Chapter 1826: Days Pass by Like Years
The things that needed to be explained had been explained clearly. The Thousand-Faced Buddha waved his hand to the Thousand Buddha Sect monks present, then grabbed Qingyang on the ground, left Kuchan Temple, and flew towards the mountain.
This mountain is Xiaoling Mountain, the residence of the Thousand Buddha Sect. Kuchan Temple was built at the foot of Xiaoling Mountain. The top of the mountain is the core of the Thousand Buddha Sect, the Thousand Buddha Cave. The higher you go, the richer the spiritual energy is, and the better the conditions for cultivation. The Yuanying Buddhist cultivators of the Thousand Buddha Sect will build their own caves on the mountain for cultivation, and only Yuanying Buddhist cultivators are allowed to go up. Except for those who stay at the foot of the mountain for business and those who go out to travel, the Yuanying Buddhist cultivators of the Four Zen Temples of Wine, Sex, Wealth and Qi and Kuchan Temple are generally in seclusion in the caves. Because of this, when Qingyang made a fuss in Kuchan Temple, no more Yuanying Buddhist cultivators came to support.
As the only Divine Transformation cultivator of the Thousand Buddha Sect, the Thousand Faces Buddha's cave is naturally located at the top of Xiaoling Mountain. However, the Thousand Faces Buddha spends most of his time traveling outside, and his cave is always empty. This time, it was just a coincidence that the Thousand Faces Buddha came back for something and happened to meet Qingyang looking for trouble.
Divine Transformation cultivators are different from Nascent Soul cultivators. It is extremely difficult to break through the Divine Transformation. There is almost no one in a billion, and there are only a few in the entire Ancient Wind Continent. After becoming a Divine Transformation cultivator, it is even more difficult to go further, because the resources of the Ancient Wind Continent are not enough to support the cultivation of Divine Transformation cultivators, so the Divine Transformation realm is the ceiling of Qingyang's world of cultivation.
For example, the Thousand-Faced Buddha has been at the level of the God Transformation for more than 300 years since he broke through the God Transformation stage. Although the life span of a God Transformation cultivator has been greatly increased, if he only cultivates without improving his cultivation, no matter how long his life span is, it will not be able to withstand such consumption. One day, his life span will also run out. Therefore, the God Transformation cultivators rarely waste time on cultivation, because cultivation is of no great use. They are all looking for opportunities everywhere. This is also the reason why those God Transformation cultivators are often seen and elusive.
The main peak of Xiaoling Mountain is tens of thousands of feet high and hundreds of miles in radius. Even if it is a God Transformation cultivator like the Thousand-Faced Buddha, it takes more than an hour to fly all the way to the top of the mountain. Although there are countless Buddha caves on it, they are distributed all over the Xiaoling Mountain, which seems very empty. The Thousand-Faced Buddha grabbed Qingyang with one hand and went all the way to the top of the mountain. Occasionally, he would encounter a cave of other Buddhas. The Thousand-Faced Buddha obviously did not want to disturb them, so he hurriedly passed by without leaving any trace.
After more than an hour, the Thousand-Faced Buddha finally arrived outside his cave on the top of the mountain. The spiritual energy here is the best in the entire Xiaoling Mountain, much better than many cultivation holy places in the Immortal Spirit Realm. This is also the reason why the Thousand Buddha Sect has a small number of disciples, but can become the Nascent Soul that can compete with the super power of the Ten Kings Palace. However, the spiritual energy here is not enough for a Divine Transformation cultivator like the Thousand-Faced Buddha to quickly improve their cultivation. Usually, they still need to look for opportunities everywhere.
The Thousand-Faced Buddha has found some things that can be used to improve his Divine Transformation cultivation in the past few years, but it is still just a drop in the bucket for him. If he doesn't want to be like countless Divine Transformation predecessors who have no hope of breaking through and eventually slowly exhaust their lifespan and die, he can only think of other ways.
