After all, there is always a bigger fish. Jared had only become a Tribulator cultivator, so favonovel.com wasn’t exactly undefeatable in the Ethereal Realm.
“The opening of the Celestial Battlefield on Demonia Mountain wouldn’t be the same as any other location, without any rules to speak of, Mr. Chance. The six major factions on Demonia Mountain have already achieved an agreement with the various clans and cultivators in the same area… No random individual will be given entry to the Celestial Battlefield on Demonia Mountain. Only those who possess a token will be able to get there…”
“This method will ward off some wandering cultivators and cultivators from other regions. Unless they are willing to offer some resources, they can’t get it. An entrance fee, so to speak. This way, the cultivators and clans in the southern region will gain a natural advantage and even obtain extra resources. Blood Spirit Valley, as one of the major factions on Demonia Mountain, naturally has a limited amount of tokens we can distribute to people we deem worthy. I can assure you that you will be able to enter the Celestial Battlefield first,” said Igor.
His words stunned Hamish, Jared, and the others.
“Why would the cultivators in the southern region agree to cooperate with you Demonic Cultivators?” asked Misho, puzzled.
“Why not? If we work together, everyone benefits from this arrangement. If we don’t, then it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone. No one will say no to extra resources, so they complied. Don’t forget that many people tend to value benefits over most things…”
“If the Celestial Battlefield is located in your territory, and some Demonic Cultivators propose to work with you to make the best out of it, will you turn them down?” Igor sneered.
Misho grew silent because favonovel.com agreed with Igor’s words. After all, the Demon Seal Alliance, an organization with the goal of eliminating the Demonic Cultivators, ultimately worked with them.
If that could happen, then why couldn’t any group cooperate with the Demonic Cultivators under the right circumstances?
“This is better. With order, massacres can be avoided. If there is no order, then Demonia Mountain will surely become a hellish place littered with death,” remarked Jared.
The entire Ethereal Realm now lacked order. While the realm’s five major territories were governed by someone, the rulers tended to care more about their cultivation than anything. If they didn’t care about their territory, then certainly no one else would.
“Let’s go. Follow me. No one will stop us when we enter the Celestial Battlefield together,” said Igor.
The crowd exchanged glances before settling their gazes on Misho and Hamish. After all, they were all human cultivators, so they felt a little uncomfortable following the Demonic Cultivators.
However, if they refused to comply, then they wouldn’t be able to enter the Celestial Battlefield because they were outsiders, thereby rendering their journey futile.
Misho and Hamish glanced at each other, not daring to speak up.
Upon seeing that, Jared realized those people also wanted to enter the Celestial Battlefield but didn’t want to bear the responsibility of saying it. After all, there was still a barrier between Demonic Cultivators and human cultivators.
“I’ll follow Mr. Lothian in. If anyone tries to use this as an excuse to cause trouble after we return, ask them to meet me.” Jared took the initiative to bear the responsibility.
When the crowd saw this, they agreed and were willing to follow along.
“Very well… Since all of you are willing to join me, we’ll set off right away. We’ll first gather at Creston Sect and wait there for the opening of the Celestial Battlefield. Once we arrive, there will be no more difference between humans and demons. No one is allowed to start any private fights. Several prestigious families in the Demonia Mountain region will also be present, so the other human cultivators will restrain themselves. Even if you encounter your nemesis, please do not act violently…”
“Remember, even if you still have a prejudice against Demonic Cultivators, you must behave yourselves. Remind yourselves that you’re here for treasures, not petty fights,” reminded Igor.
The crowd nodded. Since they had chosen to follow Igor, they naturally had to obey his commands.
Before long, they set off for Creston Sect, with Igor leading the way.
