Chapter 228: Clues of Godly Mt. Xumi’s Location (2/2)
On this day, Huang Xiaolong stopped beside a river bank at the foothills. Just as he wanted to wash up, a golden light flickered from the riverbed. Although it was only for a split second, Huang Xiaolong caught a glimpse of it.
His actions stopped and he released his spiritual sense, directing it towards the bottom of the river, but his spiritual sense encountered a resistance at the edge of the river bank. Curious, Huang Xiaolong stood up. After a brief hesitation, he leaped up, opened up a path leading downward and made his way to the riverbed.
In the river, Huang Xiaolong dived deeper.
From the surface, the river didn’t seem wide. Only after Huang Xiaolong dived into the river, did he realize it was much bigger than he had thought. He sank more than a hundred zhang deep before he reached the riverbed.
The instant Huang Xiaolong leaped into the river, Old Law and the seven other old men who were watching Huang Xiaolong suddenly noticed that his aura disappeared.
“Could this river be another space dimension?” One of them muttered.
Inside the Buddha Cavern existed links to many different space dimensions. Though the eight of them were guardians of Buddha Cavern, none knew how many of these other dimensions there were within the Buddha Cavern.
“That kid’s aura had vanished totally, no doubt this river is a different space dimension.” Another old man voiced his opinion.
“Old Law, then we…?”
“Go with the flow, our mission is to guard the Buddha Cavern.”
“Yes, Old Law!”
On the other side, down on the riverbed, another bright light flickered and a black hole appeared. Before Huang Xiaolong could react, a great suction force from the black hole wrapped around him, swallowing him in.
His vision blurred. The scene changed and Huang Xiaolong was standing upon a golden sand beach.
“This is…?” In front of Huang Xiaolong was a sea the color of gold, with gentle waves washing upon the golden sand beach. There was a small boat floating on the sea, with an old man in his seventies holding a fishing rod.
At what seemed to be the center of this golden sea sat a golden mountain.
The surroundings were very quiet. Looking at this scene, Huang Xiaolong was stupefied.
“Young man, welcome to the Sea of Suffering.” While Huang Xiaolong was stupefied at the sudden change in his surroundings, the old man on the boat spoke.
“The Sea of Suffering!” Huang Xiaolong looked at the large expanse of golden sea.
The old man raised his head, revealing a long white beard that fluttered in the nonexistent breeze as he smiled at Huang Xiaolong, “It has been sixty thousand years… Finally, someone entered this Sea of Suffering space after a long sixty thousand years.”
“Sixty thousand years!” Huang Xiaolong was shocked. This old man meant to say he stayed in this Sea of Suffering space for more than sixty thousand years? Wouldn’t that mean this old man had lived more than sixty thousand years!
What concept was that!?
Not even a Saint realm expert could live that long!
Could this old man be… Huang Xiaolong sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Young man, you entered Buddha Cavern for the Godly Mt. Xumi right?” The old man continued at his own pace.
Huang Xiaolong was surprised and wary at the same time. How did this old man know?
“Yes.” Seconds later, Huang Xiaolong composed himself and admitted his purpose.
The old man chuckled, “Not bad, at least you’re honest. Then, I shall tell you. Yes, the Godly Mt. Xumi is indeed within the Buddha Cavern.”
The Godly Mt. Xumi was inside the Buddha Cavern!
