Chapter 2830: Chapter 2830: Make A Concession
While the Five-element Emissaries from Bearing race remained anxious, Zen had already entered the central hall of the temple through the entrance.
On one side of the central hall, there was a wall on which a big bear statue was engraved as decoration. The carvings and delicate details on the statue were exquisitely sophisticated.
After Zen looked around in all directions, he approached the wall and placed his hand on it.
He had intended to destroy it to have a look at what was on the other side. Just as he began to break it down, a man showed up behind him and shouted, “You cannot destroy that wall!”
The man that suddenly appeared was an Indigo Soul. Zen immediately concluded him to be a member of the Bearing race.
“You think you can stop me?” Zen turned his face towards him and sneered meaningfully.
“Yes, I do!”
After saying this, the man abruptly made a move and pounced on Zen.
Immediately, Zen spurned this mere Indigo Soul and disposed of him like a bothersome gnat. As Zen waved his hand, the man was effortlessly thrown back for a few feet before he crashed into a wall.
He went easy on him this time. If he had added more strength in his blow, the man's Soul of Light would have been shattered.
With no more hindrances in his way, Zen approached the wall a second time. Wasting no time, he pressed hard on the wall with his right hand and applied a little pressure. 'Now then, let's see what we could find.'
“Crack!”
Not long after, the wall couldn't bear any more pressure, and it collapsed inwards.
He watched intently as the wall cracked up and revealed hidden compartments within it.
These secret compartments were in thirteen rows. And in each of them, there lay a piece of Other Shore Token!
Among the many Other Shore Tokens that now lay bare to him, three distinct ones in the thirteenth row caught his attention. A golden sculpture carved in the shape of a bull, a rhombus-shaped green gem, and a pair of curved feet of a monster.
He ran his eyes across them as if to scan these tokens and counted them in his heart. There were more than a hundred Other Shore Tokens in total from Stage One to Stage Thirteen of the Other Shore.
“You can't touch those Other Shore Tokens! They belong to our Bearing race!” Two more people appeared on the scene and shouted while pointing at the Other Shore Tokens.
Similar to the Oneness Sky Palace, the Bearing race also collected various Other Shore Tokens and kept them inside the wall for the members of their own race to use. However, they had never imagined someone like Zen would infiltrate their temple and attempt to steal them before they moved them away.
“Not anymore, they belong to me now,” Zen chuckled in amusement, staring at their frustrated faces.
These Other Shore Tokens must hold a lot of value in the market. Zen might not need them for himself, but he could sell them for something else.
However, he did not have a Sumeru Space of his own, as he was now in the form of his physical body. Collecting these Other Shore Tokens and storing them would be a problem. Zen had called Dorothy to aid him in his invasion for this reason.
The two men felt anxiety growing inside them as Zen remained firm to his cause. It was apparent the most they could do was attack him without caring about what would happen to them. Suddenly, they rushed towards him to try and take him down.
Zen was starting to get a little impatient. These guys would prove to be a nuisance if they weren't dealt with once and for all.
“Puff! Puff!”
This time, Zen exerted a little more force than before and threw them heavy punches. Although they were not dead, their Souls of Light had taken massive irreversible damage.
In the darkness inside the temple, the many members of the Bearing race stood watching the scene helplessly. They hung their heads loosely from their necks in defeat.
They could guess Zen's ultimate reason for coming here was to avenge the attack on the Oneness Sky Palace. But they had never expected him to be so ruthless. If only they hadn't done what they had to the Oneness Sky Palace, they wouldn't have to swallow the bitter pill they received at present. ŔÅＮ𝐎ВΕ𝙎
For the sake of her safety, Zen hadn't called Dorothy in.
After dealing with the members of the Bearing race, Zen proceeded to penetrate the wall with his two hands. Soon, the immense wall was lifted off the ground whole before Zen carried it onto his shoulders and walked out of the temple casually.
“That guy...”
