Chapter 1091: Following the Spirit's Message
Chapter 1091: Following the Spirit's Message
At the entrance to the Gem Lake, a few roadblocks and makeshift fortifications have been built, and a large number of modified organisms have been deployed along the way.
This is of no use to martial artists, but it can serve as a certain obstacle for a small number of reconnaissance and assault personnel.
As information transmission will become extremely difficult after entering deep into the ritual, a temporary telegraph receiving station has also been set up here.
After Chen Chuan arrived at the telegraph station, a telegram from the visit delegation arrived just in time. It informed him that the people sent from his side had safely arrived at their destination and had already verified the information.
On the day he killed those three Palace martial artists, he had already sent several detailed telegrams to Captain Xie in a sporadic manner, and also sent another messenger back, carrying a secret message in a sealed letter. In this way, both sides could cross-verify each other.
At the time of receiving the message, Captain Xie gave a reply in the first place, not sparing any words of praise within the lines, and thanked him for his efforts. Finally, he hoped that they could guard the Voice of Star Spirits and ensure that the Federation would take possession of this place during this period.
As for the three Palace martial artists killed by Chen Chuan, he was informed that although the matter was not small, the Federation might have a strong reaction in the next step, but the visit delegation would try their best to solve the problem and provide information for him, and he only needed to complete his own task.
Chen Chuan knew that the real test was yet to come.
Behind every Palace martial artist was a huge interest group. If it weren't for the fact that these people were organized to prepare for an attack on Kawatua, he might never have encountered them or had any intersection. In fact, apart from Master White Stone, the rest would probably try their best to avoid direct collision with him.
The Federation might still be trying to confirm the message or discussing countermeasures and solutions. Three days was not enough time for them to react.
Once the situation was confirmed, what might follow would be a real storm. The Great Success Visit Group could mediate, but at most they could only delay the time. The subsequent pressure still needed him to bear it himself.
For him personally, he was not only unafraid, but also welcomed such a challenge.
However, for the Voice of Star Spirits, this stage might have to bear greater risks. Perhaps only when Elder Lie Feng found and controlled the ritual hub here could they truly obtain safety.
In fact, he was not unprepared at all. Before he let the Blood Hunter Cavalry go, he deliberately left a mark on a certain important person. With the help of these people's positions, he could roughly judge the general direction of this group of people.
In the past few days, he could sense that they had not truly left, but were just hovering around the foot of the mountain. This indicated that they had not given up, or perhaps they were waiting for further instructions.
As he was pondering, the First People boy Awan hurriedly ran out from behind, saying loudly, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen..."
Chen Chuan put down the telegram and walked over, saying, "Don't panic, take your time."
Awan was panting, and he knelt down, saying with joy, "The Elder said that we, we have found the entrance to the hub, and the Elder has something to discuss with you..."
"Oh?"
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up, and he decisively took Awan with him, turning back to the Voice of Star Spirits. Under the latter's guidance, they hurried towards that location.
Along the way, he took the opportunity to ask Awan some questions, and learned that the location was not far from the central step pyramid. However, there were no obvious signs on the outside, and they had found some records left by previous priests, which finally allowed them to deduce and find this place.
When they arrived, they saw Elder Lie Feng and all the First People who had come here. They looked at the flashing gate with excited and happy eyes, its boundary was formed by thin branches growing from several trees.
He took a few glances and was not surprised. This was a Lie Xi.
When Elder Lie Feng saw him, he immediately came forward, using barely fluent Daxun language saying, "Mr. Chen, you're here."
Chen Chuan walked up to him, asking, "Elder Lie Feng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's like this," Elder Lie Feng said helplessly, "After we found this place, we tried to go in and take a look. Now we have also confirmed the location of the ritual hub, but even with the opening key, we still need to hold a ritual to gain the recognition of the ancestors..."
Chen Chuan listened to his explanation and understood that this ritual was quite complex. Aside from some minor details, holding such a ritual required at least three high-level priests to jointly preside over.
