Chapter 821 – The Palm Falls Toward the Stone (2/2)
So how can she tell where I'm going? Why is she so fast!
What made him even more uneasy was that when he was flying through the forest earlier, he felt like a cold wind had been blowing at his neck.
It was like someone had been behind him this entire time…
He knew that he had to use all his strength.
A divine Qi erupted from his Daoist robes, countless pure rays of light shooting out from his palm.
This was a white stone, perfectly round. Those who had visited the Heaven Lake of Mount Han would recognize it as a Heavenstone.
This Heavenstone was inlaid with an extremely complex pattern of black gold, forming an array. It looked extremely beautiful, perhaps worthy of being called a perfect intersection of man and nature.
This was one of the precious treasures of the Orthodoxy: the Falling Star Stone.
……
……
An Lin's conjecture was proved at this sight, throwing her into a fury.
Daoist Baishi had been able to preserve the majority of his strength after taking Linghai Zhiwang's full-force sneak attack precisely because he held the Falling Star Stone in his palm.
The Falling Star Stone was the treasure of the Orthodoxy controlled by Daoist Baishi. An Lin, Linghai Zhiwang and the other Prefects had their own treasures.
These treasures were divine artifacts, and formed extremely critical parts of the Li Palace's array. They were of utmost importance to the Orthodoxy.
Without the Pope's order, no one, including the Orthodoxy Prefects that wielded the treasures, could take them out of the Li Palace.
Daoist Baishi had secretly brought the Falling Star Stone with him. Regardless of his intentions, he had contravened the laws of the church!
An Lin waved her right hand, causing her belt to fly off and carry countless pear blossoms as it attempted to surround Daoist Baishi.
”Did you think you could keep me here with just that?” Daoist Baishi shouted as he stared at the little girl in front of him.
In truth, his question was also aimed at that phantom-like person behind him, and at An Lin, and even more at Chen Changsheng.
As he spoke, he smashed the Falling Star Stone down to the ground.
An Lin knew that this was not good. Although her belt had not finished establishing an array, she charged into the forest.
The Falling Star Stone fell against the ground. It did not make a single sound, and not even the petals and leaves trembled in the slightest.
An archaic and timeworn power suddenly manifested.
The wind suddenly began to blow towards the Falling Star Stone, as did the petals and leaves on the ground.
The Falling Star Stone seemed to transform into a massive vortex, swallowing up everything it touched. Even the surrounding laws of the world began to twist.
An incredibly deep black hole appeared over the ground. It seemed just one zhang in radius, but also boundless and infinite.
The Falling Star Stone floated in the middle of it, exuding a faint light and appearing like a real star.
The wind, flowers, and leaves continued to sink inside, vanishing without a trace.
”Stop him!” An Lin hurriedly shouted.
The Falling Star Stone was truly worthy of its status as a divine artifact and treasure of the Orthodoxy. It had actually torn open space and opened a path to a different place!
Daoist Baishi expressionlessly glanced at her.
The Falling Star Stone had already completely activated. Neither the girl in front of him nor that phantom individual behind could stop him.
He walked towards that dark path.
If all went as expected, he would soon appear several hundred li away on the plains.
But… the unexpected occurred.
His feet had clearly stepped into the dark path, but why did he feel like he was still stepping onto mud?
Why could he still feel petals and leaves under his feet?
