Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 759: Chapter 455: Discernment Listening_1

Arriving at the Immortal Realm, to his surprise, Logan found that Oliver Bennett had been waiting for a long time, yet he hadn’t told anyone before coming.

And the Blackwood City Master had asked him to come after half a month. Could Oliver Bennett have known in advance? Was this the power of a Half-step Saint Emperor? With such prophetic abilities, how strong must a true Saint Emperor be? Thinking about it, Logan felt incredibly insignificant.

Logan cupped his hands together and said, “Sect Leader Oliver is too polite. The affairs of Earth Profound Sect are already chaotic enough, with so much to handle every day, yet you went through the trouble of coming to greet me in person!”

“The matters of Earth Profound Sect are trivial. This sealing issue is the true trouble. If you can solve it, I would even split the Immortal Realm with you.”

Oliver Bennett wasn’t joking with Logan but spoke very seriously. It was precisely because of the gravity of the issue that Logan had proved his strength previously, prompting Oliver Bennett to hurry over. He did so in order to convey the urgency and importance of this matter to Logan.

“Really? Even you can’t resolve it?” Logan asked curiously. Oliver Bennett was already a Half-step Saint Emperor, on the brink of reaching the strongest realm, and yet, he was troubled by a seal? To promise half of the entire Immortal Realm to himself—setting aside whether this could be done—it revealed the urgency of the situation.

Could the person under the Seal be a true Saint Emperor? And perhaps they harbored deep hatred against the Immortal Realm; their first action upon release might be revenge? Yet, if a Saint Emperor was sealed, how powerful would the one who applied the Seal have to be? Likely a Saint Emperor as well.

If they had the ability to seal, why not directly kill instead of leaving behind a disaster? Was it due to inability, or did some accident occur?

With a sigh, he began to explain to Logan, “Actually, this is a long story, let’s return to the Immortal Celestial Gate first, and I’ll tell you everything there.”

Logan nodded and then followed Oliver Bennett to the Immortal Celestial Gate. This was his second visit to the Immortal Realm and the first time he had seen the full view of the Immortal Celestial Gate.

As the foremost sect in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Celestial Gate boasted an impressive presence, spanning over ten miles with no less than a hundred buildings, not to mention the nearby Secret Lands and cultivation sites arranged by great efforts. At this moment, Logan was astounded by everything he saw.

To cultivate within the Immortal Celestial Gate would surely surpass ordinary cultivators by ten thousand times. The Immortal Celestial Gate truly had capabilities, and Logan couldn’t help but admire them.

The Immortal Celestial Gate was located a hundred miles north of Blackwood City Master, the richest land in the Immortal Realm. It was rumored that the creator of the Immortal Realm had perished there.

Once the two reached the main hall, Oliver Bennett had someone bring over Immortal Tea: “First, rest for a moment. After all, the journey to the Immortal Realm must have been exhausting.”

“Go on and speak, I’m all ears,” Logan said as he took a sip of the tea. Instantly, its fragrance enveloped him and a surge of spiritual energy bubbled up. Truly worthy of the Immortal Realm.

“This matter dates back a long time ago, roughly a few thousand years. At that time, the major sects of the Immortal Realm were still minor, governed by the Master of the Immortal Realm, who was at the Saint Emperor Realm. Competing against the Immortal Realm was the land beyond the domain, with many powerful forces outside the Ancient World.”

“The person under the Seal came from the Sky Demon Sect, an external force intending to destroy the entire Ancient World. That was when the human race suffered heavy losses. Unable to stand by, our Master of Immortal Realm, facing only one member of the Sky Demon Sect, captured the opponent after a battle.”

“Such a tale is quite lamentable,” Logan remarked, clearly touched. He could imagine that back then, the Ancient World must have been in turmoil. Even though Logan was an outsider, only here to temper himself in the Ancient World, he had grown attached to it over time.

“Right, why not kill after capturing?” Logan had another question. After all the effort, and the gravity of the crimes committed, it seemed unjustifiable to spare a life. Was it for fear of retaliation from those beyond the domain, acting in the heat of the battle with no way of turning back?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Being both at the Saint Emperor Realm, and since this realm is extremely difficult to perish from, even if their divine soul shattered, they could recover in an instant. With no choice, the most powerful sealing technique was used, and help was requested from the strongest hundred members of the Holy See and scores of Array Masters to set up the Sealing Formation.”

Oliver Bennett sighed deeply and continued, “Moreover, should their soul lamp extinguish, the Sky Demon Sect would use all means from beyond the domain to come here. Conversely, by not killing them, should outsiders wish to come, they would not have specific coordinates and could never find our world.”

As for how that Elder of the Sky Demon Sect managed to arrive, no one knows. It could have been by chance that he obtained a map, or merely a coincidence, but even today, it remains a mystery.

“The Master of Immortal Realm warned everyone to guard the Seal vigilantly, that it must never be broken, otherwise, the entire Ancient World would face calamitous disaster. Suffering severe injuries from that battle, the Master of Immortal Realm perished after a century.”

“After that, the entire Immortal Realm began to vie with each other, each wanting to be the next Master. However, no one could break through to the Saint Emperor Realm, possibly due to the restrictions of the laws of this realm. After a hundred years of conflict, they gradually divided into several forces.”

“As a sect directly created by the Master of the Immortal Realm, after a century of strife, the Immortal Celestial Gate became the foremost power. The initial Sect Leader, with the half-step Saint Emperor Realm, dominated the Immortal Realm and, along with Earth Profound Sect, eradicated other major forces.”

“Since then, the Immortal Celestial Gate has taken the lead in guarding the Seal, Earth Profound Sect stationed on the other side, while the remnants of the other major forces united and lived in a city. Over time, more and more people of the Immortal Realm gathered there, forming what is now known as Blackwood City.”
