Chapter 496 - Sage Daojing (1/2)
Still Thought Temple.
The Heavenly Saint looked at the stupefied Zhou Xuanji with an eccentric expression.
He walked up to Zhou Xuanji and waved at him.
But Zhou Xuanji ignored him. He continued to look dumb with his mouth open unconsciously. Saliva was about to drool.
The boy asked, “Is becoming dumb considered being at peace? He’s thinking about nothing.”
The Heavenly Saint was speechless.
Zhou Xuanji’s move was unexpected.
This was too unusual.
Moreover, that sword looked very ordinary!
The Heavenly Saint took the Dumb Sword and began inspecting it.
After Zhou Xuanji lost the Dumb Sword, he slowly regained his consciousness.
Soon, he realized that the Dumb Sword was with the Heavenly Saint, and he quickly took it back.
“How can you snatch another person’s sword as the Heavenly Saint?” he asked with a low voice controlling his rage.
The Heavenly Saint was stunned and smiled.
“You are very street-smart. ”
He shook his head and said, “follow me.
After that, he walked into the gate.
Zhou Xuanji thought about it for a short while before making the decision to follow.
If he chose to reject the Heavenly Saint now, he might provoke the Heavenly Saint’s anger.
And so, he followed the Heavenly Saint into Still Thought Temple.
Once he entered the temple, Zhou Xuanji realized that the space inside was even vaster than it looked from the outside.
The smell of incense pervaded the entire space and refreshed his mind.
He saw demons and humans along the way. They were all cultivating and did not talk to each other. Even though Zhou Xuanji and the Heavenly Saint walked past, they did not open their eyes.
Soon, he saw someone familiar.
Wang Hou!
Zhou Xuanji walked up and said, “Wang Hou, it’s been a long time.”
Having heard him, Wang Hou opened his eyes, dazed.
After seeing that it was Zhou Xuanji, he cried out in disbelief, “How did you…”
But he quickly shut his mouth and was worried that he might wake up the other cultivators around him.
He got up quickly and caught Zhou Xuanji.
“Didn’t you just ascend? How can you come here so soon?” he asked softly.
His Heavenly Law Puppets could communicate with him through their mind. How long had it been since Zhou Xuanji ascended?
He had always been cultivating in Still Thought Temple. Thousands of years had passed since then, and he did not know what was happening in the Great Thousand World.
In Still Thought Temple, one could cultivate for 100,000 years and not die.
He was considered young among the rest.
But compared to Zhou Xuanji…
He just could not comprehend.
Zhou Xuanji smiled and said, “Surprise!”
Wang Hou was at a total loss. He did not know what to say.
“My little friend, come here, quick.”
The Heavenly Saint’s voice came, and Zhou Xuanji could only follow.
“Little friend?”
Wang Hou’s expression became even more astonished. He was filled with curiosity as though a cat scratched his heart.
He suddenly thought of something.
“Ahhh — My Meditative State!”
He wrapped his hands around his head and broke down before sitting on the floor, paralyzed in despair.
He had been in the Meditative State for 10,000 years, and he almost fulfilled the Heavenly Saint’s requirement. And now, he was interrupted by Zhou Xuanji.
Must he restart all over again?
Zhou Xuanji did not know Wang Hou’s breakdown. He continued ahead, looking left and right.
Soon, they walked into a great hall.
There was nothing inside.
The Heavenly Saint turned to look at Zhou Xuanji with his calm expression as usual.
Zhou Xuanji waited for him to speak.
