Chapter 519: The Mysterious Eighteen Movements!
Chapter 519: The Mysterious Eighteen Movements!
Ye Tian entered the Buddha Pagoda without any hindrance. Perhaps the power that presided over this ancient monastery knew that everyone was destined to perish and merely wished to leave something behind after the universe’s destruction. Thus, no deadly formations were set up.
Otherwise, with the strength of Ye Tian and his companions, they wouldn’t even dream of entering this ancient monastery.
Inside the Buddha Pagoda.
Ye Tian stood there, about to explore the surroundings.
Suddenly, a child about one meter tall appeared before Ye Tian.
“Who are you?” Ye Tian displayed a cautious demeanor.
However, he soon speculated the identity of the child.
“An artifact spirit!”
He had encountered artifact spirits before, so he was quite familiar with their aura. This child was clearly an artifact spirit, and very likely the artifact spirit of this Buddha Pagoda.“Are you one of the legendary living beings?”
The artifact spirit was thrilled to see Ye Tian.
“Legendary living beings?” The words sounded exceedingly strange to Ye Tian.
“Have you never seen a living being?” Ye Tian inquired.
“Never!” The artifact spirit shook its head. “Since my birth, I have been here, never having seen a living being. Moreover, I can’t leave this place and am confined here.”
After some questioning, Ye Tian finally learned about the origins of this artifact spirit.
Strictly speaking, this artifact spirit was born in this cosmic era. The artifact spirit from the previous cosmic era had perished.
After a long passage of time, this Buddha Pagoda gave birth to a new artifact spirit, which was the young child before him.
“Artifact spirit, does this Buddha Pagoda contain any treasures?” Ye Tian inquired.
“This Buddha Pagoda itself is a treasure!” The artifact spirit declared.
“The Buddha Pagoda itself?” Ye Tian looked at the pagoda but couldn’t discern anything particularly valuable about it.
At that moment, the artifact spirit explained, “This Buddha Pagoda, known as the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, is the supreme treasure of the Six Paths Temple. However, the origin of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda has fallen into slumber, making it difficult to revive its origin.
Although I am the artifact spirit of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, I am actually unable to activate it. When I was born, the origin of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda was already in deep slumber, so I can’t control its origin unless the origin of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda is revived.”
“Can I take the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda with me?” Ye Tian posed this question.
Although he was unclear about the terms ‘supreme treasure’ and ‘Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda’, he was certain that the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda was an extraordinary artifact. If he could bring it back to humanity, given humanity’s foundation, they should be able to revive the origin of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda.
By then, the magnitude of his contribution would be enormous, and he would surely receive astonishing rewards.
“I don’t know!” The artifact spirit waved its hand. “I can’t even leave this place myself, so I’m not sure if you can take the pagoda with you.
However, there is a place in the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda that I cannot enter, but you might be able to. Perhaps you can find a way to take the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda from there.”
“Artifact spirit, can you take me to that place?” Ye Tian was somewhat eager.
“Of course!” The artifact spirit nodded.
Although the artifact spirit couldn’t leave the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, it had a certain level of authority over it.
In an instant, Ye Tian was teleported by the artifact spirit to the top of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda.
There, Ye Tian saw a colossal ancient stone door.
“This is the place!” The artifact spirit said. “Apart from the slumbering origin of the Six Paths Reincarnation Pagoda, this is the only place I cannot enter. Only a true living being can enter here, and I am not one!”
As Ye Tian approached the ancient stone door, a light enveloped him.
In the next moment.
Ye Tian was sucked into the other side of the ancient stone door.
“Where is this?” Ye Tian looked around the void, utterly baffled.
At that moment.
In this void stood several Buddha statues, each in a peculiar pose, as if they were part of a series of movements.
Initially, Ye Tian thought he was in danger, but after moving around for a while, he encountered no threats.
Besides these Buddha statues, there was nothing else in this place.
“Strange, did I enter through that ancient stone door just to see these statues?” Ye Tian was profoundly puzzled.
After some contemplation, he suspected that the secret lay within these statues.
This was a place even the young child artifact spirit couldn’t enter, so it was unlikely to contain ordinary items.
There were a total of eighteen Buddha statues, which were undoubtedly precious and might conceal great secrets.
He attempted to attack a Buddha statue, but his attacks had no effect on it, akin to a common person punching a boulder.
As time passed, even someone with Ye Tian’s strong disposition began to grow impatient.
“Calm down!” Ye Tian sat cross-legged, calming himself to ponder the mysteries of the Buddha statues.
Before long, Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes, struck by a possibility.
