Chapter 1231 Inviting Jian Guangming
Chen Chuan and the federal officer followed the priest up a distance and soon passed the audience room standing on the side.
When Chen Chuanshang came back, he met the high priest here. He was unable to go up at that time, not because the latter did not respect him, but because usually only the great chief of Kavatua and members of the sacrificial group could perform daily sacrifices in the Hatikkan Temple. If others wanted to enter, they had to wait until some specific festivals.
But now, the two of them were invited in. Because the area behind the rift was the only place that could provide a place for the two of them to fight.
The higher they went, the more they could appreciate the grandeur of the temple.
Hatikhan was the earliest temple built by the first people and is the largest temple in the world to date. It was difficult to find a comparable building like this one occupying the peak of a majestic mountain in ancient times, and it is unlikely to be seen in the future.
This building has undergone thousands of years of uninterrupted construction and expansion, which is enough to be called a miracle.
The two men walked to the end of the stairs and stepped onto the square in front of the gate. Due to the high slope, the scenery that was invisible below appeared in front of them.
Standing on both sides were two rows of thick nature spirit sacrificial pillars. The two men's strong spiritual power allowed them to easily see the nature spirits entrenched on them.
They might have been just creatures with some spiritual powers originally, but through long-term worship, they took on the appearance of various mythical creatures imagined by people, and possessed their own unique wisdom and personality.
They noticed the two people walking up from below, and the moment their eyes looked over, their bodies suddenly tensed up.
This is because they all felt the great power possessed by these two people, which was at a higher level than theirs, and could only be compared to their power in their heyday.
They stared at the newcomers, silently chanting in their hearts: "Apuchaimi..."
"Apchaimi" means demigod. This is the ancient name used by the first people themselves, and the ones used now are actually borrowed from some names of the Federation.
Seeing Chen Chuan and the other man calmly walking past them, the natural spirits showed a hint of complex emotions in their eyes.
In their heyday, they had many first people worshipping them, and they used this to maintain their own intelligence and personality. They could maintain themselves when absorbing energy. That was the best time. However, with the decline of the first people, their resistance to alienation invasion became weaker and weaker, unless they were willing to give up their original selves.
Therefore, he is now retreating all the way and can only barely maintain the appearance of a lowest-level nature spirit. Even though his appearance is still so awe-inspiring, he may not even be able to defeat a Holy Land warrior.
The fact that they are here means that they are the most steadfast companions of the First People and will accompany them through life and death. Therefore, giving up other natural spirits is actually nothing to the Kawatua, especially the Quetzatec people. As for the senses of the remnants of the other two dynasties, they don't really care.
After Chen Chuan and the other two took a look at these natural spirits, they withdrew their gazes, because the latter posed no threat to them at all, and their level was only equivalent to that of the most ordinary fighters, or perhaps even worse, so they only regarded them as a group to create an atmosphere in religious places.
After passing the sacrificial pillar, two huge statues of the primitive people appeared on the left and right, with gorgeous paintings on their bodies, and an ancient and magnificent atmosphere filled the air. Facing them in front were two heavy stone doors that were more than 30 meters high.
When you get closer, you can find that the stone gate is covered with intricate and gorgeous ritual patterns in the shape of flowers, leaves and branches. The power of the ritual field causes waves in their field.
When the old priest arrived here, he motioned for them to stay. He walked up alone and seemed to be praying for something.
Chen Chuan and the federal officer stared at the stone gate, and both estimated in their minds whether they could destroy it if they attacked it with their own strength.
When this thought came to their mind, they all glanced at their opponents, obviously realizing that the other party had this plan.
This is normal. Wherever a fighter goes, the first thing he will do is to think about the retreat or assess whether the venue will restrict him, regardless of whether the place is friendly to the opponent or not.
The federal officer smiled and introduced himself, "Mr. Chen, I am Wells Fantner. I am very happy to be your opponent. The raid before Kavatua left a deep impression on me. I can't wait to fight you head-on."
Chen Chuan took a look and said, "Xinguang Sect, the original sect?"
"neither."
Fantner said: "I am from the federal military. I heard about you, so I took the initiative to come to you this time. I want to see if I can defeat and kill you in a formal battle."
He said this without any reservation, and he still maintained a decent smile while saying it.
