"All right. Let's get out of here."
Austin stood up after finishing his chat with his family.
Now that he had found them, he had already fulfilled one of his wishes.
However, there were still a lot of things that he needed to do to accomplish all his tasks.
As he waved his sleeve, he lifted his parents and brother in the air so that they could proceed easier and faster.
However, just as before they left, Austin noticed something strange.
"What's that sound? Is it coming from that direction?"
Austin raised his head and looked into the depths of the deserted area.
From there, he perceived a tremendous Buddhist power, seething between heaven and earth. This energy continuously fluctuated with violent force. It was so intimidating and overwhelming that the affected would have the desire to kneel and worship before it.
"I've never seen such an enormous Buddhist power before!"
Austin had achieved some comprehension of the law of Buddhism and also practiced several omnipotent skills related to it. But despite all of that, he was still stunned as he felt the inconceivably strong Buddhist power spreading out from the depths of the deserted area.
Austin's eyes narrowed as his curiosity heightened. He looked intently into the direction where the power was coming from, trying to perceive everything that was hidden in that area.
Then, he sensed a billowing fluctuation of the Buddhist power, which was surging with great momentum.
Additionally, he also noticed that there were several ancient mountains in that same direction, stretching towards the horizon. Since he was already here, he didn't want to waste the opportunity of checking these things out.
As he stared past into the mountains, the scene gave him the feeling that he returned to ancient times where savageness was still very common.
"Are you hearing that too? We've heard it a lot of times. After we had escaped here, we originally intended to go further ahead. However, we clearly felt that there is an incredible pressure from that direction. It was so eerie that the more we went further, the more difficult it felt to move forward. Moreover, we could hear those monks chanting from time to time.
The three of us had been constantly looking around all the time, but we haven't seen any monks. It was so strange that we didn't dare go any further.
We started wondering if what we were hearing were actually ghosts,"
Austin's mother described what they experienced.
"It's probably not a ghost, mom.
The chants that you have been hearing are actually laws of Buddhism that were left here.
In the past, there must have been a pretty powerful monk who often chanted Buddhist scriptures in this land. His dedication must have been powerful and impressive that his chanting was embedded deep into the environment here. Thus, until now, those words echo every now and then,"
Austin explained in detail what those strange noises really were.
He was now a divine god, so he already knew all kinds of laws of supreme enlightenment in the world.
No matter how bizarre something was, he could now easily see and understand
d a voice was heard immediately after.
"Who the hell are you to dare trespass into the Spirit Mountain?
Turn back now or be prepared to be crushed into ashes!"
Suddenly, a Bodhisattva appeared in front of Austin, holding a golden pestle in his hand. Dazzling light spread out from his body, instantly blocking Austin's way ahead of the mountain.
"Did he just say Spirit Mountain?
So this is the Spirit Mountain?! What? I can't believe it!"
Austin was in utter shock as he heard what the Bodhisattva said.
He once heard that on the Spirit Mountain, there stood the Thunder Temple, which was the holiest and most sacred place known in Buddhism. It was said that Buddha Hawley, the leader of Buddhism, once cultivated in the Spirit Mountain.
Therefore, the Spirit Mountain was actually the field where Buddha Hawley spread the laws of Buddhism.
"But how could that be? The laws of Buddhism in our country originated from another ancient state. Then, shouldn't the Spirit Mountain also be in that ancient country? Why is it in the Hiding Area?"
Austin asked with a confused expression.
"You rude intruders dare to question me? Go to hell!"
Suddenly, the Bodhisattva raised the pestle in his hand and dashed towards Austin. He then released immense Buddhist power that surged and spread like a vast sea.
"I see you're going all out. Then, let me see what you've got!"
Austin immediately answered with his own power, releasing tremendous chaotic energy from the secret realms in his body. The energy burst out like raging rivers that clashed against the waves of Buddhist power.
Crash! Boom!
Austin retracted his arm again and threw a massive punch. The impact from his attack sent the skies and the earth to tremble viciously. With his monstrous strike, the Bodhisattva's pestle flew in the opposite direction with great momentum.
"If this really is the real Spirit Mountain, then you can't stop me from climbing the very top of it!
Get out of my way before I crush you," Austin declared through gritted teeth, glaring at the Bodhisattva with fiery eyes.
