487: Who is Lord Horse?

"...The upper Soul world has three gates. The first gate from the outside is to prevent anyone from forcing their way in; I can help you open this one. The second gate is a partition using a steam wall. The equipment inside is not dangerous, but once someone attempts to force their way in, it will forcibly push them out using steam! As for the third gate..."

Tang Ku stood outside the so-called third gate, unable to help but scratch his head.

At this moment, he was already in the state of his Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body. More than half an hour had passed since their conversation with Watt.

The so-called gate before his eyes was actually a vast grassland!

That's right, blue sky and white clouds. On the distant hillside, lavender and canola flowers complemented each other perfectly. If those influencers came here, they would definitely be overjoyed; what great scenery for a photoshoot this is!

"...The third gate, actually, I can't really explain it. This gate should have appeared autonomously after I built the Reincarnation Tower. Its main purpose is to protect the Souls inside from being disturbed by external energy or similar things. But how to find the real entrance, I don't know, because I don't have the ability for Soul Emergence, so I've never tried it!"

Tang Ku sighed helplessly: "Watt, this guy, is just like that guy from Xituo Country—a Genius. Just by designing such a tall tower, he could create something so mystical... Hmm, this place should be a combination of illusion and reality, just like a person's Sea of Consciousness. It belongs to an independent space with independent rules... So, as for the gate..."

Looking around, Tang Ku gave a helpless bitter smile: "It seems I still have to use the old method to break it!"

He flew up into the sky. Although he was in the state of a Soul, all his abilities could be attached to his Soul, just as they were in the outside world. This was one of the benefits brought by the System.

Because generally speaking, the strength of a Soul is related to a person's Mental Energy, but Tang Ku was born with powerful Mental Energy and had been baptized by the Buddha Dharma, so his Soul itself was very strong. Furthermore, all the abilities brought by the System were engraved deep within his Soul.

Not to mention that he was only in a state of Soul Emergence right now; even if he were to be Reincarnated again, these abilities would accompany his Soul into the womb. And because of his powerful Mental Energy, he would have his own consciousness even right after birth!

"Great Wilderness Divine Fist... Bury the Earth!"

Hum! Aiming at the grassland, Tang Ku crashed down from mid-air and smashed his fist heavily onto the ground!

Boom! A powerful force spread instantly. The entire space seemed to be constantly shaking, and then it became covered in dark clouds with thunder and lightning. The entire space instantly changed its appearance. In the gloomy weather, visibility became less than five meters, and a terrifying, violent storm instantly swept Tang Ku's Soul into it.

When there are no conditions, create conditions; when there is no opportunity, create an opportunity. Seeking change within constancy is a principle Tang Ku has always followed. Because when you cannot find a clue using wisdom, causing constant matter to change is the best way to break the situation.

Tang Ku's Soul was almost completely out of control. After being swept away by the gale, it took a long time before he fell from the sky. But when he opened his eyes again, Tang Ku discovered that he seemed to have arrived at a familiar place.

Mountains rose one after another, beautiful and spiritual, with clouds drifting by. In the mountains, there seemed to be the chirping of birds, and the tinkling sound of spring water was endless.

And besides that, there was even the sound of rushing water coming to his ears.

"How do I seem to have seen this kind of scene somewhere before?"

Tang Ku brushed his sleeves and suddenly laughed, "Isn't this Flower-Fruit Mountain? TV shows and cartoons have all shown it; this place really fits the setting of Flower-Fruit Mountain..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of gongs and drums suddenly rang out. Immediately after, red flags fluttered on the mountain, and a large group of monkey descendants and a group of demons and monsters holding weapons swarmed down, surrounding Tang Ku, all the while shouting something incessantly.

Tang Ku was confused, when directly in front of him, a white-haired Gibbon appeared.

This ape walked upright, was strong and sturdy, and held a steel blade. It looked Tang Ku up and down for a long while, then suddenly laughed and said: "Another new Soul? Let's go, I'll take you to see our King!"

Combining Spiritual Awareness Microscopic with the Spiritual Awareness Eye, Tang Ku could tell at a glance that these apes, or monsters, did not look like this in their original appearance.

Their true forms were all those of ordinary humans, but they had been forcibly transformed into this appearance by someone.

Tang Ku smiled slightly and said nothing more. Like a qualified prisoner, he followed this upright-walking ape toward the waterfall on the mountain. He already had some guesses in his heart, but before seeing the main person in charge, he could not act rashly.

Sure enough, the huge waterfall was hooked open from both sides by the monkeys like a door curtain, just like the plot in the cartoon "Havoc in Heaven". After following these monsters and monkeys inside, he soon saw the familiar stone tablet.

"Flower-Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Paradise... Hehe, it really is here!"

Tang Ku muttered to himself. Soon, he followed them to a stone throne. He saw that familiar figure lying on the throne, hugging a wine gourd and drinking happily. Tang Ku's nose felt sour. Before he could speak, he heard the guy on the throne sitting there comfortably with his legs crossed, saying: "That new Soul down there doesn't know the rules. Don't you know that you need to kneel to pay respects to the King? Really, does Old Sun need to teach you this?"

Tang Ku's mouth twitched immediately, and he held his breath and said: "Since I came out of my mother's womb, Poor Monk has knelt to Heaven and Earth, knelt to the sovereign and father, knelt to my parents, knelt to the Buddha... But I have never knelt to a hairy monkey!"

The monkey on the throne laughed loudly, not even turning his head, and said: "What an arrogant Soul. Fine... Number Six, teach him a lesson, let him know what the Horse King's three eyes are!"

The white-haired Gibbon scratched his head and said: "King, what is a Horse King? Why does he have three eyes? Isn't that a deformity?"

The Monkey King laughed and scolded: "Where did you get so much nonsense? Just do him if I tell you to do him. Don't make this King have to do it himself, or I'll deal with you together!"

The Gibbon had no choice but to turn to Tang Ku and say: "Blame your bad luck, who told you to anger the King... Monk, take this... Bang... Ah!"

The Gibbon flew out entirely, smashing heavily against the wall in front, rolling his eyes and twitching.

"Hehe, damn Bima Wen, your Master has come to find you, and you're putting on such airs? It really was a waste of my years of teaching you!"

Tang Ku looked at the monkey in front of him with a dangerous expression, saying in a tone of hating iron for not becoming steel.
