Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The Giant God Peak towers into the clouds, and the 8th floor is above the sea of ​​clouds.

For some reason, the magic power here is unusually abundant. If you meditate and practice here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also where many of the League's demigods reside. Demigods who aren't often at Targon Peak, like Karthus, LeBlanc, Volibear, and Nasus, the Desert Reaper, each have their own residence on the 8th floor. Soraka's residence consists of multiple milky white tents strung together to form a hexagram, with most of them featuring transparent roofs. Unfortunately, the night sky over Crimson Star is now hazy, with not a single star visible.

It is said that Xiaobai can also live on the 8th floor, but he has not had time to apply at the alliance headquarters.

When Soraka heard that Brook and Xiaobai were going to see Ksitigarbha, she happily went with them.

"Although His Majesty Ksitigarbha is a demigod, he is in charge of many sects such as Woma, Zuma, Bull Demon, Crimson Moon, Yellow Spring, Demon Dragon, Fire Dragon, Qingqiu, Snow Region, and Stone Plain. His status is transcendent and he can even be on par with several true gods. When you see him later, you must give him enough respect." Soraka said.

Brooke didn't comment, but asked:

"Soraka, do you know what the Sky Tower is?"

"That's a special structure that can be moved vertically upwards and downwards, specially developed by His Majesty Ksitigarbha in order to project the Red Star Monster onto the Marfa Continent.

"...Why do you want to project the monsters to the Marfa continent?" Brook's tone was a little cold, and his eyes became sharp.

"This is His Majesty Ksitigarbha's plan... I know you're a Marfa monk, and you'll definitely be dissatisfied. But His Majesty Ksitigarbha has his own reasons for doing this... When you meet His Majesty Ksitigarbha, he'll explain it to you."

"Okay. Let me see how he explains it!"

"His Majesty Ksitigarbha's power is unfathomable, so you must not act recklessly." Soraka reminded.

"understood."

The three of them walked eastward along the circular path. Before long, they discovered that the entire path ahead was blocked by a towering barrier. The only entrance was guarded by a group of Zuma guards.

Soraka led the way.

"Commander, please inform Soraka, the newly promoted hero Netherworld Arbitrator Xiaobai, and this monk Brook from the Marfa continent, that they wish to see His Majesty Ksitigarbha."

The leader of the rank 8 Zuma Guards didn't look at Soraka and Xiaobai. He looked Brook up and down without blinking. After a moment, he said:

"His Majesty Ksitigarbha is waiting for you, please come in."

"...Shouldn't we inform them?"

"Half a day ago, His Majesty Ksitigarbha informed us that if this human cultivator Brooke came, we should not stop him and should let him pass."

"...Thank you very much, Commander!"

"You are welcome, Your Highness Sokala. Please follow me."

The three followed the leader of the Zuma guards into a dark passage. After walking along the direction of the barrier for several minutes, a faint light appeared in front of them. When they walked out, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

A vast expanse of deep blue and purple light shot out from the side of the Giant God's Peak, like a flash of light in a movie! The light source wasn't particularly bright, but it was immense!

Brook and Xiaobai saw such a scene for the first time and couldn't help but stop.

Upon closer inspection, the faint blue-purple light was actually emitted by countless energy gems. They were arranged in an orderly fashion, seemingly forming some strange formation, or like a giant map, which looked familiar. Unfortunately, the energy gems on the mountain wall were too numerous and the area was too large. Standing here, I could only see the tip of the iceberg, and I couldn't see the whole pattern.

"Brook, look!" Xiaobai exclaimed, pointing in the direction of the light.

Brook turned his head and his pupils shrank!

I saw countless monsters suspended in the air! Scarecrows, cats with rakes, cats with hooks, toads, orcs, forest snowmen, poisonous spiders, and carnivorous plants... Some of them remained motionless, while others moved slowly up and down, side to side, and seemed to be moving as if they were on flat ground even though they were in the air!

Is this a tower in the sky? Is this the Red Star projection? Is this how Red Star projects monsters onto the Marfa continent?!

These are low-level monsters that can be seen in the Biqi Province of the Marfa Continent...

Beach Province...

Brooke turned around suddenly and looked at the pattern on the mountain wall again! That's right, this is the topographic map of the westernmost part of Biqi Province!

That's it!

Each energy gem on the mountain wall represents a coordinate location on the Marfa continent! When the energy gem's light shines on the monster, it can project the monster onto the Marfa continent!

