Chapter 2550
Lin Moyu could still sense that there was a special sense of compatibility between this aura and Xiao Mei's soul.
This allowed Lin Moyu to be one hundred percent certain that it was Xiao Mei's Reincarnation Treasure, even though only its aura remained.
But the item itself was gone. Lin Moyu tracked the traces of the aura until it abruptly vanished. It was completely gone.
Even if someone had taken it, it shouldn't have vanished so completely. A Reincarnation Treasure like this…
…could not necessarily be stored in ordinary storage magic treasures, and even some special storage magic treasures might not be able to mask its aura.
Reincarnation Treasures were highly unique and not ordinary magic treasures; even if placed inside a storage magic treasure,
it would still be difficult to conceal its aura. Lin Moyu found the location where the Reincarnation Treasure had last appeared, which was a valley nestled within the mountain range.
The valley had already collapsed, and Lin Moyu noticed that this collapse was highly unusual.
There were clear traces of human intervention. Seeing this, a guess had already formed in Lin Moyu's mind.
"It seems the Reincarnation Treasure was taken. Nine times out of ten, it was Ancient Buddha Huangmei," he muttered to himself.
Lin Moyu drew several runes, forming a simple Rune Array. The Rune Array had no other purpose
than to mask his aura, as he did not want anyone to know what he was about to do next.
If Ancient Buddha Huangmei were still in his Buddha Country, doing this would naturally be useless. But now, the master of the Buddha Country was absent,
so he didn't have to worry too much. The Rune Array enveloped the entire collapsed valley, and subsequently, his body became semi-illusory.
The Great Dao of Time emerged silently. Time Reversal!
Lin Moyu mobilized the Great Dao of Time.
He directly reversed time, wanting to see what had happened here ten years ago. The Great Dao of Time cast an illusionary phantom.
Time within the phantom began to flow backward. Everything that had once occurred in the valley was replayed at high speed, like a movie.
Although he had his suspicions, they were ultimately just guesses and needed to be confirmed.
With Lin Moyu's current cultivation realm, reversing ten years of time on the Origin Continent
was no longer an issue. Soon, time wound back to ten years ago.
A streak of light descended from the sky, crashing into the valley without causing much of a stir.
It silently gouged out an inconspicuous hole in the valley, so quietly that even the small animals in the valley didn't realize they had gained a new neighbor.
But soon, someone arrived. A robust, heavily-built Buddha
clad in a golden-yellow kasaya descended from the sky. Lin Moyu recognized him at a single glance.
This Buddha was Ancient Buddha Huangmei. Upon entering the Huangmei Buddha Country, one could see the phantom of the Buddha far off in the void of the horizon.
That was Huangmei's projection, identical to the one in the Time Reversal. Huangmei was the Lord of the Buddha Country.
As long as he remained in the Buddha Country, it was difficult for anything happening within it to escape his notice. It was only natural that he could discover Xiao Mei's Reincarnation Treasure.
When Huangmei arrived, ten thousand rays of Buddhist light rained down.
Boundless lightning was contained within the Buddhist light, causing the valley to collapse with a loud boom. Almost none of the animals in the valley survived.
Huangmei chanted Buddhist scriptures as if performing a rite of release for these small animals, yet his face held none of a Buddha's benevolence.
Instead, it was somewhat fierce, carrying even a hint of excitement. After blasting the valley to pieces,
Huangmei quickly retrieved Xiao Mei's Reincarnation Treasure from the ruins. Holding the Reincarnation Treasure in his palm, he allowed Lin Moyu to clearly see its appearance.
The Reincarnation Treasure looked like a pearl, emitting a faint azure glow while radiating a bone-chilling coldness.
After observing it for a moment, Huangmei took out a cloth bag and put the Reincarnation Treasure inside.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu frowned slightly. This cloth bag was not ordinary; it was likely not just a simple storage magic treasure.
It probably had other uses. "If I go up against Huangmei, I must be careful of this cloth bag."
After taking the Reincarnation Treasure with the cloth bag, Huangmei departed, and Lin Moyu also deactivated the Time Reversal.
It was now certain that Ancient Buddha Huangmei had taken Xiao Mei's Reincarnation Treasure, and currently, Ancient Buddha Huangmei was not in his Buddha Country.
