Chapter 546: Maitreya

Chapter 546: Milé

Xu Qing stood on the deck, looking at the giant statues in the distance. The statues were ancient, towering, and exuded an aura of solemnity and reverence. It was as if the figures depicted were gods or celestial beings. They were positioned along the coastline, seemingly guarding the land behind them.

The island was also massive, lush with vegetation, and enveloped in a thick mist that partially obscured its features. However, Xu Qing could still discern some buildings within the mist – structures that hinted at a long history and perhaps a hidden power.

The ship he was on was one of many sailing towards the island. The other vessels varied in size and design, each carrying individuals or groups presumably drawn by the island's allure or purpose. The atmosphere on the water was a mix of anticipation and caution, as if everyone knew they were approaching a significant place.

As they drew closer, the details of the statues became clearer. They were incredibly detailed, depicting figures in various poses, some serene, others commanding. Their faces, though weathered by time, still conveyed a sense of profound wisdom and power.

The island itself seemed to hum with a subtle energy, a feeling that permeated the air and even the water. It was an energy that felt both ancient and alive, as if the island itself was a living entity.

Xu Qing remained still, observing everything with his usual calm demeanor. His eyes scanned the horizon, taking in the statues, the island, and the other ships. He was here for a reason, a reason that was yet to fully unfold, but he was ready for whatever awaited him on this mysterious island guarded by giants.
