Chapter 1720: Buddha World

The four of them were utterly astonished.

They stared in disbelief at the Ruyi Jingu Bang that had appeared before them.

Through his affinity with it, Wu Yu could confirm that this was the genuine article. The other three were also indirectly linked to it, and could also confirm the same thing.

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang seems to have changed. It doesn’t look too stable. Could Taiyi Zhenren have tinkered with it?"

Wu Yu looked at the Ruyi Jingu Bang with some suspicion. He put aside the matter of Ming Long and Nangong Wei for now, and stretched out a hand to the golden rod. He wanted to touch it to see what had changed.

But the Ruyi Jingu Bang was completely out of his control, and began to violently suck up Wu Yu’s apotheosis immortal energy!

Wu Yu’s face paled, but it was too late to back away.

Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi leaped up as well. Before their eyes, the Ruyi Jingu Bang turned into a golden vortex and a strange murmuring voice sounded!

This murmuring voice was one that Wu Yu was all too familiar with. It was the Buddhas’ murmuring when he had been cultivating the Invincible Vajra Body!

The other three were familiar with the sound as well, because they had all heard similar voices while they were cultivating their Mystiques.

The bodhist chanting seemed to come from a special place, as though the Great Sage and his companions’ legacies and Mystiques were all held within.

"Seems like another world?"

Wu Yu could not resist, and could only be sucked in passively.

Before he could speculate any further, the four of them were sucked into the golden vortex and disappeared from the face of Mettle Sky. Even the returned Ruyi Jingu Bang vanished as well!

In the moment they vanished, there was a disturbance in the void next to them. Two figures in Bodhi’s Palace.

They were the Patriarch Bodhi and Taiyi Zhenren.

"Taiyi Zhenren? What brings you here?" The Patriarch Bodhi looked up, surprised that Taiyi Zhenren had come.

"I’m looking for Wu Yu." Taiyi Zhenren was quite puzzled. Given his abilities, it was inconceivable that he could not find Wu Yu.

"What business with him?" Patriarch Bodhi was surprised.

"Bodhi, you know Wu Yu’s epochal immortal treasure, the Ruyi Jingu Bang? I was examining it, when it suddenly flew away by itself!" Taiyi Zhenren was completely confused.

"It flew away by itself?"

Patriarch Bodhi was astonished. "A mere epochal immortal treasure - escaped from your hands? I can’t believe it!"

"Yeah, I’m not thrilled about it either! The Ruyi Jingu Bang must have come back to find your disciple Wu Yu. Do you know where he is?" Taiyi Zhenren fretted.

He was very interested in such treasures, and had finally secured an interesting epochal immortal treasure after much difficulty. He had never come across a runaway epochal immortal treasure before.

"Let’s search for him." Patriarch Bodhi did not know what to do either. The two of them searched for a while, but found nothing.

"What am I to do?" Taiyi Zhenren did not look happy.

The way he saw it, Wu Yu had traded the Ruyi Jingu Bang with him, but now it had flown back and bot of them had vanished. Were they pranking him?

Patriarch Bodhi consoled him. "Zhenren, do not worry. My disciple must be away for some reason. We can ask him when he gets back. Do not worry. We would definitely not take what belongs to Taiyi Zhenren."

"Mm."

Although Taiyi Zhenren was frustrated, he could only acknowledge this. He too knew that the Patriarch Bodhi could not possibly have an ounce of greed in him.

As the disciple of the Patriarch Bodhi, if Wu Yu returned, the Patriarch Bodhi would definitely help to secure the Ruyi Jingu Bang and return it to him.

Besides, the Heavenly Domain was only so big. Where could Wu Yu run to?

He trusted Patriarch Bodhi, and so eventually left, returning to Cave of Golden Light to await word from Patriarch Bodhi.

Wu Yu and the others had no idea about all of this.

As they were sucked into the golden vortex, they appeared in an entirely new world!

This world was completely different from the sky palaces, hells, and Demon Immortal Realm. It was vast, a starry world with no ends!

As they emerged in space, the four were confused and curious. What was this place?

Even in the sky palaces, Wu Yu’s In The Same Breath Mystique could cover half a sky palace instantly. But here in this space, it barely moved him any.

It was not that he could cover less distance here, but rather that this world was just too vast. Wu Yu had no sense of where it ended.

"Look! There!"

Ye Xixi suddenly exclaimed, pointing ahead.

They saw a huge black buddha before their eyes!

This black buddha seemed to be floating in space. It was about the same size as the 90,000 lesser realms in the Heavenly Domain. A gigantic world all by itself!

On the surface of the buddha were innumerable mortals, and also some immortals. It seemed like on this buddha world, there was no difference between the mortal and immortal domain.

What was this place?

The four of them were utterly unprepared. Why had the Ruyi Jingu Bang brought them here?

"Let’s go see."

Wu Yu led the three towards the black buddha. Very soon, they were in the world.

They saw that the mortals and immortals here were not cultivating immortal dao, but all kinds of spiritual arts. They cultivated in a completely different way from mortals in the Heavenly Domain.

It seemed like the Immortality Arts that the four of them practiced; similar to the Invincible Vajra Body, although inferior versions of it.

The mortals in this world all cultivated their bodies until it became bodhi bodies, after which their lifespan increased dramatically like the immortals of the sky palaces.

Of course, to an immortal emperor like Wu Yu, these ordinary bodhis did not count for much. He had yet to see someone here who was stronger than him.

Each bodhi was a little like the immortals in Heavenly Domain who had yet to become immortal emperors. They were at different cultivation realms, and all depending on their Immortality Arts to get further.

Wu Yu was very curious about this place. He could not resist searching the memories of some of these bodhis. Finally he learned that this place was called Heavenly Buddha’s Domain. It was an immortal domain just like Heavenly Domain!

Wu Yu immediately thought of the Mystiques that the four of them cultivated. Including the Invincible Vajra Body, they seemed to adhere to the cultivation of this world.

"Great Way of Immortality Art is an immortality art of Heavenly Buddha’s Domain; Invincible Vajra Body is a spiritual art of Heavenly Buddha’s Domain! These cultivation methods of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal must be linked to the Heavenly Buddha’s Domain."

Wu Yu hypothesized that the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal - and even the Curtain Lifting General, Marshal Tian Peng, and Eight Division Heavenly Dragon - should all have something to do with the Heavenly Buddha’s Domain, given how similar their cultivation was.

"That means my Nine Cycles of Imperial Immortal Body is also from this Heavenly Buddha’s Domain?" Full Moon of Nanshan was astonished. He did not imagine that his power would actually have come from a different and magical world.

Ye Xixi’s Hell Incarnation Avatar, Luo Pin’s Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Avatar - all of it fit right into this world as well.

Their legacies seemed to be a hybrid of both immortal cultivation and buddhist enlightenment.

Like Wu Yu’s Invincible Vajra Body, Ye Xixi’s Hell Incarnation Avatar would also become a sort of "buddha" when it was perfected, albeit a slightly darker type.

The Heavenly Buddha’s Domain seemed slightly smaller than the Heavenly Domain in totality. After all, the Heavenly Domain had sky palaces, hells, and also the destroyed Demon Immortal Realm. The 90,000 lesser realms were also part of Heavenly Domain.

And within Heavenly Buddha’s Domain, there were also immortal buddhas who were on the same level as immortal emperors in Heavenly Domain - they had eternal life after perfecting various techniques!

These immortal buddhas were the rulers of the Heavenly Buddha’s Domain.

Just as Wu Yu was digesting this information, an unfriendly voice boomed out: "You four, what are you still doing in those sullied bodies!"
