Demon Gate Player

Chapter 43: Buddha of Infinite Light

Ten years ago.

While Pang Yue was conquering a small thousand worlds, he accidentally obtained an ancient boulder.

On this boulder, there naturally remained fragments of the Dao Rhyme from the time of the opening of heaven and earth, exuding a majestic aura.

After obtaining the boulder, a sudden inspiration struck Pang Yue's mind.

Perhaps it was due to years of arduous cultivation of the "White Bone Demon Scripture," all ten Law Weapons of the White Bone Demon Sect had been refined into Law Treasures.

He himself had also become a master of refining.

After obtaining this boulder, it was as if he had a sudden realization, and a rough outline of a Law Weapon design emerged in his mind.

Over the next ten years, he painstakingly researched and finally created a method to refine his own Law Weapon.

Not long ago, this Law Weapon was finally refined by him.

Although it was only a Supreme Grade Law Weapon, it was incredibly profound. In terms of potential, it surpassed even the Heavenly Book of Separation and Regret.

Pang Yue named this Law Weapon - Innate Limitless Monument.

Due to the limited ancient boulder, this Law Weapon had been unable to advance to a Law Treasure.

...

In a secret chamber.

Pang Yue had placed more than a dozen ancient boulders the size of small mountains in front of him.

Within the secret chamber, the Dao Rhyme intertwined, and spiritual light flickered in the void. Runes constantly emerged and circulated.

"I never expected Myriad Manifestations Sect to have so many ancient boulders..."

Pang Yue sighed in his heart.

The ancient boulders he had obtained over the past thirty years combined were not even one-tenth of what he had this time!

This time, it was enough for him to refine the Innate Limitless Monument into a Law Treasure!

After seventy-seven days.

A mysterious aura fluctuation spread from the secret chamber.

Pang Yue sat cross-legged on a cushion, and in front of him stood a stone monument about ten feet tall!

Countless runes flowed on the monument, intricate and profound to the extreme. Even an ordinary cultivator would have their soul shattered with just one glance.

Pang Yue made a virtual gesture with his hands, and the formidable mana of a Gold Core peak activated the Innate Limitless Monument. He exerted all his strength to deduce the mysteries that had plagued him all along.

From the Heavenly Demon Pill Banquet in Xu Yuan Lu Prefecture to his encounter with Zi Yue later on, the strange feeling had always lingered in his heart.

It felt familiar, yet extremely unfamiliar!

The Innate Limitless Monument, which had already reached the rank of a Law Treasure, now emitted layers of clear light.

Pang Yue's memories and soul, which had been sealed away, were now gently wiped clean like a piece of clean silk.

Countless ancient memories came rushing in!

Demon Talisman Sect...

Xu Family...

Devouring Demon Hall...

Ran Yunxin...

Reincarnated Heavenly Demon!

"Wow!"

Pang Yue chuckled, his eyes shining brightly.

It turned out that he was trapped in the illusion of the Reincarnated Heavenly Demon!

This Heavenly Demon illusion was not in the spatial sense, but rather it was vaguely related to the cycle of reincarnation. It was difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

It was even possible that Xu Yuan Lu Prefecture, the Seven Luminaries Heaven, the Myriad Puppet Realm, and the Unblemished Ancestor were all real existences.

With the help of the Innate Limitless Monument, Pang Yue instantly understood the situation he was in.

The Reincarnated Heavenly Demon had trapped his true body, captured his soul, and pulled him into the illusion of the Heavenly Demon.

He had become a living character in this world.

In other words, his soul was trapped, and his true body was likely being used as nourishment for the Reincarnated Heavenly Demon.

If he couldn't escape from this predicament in time, the only outcome would be eternal demise.

Until his true body was completely "digested" by the Heavenly Demon.

Pang Yue's soul trembled, about to tear through the barriers of this realm and return to reality.

Suddenly, the purple chains formed by the Forbidden God Talisman emitted a brilliant light, tightly trapping his soul.

"Unblemished Ancestor..."

Pang Yue shouted in a low voice, enduring the intense pain coming from the depths of his soul, struggling with all his might.

The purple chain tightened, exerting a powerful force that trapped Pang Yue's soul in place, preventing him from "transcending."

Pang Yue couldn't help but suspect whether Wuhua Laozu intentionally left behind a contingency plan for trapping him, specifically designed to keep him trapped.

"Unless there is a Primordial Spirit method, it will be difficult to leave."

Pang Yue's eyes flickered.

