The giant Buddha head emanated flashes of sacred, golden Buddha’s Light. With their appearance, the staircase suddenly began to distort, like air shimring in intense heat.
Following that, golden human figures, bathed in a brilliant Buddha’s Light, slowly erged one by one from the end of the staircase.
Each figure was covered in a layer of golden paint, and their heads were completely bald.
There were ten of these golden, humanoid creatures in total. They stood in two rows on either side of the staircase, their faces expressionless, like wooden statues.
As these ten golden monks erged, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes, sizing them up with great interest.
’They don’t have the aura of a living person, nor are they Deceitful Objects. What are these things?’
As Shen Bai wondered about this, Wuhua, who was beside him, imdiately offered an explanation.
Wuhua’s expression was grave. He stared at the ten unidentified golden creatures and said slowly,
"Donor Shen, be careful. These are the long-lost chanical Golden n of Xuanxin Temple."
’chanical Golden n?’
The na ant little to Shen Bai, but the surrounding crowd erupted in shocked gasps.
Hearing their reactions, Shen Bai suddenly got the feeling that these things were quite formidable.
At that mont, Wuhua continued his explanation.
"The so-called chanical Golden n are a fusion of Buddhist Teachings and chanical Technique. They are coated in golden paint, rendering them impervious to blades and fire, and they possess imnse strength."
"Furthermore, they can form offensive and defensive Arrays just like living people. Xuanxin Temple possessed this terrifying Miracle Skill long ago, but with the passage of ti and the events of the Bloody Night of Fenglin State, it was lost."
"I never expected to encounter them here."
Wuhua’s explanation gave Shen Bai a general understanding.
’So basically, these things are made with chanical Technique, but with Buddhist Teachings added to make the chanical Golden n even stronger.’
As the two were talking, sothing strange happened with the giant Buddha head.
A voice emanated from the Buddha head’s mouth, and everyone present heard it clearly.
The voice carried a solemn and dignified air, but its content was utterly shocking.
"Great fortunes await. Please enter the Buddha head to see them."
"If the Buddha’s Light shatters, the opportunity is lost."
As the voice faded, streaks of golden Buddha’s Light shot out from the giant Buddha head’s mouth, landing on everyone present.
The golden Buddha’s Light remained dormant. It offered no defense or protection, simply coating their bodies.
Shen Bai raised his hand, looking at the Buddha’s Light on it. He thoughtfully considered the two sentences he had just heard.
’In other words, this golden Buddha’s Light is like a threshold. If it shatters or disappears during the exploration ahead, you get eliminated and teleported out.’
Shen Bai wasn’t the only one to figure it out. The others understood as well.
As for the first sentence, it ant they had to enter the Buddha head to find greater fortunes.
Everyone exchanged glances, then, without worrying about the order, they began to file into the Buddha head.
The chanical Golden n had neither the feel of living beings nor the sinister cold of Deceitful Objects. They simply stood motionless on either side of the steps, as if guarding the giant Buddha head.
After a mont’s thought, Shen Bai walked up the golden staircase.
After the last person had stepped onto the golden staircase, it finally began to change.
The golden staircase flared with light and began to slowly retract. Starting from its lowest step, it dissolved into motes of golden light and vanished.
The Buddha’s open mouth slowly closed. With a low, muffled sound, their path of retreat was cut off.
Only then did Shen Bai realize that the space inside was also filled with a sacred radiance, completely illuminating the environnt.
Ahead was a vast, open area, so large one couldn’t see the end of it. The sheer size of the space inside the golden Buddha head was dumbfounding.
And this open area was far from empty.
Countless chanical Golden n stood in disciplined ranks and files. At a glance, it was impossible to determine their exact number.
Golden paint coated the chanical Golden n. The sacred and solemn Buddha’s Light made the entire space brighter, but it also carried a murderous aura. The pressure was so intense it felt as if a mountain was bearing down on them, making it difficult to even breathe.
Not far away, Treasure Chests were piled up, none of them locked.
So of the Treasure Chests radiated a strange light, while others gave off a sinister, cold aura.
They contained Deceitful Objects as well as other treasures.
"Wuhua, your Xuanxin Temple was astonishingly wealthy back in the day."
Shen Bai added after a quick glance, "An outrageous amount."
Wuhua shook his head. "The patriarch who founded Xuanxin Temple was one of the greatest figures in the Jianghu. He only ca here to Fenglin State to establish the temple in his old age, so it’s only natural that he possessed nurous treasures."
Shen Bai rubbed his chin. "Looks like if we want these treasures, we have to get past these chanical Golden n first."
He didn’t need to say it; everyone else already knew, because that murderous aura was directed right at them.
While they were talking, soone had been counting the chanical Golden n and quickly ca up with a number.
"Three thousand. There are a full three thousand chanical Golden n here."
"If they’re really as Master Wu Hua described, this is going to be a tough fight!"
Three thousand chanical Golden n, each one impervious to blades and fire, possessing imnse strength, and skilled in various mysterious and unpredictable Cultivation Techniques.
Any single one of these chanical Golden n would be considered a priceless treasure that people would fight over in the outside world.
