Mysterious mirror hanging high

It turns out that this underground palace was built by an ancient Buddhist sect [Yuchan Sect] more than 100,000 years ago.

As for why the Jade Zen Sect built a crypt underground, the reason is very simple.

This anecdote is rarely known to the world today, but Jing Yu once sneaked into the [Shen Ding Tian] where the Shen Ding Immortal Dynasty was located, and is quite familiar with the history of Shen Ding.

The ancient Buddhist tradition has a long history and appeared in the fairyland in ancient times. In terms of its long history, the ancient Buddhist [Power of Incense and Vows] was even earlier than the [National Destiny Fairy Dynasty System] of the Shending Fairy Dynasty.

Both systems require incense and vows. Although these two types of incense and vows are essentially different, there are only a limited number of believers in the world. Although believers can be both Shending monks and devout Buddhists, and the two can coexist... there are always fanatics who will completely abandon their identification with the Shending Immortal Dynasty because of their belief in Buddhism.

In addition, the ancient Buddhist monks no longer needed the immortal eyes to improve their cultivation after they became gods, and relied purely on the offerings of incense and vows. As a result, the Shending Immortal Dynasty naturally tended to suppress Buddhism and did not want too many monks who had become gods to appear.

Therefore, during the tens of thousands of years when the Shending Immortal Dynasty unified the Immortal Continent, there were many vigorous [anti-Buddhist] actions, which almost caused the inheritance of ancient Buddhist monks in the Immortal Continent to be interrupted.

At that time, no superstar had descended from the sky, the world was still divided into nine provinces, and [Futu Fairyland] was still [Futu Province].

This state has a special status among the nine states, and the culture of worshipping Buddhism is extremely strong. It has always been the base camp of ancient Buddhism.

It was just that due to the Shending Immortal Dynasty's repeated [destruction of Buddhism], most of the ancient Buddhist monks in this state went underground and preached secretly.

Among them, the [Yuchan Sect] built such an underground palace as a place for the sect's disciples to live and practice.

This scripture library contains many Buddhist classics and martial arts inheritances. Jing Yu was too lazy to pick and choose, so he simply packed up all the jade slips and took them away, putting them in a separate storage bag.

Although he would not change to practice the ancient Buddhist way of incense and vows, there were still some magic skills and even body-building exercises that could be practiced by Taoist monks, which could be regarded as enriching the treasury of his own Taoist tradition.

Afterwards, Jing Yu came to the [Zen Heart Cave] where the disciples of the Jade Zen Sect were in retreat, but found that almost ninety-nine percent of the retreat rooms here were empty. Apparently, at the final moment, there were not too many disciples of the Jade Zen Sect in this underground palace.

Only in a few of the retreat rooms were there the remains of a few ancient Buddhist monks. Jing Yu guessed that these ancient Buddhist monks were at least at the Golden Core stage or above, otherwise, after more than 100,000 years, their bodies would have turned to ashes long ago, and there was no way they would have retained any complete shape.

Similarly, all the pills stored in the [Danding Courtyard] were unusable, which made Jing Yu very disappointed.

The last place he entered was a side hall called the [Puppet Hall], where Jing Yu discovered an unexpected surprise.

I saw rows of jade puppets neatly placed in the [Puppet Hall], with a faint jade luster, as if they could still be used.

Among them, the green jade material used for the thousands of foundation-building puppets is obviously the lowest quality. After more than 100,000 years, almost all of them have suffered varying degrees of damage, and it is obvious that there are not many that can run anymore.

However, dozens of Jindan puppets were made of higher-quality materials, so most of them were well preserved. Jing Yu estimated that they could be put into use again after some repairs.

At the innermost part of the Puppet Hall, there were three top-grade jade puppets. Jing Yu took a look with his divine sense and was surprised:

"A puppet at the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Although it's only the early stage of Yuanying, it's still amazing enough!"

Jing Yu thought to himself, "The puppetry skills of this [Jade Zen Sect] are truly amazing. Even after such a long time, the puppets at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels haven't been damaged much..."

"It's a pity that there are no puppets at the God Transformation level..."

Jing Yu sighed, "Is it because the puppetry skills are insufficient to create it? Or was it simply that due to some unexpected circumstances, the Jade Zen Sect disciples took it out of the underground palace?"

"But the idea of ​​using puppets to fight against the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty... clearly means they were pushed into a corner..."

Jing Yu shook his head, walked forward, and looked at the three Nascent Soul-level jade puppets, but frowned after a moment.

"Ok?"

"wrong!"

He was shocked to find that although the materials of these three Nascent Soul puppets were indeed at the Nascent Soul level, they did not have any fighting-related equipment modules attached to them.

In other words, these three puppets are not meant for fighting at all!

"The Jade Zen Sect spent a lot of effort to create three Yuanying-level puppets, but they weren't used for fighting... How bizarre!"

Jing Yu felt a strong curiosity in his heart. He took out the storage bag where he had just kept the jade slips of the Yu Chan Sect, poured out all the jade slips, and began to look for the jade slips related to the puppets.

After about a few hours, Jing Yu finally found out the origins of the three jade puppets.

Jing Yu was holding a jade slip in his hand in a daze, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful.

"I go……"

He learned from the jade slip that the names of these three jade puppets were [Wish Power Puppets], and they were created by a Nascent Soul cultivator named [Puppet Heart Zen Master].

The function of this [Wish Power Puppet] is naturally not to fight, but to generate incense and wish power!

At the end of the Shending Immortal Dynasty, the [Anti-Buddhism] movement was nearing its end. At that time, Buddhism was declining in the Immortal Continent. Countless ancient Buddhist monks either switched to building the foundation of alchemy or simply went into hiding, and a large number of ancient Buddhist believers were lost.

As the Yuanying Zen Lord of the Yuchan Sect, the Kuixin Zen Lord naturally suffered a great loss in cultivation due to the loss of followers. His cultivation, which was originally in the middle Yuanying stage, fell to the early Yuanying stage, and he was in great pain.

However, the extremely intelligent and expert puppet master [Puppet Heart Zen Master] had an idea...

Since living believers cannot grab it, is it really impossible for the power of incense and vows to come out of nothing?

A possibility occurred to him.

If the puppets he created could have the consciousness to think independently, does that mean that these puppets that could think independently could also provide him with incense and power?

"genius!"

Jing Yu looked at the three [Wish Power Puppets] in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity!"

Unfortunately, [Kui Xin Zen Lord] failed.

These three puppets did not develop independent consciousness.

Naturally, he could not offer incense and prayers to Master Kuixin.

"Puppets...are dead things after all!"

Jing Yu sighed, "Even a genius like [Puppet Heart Zen Master], a master of the art of puppetry, cannot give a puppet true life."

He suddenly thought that if Master Guixin could really create a puppet that could think independently and have self-awareness, he might be able to achieve the highest position of Buddha in Buddhism with this innovation!

As he was feeling emotional, the [Spiritual Stone Embryo] on his waist suddenly flickered, as if someone was trying to contact him through the Spiritual Stone Embryo.

He picked up the Lingming Stone Embryo and probed into it with his divine sense, only to discover that it was a message left for him by Yun Xuance:

"Xuan Jing, Ye Xingyun has just returned to the Ye family after breaking out of an ancient maze. Please come to the [Taixu Illusionary Realm] as soon as possible. It's time to hold the [Immortal Selection Meeting] for all the Immortal Chosen Ones to gather together."
