Chapter 1519: Chapter 1519 Turning Into Dust
There were many rooms in the castle, many of which were empty.
But as he walked, Ye Liuyun suddenly discovered a martial practitioner meditating in a room.
Ye Liuyun immediately stopped and used his Divine Sense to probe the area. He discovered that the martial practitioner was not breathing.
Ye Liuyun was surprised. He greeted the martial practitioner and he did not respond.
He immediately opened Golden Phantom Eyes and found that the virtuoso of the martial practitioner was still there, but it was true that he was no longer breathing and his heart did not beat.
"This is the legendary living death!"
Ye Liuyun approached the martial practitioner with curiosity.
However, Arya acted as if she did not see anything unusual about Ye Liuyun and continued walking forward.
"Arya, wait for me!" Ye Liuyun called out to Arya. He thought that she had heard him, so he entered the house, protected himself with his advance energy, and slowly approached the martial practitioner.
Golden Phantom Eyes had been paying attention to the martial practitioner. Seeing that he did not respond, he stretched out a finger and gently pushed the shoulder of the martial practitioner.
Usually, when other people’s cultivation was disturbed, genuine energy would protect the cultivators spontaneously and bounce off with some slight attacks.
However, what shocked Ye Liuyun was that the martial practitioner had actually started to turn into dust from the shoulder that he had touched. Then, his entire person turned into a pile of dust and landed on the ground.
Even his virtuoso and Interspatial Ring were turned into dust, leaving nothing behind.
Ye Liuyun was so shocked that he hurriedly retreated to the outside of the room. Seeing that there was no other movement in the pile of dust, he felt a little relieved.
But as soon as he took a breath, he found that Arya was gone.
"Arya!" Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense, but he could not find Arya’s figure. He immediately began to shout.
But after shouting for a long time, there was no response. freёwebnovel.com
"Is there really something strange here?"
Ye Liuyun’s Universal God Token had yet to respond as well.
That meant he was not under any illusion.
"But where did Arya go?" The castle was not very big. Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense could completely cover this place.
"If I hadn’t been enchanted, how could I not find Arya? Did she also enter a certain room?"
In the room here, his Divine Sense could not be detected.
The more Ye Liuyun thought about it, the stranger he felt.
He glanced at the dust of the martial practitioner and immediately sped up to the front.
He felt that Arya must have been trapped by some force and would not be in danger for the time being. If he wanted to save Arya, he had to continue to go deeper and meet the person behind the scenes.
Ye Liuyun had not gone far when he found another martial practitioner in a room. In the same situation, he stopped and went in to try. The result was the same. As soon as he touched it, the martial practitioner immediately turned into a pile of dust.
"What a pity for the Interspatial Ring!"
Ye Liuyun did not linger for long. He sighed and continued walking forward. The next time he encountered such a situation, he would go to pick up the Interspatial Ring first. However, the result was the same.
He shook his head helplessly and stopped trying. But every time he encountered such a situation, he would use Golden Phantom Eyes to find out if those martial practitioners were dead or alive.
There were men and women, but none of them were still alive.
"Oh no! If Arya also enters the room, will she become the same as them!"
Ye Liuyun felt uneasy.
If Arya died here, he would definitely feel sorry for her.
Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun immediately sped up and rushed to the center of the castle.
In the center of the castle, there was a huge square. In the center of the square, there was a wooden statue carved with the appearance of a monk.
The monk put his palms together and lowered his eyes. His lips were slightly opened as if he was chanting scriptures.
Ye Liuyun did not pay attention to the statue. Instead, he looked at a large hall in front of him, searching for Arya’s figure.
However, just as he was about to cross over the statue and head toward the main hall, he suddenly felt the Sanskrit sounds he had heard earlier coming from the statue’s mouth.
He carefully tried to distinguish them, but he did not think so.
He was stunned and also made a bow to the monk with his palms folded. After all, benefiting from the power of the Buddha’s halo, Ye Liuyun considered himself connected to the Buddhist path. Being courteous to the statues of monks was a small gesture with no significant consequences.
But the moment he lowered his head, he could clearly feel that the chanting was coming from the monk.
When he looked up, he was even more astonished.
The statue’s lips were really moving.
"The statue is alive!" Ye Liuyun was so frightened that he took several steps back.
When he looked at the statue again, his eyes slowly opened as well. He looked at Ye Liuyun with a glint in his eyes.
Immediately after, a smile appeared on the face of the statue. It chanted the name of Buddha and bowed deeply to Ye Liuyun.
Only then did Ye Liuyun come to his senses. He used Golden Phantom Eyes to scan the statue, only to find that the monk did not have a virtuoso. However, his body was filled with the power of the Buddha’s halo, which was much stronger than his.
"You... are you alive?"
Ye Liuyun probed.
"That’s not important!" The monk actually spoke.
"Uh..." Ye Liuyun did not know what to say for a moment.
He did not notice before whether this statue was a living person or a real one.
Therefore, he was not sure whether the statue was alive or this person had been standing there to cultivate.
"I have a friend named Arya. Have you seen her?"
Ye Liuyun calmed himself down. He felt that Arya’s disappearance might have something to do with the monk, so he asked.
"She has her own opportunities, and so do you. You two have different paths!" The monk replied.
"What kind of opportunities is it?" Ye Liuyun did not know much about this monk, so he naturally wanted to ask more about it.
"It’s up to you to decide what kind of opportunity it is!" The monk said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun once again sized up the monk and found that his appearance was still the same. There was no change.
"Did you cultivate and turn into a human with a tree? Or are you a Tree Master?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion. freёweɓnovel.com
"It’s just a bag of skin, and it’ll eventually turn into dust. It’s all an illusion on the outside!" The monk saw that Ye Liuyun did not understand and continued with a smile, "You can’t understand what I’m talking about with you now! Since you’re fated to come here, then go and look for the opportunity that belongs to you!"
"Where to look for opportunities?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
"Whatever! As long as you are loyal to the Buddha!" The monk closed his eyes again and stood there like a statue of wood.
"Are all the Buddhist and Taoist people talk like this? Or is this monk playing tricks on me?"
Ye Liuyun realised that he could not understand a thing or two from the monk.
"Or my understanding level is limited, can’t I understand?"
Ye Liuyun pondered as he slowly walked forward.
He felt that it was all possible.
Just like what the God of War had told him before, he needed to find the answer himself. But as his strength improved, he knew more and more.
