Chapter 377 Thousand Light Layers

Jinhua Sect is located on the east side of Central Yuanzhou, an area generally referred to as the East Land.

The Western Region Tantric Buddhism and the Snow Mountain Sect that Taoist Ling Miao planned to rebuild were located on the west side of Central Yuanzhou. To put it more bluntly, the Jinhua Sect was located in the east of Central Plains, while the Snow Mountain Sect was in the west of Central Plains.

Shao Siming and others' trip to the Snow Mountain Sect was equivalent to crossing the Central Plains.

If the area of ​​the Central Plains is calculated in a circle, it is more than six trillion miles. Even if Shao Siming holds the Taiyi Youxian Banner, it is difficult to quickly reach the snow-capped mountains. What's more, the closer the Central Plains is to the core area, the more obvious the remnants of the Holy King's Way are.

Therefore, Shao Siming chose to cross the celestial layer at the beginning, leaving the thick clouds far behind, and gradually entered the Thousand Light Layer.

This layer is also called the flowing light layer and the floating layer. According to records in the Jinhua Sect, the average thickness is about 21,600 miles. It is connected to the changes in the power of the stars above and is pulled by the earth veins below. The operation of the Yuan magnetic field is stable and the flow of Yuan Qi is peaceful. Many immortal monks like to park their own floating islands on this layer.

Therefore, although there is no rain, snow, hail, frost, dew, clouds, fog and other weather phenomena here, you can occasionally see some broken clouds blown away by strong winds.

As the mountains below its feet became smaller and smaller, the cat let out a cry that was somewhat excited and somewhat frightened.

At the same time, the cat also felt that the energy around him was a little strange, and couldn't help looking around in the rainbow bridge.

The first thing that catches your eye is the empty void, the peaceful primordial magnetism and primordial energy, so that there is almost no superfluous thing in sight except for some broken clouds, rain, flying snow, etc. that occasionally flow up from the celestial layer.

The sunlight hanging down from the sky was even hotter, giving people a slightly warm feeling even through the protection of the Rainbow Bridge.

Wu Chaoxi, Feifei and Guo Shan seemed much calmer. The three of them were silently observing the changes in the vital energy around them. Chu Tai, Shi Huajin and others mentioned this when they were instructing them.

The Thousand Light Layer, as the second of the Nine Layers of Heaven, is considered the first layer away from the human world, and the Taiyi Youxian Banner embodies the [Flying Immortal] Dharma that Chu Tai has mastered. They entered this place with the help of the Rainbow Bridge, and can experience the wonders of Flying Immortal from a ritual perspective, which will be of certain benefit to them in mastering the [Flying Immortal] Dharma or understanding similar Dharma in the future.

Shao Siming also intentionally slowed down the pace so that the three could gain a better understanding.

During the trip, the group also saw a number of floating islands suspended in the Thousand Lights Layer, each emitting powerful spiritual energy. The slightly simpler ones were connected to the 4,800 different kinds of Gangsha Yuanqi in the Gangsha Layer, and the stronger ones directly absorbed the Qiantian Gangqi from the Thunder and Fire Layer. The most powerful floating island had already become a cave of its own, and could directly connect to the Divine Network Layer, becoming a link in the water circulation system.

Even if they were just watching from afar, Feifei and the other two were greatly enlightened and gained a new understanding of some of the magical practices.

Similarly, during this process, Chu Tai also saw many unique floating islands through Shao Siming's eyes, and understood many mysteries of magic and supernatural powers.

But after flying for a while, the temperature around them gradually dropped, and I even felt a chill to my heart and lungs.

Shao Siming slowed down the speed of flying on Hongqiao and said, "We are almost there, you can look down."

Wu Chaoxi and the others looked down and saw a huge snow-capped mountain. The top of the mountain slightly broke through the celestial layer and reached into the thousand-light layer. The sunlight fell on the thick ice and snow on the top of the mountain that had never melted, and it actually reflected a light golden glow with a metallic texture.

At the same time, Feifei felt a terrifying cold wind blowing up from the bottom of the snow-capped mountain, surrounding the top of the mountain, carrying pieces of flying snow, turning into sharp edges of ice and snow, as if to take away all life's heat.

"Did the founder of the Snow Mountain Sect pick this up from some other place?" Wu Chaoxi took a breath and showed a look of horror.

The celestial layer, as the lowest layer of the Nine Layers of Heaven, has an average thickness of about nine hundred and sixty miles, while the thickness of the celestial layer in the Western Regions has always been relatively thin, with an average thickness of about five hundred miles.

According to this numerical calculation, the exposed top of the snow-capped mountain is at least 75,000 feet high.

Two mountains of this size were actually moved by Master Jushan and Old Ancestor Jianshan. What was the level of cultivation that old ancestor had back then?

Feifei and Guo Shan, who also understood this, took a breath, especially Feifei. He silently calculated the height of the mountain. The cold wind surrounding the snow-capped mountain was obviously abnormal. If this situation continued to occur, it could only be the influence of the magic power left by the other party or some other people.

What kind of power is it that can leave an impact covering such a large area on a mountain of this size?
Chu Tai, who saw their shock, explained through Shao Siming: "Don't be surprised. The Dao fruit of Master Jushan was very special. Although it was mainly cold ice and snow, it involved certain mountains and divine power."

“Also, don’t think that Master Giant Mountain’s ability to move mountains is that strong. There is an immortal in the Xuanmen sect who is famous for moving mountains. His Tao fruit evolved from the great supernatural power of carrying mountains and chasing the sun. He can move more than ten mountains at the same time.”

"Also, there is a fourth-grade celestial being in the Junmo Dao who practices the secret method of moving mountains. He can easily move tens of thousands of mountains."

At the end, Chu Tai said something that Shi Huajin complained about.

“If Master Jushan was among the best in moving mountains, his nickname wouldn’t be Shoulder Mountain Patriarch.”

After that, Chu Tai added: "As for the cold wind outside the snow mountain, it should be the heavenly weather left by Master Jushan back then."

As he spoke, Chu Tai also looked inside.

Although Shao Siming does not have Chu Tai's original pupil technique, many of Chu Tai's magical powers can be passed on to Shao Siming with the help of the connection between the Dao Fruit fragments.

In addition, the original Dharma intention of Shao Siming's incarnation contained the Dharma of Guanyin, so he easily broke through the obstacles of ice and snow and saw some scenes inside the Great Snow Mountain.

Through the wind and snow, Chu Tai saw a valley inside the snow mountain. The snow all around was crystal clear and flawless, emitting a soft glow. It did not give people the slightest feeling of coldness, but instead contained some vitality, as if the vitality of the entire snow mountain was gathered here.

The vigorous vitality makes the environment in the valley in a vibrant state. Countless plants are full of flowers and fruits, and flowers are everywhere. Sweet honey drips directly from the petals and gathers together to form sweet lakes and rivers of various sizes.

In the center of this wonderful place, there are dozens of towns and villages. The people living in them all have happy expressions on their faces. When they travel, they are supported by precious wheels made of gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, flying back and forth.

Everything was so beautiful, but Chu Tai could see clearly that in the center of this paradise was a dazzling palace built with seven treasures including gold, silver, coral, pearls, and crystals as the core. Inside, a giant golden Buddha was enshrined with a fire wheel behind his head, which continuously burned the faith and wishes of the people who gathered there, purifying them and turning them into a light as bright as the sun, containing the ability to wash away and purify everything.

But this light was filled with a dull and dead feeling, just like when the sunlight was refracted on the surface of the snow-capped mountains, it revealed a light golden glow with a metallic texture.
