Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 626: Chapter 388 To the Middle_2

After taking a dozen steps, Peregrine Azure suddenly turned back and hesitated for a long time before speaking, “If one day, Saint Sky Sect were to face a situation like the one in the Western Wasteland, would you, recalling today’s friendship, help the Saint Sky Sect? This is an unreserved request of mine.”

“Of course, we’ll do our best,” the several Lords replied almost instantly after a moment of stunned silence, stating their position. No matter what, in dealing with the Demonic Sky Gate, Peregrine Azure had contributed effort, and if the Saint Sky Sect were to be in trouble, it would likely affect the Western Wasteland within a few days.

“With these words, I am at ease,” Peregrine Azure revealed a trace of a smile. If Saint Sky Sect had the backing of Western Wasteland Sects, even if the Sects of the Central Region targeted Saint Sky Sect, it would certainly be to no avail.

Just hope that it doesn’t come to that? Saint Sky Sect doesn’t wish to be enemies with any Sects. Throughout the many years in the Central Region, it has never offended any Sects and has been dedicated to resolving the issues with the Demon Path Schools. Over the years, it may not be said that their merits are significant, but at least a substantial amount of goodwill has been accumulated.

From the Central Region to the Western Wasteland is a distance of ten thousand miles. Even though their cultivation realms are above the Dominator, to rush back to the Central Region still takes a day without any rest allowed on the way. Peregrine Azure, anxious and speedy, would travel a hundred meters with each step, while Logan and another person followed behind him.

Along the way, Logan also learned more about the situation in the Central Region from Peregrine Azure. The Saint Sky Sect, being one of the reputable righteous Sects in the Central Region, was being besieged by many Sects. Or, ever since the Demonic Sky Gate invaded, not just the Western Wasteland but the entire structure of the Central Region had suddenly changed.

Many Sects in the Central Region have been suppressed for a long time, but now all want a share of power. As long as they can defeat the righteous Sects headed by the Saint Sky Sect, they can enjoy an abundance of resources from the Central Region. Thus, dozens of Sects united, putting Saint Sky Sect in grave danger.

And behind these Sects is the shadow of the Blood Drinking Sect, which is also one of the Demon Cult Sects. However, unlike the Demonic Sky Gate, because the Blood Drinking Sect has always hidden very well, it has many enemies in the Central Region but hasn’t been forced to the Western Wasteland like the Demonic Sky Gate.

The reason the Central Region plunged into complete chaos is the interference of the Blood Drinking Sect. Otherwise, those Sects would not have dared to provoke the likes of Saint Sky Sect, the leading righteous Sects. After all, they’d dared no such thing for hundreds of years, and this time around, it was merely the Demonic Sky Gate acting as the vanguard.

After understanding everything, Logan curiously asked, “Are those Sects very strong? But doesn’t the Saint Sky Sect have at least three Quasi-Saints? This would count as an exceptional force anywhere. Plus, you are not the only reputable righteous Sect, surely there are many more.”

Even if the Central Region had only three or four Sects similar to the Saint Sky Sect, collectively, there would be at least a dozen or so Quasi-Saints. Do the other forces really have the courage to challenge them? Even if the Blood Drinking Sect agitates from the shadows, surely the majority of Sect Heads would not be so easily swayed.

“Why have Sects that are as exceptional as the Saint Sky Sect been able to proclaim themselves as orthodox and righteous? Aside from acting with justice, it’s also because they have Holy Sees. Now with the Supreme Elder absent, word outside is that most Holy Sees have gone to the Ancient Secret Realm.”

Peregrine Azure wryly smiled and explained to Logan, “When those medium-scale forces combine, they have at least thirty-plus Quasi-Saint Seats. If the Holy Sees of the Central Region were around, they would never have the courage. The Blood Drinking Sect’s agitation would have been pointless regardless, but now the situation is different.”

“The news of the Demonic Sky Gate’s destruction should intimidate the Blood Drinking Sect once it reaches the Central Region, shouldn’t it? Those Sects should also cease their activities!” Bart Cloud voiced his curiosity, since everything had started with the Demonic Sky Gate. With stability returned to the Western Wasteland, how could the forces in the Central Region cause any disturbances?

“Once they’ve taken that step, there’s no turning back. Indeed, the demise of the Demonic Sky Gate will frighten them, but it will also drive them to greater insanity. According to the message from the Sect Leader yesterday, only the alliance of the five great orthodox Sects has managed to temporarily stabilize the situation,” Peregrine Azure responded.

