Chapter 232: The Monk Who Receives Guests
Most of the Yunzhong Temple is desert, but the clouds are floating low in the sky. They are like some kind of living things, moving slowly on the sand dunes.
The low-lying cumulus clouds condensed into tall cloud-shaped men, each of whom was three times as tall as the apostle man, with arms almost dragging on the ground.
They floated and walked on the ground, some went all the way to the sky, or drifted away, some came and went with the wind. There were also some tall four-legged animals condensed from the clouds, which also moved slowly on the ground.
Lu Yao clicked on a cloud man.
…
[Cloud Monk LV33]
HP: 1440/1440 Mana: 307/307 Damage: 29 Defense: 16 Speed: 10 [Cloud]
It is part of the cloud.
【Undead】
For unknown reasons, he possesses immortality and can be resurrected repeatedly.
【Regular Projection】
The projection formed by the power of rules.
…
The cloud-transforming monks cannot communicate. They seem to live in their own world, following the clouds and the wind, wandering and strolling in the world of the Cloud Temple.
They are also not aggressive and will ignore strangers.
They will not initiate a fight unless attacked.
Lu Yao tried to have his apostles kill several Huayun monks.
After being destroyed, the body of the Monk Huayun dissipated into white clouds. These clouds floated in the air and reshaped the dead not far away.
Monk Huayun continued to walk erratically.
In general, the group of Cloud-Transforming Monks do not have individual consciousness, and have already merged into the Rules [Cloud]. Now, the figures of the past emerge one by one. They are only formed because of the power of rules, and their essence is more like a group of afterimages of the past.
The apostle team continued to move forward in the desert.
Along the way, you can see tall [Sand Towers]. These towers built by sand walkers stand quietly in this quiet world, which shows that there were many sand walkers here in the past.
Suddenly, an exclamation mark appeared on Baishen’s head.
"Master Zhengshen, there is some special treasure approaching quickly in the north."
He possesses the characteristic of "Treasure Hunter" and is very sensitive to various treasures.
Soon, the treasure that had approached actively emerged from the sand.
But it was a huge fish head.
Lu Yao even identified it and thought it should be a catfish head. Because the head of a sandfish is relatively flat, with a large mouth, several long whiskers, and a pair of straight eyes.
The only problem is, it's made entirely of sand, with only a fat fish head sticking out of the desert.
The sandfish opened its mouth and a dialog box appeared above its head.
"Dear guests who have come from afar, Yunzhong Temple welcomes your visit. I am the monk in charge of reception here."
Lu Yao clicked on the fish head.
…
[Drum Fish LV88] Monk Zhike HP: 28679/28679 Mana: 4407/4407 Damage: 122 Defense: 160 Speed: 18 [Undead]
For unknown reasons, he possesses immortality and can be resurrected repeatedly.
Symbiote
Existing in a symbiotic state with multiple entities, gaining additional benefits.
[Mystery of Sand Element]
Speed doubles in the sand, gaining the [Undead] trait.
【Debater】
Rather than fighting, I prefer to decide the outcome through language.
【Win people over with virtue LV8】
[Exclusive Ability of Drum Fish]
No matter who you are facing, you will be polite. If the opponent is polite, the drum fish will be more humble. If the opponent continues to be rude or lacks etiquette, the drum fish will become angry and enter the [Use force to defeat the opponent] posture, and all combat attributes will be greatly improved.
…
Lu Yao read the ability description twice.
Unlike the rule projection of the Cloud Monk, the reason why this catfish is immortal is because it has mastered the secret of the sand element. In other words, it is immortal in this desert home, and only by taking it out of here or transforming the environment can it be completely eliminated.
In addition, the drum fish's ability of [Conquering People with Virtue] may also trigger a transformation, which may significantly increase its combat power, but it is also a hidden danger.
But Lu Yao was not worried.
If you want to talk, let's talk. If you want to fight him, he has the LV99 Forrest's Apostle Soul Seal. If it doesn't work, it's okay to make it rain to transform the surrounding environment and force kill him.
The monk in charge of reception asked, "Do you have many doubts?"
"It has been many epochs since there have been any guests here. It is a great honor to see you all. I am deeply honored that a god has come in person."
Isabel negotiated with Lu Yaofang as ambassador.
"Excuse me, are the gods still here?"
"Master Yuncuike disappeared in the 511th epoch."
"Disappeared? Did the gods abandon their kingdom?"
The monk in charge of reception did not shy away from saying, "Please allow me to correct you. It is not that the gods abandoned Yunzhong Temple, but that the gods gave this place their last gift. Master Yuncuike hopes that new gods can be born here."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Isabel continued to ask: "Then may I ask if the gods will come back?"
“…”
The fish-headed monk seemed to be thinking.
After a moment, words appeared in the frame above its head: "Master Yuncuike once integrated many gravel worlds into Yunzhong Temple, hoping to make this damaged world complete."
"Master Yuncuike was impacted by the power of the world's rules, and his fire of faith was exhausted. Eventually, he left."
A question mark appeared above Isabel's head: "Why would God do this?"
"Lord Yuncuike wants to return to his hometown."
"home?"
"Lord Yuncuike comes from a distant world. It is impossible to stay there. You can only continue to rise or fall."
The monk who knew everything said: "In a great disaster, the kingdom of God was damaged and fell down, and thus became the Temple in the Clouds."
"Lord Yuncuike needs many gods to set sail again for the kingdom of God and return to his distant homeland."
When Lu Yao heard this, he felt that Yun Cuike must have been quite powerful in the past.
Isabel raised a key question: "Why do we have to cultivate local gods instead of trying to obtain other gods? It should be much easier if we search through the kingdom of gods outside."
"Because it takes a lot of gods, thousands of them, to complete this long journey for the Kingdom of God."
"The Kingdom of God needs the birth of a god."
Lu Yao was a little confused.
Yuncuike has bold ideas and has made many attempts.
But, is it really possible?
Relying on the power of just the class of gods, without the need for divine authority, can one create a god?
He always felt that the monk in charge of reception seemed to be hiding something.
Lu Yao asked Isabel to ask the monk in charge of reception.
Catfish Head replied: "Gods need godhood, but the Sand Walkers created by Master Yuncuike can hold the fire of faith. Sand Walkers can enter other gravel worlds to collect the power of faith."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
The Sand Tower was discovered in the Banquet Bird World before, and there must be a sand walker there looking for the fire of faith.
"Guests, do you need to take a closer look at this world? The monk in charge of reception will lead the way and explain things to you." Catfish Head volunteered.
Isabel said, "Thank you for your help."
"Please stand on my back."
The broad back of the drum fish emerged from the desert and everyone stood on it.
Then it began to cruise in the sand, seemingly moving slowly, but the surrounding sand dunes kept receding.
As we walked forward, the monk in charge of reception said, "The fall of the Cloud Temple caused serious damage to the rules of the world, so only the rules of cloud and sand are relatively sound. Therefore, this place does not have the rich environment like other kingdoms of God."
"As you can see, there were only two kinds of living things here in the past. One was the life in the sand, and the other was the life in the clouds."
"However, after many epochs, as the world's environment evolved and became worse, all life disappeared. Now, the only ones left are Monk Huayun and me."
Isabel asked, "Where's the Sand Walker?"
"If a sand walker successfully ascends, he can enter the nearby gravel world outside. If a sand walker fails to ascend, he will be completely bound by the rules and cannot leave the border of the world."
"Those who went out never came back, and those who failed to ascend were eaten by me."
The monk was wagging his tail in the sand.
