Looking at Hanxi’s expression, it was filled with hate towards him. Those purple gold eyes looked over regularly with a fierce glow like it wanted to just slay him with one knife.
If he continued to call out to it like that, he would end up being on the receiving end of its attacks.
Zong Shou sighed to himself. It wasn’t as good as his natural protector beast. Compared to his favorite spirit beast Little Gold it was largely worse. Although the saint fire silver ant was good, it couldn’t be ordered around by him.
He was mentally connected to the lightning winged flood dragon and Little Gold. The moment such thoughts rose up, the 2 of them sent back pleading intents, like they were telling him that they were extremely exhausted.
Zong Shou was startled, calming himself down and focusing on the final page of the Vairocana Mandala.
“To prove the great sun(dari) dharma, one needs to first confirm the womb realm and also possess both bodhi and bhava. The knowledge needed to prove this is difference, it is reason, it is learnt, it is self discovery. One also needs the diamond realm…”
“The theory that is proven is wide and covers all laws and practices. It expressions that the dharma realm is limitless, breaking away from the restraints of distress and problems—to be clear and without obstruction, that is the diamond realm mandala.”
“There is no life and no death, a day in a heart of a Buddhist isn’t affected by there being no light or shortened due to that; even when one can prove phenomenons and attain samadhi there is no increase in the day…”
“All laws are like the void, away from obstacles, away from coloration. It is based on true theories. Observing one’s actions to learn from dari rulai, all wishes and desires will come true.”
Zong Shou frowned, this Buddhist scripture was indeed complicated. There were so many technical words that only orthodox Buddhist successors could understand. If it wasn’t for him memorizing close to half of the library he would probably not be able to understand anything.
Even now he only understood half of it.
However, his original intention wasn’t to fully comprehend it. He just wanted to understand a portion to give him huge insights and give rise to many inspirations.
“Womb realm, diamond realm, proving the phenomenons, attaining samadhi, there is no death and no life. So it seems like what I thought about before has a bit of possibility of succeeding…
Zong Shou wasn’t going to cultivate in Buddhism cultivation methods; He was just prepared to borrow some ideas from it. His foundations would still be based on the common people path route.
“Only now I am still lacking a little. I only hope that diamond realm dari rulai mantra is worth 5 thousand merit points…”
He felt an intense grievance strike him. Only then did he smile and keep all the materials that were piled on the spell altar.
Following which he waved his hands and called back all his spirit beasts. Little Gold and the lightning winged flood dragon directly returned into his body,
The rising moon lion didn’t dare to stay together with those 6 flying ants and thus they each hid in one spirit beast bag.
Only Hanxi wasn’t willing to enter the spirit beast bag no matter what. No matter how Zong Shou used his soul to force it, it was unwilling.
Helplessly Zong Shou could only let it do as it wished, letting it stay beside him. Once again he drove the seven-star spell altar to head back.
Who knew if it was because they cleaned the place up too cleanly or because of Hanxi at the back threatening the beasts, but they had no trouble getting back. They didn’t face any attacks from any evil beings.
However, when they reached the intersection of the river path, the purple-gold eyes of Hanxi suddenly looked towards the side.
Following which the 6 pairs of wings flapped as he flew quickly towards the side.
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up and right away he tried to use his soul intent to make it come back. However, it only caused Hanxi’s body to stop in mid-air. Then, a thought transmitted over through its soul.
“There is something I need there?”
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. In his heart, he wasn’t convinced. Sometimes even he himself didn’t know what he needed, so how could this Hanxi know?
Furthermore looking at how it tried to counter-attack and kill its master, it didn’t look like a loyal thing.
Looking at the situation, it seems like there was something there that it badly needed.
Just as he wanted to reject, Hanxi’s eyes were filled with anxiousness, a few more thoughts transmitted over.
“You can sense that there are a few types of spiritual items there? My spell altar has many of such things? It isn’t far away…”
Zong Shou was startled. What this seven-star spell altar used the most was something called cloud metal stone. It was a definite choice when people beneath the celestial path chose to craft spell altars.
Thinking about it for a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
“Forget it, since it is not far away then its no harm going over to take a look.”
What he wanted wasn’t the spiritual materials like cloud metal stone. To obtain such treasures, as long as it is something within the cloud world, he could get anything he wanted with his fortune.
What made him curious was Hanxi’s ability to sense spiritual items from so far away. He wanted to take a look at whether or not Hanxi had such a skill.
Speaking of which, the demon fire crystal ant did have such an ability, finding various mine stones and living beings for food underground.