“Normal Buddha statues wouldn’t be so peculiar, assuming all these poses. These poses clearly form a set of movements. Could it be that I’m supposed to replicate these movements?”
With this thought, Ye Tian mirrored one of the poses.
With Ye Tian’s capabilities, mimicking a simple movement was naturally effortless.
However, as soon as he assumed the exact same pose, an overwhelming pressure descended upon him.
Boom! Ye Tian’s physical body seemed to be crushed under an incredible force, starting to collapse.
“Immortality Talent!”
“Healing Talent!”
“Life Talent!”
“Blood Devouring Talent!”
Ye Tian activated a series of talents to stabilize his physical body and promptly changed his pose.
As he altered his stance, the omnipresent pressure vanished.
And with the aid of various recovery talents, his collapsing physical body gradually healed and restored.
“This movement nearly cost me my life!” Ye Tian was somewhat shocked.
That was clearly a simple movement; why did it have such a significant impact?
“No, if that movement were made outside, it would definitely be harmless. It’s only here that performing such a movement triggers changes. The mystery must lie within this set of movements. Perhaps completing the entire set will unveil the secret!” Ye Tian thought.
After his injuries healed, Ye Tian selected another Buddha statue and replicated its pose.
As expected, the terrifying force crushed down again, nearly pulverizing Ye Tian’s physical body.
Recover! Continue with the movements! Recover again! In this manner, Ye Tian spent several days completing all eighteen sets of movements, each time nearly resulting in his physical body’s complete collapse.
Through the continuity of these movements, Ye Tian discerned the sequence of each set, his only insight over these days.
The First Set of Movements! Ye Tian continued with a movement similar to boxing, his body twisting. When his movement perfectly aligned with the Buddha statue, the terrifying force crushed down.
Crack! Ye Tian’s body felt as if it had broken, and he promptly changed his stance, causing the terrifying force to dissipate.
Then, Ye Tian healed his injuries.
Ye Tian repeated the first set of movements over and over, the only thing he could do.
Perhaps after numerous repetitions, he would comprehend the purpose of these movements.
One time, two times! Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times! Ye Tian initiated time acceleration, thus not worried about the time.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
After so many trials, Ye Tian noticed that he could maintain the first set of movements for longer.
Initially, he could only hold it for 0.
0 seconds, but now he could sustain it for 0.1 seconds.
More importantly, Ye Tian found that his physical strength had significantly increased, likely due to the repeated collapse and repair of his body, akin to body training.
“Could these movements be a method of cultivation?” Ye Tian suddenly realized.
This was highly probable, as the cultivation methods of the previous universe could have been incredibly unique, with various peculiar cultivation techniques being quite normal.
“Right, I previously obtained a Chaos Grass. This is a good opportunity to consume it and test these movements. Perhaps this set of movements is indeed a cultivation technique that can strengthen the body, maybe complementing the Chaos Body Refining Technique!”
With that thought, Ye Tian acted.
He took out the Chaos Grass and swallowed it, immediately running the Chaos Body Refining Technique and starting the first set of movements.
The moment the first set of movements was made, Boom! A terrifying force crushed down, seemingly intending to grind Ye Tian to dust.
After 0.1 seconds, Ye Tian changed his movement, and the terrifying force dissipated.
At this moment, Ye Tian discovered that a small portion of the Chaos Grass’s energy had been absorbed by his body, and the Chaos Body Refining Technique was operating at an unbelievable speed.
“The rate of progress is astounding!” Ye Tian was truly shocked.
Knowing that the energy contained within the Chaos Grass would require him decades to fully assimilate, even with time acceleration, yet now, in merely 0.1 seconds, Ye Tian had assimilated a small portion of the Chaos Grass’s energy. Although this portion was very weak, the rate of assimilation exceeded Ye Tian’s own by countless times.
“Opportunity, a real great opportunity. Just this little usage I’ve discovered is enough to prove the benefits of this set of movements.
It’s a pity I don’t know if these movements will be effective outside. If they don’t work outside, I should seize the chance to cultivate here, otherwise, I would waste this great opportunity!” Ye Tian thought.
Thus, he began to repeatedly perform the first set of movements, assisting his cultivation with the Chaos Body Refining Technique.
Although each cultivation session required healing and recovery, the speed of cultivation remained incredibly fast.
In this way, a month quickly passed.
On this day, Ye Tian laughed heartily in this void.
“Hahaha! I’ve finally cultivated the fifth layer of the Chaos Body Refining Technique to the perfected realm!” Ye Tian was incredibly excited.
