Chapter 103: The Legend of Kongxiang 2
Dream-Making Expert
The Shattered Star Sea, eternal darkness.
A streak of flowing light pierced through the meteor belt on the outer edge of the Shattered Star Sea, heading toward its center.
Toward the place that had once been illuminated by a star, now known as the Nebula Vortex.
Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Light-Piercing Shuttle.
Lin Qi's gaze was indifferent as he pondered the information he had just obtained from the dream of the black-skirted woman's Senior Brother.
"Kongxiang Temple?"
It was widely known that the Shattered Star Sea was a ruin of stars formed over ten thousand years ago by a heaven-shaking battle that destroyed a star system.
But who exactly the two warring sides had been, and why that great battle had occurred.
Lin Qi had not known before.
But now he did.
The two sides of that great battle back then.
One side was the allied army of cultivators dispatched by the Star Academy, led by a Star-Domain Inspector, from the many cultivation worlds within a thousand light-years nearby.
And the other side was Kongxiang Temple.
As for the reason for the battle, it was not complicated either.
Because Kongxiang Temple did not belong to any cultivation world of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
Kongxiang Temple came from the outside.
It was one of the three great holy lands of the Bodhi Macrocosm, among the eight great macrocosms of the Buddhist Sect: Bodhi, Glazed, Spirit Mountain, Vajra, Amitabha, Guide, Seven Wonders, and Pure Land.
Over ten thousand years ago, the patriarch of Kongxiang Temple, Patriarch Bodhidharma, in order to cultivate the Nirvana Dharma, had a sudden whim and actually called upon his disciples to sacrifice their bodies to spread the Dharma. Then, dragging Kongxiang Temple along, he forcibly descended upon the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm, attempting to spread Buddhism.
In the end, the entire Kongxiang lineage, together with Patriarch Bodhidharma, was extinguished in the Shattered Star Sea, becoming a laughingstock.
After all, it was widely known that ever since the Dao of Heavenly Immortals rose in ancient times, the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm had expelled the myriad Dharmas of the heavens and embarked on the path of sole Dharma.
From then on, it was always cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm who went to other macrocosms to spread the Dharma. Never the reverse.
So Patriarch Bodhidharma and Kongxiang Temple truly did not know where they found the courage to dare come to the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm to sacrifice their bodies and spread the Dharma.
They did sacrifice their bodies, but as for spreading the Dharma.
Mm.
How should it be put.
It could not be said to have had no effect at all.
Because after the Kongxiang lineage was destroyed in the Shattered Star Sea.
Roughly every five hundred years, the ruins of Kongxiang Temple that had been destroyed back then would reappear in the Shattered Star Sea like a mirage, in a wondrous state between the real and the illusory.
It was said that this was a fragment of time formed before the entire body of Kongxiang Temple's disciples sacrificed themselves and entered extinction, when they made a great vow and prayed to one of the supreme beings of Buddhism, the Three-World King Buddha.
It could carry Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators into it, to obtain
the legacy left behind by Kongxiang Temple.
