692 The Saint Yielded (2/2)
The elder turned pale and seemed to be struggling.
When everyone else thought he was about to attack, he suddenly heaved a sigh and said as he lowered his head, ”The Christian Church will follow your orders.”
”My Lord!” the bishops yelled.
But Saint Francis said firmly, ”Go! Take out all the records about the seven Forbidden Lands and give them to Mr. Chen Beixuan.”
He was a Saint and the former Pope, so no one in the Christian Church would disobey him.
Soon, the records were gathered.
There weren't many of them; they were the size of a safe when stacked together. Many of them were written on parchment and every page bore endless drops of blood of the Christian Church. The Overlords in the past had risked their lives to get all that information from the Forbidden Lands.
”All right.”
Chen Fan stored them in the Blade Strengthening Gourd and left.
The elder then dismissed the others and went deep inside the Vatican along with the knight.
”Why did you give in? We've been in the Vatican for thousands of years and there are many arrays and Sacred Artifacts left by the Saints. Together with your power, not even nuclear weapons can destroy the city. We are more than able to fight with Chen Beixuan, and we also have our Lord here,” the blonde knight said resentfully.
”The Lord told us not to provoke Chen Beixuan. He has the power of an Entity. I didn't believe it before, but I was able to sense his powerful energy just now. Not even a group of Saints like myself can compare to him,” the elder said.
There was a glint of fright in his eyes. When he faced Chen Fan, he felt as if he were in front of a fierce ancient beast which could swallow him in a blink, and the image of the Divine Beast behind Chen Fan was even more terrifying.
”The Divine Beast behind him is the Kun Peng in the ancient Chinese legends, which has the power to swallow everything,” a gentle voice said.
”My Lord.”
The elder and the knight knelt down.
A barefoot young man in a white robe, who had fair skin and blue eyes, made his appearance. He looked at the elder and nodded.
”You did great. We aren't ready to get out in the world again. Chen Beixuan isn't our primary goal. He probably came here for information about the seven Forbidden Lands because he's planning to go to the Blood Sea. I'm sure he'll run into the monsters dwelling inside it, and that is a good thing for us.”
”Besides, I feel like Chen Beixuan has noticed my presence.”
The young man narrowed his eyes.
”What?”
This time, even the elder was stunned.
The two of them were the only ones who knew the real identity and superior status of the young man. He hid deep in the Christian Church and was surrounded by layers of arrays, but Chen Fan could still detect his existence. So, how powerful was Chen Fan?
”Luckily, we didn't provoke him.”
Both of them were glad.
Chen Fan slowly walked out of the Vatican and looked back at the city.
For everyone else, the Vatican was only an ordinary city, but in Chen Fan's eyes, it was surrounded by countless powerful arrays and many beams of light shot up to the sky, shining over the sacred city.
As he went deeper, there were more and more arrays and seals, and the Gift of Light became stronger.
The Christian Church was definitely the most powerful sect on Earth. With so many arrays formed by the Saints, Chen Fan even wondered if nuclear bombs could destroy the sacred city or not.
And yet, the Christian Church couldn't block Chen Fan's Immortal Will.
”The Christian Church is indeed powerful. I can sense a pure light energy deep inside its core. That energy is completely different from the one cultivated by mortals… but it's similar to the one harnessed by the Light Race seen in other parts of the universe.”
Chen Fan rubbed his chin.
The Light Race was a prominent race in the universe; it had a much higher ranking compared to the mid-grade races like the Kindred. Every member of the Light Race was powerful and was a Connate Being from birth.
”Are there pure-blood members of the Light Race on Earth? If there are, their battling power must be much stronger than that of the Blood Ancestor. I might be able to make a furnace of Treasure Pills with them.”
Chen Fan thought and shook his head.
He didn't bear any grudges against the Christian Church after all. He wouldn't use anyone to make pills without a reason. His current priority was to search for the Path of Heaven in the Blood Sea.
”Let's see what's recorded in the books from the Christian Church.”
Chen Fan went to a coffee shop and started reading the records of the Christian Church. Many of them were written in ancient Hebrew, thousands of years in the past, but it wasn't a problem for him. He had learned all the languages on Earth before he visited the West.
”Deities around the world… Aberration of the planet… Battle of Deities… Invasion of foreign races… Defeating the enemies… Deep in the Blood Sea… Leave the world… An ancient door?”
Chen Fan read through many secrets of the ancient times.
The records of the Christian Church were much more detailed than those of Kunlun and the Sword Palace, and every piece of information was earth-shattering. Suddenly, Chen Fan stopped reading.
”An ancient door?”
