Chapter 1487 - 216: Buddha Bowl Music
"Fearful God?"
Amidst the watchful gaze of many heroes and the bitter accusations and curses of the powerful ones, Xu Shu suddenly felt a bit puzzled.
Why does this name seem somewhat familiar?
Where did he hear it before?
He thought for a moment, and gradually, some not particularly ancient yet not particularly important memories flooded his mind, helping him successfully recall the origin of this familiar "Fearful God."
Wasn’t this what those inexplicable people in the Wulaoxuan Sect, with their terrifying aura but ordinary strength, called a god back then?!
Xu Shu remembered that the local residents of the Wulaoxuan Sect were all cursed with the "Curse of Wulao."
According to the curse’s intensity and characteristics, the inhabitants could be classified into three types: The first type was the most ordinary red-eyed commoners who, cursed to be ’ageless and sleepless,’ became the lowest stratum in the sect ruins, working tirelessly like oxen and horses, day and night;
The third type, the "Lantern Boatmen," possessing second to third-tier strength, constituted the main force in the secret realm and ruins as ’high-level existence,’ responsible for guarding the Xuanmen Treasure Vault and maintaining order among the lower strata;
The second type, wedged in-between, was the "Divine Favored," one step higher than the red-eyed beastly people, possessing some Transcendent powers, an extremely terrifying aura, and combat ability around tier one.
These people were also named ’Fearful Divine Favored’ by the Tai Chu scroll.
The name alone implied that, as the favored ones of the Fearful God, the deity they worshiped was naturally the "Fearful God!"
But wasn’t this the monster from the Wulaoxuan Sect legends?
Why is the No-Life Mysterious Sect studying how to combat it?
’Knowing more equals knowing less’ law took effect, as Xu Shu, who recalled the name’s origin of the Fearful God, became even more puzzled.
He murmured very softly: "Hmm, it seems that despite the Four Sufferings Mysterious Sects appearing to be independent ’Silent Extinction Ruins,’ they actually have secret connections?
"If we were to draw comparisons, their layouts indeed share many similarities.
"For instance, the lower-class populace here, cursed with the suffering of No-Life, must strive to give birth to sustain their livelihood, quite akin to the first type in the Wulaoxuan Sect, the red-eyed beastly people!
"And the second type would be those witches from the White Lotus Sect, whose status is slightly above the average citizen, akin to the Divine Favored of the Wulaoxuan Sect?"
Xu Shu pondered and shook his head: "No, no! More precisely speaking, including the Guiding Envoys and elders, these fellows are all ’Divine Favored,’ after all, within the ruins, they are ’relative human’ existence!
"And the third type should be these ’No-Life Mothers’ from the White Lotus Sect, right?
"After all, so far, only they are not human, labeled as monsters, akin to the Lantern Boatmen, dropping crystals upon death!
"It makes sense! One is Du Mu, and one is Boatman, not only are both related to boats, but they also align with male and female roles!
"Jiejie, truly fitting for me, instantly analyzing the similarities between two different mysterious sects, I’m just a genius!"
Xu Shu sorted out the tangled thoughts in his mind, unable to hold back the laughter of understanding.
But he couldn’t laugh, for the ’know less’ law took effect once more.
"Wait a second, given this, then shouldn’t the ’Mother of Non-Birth’ and ’Fearful God,’ revered by Divine Favored within their respective sects, be quite familiar with each other?
"Why use No-Life Mothers, or ’Lotus Mothers,’ to oppose the Fearful God? Could existences from different sects have actually developed infighting? Or were they naturally at odds, merely confined together in the ruins by chance?"
"Furthermore, you guys, your aura unshielded and cultivation fully exhibited, are roughly my level, about third-tier Transcendent, where do you get the strength and confidence to dare challenge an ’god-like’ enemy with divine characteristics?"
"Which blunt fool gave you the courage... wait, no."
"Transcendent???"
Xu Shu suddenly froze in expression.
No time to dwell on the love-hate relationship between ’Fearful God’ and ’Mother of Non-Birth,’ he looked around at the enemies and immediately noticed a very important distinction.
These people should not be natives of the Four Sufferings Mysterious Sect.
The aura of ’post-containment erosion curse power’ surrounding them was too distinct, whether compared to a monster like the No-Life Mother or the Guiding Envoys and elders, these ancient practitioners had quite distinct differences.
Xu Shu confirmed because he possessed the same himself!
In other words, these individuals were Transcendents from the real world outside, entering the No-Life Mysterious Sect for exploration, belonging to the Penglai Safety Zone Transcendents!
Wow, turns out, they’re all fellows from back home...
"Hey!"
A sudden shout interrupted Xu Shu’s train of thought.
In the span of a few breaths, a total of nine people arrived at the spot, each with extraordinary presence, all top-notch experts, surrounding Xu Shu.
Among them, a young spirited lady, wearing a split flag robe with an odd rabbit mask dangling from her waist, had a rather bad temper. She immediately cursed irritably: "Damn, seeing you mumble for ages now, what are you muttering to yourself about! Did you even hear us speaking?"
