Mountain and Sea Realm, Qingshi Town, the weather was clear.
A gentle breeze blew by.
"Ah, that was such a great sleep!"
Miss Feng Ling, who had slept soundly, stretched towards the sun, revealing her youthful figure in full.
Of course, in the eerie place of Mountain and Sea Realm, she dared not wear T-shirts or shorts but opted for a wide outfit called "broad-sleeved robe" to fully cover her body.
"It’s been a long ti since I’ve slept this well."
"Even coming to the Mountain and Sea Realm doesn’t an I always have to work overti without any extra pay."
"Hmm?" She suddenly felt a faint warmth, turned her head back, and was shocked to see the "mummy" lying on the hospital bed starting to move, emitting a faint golden light!!
The forrly bright red muscle tissue was regenerating skin at a visible rate.
She could faintly hear an inexplicable, bizarre chanting sound.
"He’s awake? And he can regenerate himself!"
Feng Ling quickly ran out the door, calling her companions, "He’s awake, that monk woke up!"
...
Half an hour later, a group of people gathered in the dical room, observing the "man-beast" radiating golden light.
This was really big news!
The patient they had been caring for a month had finally woken up, adding a touch of unknown possibility to the routine pioneering life. It had really been too calm lately, without any challenge.
But everyone had to be cautious, now that the most capable fighter, Lu Tianming, and Li Qingshan with his "Infinite Resurrection," were away in the city apprenticing, it would be troubleso if sothing really happened.
Everyone was extrely careful, afraid that a small accident could cost them their lives.
"This person is a monk, not so cow demon or snake god, there’s no need to worry too much," Pan Hao swallowed and curiously said, "How can it feel like he is regenerating? His limbs are growing back?"
"Is this monk that powerful?"
The slow movent of the wound was truly bizarre.
Humans had lost the ability to regenerate limbs during the course of evolution; the present golden light must definitely be so kind of supernatural ability.
A Special Forces soldier said, "I heard from the captured Water Ghost Pirates that this man is a renowned great monk with the ability to exorcise demons. But his exact identity, even their boss, Niu Sanda, kept tight-lipped and did not reveal."
Pan Hao curiously asked, "If he has the ability to banish demons, why did he turn into a man-beast? Did he provoke so powerful enemy? If that enemy cos after us, we might not be able to withstand them."
Feng Ling said, "What else can we do? If worst cos to worst, call forth the great regenerative mother and fight. This place is still under the domain of the Ga, with the likes of Emperor of Heaven protecting us. They can’t just watch us get annihilated."
Facing this small, possible crisis, everyone started joking and teasing each other instead.
With the successful developnt of Qingshi Town underway, everyone was in good spirits, after all, they had people in high places!
After a while longer, number 24 of the Black-clothed Guard, along with so soldiers, walked into the room.
With number 12 Lu Tianming gone, number 24 was effectively the Supre Commander here—although, most of the decisions were still made through discussing at etings.
Number 24 saw the golden light, furrowed his brows, and pulled a dried rose from his backpack. This product from the Rose Cross Society was effective in detecting supernatural phenona hostile to humans.
The rose showed no change under the golden light.
He then instructed, "Xiao Guo, go see if there is any danger."
"Yes!"
A Special Soldier with premonition abilities, gathered his courage and stepped forward.
In this eerie place devoid of high-tech tools, they could only rely on the human body to judge.
He reached out a hand and touched the faint golden light.
The soldier, with his eyes closed, said, "I don’t sense any great danger, it feels like the warmth of sunlight. But there’s a strange sound like monk chanting in my mind, almost like it’s his steadfast belief."
"What sound?" Number 24 asked.
"Developing productive forces... He keeps repeating ’develop productive forces’ and has developed a fervent belief. I’m not sure if it’s just my impression," the soldier rubbed the back of his head, sowhat confused.
A native from Mountain and Sea Realm constantly muttering "Develop productive forces!"
Even Number 24 felt puzzled, myriad speculations bubbling up like bubbles. Could this guy be a transmigrator? The so-called Child of Destiny?
If a transmigrator, his situation was too bleak, with limbs and facial features ruined, even regeneration couldn’t withstand such tornt.
Or is it so plot by the Demon God cloaked in the Ga?
These guesses kept coming one after another, unable to rule out incorrect options.
"I just rembered sothing," Pan Hao clapped his hands, appearing contemplative, "I heard from the local Scholar, Ding Zhijing, that monks, as a profession, are quite respected in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"Because monks generally co from the Jiuhua Mountain lineage, which once was this world’s largest True God’s domain."
"This rumor, I’ve also heard a bit about it," Number 24 said, "It’s said that Ksitigarbha faced a joint onslaught from nurous Evil Gods and ultimately... disappeared fifty years ago. With the backing gone, monks as a profession gradually dwindled away."
