Chapter 1306 The Realm
Chen Yang took a deep breath and sighed, "It seems... Senior, you do not understand the art of space."
His words caused the Three Emperor Buddha to freeze for a moment. Seeing the smile in Chen Yang's eyes, he then chuckled.
"Benefactor Chen Yang is quite amusing. So this is where you were waiting for me!"
Saying so, the Three Emperor Buddha slowly rose and headed towards the passage between realms.
The Three Emperor Buddha muttered to himself, "Benefactor Chen Yang's question, this old monk cannot answer. However, I can give it a try."
"Waiting for people from the other side to come all the time is not the way."
As he spoke, the spiritual energy on the Three Emperor Buddha's body slowly spread, his inner lining stretching taut.
In an instant, his appearance changed!
His previously withered body now became more robust than a young man in his early twenties.
His broad arms subtly tore through his clothes.
His nearly two-meter frame left Chen Yang somewhat dumbfounded.
The first time he met this Three Emperor Buddha from the Zen Buddha Courtyard Sect, the elder had appeared like a small old man, his skin and flesh clinging to his bones...
Now... he had transformed into such a form.
What's more, Chen Yang discovered something else.
This Three Emperor Buddha before him had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm!
How long had the two realms been connected?
The Three Emperor Buddha's breakthrough speed was definitely among the fastest in the human race.
Seeing the Three Emperor Buddha about to enter the passage, Chen Yang could not help but remind him, "We don't know what's on the other side of the passage. There might be cultivators in the Core Formation realm. Senior, please be careful."
Before his voice even faded, the Three Emperor Buddha's body had already entered the spatial passage.
Feng Shan Hui, who was guarding the outside, secretly glanced at the ruins. Upon realizing that the old monk who had just entered was gone, he immediately and fearfully informed Huang Chen of the news.
Huang Chen cast a deep look at Chen Yang, who was still recovering from his injuries, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry."
"Instead, you. What exactly happened before?"
"Tell me everything you know... don't miss even the smallest detail!"
Huang Chen was certainly aware of the passage, but he needed to thoroughly investigate what had happened before.
During the meeting Chen Yang had with them previously, he had explicitly stated that the location where the passage opened must be a place where spiritual energy gathered.
This was because the spiritual energy in the human realm was currently scarce, and the passage between realms was also a conduit for spiritual energy to surge in.
Huang Chen and the others had focused all their attention on places where spiritual energy gathered. This small city had shown no abnormalities before.
How could a passage suddenly appear here!
Chen Yang had not asked them to investigate because that was their job!
...
After a flash of light within the passage, the figure of the Three Emperor Buddha appeared.
However, the aura emanating from the Three Emperor Buddha was not very stable.
Chen Yang guessed that the Three Emperor Buddha had suffered quite significant injuries.
Of course, for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment realm to have the courage to enter the passage, Chen Yang was already greatly impressed.
"How is the situation?" Chen Yang anxiously asked the Three Emperor Buddha.
After all, his own injuries were too severe to deal with, and he could not do anything substantial in a short period.
The Three Emperor Buddha slowly shook his head, speaking with some hesitation, "The spatial passage is extremely sturdy. This old monk exerted all his strength but achieved nothing."
Chen Yang's eyes widened, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Yang had initially thought the Three Emperor Buddha entered the passage because he had some understanding of spatial arts.
But after hearing this, Chen Yang truly understood that the Three Emperor Buddha had no understanding of space at all!
Only martial artists who had no knowledge of spatial passages would use their internal energy or spiritual energy to resist such a force.
Chen Yang had previously altered the spatial passage by using his spiritual energy to manipulate the passage's structure, causing it to destroy itself with its own power.
One must realize that the power supporting the spatial passage was the combined spiritual energy of both realms...
A passage built upon chaotic space, its strength was such that even a Nascent Soul realm cultivator might not be able to directly destroy it.
And the Three Emperor Buddha, a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, actually wanted to destroy the passage with his own power?
Seeing the expression on Chen Yang's face, the Three Emperor Buddha seemed to realize the foolishness of his actions.
However, the Three Emperor Buddha continued, "This old monk took a look at the other side of the passage. For some reason, they seemed frightened when they saw me."
"Before I could even make a move, they all ran away."
Chen Yang asked doubtfully, "Were there any in the Core Formation realm?"
In response to Chen Yang's doubt, the Three Emperor Buddha gave an awkward chuckle, "I could sense that their power was stronger than mine, but whether there were any in the Core Formation realm, I am not sure."
"They should not be coming over again anytime soon. During this period, Benefactor Chen Yang can recover, and then seal the passage. Do you think this is feasible?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yang was unsure.
He had initially sought out the Three Emperor Buddha because he believed the cultivation technique he practiced was the same as the Three Emperor Buddha who created the Buddha Kingdom in the netherworld, and thus his strength should be considerable.
But now, it seemed that was not the case.
The Three Emperor Buddha of the Zen Buddha Courtyard Sect was in the Foundation Establishment realm, and it was very unsafe for him to guard here alone.
"It will take too long. I will find someone to guard here with Senior."
At this moment, Wu Zhao Jun, who was savoring fine wine in a mansion, frowned deeply upon hearing Hu Feng's explanation.
"How long have I rested, and they're already causing trouble?"
"Can you find me more of this wine? I'll drink it on the road."
Wu Zhao Jun had already removed his armor. His long hair cascaded down his back, completely at odds with his handsome face and the aura of his armor.
Regarding the current world, Wu Zhao Jun had no interest in indulging in pleasure.
The only thing that piqued his interest was the divine wine in Chen Yang's residence.
Upon arriving at Feng Yun City with several jars of fine wine, Wu Zhao Jun almost dropped the wine he was holding when he first saw Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's injuries were too severe!
Wu Zhao Jun stepped forward, rubbing his forehead, and looked at the battlefield not far away, asking doubtfully, "People from the netherworld? Has a Core Formation cultivator arrived?"
The passage in the distance fluctuated. Wu Zhao Jun had sensed it the moment he entered this small city.
He had initially thought Chen Yang had called him here simply to guard the place.
But seeing Chen Yang's injuries, Wu Zhao Jun immediately understood that it was not that simple.
Wu Zhao Jun knew Chen Yang's formidable strength, and to inflict such severe injuries on him, it must have been at least a cultivator above the seventh level of the Core Formation realm.
"Let me be clear first, I might not be able to handle cultivators beyond the third level of the Core Formation realm!"
