Chapter 367 - The Sanctum!
How would one describe something they found so beautiful and grand that no words came to their minds?
How would you describe something that looked exactly like what you imagined a paradise would be like?
How would one bring themselves to describe the first place that everybody was teleported to when they entered the Celestial Realm, the place known as the Sanctum!
Noah and Athena’s figures appeared on a magnificently white marble clearing as their eyes landed on the wondrous buildings all around them that rose to the skies.
They seemed to be a blend of ancient architecture that Noah would have seen in olden times, but also the futuristic designs that made one feel they were in an entirely new land!
Many of the structures around them had pointed peaks that rose to the skies, the crystalline structures tinged with the colors of white and gold as they glistened in the light. Those that didn’t have pointed peaks had artistic dome-shaped outlines that released an air of regality.
All around these enormous buildings, the ethereal outlines of huge ancient trees that rose to heights no less than the buildings themselves were present. The trees seem to shimmer with abundant life essence as they provided an aesthetic of nature that could not be violated. It felt like they were in a land filled with nature, and at the same time, this land had undergone the process of change that kept the natural aesthetic while simply adding the unique architecture all around it.
They could feel the oppressive feeling of immense essence all around them, the quality so powerful that every time they breathed, they felt as if their noses were getting unclogged after days of having a cold, finally being able to smell the vibrant smell of spring!

They could sense numerous powerhouses spread out all around, the least of which held power at the Void Realm, with the auras of multiple Domain Expansion experts being present!
Their surroundings were bustling with activity as numerous different robe colored Celestials could be seen walking around, only the white marble circular area they stood on being secluded and empty.
The Grandmaster looked at the paradisiacal scene around him as he voiced out with a tinge of wonder.
"Welcome to the first area that all who step in through the Golden Door of the Celestial Realm are introduced to, welcome to The Sanctum that is our home base in this expansive Celestial Realm."
Noah continued to glance at the phenomenal array of golden and white colors around him as he sensed a brand new atmosphere in this Celestial Realm he had stepped into. He realized the first subtle differences by the many bustling figures that were moving around the Sanctum, but he couldn’t find anyone in the skies.
He noticed this difference as he felt a type of restriction landing on his body, and he wanted to test it as his body slowly jumped to the skies, but he was thrown back down by his weight the moment he reached just a few meters high, finding that he could not use his energy to hold himself up!
"Haha, you have caught on to the differences of the Celestial Realm fast. Yes, one of the things you will come to realize here is that numerous restrictions exist, and one of them is that you cannot fly! Unless you are on a ship or flying on a winged beast, you will find your energy is useless in keeping you afloat...that is until you reach a certain realm."
The body of the Grandmaster began to float stably as he said this, his figure remaining in the skies jovial before he came down in a few seconds.
"Of course, the other differences are more astute, but you can easily discover them in time. Come, the newcomers need to gain their preliminary knowledge of the nearby geography and exactly where to go or not go if you want to keep your life."
The Grandmaster pulled them away from the white marble area they entered in as they went towards one of the ancient buildings that had its golden peak pointing to the skies, the shape of two huge white wings spreading out from the sides of this unique structure as it let out an air of magnificence.
Their party passed through the glass doors as two guards clad in a unique white armor bowed with their hands clasping their chest.
"Grandmaster."
"Grandmaster."
Grandmaster Vredral gave a simple nod as he took Noah and Athena forward, the two disciples curiously watching everything around them as they observed numerous Celestials moving in and out of the building they were in. They climbed a set of circular stairs as they came to reach a higher floor that held huge wide open doors leading to a hall where a few figures were cl.u.s.tered around an oval table.
There was a powerful aura at the forefront that turned towards Grandmaster Vredral and called out raucously.
"Vredral! You’ve finally returned, and with new disciples I see."
The smooth reacquaintance of two old friends occurred as the wizened Grandmaster gave a huge bear hug to this being.

They need to be brought to speed on the safe and dangerous regions around the Sanctum, as well as the areas they can begin to explore in this wide Celestial Realm of ours!"
A nod of understanding came on the face of the one called Raizel as he smiled and looked towards Noah and Athena, his powerful aura at the Domain Expansion realm focusing on them as he nodded.
"You have been gone too long my friend, the regions you knew to be dangerous have turned safe after years of exploration, and some of the safe regions have turned dangerous after the Celestial Beasts reclaimed them. Haha, no worries though, let’s enjoy ourselves a bit with delicacies only found here before we delve into the crux of everything."
The being called Commanding Officer Raizel waved his hands toward the table as numerous doc.u.ments and papers were moved away, a collection of rainbow-colored fruits that pulsed with immense essence appearing on the table as the eyes of a few guards standing by the side shone with light.
"Do you remember these? The Aurora Fruits from a dangerous region we had not yet captured towards the west. We have been able to get our hands on them now, and they are delicacies you definitely have to enjoy!"
Raizel invited them to partake as Noah’s hands grabbed an Aurora Fruit himself, feeling enormous amounts of energy the moment the rainbow-colored fruit landed on his hands as surprisingly, his Planetary System showed a few blue colored words interpreting the features of the fruit’s unique energy signature right away.
[Aurora Fruit] :: A unique medicinal fruit only capable of growing in unique environments. Has the effects of fully recovering one’s energy and vitality to the maximum, and granting them +100% energy regeneration for the next hour.
His jaws nearly dropped at the description of a simple fruit that he had come across as he first stepped into the Celestial Realm, his gaze turning towards the jovial Celestials in front of him as the hunger he felt for the unknown things in this Celestial Realm only grew.
He had just arrived at the base of the Celestials in this Realm that was called the Sanctum. He wanted to learn more about exactly what awaited outside this Sanctum, and what dangers he had to brave if he wanted to get his hands on ridiculously amazing items such as the ones he had just come across a few minutes of entering into this Celestial Realm!
He was also extremely impatient as his thoughts went to a feature of his Spiritual Land that would be something phenomenal to have in this land filled with opportunities. He was thinking of the feature of [Treasure Hunter] that he wanted to use in this Celestial Realm right away, his gaze looking far into the future on the unlimited possibilities.
He had just stepped into the Celestial Realm, and already his heart felt a strong pull as he was swept off his feet instantly!