“Shoot! He can enter the Other Shore with his physical body. We can't compare to his strength.”
“He's too terrifying. We can't compete with him!”
Noticing Dorothy from afar, Zen walked up to her smiling ear to ear with the wall still on his shoulders. Before he set it down, he glanced at her and said, “Put these away for me.”
Dorothy smiled tenderly. Her Soul of Light fluttered around the wall. With quick hands, she conjured up a blue square on her slender fingers. Soon after, those Other Shore Tokens were all sucked into the square.
“Wow! Quite a find if I do say so myself!” Dorothy let out a scream in excitement.
Zen chuckled at her reaction and shook his head. “This is nothing. I will have a bigger surprise for you, just wait and see...”
Just then, a man rushed over in their direction, almost out of breath. “Wait! Slow down...”
Zen paused to glance at him and asked, “Why? What's wrong?”
The man got closer to Zen's ear and whispered in a low voice, “Master Athemar has requested you to stop destroying the temple of the Bearing race.”
Zen sighed at his request and frowned to himself.
He had already torn down almost half of the temple, and he did not plan on stopping there. But now, Athemar had asked him to halt his attacks. It was probably because the Bearing race had asked the Oneness Sky Palace to do so, or maybe they had come to a compromise between both parties.
“Fine, I'll stop,” Zen said with an exasperated sigh as he raised his hands in defeat.
The messenger was a little shocked at Zen agreeing with Athemar's wishes so quickly. He never expected Zen would listen without much persuasion.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Oneness Sky Palace, such a man who could enter the Other Shore with his physical body could not be easily controlled. He never expected Zen to be so obedient. 'What relationship does Master Athemar share with this guy?'
“But, I will take what I deserve,” Zen said as the corners of his mouth turned into a mischievous smile.
The over one hundred Other Shore Tokens he just gathered had no value in Zen's eyes. Instead, he would give them away without hesitation in exchange for soul pills and soul crystal in the future.
Immediately, his mind began to wonder if the temple of the Bearing race had a large amount of soul crystal, just like the Other Shore Tokens. He could stop destroying the temple as ordered, but he would take what he came to get.
It seemed the Indigo Soul was not the destination of the soul. Later, he would definitely need more soul crystal as he would surpass the Lust World to enter the Desire World.
Meanwhile, in the great hall of the Oneness Sky Palace in the Source World, a disciple sat upright in the center, while the masters waited for him to wake up and bring the news of Zen's response.
“I doubt that guy would listen to Athemar...”
“Now that his physical body has entered the Other Shore, he must be unstoppable. Alas, I hope he can show some mercy!”
“I didn't expect the Bearing race would make such a huge concession!”
Several masters hung their heads with a hint of worry on their faces.
Just then, another news came from the Bearing race, offering a compromise. They had proposed to order the Sun Crow race to withdraw from the Mountain Viewing Province.
The dispute between the Sun Crow race and the Oneness Sky Palace in the Mountain Viewing Province had lasted for many years. It was always a headache to the Oneness Sky Palace.
Back then, when the Sun Crow race had a conflict with the humans of the Oneness Sky Palace, the Bearing race played a huge part in adding fuel to the fire. If they could end their war with the Sun Crow race by stopping Zen from destroying the temple, it could be beneficial for both parties.
But they didn't think that mysterious guy would obey Athemar's instructions.
Among all the masters present, only Athemar, Madam Yasamin, Winchell, and Goran knew Zen was that guy. When Athemar asked someone to take a message to Zen, Yasamin glanced at him with meaningful eyes.
After a while, the disciple opened his eyes and awakened, he returned the hopeful gazes of the masters and said, “That guy has agreed to not destroy their temple, but he still wants to go inside.”
“Why does he want to go to the temple?” the master of Ivory Mountain spoke up in curiosity.
“The Bearing race has accumulated countless treasures over the years. He wants to gather the things he wants from them.” “I really have no idea where this greedy guy came from!” laughed the master of the Golden Mountain.
