Chi Zu frowned as the abbot sounded different in his ears. "Are you threatening , monk?"
"When did I do that, Donor? I am rely stating the guidelines of the first abbot." Abbot Liang shook his head with a smile. "Please ready your disciples as we are ready to open the realm now."
Without waiting for a response, he turned around and flew back to the jade platform. The Arhats looked at each other, still wary of Chi Zu, but still followed after their abbot.
On the side, the two elders sighed in their hearts; their sigh was one of relief. They could understand why the abbot made such a decision, and they were glad he did so.
"Are they going to fight or not?"
"They are from a demonic sect. Why are they not killing them?"
Even though they understood the reason, it did not an others had the brain cells to understand it as well.
The mont they realized that they were from the Blood Fiend Sect, they wanted their blood to rain like the one they were forced to suffer from.
"If you really want them to die, why don't you go ahead and face him yourself?"
While the rogue cultivators were arguing among themselves, the disciples of the Blood Fiend Sect stood in the front, glancing in their direction with indifference.
"These bastards really know how to run their mouth."
"Bastards?"
"Yeah, discarded trash that has no backing and no one who wants them. What else will you call them if not bastards?"
The group erupted in mocking laughter, making fun of everyone around them.
"Arhats, it's better not to delay the matter any more." Abbot Liang Chen looked at the four old monks before him and smiled lightly. "We cannot let slight hindrances stop us from performing our duties."
His words seed to have affected the monks; the two Arhats who were trying to open the Domain before stepped forward once more.
Hum!
Their arms rose into the air, and qi surged out of their bodies. Everyone, including the rogue cultivators, now turned their attention towards the valley beneath the cliff.
From the mont they arrived, they had seen the clouds move or seen what was hidden beyond the layers of thick clouds that seed to block all kinds of qi senses or soul sense.
The only thing they knew about the valley was its na.
The Valley of Eternal Rest!
But this valley had another na—
The Valley of Fallen Bones!
Knowing the na, they could only formulate their own guesses about what was beyond the clouds.
So thought that it was the grave of previous abbots and the founding ancestor of the Temple of Eternal Body.
While others think it contains secrets bigger than any of the great sects,
But they were all their fantasies, re guesses.
The qi radiating from the two monks resonated with sothing within the valley. A golden object seed to have shot out from beneath the clouds, piercing through them without even making a sound.
The Arhats placed one hand before their chest in a praying position while they raised the other hand in the air, palm facing forward.
The object stopped in the middle of the air before them, and a huge amount of qi rushed from the Arhats into it.
Woosh!
A blinding golden light enveloped the area, causing everyone to squint their eyes; even Chi Zu had to squint his eyes. Soon the light faded, and a huge swastika appeared before everyone.
The aura of the symbol bore down on everyone present, the air stilled, and breaths were held. Everyone could feel an aura of authority and divine calmness coming from it.
Suddenly the symbol moved. It rose in the air and tilted to face towards the ground, or in this case, the bed of clouds.
Zheng!
With another surge of energy, the Swastika slamd into the clouds. Just when everyone thought that the power of the impact would cause the clouds to disperse, they stayed in their place, and the swastika subrged into them.
The golden glow was still visible from within the whiter puffs, enough to see a vague image of the symbol.
Then, it moved again.
The swastika started to spin, slow at first before gaining montum.
Woosh!
"It's moving…"
The clouds also started to move along with it, but they still could not see beyond its veil. Clouds started to turn golden as the speed of the symbol grew.
With the golden glow spreading, the shadow of the object inside vanished; instead, another shadow started to take root.
This shadow was dark, sothing unrecognizable at first glance.
But it was growing, the clouds uplifted, and sothing was pushing them from underneath. It looked like sothing was trying to surface—
And it did!
A greenish-pink lotus bud appeared before everyone. Its stem was going beyond the clouds, which ant it was attached to sothing beyond them.
Closed tightly, the bud gave off ethereal light, sending palpitations in the hearts of onlookers.
They could feel it; the lotus was nothing ordinary.
It was sothing primitive, a treasure beyond their grasp.
Chi Zu's eyes narrowed, 'Should I take this thing for myse—'
As the thought rely crossed his mind, he felt a sense of dread washing over his wrinkled, skinny body. The sense of danger was sothing even the abbot standing beside him could not give him.
He looked for the source of the danger, and it turned out to be the Lotus itself.
'Does that thing have the ability to read emotions and act on its own?' The re idea itself was dreadful. Sothing like that was not sothing he could even touch without dying.
He hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face with his qi and looked around to see how the others reacted.
Only the disciples of his sect and so other rogue cultivators looked as if the world was ending before their eyes.
"Om Mani Pad Hum!"
His eyes twitched towards the old monk, who was looking at the lotus with a look of reverence, his head lowered.
He was forced to look back at the lotus when the light in the area suddenly started to dim.
