"Great Thunderclap Temple, there really is a Great Thunderclap Temple. Is that the bodhi tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment?"
Ye Fan looked at the plaque above the temple and then at the withered tree beside it. His heart was even more shocked, and he became increasingly convinced that what that person said was true: Cultivation civilization indeed existed in the Mortal World.
Tian Hao had already dug out the Bodhi Seed and plucked the only six Bodhi Leaves remaining on the bodhi tree.
"Chew them and swallow!"
He gave four Bodhi Leaves to the two of them, and swallowed the last two himself.
The effect of the bodhi tree was similar to that of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. The leaves should all have some effect, and they also contained a lot of vital energy. This stuff would definitely be much stronger than the hundred herbs liquid from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.
Ye Fan took and ate them, and immediately felt the difference. He felt his mind clear, and his thoughts became much more agile.
"As expected of the legendary Tree of Wisdom!"
He sighed in his heart. The bodhi tree was also known as the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Enlightenment, the Tree of Thought, and so on. Legend had it that it could awaken one's divinity and self-awareness.
Although this bodhi tree looked as if it had withered, the remaining leaves still had extraordinary effects.
Pang Bo also ate the two Bodhi Leaves, finding the sensation very novel.
Afterward, the three entered the Great Thunderclap Temple and looked around. Ye Fan immediately saw the bronze lamp.
This lamp was clearly extraordinary. There was a thick layer of dust all around, but this bronze lamp had no dust whatsoever. Most importantly, the flame within it still burned, as if it could last forever.
"Don't move!"
Ye Fan instinctively wanted to pick up the bronze lamp, but Tian Hao stopped him.
"It is said that the area beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple is not a good place. The Buddha's Dao field turning into its current state must be strange, but only the Great Thunderclap Temple itself remains intact, which must have a deeper reason.
Don't touch things indiscriminately here. It's enough for us to take these three broken Magical Artifacts for self-defense."
As he spoke, he handed a specially found broken small bronze bell and half a Jade Ruyi to the two, while he held half a vajra pestle in his hand.
"This is still a place of great danger?"
Pang Bo, who received the small bronze bell, almost turned green. He vigilantly stared at his surroundings.
And thinking about it carefully, something was indeed wrong here. Earlier on the road, they had seen withered bones, with a hole in the skull. It looked like a very unsettling death.
Ye Fan, who received half a Jade Ruyi, also became vigilant. He came here to seek immortality and Dao, and did not want to die young.
"With the Buddha's statue and these Magical Artifacts suppressing it, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Tian Hao said as he walked forward and placed the Bodhi Seed in the Buddha's palm.
That's right, he wanted to change the plot here and seize a wave of Destiny Power.
In his opinion, it was precisely because Ye Fan and the others took away those Magical Artifacts, especially the most crucial Bodhi Seed, Heart Lamp, and Sarira Prayer Beads, that the Great Thunderclap Temple's suppression effect on the Crocodile Ancestor weakened, allowing the Crocodile Ancestor to find an opportunity to escape.
Otherwise, the Crocodile Ancestor wouldn't have come out neither early nor late, but precisely when all the Magical Artifacts were taken away. That was definitely not a coincidence.
So, taking Magical Artifacts for self-defense was fine, but they couldn't take too many, and they absolutely couldn't touch those few crucial Magical Artifacts.
He even specifically dug out the Bodhi Seed and placed it here. This was the most crucial item, and it had absorbed all the power of the bodhi tree outside, causing the bodhi tree to wither.
One must know that Undying Medicines were all manifestations of the Dao Fruit of an immortal in their perfect state. It was precisely because of this that the fruits they bore could allow a Great Emperor to live another lifetime.
Because immortals could naturally produce immortal substances, such as the Mortal World Immortals during the Sheltering Heaven period.
And now, this Bodhi Seed had devoured all the essence of the bodhi tree's power, which was equivalent to the Nirvana of the bodhi tree.
With an Undying Medicine blessing and suppressing it, he didn't believe the Crocodile Ancestor could still break out.
Furthermore, even if it couldn't be suppressed indefinitely, it didn't matter, as they wouldn't be staying here for long anyway.
As for the energy needed to activate the altar, it could be solved by killing the Divine Crocodiles. There were quite a few Divine Crocodiles here.
If it really didn't work, they could still rush back with the three broken Magical Artifacts in their hands and take all the Magical Artifacts to the altar to provide energy.
