quite puzzled.

Logically speaking, the path they were taking was extremely dangerous, but their journey had been almost completely unobstructed, which made Chen Yu feel that something was wrong.

Suddenly, the corpse of a giant beast appeared before everyone's eyes, and Bamu hurriedly stepped forward to examine it.

This giant beast was over nine meters long and covered from head to toe in hard armor; it was also a creature from the Demon realm.

But its neck had been slashed open by a sword mark, and its head had been almost completely severed.

However, there was a layer of tough flesh and skin connecting the head to the neck, which was the only reason it barely maintained a complete corpse.

"This is a Demon beast of the fourth rank or higher from the Demon realm; it is very strong." Looking at the astonishing giant beast before her, Sanwei could not help but feel a little startled: "This thing must have come through a spatial rift; there shouldn't be few of them here."

"This thing has thick skin and flesh, and its strength is astonishing." Chen Yu walked up and reached out to touch the giant beast's corpse.

He only felt that the touch was incomparably cold and as hard as iron.

"This giant beast's demonic power is not very strong, but its defensive power is astonishing. Even for me, I'm afraid it would take ninety percent of my strength to break through this hard shell." Chen Yu stood up and said: "Therefore, at least one team of Dharma Cultivators with strength not inferior to mine has passed through ahead of us."

"Then wouldn't the road ahead of us be very difficult to walk?" Sanwei was taken aback; the little girl was feeling a bit intimidated.

Since she had known Chen Yu, she had always believed that Chen Yu was the strongest, but now that someone with strength comparable to Chen Yu had appeared, it made her feel uneasy.

"Scared?" Chen Yu glanced at the little girl and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm not scared." Sanwei puffed out her chest; she could not show weakness now.

"Actually, there is no need to worry about anything. This time there are cannon fodder, and naturally, strong people will appear too. Let's go." Chen Yu said indifferently.

After Chen Yu left, Ye Xinyu and Wen Ziming appeared.

Now, Wen Ziming's white robes were stained with spots of fresh blood.

"We have already cleared the obstacles ahead for him. Chen Yu's journey can be said to be unobstructed, but we cannot defeat that old hag at the end; she and the Elder of Heavenly Mandate are considered to be of the same generation." Wen Ziming said.

The old hag he spoke of naturally referred to Jingxi, and in this Cloud Void Realm, the person who was the strongest and had the greatest ambition was, of course, Jingxi.

"We only need to clear the obstacles for him; he can solve other matters himself. Even if he cannot solve them, the Heavenly Dao will favor him." Ye Xinyu said indifferently.

"Then after we go back, how will we answer to the Elder of Heavenly Mandate? His goal is the Horn of the Ghost Clan; only with the Horn can we control the Ghost Clan." Wen Ziming said with some worry.

"There is no need to worry about this." Ye Xinyu smiled slightly: "Just tell him something casually. If he really doesn't believe it, then let him do it himself."

Wen Ziming shut his mouth; in any case, the Elder of Heavenly Mandate trusted Ye Xinyu extremely, so he had nothing to say. Regardless, she would be responsible for whatever happened.

Chen Yu and the others passed through a forest; this place was perhaps the only forest in this area.

It was just that the trees in the forest were withered and yellow, looking very dry. Each tree stood there listlessly, like people with their heads drooping.

And in this forest, there were countless skeletons. These skeletons had been here for who knows how many years, almost turned into bone fragments.

Suddenly, Tianxin's gaze turned toward a skeleton that was nearly weathered; this skeleton was half-leaning against a rock.

And a Dagger was stuck in front of it. Although many years had passed, this Dagger still retained its former luster.

"Dagger, Tianlang?" Tianxin looked at this Dagger in disbelief; she lunged forward and slowly knelt on the ground.

She reached out with trembling hands and slowly touched the Dagger, finally bursting into tears: "Father, I have finally found you."

"This is her father?" Chen Yu asked Bamu, who was to the side.

"Yes, that Dagger cannot be wrong. This is the Dagger Tianlang that our former Sect Leader carried with him. As long as the blade exists, the person exists; if the blade is lost, the person is lost." Bamu's eyes also turned slightly red; he walked up and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Sect Leader, we have come to take you home."

"Dad, I'm taking you home." Tianxin cried for a while, her eyes slightly red. She slowly collected her father's remains, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and picked up the Dagger Tianlang.

"Respectfully welcome the Sect Leader home." Several disciples of the Seven Star Sect bowed in unison and knelt on the ground.

"You can return the way you came now." Chen Yu sighed. The most important thing for Tianxin coming here was to find her father's remains; now that the remains had been found, it was time for her to go back.

"Chen Yu, I want to go inside with you and take a look." Tianxin said: "Although our strength is average, we can still help you at critical moments."

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu looked at Tianxin and smiled slightly: "It is very dangerous inside. Although there are many people, in the end, only a few might remain."

"Since we're already here, let's brave it. I want to know what is inside that makes so many people go to their deaths regardless of everything." Tianxin smiled slightly: "And by the way, fulfill my father's last wish."

"He came here just to reach his goal, but no one knows what it is that he was so determined to get." Tianxin said indifferently.

"What about you all? Are you willing to go along?" Chen Yu looked at the remaining people.

"Everyone in the Seven Star Sect is willing to accompany the Sect Leader, even if it means death, we are willing." Bamu said in a deep voice.

"Willing to accompany the Sect Leader to death." The remaining few shouted at the same time.

The Seven Star Sect was indeed not large, and there were no super-strong people sitting in charge, but their loyalty was something that some treacherous sects could not compare to.
