Chapter 323

"That is the Statue of the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God?!"

Before long, she followed Thoma to the vicinity of the Tenryou Commission headquarters.

Amidst the serious atmosphere of a group of Tenryou Commission guards, Lumine saw a huge statue from afar, and Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

It was ten zhang tall, in a sitting posture, with both hands resting on its knees, eyes closed tightly, covered with a cloak, and wings growing on its back.

Dozens of Visions were shining brightly on it, in all kinds of colors.

Due to the guards, ordinary people were not allowed to approach the statue at all.

Even Thoma could only bring Lumine to within ten meters.

After all, they were precious Visions; how could others be allowed to approach? If they were stolen, wouldn't it smear the Shogun's reputation?

However, just as she approached the statue to within about ten meters, Lumine suddenly frowned, and voices of other people appeared in her mind, holding her head and showing a slightly strange expression.

Unintentionally seeing her ugly expression, Paimon immediately asked anxiously: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Thoma also discovered that something was wrong and cast a caring look over.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy all of a sudden."

Those voices came quickly and went quickly.

In just a few seconds, the voices ringing in Lumine's mind disappeared completely.

Confirming that her expression quickly returned to normal, Paimon and Thoma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since the Traveler is not feeling well, let's go to the Kamisato Estate to see the young lady first, and take a rest by the way. Maybe it's because you're tired from the journey."

Thoma's suggestion was agreed to by Paimon immediately.

"Okay, okay, let's go first. It's too serious and eerie here."

"Hmm."

Before leaving with Thoma, Lumine finally turned her head to stare at the statue.

She was a little suspicious in her heart; those voices just now seemed to be the wishes contained in the Visions embedded on the statue.

…………

Ritou!

Passing by Miss Ryoko's stall again, Hearing Luo Li was enthusiastically solicited by her. She heard that she had researched a new dish and hoped he could taste it.

Watching the teacher being greeted enthusiastically by women again, Mitsuyo seemed to recall the past once more.

It was the same in the past; there would always be strange women fascinated by him.

"Presumably Lumine and Paimon have already arrived in Inazuma City."

Staring at the magnificent city looming in the distance, Hearing Luo Li felt that he should also set off for Seirai Island.

Once Lumine meets Kamisato Ayaka and is persuaded by her, everything that follows will proceed along the destined path.

However, there was still a long time before Thoma would be captured, and he had enough preparation time.

"Is the teacher leaving later?"

Mitsuyo, who had stabilized her emotions, no longer worried about gains and losses and began to face reality squarely.

Since she couldn't persuade the teacher, she would just wait for him obediently.

"Hmm, I will return soon."

"I wish the teacher a smooth journey."

Before leaving, the cold and elegant woman took the initiative to offer a goodbye kiss.

After Hearing Luo Li temporarily bid farewell to Mitsuyo, he set off on the journey to Seirai Island alone.

He did not set foot on the land of Narukami Island. By summoning the Waverider from the waypoint on Ritou, he decided to reach Seirai Island along the route by Amakane Island.

This mysterious device was only available near water areas.

Traveling on the sea, when passing Narukami Island, Hearing Luo Li could clearly see the outline of the Tenshukaku located at the top of Narukami Island.

The high-ranking palace complex carried the supreme majesty of looking down on all living beings.

Apart from nobility, only a cold aura lingered.

It wasn't until the outline belonging to Narukami Island was about to disappear at the end of the sea that Hearing Luo Li withdrew his gaze and cast it toward the place he was going to.

Above Seirai Island, which was not far in area from Narukami Island, clouds surrounded by thunder were rotating.

The rolling clouds were like a vortex, illuminated by purple lightning, and there were many small floating islands among them.

If Narukami Island was still dotted with Sakura and green grass, then Seirai Island was completely a purple world.

The thunder that pierced through ancient and modern times vibrated in the high sky, and from time to time, ferocious and terrifying lightning would descend from the sky, striking somewhere on the island.

"Sure enough, the lingering resentment of the Thunder Bird has been unsealed."

When the Waverider docked and Hearing Luo Li stepped onto the land of Seirai Island, he stared at all this, and there was also the unique aura of elemental creatures circulating throughout the island.

Besides that, the pulse of the earth became exceptionally clear and violent.

As if rolling blood was passing through the pulse, Hearing Luo Li clearly perceived that the power of the ley lines was born endlessly beneath the island and entered a cycle.

·· ·Seeking flowers····· ····

It was just strange that a small part of the ley line power seemed to be attracted, cutting off a small tributary and staying somewhere on the island.

"This familiar rhythm is indeed the sealing technique I taught."

Hearing Luo Li would never recognize it wrong; his technique was as eye-catching as ink stains on white paper.

"And the direction in which the ley line tributary flows is over there."

Casting his gaze to the southwest of Seirai Island, Hearing Luo Li perceived it exceptionally clearly. There, it was as if there was a gluttonous giant mouth, swallowing all the stolen ley line power.

After sensing it carefully for a moment, he set off along the main road toward the southwest.

Halfway there, he didn't encounter a single person on the road, only dull thunder resounding through the sky.

Until a long-abandoned village appeared ahead.

Through the blurred stone tablet standing outside the village, one could know that the village was named "Koseki Village."

Hearing Luo Li glanced at it casually and couldn't find any sign of human life at all.

That made sense; with lightning striking anytime and anywhere in the sky, who would dare to live here?

Maybe they would be struck to death by a bolt of thunder in their sleep.

Over time, fewer and fewer people lived on Seirai Island, and until now, it was difficult to find residents on the island.

Those who still dared to stay here mostly knew how to deal with thunder.

However, unexpectedly, after Hearing Luo Li passed through Koseki Village, he actually found some messy human traces ahead.

And above the sea surface of Seiraimaru, cargo ships were floating.

Some people wearing light armor were moving something onto them.

"This is... the Resistance?"

The military uniform, which was completely different from the Shogunate army, allowed Hearing Luo Li to identify their identity at a glance.

The next moment, they poured the bags on the cart onto the cargo ship, and the things inside were instantly exposed.

"So it's ore."

Hearing Luo Li suddenly realized. Although Watatsumi Island was rich in products, the ore content was really not much.