If that's true, how many energy gems are embedded in this mountain wall?! Probably more than a million!

"How about you guys wait and see it later? Let's go see His Majesty Ksitigarbha first." The leader of the Zuma guards waited for a while and finally couldn't help but urge.

Brook nodded and continued to follow the other party forward.

Walking along the mountain wall, dozens of yards above his head were densely packed energy gems. Brook suddenly had an idea: if he jumped high at this moment, would his projection appear in the Biqi Province of the Marfa Continent?

If we take down these energy gems on the mountain wall, or kill all the monsters on the distant sky tower, will the monsters on the Marfa continent also disappear?

Although I thought about it, I didn't do it.

The most important thing now wasn't to destroy the projection, but to find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and ask him clearly: Why did he go to such great lengths and spend such a huge amount of money to project the monster onto the Marfa continent?!

After walking for another 10 minutes, a large hall appeared at the foot of the mountain. In front of the hall was a wide square where many monsters and beasts gathered, including corpse kings, skeleton elves, white wild boars, evil venomous snakes, dragon-touching gods, Wo Ma leaders, Zu Ma leaders, red moon demons, and dragon leaders.

"Did you gain anything today?" asked the Demon Dragon Leader.

"No." Several corpse kings shook their heads.

Other skeleton elves, white wild boars, evil poisonous snakes, etc. also shook their heads.

"I haven't shipped anything for two months." said the Zuma leader.

"You are only 2 months old, and I am half a year old! How about you, Chiyue?" said the WoMa leader.

"Don't mention it! Today one of my men dug up a protective ring. It was just handed to me and before I could even warm it up, a group of warriors from another world rushed in and blew it up!" said the Red Moon Demon angrily.

"Tsk tsk~ You should have your men secretly transport it out in time. Why did they have to send it to you?" Zuma leader said regretfully.

"Nonsense, shouldn't your men show it to you first when they find the artifact? I was so angry at that time. It was a pity that the projection was too weak, and I could only watch the artifact explode!" The Red Moon Demon was very angry.

"I'm the same as you. Several years ago, I got a paralysis ring. In order to send it out secretly, I let a cave maggot swallow the ring into its stomach, so that it would not explode even if it died. I was careful enough, right? But the cave maggot was killed before it even walked out of the second floor of the orc tomb. It was killed, but the ring in its stomach was dug out! Isn't that infuriating?" A skeleton elf said angrily.

"Forget it, we have experienced this kind of thing before, calm down." The Woma leader comforted.

"That's right, why bring it up again when it happened so many years ago? Let's go~ Refresh time is almost here, guys, let's go!"

A group of corpse kings, skeleton elves, and white wild boars stood up and walked towards the sky platform in front.

The remaining Evil Vipers, WoMa Cult Leader, ZuMa Cult Leader, Red Moon Demon and others had not refreshed yet and continued to gossip.

"Now the cultivators in Marfa Continent are becoming stronger and stronger, but the strength of our projections has not increased. It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain artifacts."

"Your Highness Ksitigarbha, shouldn't you increase the power of our projection?"

"How easy is that! The Marfa Continent is so far away. Every time the projection power increases, the energy gems will be consumed exponentially. Most of the energy gems on the Red Star have been used for projection. Your Highness is already under great pressure."

"Your Highness has done experiments before. You've forgotten that the Red Moon Demon doubled its strength for a period of time, but the harvest was no better. In fact, the most important factor in whether or not you can obtain a divine artifact is not strength, but luck!"

"That's right! Haven't you noticed that there are more and more Marfa continents? The monks in the newly appeared Marfa continents are often very weak. At least for a long time, they are no match for our projections. So as long as we work harder, we can still continue to obtain artifacts!"

At this moment, Soraka, Brook, and their group approached. The other monster leaders stopped talking and looked over curiously.

Of course they knew Soraka; Xiaobai was a new hero, and the monsters saw him for the first time, so they couldn't help but take a few more glances at him; but Brook was a human. These monsters had been projecting and wandering around the Marfa continent for years, and they could tell at a glance that Brook was not a human from the Red Star, but a human monk from the Marfa continent. Their eyes widened immediately.

A Marfa monk came to Red Star? !

There is actually such a thing?!

Under the watchful eyes of the monster leaders, Brook and his group crossed the square and entered the hall.
