Chapter 3139 Where Is The Ecclesiastic Order
Staring at them, Levi asked, “I’ve sent my men to look for you, but somehow, I can’t find any traces of you at all. Where are you hiding?”
That was something Levi wanted to know since forever.
He knew that the Ecclesiastic Order was at Erudia, but he could not pinpoint where they were exactly.
Troy and the others wanted to know the answer to that question even more badly than Levi.
Back when they just started the search, they could not even find a trace of the Ecclesiastic Order’s location at all.
Later on, they managed to scavenge a little clue about their location.
Still, they could not figure out where it was located exactly.
It was as if the Ecclesiastic Order was a ghost.
As a matter of fact, they tried to track down a few members of the Ecclesiastic Order before, but those members had managed to slip away from right under their noses when they reached the deeper parts of the mountain.
Troy and the others had clearly seen those members enter the cave, but when they went in, the members had disappeared without a trace.
It was as if those members had stepped into a portal and gone into a different world.
The investigation had left them completely bewildered.
Even when the existence of the Ecclesiastic Order was no longer a secret—and the members of the Ecclesiastic Order had made their appearance in broad daylight—no one could find out where in the world their base was at.
That was a secret no one could solve.
Troy and the others tried to do research to solve that secret, but their efforts were to no avail.
When Sonja and the others heard the question, a smile emerged on their faces.
“Crown King, we’re at Erudia. More specifically, we’re in a small world parallel to the rest of the world,” Sonja told him.
“Huh?”
Her answer made Levi stiffen.
So it seems like my discussion with Black Hawk had been right back then. Both the Ecclesiastic Order and the faction behind Zarain have their own worlds.
A world within a world.
It sounded absurd, but it was a simple concept that anyone could grasp after understanding the theory.
The Sky Barrier that Zarain once had could change a region’s magnetic field and gravity to create an independent world.
Now, the powerful members of the Ecclesiastic Order were using spiritual energy and other forms of power to change the region and create an independent world.
Even if someone were to accidentally stumble upon the entrance to their world, they would be teleported to another place—they would only be able to touch the edges of the independent world.
In other words, no one could ever enter their world uninvited.
That was why Troy and the others had lost sight of their target.
After that, Sonja gave him another explanation.
She talked about how they used certain tricks, including ancient arts and art of mechanisms to change a region and create an independent world.
Moreover, their independent world was separated from the rest of the world by an invisible barrier.
That invisible barrier was made with spiritual energy.
That way, spiritual energy would be abundant in their independent world, and they would be able to cultivate there.
The abundance of spiritual energy in their own world was also the reason that they were legendary.
The outside world, on the other hand, did not have that much spiritual energy.
Before the creation of the independent world, spiritual energy was barely around.
They would not have been able to establish their organization.
Furthermore, they were not like The Cardinal Hall and the Dragonite, who existed to protect Erudia.
The protection of Erudia had nothing to do with them.
No matter what kind of disasters Erudia faced, they would never appear.
That was why they were in the legends.
The Lab of Gods feared the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild because they had seen records of those two organizations in their records.
Perhaps the members of the Lab of Gods had stumbled into the Ecclesiastic Order or the Esoteric Guild’s territory while exploring Erudia.
Nevertheless, those records were something Dr. Erebus and the others did not know about, for those records were so old that they had become legends.
It was not unusual for someone to not know about it.
After hearing Sonja’s explanation, everyone finally understood the situation.
Still, they would need a large number of Spiritual Stones to activate the mechanisms.
That was the most important resource.
Thus, Levi and Black Hawk’s speculation had been right.
It was the same for the forces behind Zarain.
Right then, another question popped into Levi’s head.
