Female Novel
Chapter 3351
Jared turned to Igor. If Creston Sect did deliberately leak the news, then there might be somethinggoing on.
Igor was aware of the crowd’s distrust toward the Demonic Cultivators, so he explained, “The CelestialBattlefield is filled with dangers we cannot anticipate. It’s not as simple as waltzing in and grabbingwhatever you see. This matter depends heavily on luck. It’s not guaranteed you’ll be fortunate enoughto stumble across a magical item merely because you entered the Celestial Battlefield. Nothing iscertain. This is basically a gamble, so Creston Sect shared the news and cooperated with otherDemonic Cultivators as well as human sects to manage the entrance to the Celestial Battlefield.
If someone wants to pass through, they’ll have to pay up. Won’t you agree that collecting resources is amuch safer bet than entering the Celestial Battlefield itself? It’s a foolproof plan. They will obtainresources no matter what, and outsiders won’t have to risk their lives further just to sneak into theCelestial Battlefield. Besides, it doesn’t matter to them whether the news is leaked. They can still enterthe Celestial Battlefield regardless, and it’s all up to luck whether one can find magical items inside.”
His explanation enlightened the crowd.
The Celestial Battlefield was akin to a goldmine. Indeed, the people who discovered it could mine theplace themselves, but there was no guarantee it would be a fruitful endeavor. Additionally, they mightface the risk of it collapsing.
However, if they spread the news about the goldmine and cooperated with others to facilitate themining, they could collect entry fees while still having access to the place. In other words, even if theyfailed to extract any gold, they’d still have generated a profit.
“The leader of Creston Sect has such good business sense.” Jared smiled.
“I heard the head of Creston Sect used to be a businessman conducting sales of various resources. It’sbecause of this he successfully kept Creston Sect in good shape,” Igor said.
While other cultivators had a prejudice against the Demonic Cultivators, they weren’t that opposed toconducting business with them. After all, not much danger was involved. Also, human cultivatorsneeded many things that the demons possessed.
Jared’s group walked into Creston Sect, which was built with different types of wood and stone. Despiteits rather remote location, the buildings were pretty grand.
Creston Sect was humongous, about the size of a small town. The place was surrounded by arcanearrays to deter demon beasts from approaching.
Upon entering Creston Sect, Jared noticed plenty of human cultivators and Demonic Cultivatorsstrolling down the street.
There were a number of members from the beast race there, too. Though three different races weremingling with each other, everything appeared to be harmonious. There were no signs of conflictanywhere. A sight like that couldn’t have existed elsewhere.
The Demonic Cultivators there needn’t hide their aura and could live openly. Some even peddled stuffby the street, selling items that human cultivators and members of the beast race needed. Of course,the Demonic Cultivators were obviously ranked higher there because it was their territory.
Many strutted around with their heads held high. Once the group was inside, Igor turned to Hamish,Misho, and the others. “You guys find a place to rest first. It’ll be days before the Celestial Battlefieldopens. I’ll be taking Jared to meet with the leader of Creston Sect.”
When they heard that, they appeared to be somewhat hesitant. They turned to Jared. They were afraidIgor would ditch them in the end and only bring Jared into the Celestial Battlefield.novelbin
“Worry not, Mr. Chevalier, Old Mr. Giuvali. Find a place to settle down first. Once things are ready, I’llcontact you two again. We’re a team. I won’t abandon you all,” reassured Jared sincerely.
