965: Chapter 275: A Step Further in Personal Development 965: Chapter 275: A Step Further in Personal Development If it’s fate, take it away!
For the monks from the Buddha World, this was only natural.
If heaven offers a gift, not accepting it would invite misfortune.
Kuran reached for the bronze bell.
“Ding-a-ling!” a clear bell sound echoed, knocking him back.
Kuran’s complexion changed, not afraid of being repelled by the bronze bell, but this sound must not escape Fenbao Rock!
He waved his hands, whipping out a kasaya, which caught all the sound waves of the bell, effectively silencing them within the fabric.
Can’t take it?
Kuran looked at the bronze bell again, his eyes flashing with surprise.
Fenbao Rock was an endless cliff, carved with numerous caves, each holding a treasure.
Each treasure had a description below it, and most caves had conditions to unlock the treasure written, only upon meeting these conditions could one take the treasure.
A few had nothing written, which meant they could be taken freely.
This was set up by Guiwang Mountain for the convenience of their own disciples.
Unlike other Sects, Guiwang Mountain doesn’t require contributions or status to bestow treasures.
Guiwang Mountain is more like a Divine God Beast, even the supreme treasures of the Sect could temporarily be given to disciples in need, perhaps because Guiwang Mountain could only accept a few dozen disciples over tens of thousands of years?
Moreover, there has never been a traitor to Guiwang Mountain among the disciples.
Even so, Fenbao Rock would not be so lax under normal circumstances, and outsiders would have no chance of entering—just like the treasury of the Dragon Turtle Tribe that even the Little Dragon Turtles could freely access, but was absolutely impossible for outsiders!
But how did the Bodhisattva manage to do it, allowing him entry so seamlessly?
Indeed, a Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva!
There were no conditions to unlock it under the bronze bell, and it could be taken directly.
Fenbao Rock didn’t stop him, but the bronze bell itself was resisting.
Kuran licked his lips, shaking the kasaya in his hand and draping it completely over the cave, reaching through it to grasp the bronze bell within the cave.
This treasure shall be secured today!
…
Dried grass, stones, flowing water, even the excrement of wild animals!
On his journey, Su He had removed seven spatial coordinates and had arrived at the foot of Guiwang Mountain when the stars filled the sky.
Looking up, the Tai Chi diagram on Guiwang Mountain rotated—not sure if it was a true treasure or just the “rhyme” condensed by the cultivation of the Guiwang disciples.
Su He was inclined toward the former, similar to the islands floating above Xuanting Mountain—one of which he recognized as the one where the Xuanzhen Old Taoist suppressed the Sealed Emperor Palace Array in the future.
Similar to this island, there were forty-eight more!
Forty-nine Floating Islands, each possessing the power to suppress heaven and earth.
How incredible!
Even in the ancient Di Mountain, there was no such powerful force.
The current Di Mountain, still sealed, surely had even less.
With the ability to rule over Mystery Huang, Guiwang Mountain indeed had unfathomable depth.
Su He became even more cautious, ascending the mountain and searching for the direction to Fenbao Rock.
The name was somewhat terrifying.
However, it was not the matchless existence from the tales of Su He’s past life.
It was just the place where Guiwang Mountain stored treasures.
The prime choice for a heist.
No sooner had Su He stepped onto Guiwang Mountain than he felt something land on him, akin to a Divine Sense, yet he could not discern its source.
The probing methods of Guiwang Mountain!
Su He’s stealth technique had not gone unnoticed by this probe.
Su He’s heart grew cold as he stood still, quietly looking around in all directions, seeing no anomalies.
But wherever he moved, the probing landed accurately on him.
The probing was omnipresent.
This was…
a capability of Guiwang Mountain itself!
A slight awareness was enough to detect the “Spirit” of Guiwang Mountain, an automatic exploration by the Mountain Spirit.
Su He frowned, knowing that under such monitoring, any misstep and the Mountain Spirit would detect him, there was no chance of stealing the treasure.
How did the lurking monk from Buddha World get past it?
As Su He was at a loss, in his External Space, a Command Badge lightly flickered, and the probing that landed on him seemed to hesitate for a moment, then withdrew.
Su He was momentarily taken aback, his consciousness falling into the External Space, which was filled with various items: Source Stones, the Goddess from the Tian Nu Clan, and nearby was the Token.
The Token had an ancient and weathered look, with cloud patterns on the back and the character “Xuan” on the front.
Suddenly, Su He remembered, it was the Token given to him by Thai Zu in the Taihe Palace of Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, allowing him to check the Taoist Scriptures at Guiwang Mountain.
Su He had once thought it was merely a library card and hadn’t taken it too seriously.
The legacy from the Dragon Turtle Tribe hadn’t been fully passed on yet, so studying at Guiwang Mountain’s Dojo would have to wait until he was free.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be useful now.
The Mountain Spirit sensed the Token and left, indifferent to Su He.
Su He paused for a moment, then continued toward Fenbao Rock.
Fenbao Rock was like a honeycomb, with uniquely shaped caves scattered throughout, from a distance, some looked like Star Xuan, others like mountain fires, creating various environments and preserving the treasures inside the caves.
The caves varied in size, some large enough to trap the sky and the earth, others no bigger than a walnut or a palm.
Upon setting foot on Fenbao Rock, before he could even start searching, a faint bell sound drifted down from above.
The sound was very weak, yet it gave Su He a familiar feeling, as if from the bottom of his heart, that he was fated for it!
Was this the Bell that Thai Zu wanted him to steal?
Su He silently moved, climbing upwards.
At the same time, in front of Moon-Questioning Gate, Ji Feixue suddenly looked up toward Guiwang Mountain.
She heard the faint sound of the bell from Guiwang Mountain.
The sound made her heart tremble inexplicably.
Looking up, the scenery of Guiwang Mountain was beautiful, the Tai Chi rotated, showing no clues.
She couldn’t even sense the Dragon Turtles anymore.
The ringing continued unending, but the young man in front of her who was storming the Moon-Questioning Gate seemed not to hear it at all, not even the Ascending Immortal Drum reacted, and Dongxu didn’t come in.
It seemed that only she could hear this sound, and Ji Feixue looked at Guiwang Mountain with furrowed brows.
Su He remained motionless, carefully advancing upwards, and only after half an hour did something unusual appear before his eyes.
