Chapter 874: Chapter 396: Buddhist Treasures

"Master!"

Looking at the Sword Servant beside him, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but say, "Find the secret chamber at the fastest speed, we don’t have much time left to explore the treasures."

"Understood!"

The two quickly traversed the maze, moving swiftly through the dim corridors, with the walls shifting constantly.

Some of the Core Formation Cultivators who had risked entering here were already starting to discover some secret chamber entrances.

Over thousands of years, many changes have occurred, and some of the chamber’s restrictions have weakened due to various external influences, such as the destruction by cultivators who entered here previously.

This is one of the reasons many Core Formation Cultivators find opportunities here.

Of course, there’s always someone lurking behind, like a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Battle after battle unfolded within the maze.

"The secret chambers on the maze’s periphery contain only some treasures, which do not attract Nascent Soul Cultivators’ attention. They are eyeing the chambers deeper inside."

These inner chambers mostly contain items that would tempt Nascent Soul Cultivators, with some even holding the legacies of ancient cultivators who have passed.

As Lin Chang’an moved quickly, he had already changed his appearance, disguising himself as a burly man wielding the Blood Evil Demon Saber.

Meanwhile, the Sword Servant beside him imitated, disguising himself as a sullen male cultivator, holding a Big Halberd flashing with thunder.

"Die!" ℯℯ𝑙.

As the maze shifted, upon encountering other cultivators, neither side hesitated for a moment, ruthlessly unleashing their Magical Treasures in attack.

"Noisy!"

Holding the Blood Evil Demon Saber, Lin Chang’an advanced instead of retreating. Under the opponent’s terrified gaze, Lin Chang’an activated his Mana Shield on his treasured armor to resist the attack.

Taking the opportunity, he closed in, and when his Blood Evil Demon Saber cleaved down, the Mana Shield shattered under immense force.

"Body Cultivator!"

The terrified cultivator realized that the maze’s environment was very unfriendly to Magic Cultivators, while Body Cultivators could exert terrifying combat power.

"There’s a misunderstanding, fellow Daoist..."

After a burst of roaring, the cultivator ultimately stared in despair at the Big Halberd, gleaming with thunder, protruding from his chest.

"Let’s go."

The Sword Servant smoothly flicked the Big Halberd and then summoned three Yin Sha Corpse Puppets to absorb the cultivator’s Essence Blood to recover from injuries.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an had already taken the opponent’s Storage Bag, and the master-servant duo was extremely skilled in their cooperation.

"There isn’t a single ordinary Core Formation Cultivator who can enter here. Unfortunately, they encountered me."

Shaking his head, Lin Chang’an waved his hand, turning the bones into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

"Such a lucrative venture, no wonder so many cultivators choose to risk it all by venturing here."

This powerful Core Formation Cultivator’s total gains from the Secret Realm became part of Lin Chang’an’s hoard.

This scene played out throughout the dim maze, with fights breaking out near secret chamber entrances not being uncommon.

Two hours later!

The Spiritual Light of the Jade Token flickered in front of a wall hall, where Lin Chang’an detected no oddity.

This wall hall appeared no different from others.

Yet, holding the Jade Token in one hand and the Sword Servant’s hand tightly in the other, they maneuvered a Secret Technique to temporarily fuse their mana.

"Proceed!"

The two charged straight into the wall hall, yet there was no dull thud of collision, only a shimmering ripple on the wall.

With the Jade Token, the two passed through the layers of restrictions unimpeded, entering the secret chamber within.

...

Suddenly, the secret chamber bathed in golden light, exuding a faint and gentle sandalwood fragrance.

"This is... the Buddha’s essence!"

A stunned Lin Chang’an explored the expansive secret chamber, divided into two layers, each with restricted treasures.

The second layer of the secret chamber, a back hall, appeared disheveled with nothing inside.

However, all over the walls of both layers were engravings of Buddhist scriptures, with a white-bearded, bald, and gaunt monk at the center.

This monk had his eyes closed, his skin flushed, as if still meditating cross-legged. Yet, Lin Chang’an could clearly sense the lifelessness.

"Master, I shall guard."

Upon entering the secret chamber, the Sword Servant gripped his Thunder Halberd tightly, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Lin Chang’an cautiously surveyed the area and, finding no traps, proceeded to explore.

However, the moment Lin Chang’an activated the Exorcism Technique, it seemed to disturb the body, and the monk slowly turned to dust.

After his passing, a golden relic radiating Buddha Light appeared on the mat.

"It’s a Buddhist Relic!"

Lin Chang’an marveled, aware that while Buddhist Cultivation Techniques existed in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there were no orthodox Buddhist Cultivators in the Demon Beast Abyss or the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

According to rumors, Buddhism flourished most in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Upon inspecting further, Lin Chang’an discovered this secret chamber was the site of an ancient Buddhist Nascent Soul Cultivator’s final meditation.

Left behind were a Buddha Bone Relic, an incomplete golden Magical Treasure Purging Staff, and an ancient Sea Abyss map.

The transmission of Cultivation Techniques and the like was absent.

"What is this supposed to be!?"

Lin Chang’an exclaimed in disbelief, hoping the Jade Token would grant him the legacy of some powerful individual, only for this to be the outcome?

Just as he lamented the low value of the legacy, the residual spirit in the scroll ridiculed.

"Such ignorance, the incomplete Purging Staff, once repaired, would be a treasure for subduing demonic evils, alongside the Buddha Bone Relic.

Wearing it can stabilize the mind and ward off Heart Demons effectively, a great help in forming your Nascent Soul. After refining it, it can even release a Vajra Shield, offering formidable defense."
