Chapter 316 The Celestial Monkeys Temple

Chapter 316 The Celestial Monkeys Temple

"This is the main temple of the celestial monkeys and where the vault is located," Commander Lolan informs me as I stand in front of the temple, looking at its structure.

It's a huge dome-shaped building made from fine marble rocks. Apart from this, there's no notable detail about the temple except the huge metallic pole that's protruding from the center of the dome-shaped top.

"Prince Jake," a voice suddenly startles me. Turning my head, I see the prime minister of the celestial monkeys. "Good to have you here... And congratulations for your win. But I want you to know that the emperor didn't fight at his full power because of the cheat you us-"

"Shut the fuck up, man. Just shut the fuck up before I smack your ass like your emperor. You didn't talk about the venom your emperor tried to use on me. Wasn't that a cheat, or do you want me to smack your ass?" I ask with a crazed expression, my eyes widening as if it wants to devour the prime minister.

The prime minister doesn't say anything as I can see sweat forming on his face while gritting his teeth.

"Just take me to the fucking vault before I get pissed off and destroy this whole place," I say still putting on my crazed expression.

"L-Let's go. No, follow me please," The prime minister stutters as he gestures with his hand for me to follow him. Looking at his footsteps, I see his legs wobbling.

"Such a pussy," I mutter and start following the prime minister with Commander Lolan behind me as we enter the main entrance of the temple.

As we enter the entrance of the temple, I get awed by the scene in front of me as it's something that I would only see once in a while.

There are many celestial monks inside the temple walking around with trays while some are burning incenses in strange silver pots filled with tiny holes. The floor of the temple is covered with shiny marbles and many artifacts are hung on the wall, most likely made with gold.

Walking forward, we reach the front of a very big statue, towering to the ceiling of the temple. This statue is of a man wearing a crown on his head and his hands clasped together. Unconsciously, I stop in front of this statue, a smile forming on my face.

Seeing me stop, the prime minister stops walking and turns around to look at me. But he doesn't say anything and simply stands in position. Commander Lolan, on the other hand, walks closer to me.

"That's Buddha, the god we celestial monkeys serve. He is one of the strongest gods....." Commander Lolan continues talking, but I am not listening to all he's saying. Only one thought is on my mind.

"So... You mean that perverted prick is your god?" I ask again without any expression on my face.

"Huh..."

"Kekekekeke!!!" I start laughing mischievously, causing Commander Lolan to be confused.

"I see... I see... I guess he's a god after all, so it's not far-fetched if he has some followers," I mutter.

Buddha, a supreme god whose order remains unknown till date. I have met with him in the past, and to be honest, he is pretty strong. Though I didn't get to see him fight at his full strength because he was pretty hesitant and seemed to be in haste.

However, he is the owner of the ability named; hands of Buddha. The type of ability that Carter used. There's still a lot about abilities that I don't quite understand. Most abilities are related to gods, beasts, and ancient races such as the Valkyries. I don't know what the damn gods are up to.

Clicking my tongue, I signal to the prime minister to continue walking, and he doesn't hesitate.

Walking a few meters, we reach a passage with several celestial monks standing left and right as if guarding this particular place. And the aura emanating from them is the fourth stage of Ki.

All these guys are radiating with the fourth stage of Ki. I pity the intruder who's going to try to infiltrate this place. But one thing I know is that Buddha might have some crazy amount of Ki reserve.

Abruptly, a bald celestial monkey emperor appears in front of us with two bald celestial monkeys behind him. He is holding a long golden staff that the top seems to be shaped like a cup while some sort of beads run around the edges.

"Good day, Balak," The prime minister greets the strange man with a small bow, but the bald celestial monkey doesn't give a bow in return and strangely nods his head.

"What brings you here?" Balak asks.

"You are aware of the situation. Why are you still asking me?" The prime minister mutters, his teeth clenched.

Without saying anything, Balak looks at me from top to bottom.

"I am the chief priest of this temple. Show some respect because I am the first follower of Buddha," The priest says with a cocky expression.

"Are you going to take me to the vault or you wanna get your ass whooped?" I ask, the devilish expression appearing on my face once again.

"L-Let's go..." The priest stutters, and for some reason, his eyes get teary as if he's about to cry.

Huh... did I scare him too much? I guess being a vampire has its perks, fufu.

[Balak's POV] n-.o.)v/-E.)L/.B-/I(-n

Seeing the demon in front of me with his glowing red eyes and fangs that look as if they want to suck my blood, the urge to shit overwhelms.

Holy fuck... Who is this guy? He scared the fuck out of me, one of the strongest celestial monkeys. No wonder the emperor lost against him.
