Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 752: Chapter 451: Emperor of the Spirit?_2

“In any case, everyone need not worry anymore; the Monster Beast Clan won’t make a move against the Human race. With my skills in arranging arrays, I am confident in this aspect,” Logan assured them.

After Logan finished speaking, the more than twenty people present were full of admiration. It had to be said that Logan was bold to dare to venture alone into the Demon Beast Secret Realm. If they were to put themselves in his shoes, even if they possessed the same abilities as Logan, they probably wouldn’t have the guts to do so.

Holy Daoist sighed deeply, knowing that the few words Logan spoke must have skimmed over countless dangers. After all, how could something that left the Monster Beast Clan helpless be a trivial matter? They, a group of the Holy See, felt ashamed in front of Logan—he was the true hero.

Later, Logan pulled Holy Daoist aside, “What about these more than twenty members of the Holy See? If we let them stay among the Human race, they may behave recklessly. Now that their lifespans have been extended by a hundred years, they will likely be even more unbridled. We must think of a solution.”

“I have been considering this for the past two days, but we can’t just keep them by our side forever, right? Everyone came together for the Holy Life Elixir, and it makes sense for them to disperse now. That’s why I’m so troubled, and I have no idea how to restrain them,” replied Holy Daoist with a wry smile.

The Holy Daoist chuckled bitterly to himself. He was well aware of these matters. Especially since he came from the Saint Sky Sect, which has always upheld the principle of healing the world and had no tolerance for evil deeds or people. It was precisely because of this that they had been fighting against the Demon Sect for thousands of years.

“For the members of the Holy See, the only thing on their minds is to raise their realm. But not everyone thinks that way; some just want to be unrestrained for once,” Logan said thoughtfully after a long pause.

“In my opinion, I will set up a Spirit Gathering Array here at the Barrier, to collect Spiritual Energy for everyone’s cultivation. Although it won’t be as grand as the one I set up in the Demon Beast Secret Realm, it will be sufficient. For those who wish to cultivate, it is an offer they cannot refuse,” Logan continued.

“And for those who don’t wish to stay, I suggest you supervise them quietly. Any who cause chaos and disaster must be dealt with mercilessly. This is the best scenario. However, when you act, you must be decisive and not continuously give way, because you are just too kind by nature,” Logan added.

“Yes, this is a good solution,” Holy Daoist nodded in agreement. If they could gather the members of the Holy See together and have them concentrate on cultivation, nothing could be better. It would be a win-win situation that wouldn’t cause antipathy. On the contrary, they would be grateful to Logan.

Suddenly remembering something, Holy Daoist took out a book, “This is the rubbings of the Saint Emperor’s Book of Legacy, as I promised you before. I’ve only made this one copy; remember it must not be known to outsiders, otherwise all members of the Holy See would come to me for the Book of Legacy.”

“Don’t worry!” Holy Daoist accepted the Book of Legacy. In fact, he had nearly forgotten about this matter, and it was the Saint Emperor’s legacy that pleasantly surprised him so much, having a great significance for himself.

Once they had finished their discussion, Logan returned to the crowd and coughed to get their attention, “Everyone has only a hundred years of life, and all would like to take this time to break through their realms quickly. The problem is that the Human race’s Spiritual Energy is too scarce, unless you go to the Immortal Realm or the Demon Beast Secret Realm, which is definitely unrealistic.”

“So, I am thinking of forming a Spirit Gathering Array, to collect Spiritual Energy for everyone’s cultivation. Additionally, this Barrier in place will ensure safety. As long as no one stronger than the eighth layer of the Holy See comes, it will be absolutely safe here. I’d like to know—who is willing to stay?”

Upon hearing Logan’s proposal, the more than twenty people exchanged glances, and a majority of them were visibly excited, “Really? That would be perfect. I was planning to find a place to undergo a retreat for a few decades, and I’ve been worried about finding such a place. What’s there to worry about within this Barrier?”

Aside from Holy Daoist, out of the twenty-five people present, twenty-three agreed. Only two people, bound to their Sect, wanted to return to their Sect and therefore did not nod in agreement. This relieved Logan, as having only two people leave was very manageable, and the Holy Daoist alone could supervise them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Especially since one of them was Cloud Sky Taoist, whose Cloud Sky Sect had suffered an attack from the Orthodox Demonic Sect and was now left with only a hundred people. It was indeed necessary for him to return to his Sect to preside over its revival towards prosperity, and Logan knew Cloud Sky Taoist’s character very well; they were on good terms, after all.

