Chapter 1115 - Sun Finger, Mechanism



Chapter 1115: Sun Finger, Mechanism

[Beautifully done.]

When One Emperor sent Happy a letter telling him of the grand victory from Victory, Happy was preparing to enter Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts again. He skimmed through the letter in his hand and had a faint smile appear on his face.

The information from the world three years ago was indeed very useful. One Emperor had managed to pummel up Class One Hall with the help of the local sects’ help to the point that they were incredibly in an incredibly sorry state. Even the largest sect working with Wild Wolves in Vietnam ended up in a tragic state. Its sect master and its elites were easily killed by One Emperor, and its headquarters and all of its sects were completely destroyed in one day by the middle-sized and small sects that rose in revolt.

The largest faction of power in this small country ended just like this. Wild Wolves’ influence in Vietnam sank to the lowest point.

Class One Hall also lost its protection from the local sects and was no longer an intimidating force because of Wild Wolves. They were despised by all the people in Vietnam, and everyone wanted to kill them. They were currently quickly running to the borders, and they intended to sneak into Thailand.

At the same time One Emperor told him about the situation in the letter, he also stated that he was prepared to head to Thailand. He would not let Class One Hall have the chance to catch its breath and recuperate in Thailand.

[Some of the local sects in Thailand have already contacted me. I’ll tell you their names, and have someone contact them. But you have to be careful. You will definitely not be successful if you want to launch an ambush in Thailand. Wild Wolves and the largest sect in Thailand will definitely be wary. Tomorrow, you will definitely face a tough battle!] Over the past few days, Happy not only obtained the general information about Vietnam from the world from three years ago, he also obtained the information about Thailand.

[Don’t worry. The sect masters of the large and small sects in Vietnam are worried that Class One Hall will launch a counterattack at Vietnam with the Wild Wolves from Thailand. They have already taken the initiative to mobilize a group of people to enter Thailand with us. We have the strength to fight against the largest force of power in Thailand!]

[That’s good.] Happy became at ease.

One Emperor then sent him another letter. [What about you? What happened at your side over the past few days I was gone?]

When Happy read this, he immediately understood that the current One Emperor already had the faint awareness of being the vice sect master of Lovely Land and had also started undertaking the responsibility of being a vice sect master. He felt incredibly relieved.

[The draft of the system Ji Feng came up with is pretty good. I’ve already sent orders to implement the system. As of current, Lovely Land is slowly progressing in the right direction, and we’re starting off good. In at most a month, Lovely Land will live up to its name as the strongest and largest sect in the Chinese server.]

If Happy had not come up with the idea of going out of the Chinese plains to fight against Wild Wolves, perhaps One Emperor would still be worried about Lovely Land’s increasing strength eventually stirring up conflict with Wind Assault Tower, but now, he was no longer worried.

Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land still had a long-term, common enemy! As long as they were still comrades, he would naturally not have to worry about them getting into conflict.

[How soon will you get into Inaction Realm?]

[Stop underestimating me, will you? On the second day you left Beijing, I already reached Inaction Realm. It’s a pity that I can’t locate Evil King Shi Zhixuan, or else I will definitely fight against him.]

Happy smiled.

One Emperor replied very quickly, [You’re already in Inaction Realm? That’s great! I reckon Evil Emperor will be even more wary of you now, and he won’t be thinking of extending his claws into the Chinese server for a short period of time. I heard you mention that with each qi realm you gain, you will automatically understand another style from Ten True Dragon Styles. Mind telling me what is the style for Inaction Realm?]

Ever since he noticed the profound aspect in Happy’s Dragon Swings Its Tail, One Emperor had been incredibly curious. He was curious what new move Happy had gained after he entered Inaction Realm.

[It’s useless even if I tell you right now. You can’t see it, anyway. Besides, I’ve only gained a smattering knowledge of the skill. I still need to work diligently on understanding the profound nature behind this skill. Once you come back, I’ll personally tell you.]

[That’s a promise!]

One Emperor’s strokes were bold in the letter, and Happy could sense his fighting spirit through his words alone.

After he ended his chat with One Emperor, Happy looked up and cast his gaze on the treasure house in front of him.

Each of the treasure houses in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts were filled with dangerous traps and fatal mechanisms. Even top-class elites would not readily enter these treasure houses.

During the first time Happy entered a treasure house, he obtained two demon vessels and a valuable portrait which allowed him to obtain Wave-like Subtle Steps and Sun Finger.

There was no need for him to even mention how useful Wave-like Subtle Steps was.

Sun Finger was an ultimate technique in Inaction Realm. Right now, he finally fulfilled the requirements to train it. He spent three days to push it to the fifth realm, and its power was much stronger than Joined Finger. It was incredibly domineering and peerless. In fact, it was stronger than Great Demonic World Destruction Art, which was already at Grandmaster Realm.

After all, Great Demonic World Destruction Art was only a Moksha Realm martial art, and Sun Finger was an ultimate technique at Inaction Realm. There was a world’s difference between them.

‘As of right now, only Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor have entered the deepest parts of Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. I wonder what sort of good stuff can be found in the treasure house located in the deepest part of the villa.’

Happy had left Ghost’s Domain and went to Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts because his progress for leveling up Sun Finger was a little too slow, and he suddenly wanted to clear Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. After all, more than one month had passed, and the bounty the imperial court placed on his head was already nullified.

However, since the strongest monster in the deepest part of the mountain villa was just the beast tamers who were at the later stage of Myth Realm, they could not stop Happy in the slightest, and he easily entered the core of the mountain villa. It was a spherical, grand building that was similar to the Temple of Heaven.

