CHAPTER 48: HOLY CHURCH OF MOTZU. PART 2
Master Dan observed Adrian's bright gaze, seeing the Holy Church of Motzu in all its splendor, although in his eyes you could see a sadness every time he returned to see the fifth church, it was an imperceptible sadness for everyone. Less so for him.
"The lower part of the mountain we are on belongs to the Fifth Church, where our Foundation Establishment experts rest, and train." – Master Dan spoke as they descended a flight of stairs, which led him to the city below.
When Adrian heard the description of the mountain where he was, he didn't think this place was so spectacular.
When he wanted to ask Master Dan a question, he answered much earlier.
"If you are wondering, Elder Sonu omitted many laws so that you can rest in one of the mountain caves at the bottom, you should be very careful of the disciples of the city have you in their sights" – Master Dan warned.
Adrian nodded, though he was grateful that his teacher actually held him in high regard.
Seeing that the boy was grateful, Master Dan smiled, he thought that this was a good generation. Although everything had its price, he didn't know if the disciple Master Sonu had adopted would survive the passage of time, after all the future was unpredictable.
"As a newcomer, you must know that everything in this life has its price, in this city you must find your way and get your own cultivation resources, keep in mind that every three years anyone who has reached the great circle of Qi condensation, has the opportunity to fight to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, there are no favorites, now there are only 2 years left for the next election"
Master Dan advised Adrian as much as he could, he hoped that his words would serve as encouragement, as well as a way to know a little more about life inside the Holy Church of Motzu.
After all, death might wait around the corner for a cultivator.
However, Adrian, who was still thinking about Master Dan's words, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
When Master Dan saw Adrian stop, he turned to look at him.
"Is something wrong, Disciple Adrian?" - I ask with a little strangeness, I could see that he looked a little agitated, plus he seemed to have heard something that had scared him.
When Adrian heard it, he came to his senses, but immediately asked.
"How long... Was I unconscious?" – That was what Adrian wanted to know, after all, he felt that not much time had passed, but remembering Master Dan's words, he had told him that of the three years he only had two left.
He remembered that he had just arrived, so why didn't he tell him that there were still three years to go, or was it that he had already started much earlier.
Master Dan didn't care much about that subject, after all the time for him it was a bit different, as he had a high level of cultivation, he could live much longer than a normal person.
Even so, he decided to answer the question.
"Since Master Sonu brought them into the sect, it's been a full year."
Even when Master Dan gave him the answer, Adrian still couldn't believe it.
"Pa....I spent a year unconscious" – He said to himself, I really never expected his injuries to be so disastrous, when he looked at his shadow, he could see three figures inside him.
He still did not completely forget the dream he had.
He clenched his fists, and calmed down, still unable to understand how he had been asleep for so long.
But now he couldn't let his thoughts stop him, after all, he had a year to make up.
Then he began to follow Master Dan.
Master Dan went on to talk about the Church, and how all of its mountains were specialized in different aspects.
For example, there were a total of 10 churches.
The first Church specialized in Botany, everything that concerns all kinds of plants, could be found all over its mountain and surroundings.
The second Church specialized in Alchemy, many were pill creators, so they were in great demand within the Church.
The third Church specialized in Necromancy, using remains of dead bodies to create soldiers, many could use their shadow as a means to bring them to the battlefield.
The Fourth Church specialized in Spirit Reinforcement, they could create flames of different colors to reinforce any type of weaponry.
The Fifth Church specialized in Demons, many of the disciples trained unique techniques to kill demons.
The Sixth Church specialized in the Forge, some were good at creating swords, axes, and different armaments.
The Seventh Church specialized in the Devils, strange and secret techniques came to this place.
The Eighth Church specialized in the Heavenly Marks, from this place, a number of different spells, could affect the course of the battle.
The Ninth Church specialized in treasure hunting, in this place there were many adventurers who traveled almost all over the continent.
And finally there was the Tenth Church.
When Adrian heard about the Tenth Church he looked at the Giant made of clay.
The Tenth Church was the Residence of the Current Patriarch of the Holy Church of Motzu, and this was where the Sovereign's Legate was located.
So only the true Geniuses that the Patriarch selected entered this place, when one was chosen, he would spend a lot of time inside the Tenth Church, so it was rare to see them leave.
Master Dan, despite his strength, had never been to the Tenth Church.
Even Master Sonu had never been selected. That showed how complicated it is to be elected.
Adrián gradually understood how the Holy Church of Motzu worked.
