Chapter 334 The Residual Consciousness of the Coriander Clan
"who!"
Gu Ce immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The presence of lingering consciousness within this Jade Palace is hardly a good thing.
Gu Ce was prepared to immediately dismantle this clone should any problems arise!
After all, no one knows what methods those powerful figures from the Origin Continent have that would allow them to directly interfere with Gu Ce's true form through this energy clone.
"Ugh."
A sigh echoed throughout the main hall of the Jade Palace.
Gu Ce looked around with a solemn expression, but couldn't find the source of the sound at all, so he had no choice but to retreat back into the Lotus Flower Ancient City for the time being.
The Jade Palace is very large.
The size of the main hall alone is measured in light-years.
As Gu Ce hid inside the Lotus Flower Ancient City, the light in the main hall of the Jade Palace reappeared, illuminating the Buddha statues that had fallen into darkness.
But Gu Ce was astonished to find that the eyes of those Buddha statues seemed to be staring at him.
of course.
Gu Ce was not afraid of this. As a powerful figure who had traversed the universe, his strength was definitely among the top ten in the current universe. Gu Ce would not be afraid of this small change.
The changes in the Buddha statue only prove that Gu Ce's conjecture was correct.
Suddenly remembering something, Gu Ce amplified his voice with his divine power to ensure that the sound could be transmitted to the outside world, and then spoke.
"Would the elders of the Coriander Clan perhaps make an appearance?"
Gu Ce spoke in the common language of the continent of origin.
In an instant!
"boom!"
One of the Buddha statues moved.
The speed that Buddha statue unleashed in a short period of time had reached ten thousand times the speed of light, which is almost the limit of a powerful being in the cosmic sea.
The Buddha statue arrived in front of the Lotus City with almost instantaneous speed!
"Who are you? How do you know... language?"
The Buddha statue spoke in a deep voice.
It's good that we can communicate.
Gu Ce glanced at the Buddha statue outside the ancient city of Lianhua.
The Buddha statue was not the Yiyang Ancient Buddha, which was at the level of the Chaos Ruler, but another unknown small Buddha. In the Wu Kingdom's heritage, there were only some records of the Yiyang Ancient Buddha. Even in the Jade Palace, there was no description of this unknown small Buddha. Naturally, Gu Ce could not know who he was.
The Buddha statue has four arms, many plants growing on its head, wears a leather armor, carries a wooden spear on its back, and has a forging hammer hanging at its waist. The other clothing on its body is also the traditional clothing of the coriander tribe.
"Senior, which Buddha are you?"
Gu Ce first tentatively spoke.
The Coriander tribe places great importance on faith and honor, and Buddhist chants are something they value highly. If a Coriander member is willing to communicate with you, they will proactively tell you their Buddhist chant. If they don't tell you, it's most likely because they want to kill you.
After a long silence, the Buddha statue opposite finally spoke softly: "My name is... Shanlin Buddha."
"Buddha of Shanlin." Gu Ce nodded slightly.
It seems that this Jade Palace must be the palace-type treasure of this Good Forest Buddha. It is not at the level of a Void True God as I guessed, but at least it is a treasure at the level of an Eternal True God.
I just don't know... if I can get it?
"Senior Buddha Shanlin, why are you here?" Gu Ce asked tentatively.
The Buddha statue did not directly answer Gu Ce's question, but instead asked in return, "Are you a human from the Cosmic Sea, or from the Origin Continent?"
The Coriander Clan, on the continent of origin, is a special life form equivalent to the primitive universe. Their relationship with the humans who have established kingdoms is relatively ordinary, and their living space is squeezed into a small area.
They don't have any particular fondness for humans, but they also won't attack them unprovoked.
"I received some inheritance from the Cosmic Sea," Gu Ce said.
This is the Buddha of the Coriander Clan! It represents the power of an eternal true god during his lifetime.
Furthermore, it can control the movement of Buddha statues, which seems much better than Duan Donghe Zhenkan or Su.
"The Cosmic Sea..." Shanlin Buddha stood still, falling into silence.
Gu Ce wasn't in a hurry. He just watched him quietly from across the Lotus Flower Ancient City, while also preparing to dissipate this clone.
Although the Lotus Ancient City is a supreme treasure of the palace type, to the powerful beings of the Origin Continent, it is merely a treasure used by true gods, and it is the lowest grade, with only six layers of secret runes.
Duan Donghe Zhenkan, with the help of the Tomb Ship, was able to kill the True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan directly across the Ice Cliff Fortress. This Shanlin Buddha, although he may not have the ability of Duan Donghe, may also have some means.
Gu Ce should still be careful.
……
I don't know how much time passed.
The Buddha statue came to life again.
"Humans," Shanlin Buddha said in a hoarse voice.
"I am Shanlin Buddha of the Coriander Clan. You seem to know something about my Coriander Clan. This palace is the most prized treasure I created during my lifetime, and it is also the missionary palace of my Coriander Clan."