Elder Lie Feng himself barely counted as one, as he had received priestly teachings and had some experience in presiding over rituals. However, there was only one priest left among the Isutalans, aside from him.
However, this priest was already very old. Not to mention enduring the long journey, even if he could rush over from the tribe, it would still take at least half a month or more, and who knows what might happen along the way.
So now, he had to come up with another plan. His idea was to seek guidance from the people present and teach them the sacrificial ritual. It wasn't easy to grasp the intricate etiquette in just a few days, but now he had to bite the bullet.
In fact, if it weren't for the requirement that the ceremony be performed by the First People and specifically by Isultarans, the Daxun ritual experts could have stepped in.
However, doing so would mean that Daxun's personnel might need to stay and participate in the defense for a while.
Aside from this, there was also the issue of sacrificial offerings.
Elder Lie Feng felt a bit embarrassed as he spoke, "To perform the ceremony, we need many offerings from the Ancestral Altar. We had already promised to give these to Mr. Chen, but now we have no choice but to ask to borrow some from you."
He quickly added, "Not too many, just the ones needed for the ritual, and we will find a way to repay you. As long as we can contact the holy beast in the Ancestral Corridor, we can double the repayment to Mr. Chen."
aware of the strong enemy outside, all driven away and killed by Chen Chuan, senses the potential for more devilish forces to be dispatched. With safety concerns, they couldn't help much, so the best support they could offer was to expedite the completion of the ritual.
Chen Chuan, seeing that there were no issues here, went to check on various places and communicate with the squad members. Currently, morale was high, and there were no signs of discomfort. The busiest ones were the Mystery Group and the technical experts.
Entering here was like stepping into a treasure trove for them, with valuable research materials everywhere. It was no wonder that after the Federation acquired the First People's land and treasures, they indeed gained numerous good things.
Currently, the Federation and Daxun's technologies had their strengths and weaknesses. In the field of implant technology, both sides had their specialties, but in the technology of the mutated plant system, they were far ahead. It was said that the new generation of high-energy algae was about to be developed.
Once successful, it might bring about a new round of revolution. The Federation's advantage in this field was partly due to the First People's previous accumulation.
The technical personnel at the Sacred Throat Shrine had never seen mutated plants before, which kept them busy day and night with their research. They even sent a telegraph to the visit delegation, requesting more technical experts to be dispatched from their homeland.
Chen Chuan instructed the attendant to take care of these experts and didn't disturb them. Instead, he returned to his tent alone. He first fed Zhaoming and then poured himself a hot drink. From the fabric pouch beside him, he took out several bark books and leaned against the thick cushion, slowly flipping through the books in front of him.
These were sent by Elder Lie Feng. In addition to the minority records of ritual arrangements, there were also the First People's cultivation books and various records.
He didn't recognize the First People's writing, but the previous Sacred Land warriors didn't either. The writing was exclusively mastered by the priests, and knowledge was passed down through paintings and spiritual power, which was actually more useful than mere writing. The information conveyed by spiritual power was more intuitive than the limited capacity of words.
In the past, only the most devout followers of the ancestors and deities were allowed to view these treasures of the Sacred Land. But now, he could browse through them at will. It could be said that if one had sufficient strength, any rules were no different than scrap paper.
The First People's cultivation had its own system, and the highest ancient teachings were the Sun, High Mountain, Angry River, and Earth Four Veins. This was recorded here, but not completely. It seemed that these teachings were not entirely passed down in writing.
But he didn't mind. Just the sight of these things could bring him a lot of inspiration. He still remembered his battle with Takoda, where the opponent's Angry River technique left a deep impression on him. Perhaps the Federation had martial artists practicing this ancient art.
In addition, some unique training techniques were also quite refreshing.
Just as he was engrossed in reading, the phone rang in the tent. It was an internal line, and he immediately picked it up. The attendant on the other end reported that the telegraph station had received an urgent telegram from the visit delegation, and it required him to read it immediately upon arrival.
He put down the receiver and left the tent, heading to the telegraph station across the lake. He took the telegram from the standing attendant and read it. There were only a few short words on it.
"Go! Evacuate immediately!"
