Chapter 329 Asura Path
The Relic Pagoda Forest is where Leiyin Temple enshrines the relics of eminent monks throughout history. The area is filled with pagodas, each containing relics left behind by eminent monks after their passing.
Throughout the entire stupa forest, the Buddha's light shines brightly, illuminating everything. Even at night, under the illumination of these relics, it is as bright as day.
Buddhist martial arts are extremely unique. After a high-ranking monk passes away using special methods, he will leave behind something called "relics".
These relics are not only full of energy and can be used to subdue demons and monsters, but can even be used directly as divine weapons and magical artifacts. Moreover, if obtained by someone with profound Buddhist knowledge, and consumed directly, they can directly possess almost all the power that the deceased high monk possessed during his lifetime.
Such miraculous martial arts are unique to Buddhism, found nowhere else in the world. Therefore, Buddhism is always full of masters; the number of Dharma Aspect Realm experts alone is probably unmatched by any other sect in the world.
Even someone like Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a little tempted upon seeing these relics scattered everywhere. With these relics, a group of experts at the Dharma Aspect realm could probably be cultivated immediately.
Of course, Lin Fei came to the stupa forest not for these relics, but to find clues about the reincarnation stele left by the True Martial Emperor.
These relics are tempting, but if I dared to take them, I probably wouldn't be able to leave the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle alive.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Fei began searching for clues about the Reincarnation Stele within the stupa forest.
The Reincarnation Stele is a special small world left behind by the True Martial Emperor after he divided the six realms. It possesses the power to suppress evil spirits.
After obtaining one of the pieces, the Jade Emperor Sect used it as the eighteenth level of the Demon-Subduing Pagoda to suppress evil spirits. Within the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, only the Relic Pagoda Forest of Leiyin Temple could be compared to the Jade Emperor Sect's Demon-Subduing Pagoda.
If there is another Reincarnation Stele in the Southern Tang realm, the most likely possibility is that it is within the Relic Pagoda Forest of Leiyin Temple.
However, Lin Fei searched for a long time within the stupa forest but found no clues whatsoever about the Reincarnation Stele. This made Lin Fei wonder if the only Reincarnation Stele in the Southern Tang territory that he had obtained was the one from the animal realm.
Lin Fei took out the Green Wood Sword and the Spirit Turtle Shell, summoned the true spirits of the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle within, and said to them, "Seniors, this is where the Leiyin Temple Relic Pagoda Forest is located. If the Reincarnation Stone Tablet may exist, it must be hidden somewhere here. Can you sense the aura of the Reincarnation Stone Tablet?"
"Huh, is this a Buddhist site?" Xuan She Zhenling exclaimed softly, "I didn't expect that an ancient Buddhist sect would still exist on such a scale today. These bald monks are truly extraordinary."
The spirit turtle sensed for a moment before shaking its head and saying, "I can't sense anything. The Buddhist energy here is too strong. Even if there are other auras, they are all covered up by this Buddhist energy."
The black snake spoke up, "Boy, walk past each pagoda one by one. If we get closer, we might be able to sense something."
Following the instructions of the Black Serpent, Lin Fei walked past one pagoda after another until he reached a pagoda that shone with an extremely bright light. Suddenly, the Black Serpent's true spirit spoke up and said, "Boy, wait a moment!"
Lin Fei immediately stopped in his tracks: "Senior, could it be that the Reincarnation Stone Tablet is inside this pagoda?"
"It seems so, yet it also seems not." Xuan She Zhen Ling nodded, then shook his head. "Judging from the Buddhist light emanating from this pagoda, what is enshrined inside is at least a relic left by a figure at the Arhat realm. The Buddhist energy is too strong, so I can't say for sure. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Lin Fei followed instructions and pushed open the door to enter the pagoda.
Inside the stupa, there is a relic the size of a fist. This relic emits a dazzling light and the aura emanating from it is extremely powerful.
However, Lin Fei's attention was not on the relic at all. He asked the black snake and the spirit turtle, "Seniors, is the Reincarnation Stele inside this pagoda?"
There are over a thousand stupas in the stupa forest. If one were to search for them one by one carefully, a whole day would not be enough. Lin Fei could only place all his hopes on the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle.
"Go down," the spirit tortoise said in a muffled voice. "There seems to be a very familiar aura, but it's blocked by the Buddhist energy of this relic, so we can't sense it clearly. You should go down!"
Inside the innermost part of the pagoda, there was a passageway leading directly underground. Lin Fei had no idea what lay beneath. However, since the spirit turtle had given its instructions, Lin Fei had no choice but to follow them and continue downwards.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the passageway gradually narrowed, and in front of Lin Fei, a huge stone door appeared, completely blocking the passageway and Lin Fei's way.
Presumably, behind this stone gate lies the place where Leiyin Temple suppresses and seals demons. However, Lin Fei is unsure whether the power used by Leiyin Temple to suppress and seal demons is the Reincarnation Stele left by the True Martial Emperor or the power of the relics of the high monks in the Relic Pagoda Forest.
If the Reincarnation Stele truly exists within the stupa forest, then behind the stone doors of these stupas, there must be one containing the Reincarnation Stele.
If Lin Fei were to open each stone door one by one, not only would there not be enough time, but before he could even find the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Stone Tablet, the three old monks guarding the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle outside would probably kill him on the spot for the crime of releasing demons without permission and harboring treacherous intentions.
Therefore, Lin Fei could only place all his hopes on the Xuan Snake and the Spirit Turtle: "Well, seniors, is the Reincarnation Stele behind this stone gate?"
The black snake and the spirit tortoise exchanged glances, and after a long while, they nodded and said, "If our senses are correct, one of the Reincarnation Stone Tablets is behind this stone door."
The black snake said, "But be careful. I'm afraid the stone tablet behind this stone door won't be so easy to take. If you're not careful, you might end up here yourself."
Lin Fei couldn't help but be surprised: "I wonder which stone tablet is behind this stone gate, and whether it is really so dangerous?"
The spirit of the black serpent pondered, "Although we are blocked by this stone gate, judging from the faint aura we can sense..."
The spirit of the tortoise took over and continued, "It is the Asura Path, the most dangerous of the six paths of reincarnation. Even in ancient times, this place was notoriously dangerous."
Xuan She nodded and said, "That's right. Back then, when the Emperor set up the Six Paths Stone Tablets, he said that the Asura Path Stone Tablet was the most dangerous one. Be careful and don't get yourself caught in it."
Behind this stone door lies the location of the Asura Path Stone Tablet, one of the six stone tablets.
