#808 - Goddess Shenji, the seal is broken

The Demon Subduing Vajra beside him also focused his gaze on the Ruyi Scepter, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Who wouldn't want a treasure, especially one that might be from an ancient god!

However, neither of them acted rashly, remaining vigilant of their surroundings.

The woman who had spoken earlier had yet to reveal herself.

“We have arrived. Would you be so kind as to show yourself, Your Excellency?”

The Buddha Saint pressed his palms together, striving to present a benevolent appearance.

The woman's voice echoed again: “Am I not already before you?”

Namo and the Demon Subduer were instantly startled, turning to look at the massive statue before them. Only now did they realize that the statue's eyes seemed to be fixed upon them, and its lips seemed to curve into a faint, eerie smile.

What kind of ghost is this?

Has a stone become a demon?

Or is this person sealed within it?

Namo narrowed his eyes slightly. If she was truly sealed, then he had nothing to fear. He could snatch the treasure and leave. Even if this woman was a god, she would be powerless against him!

“Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?”

Namo inquired.

Goddess Shenji seemed delighted to see outsiders, asking: “How is the God Realm now?”

The God Realm?

Namo shook his head, saying: “This junior has never heard of any God Realm. This is the Immortal Realm. This junior is Namo, the Buddha Saint of the Immortal Realm!”

“Buddha Saint?”

Goddess Shenji exclaimed in surprise, then sneered: “Dare you call yourself a saint with your meager cultivation? Back then, there was a fat-headed fellow who devised an unorthodox cultivation method, seeking to achieve Dao through the power of incense and vows from the world. However, he was later annihilated by several God Sovereigns working together. I never expected there would still be descendants!”

Upon hearing such secrets, both Namo and the Demon Subduer were shocked.

Especially the Demon Subduer, who abruptly turned to look at Namo.

He had always believed that the Buddha Saint's cultivation method was self-created, but now it seemed likely that he had inherited the mantle of some great figure.

Namo's expression turned somewhat gloomy. This was his greatest secret.

Years ago, when his cultivation was still insignificant, he had discovered a cave dwelling containing everything about the Buddhist cultivation method. Because of this, there was the Buddha Saint of today.

And he had always claimed to the outside world that the creation of Buddhism was his sole achievement!

The Buddha Saint also captured the information in Goddess Shenji's words.

He, the dignified supreme being of the world, one of the Five Saints, was actually considered to have meager cultivation in her eyes?

He couldn't imagine how powerful Goddess Shenji would be in her prime.

But why would she say this was the God Realm?

Did she not know what had happened?

The Demon Subduer suddenly asked: “Goddess Shenji, why were you sealed here, and why do you call this place the God Realm? This is clearly the Immortal Realm. Since I began cultivating, it has always been the Immortal Realm, and my master is already the most powerful being here!”

A dark light suddenly flashed in Goddess Shenji's eyes, her voice filled with surprise: “The most powerful being, based on him? If I hadn't been sealed, I could have crushed that little bald donkey with a single finger!”

Namo opened his mouth, a look of annoyance appearing in his eyes.

Crush him with a single finger?

How dare she say that!

He had the urge to smash the statue before him with a punch, but he restrained himself.

Firstly, he didn't know if he could destroy the statue, after all, it was something that sealed a god.

Secondly, even if he could destroy the statue, if he released this so-called Goddess Shenji, he would probably be the first to die!

He was just angry, not stupid.

Goddess Shenji slowly spoke, her tone filled with temptation: “Although I look down on your cultivation, you are the first to come here in so many years, and you have the strength to help me. Listen, little bald donkey, if you can help me break the seal, elevating you to the God Realm will be a trivial matter after I come out. Without entering the God Realm, all beings are mere ants, do you understand?”

Elevating him to the God Realm!

Namo couldn't help swallowing, his heart pounding.

If that were the case, wouldn't he have the strength to unify the Immortal Realm?

At that time, not to mention the other four Saints, even the mysterious Qingyun Taoist might be within his reach!

“Then, what should this junior do?”

Namo asked.

Hearing Namo's words, Goddess Shenji was very happy, saying: “It's very simple. Do you see the formation around me? The core of this formation is in the lake. This lake water is the death energy and evil energy that I have absorbed over endless years, and it has been liquefied from gas. I will open a passage for you. After you enter, take out the Evil Suppressing Divine Crystal from the bottom of the lake!”

As she spoke, the gray lake water behind the statue began to churn, revealing a passage leading straight to the bottom of the lake.

Namo's eyes flickered, and he asked again: “If it's so simple, why doesn't Your Excellency do it yourself?”

“Nonsense, if I could come out, why would I have been sealed for so long? Would I still need you?”

Goddess Shenji said angrily, scolding: “Why don't you go in quickly, an immense opportunity is waiting for you!”

Hearing Goddess Shenji's words, Namo's brows suddenly relaxed, and he laughed loudly: “Since Your Excellency can't come out, then this old monk is relieved. This place is quiet, it's good for Your Excellency to stay here, so don't leave. As for this immense opportunity, this old monk will take it myself!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from the spot, and in the next moment, he had arrived in front of the statue, grabbing the Ruyi in its hand, and forcefully pulling it out.

As soon as the Ruyi was released, it immediately began to bloom with brilliant colorful light, and the surrounding space began to tremble. The energy fluctuations emanating from it made Namo's heart rejoice.

It really is a treasure!

However, at the moment he pulled out the Ruyi, the surface of the statue suddenly made a cracking sound, and Goddess Shenji's suppressed wild laughter shook the surroundings. The gray lake water behind her began to surge and churn even more violently.

“You and that fat-headed bald donkey back then are really cautious, but so what, I still tricked you! In fact, this Ruyi is the core of the formation, it is the Evil Suppressing Divine Crystal! You fool! I'm finally out—”

Namo's expression changed drastically, and the hand holding the Ruyi began to tremble uncontrollably, retreating rapidly.

The Demon Subduing Vajra stared blankly as the statue rapidly disintegrated, slowly peeling out a woman shrouded in flames, with a shapely figure, but exuding an eerie aura of evil.

This is Goddess Shenji?
