Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 750 - 213: Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers! The Anomaly of the Destiny Coffin! (10,000-word Mega - !)_5
"Only the right side and the back remain now," the young Envoy continued. "If the noise came from the back, it shouldn’t have traveled so far as to collapse the Taoist Temple across from us, should it?"
"Does the distinguished guest mean to say that we don’t need to look at the back of this mountain and only need to go back to check the right side?" the Observatory Master of the Taoist Temple also followed up, asking with curiosity.
Although he was an Observatory Master, he was very polite in the face of this group of Envoys from the Great Yan Dynasty.
Within these Envoys, even the younger ones had cultivation levels not much different from his own.
After all, he was just a Cultivator from a minor area. And this group of Envoys from the Great Yan Dynasty came from the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty! The difference between them was as great as that between heaven and earth.
"No, go directly to the back," said an old Envoy who had been silent until now, finally speaking up: "An intuition tells me that there is something extraordinary at the back of the mountain."
Among all those present, naturally, it was the old Envoy whose words carried the most weight. When he spoke up like that, no one dared to voice any objections.
Then, this group that had already been walking for most of the day continued on towards a further location.
They arrived at the back of the mountain range and discovered that the ground here was littered with fierce cracks!
The number of cracks on the ground made every step they took cautious.
Some of the cracks were wider than a person’s body; one careless step could mean falling into an unknown depth!
"The ground here is very unstable, it seems I did not misjudge; there really is something extraordinary in this direction."
The old Envoy spoke, "The noise that caused the collapse of the Taoist Temple must have come from this direction."
The party continued on for a distance, crossing over a gentle slope.
And then, a scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Even the old Envoy was no exception.
"What is this..." a Taoist gaped at what lay ahead, his face filled with horror: "What is this thing? I remember... I remember there was no such thing on this mountain! Who could be so idle as to carve such a gigantic statue here?!"
"It must not have been carved by someone; to carve such a massive form, it would take decades, wouldn’t it?" the old Envoy said with a complex tone.
What they saw before them was an enormous, bizarre figure, inexplicably embedded into the mountain itself!
This figure was severely damaged, and they could see a huge fist imprint on its chest.
It was as if a giant, tens of meters tall, had left that fist imprint on the figure.
And they saw that the body was topped with a locust’s head!
This locust head astounded the Envoys from the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Taoists from the Taoist Temple, on the other hand, had their eyes wide open in disbelief!
One of the Taoists, unable to contain his shock, exclaimed, "Is... Is this the Great Locust Immortal?!"
What?!
The Great Yan Envoys immediately focused their puzzled looks on the Taoist who had cried out.
"What is the Great Locust Immortal?" the old Envoy asked.
The Observatory Master was also very shocked, his throat felt dry, and he explained with difficulty: "The Great Locust Immortal is a local deity from our neck of the woods. A severe locust plague hit this area over a decade ago, and it was resolved by this deity named the Great Locust Immortal."
"A deity? The Great Locust Immortal?" the old Envoy furrowed his brow: "Since when do the Immortal Gods look like this?"
The Observatory Master explained, "At first we also found it strange, but after the Great Locust Immortal resolved the plague, it did not do anything else... Also, the common people in this area gradually resumed their normal lives."
That meant, quite clearly, that they, as Taoists, did not think it was a righteous god.
But since it chose not to harm people or do anything strange...
Out of concern for their own safety, they did not interfere much with the matter.
Yes, out of concern for their safety!
Because such a being was not something that they, rural Cultivators, could provoke. One mishap could lead to trouble, and their entire Taoist Temple might be wiped out in a bloodbath!
In such a case, how could they dare to approach the Great Locust Immortal?
"I see," said the old Envoy, nodding slightly, as if he had suddenly understood. He then took out a talisman, folding it into the shape of a paper crane.
He then blew on the paper crane, and suddenly the crane fluttered its wings and took off, flying straight toward the massive, damaged body of the Great Locust Immortal.
The paper crane, having pecked off a small piece of flesh from the body of the Great Locust Immortal, flew back towards the old Envoy.
"It’s alive." When the paper crane dropped a small piece of flesh into the old Envoy’s palm, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath and declared gravely, "If I am not mistaken, this damaged body must be the very form of the Great Locust Immortal you speak of!"