There were more than a dozen fierce creatures’ carcases and the corpse of a beast tamer strewn all over the empty ground around the spherical building.

Thud! Thud!

Happy reached the entrance with a calm expression. The door of the treasure house was then pushed open to both sides with a creak, and Happy did it with an invisible palm force.

There was silence.

Everything was calm.

The violent traps that Happy expected did not appear.

What surprised Happy even more was that the hall inside was incredibly large, wide, and spacious. It was like a huge indoor square.

At the end of the hall was a huge statue of Buddha with a lotus and peony pattern. It sat on a lotus, and waves of mantra spoken in Sanskrit seemed to have started floating around the air.

Happy hesitated for a while before he squashed the curiosity in his heart and spread his spiritual sense outward in an unprecedentedly solemn manner. It swept around the hall, but he did not notice any suspicious decorations or items.

The inside of the hall was very empty, and the floor was so smooth that it was as if someone washed it. He could see everything with just one glance. Aside from the huge Buddha statue, there was nothing else. It did not seem like a place that could hide any treasures.

However, since he was already here, Happy would naturally not stop moving forward just because of the unfathomable situation in front of him.

He tapped against the floor, and he drifted into the hall lightly like the wind.

Even though his skills caused him to be brave, when he entered the hall, Happy still made sure that Indestructible Body was constantly activated and that his spiritual senses were spread to every inch of the hall, allowing him to sense all the slightest changes around him. He was incredibly careful and cautious.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Right when he entered the hall, a change occurred!

A heavy and armored wall descended from above like a collapsing hill. It stuck close to the door and sealed the entrance tightly. Not even a single gap was revealed.

Then, huge armored walls descended one by one. It was like the mechanism in the meeting hall in Lovely Land. In an instant, a loud sound rang. In the blink of an eye, it managed to lock down the entire area, and it turned into a sealed chamber that not even a fly could enter.

Thud!

Happy landed on the floor calmly, but he never even turned his head around. He was alone as he stood at the center of the hall proudly.

The air in the hall seemed to have stopped flowing. The light instantly faded away, and the hall turned pitch black. If it were not for his spiritual sense, Happy would not even be able to see his fingers.

However, aside from locking down the hall, no other mechanism was activated. This caused Happy to feel at ease, because this was at least not a trap that ensured certain death.

However, right now, the treasure house gave off a mysterious atmosphere.

The windows and doors were all shut tight, and not a single ray of light could seep through. Happy was completely enveloped in darkness. Even though he was currently not threatened by any traps, the calmness and silence around him caused Happy to feel slightly uneasy.

Not noticing any traps was even more dangerous than when the traps were shown right in front of his eyes.

*****

Happy walked around the dark hall, but the dangers he expected did not appear. He frowned, and he started to seriously investigate the huge hall where he stood.

It was a huge building with a diameter of 328 feet. Aside from the armored walls tightly locking down the area and the sturdy, smooth, and cold floor, there was only the solemn and large Buddha statue in front of him.

There was no exit and no traps!

The only clue in the hall was the huge Buddha statue in front of him.

He composed himself, and Happy headed near the Buddha statue so that he could observe it carefully.

The dark environment could not stop Happy’s spiritual senses from observing the Buddha statue.

Happy scanned through the statue inch by inch repeatedly in search for a possible mechanism.

*****

A few minutes passed.

Happy jumped on the huge palm placed flatly against the statue’s chest and abdomen. Then, he stood still.

The Buddha statue did not move.

‘Still no reaction?’

The Buddha statue and the hall still showed no reaction. It was still terrifyingly quiet, and Happy finally looked impatient!

This time, he had come to Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts purely on a whim. After all, no matter where he went, his true origin aura was his best card to protect his life, and it should not be hard for him to get a few unexpected but pleasant surprises over here.

But if he knew a long time ago that he would run into such strange situations, Happy would definitely not come here to waste his time.

Happy could not hold back. He braced his courage and started tapping the surface of the Buddha statue with his hand.

Tap, tap, tap, tap…

Thud thud!

Happy carefully and cautiously tapped each part of the Buddha statue, but the Buddha statue did not react in the slightest. It still had its palm laid flat against its chest and stomach with its index finger pointed at the sky, and it annoyed Happy to no end.

‘Hang on!’

A thought flashed in his head. Happy’s gaze then landed on the Buddha statue’s never changing gesture.

While he was among the Buddha statues in Dafo Temple, the Arhat statues had all sorts of postures, allowing him to see all sorts of postures Buddha could have possibly taken, but this sort of gesture, where the statue pointed at the sky with just one index finger, was still the first for him, and it also seemed a little unnatural.

After he observed it for a while, Happy stood on the palm and looked up at the sky in the direction where the statue pointed.

It was dark!

Without another word, he had his spiritual sense spread to that part.

Just now, since his attention was on the floor and the area around him, he never sent his spiritual sense upward.

Right now, when he sent his spiritual sense over there, Happy swiftly noticed a huge secret in the hall, and once he had his question answered, he finally had a relaxed expression appear on his face.

‘I found the mechanism!’

In truth, the mechanism in the treasure house had always been above his head.

Around 131 feet to 162 feet above him were thick chains that were connecting the walls directly opposite each other. They were like a huge net of chains that intersected with each other.

In such a dark chamber, even if someone lit up a torch, the light would not be able to stretch up to the roof high above, which meant that it was also impossible for it to illuminate the chains above.

“So, the secret is here…?”

Happy sighed at the ingenious thoughts the person who made this mechanism contained. Then, he shifted his full attention to a box bound by the huge net of chains.
