I Pick Up A Bunch Of Attributes Novel - Chapter 371
371 Really Very Small!
The bell waves vibrated and turned into surging golden waves.
The golden waves surged like golden flames that swept in all directions. Vaguely, they formed a ring-shaped door with countless mysterious patterns carved on it.
Behind that door, Feng Xia sensed a familiar aura.
“This… This is impossible!”
!!
In an instant, Feng Xia’s eyes widened and he almost fumbled.
When the village chief saw this scene, he was also stunned. What kind of terrifying existence was behind the door and being suppressed by this huge bell? It could even cause this extremely mysterious State Preceptor to become so shocked and lose his composure?
He turned to look at the door.
The golden light was dazzling, causing him to squint his eyes instinctively.
“What is that place?”
Even if he tried his best, he could not see clearly enough. He could only vaguely make out that it seemed to be an abyss. It was vast and filled with a deathly silence that was even deeper than death. It was as if it was outside the mortal world and above the sky, isolated from the world!
With just one glance, the village chief felt an inexplicable horror in his heart.
It was like if he looked at it a few more times, he would be expelled from this world and would have to wander outside, never to return to this world.
“Oh no!”
The village chief was terrified and hurriedly retracted his gaze.
At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from his body. He circulated his lifetime’s cultivation and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
“The State Preceptor… what about the State Preceptor? Eh?”
It was only when he was done with himself that he had time to look at Feng Xia carefully. Then, he noticed that the State Preceptor was still standing there. His clothes were fluttering slightly, and his expression was as calm as still water. It was as if the aura in the mysterious ruins could not affect him at all.
As expected of the State Preceptor!
He easily did what we could not do!
Therefore, at this moment, the village chief felt a sense of deep reverence for Feng Xia.
“How can it be this place?”
Feng Xia’s body swayed and his eyes lost focus. At this moment, he seemed to have just woken up from a dream and had traveled through time and space to return to the moment when he just transmigrated a year ago.
He was too familiar with the aura coming from behind the door.
He had spent the first few months after he transmigrated on that piece of land!
“Ancient! Forsaken! Land!”
Feng Xia used all his strength and slowly spat out a few words.
The village chief was stunned and muttered, “The Ancient Forsaken Land? This place is the Ancient Forsaken Land? I’ve heard of it before, but I’ve never really seen it…”
It was said that the Ancient Forsaken Land was a continent that fell from the sky. It was filled with inexplicable rules and isolated all the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if the immortals came here, they would still have to fall from the altar and become ordinary mortals!
Back then, when Lingyun Kingdom was at its peak, it had also sent experts to search for the whereabouts of the Ancient Forsaken Land.
However, after the tribulations of Lingyun Kingdom broke out, this matter was left unsettled.
In the end, the Ancient Forsaken Land was actually in the depths of the ancestral temple?
“It may not be the Ancient Forsaken Land.”
At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly calmed down. He shook his head and said in a low voice, “Something feels wrong.”
In fact, he quickly discovered a problem…
Behind the circular door, he did not sense Patriarch Chenhai’s aura!
“If the Ancient Forsaken Land is right in front of me, I should be able to sense Patriarch Chenhai’s presence. However, I can’t sense Master’s presence…”
Teachers were people who imparted knowledge and answered questions!
In Feng Xia’s heart, although they did not spend much time together, he had long treated Patriarch Chenhai as his master.
“Anyway… Let’s go in and take a look first!”
In the blink of an eye, thousands of thoughts flashed through Feng Xia’s mind. Then, his figure floated up and rushed toward the door like a streak of rainbow.
The village chief did not dare to be inattentive and hurriedly followed behind Feng Xia.
Swoosh—
The moment they passed through the door, everything seemed to change and the world seemed to turn upside down.
After that, when they looked down, they realized that they were standing on a desolate wasteland. An ancient aura filled every corner.
“Is it really the Ancient Forsaken Land?”
Feng Xia raised his eyebrows and divine light bloomed between his brows, separating Yin and Yang, cutting open the twilight and illuminating the space in all directions.
It looked like the place where Feng Xia first arrived. Although there were many strange plants around, dense and towering, and it was like a primitive forest at first glance, it could not hide the sense of desolation.
The Ancient Forsaken Land, a place forsaken by heaven and earth.
“It should be in that direction!”
Feng Xia walked forward with a sense of familiarity. He had walked through this place too many times. He walked past tall ancient trees and through the dense grass, gradually walking towards the center of this space.
The village chief soon noticed that as they continued to move forward, the serious look on the State Preceptor’s face had dissipated.
In its place was an indescribable strangeness.
“This place… this place… something’s wrong… something’s very wrong!”
Feng Xia frowned and the corners of his mouth twitched. The expression on his face seemed to be saying, “Are you kidding me?”
Sensing the change in Feng Xia’s mood, the village chief could not help but feel nervous.
If this place was not the Ancient Forsaken Land, then what kind of existence would it be?
The next second, he heard the State Preceptor beside him say.
“Why is this place so small?!”
Small?
The village chief was dumbfounded.
He had thought that it would be something major. Who would have thought that in the end, this State Preceptor’s lament would actually be about it being… too small!
Excuse me…
It is not like we are buying a house here. Why should we pay attention to whether the place is big or small?
For a moment, it felt as if something was stuck in his throat, making him feel sick but unable to vomit it out.
“It’s too small… Why is this place so small?”
Feng Xia rubbed his chin and repeated instinctively with a disdainful expression, “I feel like I’m looking at a domestically-produced figurine… Who is bored enough to build a miniature version of the Ancient Forsaken Land?”
After stepping into this place, he had already sensed it.
This place was not the true Ancient Forsaken Land.
It was more like a miniature model. In terms of scale, it was at least several times smaller than the Ancient Forsaken Land he knew!
It was also for this reason that when Feng Xia walked around and saw many familiar yet unfamiliar scenes, he felt especially awkward.
Not long after, he approached the center of the place.
“It really isn’t…”
After a while, Feng Xia let out a long breath.
The expression on his face was half-smiling and half-crying.
In the center of this miniature Ancient Forsaken Land, the towering tree that he was familiar with was not there, and neither was the sea of clouds created by Patriarch Chenhai.
The only thing that stood there was a dilapidated thatched cottage.
A nameless skeleton lay at the entrance of the thatched cottage.
“This …”
Feng Xia’s heart tightened again.
…
