Chapter 598: Dream and Fantasy



But who had taken them out?

How had they ended up in Yao Tuohai’s hands?

Only one thing was certain from Yao Susu’s final words. Yao Tuohai had failed to discover the true secret of the Nameless Pagoda and the secret map!

The secret map had already transformed into the Buddhist verse that seemed to be imprinted into the air. The words hung down like beads on a string, pulsing with sacred light. It was honestly a marvelous sight to behold.

“This is the blessing, this is fate!”

Toady suddenly sighed with a rarely seen look of solemnness. “If you only possessed the secret map, then you would not have been able to discover this verse. Likewise, this would not have happened without the Nameless Pagoda either.”

He paused and looked around the entire temple before he continued, “Most importantly, even if you had both the Nameless Pagoda and the secret map, if you did not come to this place, none of these unbelievable events would have happened.”

“In other words, the temple, the Nameless Pagoda, and the secret map are tied together by karma, and have a lock and key relationship. Only when all three appear together would we be able to see this!”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan felt enlightened by Toady’s words.

They looked at the glimmering Buddhist verse in the air. Each word was filled with a sacred aura and pulsed with indescribable dao profoundness.

“This Buddhist verse is not simple. It is likely left by the master of this palace and contains unimaginable secrets.”

Toady’s golden eyes glowed as he carefully studied the words. “Don’t forget that the various ancient pictures on the walls are now fused into these dao words. There must be some deeper meaning to them!”

Lin Xun asked, “Have you discovered any clues?”

He naturally also knew that it was no ordinary verse. Why else would such a magical transformation have occurred?

“Look at the first sentence. Treading the starry path, strolling up Kunlun.”

With a serious expression, Toady said, “Do you still remember the Four Great Dao Dominions this king told you about? According to ancient legend, to climb Kunlun, you must first cross an ancient path of stars that spans across the galaxy!”

“You mean the first sentence is related to entering the ancient starry path and heading to the Kunlun Dominion?”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were bewildered. This was the first time they had heard of this ancient secret.

“I am ninety percent certain. The master of this temple must have viewed the ancient starry path as a ‘shoe’ to walk upon the Kunlun Dominion. From his bold view, it is certain that his cultivation must have been terrifying beyond comprehension.”

Toady sighed softly and said, “That’s the Kunlun Dominion, one of the Four Great Dao Dominions. It is even more mysterious than the Return Dominion and is said to be related to the true path of the immortals. Even the saints of the ancient era have never seen the true face of the Kunlun Dominion!”

Lin Xun\'s heart churned wildly. He could not help but ask, “What does the second sentence mean?”

“Embracing the sun and moon with a sleeve, holding the heavens in the palm…”

Toady carefully read each word, but could not seem to figure it out. After some hesitation, he said, “It could be describing some kind of cultivation stage. Upon reaching this stage, one will become capable of grabbing the sun or moon with a wave of the sleeve, and wield all of the secrets of the world in the palm of one’s hand.”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were stunned. Such a cultivation stage was far too terrifying and impossible to measure!

“However, the sentence is definitely not as simple as it appears.”

Toady scratched his head. “This king has a feeling that the verse hides a big secret that we are unable to understand or figure out with our current capabilities.”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were in agreement.

“When I faced that woman earlier, she managed to block all of my attacks with that secret map. I originally thought that it was some kind of amazing saint treasure. Who could have imagined that it would ultimately transform into a Buddhist verse? This alone shows just how extraordinary the verse is.”

Zhao Jingxuan’s clear eyes gleamed. There was a trace of indescribable awe in her voice.

Everything they had witnessed was beyond their comprehension, and they were unable to grasp the true meaning of it all.

From this, it was easy to imagine how supreme of an existence the master who created all this was.

Omm!

At this moment, the verse imprinted on the air suddenly rippled and transformed into dazzling droplets of light that rushed into the Nameless Pagoda.

Lin Xun jerked to attention and hurriedly began to investigate. However, the outcome disappointed him.

The droplets of light were nowhere to be found after entering the Nameless Pagoda, and no changes had occurred.

Simply put, they seemed to have evaporated inside the Nameless Pagoda.

Despite this, it still made Toady turn green with envy.

His eyes bulged from their sockets as he greedily stared at the Nameless Pagoda in Lin Xun’s hand like a hungry wolf that had encountered juicy prey. “This is definitely a supreme treasure with crazy origins! Not only is it made from Genesium, but there is also a great secret from the ancient era concealed within it!”

