Chapter 1384: The Sitting Buddha Statue
Lin Moyu took out Xu Qingyang's soul orb. At this moment, Xu Qingyang was still unconscious, still in a deep sleep. However, his soul body was intact, with no major issues.
Zhu Qiwu looked very satisfied and put the soul orb away. Then he reached out, and a piece of flesh flew out from the corpse of the Flame Demon. Similarly, a piece of flesh also flew out from the corpse of the Stone Demon God Sovereign.
"These two pieces of flesh are something I specifically left behind. Both are from second-rank God Sovereigns. You can keep them."
Lin Moyu was overjoyed and unceremoniously put the pieces of flesh away. These were trump cards. Including the corpse of the Nightmare God Sovereign, Lin Moyu now had three God Sovereign corpses.
It seemed that even when facing low-rank God Sovereigns, he wouldn't need to be overly cautious. But if the God Sovereign used some means, like the Flame Demon, making it impossible for him to lock onto the soul, he would still be very restricted.
His realm was too low, always somewhat constrained and limited in many ways. Especially when facing the Law Star River of a God Sovereign, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
Zhu Qiwu took out his vehicle and got in, with Lin Moyu following him. This powerful warship, capable of contending with God Sovereigns, carried the two of them back to the human territory.
Zhu Qiwu took out a jade tablet, which, when activated, emitted a hazy light. This jade tablet could record images, sounds, and various information, something Lin Moyu had used before.
"Tell me about your experiences in the Yellow Earth Desert in detail. The more detailed, the better. I need to apply for a reward for you when we get back."
This mission was not an ordinary one, and the rewards were not fixed. Zhu Qiwu needed to report Lin Moyu's experiences in the Yellow Earth Desert to the Human Emperor Network and compare them with the information recorded in his battlefield tablet. Only then could they calculate the appropriate reward.
Lin Moyu immediately recounted his experiences in the Yellow Earth Desert, leaving nothing out, neither exaggerating nor downplaying, just narrating the entire process plainly.
Zhu Qiwu listened with wide eyes, "No wonder the demons went to such great lengths and put you at the top of their must-kill list."
"Jinhui was killed by you in such a manner. What a suffocating death." Zhu Qiwu knew that Jinhui had been killed by Lin Moyu; otherwise, Jinshi wouldn't have taken action. But he had already informed the big figures in the human clan, so Jinshi had no chance to deal with Lin Moyu. With Jinhui dead, Jinshi lost his offspring, making it difficult for him to split the clan in the future.
The Stone Demons valued their lineage, and this was a significant blow to Jinshi. Moreover, after Lin Moyu wiped out the Stone Demons, there was almost no fresh blood left in the Stone Demon clan. It would be difficult for the Stone Demons to produce another God Sovereign within a thousand years. The Stone Demons suffered the greatest loss.
After hearing Lin Moyu talk about his experiences in the Nether Swamp, Zhu Qiwu finally understood what was going on there. Since the chaotic rules first appeared a thousand years ago, Xu Qingyang and others had entered the Nether Swamp once. For the next thousand years, no one entered the Nether Swamp until this time. Therefore, no race knew anything about the Nether Swamp.
Lin Moyu brought back new information this time, especially about the ancient war, which was of great significance. Zhu Qiwu knew that the high-level figures of the human clan and other strong clans had a strong desire to know about the ancient times. They wanted to know what happened in ancient times, seemingly searching for something.
Unfortunately, Zhu Qiwu's level was not high enough to know the real details. From what he knew, anything related to ancient times was highly valuable. Even a small piece of information could fetch a considerable reward, let alone the complete information Lin Moyu obtained. The reward would be even more astonishing.
Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, you mentioned before that there was a great war in the great world during ancient times. Was what I saw that war?"
Zhu Qiwu thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "What you saw should be just a small skirmish in that great war."
"I don't know the specific details. Only the truly big figures are pursuing those things."
"Chasing after those things now is meaningless for you. You should focus on improving your strength and realm."
Lin Moyu knew Zhu Qiwu was looking out for him. Curiosity killed the cat; he shouldn't touch things that didn't belong to him.
At this moment, Lin Moyu took out a Buddha statue. The statue emitted a Buddha light, and for a moment, the space inside the warship was filled with the sound of Buddha.
Zhu Qiwu's face changed slightly, "The Sitting Buddha Statue."
Lin Moyu asked, "So this is called the Sitting Buddha Statue. What is its use?"
Zhu Qiwu examined the statue and said solemnly, "That little Ming Wang Bodhisattva has big ambitions."
Lin Moyu perked up his ears, showing a listening posture.
Zhu Qiwu explained, "The Buddhist clan is somewhat different from other races in the great world. They have a unique cultivation method, and even their realm system has slight differences."
"In the Buddhist clan, after becoming a small Buddha, there are two choices: one is to become a Buddha on the spot, stepping into the Buddha realm, equivalent to our God Sovereign realm."
"The other choice is to condense a Buddha Kingdom. Once the Buddha Kingdom is formed, they can then step into the Buddha realm. A Buddha with a Buddha Kingdom and one without are completely different, with a vast difference in strength."
"However, condensing a Buddha Kingdom is extremely difficult, so very few in the Buddhist clan choose this path."
Lin Moyu said, "Are you saying that the little Ming Wang Bodhisattva wants to condense a Buddha Kingdom?"
Zhu Qiwu patiently explained, "He indeed wants to condense a Buddha Kingdom, but it's too difficult, so he wants to obtain this Sitting Buddha Statue."
"The Sitting Buddha Statue is formed by a Buddha who condensed all his power before death, creating the statue."
"The statue contains all the essence of a Buddha, making it an invaluable treasure for a small Buddha, far surpassing ordinary God Sovereign-level treasures."
"If he can absorb the Buddha power within, he has a chance to condense a Buddha Kingdom and become a Buddha with a Buddha Kingdom."
"Moreover, if a Buddhist wants to break through the Buddha realm and reach a higher level, they must condense a Buddha Kingdom. So his ambition is not small."
Lin Moyu understood that the little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had told half the truth and hidden some details. But he hadn't told the whole truth either, so it balanced out. If there were any future consequences, Lin Moyu wasn't afraid; he would deal with them as they came.
Lin Moyu asked, "So, does this statue have any use for us?"
Zhu Qiwu gave Lin Moyu a strange smile, "The Sitting Buddha Statue can only be used by the Buddhist clan. But on another level, it's an excellent material, even among God Sovereign-level materials."
Lin Moyu immediately understood and put the Buddha statue away. Since it was a material, he could try using it to summon an Elemental Lich. Maybe he could summon a Buddha Lich, which would be interesting.
Lin Moyu had already figured it out. The small Buddha who entered the Nether Swamp with Xu Qingyang had become a Buddha on the spot before dying, stepping into the Buddha realm. But it was too late; he could only condense all his essence into the statue, waiting for a fated person in the future. Unexpectedly, that fated person turned out to be Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu decided to use it to summon an Elemental Lich. If it worked, great; if not, he would find a way to sell it. Selling it to the Buddhist clan would fetch a high price. Just this statue alone made the trip worthwhile.
After some thought, Lin Moyu finally asked about Yu Qingrou.
