Then, the three started running toward the Forbidden Ground of the 55 Buddhas' Tombs at an extremely high speed.
Soon, they reached a giant gate. A large name tag was on it with the description as,
'Forbidden Ground of the 55 Buddhas' Tombs.'
'Warning: Outsiders are not welcome here!'
Five bold monks were currently guarding before the gate. They all had the cultivation base of the lvl 10 of the Supreme God realm.
"Grandpa Du Shan, are we really going inside that place through that gate? " Joey asked telepathically in his mind.
"Nope! We will sneak inside that place from another place. Alright, follow me closely. " Du Shan replied in his mind.
Then, they sneakily passed and moved to another place.
Du Shan brought them near to a giant tall Banyan tree.
There was a large hole at the foot of the tree. Then, he entered inside it.
Joey and Hai Yun closely followed behind him.
It was even darker inside the hollow of the tree. Du Shan took out some lightning gems and soon that place became visible to them.
From inside, it looked like they were inside a room with a rounded wall. There were many symbols on the wall.
Du Shan took out a paper talisman and started burning it.
When the paper talisman was completely burnt out to ashes, the symbols on the walls started illuminating white light.
"Young Master Joey, Young Miss Hai Yun, please don't resist." Du Shan said.
The white light fell on their bodies. Then, soon they disappeared from inside that place.
Thud! Thud! Thud! (Sound of falling down on the ground)
They appeared in the air and fell down on the ground landing disorderly.
"Hah, the gravity in this place is 7 times more than the outside," Joey said while feeling the weight on his body.
"Ah! It is daytime here." Hai Yun exclaimed and said.
"Miss Hai Yum, there is no nighttime in this Forbidden Ground of the 55 Buddhas' Tombs. I don't know the reasons. But, it was always daytime like this every time I came here before." Du Shan explained.
"Also, one more thing. No one can fly up in this place, even those old monsters that I knew of. " He said.
Joey and Hai Yun looked up and saw something really amazing in the air.
They saw 54 small mountains floating in the air. The mountains were extremely beautiful and eye-catching to look at them. They were all greens from the trees that had grown over that places.
The 54 small mountains were connected by crimson colors foot stairs which were made from a strange type of wood. The only thing that was connecting those mountains to the ground was the crimson stairs. Also, the path connecting them was in a spiral shape.
"Young Master Joey, those 54 small green mountains are the tombs of 54 Buddhas that had sacrificed their lives for this Shen Sheng World. They were legends in this world. It was rumored that each of them was extremely strong and considered the paragon of their times." Du Shan explained.
"Grandpa Du Shan, I have a doubt," Joey said.
"What is it?" Du Shan asked.
"By the name of this place, it says about 55 Buddhas' tombs. But, why is it only 54 Buddhas' tombs that we see here?" Joey asked.
"Oh, about that, Young Master Joey, there is another golden color giant mountain high in the sky. We can not see it with our eyes because it is hiding under a tier-10 Concealment Array Formation." Du Shan explained.
"Also, one more thing, the large teleportation array formation to go to your world is also in that 55th mountain. " He continued.
"Alright, let's climb up. If we are a bit late, then we will miss the proper time to leave this place." Joey said.
Then, they quickly approached toward the foot of the crimson stairs.
After that, they started climbing up.
When they just landed their feet on the staircase, they felt something vibrating from inside the wooden staircase.
Joey exclaimed in his mind, "What the hell! Isn't it like the pulse of a man?"
Joey looked at Du Shan and asked with confusion, "Grandpa Du Shan, what is going on? I felt a faint sound of beating heart from inside this staircase."
"Young Master Joey, don't worry. It is very normal. But, when I once came here with my father, I asked the same question to him?" Du Shan replied.
"What did he say?" Hai Yun asked curiously.
"He told me about an interesting story. It was about the 55th Buddha of that 55th mountain tomb." Du Shan said. They all kept climbing up the stairs at an extremely high speed.
Du Shan continued telling them about the story of the 55th Buddha while they kept climbing up the staircase.
Once a giant willow tree fell from the sky on the Shen Sheng World. It landed on the ground producing a loud booming sound. After that, a big earthquake happened all over the world. Many cities, towns, and villages around the spot of the impact turned into dust. Almost, 3% of living beings in the world died at that time.
Then, the willow tree monster kept roaring from pain. It was already wounded severely before it fell down the sky. Half of its body was wilted and turned charcoal black while the other half was still green with vigorous vitality on it. Then, it started moving and bringing its heavily wounded giant body.
To heal itself, it started absorbing all the life essence qi of the living things that it came across. Almost, more than 50% of living things in that time were sucked dry of their life essence qi by it. And their corpses turned into dust particles blown away by the winds.
But, it still could not heal itself from that life essence qi that it sucked from those living beings. So, it finally rooted on the earth and started sucking the life essence of the Shen Sheng world. It almost sucked half of the life essence of this world.
At that time, a Buddhist monk wearing a simple saffron color Kasaya appeared at the time and suppressed the giant Willow tree monster.
The monk became furious from seeing the sinful actions of the Willow tree.
So, he chanted a Buddhist sutra and finally turned this giant Willow monster into this staircase as a punishment for destroying half of this world.