He had likely gone to the Western Paradise. Not only had Ancient Buddha Huangmei gone to the Western Paradise, but perhaps even Ancient Buddha Qingdeng, whom he was searching for, was there as well.
Ancient Buddha Qingdeng was a Nine-Wheel Ancient Buddha. Normally, if he wasn't in his own Buddha Country, he would be in the Western Paradise.
Now that something had happened in the Western Paradise, Ancient Buddha Qingdeng would nine times out of ten go there. "It seems…" platform.
"…I'll have to make a trip to the Western Paradise as well. But before that, I should check out Huangmei's lair."
"On the off chance that he left the Reincarnation Treasure there, it would save me some trouble," Lin Moyu muttered to himself
as he headed toward the center of the Buddha Country. At the center of the Huangmei Buddha Country, a golden Buddha statue standing several thousand meters tall
towered over the land. Resting upon the giant hand of the golden Buddha statue was a Buddhist temple.
This Buddhist temple was Huangmei's lair. Lin Moyu quickly arrived before it, on the plaza in front of the temple,
where several hundred members of the Buddhist Clan were sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures. These Buddhists were all disciples of Ancient Buddha Huangmei.
Their cultivations varied; the strongest few were already Heavenly Ancient Buddhas, while the weakest
were children who had only recently begun their cultivation. However, they all shared a common trait: none of them had poor destiny,
and their talent was exceptional. This showed that Huangmei had a good eye for selecting disciples.
Lin Moyu landed silently on the plaza, with no one detecting his arrival. Standing at the entrance of the Buddhist temple,
Lin Moyu sized up the temple. Ten thousand rays of Buddhist light radiated from within, and from inside this light,
Lin Moyu sensed the aura of a formation. The formation inside the temple shared the same origin as the formation on the nine mountain peaks in the mountain range earlier.
Lin Moyu recognized at a glance that the formation was actually controlled by the Buddhist temple.
One could imagine Ancient Buddha Huangmei presiding over the temple, with thirty-six disciples
divided into groups of nine, occupying the four corners of the Buddha Country. Each group formed their own array,
centering around the Buddhist temple. This colossal formation could envelop the entire Buddha Country.
It appeared that this Ancient Buddha Huangmei indeed dabbled in the Dao of Formations.
Although the formation he set up wasn't very strong, its range was quite large, reaching roughly the peak of the fifth rank to the sixth rank.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, it was naturally not worth mentioning, but to others, it was already a remarkable feat.
At the very least, not a single person capable of setting up such a formation could be found in the entire Demon Clan. Ignoring the formation,
Lin Moyu strode into the temple, casually drawing a few runes to form an array that enveloped himself.
At this moment, Lin Moyu merged as one with the formation inside the temple, making the temple his own backyard.
He could wander as he pleased. Within the temple, Lin Moyu once again sensed the aura of the Reincarnation Treasure, and it was extremely dense.
It was highly probable that Ancient Buddha Huangmei had studied Xiao Mei's Reincarnation Treasure, and for no short amount of time.
Lin Moyu even found the exact, precise location where Huangmei had studied the Reincarnation Treasure. He performed Time Reversal once more.
This time, the range of the Time Reversal was very small and caused little disturbance, so the people outside the temple did not notice.
Through the Time Reversal, Lin Moyu confirmed that when Huangmei left, he had taken the Reincarnation Treasure with him,
keeping it inside that cloth bag. "It seems I have no choice but to make a trip to the Western Paradise."

"It's just as well. I'll go watch the show and look for Ancient Buddha Qingdeng while I'm at it!"
Lin Moyu left Huangmei's temple, silently erasing all traces he had left behind, including his temporal imprint.
Even if someone used Time Reversal, they would not be able to tell he had been here. Lin Moyu acted with great caution.
After all, he was currently in the territory of the Buddhist Clan, and he couldn't afford not to be careful. He had a feeling
that he didn't quite get along with the Buddhist Clan. Ever since entering the Great World, he had been at odds with them.
Furthermore, he instinctively disliked the Buddhist Clan. It was a strange feeling, hard to explain.
After leaving the temple, Lin Moyu crossed the Huangmei Buddha Country and headed toward the Western Paradise.
He had come silently, and he departed in the same manner. No one knew he had ever been here.