He smacked the spirit beast bag by his waist and released those 6 8 winged flying ants. Since this saint fire ant queen wanted to go, having them pave the way was natural.
The seven-star spell altar followed another branch and flew downstream. With 7 grade 7 strength saint fire silver ants to protect him, there was no dumb beast or evil demon who would come find trouble with them.
However after an hour passed, Zong Shou realized that he had fallen for Hanxi’s trick.
How was this ‘not far’? A full hour, in the outside world, with the movement speed of his seven-star spell altar, he would have already flown 100 miles.
If they continued forwards it would be the world abyss, that place which was connected to tens of worlds.
Hesitating slightly, Zong Shou still ordered the spell altar to move forwards. Although that place was dangerous, he knew that as long as they didn’t go too deep in, they would be able to escape unharmed. Even without relying on these 7 saint fire silver ants he would still be able to flee.
As expected, a moment later a wide space appeared in front of his eyes. It was a giant piece of the void. Similarly, spiritual energy was like waves, the density was a little thinner than the spirit river.
It was a gap between ten overworlds. Only at this place, it was especially huge, unable to see the end of it. One could see several bright spots, like stars. There were also numerous clouds and mists within, their colors were either pale or bright.
Zong Yuan’s pupils instantly constricted. This was the first time he has witnessed such a magical and extraordinary scene. Zong Shou was slightly distracted, however, most of his attention was on his 5th protector beast.
The first thing that Hanxi did after entering this place was to sweep around and then it dived downwards.
This time it wasn’t far. A giant being the size of a mountain that was floating there. It was 120 thousand feet long like a giant small island that was slowly moving along with the spirit wave.
“This is the corpse of the metal swallowing beast from the cloud desolate era…”
In Zong Shou’s memory, this was a terrifying beast that could be discussed along with another horrific beast the sandworm.
It was said that it swallowed everything, not just metal. Furthermore, its body was huge and extremely tough, like that of elite iron. Although it wasn’t a god beast, when it met god beasts of the same grade, most of them would avoid it.
He was finding it weird, there shouldn’t be something like cloud metal stone here in the space crevice of the world abyss. Looking at the body of the metal swallowing beast, his questions were finally answered. It wasn’t surprising if this beast had swallowed some cloud metal stone when it was still alive.
Hanxi charged nearby and there were hundreds of various types of beasts that surged out.
Most of them were fire element bird types from grade 6 to grade 7. Like they were protesting at Hanxi for trespassing on their territory, roaring out at it.
Hanxi didn’t bother, still charging headfirst in. On that side, it seemed to be the leader of the birds, a grade 7 fire crane. It couldn’t take it anymore and flew over. 3 blazing red fire threads merged in one area as several fire ants charged out. Tens of thousands of fire-colored flying feathers also instantly covered this small space.
Zong Shou shook his head slightly. If that was it, then they weren’t the match for his spirit pet.
As expected the white flames on his 7 flying ants were even brighter. The 7 silver white images shone in the red flames and so quickly 3 of the grade 7 fire cranes were filled with one knife. Their movement speed was so quick, exceeding the limits of Zong Shou’s eyes. He could only see a series of white after images appearing and disappearing.
The moment those 3 fire cranes died, what followed next was a massacre. Tens of fire elemental birds were killed one by one by Hanxi and its descendants. All the grade 7 giant birds had their heads cut off almost instantly.
The other birds finally realized that they were no match of these few flying ants as they scattered in all directions.
Hanxi didn’t care, directly charging into a hole in the corpse of the metal swallowing beast.
Zong Shou drove the seven-star spell altar to charge in behind it. Who knows if this was the digestive system of the beast, anyways it was extremely wide. All around there were all kinds of things. There were mind stones reaching grade 8, metal lighting stone used to create lighting element weapons, and naturally, there was a large amount of cloud metal stone.
This was also only the surface of the cave. Within the entire body of the gold swallowing beast corpse, who knows how many treasures there were.
Zong Shou was dumbfounded. At this time he wished he had a high-grade storage magical treasure to shift the corpse of this entire metal swallowing beast in.
This was no different from a treasure chest.
Naturally, he could only just think about it. Even with a space treasure storage magical treasure, he didn’t have enough soul power to move this hundred thousand feet long metal swallowing beast corpse into the space.
In the future, if he had enough strength to obtain it, probably all these riches wouldn’t matter much to him anymore.
He could only sigh and pick up all the valuable items he saw on the way and place them into his heaven and earth bag.
