Chapter 554: Sacred Mountain

The so-called holy mountain is nothing but a very inconspicuous mound.

When Iska stopped and told Chu Tianjiang that the mound with a towering tree growing on the top of the mountain in front of him was the Holy Mountain, Chu Tianjiang even suspected that she was talking nonsense, because there were similar mounds nearby, and many of them had similar towering trees growing on them.

Of course, if the Holy Mountain is really the mausoleum of Clara and Natasha, it makes sense to hide it in this inconspicuous place.

"It's getting dark, we'll spend the night here and we'll be there tomorrow."

Although the holy mountain can already be seen, it will take at least a few hours to get there, and it will certainly not be possible to reach it before dark. Iskar found a cave that was enough for the two of them to hide, and if he continued to hurry, he might not be able to find a suitable hiding place, so Chu Tianjiang had no objection.

It didn't take much effort for Chu Tianjiang to light a bonfire, and Iskar prepared dinner.

While eating dinner, Iska kept looking at Chu Tianjiang.

For more than ten days, Iska has been observing Chu Tianjiang, and firmly believes that Chu Tianjiang is the savior, because Chu Tianjiang has shown extraordinary ability in front of her, as well as that magical set of armor. In Iska's view, only a savior possesses such outstanding abilities.

"Aren't you hungry?" Being stared at by Iska, Chu Tianjiang felt a little furious in his heart.

Catching the jerky handed by Chu Tianjiang, Iska bit his lip and said, "Are you really a savior?" ”

"I said, believe it or not." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "You have asked me many times, tell me about the Holy Mountain." ”

Although no one has ever seen the two empresses die, and according to legend, both empresses are immortal, they have lived for thousands of years, and they will not die at all, but after the demise of the Shadow Empire, the two empresses never appeared, so the people of the alliance prefer to believe that they are dead. Even some rumors about them, such as that they are dormant, are seen as morale-boosting rumors.

The point is that the two empresses built a mausoleum for themselves, that is, the Holy Mountain.

About a hundred years before the fall of the Shadow Empire, the Empress of Wisdom personally chose the cemetery and then pooled the power of the empire to build a mausoleum on a grand scale.

It's just that no one has ever entered this mausoleum.

The Holy Mountain is a forbidden place, not to mention outsiders, even the people of the Shadow Alliance cannot enter the interior of the Holy Mountain. If someone tries to break in, there will be no return, because the sacred mountain is guarded by the personal guards of the two empresses, who are both superpowered warriors and have an almost infinite lifespan.

It is for this reason that, for the past five hundred years, whenever trouble arises, members of the Shadow Alliance have come to the Holy Mountain to ask for the protection of the Empress and survive here.

"No one from the church has ever been here?"

"I don't know the Dao, but the church certainly doesn't know where the sacred mountain is, otherwise we'd be doomed. According to the message left by the Great Elder, the Holy Mountain has the power to revive the Alliance and the Humanity, and the Church has been looking for the Holy Mountain but has never found it. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, these are legends and rumors, and their credibility is very low.

"You're the same age as the Empress, aren't you?"

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What, believe that I am the savior?" ”

Iskar didn't speak, even if she still had some doubts, she hoped that Chu Tianjiang was the savior, because in the prophecy, only the savior could save humanity.

"You're right, I'm from the same era as them, and I have an extraordinary relationship."

"What's the relationship?"

"The 'Empress of Wisdom' you are talking about, that is, Clara, is my wife."

Iskar was stunned and looked at Chu Tianjiang in surprise.

"The other one, Natasha, is a good friend of mine, probably my sister."

"But ......"

"Why, you don't believe what I say again?"

Iska swallowed and said, "But...... You ...... with them Are you, like them, have an infinite lifespan? ”

"Of course not." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "I slept for 10,000 years before I woke up, and they waited for me for 10,000 years, but they didn't wait for the day I came back." ”

"Come back?"

"Do you think that our world realm is originally like this?"

"This ......"

Chu Tianjiang waved his hand, and the figure showed an image in front of Iska, which was a blue planet.

