Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 963: The Fleshly Body of Dragon Tree Buddha

Within the Divine Land.

A enigmatic purple radiance.

Raced through the Daluo Region, crossed over the Ten Great Ocean domains, and plunged straight into the Ancient Road to Heaven.

Its pace was horrifyingly swift.

No Divine King Realm powerhouses existed in the Daluo Region, leaving it unseen by anyone.

Traveling at a speed beyond comprehension, the purple light surged along the Ancient Road to Heaven and pierced into the Cangnan Continent.

"How odd, the spiritual energy here is so thin, without even a hint of divine essence!"

Sensing the spiritual energy, Dragon Tree Buddha voiced his astonishment.

Shock overwhelmed him inevitably.

He recalled that before his Nirvana, this continent brimmed with spiritual energy matching the Divine Land's abundance.

"How strange, where has the Dragon Clan gone?"

Dragon Tree Buddha surveyed the surroundings and spotted an even more drastic shift.

The mighty Dragon Clan, once dominant everywhere, had vanished entirely.

Now and then, a handful of Little Dragons appeared, their cultivation bases laughably weak, far below True God level.

This revelation.

Stunned Dragon Tree Buddha once more in an instant.

The purple light lingered in mid-air as he fell silent, speechless for a prolonged moment.

"All phenomena prove impermanent, birth and death shift endlessly—such is the law of the universe..."

After what felt like ages, Dragon Tree Buddha let out a sigh before resuming his scan of the continent in search of his physical form.

"I attained Nirvana back in the Divine Land, leaving my body there—how did it wind up here?"

As he hunted, Dragon Tree Buddha grumbled nonstop.

He had rushed into the Divine Land without a chance to seek the inheritance he established eons ago—

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect.

Dragon Tree Buddha vowed that upon resurrecting his body, he would track down the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect's successor and deliver a harsh reprimand!

This was absolutely intolerable.

Interring his body amid the former haunts of the Dragon Clan.

For him, this was utterly unforgivable.

"There it is!"

Dragon Tree Buddha's eyes gleamed as his vision pierced through countless layers of void, spotting his body concealed deep beneath a colossal mountain.

The purple light shimmered wildly, tearing across the heavens!

In merely one breath's time, this beam of purple radiance dove beneath the mountain into the earth, shattering into a Purple Paulownia Coffin and fusing with the corpse.

The corpse's aura began to intensify steadily.

Yet.

This power stayed perfectly sealed around the body without any spillover.

"This realm is far too fragile; leaking such an aura could wipe out countless lives. As Dragon Tree Buddha, I cannot unleash a slaughter upon all beings..."

Dragon Tree Buddha mused inwardly.

The purple light granted by the Infinite Light Buddha Lord infused the body with boundless might upon merging.

However, eons had passed.

Ravaged by the merciless flow of time, the body had deteriorated badly and required time to mend.

...

"What's happening?"

Atop a remote mountain chain's peak.

Aboard a dark carriage, a tiny white silkworm abruptly lifted its head, staring toward a specific spot.

Just moments earlier.

It had detected an aura that filled it with primal terror.

"What's the matter, Elder Immortal Divine Silkworm?"

The Big Black Horse inquired.

"A horrifying being has stirred to life far underground!"

The Immortal Divine Silkworm declared solemnly.

A horrifying being?

Every demon beast on the carriage jolted in alarm, their faces twisting in fear.

If even Elder Immortal Divine Silkworm felt dread, how monstrous must this being be?

"Elder, that being you mentioned—could you not overcome it?"

The Big Black Cat raised its head, heart thumping as it asked.

"Indeed, I stand no chance against it; that entity possesses Divine King Realm power, and only the Master can confront it!"

The Immortal Divine Silkworm sighed deeply.

It never imagined such a titanic force lurked in Cangnan Continent's depths!

Divine King Realm!

How could a Divine King Realm powerhouse exist here?

The Immortal Divine Silkworm found it baffling.

"But no cause for alarm—the fearsome entity is a monk, its aura fully contained. I suspect it's a merciful soul..."

As realization dawned, the Immortal Divine Silkworm eased up, murmuring gently.

A monk?

The demon beasts all froze in disbelief.

A monk interred deep underground?

This was downright unbelievable!

"Too bad the Master isn't around; if he were, how could he tolerate this monk's arrogance?"

The Big Black Cat scowled.

"Little Black, hold your tongue—this monk may not be wicked!"

The Immortal Divine Silkworm shook its head.

With that, it turned its gaze away.

Should that Divine King Realm monk awaken and detect it watching them, it could hunt them down.

Thus, the Immortal Divine Silkworm decided to stay low-key and remain defensive.

Being the most advanced in cultivation among all demon beasts, it carried immense duties and dared not err.

Sizzle!

Strands of silver silk abruptly erupted from the Immortal Divine Silkworm's mouth, encasing the whole carriage entirely. The space before them tore apart, letting this silver light orb slip into the void.

"Elder, aren't you overly cautious?"

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon remarked with a wry smile.

"No helping it—we're too eye-catching. If spotted, we're far from safe, but the Sect Master and others have weaker cultivation bases and can wander the world unnoticed..."

The Immortal Divine Silkworm replied with a bitter smile.

These words plunged the demon beasts into silence.

Meanwhile, the Dragon God Sect's demon beasts pondered the ancient monk's corpse buried below.

Distant in the Divine Land,

another shift was unfolding.

An unremarkable mountain range rose there, topped by a humble ancient temple.

Within the temple.

Just over a dozen monks dwelled inside.

In a grand hall of the temple, a red-robed elderly monk suddenly snapped open his eyes from deep meditation.

A golden Exquisite Treasure Mirror suspended before him.

The golden Exquisite Treasure Mirror stayed unchanged at first, then abruptly bubbled like simmering water.

"What's happening? The Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror has abruptly shown an irregularity—has the Dragon Tree Buddha's body in the Hidden Dragon Forbidden Zone been uncovered?"

Astonished, the red-robed old monk swiftly formed hand seals and poured spells into the mirror.

As spells flowed in.

The churning mirror face slowly settled, revealing a profound scene.

That scene displayed.

A vast underground chamber.

A purple-robed ancient Buddha with compassionate eyes and a serene visage rested silently inside a purple copper coffin.

The Buddha's form radiated an aura that kept surging higher.

The heart region even pulsed with faint beats.

"What's this? Has Dragon Tree Buddha made his wished-for return?"

The red-clothed senior monk seemed to comprehend the truth, his shock evident.

Legends of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect told how Dragon Tree Buddha, upon Nirvana, promised his disciple he'd cultivate in loftier Buddha realms and might one day return to the Divine Land to teach.

Inconceivably, eons—millions of years—had flown by since their farewell.

On this day, Dragon Tree Buddha's body stirred back to life.

Indisputably,

Dragon Tree Buddha had verily returned from the distant Buddha realms!
