Chapter 395 The Road Ahead
Upon seeing the abbot of the Bodhidharma Hall of Leiyin Temple appear here, Lin Fei's heart tightened, but he still smiled and said, "So it's Master Xuankong. It's been a long time. I hope you've been well."
It seems that this sudden celestial phenomenon has been taken very seriously by all the major powers, who have not sent out any young people from their sects, but instead have sent out experts at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Since Leiyin Temple has sent the head of the Dharma Hall, the other forces must be no less capable, and they should all be experts at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Fortunately, Lin Fei was now a master of the second level of the Dharma Aspect realm, so he wasn't afraid of these established Dharma Aspect realm seniors. Moreover, the Reincarnation Stone Tablet underground was originally his, and he also had the secret assistance of the Xuan Snake Spirit Turtle. With all the advantages of timing and location, he wasn't afraid of these Dharma Aspect realm masters who came to seize the treasure.
"Thanks to Benefactor Li," Xuan Kong said with a slight smile upon hearing Lin Fei's words. "Such a celestial phenomenon must mean that a treasure has been born. Such a rare treasure cannot be monopolized by one family or sect. Why not wait until our fellow practitioners from other sects arrive before making a decision? What do you think, Benefactor?"
It seems the monk was afraid Lin Fei would go down and obtain the treasure first, and he himself had no confidence in defeating Lin Fei. That's why he made this request to wait for the other sects to arrive.
If experts from other sects arrive, there's no need to worry about Lin Fei trying to monopolize the treasure. It's much better than facing Lin Fei alone. After their encounter at Leiyin Temple, Xuan Kong was quite wary of Lin Fei.
Lin Fei naturally knew what Xuan Kong was planning. As far as Lin Fei was concerned, whether it was Xuan Kong or other masters from other sects, he was the only one who could obtain the Reincarnation Stone Tablet.
Whether it was the monk Xuan Kong or the experts from other sects, it made no real difference to Lin Fei. As for Xuan Kong stopping him at this moment, Lin Fei wanted to see what kind of people were here, so he could prepare in advance and avoid being caught off guard by unexpected opponents.
Lin Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Master has said so, let's wait a little longer!"
The monk Xuan Kong was prepared to fight Lin Fei and force him to stay there, but he did not expect Lin Fei to agree so readily and even find a place to sit down.
Monk Xuankong was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Since you are so understanding, that would be perfect."
……
The two waited for a short while before the experts from other factions arrived at the scene.
Yuanzhen of the Jade Emperor Sect, Qin Zhongshan of the Eight Evil Paths, as well as the Peerless Sword Sect, White Cloud City, and almost all the major forces in the world, except for a few, sent experts at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
As more and more people arrived, the atmosphere in the room gradually became tense, with a hint of tension.
After all, with such a rare treasure appearing, everyone wants it, and everyone here, regardless of their past relationships, is now a competitor. No one is willing to give up the treasure.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Monk Xuankong spoke up, "You must have all come here because of this extraordinary celestial phenomenon, right? Such a phenomenon must mean that some extraordinary treasure has appeared. Perhaps it is even an ancient treasure."
Monk Xuankong's words resonated deeply with everyone. Such a powerful celestial phenomenon must mean that the treasure that appeared must be an extremely rare and precious artifact. Perhaps it was left behind by some ancient powerful being, a treasure comparable to the Ten Great Divine Weapons of antiquity.
Among the people here, apart from Lin Fei who knew what was underground, the rest of them had no idea what the treasure was.
The monk Xuan Kong continued, "You have all come from afar, and I presume you are all determined to obtain the treasure that is about to be revealed. I have a suggestion, and I wonder what you all think?"
Leiyin Temple is a top-tier power even among the major forces in the world. Monk Xuankong is the head of the Bodhidharma Hall at Leiyin Temple, making him one of the most prominent figures even among these experts.
Therefore, as soon as the monk Xuan Kong opened his mouth, someone immediately replied, "Master, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."
Monk Xuankong nodded and said, “You have all come here for the treasure hidden underground. But the treasure has not yet been revealed, and no one knows what is underground or what dangers it may hold. I think we should work together to find the treasure first. After we find it, we can decide together who it belongs to. What do you all think?”
To obtain the treasure hidden underground, a struggle among those present would be inevitable. However, since they didn't even know what the treasure was, none of them wanted to engage in a fight first.
After all, those who came here were all experts from various sects and schools, and none of them were easy to deal with. Even rising stars like Lin Fei and Qin Zhongshan were not to be underestimated.
Monk Xuankong's words resonated with most people. Most were unwilling to engage in a fierce battle with these formidable enemies before finding the treasure.
As soon as the monk Xuan Kong finished speaking, someone immediately responded, "Master, your words are very wise. In my opinion, we should do as you say. Let's work together to find the treasure underground. As for who owns the treasure, that's a matter for later."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Monk Xuankong's statement. Lin Fei also had no objections. Although he, unlike the others, knew what lay beneath the ground, he didn't know what dangers lurked within the tomb of the True Martial Emperor.
After all, given the True Martial Emperor's abilities, it would be almost impossible for him not to set up some traps and mechanisms. Having these guys accompany him to scout ahead is naturally the best thing. In any case, even if they eventually find the Reincarnation Stone Tablet, Lin Fei is absolutely confident he can snatch it from these people.
……
After discussing the matter, everyone entered the fissure in the earth and went down into the ground.
Not long after they started walking, the first obstacle appeared before them: dozens of forked roads, all of which looked exactly the same. No one knew which road led to the treasure.
What surprised everyone even more was that even when they spread their divine senses, they couldn't discern what lay at the end of each path. They also couldn't distinguish any difference between these seemingly identical paths.
This made everyone hesitant to move forward any further.
