AST 2424 - Entering the Magical Wonderland, Mysterious Daoist Temple? (1/2)

Emperor City!

Qing Shui and his gang hurried to the Emperor City without any hassle.

It was crowded with people and vehicles. Standing in Emperor City, a sense of wealth was felt in the air. It was an extremely luxurious sense that was really much more bustling and flourishing here than in Blue Star City. Even the atmosphere was exceptionally prosperous here.

Qing Shui and his men headed to the Nine Star Mountain directly.

The Nine Star Mountain was easily located. It was said that the Nine Star Mountain was part of the Sky Penetrating Mountains, but Qing Shui was not sure how true that was. They moved without rest and arrived at the Nine Star Mountain.

Nine Star Mountain was part of the mountain range of the Nine Star Domain, but it was not under the control of any country or force. Yes, a part of it belonged to a certain nation, such as the part of it which was located in the Ice Star Nation. For instance, the sacred place of Ice Star Nation, the Ice Star Divine Hall, was in the part of Nine Star Mountain which belonged to the Ice Star Nation.

The Nine Star Mountain was very high and enormous,like a gigantic dragon when it was seen from far away. It was the biggest mountain in the Nine Star Domain. It was a sacred place of warriors. It had the biggest number of the precious, magical demonic beasts and animals. Treasures were most commonly found here.

They arrived at the foot of Nine Star Mountain. There were neither too many nor too few people here. In fact, it was like this all the time here. These people were all here for adventures. During special occasions like when a magical treasure land opened, the crowd would be much greater.

It was late now. This place must not be the entrance to the magical wonderland. Otherwise, there should have been more people here.

Yet, after asking a big guy, they only realized that this was indeed the entrance to the magical wonderland. However, the wonderland opened a long time ago and many people were already inside. Those who wanted to enter had already done so, and those who did not want to enter would probably stay behind. Hence, there were not many people.

In that case, Qing Shui and the gang entered directly. After all, they used the Nine Continents Step throughout the journey and were not too tired.

Soon after they entered, they saw a glowing main entrance at the border. The door was round in shape as if a cave entrance was carved on the cliff.

The group entered at once.

As soon as they stepped in, the spiritual sense was abundant. There were many people here. In fact, many people came here either for treasure hunting or training.

This magical wonderland was a non-recurring one. Once discovered, it would be open forever until the people used up the spiritual sense inside. Then, it would become an abandoned magical wonderland. There were many similar things in the Nine Continents. The boundary still existed but there were no more treasures. It would slowly become a trainer’s cave or even become an abandoned site.

The magical wonderland was actually a place in the Nine Continents and not an interspace that existed independently. Thus, once discovered, it would always exist. Meanwhile, some interspaces that existed independently would open once after a certain period of time.

“A Daoist temple appeared in front. Nobody can enter it, that is so frustrating,” A man was approaching from far while complaining to himself.

“It’s been three months. People left and nobody has hope for this Daoist temple anymore. They said there is some ancient great formation around it that is unbreakable.”

“In that case, there must be great stuff inside. What a shame, nobody can enter it. Watching a golden mill yet unable to use any is so upsetting.”

“Even if we could enter, we wouldn’t be the ones who get the good stuff. Thus, there must be someone who is more anxious than us about being unable to get in.”

……

Qing Shui was moved as he listened to that. Some things depended on fate. He was rather good in formations, so he walked over without saying anything. He did not plan to ask these people about the location of the Daoist temple.

“We are about to leave and yet there are still people coming in. This group looks very young,” Someone from the previous group said.

“See, there are a few pretty women among them, they are really beautiful,” A guy who was dressed up luxuriously said while staring at the women in Qing Shui’s group.

“Young Master Shui, how come you still want to bring a woman home when you’re leaving?” someone said jokingly.
