Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 4678: Search

Including the Master of the Martial Hall, everyone followed the young monk cautiously.

Though this little novice monk was only a Cauldron Forging Tier, while the Master of the Martial Hall was a great elite of Sect Master-level, this was the true core of the Buddhist Race. In fact, even Buddha Ah Han could possibly be here, so what was a Sect Master worth?

The young monk led them into a temple. The chanting of sutras was endless here, causing one to feel refreshed and energetic after hearing it. It was as if it had become easier to think about problems.

Yet Ling Han knew that this was an illusion.

The brainwashing ability of the Buddhist Race was number one in the world.

It was possible that even Venerate Tiers wouldn’t be able to discover this misconception, and would think that this was a Holy Land of cultivation. As time passed, they would subtly be inclined towards the Buddhist Race and completely submit to them.

In the past, when Ah Han had preached Buddhist sermons, he had even caused a Saint-level beast to "come to its senses", and throw itself into becoming the guardian beast of the Buddhist Race, which showed how terrifying the effects this had on the spirit was.

No matter how strong your willpower was, could it withstand millions of years of continuous brainwashing?

Thus, within the Sacred Land, everyone was definitely the most loyal believers and death warriors of the Buddhist Race.

Ling Han guarded his divine sense closely. He didn’t want to be brainwashed into becoming a member of the Buddhist Race before he even entered the Pond of Life.

The young novice monk left very quickly, and everyone hurriedly tried their best to gain appreciation. This was the Sacred Land. If they cultivated here for a day, it would be equivalent to a month outside, or even a year in fact!

Ling Han very much wanted to release his divine sense to sense for the Pond of Life.

Once he found it, he would be able to immediately sneak in and leave, ending this journey to the Buddhist Race.

Unfortunately, he did not dare.

That was because it was very possible that there was a Great Emperor here. Even if due to circumstances, it was impossible for him to fully unleash the Imperial Might, he was still not something that Ling Han could stand against.

Thus, he still had to maintain an absolute low profile.

While others were meditating, he exited the temple and started to walk around.

—No one had made it a rule that anyone who entered here would have to stay in the temple.

When others asked, he could also say that he was curious.

Who could blame the curiosity of a seventeen-year-old country boy?

If he could find the Pond of Life just like that, that was naturally best. If he couldn’t, he could only follow the plan and break through to the core level of the Sacred Land with an outstanding performance. Then, he would naturally have a chance to enter the Pond of Life.

In the Sacred Land, there were temples everywhere. The people living here were the most devout believers of Buddha Ah Han. They recited sutras every day, and did not care about worldly matters.

Hence, no matter where it was, the chanting of sutras would not cease, forming a mysterious power.

"The power of belief can form a type of Regulation, and in this world, the belief of monks are even firmer, and will form a stronger effect of Regulations."

Ling Han reminded himself to be careful. When two opposing Regulations clashed, it would definitely be the stronger Regulation that would emerge victorious. The heaven and earth would act according to these Regulations.

He walked around. There was practically no one walking on the streets here. It was empty. If it was not for the endless chanting of sutras, one would really think that this was a ghost realm.

No one came out to stop Ling Han from going anywhere. It seemed like there were no secrets hidden in the Sacred Land.

Most importantly, there were too many buildings here, and the place was too big. Even if there was no one to stop Ling Han, without releasing his divine sense, Ling Han’s speed of exploration wouldn’t be much faster.

If he wanted to explore the entirety of the Sacred Land, it would take at least a few months. Furthermore, even if he did, it did not mean that he would definitely be able to find the Pond of Life.

The strange thing was that even after a day had passed, there was still no sign of the sun setting. Instead, it continued to circle around the Sacred Land.

In truth, there was no sun in the entire outer circle of the Buddhist Land. It was unknown in the past, but the present sun had long since been extinguished by the invasion of the Netherworld, but in the Buddhist Land, there were still the normal rising and setting of the sun and moon.

This was naturally the handiwork of great elites, who artificially caused day and night to change.

When it came to the \Sacred Land, the change of day and night was even stranger, directly erasing the darkness of the night.

Fortunately, the people here were all elites above Celestial Path. If they wanted to rest, they could simply meditate. They didn’t need to sleep at all.

In that case, one circle of the sun here would be counted as a day. Ling Han had already walked for two days, but did not discover anything. Thus, he planned to return first, not knowing when the final tournament would be held.

He walked back, and after taking a few steps, a woman in white walked towards him.

Yi, Guo Shuang.

Ling Han’s eyes swept over, and discovered that there was a crimson squirrel on this woman’s shoulder. It was currently staring at him, baring its teeth, as if it had some great enmity with him.

Why had this woman appeared here?

Ling Han couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. He didn’t dare to observe the other party with his eye technique, because he could sense that the other party was unfathomable. If she really was a super elite, then being observed by him like this would definitely expose him as well.

However, this woman was mysterious, and added with the fact that he had previously felt that an elite was observing him, these two factors added together gave him a feeling that this woman was very possibly the person who had been observing him secretly.

He smiled, and took the initiative to say, "Lady Guo, what a coincidence."

"It’s not a coincidence." Guo Shuang said calmly, "I have deliberately come to find you."

"Oh, is anything the matter?" Ling Han asked.

Guo Shuang smiled faintly, and instantly, it was as if hundreds of flowers had bloomed at the same time, indescribably beautiful.

She said calmly, "I see that you have been roaming around, so I wanted to ask you, where do you want to go? I can be a guide."

Ling Han was astonished, and he asked, "Miss, are you staying here?"

"Are you trying to get information out of me?" Guo Shuang countered.

Ling Han shrugged and said, "I’m just curious."

"I do indeed live here, so I’m very familiar with this place," Guo Shuang said calmly.

Ling Han also admitted honestly, "This is my first time entering into the Sacred Land, so I’m curious about everywhere. I especially want to see the place where the Ancestral Buddha preached in the past."

"I’ll take you there," Guo Shuang said.

"Then thank you."

Ling Han caught up withh her in a few steps, and walked side by side with Guo Shuang. Immediately, he was glared at by that squirrel, as if it was saying, ’Who do you think you are? How dare you walk side by side with this Lady?’

The two of them continued onwards, circling here and there, and finally arrived in front of a temple that was not too conspicuous.

Though there were doors in the temples here, all of them were wide open, and there was no one standing guard.

The two of them entered, yet immediately felt an incredibly powerful aura approach them.

However, this aura immediately withdrew. Furthermore, there was no sign of anyone walking out, as if they were extremely at ease.

Ling Han couldn’t help but look at Guo Shuang, who was beside him. Was it because of this woman?

Guo Shuang smiled sheepishly, "Like I said, I live here."

Ling Han also smiled. He entered the temple, and walked around.

Guo Shuang was really familiar with this place, and gave a lecture to Ling Han. This was the Buddhist staff that the Ancestral Buddha had used before. This was the praying mat that the Ancestral Buddha had sat on. It really seemed like there was nothing that she didn’t know.

Ling Han was naturally not interested in this kind of history, but no matter what, he had to put on an act, so he could only show an expression of high spirits.

He was beginning to regret it.
