Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 426 203 Bai Xiang

Seeing the eager look in the eyes of the two little fellows, Liu Qingyun pondered for a while. After all, the danger level of this tomb was unknown. If he rashly brought the two junior brothers inside and something unexpected happened, he would not be able to explain it to his master.

Just as he was feeling troubled, a familiar voice reached his ears, "Bring them in."

Liu Qingyun looked up joyfully but did not find Lu Yu's figure anywhere around; it was then that he realized his master's words meant he was inside the tomb himself.

Before everyone had found the key and opened the gate, Lu Yu had already entered the tomb. With his master inside, Liu Qingyun naturally felt confident enough to proceed.

He looked at the two little fellows and smiled, nodding his head, "Alright, I'll agree to it this time, but don't take this as a precedent. Once inside, you must be extremely careful. There are no so-called rules here; it's survival of the fittest, and you need to learn to adapt."

The two little fellows nodded their heads hurriedly upon hearing this.

Xiao Qi was somewhat astonished, since the senior brother's character would definitely not want the junior brothers to risk their lives. But for some reason, he agreed to the little fellows' request this time, which was contrary to usual logic.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Senior brother, the tomb is full of mixed characters, and we don't know what kind of environment is inside. If something happens to the two little fellows in there, we won't be able to explain it to our master."

Yet, Liu Qingyun's face revealed a mysterious smile as he said, "No worries! Let them go."

Xiao Qi, with a puzzled face, looked at his senior brother, feeling that he was behaving somewhat out of character today. However, since Liu Qingyun had an imposing reputation, and Xiao Qi did not have the image of the little fellows, he could only keep his doubts to himself.

"Alright, it's time to go," Liu Qingyun said softly, and then led his junior brothers into the gate.

As they entered, the entire gate began to shake violently, scaring the people who wanted to enter to hastily escape. They could already feel the space turbulence re-emerging around them, and soon the gate became illusory and disappeared in a short while.

This left the onlookers full of regret, for people are often like this: when facing opportunities, they hesitate, fearing this and that. Once the opportunity is lost, they fall into endless remorse, always thinking that if they had been more decisive, their fate might have been different.

Meanwhile, in Lion Camel City, thousands of miles away from Treasure Elephant Country, Bai Xiang was drawing a mysterious array within the city.

Lion Camel City had turned into hell, with countless corpses piled up, stored by the demons as food, and the skinned human hides messily hanging from tree branches. The strong scent of blood filled every corner of the city. However, the demons living there did not feel the slightest discomfort; on the contrary, they found it to be an utmost delicacy.

"Hey, Second Brother, can your array really open the tomb of your ancestors?" A burly man with a lion's head came over, his voice deep and sonorous. A young man, who looked somewhat handsome and wore luxurious clothing with an air of nobility, followed behind him.

"Just relax. This is an array etched into our bloodline. It's just a pity that our lineage is not pure, which is why the array we obtained is also incomplete. This one has been deduced for us by an expert from Mount Ling, so it's very close to the original," Bai Xiang said excitedly, already sensing the call from his bloodline.

"If nothing goes wrong, that will be great. I happen to be free lately, so it's a perfect time to accompany my two brothers on this trip," the young man said with a smile, his face filled with a mild amiability that betrayed no hint of his identity as a Demon Lord who had devoured numerous people.

"We should focus on strengthening our powers as soon as possible. We have been entrenched here for quite some time and, although we have utilized the time disparity between the three realms to our advantage, our cover will be blown sooner or later. Then, we will have to face those bald monks from Mount Ling. Sigh, we should never have listened to Third Brother's idea of establishing a demon kingdom. Now we are finding it hard to backtrack," Green Lion said, shaking his massive head.

"Are my brothers doubting me? Even Tathagata would have to call me 'uncle' if he saw me. How could he have achieved such cultivation and realm without relying on the Fortune and Destiny of our lineage? This is a tremendous cause and effect," the young man said with a laugh.

"Besides, although my brothers serve as the mounts for Bodhisattvas, you have our ancestors above you, genuine disciples of the orthodox teachings, who have been in secluded cultivation for many years. With them supporting you, what have you to fear?"

Dapeng's words managed to alleviate some of the unease in the two, but they were still apprehensive, knowing that what they had done this time was too cruel. If word got out, it would utterly disgrace Buddhism.

"Forget it, no use thinking too much about it now. The best plan for the moment is to quickly enhance our strength so we have a solid foundation for the future," Bai Xiang said solemnly.

Watching as the Formation was completed, Bai Xiang extended his hand and made a light cut, his blood pouring forth, steadily flowing into the Array drawn upon the ground. In just a moment, the Array was fully filled.

The crimson blood outlined an intricate pattern with glimmers of white light flickering through, causing the three of them some discomfort.

"It's no wonder, with the bloodline of the Holy Elephant, the Sacred energy contained within is so powerful that even I feel uneasy," Dapeng mused to himself.

At this moment, Bai Xiang reverted to his original form, transforming into a colossal white elephant that appeared within Lion Camel City. He lifted his trunk and emitted a roar that echoed through the air.

As the roar faded, the Array suddenly radiated a bright white light, and an ethereal gateway appeared above it. Green Lion saw this and exclaimed with joy, "It worked! Second Brother, shall we go in now?"

By this time, Bai Xiang had turned back into human form. He looked gravely at the gateway and smiled, "Of course, we must go in. The door can stay open for a while longer. Let's choose some smart and capable lads to come with us. I can sense that the presence of the human race seems to have increased here."

Upon hearing this, Green Lion's face twisted into a ferocious smile, "Perfect, the human beings from this place are all dead, a bunch of fellows with no outlet for their frustrations."

Soon enough, a horde of little demons gathered in Lion Camel City. Following their three Great Kings, they entered the gateway. As the last demon's figure disappeared, the white gateway vanished, and the Array grew dim and lifeless.

Lion Camel City returned to calm. The howling wind blew fiercely, stirring up gusts that carried a thick scent of blood. It howled mournfully, as if lamenting the dreadful events that had taken place here.

The scenery before Liu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he found himself arriving in a brand new world. It was not the stifling darkness he had imagined; the world before him was bursting with vitality. The space seemed to contain a special power, vast and sacred, inciting an impulse to bow in reverent awe.
