Chapter 1818: Chapter 1816: The Forces of All Parties

After learning about the domestic situation, Peter Brown also started to feel anxious. He initially thought he was safe hiding here, but now realized it wasn’t as safe as he had thought.

"If we were to leave on our own?"

Xandros Walker was a loyal man, so Peter decided to ask him.

Shaking his head, Xandros Walker said, "Your Highness, we rely on two things to succeed, one is the formation, and the other is the energy bomb. However, I have studied seriously and found that these two things should have a very strong effect on those under ten stars, but when facing those above ten stars, the effect will not be as good."

Peter agreed with the other’s statement, and indeed, that was the situation, as dealing with people under ten stars was indeed problematic.

"Your Highness, Prince Samuel’s cultivation has reached twelve stars, and Prince Frank has even reached thirteen stars. Both have some strong experts under their command who have reached above ten stars, so relying on these two methods would make it difficult for us to succeed."

"Alright, I will consider this matter further. You may leave."

Watching Xandros Walker leave, Peter sat cross-legged here, also thinking about his next steps in development.

Thinking about Xandros Walker’s analysis, Peter had to admit that the current situation was indeed unfavorable to him as Xandros Walker had described.

Should he join a sect?

At this moment, Peter contemplated entering a sect.

However, Peter chuckled bitterly again. The rules for recruiting people into the sect were clear; besides their own recruits under the age of ten, those above ten years old were only accepted as disciples if their cultivation reached ten stars. Otherwise, they wouldn’t recruit them.

Being twenty years old, Prince Harvey was not a candidate the sects would likely recruit, so the only way was to develop until reaching ten stars.

Unable to join a sect at present, the only thing Peter could do was to stabilize the situation here until he reached ten stars and then consider entering a sect.

"Report, a message has come from King’s City."

Philips Williams hastily entered and handed Peter a jade slip.

After looking at it for a while, Peter handed it to Philips Williams and said, "Take a look."

Philips Williams was touched at that moment and seriously read through it once.

"What do you think?"

"Your Highness, the situation is critical!"

Peter noted, "Exactly, Father Emperor is indeed struggling this time, and he probably made some decisions because of these thoughts."

"If the Emperor enters the sect as per the rules they cannot interfere in mortal affairs anymore. Losing his control, the entire Divine Nation will surely fall into chaos."

The intelligence was naturally sent by Jett Johnson. From the information received, it was known that the Emperor intended to enter the sect, likely because he felt his chances of further breakthroughs weren’t good.

Philips Williams noted, "We cultivators actually use various methods to constantly advance. The sect has existed for billions of years and has their own Body Refining Art."

Peter noted, "Those who enter the sect can continuously grow until the day they become a Saint, right?"

Shaking his head, Philips Williams noted, "Your Highness jests, the path of cultivation only allows one to become a Saint by forging their own path. Following someone else’s Cultivation Technique, although one can cultivate quickly, they are cutting off their own path of growth. Thus, if one does not form their own Cultivation Technique before fifty stars, they won’t progress much further. Fifty stars is a watershed, too many strong people have perished at this point."

Peter asked, "What then is the development method after fifty stars?"

Philips Williams just chuckled bitterly and said, "I haven’t even reached ten stars, how could I possibly know so much? Even within the sect, it is sworn upon, and no one is allowed to speak of how to cultivate after fifty stars. Even those who enter the sect only the top echelons understand the matters concerning fifty stars."

Though the earthly imperial power is considerable, compared to the Divine Sect it is insignificant.

"Forget it, let’s not talk so far ahead, given the current situation, what do you think we should do?"

"Your Highness, our power isn’t really that strong. Given the current situation, I think we must build good relationships with those who might rise to power."

The power after ten stars indeed seemed immensely formidable, Peter reflected on this matter.

It seems he would have to continue refining his own Cultivation Technique.

Peter was growing more curious about the Divine Realm, discovering that cultivation here involved assimilating life energy and then acquiring large amounts of energy. Yet, the Cultivation Techniques appeared to all revolve around Body Refining.

How could he fully upgrade his own cultivation?

Now what troubled Peter the most was dealing with the princes. He had a premonition that an Imperial Edict would soon arrive, possibly summoning them to King’s City.

"Philips Williams, keep a close watch on the developments."

At that moment, Philips Williams received a message content and after checking it, looked at Peter and said, "Prince Edward has been defeated; his failure is the same as yours, except he has truly failed."

Defeated on one front?

Peter frowned at this.

"What’s the situation with Prince Edward?" Peter asked.

"Prince Edward also won’t last much longer. Even if our army rushed there, they’re probably already defeated."

Peter tapped the chair lightly. From the current situation, it was clear he didn’t have much support.

Now Peter was indeed troubled. Thinking about escaping, but the eunuchs guarded too tightly, leaving no such opportunity. And even if he could escape, where could he go?

The more Peter understood the situation here, the more he realized that the lower strata of the Divine Race weren’t eternal. They would claim immortality for those under ten stars, but for those above, longevity was a concern. Yet, with gains, there were losses; those with cultivation under ten stars were immortal, yet when facing strong beings, their fates could be easily manipulated by others, not truly achieving immortality.

A very contradictory place!

After understanding so much, Peter realized he really needed this identity. With this identity, he could obtain as many resources as possible and continually cultivate.

Regarding the situation after ten stars, Peter didn’t worry. With his ability to infer Cultivation Techniques, he believed it unlikely that he wouldn’t be able to deduce a suitable method for his cultivation.
