“Have you figured out the secret of the stone tablet?”
Sally asked.
“I knew it at a glance!”
Mike said.
“Then tell me quickly, what is the secret of it? Is it true that you can become an immortal just by being near the stone tablet every day?”
Mike observed Sally’s naivety and said, “How could it be so easy to become an immortal and become a God?”
“But…”
“But what? Tell me quickly!”
Sally asked anxiously.
“Living near the stone tablet every day, you can absorb the magic essence in the stone tablet. After a long time, magic power will be born in your body.”
“What is magic essence? And what is magic power?”
Sally asked.
Mike thought for a moment before replying.
“Magic essence is similar to an endless power, and magic power is a medium that allows you to use this power.”
“If you don’t have magic power in your body, then you can’t release magic skills!”
Hearing this, Sally nodded and then asked.
“Then, do you already have magic power in your body? That’s why you could release the fire that day. Am I right?”
Hearing this, Mike nodded his head.
“That’s about it. You should understand now!”
Looking puzzled, Sally continued to question him.
“Then, how long do we need to live next to this stone tablet before magic power can be produced in our bodies?”
Mike thought for a moment before replying.
“That depends. Everyone’s constitution is different. Some people may need a month, while others may need a year, or even longer.”
“Then, Mike, with magic power, will we be able to use that kind of magic the way you do?”
Mike nodded. However, after a moment’s hesitation, he shook his head and said, “Yes, but not completely!”
“What do you mean? You’ve confused me!”
Sally said.
“Actually, what I mean is very simple. Although magic power exists in your body, the release of this medium also needs a way to appear, and this way is similar to a weapon or something like it!”
Actually, Mike was talking about a magic staff. It was just that Mike had an Infinite Spiritual Ring in his hand, so outsiders thought that he could cast spells with his bare hands.
“Then, Mike, why can you cast spells without using a weapon?”
Mike said as he dangled the Infinite Spiritual Ring in front of Sally’s eyes.
“Who said I don’t have one? Look, isn’t this it?”
Sally stared at the Infinite Spiritual Ring for a long time, but she did not say anything.
Mike saw that Sally seemed to be completely obsessed with spells, so he immediately said, “Alright, alright, let’s think about it later! We’ve already arrived at the ancient temple that the old grandpa mentioned just now!”
Sally came back to her senses and looked at the relatively large building in front of her.
There was a plaque hanging on the eaves of the door, and on it were the words ‘Ancient Law Temple’.
“Let’s go in now and see if there’s any news about world deities!”
Mike said. Sally nodded and followed Mike to knock on the door of the Ancient Law Temple.
“Hello! Is anyone there?”
Mike said politely.
After a while, a man dressed in plain clothes opened the door.
Mike looked at the man and recognized him at a glance. It was Apu.
Mike saw the door open and said to the man.
“Hello, I am an immortal cultivator and I’d like to know more about the World Deity. Can you let us in to take a look?”
The man did not say anything. He merely gestured with his hand.
After Mike saw the man’s gesture, he led Sally into the Ancient Law Temple.
When they entered the ancient temple, they saw countless cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Their eyes were closed, their hands were clasped together, and they were quietly reciting some kind of mantra.
Finally, the man opened his mouth and said, “You are from the east, right?”
After hearing the man’s words, Sally said excitedly.
“We are indeed from the east. Master is really good at divination!”
The man replied without changing his expression.
“Actually, it wasn’t me who predicted it. It was Master Quan. He told us three days ago that two immortal cultivators would come from the east in the next few days.”
“Master Quan?”
Mike excitedly repeated the name.
The man remained silent and continued to make an inviting gesture with his hand.
He led Mike and Sally to the inner hall of the Ancient Law Temple.
When they reached the inner hall, Mike saw a young man who looked like a monk sitting quietly on a futon, meditating.
A statue of a god made of gold was placed on the altar in front of him.
The statue’s eyes were wide open, and it held a long sword in its hand. It looked like it was overflowing with killing intent.
“Master Quan,” the man said as he came behind the young monk.
“Master Quan, as you said, there are two immortal cultivators from the East who are visiting.”
“I understand.”
The voice that was heard was low and hoarse.
No one would have thought that this was the voice of this young monk.
“Apu, you may go ahead first!”
The man nodded and left the inner hall.
Seeing that the young monk still had his back to him, Mike opened his mouth to speak.
“Master Quan, we are immortal cultivators from the east. Today, we are here to understand some information about the World Deity!”
Even after hearing this, Master Quan still had his back to Mike and remained silent.
Seeing that Master Quan was not paying him any attention, Mike was not in a hurry.
That was because, in his heart, he had already experienced everything here.
However, Sally, who was standing beside him, said impatiently, “Mike, Master Quan’s attitude is too arrogant!”
Mike looked at Sally with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Suddenly, Master Quan spoke up.
“Our guests come from afar, willing to wait for days and nights. Do you want to give up just because of these few minutes of waiting?
“If your heart is not sincere, how can you become a god?”
When Mike heard Master Quan’s words, he immediately understood his hidden meaning.
So Mike pulled Sally to sit on the futon beside Master Quan.
He also closed his eyes and began to wait silently.
Sally was a little impatient at first, but when she saw Mike’s pleading expression, she could not bear to leave and chose to wait quietly with him.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Master Quan spoke again.
“The two of you, if you have any doubts, you can let them out now.”
Seeing that Master Quan had finally spoken, Mike spoke.
“Master Quan! Long time no see!”
“This guest comes from afar, how would they know me?”
Master Quan said leisurely.
Hearing Master Quan’s words, Mike smiled and then spoke again.
“Then may I ask Master Quan, do you know about any trace of the World Deity?”