To leave the Opening Heaven Illusionary Realm, he must break the Forbidden God Symbol.

But this symbol was personally refined by a Primordial Spirit expert, and breaking it would require another Primordial Spirit-level method, otherwise it would be extremely difficult.

...

In the Wan Gui Realm, in the Cold Extreme Palace, in the Scripture Hall.

Zi Yue conquered the heavens and became the master of this place.

As the deputy palace master, he held great power in the Cold Extreme Palace.

Not only that, in the past thirty years, he had made a big name for himself in the entire Nine God Sect.

If it weren't for Wuhua Laozu's personal guidance, he would probably have a position among the top ten Gold Core cultivators in the Wan Gui Realm.

Since Qi Yao Tian returned to the Wan Gui Realm, Pang Yue had immersed himself in the Scripture Hall, shutting himself off from visitors.

After deciphering the puzzle, he pondered for nine days and nights, combining his experiences in the previous life's "Tushita Heaven" to finally come up with a solution.

Since the heavenly path in this realm had flaws, cultivators couldn't break through to the Primordial Spirit realm.

So where did Wuhua Laozu, this Primordial Spirit expert, come from?

For tens of thousands of years, no one had seen the true form of Wuhua Laozu. The ones seen in the world were only the nine Primordial Spirit-level puppet avatars.

So why not refine a Primordial Spirit puppet?

The method of refining the Nine God Puppets passed down by Wuhua Laozu only covered the Qi Nourishment, Dao Foundation, and Gold Core realms, and nothing beyond Gold Core.

Pang Yue's inspiration came from the Buddhist Gate supreme technique, the Great Salvation Art, in the game "Tushita Heaven" in his previous life!

This technique could convert all beings in heaven and earth, making them followers of the Buddhist Gate, reciting scriptures and offering devotion, gathering the supreme relics!

As long as there were enough followers, the power of the Buddhist Gate relics would be almost limitless.

Based on these relics, combined with the Nine God Puppet's technique of refining the Infinite Light Buddha Puppet, there was a slim possibility of refining a Primordial Spirit-level Infinite Light Buddha Puppet.

The Nine God Sect conquered the heavens, collecting various martial arts legacies from different realms, and had profound heritage comparable to the top sects in the Red Sky Heaven.

Pang Yue secluded himself in the Scripture Hall for a year, comprehending the major Buddhist Gate scriptures in the Innate Limitless Monument, and finally simulated and deduced a seemingly illusory "Great Salvation Art."

Then, he began to mobilize the entire White Bone Demon Sect to collect various treasures and started refining the Infinite Light Buddha.

With the assistance of the Innate Limitless Monument, progress was extremely fast.

In just ten years, an Infinite Light Buddha of the Gold Core Late Stage appeared!

This Buddha was about a hundred zhang tall, emitting restrained golden light, its body like crystal, with a halo of Buddha light behind it, perfectly round.

The sound of Buddhist chants came from the void, accompanied by a soft voice:

Conversion... Conversion... Conversion... Conversion...

During the process of refining this Buddha, Pang Yue embedded the simulated Great Salvation Art into it, turning it into a Divine Ability.

Of course, compared to the Great Salvation Art in the previous life's game, this Divine Ability was much weaker. Pang Yue simply named it the "Little Salvation Art" to differentiate it.

Outside the Cold Extreme Palace.

In the volcanic lake.

Pang Yue and Zi Yue were soaking in the hot spring.

Spiritual fruits and fine wine floated on the surface of the lake, left for them to enjoy.

Zi Yue lazily lay in the water, glancing at Pang Yue sideways and said, "I heard that you've been refining the Nine God Puppets for the past ten years. How is the progress now? Do you need my help?"

Pang Yue shook his head and said, "Although I haven't completed all the work, I can take my time to refine them in the future. There's no need to trouble the palace master."

Zi Yue scolded, "Do we still need to be so polite between us?"

Now, the two had known each other for decades and had a deep friendship.

Pang Yue was indispensable to her, as he had solved many troublesome matters for her.

The only barrier between them was the Forbidden God Symbol.

Pang Yue's life and death were in Zi Yue's hands.

This was also the reason why Pang Yue hesitated to tell Zi Yue about their entrapment in the Heavenly Demon Illusion, as it would be difficult for her to accept this fact based solely on his words.

Therefore, it was impossible for Zi Yue to release Pang Yue from the Forbidden God Symbol.

Unless...

"How are you considering that matter?"

A trace of imperceptible resentment flashed across Zi Yue's snow-white face as she casually asked.
