The building stands alone, with no living beings in its surroundings. However, Aldrian can sense several high-level formations placed around it. These formations are powerful enough to kill or trap even high Emperor-stage cultivators.

"This is the first building constructed by the first pope, Marcus Decimus, before he built the main church of the Heavenly Direction Church. We call this place the Shrine of the Beginning.

"Although we don't know what kind of divine revelation he received that led him to build this shrine, it is said that this place serves as a sign that the heavens are constantly watching over this land," he added.
