Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1113 - 506: Mount Kunlun, The Destined One_2

[As time passed, Kunlun was gradually forgotten by the people...]

[At this point, the Little Dharma King, with an apologetic face, said to you, "Senior brother, it has only searched these records and the exact location of Kunlun."]

[Whether you can enter the gate of Mount Kunlun still depends on what kind of fate you, senior brother, have.]

[Senior brother, you have treated it with a sincere heart, so naturally, as a junior brother, it must also tell the truth. The Demon God ’Lu Wu’ might be somewhat annoyed by the presence of monks; if you insist on going to Kunlun, you must be very careful.]

[If you confirm that you are not the ’fated one,’ do not linger and leave Kunlun as soon as possible to avoid losing your life while failing to obtain the divine medicine.]

[Saying that, the Little Dharma King then informed you of the detailed location of the gate of Mount Kunlun and how to recognize Kunlun among the mountain ranges.]

[You have learned the exact location of Kunlun!]

When Lin Xun saw this prompt, it was as if he saw "You have unlocked a hidden quest—Journey to Kunlun!"]

Having obtained most of the preliminary information for the quest, he bid farewell to the Little Dharma King and immediately set off for Kunlun.

[...]

[You sat on the cloud raised by the White Elephant Demon, flying over the Gobi Desert, and then, mountains after mountains stretched out infinitely...]

[You looked down at the rolling mountain ranges beneath you. The mountains were a grayish-yellow, with very few trees and grasses, and the few trees that were there were sparse and twisted dry trees.]

[To describe this land as desolate and lifeless was very apt.]

[The White Elephant Demon, sitting beside you, said, "Junior brother, we have flown over four hundred miles in the direction the Little Dharma King described. Where is Kunlun?"]

[You carefully stared at the mountains below and replied, "The direction is not wrong, we should be arriving soon. Keep flying, senior brother, but slower..."]

[Upon hearing this, the White Elephant Demon slowed its cloud-riding speed to allow you to recognize the mountain features, and avoid missing them...]

[After searching for a long time, you suddenly pointed to a distant range of undulating peaks and said, "Senior brother, that is Kunlun!"]

[The White Elephant Demon looked in the direction you pointed. Among the mountains, two unremarkable mountains were connected to each other. The twin mountains shared nearly identical heights, slopes, and features.]

[The White Elephant Demon immediately drove the cloud forward, mumbling, "This Kunlun doesn’t look like anything special..."]

[It flew over the two peaks, looking down from this spot, both mountains were bare, without trees, birds, or beasts.]

[The White Elephant Demon asked aloud, "Junior brother, which of these two mountains is Kunlun?"]

[You smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, just land on the top of the mountain. The one with the Great Divine Power blocking you, preventing you from landing on the top and forcing you to land at the foot, that one is Kunlun."]

[Following your words, the White Elephant Demon did as you said, and indeed, as you described, one mountain allowed it to land directly on the top, while the other seemed to have an invisible barrier preventing it, no matter how hard the White Elephant Demon tried, it could not land on the top.]

[It could only obediently land at the foot of the mountain...]

[Once it landed at the foot, the bare mountain in front of you suddenly underwent a drastic and earth-shattering change.]

[The once small mountain instantly grew as tall as a pillar holding up the sky, lush with vegetation and the calls of birds and insects echoing continuously; you even saw white cascades of waterfalls rushing down from the mountain.]

[A breeze blew by, the fragrance of the soil, the scent of vegetation, and the cool, moist air filled your nostrils, refreshing and invigorating.]

[The White Elephant Demon, stunned by the change in front of its eyes, exclaimed that this Blind Eye Method was indeed a Great Divine Power.]

[A stone stairway zigzagged from the base of the mountain directly to the top, and it was roughly estimated to have tens of thousands of steps!]

[You looked up, and on top of the mountain, there seemed to be streams of golden light flowing and twinkling—it indeed was the legendary sacred land of Buddhism.]

[At the base of the mountain trail next to the start of the stone steps, a small stone stele was erected, with characters engraved on it...]

["Only the ’fated ones’ can climb step by step to the top; if fate is not with you, do not force it. Enough said, remember, remember!"]

[Left by Dharma King Rondo Thirteenth of the Secret Trace Temple.]

[The stele, judging by the degree of erosion of the material, seemed to have stood there for hundreds of years, likely by Dharma King Rondo Thirteenth, who angered the Demon God ’Lu Wu’ centuries ago.]

[The Dharma King erected this stele next to the start of the stone steps to warn monks who came after him.]

[The White Elephant Demon, looking at the text on the stele, somewhat disbelievingly stepped up a few steps on the stone stairs. It did not feel anything unusual and opened its mouth, "Eh? Could it be fated with this Kunlun? Is the fated one really it?"]

["Junior brother, you also come up and try."]]

[The White Elephant Demon looked at the long winding mountain path, tried to raise clouds and fly, but was shocked to find that all divine powers that included flying were forbidden here. It also tried to use shifting power, but that too was ineffective.]

[Not only were flying powers and shifting powers unusable, but even its formidable Great Magical Power could not be utilized.] 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[At that moment, a bird fluttered its wings a few times on a distant tree and flew up high and away...]

[The White Elephant Demon stared blankly at the departing bird, muttering to itself, "Damn, it’s really strange. I’m not even as good as a bird here."]

[You stepped onto the stone stairs, and as your foot touched the first step, you sharply felt a very slight force pressing on you.]