"This is our planet, exactly what it used to be. At that time, we called it 'Earth', with vast oceans and vast continents, which were completely different from now. More than 10,000 years ago, we were invaded by extraterrestrial civilizations, and we have a deeper understanding and understanding of this universe. For some special reason, my consciousness left my body and entered a special space. There's no time, no space, no concepts we know well, only an illusory world constructed by our own consciousness. After this, a lot happened, including invasions, including the destruction of the moon, including the mutation of species due to the intense radiation produced by the lunar ring, including genetic viruses, and later the emergence of the Shadow Empire, and so on. By the time my consciousness returned to my body, it was 10,000 years later, right now. Chu Tianjiang paused slightly, "I didn't expect to be able to come back." ”

After hearing Chu Tianjiang's words, Iska was silent.

"Anyway, I'm back, so I have to do what I need to do, and I can't let Clara and Natasha's persistence be meaningless."

"You love them so much?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "I don't know how to describe how I feel now, but I believe that they are all alive." ”

"But ......"

"Have you seen them?"

Iskar shook her head.

Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and said, "Clara is a very strong woman, and she can even be said to be the strongest woman I have ever met. Natasha is amazing, she's the first person to have superpowers, and from what I've learned, her superpowers have been enhanced. They have been waiting for thousands of years, and they will never give up easily. I know that they will never let themselves be history until they meet me. ”

"This ......"

"Rest early, we have to go tomorrow."

Chu Tianjiang lay down and didn't talk to Iska again.

Although he knew that these things should not be said, after saying them, Chu Tianjiang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and seemed to let go of the burden in his heart.

The figure is right, he must face the past, live in the present, not in the memory.

As soon as Chu Tianjiang closed his eyes, Iska leaned against him. Opening his eyes and looking at Iska, Chu Tianjiang didn't say anything and put his arm around her shoulder.

Whether it's him or Iska, they need to rely on each other.

In this world, except for the relics left by Clara and the others, there is nothing related to Chu Tianjiang, and the more they are discovered, the more lonely Chu Tianjiang feels.

He is also human, a person with a normal mind.

Like Iska, Chu Tianjiang also needs sustenance, especially when he feels lonely and lonely, he needs someone to be by his side and bear it with him. No matter how powerful and tenacious Chu Tianjiang was, it was impossible for him to walk and explore in this world alone. Although his feelings for Iska are not strong, the warmth brought by Iska still makes Chu Tianjiang find some sense of the past.

It was a feeling that was so familiar to him that he didn't want to think about it.

Holding Iska, Chu Tianjiang soon fell asleep. In his dreams, he saw Clara, Natasha and Anna, and Melanie, but not Nichol. Chu Tianjiang knew that as long as he completed the task assigned by the Great Civilization Wisdom Individual, Nicol and the others would be able to return to him. But Clara, Anna, and all the other familiar people have been buried in history. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Chu Tianjiang knew that the possibility of Clara and Natasha still alive was extremely slim. All they left behind was memories, and if they wanted to see them, they would only have the next life, and Chu Tianjiang didn't believe that there would be another life.

When they woke up, it was already early in the morning, and the two of them had eaten something casually and hit the road.

In fact, there was no way out at all, and Iskar simply used the information left by the Great Elder to head in the direction where the Holy Mountain was located.

Chu Tianjiang's guess was not wrong, Iskar only knew that the Sacred Mountain of Lu Dao was here, but he didn't know which hill Lu Dao was.

Fortunately, for Chu Tianjiang, as long as he knew the exact location of the Holy Mountain, it would not be difficult to find the Holy Mountain. The point is, according to Iska, if the people of the church cannot find the holy mountain, there must be something protecting it, perhaps a system of isolation similar to a barrier.

As early as the Calamity, underground human civilizations were able to create powerful fields to isolate their surroundings. After thousands of years of development, Chu Tianjiang had enough reason to believe that the Shadow Empire must have mastered similar technological means and used them to protect the most important facilities.

If the Holy Mountain is protected by the Barrier, then the Mountain is also found when the Barrier is found.

It only took half a day, Chu Tianjiang found the Holy Mountain with the help of the human figure, to be precise, the barrier that isolated the Holy Mountain.

The problem also came out, this is not a strong field barrier, nor is it an illusion barrier, but a sub-space barrier.

To put it simply, the Holy Mountain doesn't really exist, it's just an isolated subspace that expands the singularity into a space that can accommodate people.

This also explains Iskar's statement.

If you can enter this subspace and prevent others from entering, you will be able to avoid the church and let the people of the Shadow Alliance avoid disaster.

It's not difficult to find the entry point of the subspace, but it is not so easy to open the entry point.

According to the information obtained by Iskar, the tokens of the seven Great Elders were needed to open the entry point of the subspace, and they only had one token of the Great Elder.
