Chapter 1248 (2/2)

However, Tang Wulin couldn't make out their exact appearances. He could only barely make out the man's eyes, which was a pair of eyes that were extremely clear and seemed to be able to illuminate everything. Deep within those eyes, Tang Wulin saw himself.

A burst of sharp pain suddenly speared through his mind, and everything around him crumbled before quickly vanis.h.i.+ng.

”Argh!” Tang Wulin let loose an agonized cry, and when he could make out his surroundings again, he discovered that he had returned to the golden world from before. Old Tang was standing right next to him.

Tang Wulin panted heavily, and he was struck by an intense burst of feebleness that made him feel as if his mind were about to crumble.

Old Tang pressed a hand against his forehead, and faint golden halos of light revolved around his head, bringing a cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling that made him feel a lot better.

”What happened? What was that, Old Tang?” Tang Wulin asked in a slightly breathless manner.

Old Tang appraised him with a smile, and replied, ”That was a call from afar. I've finally completed a connection with them. I don't know why I had to do that, and I don't know where this connection leads to, but I can tell you that this is extremely important for you.”

Tang Wulin was very perplexed. ”I don't understand what you're saying!”

Old Tang elaborated, ”To put it simply, right after you absorbed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the urge to contact something in the distance automatically appeared in my mind. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was to be used as an intermediary to facilitate this contact, and all I know is that this is my mission. It's very important, and it's also the most important thing that's embedded deep in my memory. Hence, I began to attempt to contact those in the distance and finally established the most basic connection. After that, I brought you here as my power alone isn't enough to complete this connection; only your aura can accomplish this.”

Tang Wulin stared at him in a flabbergasted manner. ”I still don't understand.”

Old Tang shrugged in response. ”I don't understand, either. Perhaps we'll only be able to understand the situation once you complete the connection and get into contact with them. For now, you don't need to understand too much anyway.”

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”I'm only getting more and more confused. Is this supposed to be very important to me?”

Old Tang nodded in a serious manner. ”This is an extremely important matter for you. I don't know why that's the case for now, but you have to contact that distant place, and that requires you to become sufficiently powerful. This type of contact takes place across planets, and the other planet is an extremely distant one. The ones on the other side will be bearing the brunt of the energy expenditure required to facilitate contact, but you also have to be powerful enough to connect with the signal from the other side. To put it in simpler terms, you still need to make drastic improvements in your physical abilities and spiritual power.”

Tang Wulin was still quite befuddled. ”What level do I need to reach before I can complete this contact?”

Old Tang had no answer for this. ”I still don't know yet, but what I can tell is you is that your current power level is only enough to complete the basic contact that you saw earlier. It allows you to sense those on the other side, and as you grow more powerful, this connection will become clearer and clearer. I suggest trying again after you break your 12th Golden Dragon King seal or you make some other ma.s.sive improvement, such as attaining a spiritual domain. When that time comes, perhaps you'll be able to understand why this connection is so important, as well as who's on the other side.”

Tang Wulin shrugged in a resigned manner. ”Alright, then, I'll be sure to give it a try in the future. That feeling really wasn't all that great, though.”

A contemplative look appeared in Tang Wulin's eyes as he spoke. He had been struck by an indescribably horrible feeling when he had heard those voices. It was as if something had gotten stuck in his throat, and the feeling was quite prominent, but also rather difficult to pinpoint and substantiate.
