Chapter 1010 - 987: Esoteric Buddhism, Celestial Dragon Ascendant

Ren Feng followed Xiao Mo and arrived in front of Snow City. The city walls were built somewhat grandly, towering over two people high.

Xiao Mo pushed open the city gates, and with a heavy creaking sound, the two of them walked inside.

Ren Feng glanced around; these buildings had a very strange style, somewhat similar to Buddhism, but not quite the same.

Moreover, Ren Feng couldn't fathom how they managed to construct a city at such a high altitude.

Ren Feng was puzzled as to where the timber came from, as there were no trees at such high altitudes unless brought up from the foot of the mountain, which would require a massive amount of wood.

He was amazed, and just then, many monks in yellow Buddhist robes approached from a short distance. When they saw Xiao Mo, they clasped their hands and bowed, then quietly walked to the side.

Xiao Mo seemed not to notice them and directly proceeded into the main hall at the front.

Inside the hall, there was a large statue. Ren Feng glanced at it; the top had seven knots, with braided hair draped over the left shoulder, appearing like an angry expression, carrying fierce flames, and holding a sharp sword in the right hand.

Statue of Unmoving Bright King!

Ren Feng could somewhat guess what this place was. If his guess was correct, this should be esoteric Buddhism.

Tibetan esoteric Buddhism, with a very ancient and mysterious heritage, greatly aligning with the principles of arduous cultivation.

Ren Feng had heard a rumor before: those who believe in esoteric Buddhism undergo training in a place known as the Inverted Hanging Temple, where each challenge tests the limits of their body. If they fail, they perish on the spot.

This is an exceedingly harsh and abnormal religion!

"We're here now. If there's someone you're looking for, I can call them out for you."

Xiao Mo said to Ren Feng.

"Han Buyan."

Xiao Mo frowned slightly, "Haven't heard of him; wait here, I'll go report to my master."

Saying that, he headed towards the back hall.

Ren Feng stood alone in the spacious hall. However, it wasn't long before suddenly, a figure flashed almost instantaneously to Ren Feng's back.

Ren Feng's heart skipped a beat; instinctively, he turned and punched, but his fist stopped mid-air because Han Buyan was looking at him with a peculiar expression.

"Impressive, kid! When did your reflexes become so quick?"

"Old man, can you stop being so shocking? This could easily lead to trouble, you know." Ren Feng was somewhat speechless, "Is it so difficult to appear from the front?"

"Hey, I was just testing you, kid. Didn't expect your skills to have improved so much." Han Buyan sat down beside him, looked at Ren Feng, and said, "Tell me, are you about to enter the Tripod Realm? Which Yang Tribulation are you at now?"

Ren Feng replied earnestly, "I'm currently at the Sixth Yang Tribulation, my power should be close to the Gang Realm soon."

" nearing Gang Realm? Wait, you're close to Gang Realm now?"

The old man suddenly widened his eyes, disbelief written all over his face as he sprang up from the chair.

"What did you say? Kid, you're close to Gang Realm now?"

"Yes." Ren Feng nodded.

Han Buyan was so exasperated that he coughed up blood, "Why, it's been such a short time; how did you reach Gang Realm? Last time, not long ago, you were at the Soul Realm; your advancement in power is like flying!"

"I don't quite understand either, but currently I'm at the Peak of the Tripod Realm, sensing a breakthrough at any moment."

Han Buyan took Ren Feng's pulse, sensed for a moment, and disbelief filled his face.

"You've truly reached the Tripod Realm, complete with the Dan Pearl, and even the Soul Sea; your Martial Arts progress is freakishly fast, achieving in mere months what others take a lifetime to accomplish!"

Han Buyan took a deep breath, "If I remember correctly, when you returned this year, you were just at the Peak of the Heavenly Realm, yet now you've directly reached the Tripod Realm. It's simply outrageous."

Ren Feng now experienced the exceptional nature of the Nine Yang Body firsthand; the speed of cultivation was indeed fast, and even with his current power at the Tripod Realm, he could directly challenge Half-Step Profound Realm experts. However, it also brought the drawbacks of the Nine Yang Tribulation.

"Old man, you mentioned you could help me through the next Yang Tribulation, right?"

"Of course it's true, but you mentioned the Fifth Yang Tribulation at that time, how did you manage to get through it?" Han Buyan was full of doubts.

Ren Feng recounted his experiences in Japan's Ninja Domain, and Han Buyan's face twisted into a bizarre expression.

"Fate toys with people, indeed, fate toys with people." He sighed.

"Enough with fate, old man! My Sixth Yang Tribulation is approaching, and I'm in a hurry to find you. Don't tell me it's insurmountable, I feel I won't hold up this time."

"Rest assured, If I say you can overcome it, you will. Wait a moment; the Celestial Dragon Ascendant will be out, and you can ask him."

Just as he finished speaking, a loud Buddhist Dharma suddenly resounded.

"Shakyamuni Buddha."

Ren Feng turned to look and saw an elder in esoteric Buddhist robes walking out. His attire was minimal, but he had long eyebrows and white beard, appearing kind and benevolent.

This elder's aura seemed quite ordinary, and Ren Feng didn't sense any formidable aura from him.

This was a case where the aura was restrained to the utmost.

"Buyan, my old friend, is this young one your disciple with the Nine Yang Body?"

"Yes, this is the kid; his Yang Tribulation is imminent. Could you help him overcome this tribulation?"

The Celestial Dragon Ascendant nodded and spoke softly, "Do not resist."

As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual image of the Unmoving Bright King appeared behind him, but this image had closed eyes.

However, the next moment, the image's eyes suddenly opened, projecting a beam onto Ren Feng.

In a matter of moments, the Celestial Dragon Ascendant had thoroughly examined the situation inside Ren Feng's body.

"The Nine Yang Body is indeed extraordinary and bizarrely strange," said the Celestial Dragon Ascendant, "Luckily, the chronicles have records, combined with the materials we gathered and the array we've set up, helping him overcome this Yang Tribulation shouldn't be an issue."

"Thank you, Celestial Dragon Ascendant." Ren Feng expressed his gratitude respectfully.

"Having ascended from the foothills, you must be somewhat fatigued. Rest for now; tomorrow you'll prepare to enter the array to transcend this Yang Tribulation."

After saying that, the Celestial Dragon Ascendant recited a Buddhist Dharma and sat down in the center, commencing a meditative tribute to the Unmoving Bright King statue.

Han Buyan took Ren Feng to another room.

"Rest up for now; with the Celestial Dragon Ascendant here, there's no need to worry about this Yang Tribulation."

Ren Feng asked, "Is the Celestial Dragon Ascendant part of esoteric Buddhism?"

"Indeed, he is an enlightened monk of esoteric Buddhism, possessing remarkable Buddhist Dharma cultivation and power. Besides, he is proficient in martial arts worldwide, and I met him during a mission previously."
