Jared turned to Igor. If Creston Sect did deliberately leak the news, then there might be something going on.
Igor was aware of the crowd’s distrust toward the Demonic Cultivators, so he explained, “The Celestial Battlefield is
filled with dangers we cannot anticipate. It’s not as simple as waltzing in and grabbing whatever you see. This
matter depends heavily on luck. It’s not guaranteed you’ll be fortunate enough to stumble across a magical item
merely because you entered the Celestial Battlefield. Nothing is certain. This is basically a gamble, so Creston Sect
shared the news and cooperated with other Demonic Cultivators as well as human sects to manage the entrance to
the Celestial Battlefield.
If someone wants to pass through, they’ll have to pay up. Won’t you agree that collecting resources is a much safer
bet than entering the Celestial Battlefield itself? It’s a foolproof plan. They will obtain resources no matter what, and
outsiders won’t have to risk their lives further just to sneak into the Celestial Battlefield. Besides, it doesn’t matter

whether one can find magical items inside.”
His explanation enlightened the crowd.
The Celestial Battlefield was akin to a goldmine. Indeed, the people who discovered it could mine the place
themselves, but there was no guarantee it would be a fruitful endeavor. Additionally, they might face the risk of it
collapsing.
However, if they spread the news about the goldmine and cooperated with others to facilitate the mining, they
could collect entry fees while still having access to the place. In other words, even if they failed to extract any gold,
they’d still have generated a profit.
“The leader of Creston Sect has such good business sense.” Jared smiled.
“I heard the head of Creston Sect used to be a businessman conducting sales of various resources. It’s because of
this he successfully kept Creston Sect in good shape,” Igor said.
While other cultivators had a prejudice against the Demonic Cultivators, they weren’t that opposed to conducting
business with them. After all, not much danger was involved. Also, human cultivators needed many things that the
demons possessed.
Jared’s group walked into Creston Sect, which was built with different types of wood and stone. Despite its rather
remote location, the buildings were pretty grand.
Creston Sect was humongous, about the size of a small town. The place was surrounded by arcane arrays to deter
demon beasts from approaching.
Upon entering Creston Sect, Jared noticed plenty of human cultivators and Demonic Cultivators strolling down the
street.
There were a number of members from the beast race there, too. Though three different races were mingling with
each other, everything appeared to be harmonious. There were no signs of conflict anywhere. A sight like that
couldn’t have existed elsewhere.

The Demonic Cultivators there needn’t hide their aura and could live openly. Some even peddled stuff by the street,
selling items that human cultivators and members of the beast race needed. Of course, the Demonic Cultivators
were obviously ranked higher there because it was their territory.
Many strutted around with their heads held high. Once the group was inside, Igor turned to Hamish, Misho, and the
others. “You guys find a place to rest first. It’ll be days before the Celestial Battlefield opens. I’ll be taking Jared to
meet with the leader of Creston Sect.”
When they heard that, they appeared to be somewhat hesitant. They turned to Jared. They were afraid Igor would
ditch them in the end and only bring Jared into the Celestial Battlefield.
“Worry not, Mr. Chevalier, Old Mr. Giuvali. Find a place to settle down first. Once things are ready, I’ll contact you
two again. We’re a team. I won’t abandon you all,” reassured Jared sincerely.
