The Journey of Feng Zun 2
Chapter 118

"What's really going on, Teacher?" The white-robed youth sensed that something was amiss.

After a moment of silence, the old man said, "Zang Ling, do you remember the five protective Great Decrees of Wild Orion?"

Zang Ling nodded, "I remember, it was the Supreme Decree that absorbed the power of luck to guard the good fortune of a territory. Each of them were the Decree of the Fantian Sacred Mountain, the Sky Bridge, the Golden Horizon Decree, the Eight-Way Supreme Decree, and the Decree of True Sanctity."

Here, Zang Ling looked somewhat confused, "Teacher, why did you suddenly ask me that? Don't tell…."

The old man's expression was fickle and incomprehensible as he said, "The text above the door is adorned with the Decree of the Fantian Sacred Mountain!"

Zang Ling instantly froze, fixated in place.

The Decree of the Fantian Holy Mountain!

This was the supreme Decree of the Fantian Emperor Sect, which was not distributed to outsiders. Only a handful of the old monsters of the sect had mastered it!

Yet now, the power of this supreme Decree had appeared in the Luo Mainland, in a small, mediocre village. Of course Zang Ling was surprised!

"Teacher, is this... is this real?" Zang Ling found it hard to believe him.

"I'm not blind" the old man snapped. "How could I be wrong?"

Zang Ling instantly felt embarrassed, but a wave of emotion spread into his heart, "Teacher, do you think whether the old monster from the Fantian Wild Orion Emperor Sect descended into this world, or not, and leave the decree here to protect this village?"

The old man's expression changed, "That's possible, but.this isn't necessarily the work of one of the elders of the Fantian Wild Orion Emperor Sect."

After saying this, he shook his head.

Although Zang Ling was very curious, when she saw her teacher did not want to discuss it, she held back.

It was then that the old man suddenly took a deep breath, faced the line of text, and tilted his head to greet, "I and my disciple came here with no intention of disturbing the peace. Fellow Daoist, if you feel our presence, please do not take offense."

Then, without saying anything more, he clutched the white-robed young man's shoulder, turned around, and rushed away.

After they left the small village in Dailiang Kingdom, a heavy burden seemed to be lifted off the old man's shoulders, and he breathed in the murky air, "Break the village only to Lao Ping and Lao An. If anyone else tried to snatch it, that luck would turn into a disaster, and they would face the greatest calamity and danger!"

Zang Ling had been flustered before, but upon hearing that, she broke out in a cold sweat.

How good is the teacher? But he seems to be afraid of the line of text. He could not help but be amazed and try to keep his distance.

Only then did Zang Ling understand why no one dared to disturb the tranquility of the Dailiang Kingdom.

With the presence of the majestic power of the Fantian Holy Mountain Decree, both human cultivators and ferocious beasts, demons, ghosts, and monsters, no one would dare to cause trouble here.

"The brothers were really lucky to get calligraphy from such an expert. They might be ordinary humans, but they would live their lives in peace, without any worries of disaster. They are much freer and happier than we are." sighed the old man.

"Teacher, have you guessed anything before?" Zang Ling would not ask.

The old man shook his head, "Perhaps, but I can't talk about it. We are just passers-by in the Luo Land, we are here only to find the Heaven Pawnshop, in order to obtain the opportunity you need to prove your Dao Path and become an Immortal God."

As he spoke, he took out a turtle shell-shaped jade covered in snow from his sleeve.

Its shell was filled with natural Dao Rune, and it was extremely strange.

The old man calmed his heart and felt its depth.

After a while, his eyebrows shot up, "About two months ago, the Heaven Pawnshop appeared on the Luo Mainland, but we came too late. It had been a long time since they had left this world.." He could only sigh deeply.

Zang Ling inevitably asked, "Teacher, there is something I have never understood. Why is proving my Dao Path to become an Immortal God, requiring an exchange in the Heaven Pawnshop?"

The old man patted Zang Ling on the shoulder and said softly, "You are different from everyone else, your cultivation path is unlike someone else's. All I can say is that without the help of the pawnshop, the day when you prove your Dao and become an Immortal God, it will also be the day of your death."

His master had taken him to countless different worlds, and they spent many years in quests, all so that his disciple could prove his Dao Path to become an Immortal God.

Not long ago, they finally found a clue about the location of the "Heaven Pawnshop", which was why they rushed to the Luo Mainland.

They would never have expected that they would still arrive late!

"It doesn't matter if we're a little late. As long as we can catch up to the pawnshop, sooner or later we'll find it" the old man said.

With that, he bit the tip of his right finger and deciphered something on the shell of the snowy turtle at high speed.

Whong!

Bloody light circulated, and a snow-white shell shook.

The old man looked rather pale, and beads of sweat formed on his eyebrows.

A short while later, the snow-white turtle shell calmed down, and the Dao Rune on its surface shifted to each other. In the end, it formed a strange and incomprehensible mysterious diagram.

The old man was dumbfounded. After learning the secret within the mysterious diagram, he muttered, "Superficial! The Heaven Pawnshop has gone to the Netherworld World!"

Netherworld World!

Zang Ling put a strange look in his eyes, and he grimaced. "Teacher, we've been looking for him for a dozen years. Who would have thought we were just wasting our time…?"

He and his master were from the Netherworld World!

The corner of the old man's lips twitched.

After a while, he murmured, "Rumors say that throughout the ancient times, wherever the Heaven Pawnshop appeared, unexpected and surprising changes would definitely be imminent...

"Not long ago, the Heaven Pawnshop appeared on the Luo Mainland, and before long, the world welcomed the unprecedented Radiant Age...

"And now, a pawnshop has appeared in the Netherworld World... will the Netherworld World also face the same great change?"

As he said this, the old man's expression turned serious, and he immediately made a decision. "Zang Ling, we should be right back!"

"Teacher, there is no path to the Netherworld World from the Luo Mainland. Even if we want to go back, we have to take a detour through the space gap in the other world to get there" Zang Ling said.

"There is no need for a detour" said the old man. "Let's go to the Long Dynasty and ask for help to Zeng Mo Palace."

Zang Ling exclaimed, "Teacher, how did you know the members of Zeng Mo Palace were in the Long Dynasty?"

"It's actually just a coincidence" the old man laughed. "For so long, while searching for the traces of the Heaven Pawnshop in the Long Dynasty, I accidentally recognized some of the disciples of Zeng Mo Palace. They might be able to hide their distinctive aura from the inhabitants of this world, but they can't fool me."

Zang Ling looked enlightened.

"Let's go" said the old man.

Before they left, he inevitably turned around and looked at the village that was shrouded in darkness for the last time.

Who exactly had placed the Decree of the Fantian Holy Mountain there?

In the end, the old man held back his curiosity and took his disciple away.

The teacher and disciple gradually disappeared in the distance.

The brothers Lao Ping and Lao An were sound asleep in their straw hut.