Beyond this group of the Holy See, Mountain Saint Taoist hesitantly spoke up, “Could I… also stay? I’m not well-acquainted with you all, but I am certainly not a scoundrel.”

“Of course. When the Demon Race Envoy from the Monster Beast Clan came before, you stood guard over Logan the entire time, ensuring that the Holy Life Elixir could be successfully concocted. We all owe you a favor, how could we not trust you?”

Holy Daoist hastily said, “Mountain Saint Taoist’s character is decent enough. If anything happens while I’m gone, at least there’s someone who can take care of things and manage the overall situation.”

I’m only familiar with a few people like Wexler Daoist, and if these more than twenty Holy Sees cause trouble together, I definitely won’t be able to suppress it on my own.”

Logan nodded in agreement; his relationship with Mountain Saint Taoist had started because of the Qian Kun Bead, but now, it had grown stronger since he had saved Logan’s life, which made him truly acknowledge the other.

Mountain Saint Taoist was very happy. He had been cultivating for decades and had been stuck at the fifth level of the Holy See but had recently advanced to the sixth level thanks to the Holy Life Elixir. If he continued to cultivate within the Spirit Gathering Array, he would be able to break through again before long.

For him, any opportunity to increase his realm more quickly was welcome. He still had a large step to take to reach the ninth level of the Holy See. His entire life has been dedicated to cultivation, especially after reaching the Holy See. His only pursuit in this life was to ascend to the Saint Emperor Realm.

Logan then started to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array. Unlike in the Demon Beast Secret Realm where he used ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones to cover tens of thousands of miles, now he only needed to supply these twenty-plus Holy Sees, so an array of one li was sufficient. However, cultivation would surely require an even greater amount of Spiritual Energy.

Originally, he planned to use several tens of millions of ordinary Spirit Stones, which could last two to three years and increase the Spiritual Energy by two to three times, a level far surpassing the outside world, but after giving it some thought, he decided that he should be more generous. It would be best if the Spiritual Energy could also gather the Law’s Force.

Since Logan had obtained a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones from the Demon King, he decided to take out a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones to arrange the array. The difference between Top-Grade Spirit Stones and ordinary ones is like heaven and earth; generally, it’s a ten million-fold difference. A hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to setting up a hundred ordinary Spirit Gathering Arrays.

With a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Logan easily set up the array within one hour. Not only did the Spirit Gathering Array continuously amass Spiritual Energy, but because of the Law’s Force that the Top-Grade Spirit Stones carried, the Law’s Force also revolved within the array, making it easier to cultivate the Law’s Force.

The more than twenty Holy Sees were ecstatic; after trying to cultivate, they felt the efficacy had increased a hundredfold. This was even better than in the Ancient Secret Realm. A year of cultivation here was worth a century before. Everyone was tearfully grateful; Logan was truly too kind to them.

The crowd began their cultivation, and Logan also let out a sigh of relief. Now that the matter with the Holy Sees was resolved, he could go to the Immortal Realm with peace of mind.

Afterward, Logan said to Holy Daoist, “I have to take a trip to the Immortal Realm; I leave these matters in your hands. I hope that when I return from the Immortal Realm, I can make a breakthrough to the Holy See!”

“Don’t worry. With me here, there will surely be no problems,” Holy Daoist assured him, allowing Logan not to worry and to pursue his path of cultivation freely.

Given Logan’s talent, if he hadn’t been involved in these miscellaneous affairs and had been wholly dedicated to cultivation, he would not just be a Quasi-Saint but would have actually reached the Holy See already.

Of course, Holy Daoist didn’t know that Logan’s rapid progress in cultivation was not due to cultivation per se, but due to the experience and improvement he gained through various events along the way.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Logan went to the Eastern Territory. Because Cloud Sky Taoist was also returning to Cloud Sky Sect, the two of them traveled together.

Cloud Sky Taoist was extremely grateful to Logan. From the moment Logan had rescued them from the Ancient Secret Realm, he had owed him several debts of gratitude. Afterwards, when Logan helped resolve the issue with the Orthodox Demonic Sect at Cloud Sky Sect and saved the Sect, and even when he himself was on the brink of death, he was revived by the Holy Life Elixir.

After one day’s journey, the two arrived at the Eastern Territory. Since the Orthodox Demonic Sect had been eradicated, the Eastern Territory’s Great Sects now flourished. Although Cloud Sky Sect had suffered significant losses and only had a handful of members left, no one dared to provoke them. Instead, they were treated with exceptional respect.
