Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 647: A Joint Operation

’In the past, the Azure Serpent Realm was one of the most famous secret realms among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.’

Ethan still remembered his first time visiting the Azure Serpent Realm.

Back then, the Azure Serpent Realm was renowned throughout the surrounding regions.

Not because it was dangerous, but because it was the safest and most profitable.

The entire realm was filled with Azure Profound Grass—one of the main ingredients required to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

For Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, Azure Profound Grass was priceless.

Moreover, due to the treaty between the former Azure Serpent Leaders and the Greenfire Sect, no Golden Core Realm cultivator was allowed to enter the realm, whereas the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators couldn’t enter because of the realm’s restriction.

Such conditions made the Azure Serpent Realm a paradise for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

No pressure, no suppression, and no fear of stronger cultivators snatching resources.

Only competition among peers.

’That was why the Azure Serpent Realm flourished back then.’

However, everything changed when Ethan intervened.

When he was evolving the Azure Serpent Leaders, he had personally ordered them to forbid anyone from outside entering the realm.

At the same time, he wanted to use that opportunity to nurture more Azure Profound Grass with the help of his avatar, the Little Heavenly Farmer, and the Green Lotus Tribesmen that he revived.

Only by burying one million Perfect-Quality Azure Profound Grass could the Nature Spirit, Azuron, be awakened, and the Azure Serpent Realm become an official Grade 1 Secret Realm.

Because of that decision... after that incident, there was barely any activity outside the Azure Serpent Realm.

No expeditions or cultivators waiting outside the Azure Serpent Realm, except for a few.

In short, the area had fallen into complete silence.

Yet now... just after Ethan stayed away from the world for a single week, the situation had completely changed.

The activity outside the Azure Serpent Realm had surged to an entirely different level.

Even though no one was entering the Azure Serpent Realm, they were all eagerly waiting.

In the past, only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would gather there.

But now, there were hundreds of Golden Core Realm cultivators, and what’s more, there were even dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

And that wasn’t all.

’Moreover... I sensed more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators hiding in the shadows.’

When Ethan passed by the Azure Serpent Realm on his way to the meeting location, his Special Talent reacted instantly.

Dense killing intent and suppressed auras.

Cultivators lurking in the shadows, deliberately concealing their presence.

There were far more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators than what appeared on the surface.

Even though that dense killing intent was not specifically directed at him, Ethan felt something was definitely wrong.

His gaze shifted back to Felix.

"So," Ethan asked calmly, his eyes cold and sharp, "why is there suddenly so much activity outside the Azure Serpent Realm?"

"Brother Ethan, it was the other reason why I wanted to urgently meet you. It is because..."

Felix already knew all the secrets that Ethan was hiding in the Azure Serpent Realm.

So, Felix explained all the things that happened regarding the Azure Serpent Realm during Ethan’s absence.

"What? The Eternal Shadow Guild and Greenfire Sect joined hands to forcefully explore the Azure Serpent Realm?"

After listening to everything, Ethan was shocked, as he didn’t expect something like that.

The Eternal Shadow Guild was a powerful organisation that took all kinds of commissions from qualified individuals... of course, the price would be quite high.

However, they strictly moved in the shadows, and cultivators below the Golden Core Realm had no clue about such a powerful organisation, much less commissioning them.

"Of course, on the surface, it is only the Greenfire Sect that will be forcing its way into the Azure Serpent Realm, whereas the [Eternal Shadow Guild] will be moving in the shadows to conquer the Azure Serpent Realm."

"Also, the sect hired all Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm loose cultivators for this operation."

.

.

.

"So, that killing intent I felt from the shadows... it must belong to those [Eternal Shadow Guild’s] assassins."

Before Ethan could ask anything, Felix said something more, clearing Ethan’s doubts.

’Damn it... I thought I could peacefully grow my forces for a year or two, but now my own actions of evolving the Azure Serpent Leaders brought such great attention to a gradeless secret realm?’

It was general information about the realm’s restriction that forbade all the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators from entering the Azure Serpent Realm.

However, Ethan knew that with the foundation of the sects and hidden organisations like the Eternal Shadow Guild, they had some special items that could break or erase such restrictions.

Nevertheless, he had been expecting such a thing not to happen, because using such powerful items in a secret realm that was yet to become an official Grade 1 realm was a loss.

And Ethan knew the reason why they were willing to take such a loss, and it was because of his activities in the Azure Serpent Realm.

"Do you know how they are forcing their way into the Azure Serpent Realm?"

Calming himself, Ethan asked Felix about the method they would use to enter the Azure Serpent Realm.

Even though such information would be hard for regular disciples, Felix was a Core Disciple. Moreover, he had gained the title of Holy Son of the sect.

So, Ethan believed Felix might have some idea about what the Greenfire Sect was planning to do.

"T-this... I don’t know either."

Felix rubbed the back of his head, making Ethan speechless.

"From what I learned, the [Eternal Shadow Guild] is responsible for breaking the restriction on the Azure Serpent Realm, whereas the Greenfire Sect is responsible for subduing the Azure Serpent Leaders inside."

The reason Felix knew this much was that all the Core Disciples of the Greenfire Sect were joining the mission alongside some Nascent Soul Realm Elders.

The entire operation of subduing the Azure Serpent Leaders would be commanded by three Supreme Elders.

"The sect sure is treating the Azure Serpent Realm as a Grade 1 realm by sending so many cultivators."

Ethan bitterly smiled, hearing such thorough preparation to conquer a gradeless realm like the Azure Serpent Realm.