If Lin Xun didn’t vigilantly store away the pagoda, then the greedy Toady would have likely already charged at him and tried to snatch it away.

Toady wasn’t angered by Lin Xun’s reaction because his gaze quickly shifted to the platform at the end of the temple.

That was where the important ‘blessing’ was!

Gorgeous treasure light flowed on the platform. There were dao manuals, copper chimes, wooden fish, horsetail whisks, guard rulers, azure lamps…

It was a dazzling mix of bright colors that would make anyone feel dizzy.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan also moved toward the platform.

They had revealed themselves earlier in order to stop Yao Susu and the others from obtaining the treasures on the platform. Since there were no more competitors, the treasures were now theirs!

“No wonder the passageway was littered with saint corpses. They willingly waited till their deaths for the treasures in the temple. I can now see that it is indeed unimaginably enticing.”

Zhao Jingxuan sighed.

Lin Xun had the same feeling. Every treasure on the platform would probably shake the world. Any one of them would make the old monsters outside desperately fight over it.

“Oooh!”

Toady could no longer wait. Breathing heavily, he released a strange guttural cry and pounced forward like a ghost seeking reincarnation.

Swish!

His sleeve swept forth to collect all of the treasures but the treasure light suddenly shattered and disappeared like bubbles, leaving nothing but empty air.

“What! An illusion? Have the treasures on the platform been taken away by someone?”

Veins popped on Toady’s forehead. He gnashed his teeth in anger as he beat his chest with his fist.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were also taken aback. Had everything just been an illusion? Had the treasures been taken away by someone already?

Toady roared in frustration, “Horrible, how horrible. Someone is obviously toying with us!”

They had unraveled many mysteries, found the hidden passage after much difficulty, and arrived here after crossing the passageway filled with numerous saint corpses.

They had originally believed the blessing was finally within reach. Who could have imagined that it was all just an illusion!?

Was this what it felt like when fate made fun of you?

“Quickly look!”

Lin Xun suddenly said as he pointed at the empty platform. Dao light swirled and a pile of divine materials appeared.

“Deep Void Metal, Five Elements Soil, Cloud Trace Celestial Gold…” Toady’s golden pupils burned brightly as he grew excited again.

He waved his sleeve again to collect them, but they disappeared like bubbles again.

Moments later, dao light swirled again and transformed into numerous artifacts that gave off saint auras.

Toady bellowed, “Trying to make a fool of this king?!”

He was genuinely pissed. The blessing they had tried so hard to find didn’t exist and was just an illusion. Who would feel good after realizing this?

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan were also filled with regret. There was nothing more disappointing than entering a treasure trove just to find nothing. Such a frustrating situation would make anyone sad.

“Oh my god! That’s Violet Soul Divine Silver and a Spirit Phoenix True Feather!”

Toady’s eyes opened wide. The treasures created on the platform were far too astonishing. They were rare and almost unattainable even in the ancient era.

Unfortunately, these were all just illusions!

Toady tried again many more times. In the end, he gave up amidst a tirade of cursing, his face filled with frustration and resentment.

“F*ck his granny, it’s indeed a scam. What Violet Cloud Sacred Mountain, what Fangchun Mountain, what crescent moon three stars, what secret of the Boddhi, what fated person. They all don’t exist, so what else can this be but a scam?”

Toady crouched on the floor, his cheeks puffed in anger. “No wonder similar messages were left on the forty-nine altars. They were all obviously scammed! All those saint corpses in the passageway, how would they feel if they knew that the blessing they had waited their entire lives for was just an illusion…”

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan looked at each other.

“Let me try.”

Unable to give up, Zhao Jingxuan took a deep breath, walked forward, and grabbed at the platform with a slender hand.

Shaa!

The treasures shattered like bubbles. Toady prepared to mock Zhao Jingxuan so she would give up as well.

Who could have imagined that at the final moment, one of the black rocks did not disappear and was caught in her hand?

“Eh?”

Toady’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets. He immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, “Impossible, how come you got a treasure when you tried? Not fair! Quick, quick, quick show this king what kind of treasure it is.”

He immediately lunged forward to snatch the stone.

However, Lin Xun smacked him on the back of the head and scolded, “Can you calm down? You’re far too easily excited!”

Despite saying this, his gaze could not help but be drawn toward Zhao Jingxuan’s hand as well.