"In my lifetime, I wanted to take this missionary palace away from the tribe and spread the faith to other parts of the continent. At the same time, I also wanted to become the second ancient Buddha of the Coriander tribe, to be revered by thousands."
Gu Ce nodded slightly. Faith is one of the cultivation methods of the Coriander Clan. In fact, it can be considered a kind of tempering of will.
"But unfortunately, I soon perished because I provoked an enemy. In the end, the missionary palace disappeared without a trace, only this wisp of my consciousness survived, but unexpectedly, it came to this cosmic sea," Shanlin Buddha continued.
"I have been in this cosmic sea for thousands of reincarnations. Because of my unwillingness, my consciousness has always existed here, but I'm afraid it won't last much longer. If you don't appear, my consciousness will probably be completely annihilated in this reincarnation."
Gu Ce wasn't sure if what Shan Linfo said was true or false, but one thing was absolutely certain.
The consciousness of the Buddha of Good Forest is about to dissipate.
If we're talking about possession, or other things that are detrimental to Gu Ce?
It's unlikely that these things would happen unless Gu Ce's divine body or soul were directly annihilated. After all, even Duan Donghe, who possessed the Tomb Ship, couldn't do it, let alone a Shanlin Buddha.
The coriander tribe is, after all, just a small tribe!
The entire ethnic group combined couldn't compare to Duan Donghe at its peak, let alone the entire Wu Kingdom.
Possession is even more impossible.
Even a god-king like Zuoshanke has to rely on a special reincarnation technique to travel from the Origin Continent to the Cosmic Sea. If a mere Eternal True God could be reborn in the Cosmic Sea by seizing a body, then the Supreme Rules would become a joke, and the entire Cosmic Sea would be filled with people from the Origin Continent.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Ce asked.
Shanlin Buddha has begun to reminisce about the past, clearly preparing to make his final arrangements, and Gu Ce is probably the only person he can turn to for help.
Shanlin was somewhat surprised that Gu Ce would say such a thing, but he still nodded.
"I hope you can take this palace back to the Origin Continent and return it to the Coriander Clan. With your talent, you possess the will of the strongest being in the universe at the level of a Universe Venerable, as well as other inheritances. It won't be difficult for you to pass through the cycle of reincarnation."
"I've been here for a long time. Although my consciousness has been hazy most of the time, I'm still clear about many things."
Even if you lack the talent, I still have ways to help you.
"And what about the reward?" Gu Ce asked.
Shanlin Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly, but quickly said, "This palace is a missionary palace, which I cannot give to you. However, I can give you my own legacy, as well as some things I left behind in my lifetime that are still well preserved."
"If you do find the Coriander Clan, they will reward you accordingly. Our Coriander Clan is skilled in crafting treasures. You can make a request to have them craft a unique treasure for you free of charge."
"...Okay." Gu Ce nodded and said.
The conditions offered by the Buddha of Shanlin were quite good.
After all, Gu Ce doesn't need to pay anything; he just needs to find the Coriander Clan and return the Jade Palace when he goes to the Origin Continent.
Before going to the Coriander Clan, in the Cosmic Sea, this Jade Palace was at my disposal.
Obtaining a treasure of at least the level of an eternal true god, and having temporary access to it, is quite a good thing.
Seeing that Gu Ce agreed, Shan Linfo also breathed a sigh of relief.
There aren't many people he can talk to!
Even those with enough talent have a chance to escape the cycle of reincarnation, but there aren't many.
The Jade Palace absorbs powerful beings from the outside world... In reality, it's not controlled by him, but rather it's the Jade Palace's spontaneous behavior. After becoming a consciousness, he is even less capable than Duan Donghe and Zhen Kan, and controlling the Jade Palace is extremely difficult for him.
The reason it appears to perform better is simply because of this special Buddha statue.
Shanlin Buddha was afraid of death.
Therefore, back when he was on the Origin Continent, he specially created this Buddha statue in order to preserve his divine power and survive. However, he never expected that now only a trace of his consciousness remains.
This awareness is also about to dissipate.
We must find a suitable candidate as soon as possible!
Fortunately, he met Gu Ce.
"There is one more thing. Deep within this Liuchong Mountain lies a great secret that is connected to the entire universe," Shanlin Buddha said solemnly.
"Liu Chongshan?" Gu Ce frowned.
Liuchong Mountain, as one of the three most dangerous places in the universe, is naturally not simple.
But what about the earth-shattering secret that can be connected to the entire universe?
Gu Ce found it hard to imagine.
"In short, don't underestimate this place," said Shanlin Buddha calmly.
"Alright, come with me, I'll take you to this missionary house where you can acknowledge the Lord."
"Once you arrive at the Origin Continent with this missionary palace, it will automatically guide you to the territory of the Coriander Clan. At the same time, as long as the distance is not too far, the people of the Coriander Clan will also know of your presence."
"You know something about the Coriander Clan... then you should know about the existence of the Yiyang Ancient Buddha."
"Don't worry," Gu Ce said.
Provoking a ruler of chaos?
Gu Ce obviously wouldn't do that until he had sufficient strength.
