Oathkeeper suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, trying his best to keep his mental frequency stable so that Han Xiao would not be able to see through it.
He observed Han Xiao's expression and mental fluctuations. He could not tell that Han Xiao was trying to tease him and could only feel Black Star's curiosity.
Black Star asked about the Sanctums. Did he understand the Holy Covenant's plan or heard the term from somewhere else? There were not many people in the entire universe who knew about the Sanctums.
Oathkeeper's mood was like riding on a turbulent space turbulence. He tried his best to remain calm and acted casual.
"Where did you find out about the Sanctums?"
"Someone told me."
Han Xiao lied casually. Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the truth.
"Who told you?" Oathkeeper did not give up. "There are very, very few people in the entire universe who know about the existence of the Sanctums. Even advanced civilizations might not know about the existence of the Sanctums."
Since Black Star mentioned the name 'Sanctums', Oathkeeper knew that Black Star had a certain amount of information in his hands. If he pretended not to know about the Sanctums, he would lose the clues instead. He really wanted to know how much Han Xiao knew.
"Well … if I said that it was a revelation from inspiration, would you believe me?"
Han Xiao had no choice but to use the excuse of being a jack of all trades. Although it was not very believable, he was only trying to brush it off and was not prepared to convince the other party.
However, he did not expect Oathkeeper to nod lightly and not raise any more objections, as if this was the correct answer.
"This situation is indeed a simple way to perceive the Sanctums, but it is uncontrollable and very vague. Only existences that have reached a certain level of life can have a faint connection with the Sanctums. At the moment when inspiration intersects with the universe, you can occasionally see its vague outline, but your perception and it are separated by endless space-time dimensions, and you will never be able to touch it with your spiritual sense. At most, you will hear murmurs in your ears, speaking an ancient language …"
Han Xiao was stunned by what he said.
Little brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly swerving to Cthulhu's style?
Hearing Oathkeeper's explanation, Han Xiaoxin did not have much confidence either. He really did not know what the Sanctums were, and he was only trying his luck when he asked today. It seemed like the Holy Covenant really knew about the Sanctums.
"Stop talking nonsense. Can you say something that I can understand?"
Han Xiao could not help but interject.
Oathkeeper was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant to reveal the information. After thinking about it, he decided to share some harmless basic information.
"The Sanctum … is an ancient existence. No one knows when it appeared. It might be even older than the three Universal Civilizations. Only at special times or with special means can one sense or even approach it."
Han Xiao's eyes lit up.
It was not easy to find an insider, so he naturally could not miss the opportunity to ask.
"What exactly is the Sanctum? Where is it? "
Hearing this, Oathkeeper looked at Han Xiao strangely. Seeing that Han Xiao did not seem to be lying, he asked,
"You don't know?"
"If I knew, why would I ask you?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
His understanding of the Holy Covenant Organization was limited to the surface. He really did not know the connection between the Holy Covenant Organization and the Sanctums. He did not know that his question had hit the nail on the head and scared Oathkeeper quite a bit.
Hearing this, Oathkeeper heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced.
It seems like Black Star really does not know about our plan, so I misunderstood. There is actually no mole, but Black Star got the information from somewhere else …
Thinking about this, Oathkeeper did not stop talking and continued.
"The Sanctum does not exist in the material world, nor does it exist in the secondary dimensions. It has no concept of geographical location, and I don't know how to define the nature of the Sanctum. I think it should be considered a phenomenon."
"Phenomenon?" Han Xiao was curious.
"Yes, a phenomenon."
He waited for Oathkeeper to continue, but Oathkeeper had no intention of explaining.
The two of them stared at each other, and there was an awkward silence.
Seeing this, Han Xiao knew that Oathkeeper was not willing to continue talking about this, so he changed the question.
"Then what is in the Sanctum?"
"…"
The two of them continued to stare at each other.
"Then how many Sanctums are there?"
"Six," Oathkeeper answered this time.
Han Xiao was slightly taken aback. This answer was somewhat unexpected.
He asked a few more questions, such as' how to find the Sanctum ',' how to open the Sanctum ', and so on. Oathkeeper, without exception, expressed that he did not know.
This guy definitely knows more, but he just won't reveal the key information. Then the Sanctum must be something very important … although I still don't know what it is for.
With this thought in mind, Han Xiao saw that he could not squeeze more information out of Oathkeeper for the time being, so he ended the topic of the Sanctum and returned to the transaction between the two parties, re-establishing the time, place, and method of the transaction.
Having achieved his goal, Oathkeeper's figure suddenly exploded, turning into black flame flowers that danced in the air before dissipating into nothingness.
After sensing for a while and confirming that Oathkeeper had left, Han Xiao stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
The Holy Covenant Organization seems to know a lot of secrets. Maybe I have to find a way to dig out some information from them. Now, only Oathkeeper can take the initiative to contact me, which is a bit passive. During the transaction, I can find a way to track the other party's emissary … Speaking of which, there are actually six Sanctums?
Han Xiao was confused. This was different from what he had guessed. His original guess was that there were only five Sanctums. Why were there six?
Unfortunately, Oathkeeper was ambiguous. He did not know if he was telling the truth or not, so he was not willing to reveal more information.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
After completing the transaction and getting the benefits, I can consider exposing the other party's intention to revive the Primordial Ones. Maybe I can use this to exchange for information about the Sanctums. I'll treat it as hush money.
