Jian ling roamed the forest without any destination searching for beast to kill but he found non,not even a single beast. It was a really weird situation as he didn't understand why not even a single beast approached him,not even a qi sensing realm beast to talk of a qi condensation realm one. It didn't seem to make sense to him as this was the same thing that happened to him during the period after he ate the fruit. He started wondering whether the fruit had a beast repellent effect or something like that.
After walking for a while,He still found no beast and was already tired,he started wondering whether he should go back and beg his teacher or he should just find a way out of the forest and start a new life.
But he soon shook his head and encourage himself to not give up and continue on the quest. He continued his way forward while using the wooden knife which he made to cut trees and branches in his way. He walked aimlessly for a few hours and soon got tired and was about to give up.
He crouched down and was taking deep breath only to find a little bit of water there. The water was quite muddy and wasn't all that clear. Jian ling was at a lost of whether to laugh or cry,Just when he was in such a predicament he had to find such a dirty water,The temptation was to much and he couldn't stop looking at the water as his thirst refused to let him,yet looking at the disgusting particles floating on the water,He couldn't bring himself to drink it. He was in a stalemate of what to do at this moment.
Suddenly, His expression changed and a frown appeared on his face. He raised his head and looked ahead as if looking for something,but then he looked down at the water again and then raised his head and looked down again,He continued this action for a few times as a look of confusion and little bit of fear and shock appeared on his face,He didn't understand what was going on.
He could make out a figure of a building at his front through the water but he couldn't see any when he looked up,'Was there a hunted house here' He thought inwardly. His first impulse was to turn around and run away but for some reason something within him was telling him otherwise and was even pushing him to go into the building.
The building had a Tower like structure with a two sides door at it centre front,it had a circular handle filled with white crystals. That was the only thing he could clearly make out from the building which seemed really weird as everything looked like they were being prearranged. He didn't understand any of this.
At this point,he started deliberating whether he should take this gamble or not.
He really hated situations like this and didn't really know what to do. This was another life gamble. He had had to gamble with his life on many occasions since he started this little adventure of his and it was really starting to worry him. He didn't fear death didn't mean he was okay with being toyed with by luck this way.
"Sigh....." He let out a long sigh before walking towards the building. Whilst he wasn't happy with the Gamble's he knew he had gained a lot from each of them so he knew better than to run away from dangers of this sort especially with the attractive feelings he was getting from his body to go in. it was as if something was calling from within the Tower.
Even though he couldn't see the tower but he could tell the direction it was through the water. He kept walking to towards the direction slowly,with his hands raised forward as he was trying to avoid bumping into the tower incase of any defence mechanism, Lest he die without knowing how.
Soon, He could feel his hand scrape through a door like structure. He slowly traced his hands round the door looking for the handle which he soon found.
He soon found the handle but immediately his hands came into contact with the handle,The door shut open itself,it seemed as if it had recognised his hands which seemed really weird to him. He raised his eyes as his gaze peered into the sight ahead. A flabbergasted expression appeared on his face when the sight beyond the door greeted him.
There were hundred of thousands of people knotowing towards a statue which was at the centre of the front side of the Temple. But that wasn't what shocked him,what shocked him was that the statue was floating,yes,A floating statue and right beneath the statue,There was a staff embedded to the floor. This staff that looked like it hasn't been touched or used by someone for a very long time. But as soon as the door shut open to reveal jian ling,The staff immediately started vibrating as if trying to free itself and sweep it way towards him.
The action of the staff seemed to have awakened the people who were praying to the statue. A look of confusion could be seen on many face when they saw the statue actions. They looked around to find the cause of the incident and finally thier eyes rested on him.
"You filthy son of a bitch,how did you get in here" He said as he knew that jian ling wasn't one of them through the dress jian ling was putting on. They were all dressed in old fashion Chinese modern dresses
Jian ling was still quite shocked about the sight in front of him that he didn't seem to here the young man words. He had already gotten a gist of what was happening here,He knew he had unknowingly stumbled into a secluded clan,sect or other super power base.
