The Legendary Man

Chapter 789

Chapter 789

Jonathan, in a typical tourist outfit, and Hossom, dressed as a monk, had just got off the bus at West Region's capital, Newcove.

As Jonathan stood in the busy street, he stared at the giant Seboxia statue in the distance.

It was located in Bazar Temple, their destination.

“It doesn't seem all that mysterious, Hossom.” Jonathan spoke as he took a photo of that statue.

Before he arrived in Newcove, he imagined Bazar Temple to be hidden in some obscure corner if it was that heavily guarded.

He thought there would at least be dozens of guards watching the perimeter if mountains or natural hazards didn't surround it.

Instead, the hundred-meter-tall Seboxia statue was the first thing he saw after exiting the bus.

“Why do I feel like the king of West Region isn't afraid of letting people know where Bazar Temple is located?” As Jonathan continued to operate the camera, he strode toward Bazar Temple.

At the side, Hossom pressed his hand on his chest vertically.

“You don't know a thing about West Region's customs, huh? West Region is a famous theocratic country, and Bazar Temple is the heart of their religion, the sacred land of the worshippers. While they don't want people to approach Bazar Temple, it's understandable why they built it in the most obvious spot,” informed Hossom in a whisper after carefully surveying his surrounding. “You may not believe it, but there's a street selling everyday items around Bazar Temple that's no different from a marketplace.”

As they spoke, they left the main road and headed to the side street.


Jonathan looked at the skyscrapers in the modern city and remarked, “I don't see any location that resembles a marketplace here.”

“Obviously, you're not going to spot it from here.” Hossom rolled his eyes. “If we keep going, we'll reach Bazar Garden. The temple is located in the center of the garden. No one can enter Bazar Temple, but because it's an important tourist site, people started selling souvenirs on the outermost street. After a while, it became a market.”

As he spoke, he guided Jonathan toward their destination. Less than ten minutes later, they saw some greenery.

Before Jonathan could expand his spiritual sense to more than a few meters away, Hossom interrupted, “You mustn't use spiritual sense here.”

He grabbed Jonathan's arm tightly and whispered, “If you want to take a look at the temple, we can go to the special observation deck in the nearby mall. We can see a part of the temple from there. But if you use your spiritual sense, Bazar Temple's formation will lock on to you immediately. When that happens, there will be no escape for you.”

In response, Jonathan withdrew his spiritual sense. Then, he followed Hossom to the observation deck on the tenth floor of the mall.

He had been behaving himself in Newcove the whole time instead of causing any trouble.

When viewed from the top, Jonathan realized the layout of Bazar Temple was exactly as Hossom described.

Right in front of him was a small green garden.

If ignoring Bazar Temple, the surrounding garden was only twenty to thirty meters wide.

It was a bit of a stretch to call it a garden.

Beyond the garden was a red wall a dozen meters tall and hundreds of meters long.

Golden runes on the wall glimmered under the sun. Ordinary people would think they were decorations, but a high-level cultivator like Jonathan could see each stroke of those special runes strangely pulsating.

Those runes formed a vast and complicated formation.

Usually, a spirit stone or magical item would be used as the foundation of a formation.

Formations even simpler than that, for example, an energy-gathering formation or a formation that cleared the air, could form at the place it was drawn on by absorbing the caster's spiritual energy.

However, it was impossible for anyone to create a gigantic formation covering a wall that stretched for hundreds of meters using the abovementioned method.

Jonathan gazed at the golden runes on the red wall. Each rune was flowing with a faint amount of spiritual energy.

Were spirit stones or magical items buried in the wall when it was built? Based on how long the wall is, it would take more than ten thousand magical items to maintain the formation, even if they were arranged in a spread-out manner. Jonathan tightened his grip as his train of thought continued. If not for the divine messengers guarding Bazar Temple, I would've cut a part of the wall out and brought it back home with me.
