Chapter 688: Chapter 419 Immortal Realm_2

“Of course.” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, having thought that Logan would make some severe demands, but isn’t this something they could easily agree to? Besides, who in the entire Ancient World would dare to oppose them? Merely the thought of offending dozens of Sanctuary Powerhouses would send shivers down anyone’s spine.

“Don’t be in a hurry to agree just yet. Although it may seem a bit naive, I want you to swear on the name of the Heavenly Dao. Failure to do so will result in suppressive action from the Heavenly Dao. Once the vows of Sanctuary Powerhouses are witnessed by the Heavenly Dao, if you dare to break even the slightest part of it, you all know the consequences,” Logan said with an amused smile, causing everyone to gasp in shock. Was Logan really going through with this? Swearing on the Heavenly Dao was no joke—if something were to happen to Logan one day, none of them would escape the consequences, for the Heavenly Dao would surely intervene.

Some wanted to flare up, but thinking about Logan being a Master Alchemist, no one wanted to risk their lives in a fit of rage. Thus, they could only give a wry smile, rethink, and ultimately agree.

One after another, they took their oaths. Above the Nine Heavens, Divine Thunder flashed, signifying the consecration of the Sanctuary vow and the witness of the Heavenly Dao. Even if they harbored thoughts of killing Logan in their hearts and instead directed others to do their bidding, they would not escape the vision of the Heavenly Dao.

“That settles everything. This matter concerns everyone’s lifespan. I don’t want any slip-ups. There’s no time to lose, let’s set out immediately!”

After everything was agreed upon, the Holy Daoist let out a heartfelt sigh of relief. No matter how harsh Logan’s conditions were, they were ultimately accepted.

It was a good thing for everyone involved since, besides Logan, could they truly find another alchemist of the Grandmaster’s caliber in this wide world? Upon introspection, the answer was definitively impossible. Someone like Logan was probably unique in this world.

Dozens of Sanctuary Powerhouses nodded their heads, and then their figures disappeared. Having been trapped in the Ancient Secret Realm for decades, they naturally wanted to return to see old friends and relatives and then immediately set about gathering the required materials; their lifespans were indeed running out.

The most urgent among them had a mere three months of life left, oil spent and lamp dried. Without a method to extend their life, they could only die with regrets. The Holy Daoist had hoped that each of the members would collect two types of materials, taking it upon himself to gather dozens of kinds to speed up the process.

Before going to the Immortal Realm with the Holy Daoist, Logan suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing that he had forgotten something—Bart Cloud was still waiting at the entrance of the Ancient Secret Realm.

“Hold on, I need to make a trip to find someone first!” Now that Logan was in the Quasi-Saint Realm, it took him less than a minute to traverse a hundred miles, and he thought of Bart Cloud.

These past few days, Bart Cloud had been steadfastly guarding the entrance to the Ancient Secret Realm, not daring to slack for a moment, for fear that Logan might come out and he would miss it. Moreover, it was the snowy period of the Extreme Cold Lands, making it exceptionally frigid and chilling to the bone, leaving Bart Cloud trembling.

As Logan appeared, he walked over and said, “You don’t have to wait here; you can go to the edge of the Extreme Cold Lands, where it’s a bit warmer, right?”

“No, I cannot move a step away!” Seeing Logan safe and sound, Bart Cloud immediately showed a smile, yet he was also incredibly adamant.

“Although I’ve come out of the Ancient Secret Realm, I might have to make a trip to the Immortal Realm with someone. The experts in the Immortal Realm are even more numerous than in the Ancient Secret Realm, so I cannot take you with me this time. You are only in the Dominator Realm, and I fear for your safety,” Logan explained.

After a long sigh looking at Bart Cloud, Logan said, “You go find a place to train. Later, meet at the Saint Sky Sect in the Central Region. My Space Storage Bag has plenty of resources you can use.”

Logan threw the Space Storage Bag to Bart Cloud. Remembering that the Holy Daoist was waiting for him, he prepared to teleport away. Bart Cloud could only give a bitter smile, understanding that was all he could do.

Bart Cloud felt very inferior at the moment. Even though he was in the Dominator Realm, which was far ahead of ordinary cultivators, he felt ashamed in comparison to Logan. Logan had become even more powerful than before, likely not even considering the Sanctuary Powerhouses worth noticing.

