Chapter 100: Entering the Game (3)
Everyone’s faces suddenly became solemn, including the god.
I was on a stretcher, looking very weak and my face was extremely pale, but in fact I was unable to describe the shock I felt.
It was all because of the sky above the huge platform on the stairs… In this space called Guidaowan, there is no night outside. I can see the night where the gods are, and in the sky above this huge platform, I saw a scene that I will never forget.
In the midst of a silent blue, misty place, the sky began to crisscross at the edge of the platform… On the other side were layers of blue, gradually becoming darker, and in the subtleties that your eyes could not capture, it became the deep blue of the night sky.
Yes, the platform was a night sky, with stars twinkling. I had never seen such large stars in the outside world. They were so clear and bright that they seemed to be rolling… and the unknown, cosmic heaven and earth were also interwoven in it, like a gentle but magnificent river flowing. If you closed your eyes lightly, it was as if you could be wrapped in such power.
This scene reminds me of the time I first came to Guidaowan. I was always puzzled by the powerful effects of the magic and the smoothness of the casting. Now that I have seen this mysterious, power-filled night sky, I suddenly understand why.
Where exactly is this place? This thought kept going around in my head, but unfortunately this question was left by heaven and earth, and I don’t think the so-called god can answer it.
All the people looked solemn as they began to walk up the stairs one by one. I was originally immersed in the night sky, but as the people slowly ascended the stairs, I suddenly felt an urge to cry.
Why did I want to cry? I had no answer in my heart, only because the sadness of that moment had overwhelmed all my thoughts, and I had no way to think.
At this moment, the tears rolling down my face were like the most natural thing in the world. When those people finally lifted me up and I stood on the platform, I was already crying without realizing it.
When I stood up, I finally understood where that sadness came from. Here I felt a familiar… familiar smell, a sound that never existed but kept calling out in my ear—Sanwa, Chengyi… Chengyi, Sanwa… I understood what was going on. Here my naturally superior spiritual acuity was infinitely magnified.
I felt the presence of my master!
That day, in the sunlight, when my master looked back, I thought it was a permanent farewell… In fact, I was not confident, and I was just comforting myself in my search.
Now, am I finally close to you?
I suddenly wanted to bend down, lean forward, and gently press against the platform, feeling the Master beneath the altar!
“You don’t have to be afraid like this.” The tone of the deity was a little frivolous and smug.
If he thinks I am afraid, it is not necessarily a bad thing. I wiped away the tears on my face and tried hard not to be afraid.
At this moment, I saw that the platform was covered with complex patterns, just like the platform in the holy village outside of Gui Dao Bay. The only difference was that the platform in the holy village looked like a child who had just learned a few tricks, while this existence looked like a martial arts master standing at the pinnacle.
The reason I have such a strong contrast is because I only glanced at the complex patterns and felt dizzy.
God knows that I was observing these patterns, and he looked at me with a strange smile, shaking his body and looking dizzy. His eyes were actually proud, and he suddenly said to me, “Do you know that these patterns are the most top-level existence in Kunlun? I am here, and this special place has restored it. Do you know how great a thing it is?”
He began to show off to me for no reason. Is this something he should be doing? Maybe… my brows furrowed slightly. Has it already begun?
But in the end, I remained calm and composed. On the platform was a square altar surrounded by low steps on all sides. I looked at it and knew that this must be the final resting place of my master and his friends.
The god was a little crazy at this moment. His eyes did not look at anyone, but at the altar. I don’t know what he was muttering, but I could clearly hear one sentence: I will be free, and this world should be overturned…
At that moment, I felt the power beginning to gently stir up the “waves,” just as the originally gentle and majestic river finally began to rise rapidly and erupt because of the stormy wind and rain…
At the beginning of this change, the god also suddenly became a little crazy. He came over, grabbed me by the arm, and said to me with a feverish look in his eyes, “You really don’t need to be afraid. You will eventually reach the pinnacle of glory with me.”
We both wore the same white robe, and at this moment, because of the sudden eruption of power, the wind on the platform blew our robes wildly… Walking with you to the pinnacle of glory? Or will one of us inevitably perish? My heart began to race, but my face remained expressionless.
Under the platform, a group of people in green robes slowly ascended, and the wind also blew their robes.
I can immediately tell from the aura of these people that they are cultivators… None of them are weak, but they are not strong either, at least not as strong as those around Wu Tian. I don’t know what the gods meant by keeping them around.
“The tide is rising.” The god suddenly said this, and as soon as the words fell, I felt the rolling power of the world above the platform, and the instant violent energy, as if I could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the table, and with a ‘whoosh’ it immediately rushed towards a peak.
The power of heaven and earth can be felt even through breathing. So, if an ordinary person here can learn the incantation and make hand gestures, they can also use magic, and they don’t even need to think about it!
What a unique space, what a magical existence…
The god was so excited at this moment that he pulled me and started walking towards the altar. I calmly pulled away from him and whispered, “I’ll go up myself.”
The god looked at me in surprise, then began to laugh, and then said, “Stinking Taoist, you like to show off your so-called backbone to the end. You think you have realized the Tao, but you are living handcuffed. You can do whatever you want.”
He was not afraid that I could still make waves at this moment. The pale look of exhaustion on my face should be impossible to fake in his eyes.
He walked forward with his hands behind his back, and I followed him step by step.
He stepped onto the stairs, and the wind blew his white robe. His spirited aura was initially suppressed, but later it spread wildly across the entire platform.
I followed behind him, also with my white robe blowing in the wind, but I could feel the most sincere heartbeat beating beneath the altar.
Time had become unimportant at this moment, and we finally walked onto the altar in our own thoughts.
The altar was empty, and it was never very big. There was nothing there except for me and the god, in a space of less than 20 square meters.
I already knew some of it, but now standing on this altar, I felt even more realistically the altar that Lin Xiaohua had described to me.
“Everything here is simple to the extreme. There are only nine patterns, but they are the most important ones,” Lin Xiaohua said with a look on his face that I still remember. He tilted his head, looked confused, and simply said to me, “Don’t ask me why there are only nine. Do you think I look like someone who knows a lot? He said that these nine patterns cannot be described by anyone. They are formed naturally by the power of heaven and earth. Do you understand?” Lin Xiaohua dragged his chin and kept blinking his eyes.
“Don’t ask me why there are only nine. Do you think I look like someone who knows a lot? He said that these nine patterns could not be described by anyone, and that they were formed naturally by the power of heaven and earth. Do you understand?” Lin Xiaohua dragged her chin and her eyes kept blinking.
Oh, this woman… I couldn’t help but smile unconsciously. My eyes lingered on the patterns, but I couldn’t find any emotions anymore, because the vicissitudes of life from heaven and earth had completely overwhelmed me.
On this small altar, I actually felt my own insignificance.
The altar gave me a feeling that reminded me of the boundary stone… the boundary stone that stood in the lake of a million ghosts!
“At this moment, I have finally waited.” The god originally had his hands behind his back, looking at the night sky. At this moment, he sighed and turned around, looking at me and slowly said, “I have finally waited.”
My face was calm, as if I had accepted my fate, but in my heart I was thinking, so the two fish have entered their respective positions, and the short-range confrontation has begun from this moment?
I couldn’t help but sigh, breaking free from the ancient atmosphere. I knew that what was to come was a fight, a fight between unequal forces, but ultimately a fate that could not be escaped…
