Chapter 1265: Chapter 696: Emperor's Flowing Pulp_2 Chapter 1265: Chapter 696: Emperor's Flowing Pulp_2 He looked at Logan with a bewildered face, trying to find an answer from Logan's expression. However, Logan did not feel anything was amiss; his eyes were determined and persistent, as if he had already made his decision.
The City Lord, seeing this, wanted to persuade Logan further. He felt that if Logan could accept this method, then his power could be restored to its peak state more quickly. This would undoubtedly be a good thing for them.
“Master, please reconsider,” the City Lord earnestly said, “Though this method may be somewhat evil, it truly can help you quickly break through the bottleneck. Moreover, we will do our utmost to ensure your safety and prevent any harm from befalling you.”
Logan heard the City Lord's words but just smiled faintly in response. He understood the City Lord's concerns and hopes, but he was clearer about his own path of cultivation. He did not want to rely on any evil powers to enhance his strength, as that would only lead him into deeper trouble.
“Thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind,” Logan said firmly, “I will break through the bottleneck through my own efforts, not by resorting to such evil methods. I believe that only in this way can I truly enhance my strength and become a real Strong One.”
The City Lord heard Logan's words and, although slightly disappointed, could not help but admire Logan's resolve and persistence. He knew that Logan was a Strong One with his own principles and beliefs and would not change his mind easily.
So, he nodded, showing respect for Logan's decision, and made a silent vow to try his best to help Logan recover his strength and become a true Strong One.
In the following days, Logan began his journey of cultivation. He secluded himself every day in a quiet corner of the City Lord's Mansion, feeling the surging and growth of the Spiritual Energy within his body. Valuable herbs and Spirit Stones, under his guidance, became streams of powerful force, flowing into his body.
The City Lord and the Demon Beasts under his command kept a close eye on Logan's progress in cultivation, eager for this Strong One to regain his strength quickly and lead them towards a brighter future. Logan did not disappoint their expectations; his strength continued to rise and recover, moving towards his peak state.
“Master, all of our methods have been carefully considered for your overall situation,” the City Lord said, his voice tinged with urgency and hope, “As long as we can successfully raise the Bloodline, we can work together to release our ancestral Spirit from the Barrier that imprisons him! This is the common wish of all Demon Beasts and the goal we strive for.”
Upon hearing this, Logan was moved. He had thought it was just a simple plan to improve strength, but now he understood the profound significance behind it. They were not only seeking strength for themselves but also to free their imprisoned ancestor. His respect for these Demon Beasts grew.
“There is some truth in what you say,” Logan slowly said, his gaze lingering on the City Lord for a moment as if weighing something, “Let's do this, take me to see the ritual first. I'll see how powerful it is and then it won't be too late to decide.”
Hearing this, the City Lord breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Logan would reject their plan, but now it seemed the Master was still the same, willing to give them a chance. Thus, he quickly nodded and led Logan towards the deeper parts of the City Lord's Mansion.
Logan followed the City Lord, his gaze wandering around. He had felt something off when he first entered. There were signs of battle throughout the City Lord's Mansion, and some Steles even bore the scars of shattered arrays. These signs made him suspect that this place might not have originally been the territory of Demon Beasts, but rather had been taken over by them later on.
With this thought, Logan couldn't help but sigh. That battle must have been extremely fierce to have left so many traces behind. He looked around, trying to find the traces of that battle from the ruined buildings and Steles. However, other than the ubiquitous signs of destruction and desolation, he found nothing.
“Master, this is where we hold the ritual,” the City Lord suddenly stopped, pointing to a large plaza ahead. Logan followed his finger and saw a large Altar in the center of the plaza, carved with complex Runes and patterns that seemed to contain some mysterious power.
“This is the ritual you use to enhance your bloodline?” Logan asked, his gaze lingering on the altar for a moment before turning to the City Lord.
“Yes, Master,” the City Lord answered respectfully, “this altar has been handed down to us by our ancestors. It is said to be able to communicate with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, helping us to enhance our bloodline. However, since our bloodline is not pure enough, we cannot directly activate the power of the altar. Therefore, we need to bring more Demon Beasts together to conduct this ceremony.”
Logan nodded, understanding the City Lord's meaning. It seemed that the ceremony was not as simple as he thought and required the collective power of many Demon Beasts to succeed. However, he also knew that this method of enhancing the bloodline was not necessarily safe and might even bring unknown consequences.
“Are you sure this method will work?” Logan asked again, his tone carrying a touch of concern.
“We are certain this method will work, Master,” the City Lord answered firmly, “Although there are certain risks, we are willing to pay any price to rescue our ancestor. Moreover, we have made all the necessary preparations and believe we will definitely succeed.”
Hearing this, Logan fell silent for a moment. He knew that the Demon Beasts' loyalty and reverence for their ancestor were sincere, and they were willing to give everything for the ancestor's rescue. This moved him and also commanded his respect.
“Fine, if that is the case, then I will join you in trying this ritual,” Logan finally spoke, his tone carrying a trace of resolution, “but if any problems arise during the ceremony, you must stop immediately. You can't joke with your own lives.”
Upon hearing this, the City Lord's face lit up with gratitude. He nodded quickly in agreement and then led Logan up to the altar. The other Demon Beasts also gathered around, each with a solemn expression, as if they were participating in a sacred ritual.
Following the City Lord's command, the Demon Beasts began chanting ancient spells, and the runes on the altar gradually lit up. Logan felt the surge of spiritual energy around him and couldn't help feeling nervous. He knew that this ceremony would determine their fate, as well as the future of their ancestor.
However, just at the most critical moment of the ceremony, suddenly a powerful force burst out from the altar, sending Logan and all the Demon Beasts flying. Logan steadied himself and watched the flickering runes on the altar with a sense of foreboding.
“What's going on? Why has the ritual gone out of control?” Logan asked loudly, his gaze shifting between the City Lord and the other Demon Beasts, trying to find an answer to the problem.
However, the City Lord and the other Demon Beasts also looked bewildered, clearly not knowing why this had happened. They looked at Logan, their eyes filled with horror and unease.
“Master, we don't know why this happened…” the City Lord replied with a shaky voice, “we have rehearsed this ceremony many times before, and it has never had such a problem…”
Hearing this, Logan's heart sank. He knew that the ceremony might not be as simple as they had imagined. The force that had erupted from the altar also made him feel threatened.
“Everyone, calm down and don't panic,” Logan said in a deep voice, “Let's leave this place first and plan our next steps after we find out the reason.”
