Chapter 156- I feel like I’ve been left behind by the times every time I come out of seclusion! (1/2)

Chapter 156- I feel like I’ve been left behind by the times every time I come out of seclusion!

It could only be said, as expected as seclusion maniac True Monarch White! The demon dog Dou Dou sighed in its heart.

While in closed door seclusion he advanced, and the seclusion grounds was smashed to pieces by the Heavenly Tribulation. Although this was seldom seen, but it had happened before in the cultivation world.

But there wasn’t anyone like True Monarch White, who underwent the Heavenly Tribulation while in seclusion and successfully advanced, but continued calmly continuing closed door seclusion and not immediately coming out!

Cultivators went through closed door seclusion mostly for the sake of advancement. Since they had advanced, their goal had been achieved, so they would obviously come out of seclusion to notify their still alive fellow Daoists to celebrate.

Only True Monarch White went into seclusion wholly for the sake of seclusion… to enjoy the process of seclusion itself!

“Which to say, True Monarch White, you’re now a ‘Venerable’?” Dou Dou asked.

“Yes.” True Monarch White calmly nodded his head.

The him as of now was ‘Venerable White’, and no longer ‘True Monarch White’!

Song Shuhang asked curiously, “Then Senior White, how did you become a statue afterwards, and even got enshrined in the nameless temple.”

Also, the timeframe didn’t match up.

True Monarch White had gone into seclusion one hundred and fifty years ago. In the process of the seclusion he had met a Heavenly Tribulation, and the restrictions in the seclusion grounds had all been destroyed. That would be a hundred years of time at most right?

But according to the records of ‘Linyao Village’ regarding the ‘nameless temple’, that Immortal sage statue had been enshrined ‘several centuries ago’.

“It’s a long story.” True Monarch White laughed, and said tirelessly, “That Heavenly Tribulation destroyed my seclusion grounds. I relied on secret arts in the end to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. The remnants of the secret art transformed into the ‘outer statue sh.e.l.l’ you all saw, protecting me within.”

“Then because I had just advanced, I happened to be familiarising myself to my new spiritual energy condition. I didn’t immediately enter closed door seclusion, but a partial cultivation state.”

“Perhaps that Heavenly Tribulation had been too great, and it coincidentally attracted a nearby cultivator. It was a cultivator from the Empty Void Thief Sect. He mistook my seclusion grounds as a good place. He found my seclusion grounds with great difficulty, and got through layers upon layers of mechanisms, digging all the way to my seclusion grounds.”

True Monarch White held his chin, reminiscing about the situation then. “He was very excited after getting to my seclusion grounds. Unfortunately, there weren’t any treasures except for my lifeblood flying sword, ‘Meteor Sword’.

“That cultivator’s cultivation level wasn’t high, and perhaps his vision wasn’t that good. He actually thought my lifeblood flying sword was an ownerless item. He delightedly took away my flying sword… I felt he was quite interesting, so I let him take away my flying sword.”

“So my lifeblood flying sword should be still with him now? After a while I’ll retrieve it. Not having a flying sword is inconvenient. After letting him play with it for a century, he should be satisfied right?”

“…” Dou Dou had a regretful expression. Senior White’s flying sword really had been stolen by someone?

“Immortalstay Sword1, what a good name.” Song Shuhang’s attention was on the flying sword. After experiencing the effects of sword flight a few times, his yearning towards ‘flying swords’ had already reached an extreme level.

The Pekingese Dou Dou asked again. “Then, senior White you were dug up by the villagers digging wells?”

“No, it was still that Empty Void Thief Sect’s cultivator. He was very weird. The first day he took away my flying sword. The second day he came to my seclusion grounds again,and moved the statue I transformed into out. At that time I thought he had discovered my true body. But it seems he just wanted to take out my statue. He stood guard in a daze day and night. He did so for a few days.” True Monarch White said pondering.

Song Shuhang and Dou Dou looked at each other. Without saying, it was definitely caused by that the effect of that special charm senior White gave off right?

Speaking of special charm, Song Shuhang turned his head to look at the deep in thought True Monarch White.

He suddenly felt that the True Monarch White now, was becoming more and more graceful! He was like a black hole, and could draw in people’s gazes, making people unable to take away their eyes.

Even the heart rate would involuntarily start to speed up.

Song Shuhang who had experienced it before quickly turned his head away forcefully. Then, he saw Dou Dou firmly staring at True Monarch White, an expression of being unable to bear taking way its eyes.

Song Shuhang hurriedly patted Dou Dou’s head. Dou Dou was currently flying in the air. If he didn’t look clearly in front, what would they do if they crashed into an airplane?

Dou Dou embarra.s.sedly wagged its tongue, pretending to be panting.

True Monarch White continued, “Then… after about three or four days, that Empty Void Thief Sect’s cultivator suddenly had a terrified expression, and dug a deep hole and buried me into the ground. What a strange fellow!”

“Then, I felt that being buried in the ground didn’t really matter. So I continued to be in closed door meditation. The things after that, I’m not really clear on them. When the villagers dug me up and enshrined me in the Daoist temple I didn’t feel it. You all know what happened next. I only knew I got enshrined as a statue of a divine being when my seclusion ended.” True Monarch White laughed.

When he had awoken from seclusion and found out he had been enshrined in a Daoist temple as a statue of a divine being, he had felt quite embarra.s.sed.

Song Shuhang hiddenly sighed. As expected, legends weren’t reliable. Thinking about it, it was probably because the villagers had pa.s.sed it down orally, as it got pa.s.sed down, the time of the ‘digging out of a divine statue was exaggerated.

……

……

On the other side.

Nanhua Lake City’s television was playing a piece of news. Outside the ‘nameless temple’ of Linyao Village, over a hundred people had collectively brawled, and the scene was very tragic.

The police had already quickly got to the scene, and on the spot arrested about seventy of the brawling crowd…

Also, the statue of a divine being in the ‘nameless temple’ had been stolen by someone in the chaos.

According to the descriptions of the wors.h.i.+ppers present, before the collective brawling of the three waves of over a hundred people, there had been a wave of people who had charged to the ‘nameless temple’ and took away the statue of a divine being.