“”””

Even though he was just one of Logan’s guards, the disparity in Cultivation Realms meant that he wasn’t even qualified to follow by Logan’s side. A conviction surged within Bart Cloud’s heart, he must strengthen his own Cultivation Realm as quickly as possible, hoping that one day he could be of help to Logan.

After reuniting with Holy Daoist, the two of them started discussing the Immortal Realm, an area Logan was completely unfamiliar with. Originally, he had thought that the strongest place in the Ancient World was the Central Region, and that the highest Cultivation Realm was the Sanctuary Powerhouse. But now, it was clear that was not the case, and his understanding had already been shattered.

“The Immortal Realm is located in the Eastern Territory, tens of thousands of meters above the Eastern Sea, and even if ordinary people get there, they can’t see it. It requires a special method to be opened, just like the Ancient Secret Realm.”

Since Holy Daoist had once visited the Immortal Realm, he briefed Logan, “In short, we both must be extremely careful not to cause even the slightest trouble, otherwise, once we get into trouble, it will be hard to leave.”

“Cloud Sky Sect is also in the Eastern Territory, and the Eastern Territory is rampant with the Demon Path. If the Immortal Realm is not far from the Eastern Territory, why has it been overlooked all these years!”

Logan asked curiously, but Holy Daoist could only smile wryly. Although the Eastern Territory and the Eastern Sea were very close, to put it simply, they were only in the same direction, not really the same place. Besides, the Immortal Realm is a self-contained small world and doesn’t interfere in worldly conflicts.

“And do you know? Although the forces of the righteous and the demonic have always been at odds, they have also always been in balance. The sects of the righteous path can’t possibly wipe out all of the Demon Path because once there’s an imbalance, a new crisis will emerge. It would be better to drive them to the desolate lands of the Western Wasteland and the Eastern Territory,” Holy Daoist explained in detail.

Logan still didn’t understand, despite the detailed explanation. Holy Daoist had no choice but to be more direct, “Over the long years, the righteous sects have had quite a number of Sanctuary Powerhouses, while on the side of the Demon Sects, there are only three or four respectable figures.”

“Why don’t the sects of the righteous path join forces? First, the battles between Sanctuary Powerhouses are very complex, it’s not just about the numerical difference. On the other hand, if the Demon Sects were to be exterminated, human nature will inevitably change, and the sects of the righteous path would fall into internal strife.”

“Because the Demon Sects exist, even when the righteous path sects are at odds, they have to unite, fearing that if they start fighting each other, the Demon Path will take advantage. So even after so many years, apart from fighting with the Demon Path, the righteous path sects have been relatively peaceful.”

Logan was a smart man, and he soon understood the whole story. It was a technique of maintaining balance, an unspoken agreement among the Sanctuary Powerhouses of the righteous path. However, this tactic might have worked before, but now the Demon Sects had learned their lesson, and this move had long been ineffective.

Just like the recent actions of the Demonic Sky Gate and the Blood Drinking Sect, they would not be foolish enough to make a move themselves. Instead, they would first instigate some sects to fight, reaping the benefits from the sidelines. If it weren’t for Logan’s intervention, these two sects might have already succeeded.

“It’s more than a day’s journey to reach the Immortal Realm. A hundred years have passed, and I’m not sure if we can still find the Immortal Realm smoothly. We should visit Cloud Sky Sect when we have the chance; as the leading sect of the Eastern Territory, they must know.”

Holy Daoist then moved on from the topic, but his words left Logan speechless. Did they really have to make a trip to Cloud Sky Sect? Since Cloud Sky Sect was aware, why didn’t Holy Daoist directly ask Cloud Sky Taoist? Cloud Sky Taoist was the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Sky Sect.

“Just like me, Cloud Sky Taoist was trapped in the Ancient Secret Realm for decades, and nobody can guarantee whether there have been changes in the Eastern Sea over the years.”

Holy Daoist spread his hands as he spoke. Although the Immortal Realm has always been above the Eastern Sea, it is a small world that keeps changing.

The two had already left the Extreme Cold Lands and needed to go to the Central Region first, then to the Eastern Territory. Only the Central Region had long-range Teleportation Arrays.

Actually, with the Realm of the Sanctuary Powerhouse, they wouldn’t need a Teleportation Array. Using the Space Law, they could travel a hundred miles in an instant, and they could reach the Eastern Sea within a day. But Holy Daoist did not want to waste his energy. To them, each use of Spiritual Energy depleted their life force.

He didn’t have much time for such exertions. Although he was the youngest among dozens of Sanctuary Powerhouses, after calculating, he had at most a year to live.
