The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1655 - 1652: Ancient Buddha
"Red Dragon Carp."
Ye Xuan called out.
Splash!
The Red Dragon Carp emerged from the depths of the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond, looking up at Ye Xuan, and said excitedly, "Emperor Ye, do you have any instructions?"
"That fellow inside the Buddha Cave, has he ever been to the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond?"
Ye Xuan asked.
The Red Dragon Carp’s eyes slightly changed, and it said in a low voice, "That guy is getting weirder. When he’s around, I dare not make any noise. But the last time he came to the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond was ninety thousand years ago, and afterward, he returned to the Buddha Cave to continue knocking on that wooden fish."
"By the way, didn’t you see him when you came from the Buddha Cave?"
The Red Dragon Carp looked puzzled.
Ye Xuan slightly shook his head and mumbled, "Ninety thousand years ago?"
"Did he say anything?"
Ye Xuan looked at the Red Dragon Carp again.
The Red Dragon Carp shook its head and said, "When he appeared, I hid at the bottom of the pond, not daring to come out. But Sister Lotus should know."
"Sister Lotus, answer Emperor Ye’s question."
The Red Dragon Carp wagged its tail, causing the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus to sway brilliantly.
Above the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus, a delicate little face appeared once more, and she said, "Hmm, he talked to himself, saying something about chaos approaching, danger descending upon the Buddha Cave. I’m not entirely sure; I hadn’t transformed at that time."
The Red Dragon Carp rolled its eyes and said, "That’s utterly useless, can’t even remember a couple of sentences."
The Nine Dragons Holy Lotus said apologetically, "I’m sorry, Brother Chi."
The Red Dragon Carp looked disdainful.
"Why didn’t you write it down?"
Ye Xuan looked at the Red Dragon Carp.
The Red Dragon Carp laughed sheepishly, mumbling for a long time without saying anything of value.
The Nine Dragons Holy Lotus covered her mouth and giggled.
"What are you laughing at!" The Red Dragon Carp glared, and the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus cowered.
Ye Xuan did not pay attention to the antics of these two strange beings but instead fell into contemplation.
Ninety thousand years ago, he came here.
And he said those words.
Ninety thousand years ago, the End of Dharma Era had not yet arrived.
But with that guy’s ability, predicting the future is not surprising.
What does chaos approaching mean?
Emperor Battle?
Or the continuation of that battle?
Hard to say, this guy speaks in such a cryptic manner, tough to decipher.
Moreover, the words he spoke, after hearing them, would soon result in memory deviation.
This is also why the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus can’t remember clearly.
As for the Red Dragon Carp, likely, that segment of memory is completely gone.
This is the means of that Ancient Buddha.
"Did he really go to that place?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Ye Xuan furrowed his brows.
Behind the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave, besides this Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond, there is another place.
There exists a world constructed by endless karma.
"What does the phrase about danger descending on the Buddha Cave spoken by the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus mean..."
Ye Xuan looked at the now-empty Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond, frowning in thought.
He came all the way and did not find any anomaly in the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave.
But that Ancient Buddha never lies; this statement must be true.
Where, then, does the danger come from?
Is it the world created by endless karma?
Or is it the Ancient Buddha himself?
"Better take a look."
Ye Xuan left the Nine Dragons Holy Lotus Pond and walked in another direction.
There was no path there before, but as Ye Xuan stepped forward, a small path formed.
The chaos automatically parted.
Ye Xuan strode forward.
As he delved deeper, streams of invisible karma surged towards him, causing various thoughts to arise in Ye Xuan’s heart.
Slaughter, despair, anger, sadness, and other negative emotions.
Among them were also warm, peaceful feelings that made one feel comfortable, tempting people to immerse themselves in them.
Ye Xuan’s Dao Heart was like a rock, unmoved, walking with firm steps into that world.
What he saw was not a world, but a mass of scarlet flames, appearing in the shape of a red lotus.
