He lived in a desolate mountain, which was the most remote place in Beishan Main City. Indeed, there was nothing in the desolate mountain. From the ruins, it was not difficult to see what had been lived there before, but that was all in the past.
As Rainbow had said, not far to the east, there was indeed an abandoned temple. There was nothing unusual about the temple. Even when Yang Chen stood inside it, he still could not detect anything strange.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask Rainbow, who had already entered the Eight Extremes River Space, “Rainbow, you said there is something unusual about this temple, but I didn’t observe anything. Why is that?”
“Young Master, you naturally wouldn’t be able to detect it.” Rainbow giggled, “Actually, I can’t detect it either. It was Elder Yun Lu of our tribe who just now, using divine soul power comparable to the True Martial Realm, carefully observed the temple at least three or five times before finally noticed any clues.”
“Oh? So that’s what happened?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, “What kind of mystery does this temple have that even someone with divine soul power comparable to the True Martial Realm took so long to observe it?”
Yang Chen’s thoughts began to stir.
Honestly speaking, if there is something within the temple requiring a True Martial Realm powerhouse, it’s best not to explore with his current ability. After all, he is still some distance away from the Origin Martial Realm, let alone the lofty True Martial Realm.
The gap was too large!
Rainbow’s actions just now were correct; discovering the anomalies without rash action was the right choice.
If one was too impatient to act and touched something taboo, there would be nowhere to cry.
“Young Master, do you want to inquire further?” Rainbow asked curiously.
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, instinctively not wanting to explore further. However, after pondering in his mind for a moment, he felt that if he did not enter the tiger’s den, he would not gain anything. If he didn’t have the desire and the idea to explore the unknown, how could he explore more significant and more unknown things in the future?
The most critical point was that this was Beishan Main City. He now had a few hidden cards and was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. If things don’t work out, he could divert the trouble and let Beishan Main City handle it. He said, “It’s alright to explore, where is the problem, Rainbow, tell me.”
“Young Master, did you see the two empty eye sockets on the Buddha statue?” Rainbow said.
“Yes, I saw them.” Yang Chen couldn’t help but say.
Temples usually have Buddha statues, and the eye sockets of the Buddha statue in this temple were empty, as if they had been deliberately dug out by someone.
Rainbow explained, “These two empty eye sockets of the Buddha statue are actually hidden about nine feet below the ground. However, it’s unclear what connection they have with the Buddha statue. Even if the eye beads were thrown on the ground, they wouldn’t feel anything. The reason Elder Yun Lu became suspicious was that the surface of the eye beads had a prohibition, which could block the divine soul’s power. Unless a divine soul far surpassing the ordinary True Martial Realm carefully observes here, it would be challenging to detect.”
The Fishpeople Tribe specialized in the path of divine souls, and thanks to the Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pill, Yun Lu’s divine soul attainment had surpassed that of the normal True Martial Realm.
“Oh? A prohibition was deliberately set up in these eye beads to block the detection of divine soul energy? No wonder no one has ever discovered the anomaly in this temple.”
Without giving it much thought, Yang Chen decided to investigate the matter thoroughly; he launched his Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear and blasted a hole in the ground.
A nine-foot distance was not a difficult task for him. Within a short time, he found the golden Buddha statue eye beads three feet below the ground.
It wasn’t too hard to find; it’s just that no one ever thought to look underground normally.
Even if they did find it, without using divine soul detection, it would be tough to guess the connection between the Buddha statue’s eye beads and the divine soul prohibition.
From what he could see, the reason the Buddha’s eye beads were placed separately from the statue seemed to be someone’s deliberate move, but Yang Chen didn’t know what the purpose was.
Yang Chen secretly sighed at the benefits the Fishpeople Tribe had brought to him. Holding the two eye beads in his hand, he carefully placed them back into the empty sockets of the Buddha statue.
The eye beads matched perfectly with the eye sockets, almost seamlessly connected.
It was precisely when the golden eye beads were inserted into the eye sockets of the Buddha statue that Yang Chen, on full alert, quickly stepped back. If there was any movement threatening him, he would immediately respond without hesitation.
However, to his surprise, when the Buddha statue and the golden eye beads merged, nothing dangerous happened.
It was only after about three or four breaths that the Buddha statue’s eyes began to emit an intense golden light.
Immediately afterward, a phantom gradually floated out from within the Buddha statue, appearing in Yang Chen’s line of sight.
When he saw the phantom, Yang Chen’s expression changed, and he retreated a step in surprise.
The phantom was a man wearing a yellow robe. It was not difficult to analyze that it was a remnant of divine soul power sealed within the Buddha statue, barely surviving.
It was this seal that had kept the divine soul energy from being consumed too much.
Yang Chen heard from Rainbow that this divine soul power was at least as strong as the True Martial Realm. If it were to attack him with full force, unless he used the power of the Fishpeople Tribe, it would be quite a big problem.
The Soul Man, now emerging, had eyes full of reluctance: “Many years have passed, and my divine soul, Huang Taiji, has finally seen the light of day again. Descendant, are you the one who released me? What year and month is it now?”
Yang Chen relayed the current year and month to the Soul Man after pondering for a while.
Upon hearing the date, the Soul Man sighed, then said, “So I’ve been dead for over a thousand years? How sad, how pitiful…”
“Over a thousand years?” Yang Chen was stunned, “You’ve been dead for over a thousand years?”
“Judging from your tone, it seems you recognize me?” the Soul Man asked curiously.
Yang Chen cupped his hands, “Senior Huang Taiji’s reputation is well-known. Back in the Spirit Martial Realm, you managed to reach the eighteenth floor of the Trial Tower before entering the Origin Martial Realm. Such an incredible achievement still ranks second after a thousand years, with no one surpassing it.”
Indeed, the man before him was Huang Taiji, the one who ranked second among the top twenty floors of the Trial Tower.
Hearing this, the Soul Man gave a bitter smile, “A thousand years have passed, and no one has surpassed my ranking? How pathetic. What has Beishan Main City been doing all these years? It’s been a thousand years… Eh, you, this young fellow, are very talented, and have a remarkable background. Beishan Main City has picked up a good genius.”
Yang Chen replied awkwardly, “Senior Huang, you’re mistaken. I am not from Beishan Main City.”
