Chapter 279: The Era Before the Lankavatara Sutra Was Preached
Amidst the dark clouds shrouding the land, a Jinling Sect transport ship was flying rapidly.

This advanced aircraft is using the jump drive's anti-gravity normal cruise mode, making only a slight "buzzing" sound during flight.

Although the flight noise is low, the speed is extremely fast, reaching three thousand miles per hour.

Every hour of flight, the bomb bay at the rear of the spacecraft will open and drop a beacon robot.

This beacon robot will glide to the ground and then unfold into a network signal relay station to ensure that the base camp's network signal can cover the area where the spacecraft passes.

Inside the transport ship, Wen Rui and Luosha woman were sitting in the cockpit together, and Wen Rui was looking through a hand-drawn map.

The map was drawn by Luosha before she set out, but the drawing skills were extremely poor. It looked like a kindergarten child's graffiti, and there was a big problem with the scale. Although many mountains and rivers that could be used as landmarks were marked, there were errors everywhere.

At least the area that the transport ship flew over did not match what was drawn on her map.

Wen Rui said angrily: "This broken map may only have the direction drawn correctly!"

"I only walked past this once a few hundred years ago. I can't remember it clearly..."

The Rakshasa woman said aggrievedly: "It's good enough that you can remember the direction. You know, there is no sun, moon or stars in the earth, so it is difficult to tell the direction."

Wen Rui thought so too. If he were traveling in complete darkness, it would be difficult for him not to get lost even with darkvision.

But then he became a little worried and asked quickly: "Hearing what you said, I'm beginning to worry that the direction is wrong. Are you sure you should fly this way? Is this really the west? How do you judge?"

It is no wonder that Wen Rui suspected that she might have got the wrong direction, because the earth's magnetic field is chaotic, and the compass here is spinning and pointing randomly.

The Rakshasa woman quickly swore, "The direction is definitely correct. I can sense the general direction of my people. This is a natural talent of the natives of the land."

Wen Rui nodded slowly. It was true that people are shaped by the land and water they live in. The Rakshasa woman's explanation was very reasonable.

In the land shrouded in darkness, there is no sun during the day, no stars at night, and the geomagnetic field is inaccurate. If the natives do not master some special abilities to find their way, they simply cannot survive.

Wen Rui pointed to the upper left corner of the map, which was also the final destination marked on the map, and said, "This Lanka City is your hometown, the main city of the Rakshasa tribe?"

"Yes, to reach Lanka, you must first cross the Endless Sea and climb over Mount Maraya." The Rakshasa pointed to the small hill with the small pond she had drawn on the map and said, "Back then, I went through untold hardships to cross the mountains and the sea. I drifted on the sea for fifty years alone."

She looked around at the interior of the transport ship, and said with envy and amazement, "Your flying boat is really magical, comparable to the flying car 'Flower Palace' of Western religion. If I hadn't seen you command the metal puppets to build it bit by bit, I wouldn't have believed that such a magical object could be built with ordinary iron."

"That's because you are too ignorant." Wen Rui said with regret: "I am limited by the conditions of the land and the limited time. Otherwise, I would have built the 'Golden Spirit No. 1'. The giant flying boat Golden Spirit No. should have been floating on the Tianhe River and become the treasure ship used by the Jade Emperor to patrol the sky."

A month has passed since the start of the journey, with the high-speed flight of three thousand miles per hour. At least one million kilometers have been flown, but we have not yet crossed the Endless Sea.

Wen Rui made a rough calculation of the mileage. It took him 200,000 kilometers to fly out of the dead and silent ghost wasteland. After leaving the wasteland, there were endless mountains and rift valleys. He flew another 300,000 kilometers before arriving over the ocean.

After flying 500,000 kilometers across the ocean, the other side is still out of sight.

One million kilometers is obviously far beyond the scale of the Earth and is enough to circle the Earth more than twenty times.

Wen Rui guessed that the earth, the human world and the heaven are in different time and space regions, so the speed of time flow and the distance scale are very different.

The heavens and the earth are extremely vast. In comparison, the human world is like a small island between two continents.

During the journey, Wen Rui also learned from the Rakshasa woman that the passage from the earth to the human world is not just the Ghost Gate, there are several passages in the evil demon domain, but some of those passages lead directly to the heaven, and some are in the territory of the Western religion, which are also heavily guarded. There are also some passages where the Shura and Rakshasa tribes are fighting with the heavenly beings and the guardian gods of the Western religion, which are extremely dangerous battlefield areas.

In comparison, the guarding force at Ghost Gate is relatively weak and safe.

Because of this, the Rakshasa woman chose to go far away instead of near, traveling in the vast and desolate land for a hundred years, and finally came to the dark ghost realm in the east. She then found a weak point in the barrier of the realm near the Ghost Gate and secretly drilled a hole to slip into the human world.

Transport ships equipped with jump engines can actually perform fuzzy jumps. As long as they roughly choose the jump direction and jump distance, they can cross a million kilometers in an instant.

But Wenrui still chose the regular cruise mode, mainly to deploy network signal relay base stations along the way to keep the network signal unobstructed.

Wen Rui’s combat effectiveness is completely different with and without the internet.

When there is sufficient bandwidth, Jarvis can obtain the huge computing power provided by the cloud server.

In addition, Wen Rui can also summon reinforcements to the base at any time to provide support.

After several years of construction, all kinds of factories in the Earth Realm Base Camp have been completed and put into production, and robots and transport ships are produced from the assembly lines every minute and every second.

The basic unit particles of nanorobots are also continuously produced and loaded into nanounits to launch missiles.

During the journey, Wen Rui also used remote sensing radar to conduct a simple exploration along the way. The biggest discovery was that after leaving the Netherworld, he detected life signals.

The Yin energy in the Netherworld is so strong that it is difficult for living creatures to survive. Once out of the Netherworld, the concentration of Yin energy decreases and some creatures adapt to the environment. Although their population is small, they can still survive and reproduce.

Of course, the number of creatures cannot be compared with that in the mortal world, it can be said to be pitifully small.

For example, in the endless sea that the transport ship is flying over at this moment, although there are aquatic creatures in the sea, it is completely different from the situation in the seas of the mortal world where life is prosperous and there are many aquatic creatures.

There are no dragons in this vast ocean, but there are some huge sea beasts, sea monsters and sirens. However, these sea beasts have no intelligence and still follow their instincts, devouring all living things they see.

The journey lasted for nearly another month, and a million kilometers of ocean were finally crossed. Wen Rui checked the radar reflection signal and found that a land reflection wave pattern appeared thousands of miles ahead.

Judging from the map, we should be reaching the border of the Moruoya Mountains.

Only after crossing the great Maraya mountain can one officially enter the border of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

However, the Moraviha Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles. After crossing this mountain range, one must also cross several small Moraviha Mountains before reaching the city of Lanka.

It seems that Western religions also came to Lanka to preach later. Tathagata preached the Lankavatara Sutra in Lanka and converted all the Rakshasas in the city.

But now the Rakshasa King Varana is not dead yet. He is the most devout believer of Lord Shiva and it is impossible for him to convert to Buddhism.

In other words, Western religions have not yet begun to spread their religion in this city.

When Wen Rui thought about how the Western religion's empty talk of good deeds could fool the demons in Lanka City, he became even more excited.

If we can spread the Jiejiao Dharma to the Rakshasas before the Western religion does and seize the Taoist tradition here, the progress bar of the Jiejiao revival task will increase by at least 10 percentage points.
