Chapter 673: Chapter 412 Cracking the 【Stele】 _1

“`

“How can these traitors collude with the Blood Drinking Sect? The righteous sects and the Demon Path are irreconcilable enemies. It’s all because we old bones have been trapped in this Ancient Secret Realm.”

Many Sanctuary Powerhouses were furious, unable to fathom how so many sects could betray their principles and join the Blood Drinking Sect. Have they forgotten the undying hatred?

Had they had the chance to leave this place, they’d have dealt with their own sects harshly, enforcing a strict reorganization to purge the influence of the Blood Drinking Sect.

Holy Daoist remained calm and asked, “If what you say is true, then the power amassed by the Blood Drinking Sect must be formidable. The Saint Sky Sect and other sects couldn’t possibly stand against them, could they?”

“Of course not. In the end, I took action and set up an array which resolved the issue of the Blood Drinking Sect Leader; the rest, a mere mob, were easily taken care of. As for those hundred-plus sect leaders, it wasn’t an act of the Saint Sky Sect but a consequence of the Blood Drinking Sect Leader’s blood sacrifice to his Dantian,”

Logan said with a faint smile, explaining to everyone, “As for why, the twists and turns are too complex to explain in a few words. In short, they turned against each other!”

“Meanwhile, the Saint Sky Sect has been reorganizing the Central Region. Now, the entire Central Region has regained its prosperity. Those hundred-plus sects, having lost their leaders, are under the protection of the Saint Sky Sect. No sect would dare to target them, as the Saint Sky Sect seeks to preserve their inheritances, not wishing for those sects to be annihilated because of this.”

After Logan had finished speaking, everyone sighed in astonishment. There were also voices of skepticism. What Logan described was profoundly mystical, and the key point was that Logan had turned the tide, something quite out of the ordinary. Everyone could see that Logan was merely a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

In the Central Region, there are so many Quasi-Saint Powerhouses that even the Saint Sky Sect and a few other great sects couldn’t resolve the crisis. And you’re telling us that the Blood Drinking Sect Leader fell to Logan’s hand at his first move? Even boasting should have its limits, and don’t think that since we’re in the Ancient Secret Realm, everyone will believe whatever you say.

“Young friend, could you tell us the facts? I believe you indeed contributed, but to claim all merit for yourself doesn’t seem right, nor is it something anyone would believe,”

One of the Sanctuary Powerhouses sneered with disdain, shaking his head. “I’ve seen too many Heavenly Prides through the ages, but never one as preposterous as you. A person should remain grounded in reality.”

“Every word I’ve spoken is true; whether you believe it or not is your business!” Logan’s expression turned cold as well, having no patience for this person. Even as a Sanctuary Powerhouse, he still mocked others like the common folk, wholly lacking the demeanor of a Strong One.

Wexler Daoist naturally stepped forward, speaking in Logan’s favor, “I believe in Logan. He just arrived today and has already helped me through the first challenge. I’ve been trapped here for a hundred years, and I fear that many Sanctuary Powerhouses are still stuck on the first challenge and haven’t arrived.”

“Less than a day?” Everyone was dumbfounded. This was even more unbelievable than Logan saving Central Region. If the likelihood of a Dominator Realm resolving the crisis in Central Region was one in ten thousand, passing the first challenge in just one day was nothing short of miraculous, a miracle beyond what all Sanctuary Powerhouses present could achieve.

“Among the several dozen Sanctuary Powerhouses here, isn’t each one remarkably capable? Yet almost all have been trapped here for decades. Even I, slightly luckier, spent a full five years to get through,”

Holy Daoist looked at Logan with new respect and bowed reverently, “You certainly are not lying. After all, I only entered the Ancient Secret Realm ten years ago, and I hadn’t heard about you before that. You must have risen in the recent decade, and indeed, the Ancient Secret Realm just opened today.”

“There’s no need for doubt. I myself traveled from Saint Sky Sect through the Extreme Cold Lands over the past decade. There were twenty Sanctuary Powerhouses at that time, and this young friend here wasn’t among them. So, he must be from this recent decade, truly a one-in-a-million prodigy.”

Holy Daoist spoke righteously, and among the twenty who came ten years ago, he was the only one who reached the second challenge. The rest were still trapped at the first one. He had always been proud of taking only five years to reach the second challenge, but when compared to Logan, he felt remarkably dull.

The other dozens took a sharp intake of breath. They had been certain not to believe, but after Holy Daoist’s confirmation, it seemed to truly be the case. The Ancient Secret Realm had just opened today, and if Logan had come in the previous decade, Holy Daoist would certainly know and wouldn’t need to lie.

In their shock, the crowd could only offer a bitter smile, unable to accept it. They, Sanctuary Powerhouses, had almost all been trapped for decades, yet Logan took merely a day. It was as if the Ancient Secret Realm was specifically designed for Logan; truly, comparison is the thief of joy.

The eldest among the Sanctuary Powerhouses suddenly lost his composure, “I’ve been trapped for three hundred years; my lifespan should have ended long ago. I’ve been clinging to life, hoping to seize an opportunity, but to be outdone by such a junior—it’s just too unfair, isn’t it?”

Seeing him about to attack Logan, Wexler Daoist and Holy Daoist quickly intervened. If Logan truly had great skill, as he easily passed the first challenge, perhaps he could do the same with the second. Since everyone had been stuck at this second challenge for so long, this sudden hope couldn’t be ruined.

“Young friend, you mentioned using an array—could it be that you are an Array Master? If so, could you first try to break the mystery of this stele?”

Cloud Sky Daoist stepped forward and pointed to the stele, saying, “We have studied it here for several years to no avail. This is a dilapidated palace, and the only anomaly is this stele. There’s not a single word on it, yet it seems imbued with endless mysteries.”
