Alex froze for a brief moment. He was a little uncertain as he asked, âHow long has it been?â
The Mystic Maiden put up three fingers.
âThree days? D*mn!â
Alex immediately became anxious. Since he had not gone out for so long, Daya and the others must
have been overwrought, thinking that he and the Mystic Maiden had died in the dilapidated temple!
Unexpectedly, the Mystic Maiden shook her head. âThatâs not three days!â
âThree hours? Oh, thatâs still fine.â
âHow can it be three hours? Itâs been three years! Youâve been here for three full years!â
Poof!
Alex was completely dumbfounded.
âThree years? Are you sure? Within three years, there would have been many variables in a place like
the Underworld and many dangers in this world. Daya and the others wouldnât have encountered any
dangers, right?â
He jumped up, distressed, and wanted to leave.
Then, he seemed to have remembered something and asked, âHave you ever gone out? Have you
contacted Daya and the others?â
The Mystic Maiden waved her hand as she said, âI couldnât go out.â
âHuh..?â
Alex then learned that the incarnation of the old monk, Revealer Maha, walked into the Buddha body
and never came out again as he immersed himself in the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Chi.
The old monk told the Mystic Maiden that he was the guardian here and could not leave this place.
After he gave the water of Yin-Yang Chi to Alex, the golden Buddha statue was now in some peculiar
state, and there was no way to open the Shoraionji Temple. She could only open the gate and go out
after Alex ended his cultivation.
Alex was stunned.
He was still immersed in the joy of skyrocketing battle power earlier, but he seemed to have received a
bolt from the blue.
âGo! Go! Go! Go right now!â
âItâs been three years! No accidents will occur, right?â
The Mystic Maiden had waited for three years, and her mind had long been calm, so she slowly said,
âTake it easy. Daya Stoermer, Ynes Larkin, and Shirley Hancock are quite powerful and have a lot of
resources in their hands. Before you came in, they managed to survive safely for two years. Now that
they are several times more powerful than before, it shouldnât even be a problem for them.â
Having said that, who could guarantee that no accidents would occur.
Alex glanced at Revealer Maha a few times and sincerely bowed to him. âSir Monk, thank you for giving
me Yin-Yang Chi. Iâll give a bit of my divine power in return!â
He reached out and placed his hand on the golden body, pouring in divine power continuously. That
golden body instantly glowed brilliantly.
Alex heard Revealer Mahaâs voice. âWell done. Well done. Youâre an heir of Ksitigarbha and not an
outsider, so I should help you. I hope you will grow up rapidly to attain bliss early. Amitabha!â
âD*mn!â
Alex shouted strangely, âYouâre trying to ask me to die early!â
âThis bliss is not the other bliss. Go!â
Revealer Maha gently waved his golden palm. Alex and the Mystic Maiden immediately went out the
entrance of the mist filled Shoraionji Temple like riding on clouds.
Thud!
The templeâs dilapidated doors banged shut. It still looked like a small dilapidated temple.
âGo! Letâs head back to the cave and look for them!â Alex said to the Mystic Maiden.
âWait a minute! Look, there are words here!â the Mystic Maiden said as she pointed at the ground.
