Chapter 1251 It Is More Important to Be Alive
Bei Xuan saw the shock and strangeness in Chen Yang's eyes and couldn't help but let out a wry smile, "True Buddhist dharma cannot be casually disseminated."
"The profound mysteries of Buddhism contained within are the origins of many Buddhist cultivation techniques."
"The Buddha Kingdom is not as simple as you think; it's not just about attracting believers."
Chen Yang slowly nodded. He had to admit this point.
Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism each had their own profound principles and cultivation methods, and their paths were entirely different.
Seeing that Suo Luohal had fully regained consciousness, Chen Yang immediately continued their journey.
Although forcing the pace consumed spiritual energy quickly, fortunately, Chen Yang had prepared elixirs beforehand.
Chen Yang looked at Ruan Dongjun beside him. He knew that Bei Xuan could resist the phenomenon that affected the Dao heart because of Buddhist dharma.
But Ruan Dongjun...
Could Jiang Jiantao's cultivation technique even cultivate the Dao heart?
Seeing Chen Yang looking at him, Ruan Dongjun scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and finally asked.
There was no other way. Half of Ruan Dongjun's inheritance came from Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
Chen Yang had to ensure Ruan Dongjun's safety.
"Ah? I can't explain it clearly, but that thing just now did affect me, but it disappeared very quickly."
"And I feel like it has nothing to do with me..."
As Ruan Dongjun said this, his eyes looked at Chen Yang strangely.
This made Chen Yang even more confused.
That look... was he implying it had something to do with him?
As Chen Yang was thinking, Bei Xuan beside him said in a low voice, "Don't say it, I also feel it has something to do with you."
"The bronze cauldron?"
Bei Xuan had also cultivated within the bronze cauldron before, and though he only had a partial understanding of it.
Later, he heard some speculations from the Three Emperor Buddhas.
It was something intrinsically linked to all humans.
Even the current Three Emperor Buddhas were somewhat influenced by its fortune.
Bei Xuan was human, and his cultivation realm was not as high as the Three Emperor Buddhas, so he would naturally be more affected.
Chen Yang immediately reacted and nodded slowly, "If you put it that way, it's possible!"
Chen Yang's wood attribute power was indeed derived from the bronze cauldron.
It was not impossible for the cauldron to strengthen the Dao heart of those around it.
As the few of them went deeper, the surrounding spiritual energy storm began to draw spiritual energy, causing tangible damage to their bodies.
Ruan Dongjun's injuries increased.
Although they were all minor injuries, Chen Yang realized that if this continued, Ruan Dongjun might not be able to reach the Nascent Soul Tomb.
"You cannot continue to follow us!"
Seeing Ruan Dongjun about to speak, Chen Yang immediately rebuked him, "I let you come with me to improve your cultivation, not to lose your life here!"
"The spiritual energy in the Spiritual Domain is countless times more abundant than in the outside world. Cultivating here is itself a great opportunity."
Along the way, Chen Yang had seen many people cultivating without making any extra preparations.
They would simply find a place and begin to absorb spiritual energy.
Although there were occasional fights over some discovered treasures, those who cultivated peacefully were not disturbed.
After all, those who could cultivate to this level were unwilling to put themselves in a dangerous situation for uncertain gains.
It was better to explore more in the Spiritual Domain during that time.
Bei Xuan, seeing the conflicted expression on Ruan Dongjun's face, reached out and patted his shoulder, smiling, "If the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn!"
"You, kid, are the one I'm most optimistic about. Back then, Jiang Jiantao of the Sword Sect single-handedly blocked the Underworld."
"Although I didn't witness it, I believe you will become as powerful as him."
"And before that, it's important to survive safely."
As Bei Xuan's words fell, Chen Yang snorted and said, "Don't think this has nothing to do with you. Where did the token in his hand come from?"
"Wasn't it given by your Buddhist sect?"
Chen Yang had initially not wanted Ruan Dongjun to come, as he had several ways to help Ruan Dongjun absorb spiritual energy quickly.
"You stay and accompany Ruan Dongjun. With you here, I can also feel more at ease."
Upon hearing this, Bei Xuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What did this have to do with him!
This was clearly arranged by the Three Emperor Buddhas!
Bei Xuan quickly waved his hands, anxiously saying, "You can't say such things carelessly, it has nothing to do with me!"
"I will not stay, whether it's for the Buddhist treasures in Saint Moon Divine Venerable's hands or to investigate the Nascent Soul Tomb..."
As Bei Xuan was speaking halfway, Suo Luohal, who had been silent all along, said with a wry smile, "How about I stay?"
Seeing everyone's eyes turn to him, Suo Luohal blushed and rolled up his sleeves.
Although Suo Luohal's injuries were much better than Ruan Dongjun's, the barbarians' greatest strength was their physique!
This meant that Suo Luohal was currently suffering more severe damage than Ruan Dongjun.
"I finally understand why the leader said he would never come to this damned place again!"
"The spiritual energy storms here are simply the natural enemies of the barbarians!"
If ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of Core Formation could still persevere, then barbarians at the Core Formation realm would need at least the eighth level to continue.
It was only because Bei Xuan's kasaya had been protecting him that Suo Luohal felt he could have come this far.
From a while ago, Suo Luohal had been thinking about how to speak up.
Now was a good opportunity!
Chen Yang immediately took out a few recovery elixirs and handed them to Suo Luohal, "Then I'll leave Ruan Dongjun to you."
"Don't be stingy with elixirs. It's more important to be alive than anything else!"
Chen Yang specifically cautioned Suo Luohal because these barbarians were incredibly resolute.
Unless it was a life-or-death situation, they would truly be reluctant to use elixirs.
Even Le Jinlutu was like that!
Watching Chen Yang and Bei Xuan's retreating backs, Suo Luohal endured the pain and asked, "Are we finding a place to absorb spiritual energy, or looking for more ancient ruins?"
...
The blade-like storm brushed across Chen Yang's face. Although it left no bloodstains, the physical pain and the tearing of spiritual energy made Chen Yang extremely uncomfortable.
However, looking at the figure in the spiritual energy storm ahead, Chen Yang gritted his teeth and said to Bei Xuan beside him, "We're almost there! Just hold on a bit longer!"
Bei Xuan shivered. He had long since lost the潇洒 (xiāosǎ - casual, elegant demeanor) he had at the beginning.
Instead, he curled up inside his kasaya, trembling.
Yet, even so, Bei Xuan could feel the terrifying force of the spiritual energy storm penetrating the kasaya.
"The phenomenon just now came from this direction. Could it really be the omen of the Nascent Soul Tomb? The omen has disappeared... have those peak Core Formation experts already entered?" Bei Xuan's voice trembled, and his heart felt cold.
Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, he suddenly heard a terrifying scream coming from the front.
