The city seed sowhat desolate, and it was difficult to see any signs of movent on the streets.
"This place is usually very lively, but now that the Holy Realm is under martial law, there are very few believers lingering outside," the chief guard explained in a low voice.
"It's alright."
Fang Heng waved his hand gently, looking down at the city and asking, "Aside from the teleportation passage, are there no other ans of transportation in this world?"
"The central regions of the Holy Realm have Descent devices, which allow for rapid arrival through a Descent ritual," the guard added after a mont of thought.
"Additionally, griffins are often used during routine patrols or when there are issues with the teleportation passages. However, since the last incident involving the invasion of demonic seeds, the griffins raised by each God Pillar have already been collected by the central God Pillar in advance."
Fang Heng slightly furrowed his brow.
"Probably to prevent invaders from acquiring them," the guard speculated. "This way, it can limit the invaders' movent speed within the Holy Realm."
"Mm..." Fang Heng humd softly.
It gave him the feeling that the Holy Realm was deliberately delaying things.
"There should also be the Temple of Zeus here, right?"
"Yes, the Temple of Zeus is also located in the city area, which makes it more convenient to receive the power of faith from the believers. In addition, the city has various other temples for priests, libraries, prayer temples, historical archives, and so on. Would you like to visit them now?"
I see...
Fang Heng stroked his chin.
The Temple of Zeus here must also have a high level, right? Could it be convenient to take the materials back with you as well?
The guard noticed that Fang Heng hadn't responded and was still looking at the large buildings in the city. He quietly asked again, "Mr. Fang Bai? Do you need to go over and take a look?"
"No need. Let's go to the Holy Library first. I need to look up so materials."
"Understood."
Fang Heng had entered the city intending to visit the Holy Library.
While Bai Mu and the others had yet to break through the trial cavern, it was a good opportunity to visit the library first.
Taking the Temple of Zeus materials was just incidental; Fang Heng was well aware of the real purpose of his journey to the Holy Realm.
He was here to find the dark golden protective net of the death realm orb.
Soon, Fang Heng followed the passage down the mountain and into the city's central area, entering the Holy Library.
After verifying their identities, the two of them entered the library.
Fang Heng had island token privileges, allowing him to access any floor of the library and browse the books, though they could only be read on-site.
The most important materials were on the third floor, so Fang Heng headed straight for it.
"How should I search..."
Based on the illusion he saw by the Nether River earlier, he deduced that the Soul Orb was highly related to the origins of the death realm.
Alright, let's start with the origin of the Holy Realm.
Fang Heng walked past the tall bookshelves, glancing at the book titles as he passed by. From ti to ti, he would pull a book from the shelf and start reading on the spot.
According to the official records of the Holy Court, the Holy Realm was a world created by the Gods.
The God King was the ruler of the Holy Realm.
The Holy Church had received God's blessings, guarding the living beings of this world, and called themselves the guardians of the Gods.
According to the Holy Court's division, the God King inherited the power of the Gods.
Under the God King, there were three factions.
The Holy Realm Knight Legion, which was responsible for wars against the outer world; the Church, responsible for spreading the faith; and the Twelve Sages, who maintained factional balance and only swore allegiance to the God King.
"The God King..."
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
For all these years, the suppression of various races across the world and the Holy Realm's strong power were inseparable.
The undead council believed that the God King had already surpassed the God-level stage.
As for the Twelve Sages, they were at the peak of the demigod level and had even hiddenly reached the threshold of the God level.
However, the God King had not appeared in the outside world for a long ti.
Relevant books described this matter vaguely.
It seed the God King had been severely injured in a battle against demons.
Afterward, the God King returned to the Holy Realm to recuperate, and all affairs of the Holy Realm and the Holy Court were taken over by the Twelve Sages.
As for the orb related to the creation of the Holy Realm, there was no relevant information found in the books.
No descriptions were matching the orb in the library.
Fang Heng thought for a mont and decided to change his approach.
The death realm orb was located in the Abyss of Despair.
Due to the special energy released by the orb, ordinary people could not approach the area, making it a forbidden land of the death realm.
Did the Holy Realm also have a similar place?
Fang Heng continued to flip through the books.
Indeed, there were quite a few.
For example, there were the Temples of Worship, the Creation Temple, the Valley of Gods, the Origin Land, the Godwing Tribe's Altar, and so on.
A large portion of these sacred places were located in the Central God Pillar area.
"It seems the Creation Temple is the most suspicious."
According to the books, the God King had gained insight into the powers of reincarnation in the Creation Temple, gathered the faith of countless followers, and ultimately advanced to the position of the God King.
Later, the Holy Realm established the Creation Temple here and set it up as a forbidden land, prohibiting anyone from entering.
"The Central God Pillar..."
Fang Heng muttered again.
At present, his identity as Fang Bai was forged using a holy weapon, and it had not been exposed yet. However, once he entered the Central God Pillar area, things could get tricky.
It was better to wait.
Once Bai Mu and the others arrived from the world boundary, he would go to the Central God Pillar to investigate the situation.
After all, the demonic seeds were a significant combat force.
Fang Heng was very familiar with taking advantage of the confusion.
Lost in thought, Fang Heng was once again drawn to a few familiar nas in the books.
Eh?
Demon Suppressing Temple?
Fang Heng's pupils contracted suddenly as he quickly flipped through the book to the page describing the Demon Suppressing Temple.
"The temple established by the Holy Realm to suppress demons..."
Fang Heng's interest was piqued.
The Holy Realm had built several Demon Suppressing Temples, not just one. In addition to the main temple located in the King of Gods Pillar, there were also three more built in the Sub-God Pillars, with one of them conveniently located in the Sub-God Pillar he was in — the Mist Sub-God Pillar.
The book recorded that the Demon Suppressing Temples contained nurous demons, even demonic seeds...
Demons!
Demonic seeds!
Fang Heng's interest imdiately grew stronger.
The Great Sage's mission required the purification of a large number of high-level demons. In the trial cavern, he had been grinding for a long ti but had barely made 10% progress. It was hard to find suitable targets out in the world.
Now, with so free ti on his hands, why not take a detour to the Demon Suppressing Temple?
He might even find a demonic seed imprisoned there!
Let's go!
After all, he was already here.
If he was going to do sothing, might as well take advantage of the opportunity to make so gains.
A gleam of greed flickered in Fang Heng's eyes as he put the book down.
The guard who had been following him noticed the sudden change in Fang Heng's eyes. Unfamiliar with the shift in his expression, a sense of unease crept over him, and he couldn't help but ask in a soft voice, "Mr. Fang Bai, have you found the information you needed?"
"Mm, almost. Thank you. Let's go. We can talk outside."
Fang Heng set the book down.
Bai Mu, he estimated, would be able to breach the Mist Temple's passage within the next eight hours. He had agreed to act eight hours after his last offline session.
Eight hours was more than enough ti for him to pay a visit to the Demon Suppressing Temple.