One of the most terrifying flames in the world.
Red Lotus Karma Fire.
At this moment, in the center of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, sat a monk, with a tattered robe, a sorrowful expression, hands clasped in prayer, chanting scriptures.
This was precisely the Ancient Buddha Ye Xuan was searching for.
And also, the miscreant defined by the Buddhist sects of the Western Heaven Great World as the Ghost Buddha.
Looking at that scene, an unease welled up in Ye Xuan’s heart for some reason.
"Has he given up?"
Ye Xuan thought to himself.
This guy had been meditating in the Buddha Cave, trying to refine away these karmic forces, but now appeared in the Red Lotus Karma Fire, seemingly intending to suppress it with his own body.
The Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd silently opened, Guo Hezu hovered beside Ye Xuan, ready to be drawn.
"Time Buddha, praising the words. Well said, well said. Good sir. Indeed, indeed. Exactly as you said..."
The old monk Ancient Buddha chanted incessantly, reciting the Great Nirvana Sutra of Buddhism.
At this moment, the Ancient Buddha monk endured the searing burn of the Red Lotus Karma Fire, suffering the torturous agony of endless karma.
"Hey."
Ye Xuan tentatively called out.
The Ancient Buddha monk within the Red Lotus Karma Fire remained unresponsive; moreover, the speed of his chanting increased.
Simultaneously, a ferocious expression gradually surfaced on his face, veins bulged on his forehead.
At this point, Ye Xuan realized there was no need to test further, understanding this guy was indeed troubled.
The Dao Formation Pill in Ye Xuan’s palm started to pulse.
Ye Xuan stared intently at the Ancient Buddha monk, commanding, "Stop chanting!"
Boom!
In the next moment, the Red Lotus Karma Fire erupted violently, endless karma transformed into flames rushing toward Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was well-prepared, clenching his hand, instantly activating the Dao Formation Pill.
Buzz————
A layer of black Mysterious Light spread before Ye Xuan, blocking the flames transformed from endless karma.
But Ye Xuan remained cautious because the Ancient Buddha monk underwent a tremendous change; his form began to grow robust, transforming from a previously emaciated monk to a now burly giant, fearsome beyond measure.
The tattered robe swelled out.
"Why do you not heed my enlightenment?!"
The Ancient Buddha monk emitted a beast-like low growl, his fury seemingly igniting at this moment.
Boom!
He punched fiercely, sending the Red Lotus Karma Fire flying, then looked up at Ye Xuan at the end of the small path, suddenly grinning fiercely, "Those unwilling to accept enlightenment shall be beaten to death!"
In the next instant, the Ancient Buddha monk leaped high, engulfed in scarlet flames, shooting towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan raised his hand, giving a slight shake, causing the black Mysterious Light formed by the Dao Formation Pill to deepen suddenly.
Boom!
The Ancient Buddha monk’s punch descended as if a thousand thunders fell simultaneously, pouring entirely onto the black Mysterious Light, producing an earth-shattering roar.
The surrounding chaos was instantly blasted away.
Ye Xuan’s eyes turned slightly cold; this old fellow’s strength was indeed formidable. If not for having the Dao Formation Pill, this punch might have heavily injured him.
"Ming Jing."
Ye Xuan softly called.
In the chaos mist, an imposing figure shrouded in golden light suddenly descended, appearing silently behind the Ancient Buddha monk.
That was the Emperor Corpse of the Ming Jing Great Emperor.
Boom!
The Great Emperor’s Corpse silently raised a hand, delivering a punch directly to the back of the Ancient Buddha monk’s head.
Yet a shocking scene unfolded.
The punch from the Emperor Corpse, powerful enough to shatter all things, landed on the back of the Ancient Buddha monk’s head, merely causing him to stagger.
Then, the Ancient Buddha monk slowly turned his head, his blood-red eyes staring ferociously at the Emperor Corpse.
