Chapter 512: Chapter 394: Pursuit and Exploration

Boom!

The entire sedan continuously cracked, burst, and shattered. Under the impact of immense force, it disintegrated inch by inch until it turned into countless fragments, shooting out in all directions like bullets.

And Bao Shan’s palm had already fiercely reached for Zhao Ping’s head, as if he wanted to grab him like a little chicken.

But just as his hand stretched out, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Without time to think, he abruptly generated a gust of wind, retreating several dozens of meters backward in an instant.

As he retreated, the spot where he had been seemed to be slashed by countless invisible blades, leaving behind deep sword marks in the ground.

"Do not linger in battle," Zhao Wanxi’s voice came from the cellphone, "Retreat quickly."

Zhao Ping, controlling dozens of sword threads sweeping out, not only forced Bao Shan back, but he had also jumped into the sewer opened by the sword threads, completely disappearing into the darkness.

Watching the direction Zhao Ping had vanished, Bao Shan looked at the minor wound on his fingertip and suddenly laughed, "Actually managed to break through my Gang Qi? Such an interesting move."

"But you really think you can escape?"

If the perspective were raised, one would see more and more vehicles and figures converging toward Bao Shan’s location and systematically sealing off the surrounding roads.

...

Moon.

Du Kong stood before a massive stone door, beside him a Mechanical Buddha emitting a soft glow.

Upon discovering this immortal gate standing on the surface of the Moon, Du Kong had conducted various explorations in the vicinity.

First, after inspection, he found that the gate was constructed on-site, using the nearby lunar soil.

Second, from the other side of the gate, a mixture of evil aura and spiritual breath continuously surged out, evidently the immortal gate leading to the Mirror World.

And during the days of Du Kong’s investigation, the third batch of explorers had also arrived, bringing with him the Mechanical Buddha beside him.

At this moment, this Mechanical Buddha, over one meter tall and connected to a long cable, stood in front of the stone door with Du Kong.

Although based on his experience and the findings of the past few days, Du Kong was quite sure that the stone door in front of him was an immortal gate.

But in this incredibly dangerous battlefield, he dared not be negligent or careless, of course, he would not venture through without knowing what lay on the other side.

He clasped his hands together toward the Mechanical Buddha, bowing respectfully, "Esteemed one, please deploy your mana and Divine Skills to scout the path ahead."

The Mechanical Buddha laughed heartily, striding toward the immortal gate: "My Buddha is merciful, relieving the suffering of the world..."

As the chants of the Buddha Sound, rising and falling melodically, echoed through the communication network of the exploration team, the Mechanical Buddha had already stepped into the immortal gate and completely vanished from sight.

Du Kong waited anxiously outside the door, his mind inevitably filled with speculations about what was on the other side of the immortal gate.

He also knew that it wasn’t just him and the other members of the exploration team who were concerned about the outcomes here.

Far away on Earth, the Great Bright Buddha was also constantly monitoring the battlefield analysis here.

But as Du Kong waited for a long time, watching the cable beneath his feet being dragged into that immortal gate until it became taut and strained, he grew puzzled, "How much time has passed?"

Hui Ling consoled, "28 minutes, don’t worry elder brother, the Moonlight Buddha uses the latest energy storage technology, even if the connection is severed, the internal Buddha power should be sufficient to run for more than 72 hours..."

Just then, the Mechanical Buddha’s figure reappeared, stepping back through the immortal gate to their side.

Du Kong hastily asked, "Esteemed one, what’s the situation on the other side of the gate?"

The light-emitting components in the Mechanical Buddha’s eyes flickered as it replied matter-of-factly, "I have transmitted what I witnessed to your screens, go and see for yourselves."

Du Kong, Hui Ling, and the others immediately noticed a video file had been sent over, and they quickly clicked to play it.

It was an endless black sky and a white landscape below.

"The moon... Is the other side of the immortal gate also the moon?"

"Is it the moon of the Mirror World?"

Du Kong muttered, "The Battle of the Moon, it’s not just a fight on this moon, they actually fought on another moon too?"

As more questions arose in Du Kong’s mind, Hui Ling, looking at the total duration of the video, asked in confusion, "Esteemed one, why is the video only 3 minutes and 5 seconds? What about the remaining twenty-something minutes?"

The Moonlight Buddha as if it were a matter of course said, "I only went for three minutes in total, where are the remaining twenty-something minutes?"

However, as it said this, the now reconnected Moonlight Buddha immediately noticed something was amiss upon synchronizing time with the network and the spacecraft.

"Hmm? It’s been 28 minutes? But I clearly only spent 3 minutes on the other side."

The Moonlight Buddha began to review all the videos, images, and audio recordings it had made on the opposite side of the door, analyzing, "Perhaps... all these phenomena are inseparably related to the Battle of the Moon. Some kind of force left behind by both sides in the great battle is still affecting this world to this moment."

While Du Kong continued to watch the video content, he saw the perspective of the Moonlight Buddha shift slightly, revealing a figure on the white landscape.

Du Kong’s heart jolted, "There’s someone on the Mirror World’s moon?"

...

East Sea City.

A Spirit Cave.

Tao Shan was a soldier stationed by New Country at this Spirit Cave, having been in charge of guarding this place for two and a half years.

The novelty he initially felt from encountering the various exotic customs of East Sea City had gradually faded.

Instead, the tedium of guarding the Spirit Cave day after day grew more pronounced, especially since the location of this Spirit Cave, both in the real world and in the Mirror World, was in a rather remote corner.

This lead to the Spirit Cave being sealed by New Country on both ends, making it far quieter compared to those bustling Spirit Caves that served as major thoroughfares for commerce, swallowing large numbers of caravans and goods daily.

In the two years he had been guarding it, Tao Shan hadn’t encountered a single person crossing between the two worlds through this Spirit Cave.

However, the Spirit Cave was not only a thoroughfare but also a sacred site for cultivation, rich in spiritual essence.

In this era where everyone practiced cultivation, many were willing to pay a great deal to cultivate near a Spirit Cave.

When Tao Shan first arrived here, secretly bringing people close to the Spirit Cave for cultivation had already become a well-established industry among the soldiers of New Country.

And today, just as usual, Tao Shan and two other colleagues were bringing people in.

"Did you hear about the commotion at those several Spirit Caves in the city center these past few days?"

"I know, it’s to catch Zhao Ping, right? The Divine Hidden Camp making a big scene capturing people, damned impressive."

"Alas, if only I could join the Divine Hidden Camp..."

While the men chatted, Tao Shan suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Why is there someone sitting over there?"