…
On the other hand, in the secret hall of the Holy Covenant Organization's base, Oathkeeper, who was sitting cross-legged in midair, removed his Mind Projection, and the clusters of star-like flames around him retracted into his body.
"How's the situation?"
Law and Fay were waiting below, looking up at their boss.
"Black Star is very easy to talk to. The transaction is re-established," Oathkeeper said slowly. "Prepare the chips on our side. The transaction method is still the same as planned. Prevent Black Star from tracking us."
"Understood." The two nodded.
Oathkeeper nodded. His tone was a little solemn, but there was also a little anticipation in it.
"Because of the information disturbance revealed by Destiny's Child, the agreed date has been brought forward. After getting the Holy Light Particle, prepare to open the Third Sanctum and carry out the awakening ceremony. Thousand Shadows' Esper Ability is the foundation of the synthesis. We don't have time to wait for him to complete the transformation. We have to wrap things up."
Saying that, Oathkeeper's gaze became distant.
"It's time to fulfill my oath and welcome the return of history."
"That mole …"
The two touched on his sore spot.
Oathkeeper's mood was interrupted, and he gritted his teeth.
"Humph, don't look for it. I might have made a mistake."
…
Secondary Dimension World, Underworld Dimension.
The broken black floating islands were pieced together, turning into a black land. The texture was like a moving desert, with peaks and hills appearing from time to time, and valleys and cliffs appearing from time to time. The landscape was unpredictable.
The sky was gray, and thick black clouds covered the horizon. The colors were dark and light, forming a sense of gradual change. A pale white ball of light hung in the middle of the sky like a full moon. The soft moonlight illuminated and passed through the surrounding clouds, and silver-white faint stars scattered across the land. The atmosphere was quiet and serene.
With Hella's replenishment of dimensional origin energy, the broken space wall here had been repaired after half a year, and the chaotic space flow was blocked outside. It was no longer in the miserable state of being riddled with holes. Now, it was the true appearance of the Underworld Dimension.
In the center of the Underworld Dimension, there was a red lake with waves rising without wind. If one looked carefully, this was energy that was so condensed that it was almost liquid. It was the death energy that Hella controlled.
At this time, the dazzling red was stained with a faint black gas. This was the aura of the Underworld. Through the Mark of the Underworld, it was added to Hella's body. The connection between the two gave her a huge boost in strength.
This was the legacy left behind by the previous Esper of Death, and Hella had inherited it. Her combat strength had increased by a lot.
Directly above the red lake, Hella sat cross-legged in mid-air, a faint red aura surrounding her. Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes trembled. She was releasing her own energy to replenish the Underworld Dimension.
At this time, the figure of the Underworld Earth Lord, Onicelu, appeared beside Hella.
"Your connection with me is getting closer and closer."
Hella opened her eyes and said expressionlessly, "After absorbing my energy for a few months, how much have you recovered?"
"About three percent. It's enough to resist the space storm of the secondary dimension world."
"Only so little?" Hella frowned.
"The Underworld Dimension's energy comes from two Esper Abilities after all. If the person carrying the life Esper Ability reaches Beyond Grade A and replenishes the Underworld Dimension's energy with you, there will be a resonance reaction, greatly increasing the recovery speed of the Underworld Dimension. Now, there's only you, so the efficiency is naturally not that high." Onicelu smiled.
"Is that so …" Hella nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, now that the Underworld Dimension has stabilized, can the Hero Spirits stored in the core of the dimension be released?"
"You can, but it's still too early. I suggest you don't do that." Onicelu shook her head. "This is the tomb of the Hero Spirits, and there are many of them. Their free movement consumes the Underworld Dimension's energy. Furthermore, the stronger the Hero Spirit, the more energy it consumes to maintain it, which further lowers the recovery efficiency … When the Underworld Dimension recovers to thirty percent and activates the soul calming function, it's best to let them sleep."
"So, you mean the efficiency is not enough now?"
"You can explain it that way."
Hella sighed. Although the Underworld Dimension was strong, it was still far from reaching its peak. She did not know when she would be able to summon the reincarnated Hero Spirits like her predecessor.
At this moment, Hila's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What do you mean?
"Speaking of which, the Underworld can temporarily revive the past Undead and allow them to descend into the world again. Other than that, is there any other way to revive the dead?"
Hearing this, Onicelu thought for a while and said with uncertainty.
"When the two masters, Nerkese and Eros, were still alive, I seem to have heard them mention a special phenomenon that seems to be related to the revival of the dead."
"There really is? What's that? "Hella asked.
"I think it's something called the Sanctum … The two masters once had an argument because of it, but they rarely mentioned it after that … It seems like someone invited them to carry out an operation related to the Sanctum. I don't know the details, but they rejected it."
"So, what exactly is the Sanctum? Is it the same principle as the Underworld?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know much about it either. I only heard their conversation. However, it's said that the Sanctum is very powerful. Reviving the dead is only one of its effects." Onicelu shook her head.
"I see …"
Hella nodded. She was just asking casually and did not take it to heart.
However, Onicelu thought for a while and said, "If you're very curious, some of the Primordial Hero Spirits in the Underworld might know something. However, after waking them up, they can't be forced to continue sleeping."
"Then, forget it. We'll talk about it after the Soul Calming function is restored. There's no rush."
Hella shook her head.
She secretly noted down the information about the Sanctum and planned to tell Black Star when she returned to discuss it.
