Abbot Zhi Ming looked at Xiao Bing and said, "Originally, this was the top secret of the Shaolin Temple. No one is allowed to know about it. However, I noticed that although you have a strong killing intent, you are a simple and honest person. That is why I told you. I hope that you can keep this a secret!"
Xiao Bing said, "I will definitely keep this a secret!"
"That's good. I trust you."
Abbot Zhi Ming looked at the monument. His eyes were filled with yearning and longing. He said slowly, "This monument records the secret to the God Level!"
Xiao Bing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at the tall monument with a burning gaze. This was the secret to the God Level. Who could not be tempted?
Abbot Zhi Ming said emotionally, "Other than the secret to the Divine level, the monument also contains the powerful energy that a few Divine level experts had channeled into it. After the end of the Mythological Era, many years later, a prehistoric demonic beast that had not been completely killed during the Mythological Era was revived. At that time, this demonic beast's strength was enough to dominate the world. A few of the human world's top experts lured it here, then lured it deep underground and used this Divine level monument to completely suppress it within."
"One of those human masters was the abbot of our Shaolin Temple. Later on, our Shaolin Temple took on the responsibility of suppressing this prehistoric monster. Because it was suppressed by the God Level Monument, this prehistoric monster has been in a deep slumber for a long time. In the past, it would only wake up once every 20 to 30 years. But now, the power of the God Level Monument has begun to weaken. On average, the monster will wake up once every 10 years. Our Shaolin Temple must do our best to suppress it!"
Master Zhi Ren said, "If we really let this monster come out from the earth, I'm afraid that this world will truly be plunged into misery and suffering."
Xiao Bing asked, "Is this secret only known by your Shaolin Temple? Why don't you let the country use a nuclear bomb to destroy this monster? "
Abbot Zhi Ming said, "This matter is also known by the upper echelons of the country. This is also the reason why the other Ancient Martial Sects have been forced to seal their sects, while our Shaolin Temple has not been affected in the slightest. The country knows exactly what our Shaolin Temple has sacrificed generation after generation for this country and this world."
"As for why we don't use nuclear bombs to destroy it, it's actually very simple. This is our Shaolin Temple's holy land. In the past, there were no large-scale weapons that could destroy this kind of monster. Although nuclear weapons have appeared now, we don't want nuclear weapons to destroy Shaolin Temple's thousand-year-old foundation. We'd rather continue suppressing it generation after generation. This monster can't replenish its strength deep underground, and it's constantly being eaten away by the Divine Level Monument. Sooner or later, it'll fall into a deep sleep forever, never to wake up again."
Frowning, Xiao Bing said, "But you said that the power of this Divine Monument is weakening …"
"Yeah." Abbot Zhi Ming said, "This Divine Level Monument contains an endless amount of power, but it will eventually weaken bit by bit. This is inevitable. According to our research, the Divine Level Monument may be able to last for about a thousand years. Now it's time for us to compete with the power of the Divine Level Monument against this monster. We'll see if the power of the Divine Level Monument can last longer, or the monster can last longer. Although the monster awakens once every ten years, this monster's power has obviously weakened. In the past, every time it woke up, it would at least last for a few hours or even longer before it was suppressed by the monument. But now, as you can see, it only lasted for a short while before it was suppressed. Although we sacrificed the lives of two of our juniors … "
Xiao Bing sighed, "In the end, the foundation is not as important as life. As long as people are alive, won't they have everything in the future? If I were you, I would directly ask the country to use a nuclear bomb. By the way, Abbot Zhi Ming, you said that this monument hides the power of the Divine Level … "
Abbot Zhi Ming said, "Use your spiritual energy to sense this monument. Only an extremely small number of people are able to see the path to divinity within the monument, and at most, they can only see the surface of it. Even then, they are already considered to be extremely perceptive and intelligent. Sixty years ago, someone saw the path to divinity from this monument. Later on, this person became the pillar of Hua Xia. Fifty years ago, I once saw all the cultivation paths before divinity from this monument, and felt the endless mysteries of martial arts …"
While Abbot Zhi Ming was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Bing's eyes were fixed on the monument, as if he had already immersed himself in it. Abbot Zhi Ming and his junior looked at each other. Both of them could see the astonishment in each other's eyes. In the past hundred years, only two people in the whole of China had been able to sense what was inside the monument. One was Abbot Zhi Ming, and the other was the Divine Pillar of China. But now, Xiao Bing could also sense it.
But she did not know what Xiao Bing saw in it. Could he see the peak of the Celestial Master or the Divine Level? If he could directly see the cultivation path to the Divine Level, then wouldn't Xiao Bing become the second Divine Pillar of China? It was said that in the nearly two thousand years of history of this Divine Level monument, only a total of ten people had sensed it. On average, one would appear every two hundred years. But now, in less than a hundred years, there were already two people, Abbot Zhi Ming and the Divine Pillar of China. Was Xiao Bing going to become the third person in a hundred years?
Abbot Zhi Ming saw that Xiao Bing was standing there, so the two of them did not disturb him. An hour passed, then two hours. Abbot Zhi Ming and his juniors went up the mountain, and then the Shaolin disciples were dismissed. Everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened. Next, they would have to wait for the next ten years. In the entire Shaolin Temple, everyone hoped that within these ten years, the monster deep underground would be completely suppressed and killed.
The second day, the third day, the fourth day …
This was already the fourth morning. Abbot Zhi Ming and Master Zhi Ren came to the abyss together. When Zhi Ren saw that Xiao Bing was still standing there, he could not help but be surprised. "Senior Abbot, do you remember that the last time you stood there, you only stood there for two days and one night?"
