Chapter 510: The Peculiarity Of The Shrine And The Creator Of The Tomb
Lin Wu widened his eyes upon learning about this.
“No wonder… could it have been a statue of the Taiji Celestial, perhaps?” Lin Wu wondered and looked inside the shrine.
But there, the statue looked like a completely different man.
“Huh? System whose statue is this?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: According to the recently decrypted information, this person is an elder disciple of the Taiji Celestial and is also the one who built the tomb in the Ming Dao World.
He was called as Daoist Sky Bright and was a very high leveled cultivator. The rest of the records are still encrypted thus, this is all the information currently available.
——
“Hmm… so an elder disciple and the creator of the tomb as well… he must have been assigned to make it in this world and could have even had direct contact with the Taiji Celestial.” Lin Wu muttered.
This was one of the questions that Lin Wu have had in his mind for quite some time now. The location was called as the Taiji Celestial’s tomb, but a tomb was only made when someone died. But from all that Lin Wu had learned till now about the man, it didn’t really seem like he was dead.
Thus, having a tomb for the man that too made by some other disciples seemed strange to him. Plus, the tomb was meant to serve as a place where the Taiji celestial could pass on his inheritance and also take in more disciples.
“System, is the Taiji Celestial… you know… dead?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: This information is currently unknown. According to the information and records that have been decrypted till now, they all point to him being alive.
——
“Hmm… so the system is doubtful, too. Perhaps I’ll learn more in the future. Besides, the Taiji Celestial does not seem like someone that would be able to die easily.” Lin Wu said to himself.
Lin Wu looked at the rest of the notifications and saw that the bloodline of the monkey beast had mutated as well, along with it gaining the affinity to the light element.
Lin Wu knew that the light element was one of the four heavenly elements along with wind, lightning and darkness and was hard to come across. The people who had an affinity for it were quite few and rare to find.
But Lin Wu also knew that the techniques of the Taiji Celestial dealt with the Yin and Yang. One of the most common ways to represent these two aspects was by nothing but Light and darkness.
Light was Yang while darkness was Yin. Thus, if one gained control over the inheritance of the Taiji Celestial, they were bound to gain an affinity to both darkness and Light, eventually.
And considering that, it seemed obvious that the monkey beast might be able to gain an affinity to the light element. After all, even the Taiji Celestia was split into two beings: Bai and Hei.
Plus the Shadow element and the shadow calamity arose from the yin aspect of the Taiji Celestial as well.
Seeing the white marks on the monkey beast’s palms and in the Pentagem, Lin Wu wondered if it was due to that as well. This combined with the monk like appearance, the monkey beast truly looked like an enlightened monk.
“Guess I’ll learn more if I see ahead.” Lin Wu muttered and looked back at the screen before unpausing the memory.
~sweep~sweep~sweep~
The monkey beast continued his endeavor of sweeping the dead leaves until the sound of several footsteps was heard coming from the distance. His ears picked them up very easily but his spirit sense was even faster.
His eyes that were almost closed, opened slightly, and he waved his hand.
~WHOOSH~
~RUSTLE~
A wind started to blow before picking up all of the dead leaves on the ground. The leaves spun in a vortex before being carried to the side and being deposited into a single pile. The monkey beast flipped his hand and the broom that he was using to sweep the backyard shrunk in size before bending and turning into a bangle.
The bangle automatically floated up to his hand and set itself over his wrist. The monkey beast then put his hands inside his sleeves and calmly walked over to the shrine.
“Where the heck did he learn all these dramatic methods? Has he been attending acting school or something?” Lin Wu wondered.
He knew that monkeys had what could be said to be a natural ‘flair’ for drama and acting, but this was usably restricted to them causing mischief and teasing. But this was on a completely different level than what he had thought it would be.
Lin Wu was quite impressed and thought that he was watching some old movie about a Kung Fu master that had been living in seclusion.
Lin Wu switched his attention to the footsteps and wondered who it was that had just arrived here.
“It can only be the disciples of the Frozen cloud sect. But which ones among those are they?” Lin Wu muttered.
The fate of the disciples was pretty much set at this point, depending on what party they were from. If they were just any common disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect, they would be swiftly killed.
If they were a strong disciple they might live for long and struggle before being brutally killed.
Perhaps only the ones that were from Wang Xiong’s camp might survive.
“Oh? It really is them.” Lin Wu realized.
The ones that had arrived were none other than the Nascent soul realm senior disciple that was sent by Wang Xiong along with the rest of his companions. The one surprising thing about them was that they were all alive with not a single person dead.
The same could not be said for the other teams as in most teams, at least one person had been killed if not the entire team itself. The beasts of the millennium forest were harsh and Lin Wu wondered if they would be meeting the same fate too now.
