Chapter 765: Chapter 458: Ancestral Veins of the Nine Continents_1

“Sect Leader Tian, we understand,”

The disciples of Immortal Celestial Gate were ordered and dared not delay. They quickly left and hurried back to their sect, knowing the urgency of the matter.

The first rune was relatively simple, but the consumption of spirit stones would increase exponentially thereafter. If they failed due to the lack of spirit stones, Sect Leader Tian would definitely be furious.

Compared to the others who were pleased, the several tens of array masters naturally had embarrassed expressions. Logan had actually succeeded. Just a moment ago, all of them had looked over the seal and had not found any solution, even failing to discern its principle, while Logan had already started to reinforce it.

At this point, they could only pray, hoping that Logan would fail halfway through. Not only would this save face, but it might also save a life.

As for the second law, after pondering for a moment, Logan decided to use the Space Law. The Space Law is the most basic and most important structure of barriers and arrays. From the current law’s state of the seal, it seemed that the barrier’s laws should not dissipate so quickly.

But nothing is absolute. What if among the runes that had dropped earlier, there were some about Space Law? At this moment, Logan wished for each step to be steady.

In any case, even if the Space Law was still present, Logan’s infusion would only strengthen the Space Law, posing no harm to the barrier. With that in mind, Logan set to work.

The Space Law required immense Law’s Force, unlike the previous Law of Water which needed only a thousand top-grade spirit stones. At the very least, it would require a tenfold increase, which is ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.

Earlier, in the Demon Beast Secret Realm, even after building a Spirit Gathering Array that covered tens of thousands of miles, Logan had only spent ten thousand spirit stones. Now, because of just one law, the cost was indeed staggering.

After all, this was the Space Law, the foundation of the sealing barrier holding back a Saint Emperor Powerhouse. Nothing could be taken lightly. Logan could have opted for using one hundred top-grade spirit stones instead but that would significantly weaken the power. What if the other side broke through the barrier?

Logan looked toward Oliver Bennett and said, “We’re running out of spirit stones. We now need more than ten thousand for this one law alone. Hurry and go collect some!”

“More than ten thousand?” Hearing this number, Oliver Bennett was indeed shocked. This was only the second law; how could it suddenly require so many? And there were still two laws to go. If the number were to double again, even the entire Immortal Realm’s heritage would not suffice.

Although shocked, Oliver Bennett solemnly said, “Rest assured, I’ve already sent disciples back to the sect. In a moment, they will bring all the top-grade spirit stones.”

If it would strengthen the seal, even if it meant using up all the top-grade spirit stones of Immortal Celestial Gate, it was worth the cost. With life and death at stake, one could not afford to feel the slightest bit of regret.

“Blackwood City Master, you must return to Blackwood City to gather more top-grade spirit stones. I’m afraid what Immortal Celestial Gate has won’t be enough. Admittedly, we have more than ten thousand spirit stones on hand, but this is only the second law. If the next few laws need tens of thousands of spirit stones, then we really wouldn’t be able to produce any more.”

As a precaution, Oliver Bennett addressed the Blackwood City Master. Naturally, Blackwood City Master nodded. This was a crisis affecting the entire Immortal Realm; it wouldn’t do for the people of Blackwood City to stand by while Immortal Celestial Gate bore the burden alone. How could more than hundreds of thousands of people stand idly by? That would be indefensible.

Blackwood City Master also knew that, as a City Master, he could barely gather three thousand top-grade spirit stones. However, Blackwood City had hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, including numerous Family Clans and Sects. He believed that as long as he stepped forward, they would be willing to gather some spirit stones.

He estimated that if every person in Blackwood City gave him one stone, he would have at least several hundred thousand stones. Of course, the majority of Blackwood City’s population were ordinary cultivators who would not possess top-grade spirit stones. Even if they did, they would treasure them like rare Treasure, unlikely to part with them.

Even in a crisis situation for the Immortal Realm, it seemed like a far-off concern for them. They would rather hold on to their top-grade spirit stones, preferring turmoil over giving them up.

Therefore, Blackwood City Master’s target was set on those stronger than Semi-Saints. Blackwood City had about ten thousand such individuals. If they would do him the favor of donating three or four stones each, he could gather thirty to forty thousand top-grade spirit stones, and with the addition of some large Family Clans, there should be about fifty thousand.

As Blackwood City Master thought about this while hurrying on the road, he quickly returned to Blackwood City. The crisis in the Immortal Realm was not widely known within the city, and few were aware of the seal. Thus, as Blackwood City Master gathered the city’s residents, a buzz of discussion arose.

Outside the city gates, tens of thousands of people still filled the area, and Blackwood City Master stood atop the city wall, beginning his plea for resources.

“I have bad news to tell everyone. Our Immortal Realm is in dire peril. A seal from ancient times is on the verge of collapse within the next few days. Despite the joint efforts of many powerhouses from our Immortal Realm, it has been to no avail. If the seal were to break, the Saint Emperor Powerhouse trapped within will emerge, and disaster will befall everyone.”

“Do you all remember the last crisis in Cloud Valley? Logan stepped in and settled everything. This time, Logan has once again taken a stand. However, sealing requires a large amount of top-grade spirit stones. Immortal Celestial Gate has already contributed more than ten thousand, and this is a responsibility that falls on every person in the Immortal Realm. Those who have spirit stones should offer them.”

Oliver Bennett’s voice was sincere, moving each person: “As the City Lord, I should set an example. I will take out all my personal spirit stones. With our hundreds of thousands of Blackwood City residents, if you still acknowledge me as your City Lord, give me this favor, I beg you all.”

“Top-grade spirit stones?” The tens of thousands of people were stunned for a moment. After all, a single top-grade spirit stone was so precious that once given, it could not be retrieved.
