Temple or Sanctuary

The barrier disappeared. After closely 7 and a half months of isolation the rigid barrier is broken. All the sect in the central continent is alerted, the iron legion is also alerted. Soon from all directions level 50 above cultivators started to enter the land.

Rugbir the Patriarch of the Sun Sect led a surprising amount of elders and entered the Northern Lands. He first went to Kazam city and started his own personal investigation.

"It looks like there is no one alive, but...." Rugbir pondered for a second before deciding not to hunt David's son. ' If that boy really survived it will be hard for me to find him so I believe that the boy will be found on his own. '

"Patriarch. We have notified all forces of the Sect in this half. The will reorganizing in this place."

"And The other sect also started to move. The Ice Lady personally came and organized her forces, same goes for many other sect masters."

Two elders with Twin faces reported Rugbir about the recent update.

"What about the Iron Empire? " Rugbir asked.

"For now all we know is that the largest city, Terra is under their control. The Iron Empire also sent their 3 sword commanders."

"So they sent them. " Rugbir pondered for a second before he looked at the sky towards the north. The Earth Dragon's breath fire still lingers in the sky as a huge amount of clouds is circling in a large gap.

An energy blast of that calibre surely made the ion around that place unstable. As a result even clouds can't cross that zone.

"For now you two are coming with me. I want to check that thing. As for the forces here..., let's just order them to rebuild the city. It's not a cool thing to have burned land like this. Also order them to perform a funeral for the deceased."

"Yes, Patriarch." Both of them replied at the same time.

After ordering them Rugbir flew towards a certain direction in the sky. After flying for a few minutes he soon met a person who was blocking his way in the sky.

Rugbir waited for a second and looked at the person. The person is a female. She has long beautiful silver hair and a very long revealing leg. Sha has a certain aura of majesty surrounding her. She has a long small sword in her waist and right below her leg there are ice in the sky. It's as if she is standing on an icy surface.

"What do you need Kana? It's not like you are thinking of stopping me?" Rugbir asked in a very calm tone.

The woman didn't reply instead she looked at Rugbir for a while before asking, "Are you thinking of going there? Do you need my help?"

"Thanks. But I don't need your help. " Rugbir replied. The woman felt a little heart broken but she still proceeded.

"We are my senior brother, I am a little worried you know."

"That relationship ended a long time ago when you left and joined the Ice Heart. Right now I am Rugbir the Patriarch of the Sun Sect while you're Kana the Icespark, the sect master of the Ice Heart Sect. " Rugbir replied with a very emotionless tone.

"I guess the master was right. You are indeed a hard nut to crack. But anyway take this. I may look nothing in your eyes but if you press that thing I will come to your aid. Hump!" Kana replied with a very angry tone and threw at him a communication device.

Both then departed from each other without saying anything.

Elsewhere in the Pascal Village, a man is sitting on stairs of the newly renovated house while a woman is cleaning the garden in the courtyard.

The man is looking in the direction towards the area where a large energy bean was blasted last evening. He then shifted his eyes towards the women and asked her, "Hey what do you think lives there? "

"Don't be silly and try to go to that place. Remember our mission. We will not make contact with anyone before the right time." The woman replied while working on her flowers.

"I am not saying I will go there. I am just a little curious."

"Curiosity kills the Cat. So don't be curious. To think that a beast of that calibre is living here. You never underestimate a planet's natural system."

"But to think that a beast of that calibre just shot his energy beam towards the sky. You know why they do it since it's your major in the Academy. " The man asked her.

She didn't reply for a few seconds before finally replying, "The being who can annoy such a creature is not many. Rugbir guy, First Sword Commander Rackham and that Bloody Emperor of the Red Dragon probably has the power but that is not enough to make him angry. " She stopped for a second before replying,

"To think it became this much angry. I think that the history of this world will take a turn." She took her head from the flowers and looked towards the sky.

"It's like calm before a huge storm." She said while looking above.

After passing the door Magnus and Anna both greeted a new world that they never thought existed. In front of them is a very old underground structure. The structure is more like a large building that has multiple large pillars that are connected with the roof.

Judging from the scenery no one would believe that such a structure is possible to build underground. There are gaps and a balcony in each pillar. Magnus soon realised that they are inside one of those pillars.

Below them is dark. But Magnus increased his zoom power to see what's in there. Soon he found that there a silver water running below 1000 feet. From the top it feels like they're in a high-rise building and below is not visible because of clouds.

The towers are looking very old and the design of them is also unknown. Some of them even has moss growing on them. Anna left looked at some and soon spoke, "I don't know such a place exist in this world. What is this?"

"Temple, probably." Magnus didn't say much except indicating that it's a temple. Anna has her doubts but she didn't ask any further instead she waited for her own thoughts to rearrange.

In fact it's not unusual to have doubts about Magnus. What happened there? What is this place? How did Magnus manage to access this place? Is all connected and Anna could feel that if she ask the right thing she might answer one of the biggest mystery about him.

She then asked, "How do you know it's a temple and how did you open it?" She's clever. She managed pin down the most important question in that short time. But Magnus didn't answer her. Of course it's not like he doesn't know what this place is. For starters Magnus knows that such a location exists. And he made one of his goal to find them. There are supposed to 5 of such temple in this planet.

Long time ago, there once was a civilization that control the entire outer universe. That civilization at that time connected every planet in the universe with a giant grid network. This structure is one of the antenna for the network.

After that civilization fall these structures become useless and because of many restrictions they became forgotten. Magnus knew about this from his memory bank. He has seen many heros dug out one of these structures in their own planet. Although they didn't become rich but it initiated something called connection. Those heroes who manage to open this place connected their planet with the outer universe.

The reason Magnus knows about this is because after defeating the Lightning Tiger he put of curiosity and his own instinct, he looked at the memory of the Tiger. Since it's a beast that already developed its own consciousness he thought he might get some close information.

And indeed he get a hell of a memory. He saw many things and he also noticed that the Lightning Tiger's soul is connected to a very powerful beasts, The Earth Dragon. From that connection he realised that the earth dragon learned about him and ordered every beast to attack him.

That's why Magnus knew that a beast horde is coming for them. Also Magnus saw that this cave is actually the home of the Tiger and the information about the Temple door being here.

"Too think that the Titan is actually planning that big." Magnus spoke lightly.

"What?" Anna wanted to know but he didn't answer. He only replied, "I will tell you everything when it's the right time. For now I will only tell you that this is a temple because it looks like one."

"That's a very foolish way to name it. Then why not call it sanctuary."

"If it suits you, then be my guest." Magnus replied as he looked towards a certain tower.