Outside the Buddha Country, the Buddhist light remained chaotic, alternating between light and dark unpredictably.
The lack of any pattern indicated that the matter over at the Western Paradise had not yet been resolved. The Dragon Clan and the Buddhist Clan
had always minded their own business, a state of affairs that had persisted for countless years. It was unknown what had happened this time.
Now that all the major Buddhas had gone to the Western Paradise, for Lin Moyu, the various Buddha Countries were left completely wide open.
He no longer took detours, crossing through two Buddha Countries by the shortest route to approach the Western Paradise.
From afar, he saw an incredibly massive Buddha statue. The size of this statue
was something Lin Moyu had never seen before in his life; even the Nine-Tailed City, which stretched for five hundred thousand kilometers, could not compare to it.
There was no telling how tall this Buddha statue was. Its upper body pierced straight into the clouds, hidden amidst the mist,
while its lower body was merged with the earth, spanning across more than a dozen mountain ranges. How vast its actual scale was
could no longer be calculated, but it was at least a million miles. Yet, this statue that reached the heavens
and connected to the mountains and rivers below was merely a pedestal. When Lin Moyu flew into the clouds,
he truly saw what the Western Paradise was. Within the Buddhist Clan, the Western Paradise was also known as the World of Western Paradise
or the Pure Land of Western Paradise, and was also called the Land of Ultimate Goodness. No matter the name,
they all exuded reverence and yearning for the Western Paradise. The entire Buddha statue sprouted a vast number of arms.
These arms, appearing both illusory and real, transformed into a Thousand-Handed Buddha, holding up a colossal continent.
This continent was the Western Paradise. The Western Paradise had a diameter exceeding a million miles, and it was no ordinary continent.
Instead, it had been refined by someone, exuding an aura similar to a magic treasure. Lin Moyu felt an extremely rich Power of Origin,
knowing that there must be several origin spirit veins within the Western Paradise, and of no low rank either. Above the Western Paradise,
two great suns occupied opposite ends, revolving around the Western Paradise at a uniform speed.
They always maintained the maximum distance from each other. Of these two great suns, one radiated Buddhist light,
while the other chanted Buddhist scriptures, illuminating not only the Western Paradise but also the entire Buddha Realm.
"The ambition of the Buddhist Clan is truly not small!"
Just by looking at these two great suns, Lin Moyu could guess as much.
The Buddha Countries possessed immense ambition. These two great suns actually represented the two great Origins of Solar and Lunar.
The Buddhist Clan intended to use these two great suns to replace the two great Origins of Solar and Lunar within their own world.
Many ordinary people born within the Buddhist Clan lived their entire lives without ever seeing the two great Origins of Solar and Lunar. But now,
the two blazing suns had clearly suffered damage, their shapes no longer regular
and marred by numerous cracks. This was also the reason why the Buddhist light was chaotic and the chanting had grown faint.
"It's not hard to imagine that this was definitely the Dragon Clan's doing," Lin Moyu muttered to himself.
"Though their ambition is great, ambition requires strength to back it up. Where does the Buddhist Clan get the confidence
to dare provoke the Dragon Clan?"
Lin Moyu found it somewhat incomprehensible. With the strength of the Dragon Clan,
even the Three Ancestors Demon Emperors would be unwilling to provoke them. The Dragon Clan had members in the Outer Heaven Great Dao, after all. If they were truly enraged,
given the Dragon Clan's protective nature, someone might very well descend from the Outer Heaven Great Dao. Although there were rules on the Origin Continent,
and the Great Dao did not allow those in the Great Dao Realm to enter the Origin Continent, Lin Moyu believed the Dragon Clan certainly had their ways.
If even a single dragon of the Great Dao Realm arrived and exerted just ten or twenty percent of its power, it would be enough to crush the entire Buddhist Clan.
Logically speaking, the Buddhist Clan shouldn't fail to understand this, unless…
…their Buddhist Clan also had someone in the Outer Heaven Great Dao and did not fear the Dragon Clan. However, the legacy of the Buddhist Clan
had only appeared after the Prehistoric War. From then on, becoming a Great Dao Realm expert had already become extremely difficult.
According to the information Lin Moyu possessed, no one in the Buddhist Clan should have reached the Great Dao Realm. Not to mention the Buddhist Clan,
