A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1206: Sacred Heart Heaven Forbidden Zone

Baiyu turned around.

He saw Gavin, whom he’d met earlier in the Gladiatorial Arena, now strolling gracefully up behind him. "The scenery out here in interstellar space is all the same, hardly ever changes.

Watch it long enough,

and you actually start to feel fear.

Fear of the depths of the universe, fear of the unknown.

All these years, the Human Galactic Imperial still hasn’t expanded outward. The Galaxy Element is just way too small in the universe.

It’s like a speck of dust.

No one knows how vast the world beyond really is."

Baiyu showed a slightly surprised expression, then smiled. "Mr. Gavin, you’re also a cosmic geographer?"

"I don’t dare call myself a geographer. I just really want to see how big it actually is outside the Galaxy Element."

A look of longing appeared on Gavin’s face.

He paused, then smiled and said, "I still don’t know your name. Meeting twice like this, that’s more than just coincidence."

"Geman."

Baiyu returned the smile and raised the Scarred Church emblem on his chest. "I’m a follower of Scars." freewёbnoνel.com

"Priest Geman, then? I’ll call you that from now on."

Gavin had noticed how Baiyu was dressed.

He was indeed wearing the Priest’s Robe of the Scarred Church. Since they hadn’t reached the Church on the Sea of Myriad Islands yet, he hadn’t had the chance to change into a Bishop’s Robe.

"Yes."

Baiyu nodded.

Gavin went on, "I wonder what Priest Geman thinks of the Gale Arena?"

"Very wild, and very bloodthirsty."

Baiyu gave a fair evaluation. "If you put this kind of gladiatorial fight in the world of ordinary people, it definitely wouldn’t be acceptable.

But in the world of Martial Artists,

it’s actually just right."

"As expected of a follower of Scars. Mr. Geman, you must be very powerful, right?"

Gavin pressed him further.

Baiyu raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"

Gavin smiled. "Because followers of Scars are usually powerful battle lunatics. That’s common knowledge across the whole Human Imperial.

And I can feel it too.

You’re at least a strong one of the Eclipse Moon Realm.

You know,

the Gale Arena has another purpose."

Baiyu had guessed Gavin came looking for him for something special, but he hadn’t expected it to be related to the Gale Arena.

Though it wasn’t hard to imagine.

The Gale Arena was Gavin’s domain. Whatever he was in charge of would basically be tied to the Gale Arena.

"What purpose?"

Baiyu didn’t hide his confusion.

"To select a partner for Admiral Gale!" Gavin narrowed his eyes, a smile on his face. "I believe Priest Geman isn’t unfamiliar with the name Admiral Gale."

Baiyu frowned, then showed a puzzled look. "Sorry, I really haven’t heard of it."

This time,

it was Gavin’s turn to freeze.

He clearly couldn’t believe there was someone who didn’t know the name Admiral Gale. Those Cultivators on remote planets might really not know.

But as a Priest of the Church,

how could he possibly not know this kind of basic Imperial information?

However—

Baiyu truly hadn’t come across it.

Though he’d crammed knowledge about the Galaxy Imperial beforehand, an Empire spanning the entire Galaxy Element was just too complex. The information from all aspects of it was as vast as an ocean.

Forget last‑minute cramming.

Even if you spent your whole life, it’d be hard to dabble in every field.

So Baiyu really wasn’t very clear about Admiral Gale’s situation.

"Among the Imperial One Hundred Generals, Admiral Gale ranks seventy‑ninth and commands the Gale Star Realm Army.

The Moon Wheel Commerce Association—

she holds a share in that as well."

Gavin briefly explained Admiral Gale’s background to Baiyu, then continued, "This time, the Gale will be handling interstellar transport mainly because Admiral Gale needs to pick a partner to participate in the battle for Sacred Heart Heaven."

Baiyu frowned.

He didn’t ask right away what Sacred Heart Heaven was.

Instead he asked, "Admiral Gale still needs a selection like this to determine her partner?"

In other words,

he was saying that with Admiral Gale’s connections and resources, she absolutely wasn’t at the level of not being able to find a partner of her own tier.

"Hahaha, that’s because Sacred Heart Heaven is very special.

It’s one of the few Forbidden Lands humans have discovered that people can actually enter.

On Sacred Heart Heaven,

there’s a Daoist Temple, with many Daoists inside.

They require two people who are complete strangers to form a team. I don’t know why either; anyway, that strange rule was set by them.

For thousands of years,

no one’s been able to break it."

Baiyu frowned.

What a bizarre rule.

Two people who are strangers, yet have to become partners.

"Sacred Heart Heaven is a place countless Cultivators dream of. If you can win in the Gladiatorial Arena, you can get a free slot to go to Sacred Heart Heaven."

Gavin’s attitude was very modest.

After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to Baiyu and went off elsewhere, apparently to tell other capable guests about this as well.

Baiyu had received the message.

He quickly returned to his room and found Nancy.

"Sacred Heart Heaven?"

Nancy frowned, as if searching her mind for information on that term. Soon she looked suddenly enlightened. "I’ve heard of it.

It’s a Forbidden Land.

Those who rush in blindly—few come out alive. But it seems there are some ancient humans living inside.

If you enter the Forbidden Land under their lead,

it becomes much safer.

It’s just that,

the conditions for them to take people in are very harsh. It seems you must participate in some Daoist Assembly contest they hold."

Baiyu frowned.

This was basically the same as what Gavin had said.

"What’s inside Sacred Heart Heaven?"

Baiyu asked on.

Nancy shook her head. "I’m not sure either. I’ve never been there, and the area of responsibility of the Clearers’ forces basically doesn’t extend into Sacred Heart Heaven.

However,

there supposedly exists a supreme Spirit Fruit inside that lets you leap straight into the Sun Realm.

There are also Elixirs that can bring people back from the dead.

Of course,

those are all rumors you hear in the streets.

But one thing is true: once, a high‑ranking noble in the Empire was on the verge of death, and someone brought out an Elixir from Sacred Heart Heaven and successfully saved him." freewebnovel.cσ๓

Hearing Nancy say this,

Baiyu did feel some interest in Sacred Heart Heaven. But right now, his top priority was still reaching the Holy Center Continent.

Places like Sacred Heart Heaven

didn’t really feel like they were meant to be his opportunity.

...

Over the next few days, Baiyu watched matches in the Gladiatorial Arena, using that little over two million to place bets. He had both losses and wins.

In the end he successfully turned that two million into three million.

And in these two days,

no one knew what Secret Elixir the people of the Moon Wheel Commerce Association on the Gale had used on that Katan star‑person An Wu, but they actually restored him to Peak condition in just a single day, allowing him to get back into the ring.

The strength of this Katan star‑person truly lived up to expectations.

He kept up a streak of victories,

and ended up becoming a hot favorite.
