Chapter 230 - The Great Sage
Merging the two worlds into one was naturally simple, at least for them it was.
This was because they were the most powerful forces in the world.
Now, they just needed to let everyone in the two worlds know about the news.
From now on, the ordinary villagers of the Underworld could escape the fate of being sacrificed!
This was because after the two worlds merged, the Sage realm expert at the center would probably be killed immediately if anyone from the Aboveground World was sacrificed.
With the effort put in by the Sage realm experts, the two worlds quickly merged.
After all, the Sage realm experts were the planners of the world.
At this moment, Lin Ming had covered half the distance.
As time passed, Lin Ming finally arrived at a waterfall.
The gushing waters of the waterfall were extremely powerful! Even a tier 10 expert would be severely injured if they were hit.
At the bottom of the waterfall, however, the water flow was exceptionally calm.
If not for the fact that Lin Ming knew of the exact location, he probably wouldn’t have believed that there the Inheritance of the Victory Buddha was here!
Even if some Sage realm experts could discover the place, the various mechanisms within would prevent them from truly obtaining the inheritance.
“Whoosh!” The Sage realm magical beast that Lin Ming was sitting on leaped into the waterfall.
After entering, Lin Ming was shocked to discover that the set-up inside was as if a family lived here.
However, everything inside was made of stone.
Even the peaches of immortality on the stone table were made of stone.
However, even though everything here was made of stone, there were no signs of corrosion even after the few hundreds of thousands of years. It was apparent that this place was extraordinary.
“Wait for me outside. Don’t come in without my order,” Lin Ming said after getting off the Sage realm magical beast.
“Yes!” The Sage realm magical beast said after taking human form.
Right now, he had no ability to resist Lin Ming’s orders since the power of the contract was too strong.
“You two keep an eye on him,” Lin Ming said to Huo and Shui.
“Yes, Master!” Huo and Shui nodded. Lin Ming’s Bloodline Suppression towards them made it so that they could not resist or have second thoughts.
As the three of them left, Lin Ming began to carefully observe the area.
“Water Curtain Cave!”
When Lin Ming raised his head, he saw three big words appear above his head!
Although the Victory Buddha had powerful combat power back then and had even made the Heavenly Court established by the Emperor be in fright from battles with him, he did not have a divine artifact!
The weapon of the Victory Buddha, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, was only a quasi-divine artifact.
However, this also showed how powerful the Victory Buddha was.
There was no artifact spirit here, so it was naturally more difficult for Lin Ming to find the inheritance.
However, since Lin Ming knew the exact location, it was only a matter of time before he found the inheritance’s mechanism.
That being said, the mechanism to the Inheritance of the Victory Buddha was indeed extremely difficult to find.
Lin Ming searched high and low, but to his surprise, he had not triggered the inheritance here.
“The only things that can be moved n this Water Curtain Cave are these stone peaches,” Lin Ming held a stone peach in his hand and pondered.
“I have a set of steel teeth anyway, might as well try the peach of immortality just like the Great Sage,” Lin Ming opened his mouth and took a bite.
“Mm!” As Lin Ming bit down, a delicious taste filled his mouth.
It could be said that this was the most delicious peach Lin Ming had ever eaten!
Although it was a stone peach, it was also a peach of immortality!
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for eating the peach of immortality. Your lifespan has increased by 500 years!” As Lin Ming ate the peach of immortality, the system’s voice that hadn’t sounded for ages appeared.
Just a single stone peach had given Lin Ming an additional 500 years of lifespan!
If these stone peaches were to be taken into the world, the Sage realm experts would probably go green with envy!
This was because lifespan was the rarest thing in the world!
Furthermore, with an additional 500 years of lifespan, one could accomplish too many things!
“Buzz!”
As Lin Ming ate the peach of immortality, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
“Wha…” Lin Ming watched the sudden change and a suffocating feeling rushed to his head.
There were corpses everywhere!
They were the corpses of monkeys that had been beaten to death.
A figure in monk robes was holding a monkey that had been beaten to death in his arms.
“You’re here?” This figure raised his head and looked at Lin Ming.
“Victory Buddha,” Lin Ming put his palms together and said.
“Sit,” The figure said with an aged voice.
“Yes,” Lin Ming nodded and sat down.
“Never mind,” The Victory Buddha who was clad in monk robes stood up.
As he stood up, all the monkey corpses disappeared.
“The auras of three old friends,” The Victory Buddha approached Lin Ming and said.
“Do you hate the Emperor?” Lin Ming didn’t answer the Victory Buddha. Instead, he asked a question.
“No. After all, everything here wasn’t caused by the Emperor, but by the Cassock on me,” The Victory Buddha shook his head and said.
“I can’t take this Cassock off,” The Victory Buddha tugged at the Cassock, but it didn’t move at all.
“I have become stronger, but my faith is gone,” The Victory Buddha sat on the ground again.
“Are you here to receive my inheritance?” Looking at Lin Ming, the Victory Buddha asked.
“Since your faith is gone, I’ll take my leave,” Lin Ming stood up and made a farewell gesture.
“My inheritance isn’t faith. You should know my inheritance is far superior to that of the God of Fire’s and the Diagram Spirit’s. After all, I beat the crap out of them,” When the Victory Buddha heard Lin Ming’s words, he stood up in surprise.
To think that Lin Ming rejected his inheritance!
This was a God-tier inheritance!
Furthermore, the quality of his inheritance was extremely high!
“After all, I don’t want to have to wear a Cassock just for an inheritance,” Lin Ming bowed and prepared to leave.
“Hahaha, good, very good!” The eyes of the Victory Buddha finally came to life.
“This isn’t what the three of them told you to do, right?” The Victory Buddha came before Lin Ming and asked.
“Of course not. I simply refuse to wear this Cassock for the rest of my life,” Lin Ming said.
The Cassock represented shackles, something that Lin Ming did not wish for as long as he lived!
“The Cassock is good in its way, but faith is more important,” The Victory Buddha stood in front of Lin Ming.
“I am the Grand Sage!” As he spoke, the Cassock on his body started to burn!
What replaced it was a long robe!
The Victory Buddha was now clad in golden armor, with peacock feathers on his head!