Simply put, this was an attempt.
Moreover, these three broken Magical Artifacts themselves were not weak, especially the half vajra pestle in his hand, which was the last broken Magical Artifact that could still retain a bit of power.
Of course, the most important point was having the protagonist Ye Fan by his side. It was estimated that the Ruthless Great Emperor's gaze must be focused here at this moment and would not let Ye Fan die. By staying with Ye Fan, he would also have some protection, allowing him to make some bold attempts.
"I'll set up the offerings. You two look around to see if there are any Secret Manuals or Cultivation methods."
Taking out the eight auspicious objects he brought and placing them on the table, Tian Hao gestured for the two to look elsewhere in the temple.
"There are no written books or anything like that here."
The two carefully searched around with their flashlights but found no Cultivation Secret Manuals or anything of the sort. They didn't even see any text.
"Buddha, we are merely passing by and borrowing three of your Magical Artifacts for self-defense. We hope you will not be offended. If we can return here someday, we will surely prepare even better offerings for you!"
The three put their palms together towards the Buddha statue, bowed devoutly, and then slowly exited the Great Thunderclap Temple.
Glancing at the unchanged light shield, Tian Hao came to sit cross-legged under the bodhi tree, consuming Destiny Power to activate the Golden Finger's Comprehension Ability enhancement.
He tried to focus his attention on his abdomen, sensing the existence of the Wheel of Life.
The bodhi tree was an Undying Medicine after all, and its leaves were also extraordinary. This was like the Enlightenment Tea Tree. He was just an ordinary person, most likely a mortal body, so the difficulty of opening the Wheel Sea Secret Realm would naturally be much lower.
Two Bodhi Leaves should be enough. By now, the two leaves in his stomach should have been mostly digested and absorbed. He felt his whole body warm and bloated, which was a good time to try to break through.
At least, he could use this opportunity to sense the existence of the Wheel of Life.
At the same time, only by obtaining Magical Artifacts from the Great Thunderclap Temple for self-defense could he Cultivate with peace of mind. Otherwise, being ambushed and killed by a Divine Crocodile would be tragic.
Indeed, his guess was correct. The vital essence of the Bodhi Leaf and the awakened divine effect allowed him to open the Wheel Sea Secret Realm and sense the existence of the Wheel of Life.
It was at this moment that the half vajra pestle in his hand suddenly erupted with brilliant golden and electric light, covering his body. Some of it even entered his body, allowing him to comprehend an indestructible Divine Power, which should be the Divine Power of the vajra pestle itself.
Opening his eyes, Tian Hao understood that a Divine Crocodile must have ambushed him, causing the vajra pestle to act on its own.
"What the heck is that?"
Just then, Pang Bo exclaimed. Tian Hao and Ye Fan looked over and saw a black tide approaching, giving them a very bad feeling.
"Is there really a backlash?"
He picked up the binoculars hanging on his chest and looked, discovering countless Divine Crocodiles. Because there were so many of them, from a distance, they looked like a tide.
The number was far, far greater than described in the original plot. It was likely that all the Divine Crocodiles on Mars had come, very possibly a backlash from him changing so much.
"I can only Transmigrate now!"
He had originally wanted to open up a bit of the Bitter Sea, but now it seemed there was no time. He could only Transmigrate to another world first to develop stealthily for a while.
According to the information transmitted to his mind by the Golden Finger, this kind of Transmigration was only a Transmigration of the true spirit consciousness, not carrying the Soul and body.
However, the Transmigration of the true spirit consciousness could also bring some things, such as memories. At least, in the new world, he could train himself to become a true warrior, so that he could better deal with so many Divine Crocodiles afterward.
At the same time, this Transmigration was temporal. Transmigration and return happened in an instant, so there was no need to worry about his body being eaten by those Divine Crocodiles after he Transmigrated.
Now, it depended on what world he would Transmigrate to again and whether he could obtain power from there. Even if there was no special power, it didn't matter.
He now needed more time to comprehend the Bronze Coffin Ancient Scripture and Original True Solution given by Desolate Heaven Emperor. As the saying goes, what the milk baby produces must be a masterpiece. If he could gain some comprehension from it, he would definitely be able to open the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, open up the Bitter Sea, and evolve the essence of the swallowed Bodhi Leaves into Divine Power.
With Divine Power to activate them, Magical Artifacts could unleash greater power, and he could even control the power of Magical Artifacts, which was better than their instinctive break out in the original plot.
