Chapter 4074 Sacred Places Of Taoism

'Pansion Grotto!

There were thirty-six sacred Taoist grottoes in the ancient times. Is the Pansion Grotto one of them?'

The name of the grotto surprised Austin, and he became curious about its origins.

The entrance of the grotto was guarded by an ancient array,

which would have prevented ordinary people from even seeing this grotto.

As usual, handling the array was a piece of cake for Austin.

He used the laws of space and time and broke through the array as if it were made of butter.

Crossing the threshold of the grotto,

he found himself inside a small world.

This was nothing else but the grotto itself, which was actually a small world hidden in plain sight.

The area inside was strange. A vibrant wave of spiritual energy was all around Austin and it felt imposing.

Compared to the outside world, this would have been a much suitable place for cultivation, with ample spiritual energy and law power in the environment.

Austin walked around in the small world and discovered no signs of living creatures anywhere. The place was dead as a doornail!

And yet, it felt quiet and peaceful instead of dreary and boring.

The world was uninhabited, but still developed. There were buildings in some areas which were grand and magnificent, or delicate and elegant. They were built in the ancient style of the Brilliant Kingdom. One other common denominator about them was that they were all empty.

Austin was surprised to see that numerous spiritual herbs were growing in various parts of this world. In fact, some of them were of a very high level.

What's more, hundreds of vessels of spiritual stones were hidden underground.

"These resources are highly suitable for new cultivators,"

Austin murmured as he looked around curiously.

'Wow! Is that even possible?

Those are... divine crystals...

and magical herbs!'

Austin suddenly found himself shocked to the core when he discovered divine crystals piled in heaps in a secluded area.

Several magical herbs were running around, but as soon as they sensed Austin's existence, they immediately disappeared into the ground.

From where he stood, he could see the entire world around him, and it was magnificent. It was a world full of dazzling lights and a dense divine aura.

Every inch of this underground palace was emitting a soft and gilded luster,

giving it the appearance of a solemn and sacred space.

'Hey hang on!

These symbols are related to the human body!'

Aust

y, he put all the pieces together in his mind and.

'No!

It's still not complete. From what I can tell, this is less than half of what I need!'

Austin frowned when he realized this.

He had thought he'd be able to gather the entire Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation method after visiting all the sacred grottoes,

but finding less than even half of it was rather disappointing. To make it worse, he had no clue where to find the rest of it.

"After the thirty-six grottoes, what other place could possible hold the remaining pieces?"

Austin asked himself.

All of a sudden,

"Taoist traditions speak of seventy-two holy lands in addition to the thirty-six sacred grottoes... Of course!"

Austin cried out.

"So looks like I'll have to visit the seventy-two holy lands as well to find the missing links!"

Austin rushed out. He was going to gather the pieces right now.

"The Eternal South Mountain... One of the seventy-two holy lands must be somewhere nearby,"

he said to himself as he landed on a lofty mountain.

After a while,

'There, I found it!'

Austin was overjoyed as his eyes fell on something and he dashed off towards a cliff.

He landed on a protruding rock that was suspended in midair.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the entrance to another space,

and it was also blocked by an ancient array.

With a wave of his hand, Austin broke the array and walked in.

Just like he had expected, there was a small world on the other end of the entrance.

"So these sacred grottoes and holy lands are nothing but small worlds hidden inside famous mountains!"

Austin murmured to himself.