"Yes." Abbot Zhi Ming's eyes revealed a deep sense of disbelief. He sighed. "Even the Divine Pillar of China, who was known as the most talented genius in China for thousands of years, could only stand there for two days and two nights. But this Xiao Bing has already stood there for three days and three nights … I'm afraid no one has been able to do this since ancient times."
Abbot Zhi Ming's eyes revealed a look of excitement. His juniors were equally excited.
Finally, after a while, an indescribable aura suddenly appeared on Xiao Bing's body. Abbot Zhi Ming's eyes widened. "Did Donor Xiao directly break through here?"
But after Xiao Bing's aura fluctuated for a while, it finally calmed down. Abbot Zhi Ming shook his head. "He did not break through, but his aura is clearly stronger than before. I'm afraid that the improvement in these three days and three nights is comparable to the improvement of others for several years or even decades."
"Yes." Xiao Bing finally spoke. His eyes shone with excitement. "I'm only half a step away from the Middle-stage of the Heavenly Master Stage. Originally, my strength had just stabilized at the Early-stage of the Heavenly Master Stage, and there was still a long way to go before I reached the Peak of the Early-stage of the Heavenly Master Stage. But I did not expect to break through to the Peak of the Early-stage of the Heavenly Master Stage in just a few minutes …"
Master Zhi Ren smiled bitterly. "Donor Xiao did not just stand here for a few minutes. Donor Xiao has stood here for a full three days and three nights."
Xiao Bing was stunned. "Three days and three nights?"
"Yes." Master Tomohito bitterly smiled as he continued, "Back then, my Senior Brother Sect Master only stood here for two days and one night. Benefactor Xiao is truly an unprecedented genius."
Zhi Ming looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "What did you see in there?"
Xiao Bing suddenly remembered that he was listening to Abbot Zhi Ming's words. Suddenly, he saw many golden figures on the monument. There were humans, monsters, gods, and demons. Every one of them had incredible strength. Although it was difficult to move mountains and seas, they could cut a long river with one sword. They could even fly across the river by stepping on reeds. Some could even lift a boulder that was dozens of meters high with one hand. These people's strength was especially exaggerated. They were like the gods in the myths. Then the scene disappeared. Several people from the Human Clan were displaying their terrifying martial arts.
Xiao Bing saw how an ordinary person cultivated Qi and body. He also saw how a person entered the Innate Realm. Then, he saw how a person began to produce Genuine Qi in his body. He saw how he entered the Dan Strength Stage. Finally, he saw how he broke through the void and slowly cultivated to the Heavenly Master Stage. Above that, Xiao Bing saw how these people cultivated to the Sage Stage, then the Sage Middle Stage, the Sage Peak … There was nothing after that. The only thing he did not see was how to cultivate to the God Stage.
Xiao Bing told the truth. "Just now, I seemed to have turned into another person. Then, from an ordinary person, I cultivated to the Sage Peak!"
Although Abbot Zhi Ming and Master Zhi Ren were already mentally prepared, they were still dumbfounded. This was simply inconceivable. For so many years, they had never heard of anyone who could see the path to the pinnacle of the Sage Realm through this monument. That was the pinnacle of the Sage Realm! It was too far away!
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly. "But I can only understand those insights in my heart. I can't say it out loud. It's very mysterious. Otherwise, I would have directly shared my experience with everyone."
Abbot Zhi Ming nodded his head and said, "That should be the case, that's the logic … Back then, it was the same for me. These feelings cannot be shared with others, and can only be experienced by oneself. Then, after comprehending the experience above, one will be able to break free from those bottlenecks on the path of learning martial arts, and will be able to soar upwards. One's cultivation speed will be especially fast, two to three times faster than before you comprehended these things."
Xiao Bing sighed. "I see … It's a pity. If only I could feel the God Stage all the time."
Abbot Zhi Ming smiled bitterly. "You are already blessed by the heavens. I'm afraid there is no one else in the world other than you … Amitabha. This is the blessing of China!"
Xiao Bing put his palms together and smiled. "This time, I have to thank you, Abbot and Master, for your help."
Abbot Zhi Ming said, "You've helped us this time, so it's only right that I share this secret with you. Besides, this secret isn't only known by our Shaolin Temple. The country also knows this secret. Even if I don't say it, I'm sure the country will tell you sooner or later. When that time comes, they'll let you try to comprehend it."
Xiao Bing said, "No matter what, this reward is too great. If Shaolin encounters any trouble in the future, just let me know. I, Xiao Bing, will definitely not hesitate to help. But now, I still hope that Abbot Zhi Ming can tell me the whereabouts of the Fairy Sect. "
Abbot Zhi Ming took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Xiao Bing. After Xiao Bing unfolded it, he saw that it was a topographic map. His eyes brightened and he immediately put it away. He said excitedly, "Thank you, Abbot. Thank you, Abbot."
"Donor Xiao's scolding of me was very correct. Originally, even if you did not help Shaolin, I would still give this to you. The address of the Fairy Sect is drawn here. Take this and go find it. If your friend is captured, you have a reason to rescue him. No one can stop you! "
"Alright. Thank you, Abbot Zhi Ming. Then I will go back first."
Abbot Zhi Ming smiled. "If there is a chance in the future, if Donor Xiao has time, you are welcome to come and discuss Buddhism with me."
"Of course, of course." Xiao Bing cupped his hands and then looked up. Like a monkey, he grabbed the protruding rocks on the side of the cliff and flew up the cliff.
