Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1009: Chapter 653: Divine Position (Extra for Alliance Leader Rain Tomb)_2 Chapter 1009: Chapter 653: Divine Position (Extra for Alliance Leader Rain Tomb)_2 The Fire Buddha swore angrily as he walked toward the altar.

No one was around, and his heart full of fury, he stopped pretending to cultivate or hiding beneath that hypocritical veil of Buddhist law. His words were vulgar and coarse.

But in an instant, the evil Qi on his body intensified.

The Fire Buddha trembled all over, seemingly unable to suppress the malevolent evil Qi within. His lips turned white, his breathing erratic, and his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

He had to stop in his tracks and sit in meditation, bringing his palms together while chanting “Amitabha Buddha.”

“My Buddha’s mercy, deliver me from this suffering…”

“All worldly attachments are empty, and sentient beings are caught in the cycle of life and death…”

“Even if I have killed countless people, by laying down the butcher’s knife, I too can be redeemed…”

…

The Fire Buddha “brainwashed” himself several times and finally calmed his emotions, the evil Qi receded within, his expression neither joyous nor sad.

He then slowly stood up and continued walking toward the altar.

Arriving in front of the altar, the Fire Buddha knelt down with reverence.

“My great task is unfulfilled, I am just a step away from success, please forgive me, esteemed Master…”

“The ignorant and foolish people, not knowing the truth of this world, have destroyed the magnificent work of the Holy Temple…”

“They will pay the price…”

“But before that happens, this place will be sealed in dust. One day in the future, it shall emerge once more under the sun, and I will offer sacrifices for our esteemed Master again…”

“Esteemed Master, forgive me…”

The Fire Buddha bowed his head again.

Mo Hua listened quietly from behind, his brows tightly furrowed.

Why is it ‘esteemed Master’?

And who is this ‘esteemed Master’?

He had thought that this was an altar of the Master of the Great Wilderness.

Because that was the only Evil God he recognized.

Is this ‘esteemed Master’ an alias of the Master of the Great Wilderness?

Or some other Heavenly Demon?

As Mo Hua pondered, he suddenly saw the Fire Buddha bowing his head, searching for something on the ground.

After a moment, he flicked a piece of brick on the ground.

With a flicker of light, a thick, ancient book appeared in the hands of the Fire Buddha.

Mo Hua looked on in shock.

The Meteor Fire Skill Secret Manual!

Was that ordinary-looking brick a secret storage space?

Mo Hua’s heart grew bitter.

He had been careless!

Why hadn’t he thought of this?

He thought that if the Fire Buddha was going to hide something, he would secure it with a Formation, but never did he imagine that instead of using a Formation, a simple storage brick would be used to conceal his Secret Manual.

Mo Hua felt helpless.

He had been at a disadvantage because of his high level of proficiency in Formation.

Always thinking about solving problems with Formation.

He failed to understand the difficulties of those cultivators who were not adept at Formation.

A good swimmer drowns, a good Formation master can also overlook something.

Mo Hua took this as a cautionary lesson.

The Fire Buddha, in the presence of Mo Hua, unfolded the Meteor Fire Skill Secret Manual. It was densely packed with various Skill Pattern details and accompanied by detailed illustrations.

Mo Hua coveted what he saw.

What a pity that he only got a fleeting glance and couldn’t make out exactly what was written on the Secret Manual.

Mo Hua was very anxious.

This slight emotional fluctuation was immediately detected by the Fire Buddha.

He was naturally suspicious and had cultivated evil Qi, making him extremely sensitive to people’s emotions.

“Who’s there?!”

The Fire Buddha exclaimed.

Mo Hua immediately ducked down, holding his breath and concentrating his spirit.

The Fire Buddha stood up and released his Divine Sense, searching around the altar.

At first, Mo Hua was a bit worried, but after a while, seeing that the Fire Buddha showed no sign of activity, not even sweeping his Divine Sense near him, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Mo Hua stealthily lifted his head and saw the Fire Buddha looking around with a face full of evil Qi.

But he only dared to search back and forth outside the altar, never coming within a zhang of it.

It seemed that the altar was absolutely off-limits.

One must not trespass, nor gaze upon it, and Divine Sense was also forbidden to spy…

Mo Hua muttered in his heart:

“Is this Fire Buddha really that scared?”

“It’s just an altar, I’ve sat on it and nothing happened…”

Mo Hua thought it over and found an excuse for the Fire Buddha.

The Fire Buddha was within the system of Demon Cultivators, so he had to be mindful of this ‘esteemed Master’.

Since he wasn’t a Demon Cultivator and was outside the system, he didn’t have to mind these hierarchical distinctions…

After a while, the Fire Buddha found nothing.

Mo Hua was naturally neat in his methods.

Not to mention that around the altar, some key items had already been destroyed, so there was nothing left that could give him away.

The Fire Buddha frowned.

“My mind is disturbed by the evil Qi, so my suspicions have grown heavier…”

“Yes, that’s it…”

The Fire Buddha murmured, “This is the altar of the esteemed Master, it couldn’t possibly be touched by outsiders, nor would it allow others to defile it…”

“Yes, that’s it…”

Gradually, the Fire Buddha’s emotions settled again.

He closed the Meteor Fire Skill Secret Manual, intending to put it into his pocket, but after thinking it over, he decided to put it back into the storage brick in the floor.

A battle was likely to ensue.

The safest place was right under the altar of the esteemed Master.

Afterward, the Fire Buddha sat down and took out a bright red flesh and blood Pill from his chest, swallowing it and slowly refining it.

His flesh wriggled and began to heal.

His aura was also gradually growing stronger.

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart.

What kind of Pill was this? Its recovery effect was so strong?

An Evil Pill?

What if he quickly regained his strength and Uncle Gu couldn’t defeat him?

Uncle Gu wouldn’t really be killed by him, would he?

Most importantly, if he doesn’t leave this place, how am I supposed to steal from him?

“I need to find a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain…”

Without a second thought, Mo Hua sent a message to Gu Changhuai:

“Uncle Gu.”

Gu Changhuai: “Where are you? The Fire Buddha has disappeared, you…”

Mo Hua: “I know where the Fire Buddha is.”

Gu Changhuai’s expression changed, and then he immediately asked:

“Where?”

Mo Hua: “At the back of the great hall’s mural, on the lower right corner, take ten steps to the left, there’s a mountain path entrance, just push it to come in…”
