Chapter 167: Change In Attitude (1/2)
[Northern Lands, Shaman King Mountain]
Shaman King Farbo was sitting on a stone platform in a deep state of meditation without making even a small movement. Not far away, the elders sat on the ground accompanied by their disciples.
Disciples were looking at each other looking for answers, some quietly whispered with each other. It was almost evening and they could not understand why Farbo had called them for a gathering.
The elders remained calm. They sat motionless, without changing their facial expressions, and continued to watch the person sitting in front of them.
Shaman King is not just the sect leader of the Shaman Mountain Sect but also their spiritual guide or Guru.
Among the nine elders, five are Farbo disciples while the other four are disciples of the previous generation Shaman King. They were well aware that Farbo is not just meditating but is going through a very complex spiritual progress.
Half an hour later, Farbo slowly opened his eyes and looked at them calmly.
”Sorry for making you wait, I hope it wasn't long”
”Patriarch, it wasn't long. By observing you we could study how to enter the state of stillness and deep meditation”
Hearing that Farbo nodded ”I believe you learned a lot Jochen, I hope that it will assist you in your future progress”
”It's my pleasure to watch and learn from you, teacher” he bowed and continued ”Master, could you please explain why you have gathered us here today? The summer festival will be held soon, and various tribe leaders are coming to offer their help, we need to make arrangements for them as soon as possible to fasten the preparation progress.
Farbo lowered his eyelashes and looked at Jochen ”It can wait. What I am about to tell you is very important for the future of entire Shaman Mountain Sect”
Upon hearing it, everyone's expression became serious.
'Is it related to the so-called seal of the continent that the person named Dai Yusa announced to the whole continent a couple of days ago? Come to think of it, my teacher was astonished by hearing the name Dai Yusa and even kneeled where he stood. Everyone was surprised by the quick change in his behavior. At that time, our usually calm teacher was crying joyfully with his trembling body'
Remembering the incident from two days ago, Jochen looked at Farbo.
'Please tell us, teacher. All of us are here to listen to your Command.”
”The Heavenly God Trial disappeared” hearing that all of them were shocked.
No, it was too sudden for them. How can the legacy of their ancestors disappear? They recently checked out the ancient Void door in the main hall, and it was still there, closed as always.
The gates of the trail only open every ten thousand years, the next trial will start in 3 months. Now, the Shaman King made such a shocking statement.
Seeing the expression of the elders, Fardo took a big old rusty key out of his spatial ring.
At the center of the key was a golden gem with cracks on it.
The expression of elders turned grave when they saw the cracks on the golden gem.
This key is the most important treasure of their sect. It was left behind by their Ancestor, the first Shaman King Kabo.
The key is used to open the Void Gates. The passage leads to another gate which is located in the secret space of the Heavenly God Trial. When the day of the trial arrives, the golden gem will shine brightly. It was the first time a crack appeared on the surface of the gem.
”All of you can see, the key is now useless. It was something ancestors Kabo had already told us, the message was passed on from generation to generation while keeping it secret from others. It stated that one day the Heavenly God Trial will vanish and the chains that sealed the continent will break.
”Our continent was under a seal? Do you mean that the person called Dai Yusa was telling the truth?” asked Weston, one of the previous generation elders.
”Weston, I am warning you as well as others, don't talk about Lord Dai Yusa in such a casual manner. He is the benefactor of our Kourin family and a being that even our ancestors bow down to. He is the supreme ruler of the universe and the person who overlooks lives in a plane. It is completely beyond the comprehension of us mortals. Only after millions or billions of years of struggle and cultivation can one reach his stage of existence. He is the ancestor of the human race as well as the first spiritual magic users among humans and the first Battle Archmage” said Farbo with a grave expression.
The elders were feeling suffocated just by the imposing atmosphere around him. The disciples had it much worse, some even began to gasp for air but no sound came out.
