Chapter 780 - 757: The Stone Statue Reveals Its Holiness (2/3)
Zhou Heng happened to face away from the stone statue as he ascended the steps, so now all he could see was its back. Yet even just this backdrop filled him with the wonder of an extraordinarily beautiful woman, and what’s more, a sense of familiarity.
He began to walk, circling the massive altar. At least a few hundred people were worshipping devoutly, arranged in orderly circles, forcing Zhou Heng to navigate the outer regions.
While this meant he had to walk a bit further, what did a few extra steps matter to a Sublimation Emperor?
Two minutes later, he reached the front of the stone statue.
Though it was just a statue, the craftsmanship was exquisite, capturing every detail of the clothing on its body as a top-grade masterpiece. The sculpture featured a slender waist, a bountiful chest, and long hair that seemed to flutter in the wind—utterly lifelike!
However, as Zhou Heng’s gaze moved to the statue’s head, he felt as though doused with a bucket of water, his face immediately expressing great disappointment.
He couldn’t see the face of the stone statue!
With a sigh, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but feel regret; just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a shock.
How could he not see the face of a stone statue? This was an extremely odd occurrence in itself. Why had he so easily accepted it as if it were perfectly normal and then disregarded it?
Another oddity was the almost indistinguishable destructive power between the Sublimation Emperor and those in the Heaven-Opening Realm. It was as if he had developed dementia, repeatedly needing to recall the memory before recognizing its strangeness!
As if influenced by an unseen force, he became indifferent to these abnormalities, dulling the oddity of the situation.
