Chapter 609: Chapter 605: The Mural of All Beings Worshiping Buddha Chapter 609: Chapter 605: The Mural of All Beings Worshiping Buddha “Elder, I really do not understand what you mean by a reincarnated body. I also have no related memories in my mind…” Shen Luo said with some difficulty.

“No harm, no harm. A reincarnated individual is like a child whose spiritual aperture has not been opened. Come with me, I will show you some things that the Great King has left behind. They may awaken your memories,” said the Old Horse Monkey. He stood up, grabbed Shen Luo's arm, and led him away.

“Elder, have you already joined the Demon Clan?” Shen Luo asked, his feet hesitating, as he still wanted to save people.

The Old Horse Monkey's movements stiffened slightly. He slowly turned his head. There was a hint of sorrow and anger in his eyes as he said:

“That demon holds deep grudges against the Great King due to the incidents that occurred during the journey of fetching scriptures that year. When he arrived at the Flower Fruit Mountain, he slaughtered everything in sight, and many of our fellows and juniors could not escape that calamity. They all died tragic deaths under his butcher's knife. I didn't want to survive either. However, I believe that the Great King will definitely come back, just like when the Flower Fruit Mountain was occupied by the Chaotic World Demon King. When the Great King returns, he will seek justice for us…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo felt slightly moved. He remained silent and did not interrupt his elder's speech.

“That's why I can't die yet, I have to wait for that day… Otherwise, when the Great King returns, he would feel that the Flower Fruit Mountain no longer has any of its original atmosphere left. That cannot happen. We have failed to safeguard our home, but we can't lose that last bit of presence too,” said the Old Horse Monkey, his voice choking slightly towards the end.

Shen Luo frowned slightly and turned his head away, unable to bear watching.

“Luckily, I manage to wait until today…” said the Old Horse Monkey, his tone now shifting to one of joy.

“Elder, what do you want to show me?” Shen Luo asked.

“Please follow me…” The Old Horse Monkey then turned around and walked deeper into the Water Curtain Cave.

Shen Luo followed suspiciously. They passed the stone throne and came to a smooth mountain wall at the back of the cave.

The Old Horse Monkey stepped forward and wiped the stone wall with his hand. A layer of dust fell from the smooth central area of the stone wall, revealing a groove the size of a palm, sunk into the stone wall.

Shen Luo observed that the large groove was unmistakably a handprint. However, the palm was relatively short, and the fingers were exceptionally long. Furthermore, the joints of the fingers were especially large and clearly not of a human hand.

“Initially there were no mechanisms here, but after the Great King left that time, I set up a mechanism in secret and sealed this place up.” The Old Horse monkey stated as he placed his own palm into the handprint groove.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo was reminded of the giant handprint he saw on Mount Fangcun previously and understood that it was likely the handprint of a giant ape.

As the Old Horse Monkey's five fingers fit into the groove, a humming sound emerged from the stone wall. Just like ripples on water, the stone wall transformed into fluid-like spiritual power fluctuations, as if it had suddenly become malleable.

“Come,” the Old Horse Monkey said in a low voice.

Shen Luo hastily walked over. Upon seeing the Old Horse Monkey gesture for him to reach out his hand, he hesitated for a moment but then reached out to touch the stone wall.

However, as soon as he touched the stone wall, he was enveloped by an invisible force. A powerful force then came at him, causing him to stagger towards the stone wall.

He felt a chill in his heart and was about to do something when he realized that he was unexpectedly absorbed into the stone wall the moment he collided with it. He stumbled forward and disappeared into the stone wall.

Seeing this, the Old Horse Monkey did not follow but slowly withdrew his arm.

The water ripple-like patterns of light on the stone wall gradually disappeared, and the stone wall solidified and returned to its original state.

“If you really are the reincarnated body of the Great King, you will definitely be able to stand up by yourself,” the Old Horse Monkey said while staring at the stone wall.

Inside the stone wall, Shen Luo managed to steady himself after stumbling forward.

He scanned his surroundings and found that he was now standing on a cliff, beyond which, just a hundred feet away, was the edge where clouds undulated unpredictably.

Seeing that the Old Horse Monkey had not followed him, Shen Luo turned around to inspect his surroundings.

Behind him was a towering, vertical mountain wall, upon which a gigantic mural was carved. Standing in front of it, Shen Luo could not see the full mural and had no choice but to continue to retreat slowly.

Only when he reached the edge of the cliff did he finally see the full image of the mural.

It turned out to be a massive mural of numerous beings worshipping the Buddha. Not only were there humans depicted, but there were also hideous demons and animals yet to awaken their spiritual awareness. Some had their hands together in prayer; some were bowing their heads in worship; some fully prostrated themselves on the ground, each one appearing extremely devout.

However, these creatures were all concentrated on the right side of the wall, and their object of worship was on the left side.

To Shen Luo's surprise, there were no depictions of the Buddha on the left side of the wall. Instead, a smooth, mirror-like white crystal wall that could reflect a person's image was embedded there rather abruptly.

With his eyebrows raised, Shen Luo immediately activated his divine sense to investigate the white crystal wall.

“As I expected, just like last time, my divine sense cannot penetrate it…” he murmured to himself, having quickly withdrawn his divine sense.

Looking at the faint white lights that were reflecting off the mirror-like crystal wall, Shen Luo recognized that, apart from being larger, this crystal wall was almost identical to the one he had seen in the Observing Dao Cave on Mount Fangcun.

After some contemplation, he began to gaze intently at the crystal wall.

At first, there was no change. However, as he kept his gaze fixed on it, the light from the white crystal wall brightened and quickly filled Shen Luo's pupils.

He felt the world around him starting to spin and his eyes growing blurry. He began to feel a strong bout of dizziness engulf him.

This sensation was not unfamiliar to him. However, he merely stabilized his divine sense slightly and did not make a conscious effort to resist it.

Soon enough, the white crystal wall became more and more transparent and began to reflect his image. He stood facing his own reflection, looking back at himself. But even after quite some time, there was no further change in the stone wall.

Shen Luo frowned, feeling slightly puzzled. He had the strange feeling that something was not right.

With this thought in mind, he shifted his gaze to the right side of the mural, scanning the various creatures worshipping the Buddha. When he looked back at the white crystal wall on the left, he had a sudden revelation.
