Chapter 1776 - Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple
“Not a problem,” Qin Nan agreed without any hesitation. He immediately unleashed his immortal force and hurled his fists at Xiu
“Qin Nan, you…”
Xiu Shenliang was startled.
“Xiu Shenliang, I’m sorry, it’s a favor that Doom has requested,” Qin Nan said with a calm smile.
He might hesitate if Doom was asking for some other favor, but this Xiu Shenliang had mocked him many times too. Qin Nan had long waited for an excuse to beat him up too.
“Ah? Doom? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, didn’t I only mock him a little? We are on the same boat now, how could he be so vengeful…Blood-Eye, Eight Brilliance, Yuanji, help me!” Xiu Shenliang cursed while screaming for help.
He had nowhere to hide on the stairs. He could only take the hits directly.
“Serves him well!”
“Qin Nan, focus on his face!”
“Qin Nan, are you feeling tired? Do you need any help!?”
Not only were the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the others not helping, they even cheered for Qin Nan and even had the urge to join in the fun too.
They had long waited for the chance.
“You bunch of a.s.sholes, how could you even do this…ah, don’t you force me, if I’m really mad…Qin Nan, don’t hit my face…Eight Brilliance, what are you doing!?”
Initially, it was only Qin Nan beating Xiu Shenliang up, but the others eventually joined in the fun too. They finally stopped after Xiu Shenliang’s face was completely swollen.
Xiu Shenliang was a little depressed, but he was not furious nor nursing grievance against them.
As the saying went, one would eventually get burned if they kept playing with fire. He was beaten up a lot of times because of his bad habit of mocking others.
Besides, Qin Nan, Eight Brilliance, and the others were already very kind to him. They never mistreated him despite his mere cultivation of the peak Human Immortal Realm.
Any other cultivators would have cast him aside by now.
“However, I will get my revenge from Doom when the time comes…” Xiu Shenliang said while clenching his teeth.
They continued on their way and came to a stop after some time.
They had reached the end of the Dao-Crossing Immortal Stairs.
They looked ahead and saw nothing but whiteness in the surroundings, apart from a huge temple over three thousand zhang wide and three hundred zhang tall floating amid it. The temple was made of some kind of ancient wood.
They did not sense any aura from the temple, but it had a sacred presence. One would subconsciously feel respectful before it, and would not dare to do anything reckless in its presence.
“Huh, what the h.e.l.l is this!?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out. As a demon cultivator, he felt restrained and uncomfortable standing in front of the temple.
“This temple is no ordinary place. Even I feel a little suppressed.”
Doom’s eyes flickered with astonishment.
“This temple…could it be one of the Eight Primordial Temples, the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple?”
Yuanji inspected the temple. His eyes suddenly widened when he discovered something. His face was filled with disbelief.
“Eight Primordial Temples? What do you mean?” Qin Nan and the others asked.
“Us Bodhi cultivators have our own Bodhi artifacts. They are mostly flesh relics, kasayas, staffs, wooden fish, ma.n.u.scripts, prayer beads, statues, and some are in the form of temples like these.”
Yuanji’s eyes glittered as he added, “The Eight Primordial Temples are refined by nature. They possess unusual powers, and every time each of them appear, they would summon a Bodhi Supreme.”
“Especially this Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple, rumors say that it has already surpa.s.sed the level of Dao Weapon.”
The hearts of Qin Nan and the others shuddered.
The ancient temple in front of them had surpa.s.sed the level of Dao Weapon?
“F**k, Did I really waste so much time for a Bodhi artifact!?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was a little disappointed.
Was the demonic roar when they first discovered the place part of the illusion at the Icy Snow Corpse Valley?
“Hehe, Eight Brilliance, it’s a superb discovery!”
Yuanji was excited.
He had already made up his mind. He would refine the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple when he had the chance.
“We’ll talk later, let’s take a look inside.”
Qin Nan soon calmed his thoughts. He led the way and entered the ancient temple.
The others quickly followed behind.
However, they gasped as soon as they entered the temple and saw what was inside it. Even Doom opened his eyes and mouth wide too.
There was no Buddhism statue inside the temple, not even a single thing that was related to Buddhism.
Its inside was in a complete mess with junks scattered across the place.
There were stone tablets, ancient paintings, figurines, beast statues, stone ponds, broken weapons, and many others. However the thing that caught their attention was an ancient altar less than three zhang tall at the center of the temple.
Above the altar stood a white jade mirror. A drop of blood was floating around eight inches down from its top.
It was a drop of pitch-black demon blood with an ancient presence!
The demonic blood was not emitting any aura. It was impossible to see what it was using eye-techniques too.
The drop of demonic blood would not attract any attention if it was discovered somewhere else.
However, it had appeared in a Buddhism artifact that was one of the Eight Primordial Temples and had surpa.s.sed the level of Dao Weapon, the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple!
On top of it, it was located at the center of the temple. Judging from the altar and the huge mess in the temple, the demon blood was not suppressed here. It was being nurtured instead!
Everyone knew that the Buddha and the demons would never coexist!
Yet how was it possible that the demon blood was being nurtured inside the ancient temple?
It clearly indicated that the demon blood’s level had surpa.s.sed that of the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple. Even the great Buddhism artifact had to submit itself to the demon blood!
“Holy c.r.a.p, is…is this some kind of illusion again?”
Even Yuanji could not help but curse after seeing it. He subconsciously took a step back as he was struggling to believe what he had just seen.
“HAHAHA, I knew Heavens wouldn’t let me down. I knew there’s an incredible loot related to demon cultivation here!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor burst out laughing.
His eyes were burning pa.s.sionately.
As an Immortal Emperor pursuing the path of demon cultivation, he was well aware of the level beyond the Nine Heavens Supreme!
The drop of blood might even be the blood essence of such existence.
If he could secure the blood, he might turn over a new life and obtain some extraordinary powers. He could surely become a Nine Heavens Supreme!
“Wait, look over there, the statues!”
Doom blurted out in excitement. He totally forgot to transmit his voice into Qin Nan’s mind. His voice echoed in the temple.
Qin Nan and the others subconsciously looked into the direction Doom was referring to.
Not far from them were six statues. Two of them resembled a strange human figure, while the other four represented four different beasts. They were all vivid and lively, and they could sense how ferocious the beasts were from their savage appearance.
“Are those…four of the Ten Primordial Evils?”
Yuanji asked in a probing manner.
