Looking around, they found themselves atop a vast expanse of cloud-like ruins.
Magnificent temples and various buildings floated above the clouds, bathed in the sunlight, appearing magnificent and awe-inspiring.
However, those temples were all in ruins, as if they had been destroyed in some great war, appearing somewhat dilapidated and desolate.
Yang Cheng guessed that this place should be another world connected to other worlds, just like the abyss where Zuo Yuan obtained the secret treasure.
The Great Zhou world seems to be a sieve, full of holes, and it appears to have many channels connecting it to other worlds.
Master Xuanwei glanced around and exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly strange! We are all above the clouds? Then why is this a Buddhist kingdom on earth?"
"Because the entrance is on the ground, and no one knows whether this place is actually in the sky. After all, no one who has been here would want to jump down."
Looking down through the clouds, all below was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss.
So it's hard to say whether this place is actually in the sky.
"Gentlemen, if you encounter any envoys from the Buddhist Kingdom later, please be very careful. Their strength may be comparable to mine, or they may be even stronger than me."
Yang Cheng reminded Xuanwei Zhenren and Luo Fei that what he was most uncertain about was how strong the people from Lingshan were.
Yang Cheng is now certain that one of them is the senior brother of the all-powerful Vajra of the Dharma, whose strength is definitely at the Six Harmonies Realm.
The other two are uncertain; they could be Seven Stars or Six Harmonies.
If it were someone at the Seven Star Realm, it would be easier to handle; both Xuanwei Zhenren and Luo Fei could stop them.
But if all three of them were at the Six Harmonies Realm, it would be a fierce battle.
The three cautiously advanced through this ruined world. Looking around, it seemed that this place had once been a prosperous Buddhist kingdom, but now, for some unknown reason, it had turned into ruins.
Although there was no excess power left, Yang Cheng could tell that this was a trace left after a battle between powerful individuals.
“Those are sword marks.”
Luo Fei suddenly pointed to a Buddhist pagoda that had been cut open.
But the cracks stretched along the stupa into the distance, until they became invisible to the naked eye.
Master Xuanwei sighed and said, "In fact, we are all like frogs in a well, with no view of the sky. There are countless mysterious powers in this world."
The bottomless abyss discovered by the thirty-six bandits, this Buddhist kingdom on earth, and the secret realms recorded in the scriptures of my Xuanzhen Daoist sect's patriarchs are all unimaginable existences.
"Therefore, the idea of being invincible is unacceptable. Even if you are invincible, there are countless powerful beings in the heavens."
While chatting with Master Xuanwei, Yang Cheng looked around at the details, trying to find any trace of the people from Mount Ling.
But the place is too big, and it's all in a mess, so there really aren't any clues to be found.
At this moment, Yang Cheng suddenly stopped and looked at a black tower in the distance.
It was a magnificent nine-story pagoda, each story hundreds of feet tall. Although it only had nine stories, it seemed to soar into the clouds.
The pagoda is entirely dark, but it has no windows, as if it were completely sealed off.
Moreover, while other buildings have cracks or damage to varying degrees, and some are even in complete ruins, this black tower is exceptionally intact.
Yang Cheng took out some records that Bastu had given him before, which contained descriptions of the black tower left by the abbots of the Vajra Minglun Temple who had entered it.
The abbots of Vajra Myo-rin Temple throughout history have all entered the earthly Buddhist realm. Although most of them encountered some dangers, they were able to come out safely.
Only the three abbots failed to emerge from the Buddhist kingdom on earth.
Some of them found fragments of items left behind by one of the abbots outside the black tower.
When another host found out, he immediately stated that he wanted to explore the Black Tower.
If he fails to emerge from the Black Tower, the abbot of the Vajra Bright Wheel Temple who later enters the Buddhist realm on Earth will never be allowed to enter it again.
He placed his string of Buddhist prayer beads outside the Black Pagoda and went inside alone. He never came out again until the next abbot found his prayer beads outside the Black Pagoda. From then on, this place was considered a forbidden area of the Buddhist kingdom on earth. Anyone who entered the Black Pagoda and saw it must not have any curiosity and must immediately go around it.
Yang Cheng found this place quite suspicious, and given his cultivation level, he felt confident even entering such a perilous place.