No matter if the Demonic Sky Gate is annihilated or not, they would not step back because of this alone. After all, Saint Sky Sect and other orthodox Sects would settle their scores come autumn. The Blood Drinking Sect, always concealed in darkness, could thus perfectly hide its presence, unlike those provoked Sects of the Central Region.

Noncommittal, Bart Cloud expressed his wonder, “Why have so many Holy Sees gone to the Ancient Secret Realm? To chase after a chance for a slight increase in their realm, can it really work out?”

“For cultivators, as long as there is a slim chance of hope, they will never give up, especially when it comes to reaching the Holy See, no one is willing to accept the exhaustion of their lifespan.”

Logan sighed. In fact, he was the same, if one day his life was nearing its end, he would certainly think of various ways as well.

“Right, in addition to sects, the Western Wasteland is managed by Lords who oversee tens of thousands of commoners. Do you mean to say that the Central Region has only sects?”

This point made Logan extremely curious. After all, the entire Central Region stretched for millions of miles. If there were only sects, it surely would not be so prosperous. Sects always prioritize interests; how could they possibly develop like a pool does? Even a righteous sect such as the Saint Sky Sect would be the same.

Peregrine Azure was taken aback for a moment, looked at Logan for a long time, and said in confusion, “You don’t know about this? The Central Region also has Lords, and they are elected by the five major first-rate sects. They are usually held by those of the Holy See. It’s just that for many years, Sanctuaries Powerhouses were reluctant to take over this mess.”

“Therefore, currently, there is no one managing it. About a decade ago, there was a competent Vice Lord in the Central Region. Although only at the Quasi-Saint strength, he managed everything orderly, allowing many Loose Cultivators and commoners in the Central Region to obtain cultivation resources. However, he offended many sects and was pursued and went missing.”

“Conflict between sects requires someone to stand up.” There is no absolute justice among sects. Even if sects like the Saint Sky Sect are maintaining order, each sect has very different ideas. Continuing this way will plunge the entire Central Region into chaos.

In the past, perhaps the presence of a Sanctuary Powerhouse kept everything peaceful. Now, it’s different — the entire Central Region lacks a Sanctuary Powerhouse, leading to a series of glaring issues surfacing. Of course, Logan, is just a passerby, so pondering this further is pointless.

After a day’s travel, the three finally arrived in the Central Region. Compared to the Western Wasteland, the Central Region was indeed too prosperous. Even though they were still a hundred miles from the nearest city in the Central Region, anyone they passed along the way was at the Throne Realm.

In the Western Wasteland, this was an unthinkable sight. After all, a typical cultivator in the Western Wasteland would be at the level of Myth; a first-rate cultivator could reach the Transcendent Tier, and only those who had cultivated for over a hundred years could step into the Throne Realm. As for the Dominator Realm, it’s a one-in-ten-thousand rarity.

But Logan let it go. After all, the Central Region is a land of plenty. The Rule and Spiritual Energy in the air are several times stronger than in the Western Wasteland, especially with the chance encounters in Secret Lands and treasures of heaven and earth, making the cultivators here generally of higher Realm, which is indeed a natural advantage.

The three continued on their way. Due to the complex power dynamics in the entire Central Region, they had to use a Teleportation Array nearby to return to the territory of the Saint Sky Sect. However, as soon as they arrived at a medium-sized Teleportation Array, they were stopped by a group of guards, who said they could not use the teleportation.

“Why not? The Teleportation Array isn’t governed by any sect, is it?” Peregrine Azure frowned, clearly taken aback at being stopped.

“It seems you’re coming from the Western Wasteland. Recently, too many people have been seeking refuge here. What if you are the remnants of the Demonic Sky Gate with ulterior motives? Also, with the sects of the Central Region at odds with each other, to avoid any mishap, nearly all Teleportation Arrays can’t be used at will.”

The guard casually explained, and seeing that the group still had no intention of leaving, he raised an eyebrow, “Hey, can’t you understand what I’m saying? Want to bet I’ll take action?”

As the captain of the guard of this city, his cultivation was indeed formidable, having reached the Dominator Realm, which lent him an intense aura of authority, and his terrifying presence emerged.

“I am a person of the Saint Sky Sect!” Peregrine Azure said, suppressing his rage. He didn’t want to deal with the guard but he also did not have the time to delay. The Teleportation Array should be accessible to all forces in the Central Region, as long as they pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones. On what grounds could he say they were not allowed to pass?
