The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 772 Caves of the Thousand Buddhas

Chapter 772 Caves of the Thousand Buddhas


“What’s going on?


“Even the tour guide is a pract.i.tioner...”


Li Mu was a little surprised.


Tang Tian stepped forward, presented his ident.i.ty card, and said a few words to the female pract.i.tioner. She looked at Li Mu and the others in surprise, stood up, saluted them very seriously, and then let them through.


After they pa.s.sed through the gate, they soon saw the faintly visible Mogao Caves enveloped in clouds of yellow sand in the distance.


“Is she also a member of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance?” Li Mu asked.


Tang Tian said, “No, she serves in the army. She is responsible for guarding the peripheral areas of the Mogao Caves and persuading irrelevant personnel and ordinary tourists to turn back. Of course, as the world had changed dramatically, there are not many ordinary tourists here. Her main task is to stop the free and easy pract.i.tioners from inadvertently entering this secret realm which is full of danger.”


“How much control does the military have over the Mogao Caves?”


“I don’t think they have much control over this place. At least, they will not forcefully stop those foreign masters of martial arts who want to enter the Mogao Caves. Due to dramatic changes in the world and the continuous expansion of territories, it is difficult for the government to deal with the situation. The military can only protect the safety of important domestic areas and cities and maintain order in other places.”


When Tang Tian talked about these things, he looked angry and sad.


With all the dramatic changes that occurred in the world, the Hero Country had managed to protect and preserve its land and resources thanks to the Hero Martial Arts Alliance’s contributions. However, many soldiers and pract.i.tioners had sacrificed their lives during various battles.


As many famous mountains and great rivers became “sentient”, many ancient powers and clans that had been sealed at the periphery of the chaotic battlefield gradually reappeared.


For example, the Demon Coalition was a power from underground. Its several chairpersons were powerful and mysterious, and their cultivation levels were far beyond the peak of the cultivation world on the Earth. Moreover, they had secret methods for transforming human beings into half-demons and improving their combat capability. For these reasons, the Demon Coalition grew rapidly, and its members disregarded all laws and rules and ran rampant.


It even took down the headquarters of the Hero Martial Arts Alliance.


There were many powers like the Demon Coalition in Hero Country.


That was why the country and the Hero Martial Arts Alliance were in such a difficult situation.


The enemy was too powerful.


After hearing that, Li Mu felt a little depressed.


The situation was worsening faster than he had imagined.


“It seems that I came a little too late here.”


“When I start afresh and restore the broken mountains and rivers... blood will flow like rivers.”


“Oh, how did those foreign pract.i.tioners get here after the dramatic changes in the world and the expansion of territory? Logically speaking, it should take at least several months or half a year for those pract.i.tioners from the Great East Continent and the Wide South Continent to arrive in this country.”


“Consultant Li, don’t you know that Dunhuang is a transfer point?”


“A transfer point?”


“Well, here’s the thing. As the world has changed dramatically, the sky no longer belongs to human beings. Moreover, the earth has undergone more complicated changes. Some places have grown tens of millions of times larger, while some places remained the same. The distance between some areas has been shortened, and some folded s.p.a.ce channels similar to wormholes have appeared, through which people can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant.”


“Do you mean that Dunhuang is located in a folded s.p.a.ce channel?” Li Mu got a rough idea.


Tang Tian said, “No, it’s located in more than ten folded s.p.a.ce channels. At the same time, it is connected with eleven regions, including the Wide South Continent, the Wide North Continent, the Great East Continent, and the White Center Continent, so it’s known as a transfer point. Foreign pract.i.tioners can come to Dunhuang directly through these channels.”


“Woof, it’s a Transmitting Array, right?” The Husky asked.


Li Mu nodded his head.


“It’s a natural Transmitting Array.


“That explains why there are so many foreign pract.i.tioners on the streets in Dunhuang.


“There are probably quite a few transfer points like Dunhuang on the Earth.”


Li Mu speculated that it was highly likely that the remains of some Transmitting Arrays left behind by the Dark Yellow Army were still functional and that Dunhuang should be a small hub of these ancient Transmitting Arrays.


Powerful winds whipped about and yellow sand filled the air and blotted out the sky.


The Mogao Caves were located in the desert at a certain distance from Dunhuang City.


