The instant the stone door was pushed open, Buddha's light indeed shone upon Ye Tian's face. But after entering, he discovered that it was merely an ordinary hall, looking no different from a typical Buddhist shrine.
Yet for such a Buddhist hall to appear here, at this time and in this place, was anything but ordinary.
The hall itself was not particularly spacious. A statue of a Bodhisattva stood in the center, with a strange beast crouching beneath its feet.
