Chapter 1945 - 1941: Acting Alone
"Luck?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing the word.
"I have arranged nine spatial teleportation arrays on the first layer. The positions of these arrays will change at any moment. Perhaps one array will allow you all to teleport without ever changing position, but it’s also possible that just as you find one, it will disappear right in front of your eyes. Go and search; if you find it, you pass the first test and can proceed to the second layer of the Ten Thousand Buddha’s Golden Pagoda. If not, you will stay here forever," the voice continued.
"Is luck considered a test?" Bai Linglong couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course, luck is also a part of one’s strength. Sometimes fortune is more important than strength," the voice asserted without doubt.
Bai Linglong’s face darkened upon hearing this.
"One more thing, to reward you for entering the Ten Thousand Buddha’s Golden Pagoda, I have set up a Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion on this first layer, containing some treasures. If you obtain them, you can survive the upcoming tests. But whether you can find them depends on your luck... hahaha..." The voice laughed heartily, gradually fading into nothingness.
Everyone present looked at each other, momentarily speechless.
"Since it’s a test of luck, it’s better if we disperse. Take care, everyone," Mi Su was the first to speak, flying into the distance with the Ape Ancestor and Tu Shantong.
"Let’s go too," Manjusri Bodhisattva glanced at Shen Luo and the other two, and left with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
"Friend Shen, I shall leave first as well. Until we meet again," Sun Wukong said to Shen Luo, then followed Manjusri and Samantabhadra.
The valley was left with only Shen Luo, Beiming Kun, and Bai Linglong.
"It’s of no use staying here. Let’s go quickly. According to the Lord of Black and White, there are only nine spatial arrays here, and they change positions frequently, making them hard to find. If someone is teleported and then destroys a few, it would be a big problem," Beiming Kun said.
