Chapter 123 Chapter 123
"Now this is what I call luxury! If I sell this entire property back on Earth, it would no doubt earn me a couple hundred millions of dollars!"
Clark whispered as he was in awe of the private room that he was afforded by the Demonic Sword Sect.
The theme never changed at all because same as every place he had been to within the sect, the constant over abundance of swords and its myriad representations still decorated this very chamber he was in right now.
The soft carpet on the floors was tattooed by its familiar guise and even the bed that hugged his full body also vandalized the usual symbol of power.
"The owner of this World Traveler Artifact must have been so obsessed by this specific weapon so as to fill this secret space with all of its creative images and likeness."
Clark closed his eyes and was already content with how the day ended for him and his party.
Lai Peng, Wan Fei, Ning Xi, and the two maidservants had an adventurous day indeed and more excitement was not needed anymore especially to the mortals in the group.
They had toured this Sword Mansion up for an hour or two before everyone retired with a stomach full of meat and sustenance in the cold air which embraced the night that followed.
"It's good that even in this artificial abode, the setting of day and night remained ever present also. This place is really no different from any other land in the real world outside."
Clark moaned as he rolled a couple of times on the bed and acted pretty much at home in this place already. Deep inside though was a whole nother matter entirely.
Our bored gamer knew that he was going to have 2 sets of uninvited visitors tonight but behaved as if he was not surprised at all by the attention that he was getting at the moment.
'SIGH!'
'I should have acted a lot more discreet earlier.' Our good gamer could only sigh in dismay.
Although he would have wanted nothing more but to cultivate in peace but it seemed that with the protagonist's aura around his person, he would have to face adversity in one way or another.
In the end, it was just a matter of time for both him and his would be enemies to meet in person.
'I guess it's also fortunate that I will be meeting with the real top dogs in this xianxia world. I'm tired of killing cannon fodders as it is already.'
Clark ended his thoughts right here and forced himself to think of nothing but the gentle sounds of his breathing alone.
When one has absolutely reached the peak of what can be, it was at that time that he can therefore learn to be finally at ease with everything else in the world.
Our bored gamer breathed and so did the universe around him. They were no longer separate but were already a part of one another.
Clark even had a brief illusion of him being able to devour every creation in the universe and return what was to its primeval form of emptiness.
After this important enlightenment, our smart protagonist has to open his eyes once more in wonder and utter the questions that plagued his mind.
'Can I cultivate the void energy in the cosmos, Nancy? Can I?" Clark sat up on the bed as he waited for the system's answer.
"Jests aside, Twilight Moon. Can you see the child's destiny?" Hu Yin, which was also titled as Daoist Crazy Monkey asked after a beat.
He was thankful that Twilight Moon had already stopped referring to him by his True Name and so he had wanted nothing more but to ask this very valuable piece of information from one of the Ten Immortal Paragons in existence.
He had tried it himself but failed to get any results from his efforts. This was why it was most wise to pass this question to the one who dabbled the most in fate and prophecy to begin with.
If Twilight Moon would say that she was second in the Dao of Fate then nobody in the Mortal Realm would have the courage to claim first!
"Why do you need to ask for something you already know the answer to, Crazy Monkey?!
I've counted with my cute chubby fingers before I came here and am well aware of the boy's history from his birth up to the time of his death.
So don't speak unnecessary queries again or I may have to visit your secret realm of Apes and may steal some more Sacred Bananas from your garden!"
Twilight Moon licked her lips and fantasized about the hoard of Divine Fruits she may be able to capture this time around.
"My apologies, Daoist Twilight Moon. The mistake was totally in me. I won't spout such blasphemous words ever again!"
Crazy Monkey retained the stoic stance but his words has all but failed him in the end.
He could still remember so clearly all the devastation this little girl caused him a couple of million years in the past.
Although he had wanted so very badly to forget the memory but now that this topic has been brought up, this ancient True Immortal could not help but eat his pride once more.
Conflict against Twilight Moon was certainly not one amongst his options. Not then and absolutely not tonight also.
"Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... You are ever wise to back down, Crazy Monkey! Now as recompense, why don't you start licking my feet clean instead?"
Twilight Moon laughed and offered her feet in front of the speechless Daoist Crazy Monkey.
The clock kept on ticking but Crazy Monkey neither moved nor uttered another word of reply anymore.
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!" Small little hands patted gently on Crazy Monkey's shoulder. The shroud of darkness parted to reveal a muscled shoulder with thick brilliant white furs.
"You are a good monkey, Fellow Daoist." Twilight Moon smiled and granted her fellow True Immortal with the first kind words she had given today.
She turned her back on the trio once more and without another word spoken, led the group into the private chambers of our frustrated protagonist.
"So you've finally arrived. I was getting quite bored with your tardiness."
"Let's see what we have here. A loli and 3 of the 9 evil wraiths of Sauron."
"This is a surprise indeed!"
