Chapter 1672 The Tournament Grounds

"So this is the Temple of the Four Guardians." Lin Mu looked upon a large temple complex that was spanned nearly two kilometers in size.

There were tall walls bordering it, with hundreds of guards patrolling along it. There were archers perched upon towers that were built at equal distances, ready to act upon any enemy that dared to attack them.

In the center of it, one could see a ma.s.sive building, that may as well be a palace. It was expansive and had four giant statues built at its top. These statues could be seen for a long distance as they were all nearly three hundred meters tall.

The building they were standing upon was also equally tall. There were six courtyards that extended outwards from the temple, each of them being hundreds of meters in size too.

These courtyards were the accommodation of the priests that served the temple as well as other administrative buildings that were necessary for the functioning of the temple.

Along with all this, there was a wide open area that was filled with a crowd of people that had come to worship the guardians.

Some of them knelt on the ground, some bowed their heads towards the temple while some simply stood and prayed.

But this crowd was not allowed to go past the second boundary wall and could only pray from the outside. Entry into the temple's main area was only allowed on special occasions and even then to only a few lucky people.

For most people, just being able to reach the outer area of the temple alone was enough to satisfy them. Only the n.o.bles and a few strong experts were qualified to enter the main grounds of the temple.

But that wasn't all, as the concentration of Qi was high here too. Both spirit Qi and immortal Qi was abundant, making one feel refreshed even if one stood in the outer area of the temple.

And if one went to the inner area, or the temple itself, the concentration would only increase.

Then there were the formations and runes that covered the entire Temple as well as the surrounding grounds. The walls were covered in defensive and offensive formations, while the ones in the inner area of the temple were simply unreadable.

'They are certainly secured. The encryption is of the highest level I've seen so far.' Lin Mu thought to himself as his immortal sense scanned the formations.

There were special arrays that prevented one from using their immortal sense too, thus it couldn't go past the inner boundary wall. Lin Mu reckoned he might be able to force his way in with a little effort, but that would bring a whole bucket load of troubles.

"Just the formations alone are worthy of learning from." Lin Mu muttered.

One could even say, being able to enter the temple grounds was an opportunity in itself. The winners and top contestants of the compet.i.tion would be allowed within them, thus it was another extra reward for them.

"Let's give our entry then, shall we?" Lin Mu said looking at Little Shrubby on his shoulder.

While he had finished the registration upon appearing in the city in the past, Lin Mu still needed to give his entry that he was appearing for the tournament today. After all, there were people who would register but never turn up for it.

For this Lin Mu entered the outer grounds of the temple and walked to one of the many counters that had been set up for the contestants. The outer grounds were rather vast and allowed for hundreds of counters to be set up along with hundreds of lines for contestants.

And the speed of processing was very fast too, as one merely needed to tap their ident.i.ty token on a formation plate and walk on. This basically meant that the lines were being processed very fast and there was almost no wait time.

Lin Mu wasn't the only one with a beast either, as there were several beast tamers among the contestants. Though the ones with large beasts simply kept them in their beast storage treasures or kept them away for now.

It only took Lin Mu five minutes to pa.s.s through the line, and then arrive in the next section.

"They did say the Tournament wasn't inside the temple grounds, but in a different area." Lin Mu muttered as he followed after the rest of the crowd.

With the sheer number of people present, it was almost like an army that was marching toward a battlefield.

The sound of millions of people merged into a strange cacophony, as Lin Mu finally arrived on the Tournament field!

"The Grand Guardian Tournament Field." Lin Mu read the ma.s.sive formation banner that was floating in the air.

There was a large translucent dome that was covering a radius of nearly ten kilometers. Within this, there were hundreds of fighting rings set up. Some were small, being only a few tens of meters wide, to some big ones that were nearly five hundred meters wide.

They were s.p.a.ced out almost evenly, with seats built between them.

Formation screens were also floating in the air, allowing one to see the events happening in the other rings.

With the number of matches that would be happening, it was normal that the audience won't be able to move around to see all of them. Thus, the formation screens were an absolute necessity.

Of course, there were private and VIP areas too, within which the more influential and powerful people could sit comfortably and watch the tournament. For them, special formation screens were set up, that could be changed at will.

For the commoners, they could only watch as the screens scrolled through different rings automatically.

"Now that... is ma.s.sive." Lin Mu gasped as he saw the sheer scale of the tournament. "Just this alone could be an entire city or two." He muttered.

It wouldn't be wrong either, as the number of people currently present here was already in the tens of millions.
