Mountain Sitting Immortal-Chapter 724: Lacking Manpower.

Lady Evergreen nodded in understanding. Then she asked something that she had been very concerned about recently.

She said, "Will we really have to ask others for help? I don’t like that we have to share our great bounty with others. And they will be strangers too. It feels painful just thinking about it."

Even Thunder Drake agreed with her. He said, "Is there no other choice?"

Sword Flash shook his head and said, "We have to call people for help. We simply don’t have the manpower to take on a whole large world."

"Not only does a large world have more people than Aries, but the people in the world are also much stronger than the people in Aries. Just their gem emperors are stronger than us. So we will surely need help."

"That is the way of the world. We can only do what we are capable of, not whatever we want to. If we don’t have the strength to do something or take something, then we can’t do it. In this case, we don’t have the strength to keep the whole homeworld of the gem people for ourselves, so we can’t keep it."

After thinking for a while, he said, "The best that we can do to avoid sharing our loot with others is to call back our patriarchs upstream who are still alive to come and join us."

Thunder Drake’s eyes brightened when he heard the suggestion. He said, "Does that mean our master will come?"

Sword Flash smiled as he said, "She should come if she is still alive. I’m sure she won’t turn down an opportunity to fight."

Thunder Drake was so happy that he clapped in excitement and said with anticipation, "I can’t wait."

Lady Evergreen, on the other hand, wasn’t happy to hear that her master might come. She frowned and said, "For sure, that annoying bitch isn’t dead yet since we plant people live a long time. And she is also greedy, so I’m sure that she will come over if we give her the chance to."

This made Thunder Drake snort and say, "And I was wondering why you were annoying and greedy. It turns out that you learned your bad habits from someone else." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Lady Evergreen ignored him and said to Sword Flash, "You know what, I don’t think it is a bad idea to share our bounty with strangers."

Thunder Drake began to laugh again while Sword Flash shook his head and said, "Our patriarchs are a better option for cooperation since we know each other. We will be able to work well with them, and since we think alike, there shouldn’t be many problems with us cooperating."

Lady Evergreen knew that she couldn’t convince him not to call her master. So she could only sigh in regret.

Sword Flash saw that she had accepted the matter, so he changed the subject. "So it is decided. Once we get the permission to invade the gem people, I will call our masters and previous patriarchs for help. But before we begin the new campaign, I must refine that rank 7 artifact completely."

The mention of the rank 7 artifact made the other two become solemn. They remember how Sword Flash nearly died when he tried to control the artifact without refining it. Half of his body had exploded because of the stress that the artifact placed on his existence.

This made Thunder Drake say, "Maybe you should just leave it alone. It doesn’t seem worth it if you can die trying to control it."

Even Lady Evergreen was concerned. She said, "I don’t like you, but I don’t want you to die just yet."

Sword Flash waved away their concerns and said, "There is no need to fret. I’m sure that I can handle it."

They discussed some more. Then Sword Flash used the space gate artifact to venture deep into the second layer of the world to the branch of the League of World Eaters nearby.

As a unity realm cultivator, he can enter the second layer of space with his body without any assistance. This is because spiritual energy is fusing with his body. But he can only stay there for a short while before his existence scatters.

Only divine transformation cultivators can stay in the second layer of space indefinitely and even traverse the void between worlds with their bodies. So he still needs the help of the space gate to create a spatial channel to his destination in the second layer of space.

The headquarters of the League of World Eaters is in a rank 7 secret realm. This secret realm is so large that Aries can’t compare to it in size.

There are many such rank 7 secret realms surrounding the world of Ethera. They form tiny bubbles of space and energy in the void around the main landmass that is Ethera.

At the center of the mainland is the large eternal golden tree called Ethera, while outside the secret realms attached to the mainland is the crystal shell that seals off the whole arrangement from the void sea between worlds.

When Sword Flash thinks about how one rank 7 secret realm is bigger than Aries, he can only think about how foolish the resistance of the world of Aries was.

He said to himself, "Even with the help of many gem kings, Aries still couldn’t defeat an incomplete force of a rank 5 sect who were fighting with their avatars. There is just no way that they could resist Ethera."

As he was thinking to himself, he made his way to the center of the secret realm. His destination is the heaven-reaching tower at the center of the tower.

The secret realm is a spherical ball in the second layer of space. But there isn’t one land mass like other secret realms that he is used to. Instead of having one land surface that everyone walks on, there are layers of land in the secret realm.
