Chapter 10 The King and the High Priest

Perhaps it was because Mo Heng's gaze was too focused, Chu Jun's ears turned red. She reached out and lightly covered Mo Heng's eyes. "Why are you looking at me? Are you still sleepy? You can still sleep a little longer."

Having lost his vision, Mo Heng's other senses became more acute.

The boy's palms were slightly cool, and there was a faint fragrance coming into his nose. The king who was born in the desert didn't know how to describe this smell.

There is no snow in the desert. Even a noble man like Mo Heng has never seen the Tianshan Snow Lotus in this desert country. Only merchants from the east brought the legend of the Snow Lotus.

Legend has it that snow lotus can only grow in the snowy areas of the plateau. Its petals are like ice and jade, crystal clear, and have a refreshing and elegant fragrance that seems to purify the soul.

Mo Heng felt that he no longer needed to possess the snow lotus. The young man was more pure and flawless than the snow lotus. Wouldn't it be enough to possess the young man?

Hearing a hint of embarrassment in Chu Yun's tone, Mo Heng felt an urge to see Chu Yun's expression.

But the current atmosphere is so good that Mo Heng can't bear to ruin it.

'Next time.' Mo Heng thought

"Well, I'll sleep a little longer."

Originally it was just an excuse to rest his head on the boy's legs for a while longer, but in this refreshing fragrance, Mo Heng fell asleep again unconsciously.

The carriage gradually stopped, and the attendant Sosai came in from outside to report: "Your Majesty, the carriage ahead can't move any further. You need to get off and transfer to a sedan chair. The sedan chair is ready."

Chu Jun then turned his gaze away from Mo Heng, released his hands that were covering Mo Heng's ears, and called Mo Heng to wake him up.

The sedan chair was covered only with a cloth to block out the light. Because this place was close to a water source, the air was filled with a fresh, moist scent, and the breeze blowing across the water brought a slight coolness, so the annoying sandstorms were almost unnoticeable. The attendants seemed to have prepared a sedan chair with ventilation on all sides for this reason.

Without the curtain to block them, Chu Jun naturally distanced herself from Mo Heng. Mo Heng quietly made a note of this to Sosai, who was preparing the sedan chair.

This place is close enough to the ancient river, and Chu Jun used his divine power to explore the situation of the ancient river.

As soon as the divine power spread out, everything in the ancient river basin was exposed.

Most of the lower reaches of the ancient river were normal, but near the lower river basin near the Kaiyi tribe, there was an area at the bottom of the river that was inaccessible to divine power. After careful exploration, Chu Yun discovered traces of space magic at the extreme point, which was very likely the existence of another independent space.

Chu Jun couldn't help but recall that when Pino introduced this, he mentioned that this world was numbered S-017.

When revising the Plane Treaty, in order to facilitate plane management and determine the scope of use of the Plane Treaty, the Divine Realm comprehensively considered the concentration of spiritual power, radio wave intensity and danger, and divided the planes of the lower realm into four levels: ABCD.

Among them, Class A is the most dangerous and has the highest level of civilization. Class B represents the existence of unknown attributes such as spiritual power and supernatural powers. Class C is the safest and has an average level of technology. Class D indicates that human civilization has just started and humans are barely surviving.

Under normal circumstances, this plane would only be defined as D-level.

However, S-class is independent of ABCD. During their initial screening, the gods governing the planes discovered that some planes contained areas beyond the reach of divine power. These areas could be traces left behind by the gods in the netherworld in ancient times. These areas could be independent dimensions or sealed forbidden areas.

Taking into consideration that these powers will not affect the fate of mortals, the divine power of some planes was not removed, and the planes were classified as S-level for distinction.

Initially, Chu Jun didn't care much for the S-rank. Firstly, this plane was a low-level Mogu world, with extremely low spiritual energy content, and the possibility of the space or forbidden area being triggered was almost zero. Secondly, S-rank planes were rare, and the plane number 17 meant it was ranked low, with very few hidden dangers. There was basically no need to worry about those traces affecting the plane's trajectory.

This should be the independent space.

Chu Yun decided to wait until late at night when everyone was asleep to go explore the riverbed.

When the afterglow of the sunset was about to disappear, the king's procession finally arrived near the Kai tribe.

The guards began to set up camp. After the officials confirmed the sacrificial procedures for tomorrow with Chu Yun and Mo Heng, it was already late at night and the surroundings gradually became quiet.

After using a trick to deceive the guards at the door, Chu Jun quietly came to the ancient river.

This is an ancient river that may have existed in this plane for tens of thousands of years or even longer.

The divine power beneath the ancient river seemed to sense Chu Yun's divine power. The river began to boil, and the waves seemed eager to bring Chu Yun to the bottom of the river.

The wind and waves gradually grew stronger. Seeing this, Chu Jun jumped into the river without hesitation.

After determining the direction, Chu Jun quickly arrived at the riverbed of the ancient river. Before he got close to the pole, Chu Jun was pulled by divine power.

The divine power enveloped Chu Yun, and Chu Yun acquiesced without sensing their malicious intent. But when they wrapped around Chu Yun's wrist, Chu Yun felt her soul tremble.

Chu Jun couldn't tell whose divine power it was, but he felt extremely familiar with it, as if it had been with him day and night before.

Without resisting the pull of divine power, Chu Yun was teleported to another space.

There is only an ancient temple in the space, which seems to have been separated from somewhere.

Chu Jun was transported to the temple's gates. Pushing open the doors, he revealed a vast open-air courtyard. Within this spacious and tranquil courtyard, a variety of plants seemed to have been given life, growing with almost frenzied abandon. The vibrant, emerald green leaves intertwined, forming a lush sea of ​​green. Most striking of all were the intertwining vines, which, like nimble green snakes, rapidly spread out, nearly covering the entire courtyard. Some vines tightly coiled around the walls, like loyal guardians guarding the courtyard; others climbed up the pillars, seemingly seeking to penetrate the mysteries of the sky; and some playfully slipped through the gaps in the railings, displaying their vibrant vitality to the outside world. From afar, the entire courtyard resembled a mysterious green castle, brimming with endless vitality and energy.

Crossing the courtyard and going further in, you will reach the Pillared Hall. The builders of the temple seem to have pursued beauty to the utmost, using smooth marble, pure white and translucent. However, time has left them with traces of scars, as if they will break at any moment.

Behind the colonnade is the temple, inside which stands an altar, but the stones used to lay the altar have disappeared, leaving only a sculpture in front of the altar.

It's called a sculpture, but it's been damaged so much that only the outline remains. You can vaguely make out two people, one large and one small, holding hands. This seems to have been built later, and the stone is different from that of the temple. You can vaguely see traces of people praying in later times.

As soon as he stepped onto the altar, Chu Jun couldn't wait to inject his divine power into it. But unfortunately, there was no trace of Mo Heng's aura.

Chu Jun felt that he might be possessed by a demon. How could a temple of an unknown god from ten thousand years ago be related to Mo Heng? Perhaps he had sensed it wrongly in the royal capital at that time, or perhaps Mo Heng had just been here sometime.
