Chapter 1248 - 1248 215 The Truth

1248: Chapter 215: The Truth 1248: Chapter 215: The Truth The excavation work continued, and as more artifacts were unearthed, the expressions of everyone involved grew increasingly grave.

“The Cataclysm of ten thousand years,” “Demons and Angels joining forces to invade the Continent, with all races uniting to resist these foreign creatures’ invasion,” “The Human Race migrated from other continents,” “Heroes of various races hunted Divine Spirits”…

Any one of these explosive contents, if leaked out, would set the entire Continent ablaze.

Being keen on pursuing the truth is one thing, but that doesn’t mean they have lost their minds.

Apart from “The Cataclysm of ten thousand years,” the contents of the ruins are not to be tampered with lightly.

“Robert, it seems we’ve gotten involved in a rather troublesome circle.

Is it still possible to back out now?”

The Necromancer, already nothing more than skin and bones, appeared even more dreadful after his face took on a mournful look.

“Withdraw?”

“Old Skeleton, you’re not really thinking about becoming a Skeleton, are you?”

“From the moment we set foot in the Underground Palace, we had no choice.

Everyone should have realized that sooner.

How could a topic that even Marshal Hudson dares not to mention lightly be a trivial matter?

However, as long as we keep our mouths shut, there won’t be any major issues.

It’s old news from many years ago; it wouldn’t be bad if it was just buried and forgotten.

But the information about the Cataclysm of ten thousand years needs to be taken out.

There’s too little information about it, as if someone deliberately erased it.

Considering the time, the next round of the Cataclysm of ten thousand years is fast approaching.

Perhaps this is the real reason why Marshal Hudson invited us here!”

Robert said with a gloomy face.

Anyone who’s been outsmarted would not feel pleased.

However, Hudson’s strategy was an open one and did not force them into any decisions.

The most crucial aspect was that the price offered was tantalizingly high!

Facing a wealthy sponsor, even Sanctuary Powerhouses can’t resist.

At his level of cultivation, ordinary gold and silver treasures and beautiful women are no longer of interest.

Yet what Hudson offered was so shocking, even he, as a Sanctuary Powerhouse, couldn’t resist.

The title of “Continent’s Number One Magic Potioner” was initially an exaggeration from the outside world; real peak figures never took it seriously.

After all, while Ha’s Magic Potions are powerful, substitutes of similar kind could be found.

To maintain his interests, Hudson never engaged in price wars, always following the market price.

He even intentionally limited production to keep the prices up, appearing to be not much different than the most skilled Magic Potioner on the Continent, merely more diligent in Potion Refining.

But this time was different; the Auxiliary Cultivation Potion that Hudson provided was also useful to him.

From the perspective of lifespan, reaching the Sanctuary implies a transition in the level of life, with correspondingly higher purity energy absorption required.

The Auxiliary Cultivation Potions circulated on the Continent lacked sufficient purity and were thus completely insignificant for Sanctuary Powerhouses.

Sanctuary Powerhouses cultivate the Rule Core, but that does not mean they don’t need to improve their cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, even if Robert had grasped the relevant Laws, it would take him decades of hard cultivation to reach Completion of the First Level Sanctuary.

Now, just a few bottles of Magic Potion could shorten this time to a few years.

This reshaped Robert’s perception and crumbled his psychological defenses.

Even knowing that this matter couldn’t be simple, he chose to come here and muddle through the situation.

The other invited Powerhouses were also lured by techniques similar to what Hudson used on him.

Those who needed to increase their cultivation level were provided with Auxiliary Cultivation Potions; those stuck at a bottleneck were given Potions to instantly recover Magic Power; those with mounts…

Hudson played to everyone’s weaknesses, and for those who were unassailable, Hudson didn’t even bother to send an invitation.

“Robert, among us here, you’re the toughest.

When the sky falls, you’re the one who has to stand up first.

This discovery, destined to go down in history, might as well go on your head.

With your status in the Kingdom, you should be able to withstand the shock!”

The Wizard said apologetically from the side.

You can’t wrap fire in paper; this group of people was like the ‘seeking death squad,’ encountering such a major discovery made keeping secrets impossible.

Even now that they are aware of the seriousness of the matter and can keep it under wraps temporarily, their knowledge will inevitably be exposed at some point in the future.

This is completely instinctive!

Framing an old friend, he had no pressure.

After all, the Kingdom would abandon any one among them but not Robert.

The weight of a Sanctuary Powerhouse can fully endure this storm.

It’s just that his reputation will basically be ruined, and all members of the Religious World will despise him earnestly.

Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, Nemiah added, “Robert, you really don’t have to worry too much, at worst you’ll just get scolded a few times.

Don’t forget we were invited by Marshal Hudson, the Kingdom Government will cover for us, and in the end, big issues will be minimalized, small issues will vanish.

It’s no longer an era dominated by the Clergy.

Counting up, the Kingdom’s Great Pastor is your relative, effectively kin, so he wouldn’t actually kill you, right?

Once domestic issues are settled, those religious fanatics abroad are not a big deal, especially since you don’t like to travel internationally.”

Perhaps feeling that his analysis made sense, the trace of panic in Nemiah’s expression was no longer there.

Shifting the blame among each other was already normal.

As long as they didn’t cause serious trouble for an old friend, it wasn’t worth mentioning.
