Jiang Feng, Ling Luo, and Hundun all looked into the sky, shocked,
As the mantra was chanted, all the red cloths on the floating cages flew out, forming silken roads of red.
All the red silk roads led to the golden Buddha.
At this time, all the cages were opened up. There were many bald children exiting from within, and all of them were around 3 to 9 years old.
When the bald children walked out, they all sat down cross-legged on the silken road next to the cages. They all faced toward the golden buddha, and they chanted the Buddhism mantra.
All the bald children were wearing red bellybands, and their skin was slightly red in color. There was a soft golden glow behind their heads.
However, they did not look holy at all. Instead, they were quite creepy and bloody.
‘Hm?’
‘If I remember correctly, these little monks are part of a setting suggested by some country’s scientist. But I have forgotten about all the details!’ Ling Luo frowned as she said to herself when she saw the little monks.
She was regretting the fact that she had sealed most of her memories about the Divine Dominion when she became a player.
Little Buddha: Level 250 Rank Five Lesser Sacred Master
Sacred Health: 1,500,000
Sacred Attack: 500,000
Sacred Defense: 200,000
…
“These little monks are so powerful. What do they want to do exactly?” Jiang Feng used Identify on one of the monks and then mumbled to himself.
At this time, he noticed that the monk that he had used Identify on had suddenly turned and looked at him.
He saw that the monk had a pair of golden eyes. However, he gave him a weird smile and licked his lips with his reddish tongue. He could not help but shudder.
It was bizarre!
Very bizarre!
Normally, the usage of Identify would not be sensed unless they were very powerful.
While the Little Buddhas were very powerful, they only had the power of Lesser Sacred Masters. He did not understand why he would be discovered.
Especially when he licked his lips. It was as if he was treating him like some kind of delicious food.
“Hehe, what are you waiting for? Since they do not look like anything that is good, I will go and eat all of them!” Hundun laughed when he saw so many little monks and was ready to fly over toward them.
“Stop. Let us take a look first. If I sense anything wrong, I will put both of you into the Lianyao Flask and leave this place.” Jiang Feng pulled Hundun’s wing and dragged it back.
He felt that with such a strange occurrence, something was definitely going to happen. As such, he was ready to stand aside and observe.
Not to mention if there was really any danger, all he needed to do was to make sure that Hundun did not die since he could be revived at any time.
“Look, there is an old monk!” Ling Luo yelled out suddenly and raised her hand while pointing afar.
They saw an old monk wearing rags using a walking stick to slowly walk in their direction.
While the monk was very slow and it looked like he was going to fall down anytime soon, every step he took could cross hundreds of meters.
When Jiang Feng saw that, he was slightly astonished and used Identify on the old monk.
Soul of the Divine Monk Xumi: Invulnerable.
Introduction: Legend has it that he is only second to Tathagata, and possesses the epithet of Master of Space. He was assassinated during the Great Divine-Infernal War ten thousand years ago. However, his soul transformed into the Forty-Nine Paths and escaped, and exists in different places.
Stats: As long as the will of the Divine Monk Xumi exists, it can never be destroyed!
“Divine Monk Xumi? I don’t know him… But he sounds very powerful.”
He had never heard of the Divine Monk Xumi, and he had never heard of such a person in mythologies or histories. But looking at the Divine Monk Xumi’s stats, he knew that the Divine Monk would have been very powerful when he was alive.
However, he was just a soul and had no way to attack him, and he was in a state of invincibility. Then, there was nothing to be worried about.
The Divine Monk Xumi appeared in front of Jiang Feng in a flash, and after huffing and puffing, he said, “Well… That was tiring,”
Jiang Feng stepped forward and said to him respectfully, “Nice to meet you, Divine Monk.”
He was still quite respectful toward the old NPCs that did not show him any hostility. Perhaps, he could even get some treasures or hidden quests.
The Divine Monk Xumi waved his hand, and the surrounding space began to layer on top of each other and form an invisible chair. He sat on it, and looked at Jiang Feng with a faint smile. “Good! Good! Very good!”
Jiang Feng was a bit stunned when he heard him say ‘good’ three times.
“What do you mean, Divine Monk?”
The Divine Monk Xumi then said, “What I mean is that you have much more potential than the previous few Shifter Emperors. You might be able to break open a path for the Shifters!”
Jiang Feng still did not understand what he meant.
The Divine Monk Xumi did not further elaborate, but instead pointed at the Little Buddhas and the golden Buddha and said, “See those Little Buddhas? All those little Buddhas are babies that Tathagata has groomed into Buddha. When the time comes during the coming Great Divine-Infernal War, they would take advantage of the chaos and conquer the Divine Dominion. They would then use their Merits to reconstruct the Divine Dominion, and then, the entire Divine Dominion will suffer a great change!”
“This broken soul is going to disappear soon. But before I disappear, I will open up an exit for you to leave, as well as pass one of my abilities to you. But you have to promise me one thing!”
“What is it?”
“Help me kill Tathagata!”
Ding. System Prompt: Will you accept the hidden quest “The Divine Monk Xumi’s Request?’
“Yes!” Even without the Divine Monk Xumi’s request, he would have to take out Tathagata.
Since he had promised Sun Wukong that he would kill all the gods and buddhas, he would naturally have to kill Tathagata.
“Haha! Shifter Emperor, I hope that we will meet each other again. Farewell!”
Once he had accepted the quest, Divine Monk Xumi laughed as his soul began to dissipate. Before him, a vortex appeared and in front of the vortex was a book.
He extended his hand toward the book and took it in his hand.
Ding. System Prompt: Congratulations. You have learned the Great Saint Skill, “Spatial Barrier.”
“A Great Saint Skill!”
When he heard the system’s voice, Jiang Feng’s eyes opened wide, showing his excitement.
Saints and Lesser Sacred Masters could only master Sacred Skills. It was very difficult for Sacred Skills to reach the level of a Great Saint Skill.
He did not expect to be able to gain a Great Saint Skill in Tathagata’s microworld.
He quickly opened his skill panel and looked at it.
Spatial Barrier: Great Saint Skill, Active Skill
After activation, a spatial barrier will appear around the user’s body. All attacks that hit the spatial barrier will be diverted away. Duration of 5 minutes. Cooldown of 1 hour.
“Very good! With this Spatial Barrier skill, all my enemies’ attacks will fall into another dimension. That means that enemies won’t be able to hit me, and I have 5 minutes worth of Invincibility!” Jiang Feng said excitedly as he looked at that skill.
His guess was that the Divine Monk Xumi’s invulnerability came from a Spatial Barrier that he placed around his soul. That was why no attacks on his soul would be effective.
Despite having such a powerful skill and other skills related to space manipulation, how was the Divine Monk Xumi killed? Perhaps it was needed by the plot.
It could be said that with the Divine Monk Xumi mastering space, no one would be able to kill him since he was invulnerable.
Therefore, his guess was that his death served only as a plot device to advance the game’s story.
