Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 703: Chapter 427: Black Myth?_1

The old man appeared, and his terrifying aura intimidated everyone present; Logan shivered, recognizing that the other’s strength was undoubtedly above that of the Holy See.

Seeing the newcomer, the crowd respectfully bowed: “Lord Blackwood City Master, it wasn’t our intention to fight, but these two outsiders were too presumptuous!”

“I’ve seen everything that just happened and understand who is at fault. It’s just that the matter of Cloud Valley is pressing, and I have no wish to lose my temper lightly!”

The old man swept his gaze over everyone, word by word he said: “Everyone disperse. Of course, if anyone is confident in resolving the crisis of Cloud Valley, you may go to the Guard at the residence of Blackwood City Master to register.”

Nobody dared to speak again, and in the blink of an eye, thousands had already left. Now only Logan and his companion, as well as the old man, remained in the area.

“Are the two of you from the outside world?” Blackwood City Master then directed his gaze towards Logan and his companion. Despite seeming very amiable, his gaze was laced with immense pressure.

The Holy Daoist nodded, speaking with neither humility nor arrogance: “Yes, we came to the Immortal Realm to travel. A rift opened in the Eastern Sea a few days ago, I realized that something had befallen the Immortal Realm, so naturally I had to come and investigate—after all, if the Immortal Realm really collapsed, the entire outer world would suffer the ripple effects.”

“There are rules in the Immortal Realm, and those from the outer world who come here are inevitably pursued and killed. Although you are of the Saint Seat Realm, you don’t count as a top Strong One in the Immortal Realm!”

Blackwood City Master snorted coldly, unleashing a forceful pressure. The Holy Daoist, despite being a Sanctuary Powerhouse, perspired profusely from his forehead, and Logan, beside him, turned even paler.

But in the next moment, Blackwood City Master relaxed again: “Considering the crisis in Cloud Valley, your presence in the Immortal Realm is understandable. I’ll let this matter slide. Resolving the rift in the Immortal Realm might require the help of a Powerhouse from the outer world. The Immortal Realm can no longer remain closed off!”

“I overheard your earlier remarks; it seems you might have a solution?” Blackwood City Master changed the subject, and asked: “If so, you will be handsomely rewarded!”

The Holy Daoist did not answer. With his own abilities, clearly, he couldn’t solve the Cloud Valley rift. Logan might be capable, but the Daoist was unsure of Logan’s intentions, so naturally, he couldn’t speak out.

“Some things can’t be hidden from me. Your visit to the Immortal Realm must be for more than just observing the rift. I see that your lifespan is running short—could it be that you are hoping to breakthrough with the help of the Immortal Realm?”

Blackwood City Master smiled faintly, speaking earnestly: “As long as you can resolve it, one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones and a Half-step Emperor Weapon will be yours—consider it carefully! The Law within the Spirit Stones is sufficient to prolong your life.”

A Half-step Emperor Weapon? Upon hearing this, the Holy Daoist’s eyes lit up with shock. Emperor Weapons were generally forged by Saint Emperor Powerhouses and were renowned Divine Artifacts. Although Half-step Emperor Weapons were not as potent as Emperor Weapons, they still possessed half the strength, more than enough to make countless Sanctuary Powerhouses vie for them.

“If the Cloud Valley rift were to widen, the whole Immortal Realm might cease to exist. Isn’t this offer a bit stingy? It’d be hard to get real experts to act for so little!”

Logan came forward, although surprised by what Blackwood City Master had proposed, he was not shocked. He knew that if time went on, the reward would surely double.

“The Immortal Realm isn’t just our Blackwood City’s concern. If you can resolve it, the two great forces of the Immortal Realm will also have rewards, and they will be heavier than mine. The Immortal Celestial Gate is especially generous.”

Blackwood City Master glanced at Logan with a hint of astonishment: “Interesting. A mere Quasi-Saint dares to set foot in the Immortal Realm? A Quasi-Saint doesn’t have the Space Law to escape!”

“I am an Array Master. I’ll go!” Initially, Logan wanted to directly ask for the Immortal Fruit. After thinking it over, he decided against it, preferring to see if he could get it himself first. After all, if the other party disagreed, wouldn’t that startle the snake? It wouldn’t be advantageous for the upcoming plans.

“Array Masters may be rare, but there are also many in the Immortal Realm. What we need is a first-rate Array Master, a Grandmaster capable of repairing the Cloud Valley rift!”

Blackwood City Master was unimpressed. If just any Array Master could do it, he would simply capture one from the outer world—why bother going through all this trouble?

Now, even with all the Powerhouses from the entire Immortal Realm gathered, no one could resolve the Cloud Valley rift, and as it worsened day by day, everyone was weary.

“I once quelled two Sanctuary Powerhouses with arrays in the Western Wasteland and Central Region, and at that time I was only at the Dominator Realm. This can all be verified. What do you think of my level in array mastery?”

Logan casually stated, indicating that his proficiency in arrays was higher than his Realm achieved. Since advancing to the Quasi-Saint, if he were to construct an array like the Spirit Gathering Array again, he would be able to tackle over a dozen Sanctuary Powerhouses even without an Emperor Weapon.

“Is that really true?” Shock filled Blackwood City Master’s eyes. He had seen the suppression of Saint Seats before; in the Immortal Realm, there are at least a hundred if not eighty Saint Seats, not considered top Strong Ones.

The only thing that was shocking was Logan’s Realm at the time. If there was not the slightest lie or exaggeration, it was enough to prove that his mastery of arrays was above that of a Master, possibly even a Grandmaster.

Logan nodded, and Blackwood City Master immediately surmised: “Indeed, there is a young Heavenly Pride from the outer world who destroyed two major Demon Sects. So, it was you!”

“Tomorrow morning, Blackwood City will lead a group of Powerhouses to Cloud Valley. You two may come along. If the Cloud Valley rift can be resolved, the rewards I promised earlier will be credited to you, and I will owe you a Favor, attempting to fulfill one of your requests!”

Blackwood City Master took Logan and his companion back to the residence, arranging living quarters for them. With Logan having proven his worth, everything necessary was provided.
