CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 296: FRONTIER EXPLORATION [TWO CHAPTERS COMBINED]

The system of Esoteric Buddhism is very mature, consisting of Six Realms, namely: Wisdom Light, Capturing Spirit, Inner View, Tongyou, Seeing God, Ritual Sacrifice.

Even though they all walk the God Road, there are several branches, and the names of the realms are the same, but the methods of cultivation are completely different.

One branch, during the Fifth Realm, the so-called Seeing God, is a very devout journey to an audience, facing various mysterious phenomena and so forth, with great respect, and sometimes even a paying homage to real deities.

And in the Sixth Realm, the so-called Ritual Sacrifice, of course, is with an incredibly devout heart, almost worship-like pilgrimage.

The other branch is entirely different, the so-called Seeing God is to see the god within oneself, as for Ritual Sacrifice, it makes those who understand it dumbfounded.

During the Ritual Sacrifice process, it is filled with great disrespect, saying it’s similar to conquering special terrains and "phenomena".

To people in the previous branch, this is outright blasphemy of the Divine.

In fact, today, the latter branch has already become mainstream, prioritizing "I", viewing oneself as the only true god, eventually even breaking the shackles of mountains and rivers, transcending gods and ancestors.

The spaceship sails far, crossing the boundless Night World.

During this time, they saw the endless grasslands nourished by the Fire Spring, among which there seemed to be creatures resembling Heavenly Horses running, as well as vast forested areas, and large, dead silent uninhabited zones.

"There’s a situation!" shouted the person responsible for security on the Mountain River.

Amidst the Night Fog, a large mass of creatures appeared ahead.

"Those are the Yi Clan, don’t panic, there’s no problem, they are in a major migration," said an elder.

In the Night Fog, it was a large group of Exotic Birds, slightly human-like, with faces like humans, and human-like arms, but more avian features, densely packed, moving from north to south.

They carried bundles on their backs, holding long spears, Bone Blades, etc.

The spaceship avoided them, not competing for the path, and several leaders of these Mysterious Race glanced over this way.

However, as Kunleng’s ships arrived one after another, a Great Grandmaster expanded their energy, and the Yi Clan immediately departed, with no dangerous action.

On the thirteenth day, they approached the destination.

This was a desert, not the kind that is endlessly dark with Divine "phenomena".

This area, although full of yellow sand, was not quite dead; deep within the desert, there were many oases, along with numerous Fire Springs.

Immortal Tombs, Divine Tombs, and other relics are located in the depths of this great desert.

Jin Xiang spoke up: "This place has some perplexing situation, there are quite a few Fire Springs, so how has it become an endless desert?"

"If this was caused by a great battle, that would be terrifying. And the emergence of so many big tombs might make sense," said the "archaeology" master Wu Chengwang on the ship.

However, these are very distant past events and have no impact on this era.

The Mountain River not only has an accurate map of the destination but also has a guide and occasional flights by the Lightning Sparrow for communication with the front to ensure never deviating from the route.

They weren’t in a hurry on the road, not particularly fast.

On the fourteenth day, they reached the destination!

In the deepest part of the desert, there is a huge oasis, covered with dense forests, Fire Springs gushing forth, with numerous rivers and lakes.

This place, the outer area is shrouded in white mist, once inside it feels like two different worlds inside and out.

Here the flowers are fragrant and birds chirping, the air is refreshingly natural, full of moisture, without any of the external desert’s dryness.

The forest area is quite large, far beyond the concept of a typical oasis.

In the lush primordial forest, the scenery is quite beautiful, with Fire Springs trickling, various trees bearing fruit, with fragrant flowers on the vines, and flowing rosy light.

No shadowy places here, it’s hazy, deer of five colors are unafraid of people, white rabbits with eyes like red gems, proactively approach, like a fairy-tale world.

Some Sun Elves patroled, holding bows and arrows aimed this way.

"It’s our people!" Those from the Immortal Road were also stationed here, hastily shouting to the foreign group, explaining the situation.

Evidently, this time Newborn Road and Immortal Road had a "tacit understanding".

Eventually, all the ships landed outside a Mountain City.

Those from the Immortal Road had arrived nearly half a month earlier, visible were many humans coming and going in this city, even Qin Ming saw several familiar faces.

Yu Gen Sheng spoke: "You can go around, but don’t cause trouble, it’s best to return to the spaceship to sleep at night, if not returning, inform in advance."

As Kunleng’s dozen ships landed, a large wave of people rushed into the city, all wanting to explore the mysterious realm’s scenery.

"Brother Ming, I’ll go with you," Xin Youdao approached.

Qin Ming nodded in agreement, then looked at Jin Xiang, and said: "Brother Jin, want to join us?"

"Sure!" Jin Xiang readily agreed.

The three of them entered the city together.

This city was built by the mountains and rivers, even the city walls were covered with Spirit Vine, inside and out are luminous Spirit Trees, combined with lakes and elegant small mountains, creating a city with an extraordinarily gorgeous natural landscape.

Qin Ming commented: "There are only tens of thousands of Sun Elf Clan members here? Even so, they can give rise to Grandmaster Level figures, and apparently more than one, their clan has excellent qualifications!"

The city was filled with large trees, besides regular buildings, there were also many wooden houses right on the trees.

Xin Youdao spoke: "The Immortal Road could easily annihilate them, it seems there shouldn’t be much turmoil this time, the place is too tranquil, it’s said to be the Great Exploration, but perhaps it’s just grave digging, uh, mainly archaeology."

Jin Xiang shook his head and said: "We’ve only just reached the depths of the Night World, anything can happen, perhaps even a terrifying bloody battle could break out, we must not be careless!"