From the outside, the Thousand Faces Buddha's cave was very simple. Except for the advanced protective formation, it didn't look like the residence of a Divine Transformation cultivator. But after entering, it was a different world. There were caves connected to caves, caves within caves, and all kinds of rooms and quiet rooms. Moreover, the space was huge and fully functional, which could almost meet all the needs of a high-level cultivator.
After entering the cave, the Thousand Faces Buddha first checked Qingyang's restrictions to ensure that he could not recover his ability to move and operate his true essence and divine thoughts on his own. Then he threw him into a quiet room that looked like a prison cell, and then closed the formation and went to another quiet room.
The reason why the Thousand Faces Buddha did not deal with Qingyang's matter immediately was because he still had to heal his wounds. At that time, Qingyang used his time magic power and stabbed the Thousand Faces Buddha's Dantian with the Golden Spirit Sword. Although the Thousand Faces Buddha moved the Dantian vitals in advance, he was also seriously injured. This injury certainly did not take the life of the Thousand Faces Buddha, a cultivator of the Incarnation Realm, but it still had some impact on him.
Qingyang's Golden Spirit Sword was not an ordinary magic weapon. It contained tens of thousands of killing auras. After piercing the body of the Thousand Faces Buddha, those killing auras rushed into his meridians and destroyed them wantonly. It was because the Thousand Faces Buddha had a high level of cultivation and forcibly suppressed those killing auras that he seemed to be indifferent. If he was not dealt with for a long time, it would cause considerable damage to his body.
You must know that the Incarnation Realm cultivator is already the limit in this world. It is more difficult to improve the cultivation level, and it is more difficult to repair the body than the Nascent Soul cultivator. Once the foundation is damaged, it cannot be recovered in a short time. The sooner the injury is treated, the better. It was for this reason that the Thousand-Faced Buddha ignored the escaped Iron-Armed Spirit Monkey and the Alcoholic Bee Swarm in Kuchan Temple, but prepared to recover from his injuries first, deal with Qingyang's affairs, and adjust his condition before slowly taming the Alcoholic Bee Swarm.
As for Qingyang, he was controlled by the Thousand-Faced Buddha at this time, unable to move, unable to use his divine thoughts and true essence, and even the Drunken Immortal Gourd that he had always relied on was no longer effective. The only thing he could do now was to wait for death. When the Thousand-Faced Buddha recovered from his injuries and remembered him again, it would be Qingyang's death, and it was very likely that he would have to endure some torture before he died.
It would be a lie to say that he had no regrets. Qingyang had thought that if he had not come to inquire about the whereabouts of the One-horned Ghost King and had not ventured into the Thousand Buddha Sect, he would not have encountered these things and would not have had any life-threatening concerns. However, he also considered that this was not in line with his style. He really could not do such a thing. He would definitely feel guilty in the future. He had to save the One-horned Ghost King and he could not give up Yu Mengmiao. Therefore, coming to Jinyang Valley was Qingyang's destined choice. The only problem was that his good luck had run out this time. He ran directly into the hands of the Divine Transformation cultivator and became the other party's prisoner.
As for whether Qingyang still had a glimmer of hope? The strength of the Thousand Faces Buddha was already top-notch in the world of immortal cultivation. It was impossible for another Divine Transformation cultivator to save Qingyang, and it was even more impossible for the Thousand Faces Buddha to release Qingyang on his own initiative. It could only be said that it was very slim, because there was no chance of such a miracle happening.
Qingyang did do some tricks in secret, but he didn't know if he would have the chance to use them. This was also his only chance to turn the tables. He hoped that the Thousand Faces Buddha would not discover his tricks.
Waiting for death is the most difficult thing. Qingyang spent days in the dungeon like years. His body could not move, his mind was restricted, and his true energy could not be used. The only thing he could do was to count the time silently. The Thousand-Faced Buddha had not appeared for only a month, but for Qingyang, it seemed like decades had passed.
