"Water flooded the Buddha’s knees, fire burned Lingyun Cave... The current Nanlin Sword Leader hasn’t yet been buried in Lingyun Cave, and the wife of the Green Man King had just been abducted not long ago; this place is still quiet for now...
Xiong Ba probably doesn’t know how many secrets are hidden inside Lingyun Cave."
Jiang Dali looked at the Buddha sitting dangerously across the vast river, feeling slightly emotional.
Even he wasn’t clear about how many secrets Lingyun Cave really hid.
In his last life, he was reborn four years after the Mixed Martial Arts World had begun.
At that ti, Xiong Ba of the World Association had just found Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and the ancient texts unearthed by the families at the ti only revealed that there were the fierce beast Qilin and the Blood Bodhi ford from the cooled Qilin blood inside Lingyun Cave.
However, players from the last life managed to discover many leads through records docunted by the Holy Dynasty.
It was recorded in the Histories of the Holy Dynasty that there was a Dragon Vein in Lingyun Cave, which suppressed the Water Qi and Luck Qi, genuinely a spiritual land. Unbeknownst to them when, it had attracted a Fire Qilin to nest within.
Logically, the Fire Qilin was considered an auspicious beast.
But there were rumors among the Four Great Families last life that the Four Spirits were infected by the resentful energy of the mortals and the evil energy of heaven and earth, eventually turning into fierce beasts that brought calamity to the mortal realm.
In the records of Holy Dynasty, it was often docunted that the Fire Qilin wreaked havoc around, having previously stirred great chaos in the world, prompting so virtuous and strong Martial Artists to venture into the cave to slay the Qilin, thereby triggering a storm of blood and brutality.
Thus, it was unknown how many had perished in Lingyun Cave over the years.
The accumulation of skeletons, treasures, and Martial Arts techniques inside Lingyun Cave could all be anticipated.
However, decades ago, the Emperor of the Divine Martial Country under the Human Emperor of Holy Dynasty had struck the Fire Qilin with a heavy blow, requiring it by the authority of the Human Emperor to guard the Dragon Vein within Lingyun Cave.
Therefore, over the years, the Fire Qilin had never caused trouble again and seed to have fallen into a deep slumber.
"Last life at this ti, the Fire Qilin had erged from Lingyun Cave due to the flooding and brought disaster around, only to eventually retreat back into Lingyun Cave and did not show up.
It seed that the fierce beast was aware of the dangers outside and wary of the Human Emperor, daring not to appear.
This ti, if I want to enter Lingyun Cave, it’s best to lure the Fire Qilin out first to test the waters.
If it’s too dangerous, ignore this beast and venture into Lingyun Cave to explore myself, letting the players help ’walk the dog’."
Jiang Dali had pondered thoroughly.
Seeing the players had started to solidly anchor the boats at the embanknt, he nodded secretly in approval.
This Leshan Giant Buddha was the confluence of the Three Rivers.
The Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, making the water extrely fierce.
Boats often get capsized at this point, with river water crashing directly into the mountain walls, often leading to tragedies of destroyed boats and lost lives.
Thus, Haitong Zen Master had once initiated the carving of the giant Buddha to reduce the killing intensity of the water and ferry the souls, assembling manpower and resources for repairs.
After the completion of the Buddha, the waters of the Three Rivers indeed no longer regained their forr ferocious flow.
Otherwise, with the recent tides, planning to navigate the water would be nothing short of a fool’s dream.
The water had already risen to the Buddha’s knees and was spreading up towards the Buddha’s navel, quickly reaching Lingyun Cave.
Seeing this, Jiang Dali stood up, his gaze sharp as he stared at the distant Lingyun Cave, which faintly emitted red light and hot waves. His expression grew more solemn as he slowly adjusted his True Qi and state.
Although he was prepared to subsequently test his skills against the Fire Qilin.
Facing such a fierce beast comparable to the True Dragon and Fire Phoenix, it would be false to say he wasn’t nervous.
If he hadn’t stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm, he wouldn’t even consider testing the idea.
Even so, Jiang Dali knew that even if he were in the full state of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, he was most likely no match for the Fire Qilin.
If Xiong Ba were here now, facing the Fire Qilin, he too would most likely fall.
"Village Chief, will the Fire Qilin really charge out of Lingyun Cave later?"
Seeing Jiang Dali’s seriousness, Wang Yuyan stepped forward and asked in surprise.
"Of course."
Jiang Dali nodded and turned to look at Wang Yuyan, "That’s why I’ll be sending you onto Demon Hawk’s back later; you’re not an Abnormal Person, staying here would be too dangerous."
"Then, be careful yourself."
Wang Yuyan said nervously, looking towards Lingyun Cave.
Jiang Dali smiled lightly, hands behind his back, and casually said, "Discussing Martial Arts with you these past few days has indeed provided with insights for advancent; I’m just waiting for a great battle to test out the results. If the Fire Qilin does co out later, I indeed intend to wrestle with it."
Seeing Jiang Dali’s confident deanor, Wang Yuyan could only nod, no longer saying anything.
During these days, her feelings were quite complex.
According to logic, she should hate Jiang Dali for confining her in Black Wind Village and turning her into a functional person.
But as ti went on living with Abnormal People and mountain bandits.
She found that these people weren’t as horrible or fierce as she imagined.
Even quite interesting and highly respectful towards her.
Although Black Wind Village was a band of mountain bandits often committing highway robbery.
They still followed a code of conduct, never wantonly murdering or oppressing the local villagers.
On the contrary, if a fierce animal from the mountain attacked soone in the surrounding villages.
The Abnormal People in the village would often actively organize themselves to eliminate the threat, showing a side of true benevolence.
Since Black Wind Village had absorbed a large number of Abnormal People, the security and order around each village had substantially improved.
So villagers even when having conflicts, rather than going to the city to seek official help, would run to the mountain village to seek diation from the Abnormal People and mountain bandits.
Thus, the reputation of the Black Wind Village Chief in Hui Prefecture among the people was already extraordinary, known as Lord Hei Tian.