Chen Chuan could see that what the other party expressed were his truest thoughts. His desire for battle was extremely strong and he did not try to hide it at all.
But what’s interesting is that, from a spiritual level, this person is clearly a fighter at the Dongxuanguan level, but in his words he puts himself in the position of a challenger. Is it because he is not bringing all his strength this time?
Or some other reason?
He said seriously and sincerely: "It's just that I'm afraid you can't do it yourself."
Fantana stared at it for a while, then smiled and said, "I will go and verify it myself." At this time, the priest in front finally finished praying, and at the moment the voice stopped, the patterns on the grand stone door flashed with light, and then opened silently.
This was not based on any mechanism, but purely on the power of ritual. The moment it was opened, light shone out from inside, tinging the entire Avenue of All Spirits behind with a layer of golden light. Those first people knelt down one after another.
The old priest turned around a little tiredly and said, "Please come in, both of you. I will take you here. The high priest is waiting for you inside." The Holy Land warrior behind him repeated it in two languages at the same time.
Chen Chuan and Fantana walked inside together. After passing the magnificent main hall, they saw a long and wide platform in front of them. However, the stairs and space here were so vast that it seemed as if they were provided for giants to walk around.
The burning braziers on both sides guided their way up.
As the two walked toward the steps, Fantner said, "Mr. Chen, when I came here, someone asked me to ask you a question about ascending the stairs. I wonder if you have ever thought about it again?"
Chen Chuan took a look and said, "Is Mr. Fantner a member of the Ascending Ladder?" Without waiting for the other party's answer, he said, "I am not interested in this."
Fantner looked at him and said, "Mr. Chen, I know what you are, so I can understand why you don't join the Ascendant Ladder. You have the qualifications, but it is precisely because of this that I want to fight with you to see what is the difference between you and us."
These words seemed to be incoherent, but after hearing them, Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of something and realized that the other party might have misunderstood something.
However, he will not hold back in this fight. When the battle is over, it won't matter what the other party thinks.
After these two sentences, the two stopped talking and walked up the stairs. After about ten minutes, they reached the end of the stairs.
At this time, a dazzling light appeared in front of them, covering both of them. At the same time, a stream of air rushed towards them, lifting their hair and clothes. The red scarf on Xue Jun's sword fluttered in the air.
There is no doubt that they have reached the front of the rift. This place should be the holy land of the ancestors of the first people.
However, what surprised both of them was that the light coming from the cracks did not cause any sense of invasion.
Chen Chuan looked at the second me. There was no sign of emptiness there. Everything that was unfavorable to them seemed to be blocked by a force.
This crack was the best controlled one he had ever seen. It was very large, but it was built entirely on a stone wall, and no super-limit creatures could be seen from the outside. But if you felt it carefully, you could see the extended meridians of alienated plants inside the wall, and it was they that firmly bound the crack.
Here the primitive people demonstrated their superb skills in utilizing alienated plants. It was a pity that these were only used in religious places and were not transformed into real power.
The high priestess was standing in front of the rift at this moment. She was dressed in her best attire today, wearing a full set of high priestess attire. A golden sun disk was inlaid in her towering crown, as well as a half-cracked crystal gem symbolizing the rift.
The tassels on the crown hang down to the shoulders, and the shawl is engraved with intricate geometric patterns and images of all spirits in bright colors. The edges are decorated with small golden bells and animal teeth, which make pleasant and mysterious sounds when blown by the air flow.
Compared to the tall Rift Gate, she was extremely short and insignificant, but her profound and vast spiritual power was now connected with a huge creature and could not be ignored.
She said: "Welcome to both of you, thank you for your efforts for the future of Kawartua. Ikus said that the winner will receive a gift from Him."
Fantner smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."
Chen Chuan didn't say anything.
The high priest turned around and waved the scepter decorated with bright feathers in his hand. At this time, a feathered serpent figure appeared in the light, and two huge wings spread out.
The layer of protection above the crack was suddenly lifted, the light suddenly became violent and hot, and the two people felt a strong invasion at the same time.
The high priest said, "Please follow me." As she spoke, she took small and quick steps and walked into the crack with the sound of bells and bone ornaments on her clothes colliding.
Chen Chuan clenched the Xuejun Knife in his hand, and followed with Fantana, and their figures soon disappeared into the light and shadow.
