Chapter 38Gorampa had been spending most of his time near the Sacred Abyss. He was studying the seals and paying attention to the spiritual energy that was transferring onto Earth. He was also cultivating and regaining his old strength. He had met with the other Ancestor Monks from different temples around the world. Since Gorampa"s temple was closest to the Sacred Abyss, and they had the most knowledge of what was happening, it was unanimously agreed to allow Gorampa to oversee the situation. From what Gorampa could tell of the seals they had been first ruptured from the Sacred Abyss side. When he checked the strength of the seals he found that there was a fatal flaw in the ancient ones plan back then. Because the seals were meant to keep people from the Sacred Abyss out of Earth it also sealed the spiritual energy convection between the two worlds. As Earth"s energy began to wane and eventually vanish all together, the power supporting the seals vanished as well. At most the seals were as flimsy as bubbles at this point. The being that ruptured the seals originally was hiding his power as he did so. There was absolutely no restriction for him as he pa.s.sed thru the seals.
If this happened at the time of the plane crash then its highly possible that some of the people on the plane would have been sucked into the Sacred Abyss. Think of it as a pressurized ship, if a hole is suddenly punched in its hull then the air will first be sucked out of the new hole before the pressure becomes stabilized. Right now even though there are very small amounts of spiritual energy coming onto Earth the majority of the pressure is still in The Sacred Abyss.
The seals right now look like layers of inverted parachutes. The pressure can escape thru the hole in the top, but the process is very slow. Since the seals are destroyed anyway Gorampa feels that he should just destroy them to speed up the stabilization process. But in order to do that he would have to travel down into the Sacred Abyss himself.
Gorampa had been sitting above the Sacred Abyss debating with himself if this was the right move to make for days now. The only draw back he could see to his plan is that it would make Earth become visible to people on the other side. Theoretically the Earth should already be visible to people of the other side because the seals had already been broken. And beside the plane crash there has been no other signs of anyone entering Earth from the other side. The plane crash wasn"t proof of hostile intent, because do to its proximity to the Sacred Abyss it could have been a complete accident. Imagine a grown up turning a corner and knocking down a child that they didn"t know was there. The beings that come from the Sacred Abyss are so powerful that a mere swing of their arm or flick of their finger could change the weather.
Having finally convinced himself Gorampa charged down into the Sacred Abyss. The seals were so feeble that he merely released all of his power creating a wind shockwave in front of himself that completely destroyed the seals as he pa.s.sed through them. There were thousands of seals that lined the portal in the Sacred Abyss. Even Gorampa was surprised by what the ancient ones were able to accomplish. He also understood why all spiritual energy was completely cut off. From what he could sense of the seals before he destroyed them there was a redundancy placed inside of the entire seal formation. If this barrier had been attacked from the other side the power of all of these thousands of seals would have been transferred to the front intensifying the strength of the last seal exponentially. These thousands of seals would have seemed like hundreds of millions when this formation was at full power. The ancient ones sacrifice was truly great, but they really ensured the safety of mankind.
A couple days later Gorampa finally destroyed the last seal. As he floated in the air above the Sacred Abyss world Gorampa began to laugh like a lunatic. The amount of spiritual energy in this world was so abundant that just breathing was strengthening his body. Gorampa sent his spiritual sense out to see what was around. To his surprise, not to far away he felt a strong aura that seemed to have come from Earth. Gorampa went to find out who this strong aura belonged to. As he neared a forest that was about two hundred miles from where he was ne noticed a barrier set up near the edge of the forest. Gorampa walked around the barrier trying to see if there were any defensive runes used to make it. He was surprised to find that it was solely a restriction barrier. It was meant to keep people that"s it. As Gorampa stretched his hand out to touch the barrier he was surprised to see his hand pa.s.s right thru.
When Shanggu Julong set up the barrier he restricted everyone from his world from being able to enter. When he set the barrier to allow Chen Zhen to pa.s.s freely thru, he didn"t set it to Chen Zhen personally, but he set it to Earth realm energy signature. So the actual key wasn"t Chen Zhen"s energy signature, but Earth"s which Chen Zhen shared also. There was no way for Shanggu Julong to know that someone from Earth would be able to make it to the Sacred Abyss world.
Gorampa quickly withdrew his hand looking around to see if anyone or anything was alerted to his presence. When there was no respond, he put his hand thru the barrier again. Seeing that there was no harm, Gorampa walked into the barrier. He stood there shocked by what he saw on the other side. The spiritual energy inside was even thicker than outside the barrier. There were fruit trees around and a clear stream flowing down the right side of the clearing he found himself in. Gorampa could see a stone platform, and two small shacks near the stream at the other end of the clearing. Everything was sunny and bright unlike the twilight he found inside of the forest. Gorampa was still observing the clearing when he felt an oppressive spiritual sense envelop him. Looking back toward the shacks Gorampa saw a blood red streak of light heading his way.