According to what Tang Tian and other disciples said, the secret realm of the Mogao Caves was an extremely dangerous place. It was different from all the other secret realms. Some foreign pract.i.tioners once entered it and came out alive after having gotten secret treasures with infinite power.


It was said that each cave was a small world filled with countless divine treasures. The Mogao Caves, also known as Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, consisted of 735 caves, which meant that there were 735 small worlds.


A little over a month ago, the Mogao Caves were shrouded in yellow sand as strong winds suddenly swept through the place. All the staff and tourists inside the caves were buried alive. Later, the military and the Hero Martial Arts Alliance carried out rescue work and found strange secret realms in there. As the news spread, the pract.i.tioners from various countries came to search for treasures.


Dunhuang was a transfer point with convenient means of transportation. Many pract.i.tioners gathered here all of a sudden, making it difficult for the country and the Hero Martial Arts Alliance to control the situation.


The Mogao Caves had fallen into chaos.


The female pract.i.tioner on duty at the entrance to the scenic spot represented the military of the Hero Country. Her duty was to stop innocent people from inadvertently entering the Mogao Caves and encountering danger. However, she was unable to stop the pract.i.tioners from other countries.


“Consultant Li, shall we go in there directly?” Tang Tian and the other young disciples following Li Mu were a little hesitant when they saw yellow sand all over the sky.


When Li Mu was about to speak, his face suddenly changed. He turned around and looked in the direction of the pavilion at the entrance to the scenic spot.


……


……


“Please behave yourself.”


The female ticket seller stood up and looked coldly at a few white people in front of her.


“Ha-ha, beautiful lady, please don’t get me wrong. I just want to make friends with you.” A young white man with blonde hair and blue eyes and who was nearly 1.9 meters tall smiled languidly and reached out his hand to touch the ticket seller’s beautiful face.


“Get away from me!”


The ticket seller was enraged.


She pulled out a black handgun, raised it, and pointed its muzzle at the young man with blonde hair as she gave off a fierce aura.


“Ha-ha-ha, I know you’re a soldier of the Hero Country.”


The young man burst out laughing.


The several white men behind him were also tall and strong. They were armed and gave off strong auras and looked quite powerful. They all burst into laughter when they saw what happened.


“You look so hot.”


“To be honest, we haven’t had a female soldier of the Hero Country yet.”


“I heard that the Holy Land of martial arts in the Hero Country and the Hero Martial Arts Alliance had been destroyed and many alien secret realms had appeared in the country and gone out of control... Hey, pretty girl, your country is falling. Why don’t you join us?”


The white people scattered and surrounded the female ticket seller.


The ticket seller realized that those people were after her.


“Are you... from the Fierce Tiger Gang?” She asked.


The Fierce Tiger Gang was an organization of martial arts pract.i.tioners which was rising rapidly on the Wide North Continent. It was said that there were G.o.dlike figures supporting the organization. It used brutal methods to expand its reach wantonly and acted in an extremely arrogant and domineering way. It advocated anarchism and liked to go against the government and army.


“Ha-ha, this pretty chick knows it now.”


The white people laughed wildly.


“Beautiful lady, don’t you want to bathe in the river of love with me? I’ll let you experience the joy that the men in the Hero Country can’t give you.” The young man with blonde hair gave off such a strong, oppressive aura that the air around him seemed to solidify.


Bang! Bang! Bang!


The female soldier answered him with bullets.


She fired several shots.


“Ha-ha...” The young man with blonde hair sneered. As he raised his hand, an invisible air wall emerged and blocked all the bullets flying toward him.


He flicked his finger.


Clink! Clink! Clink!


The bullets fell and clinked against the ground.


The female officer’s pupils shrank.


Then, she saw a flash before her eyes.


The young man with blonde hair appeared in front of her. He reached out his hand to grab her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. The invisible force in the air rendered the female soldier helpless, unable to move or avoid the attack.


“G.o.d says that all resistance is futile and glory is in his hands. G.o.d says that everything...” He smiled as he slowly reached out his hand towards the perky b.r.e.a.s.t.s of the motionless female soldier.


Just then, something unexpected suddenly happened.


Hiss!


A beam of white broadsword light ripped through the void.


“Ah...” Blood spurted out. As the white young man screamed in pain, his right arm was cut off by the invisible Broadsword Intent and flew out.
