Chapter 1934: Chapter 1932: Mutant Intensification Across Various Regions

After the visitors had left, Peter Brown kept Jett Johnson, Philips Williams, and Francis Miller behind. These three had always been in charge of intelligence, and Peter wanted to understand more about the situation in various places.

"Report to me the situations in various locations," he instructed after asking everyone to sit.

With a serious expression, Jett Johnson said, "Your Highness, among the situations everywhere, what I consider most important to report is the matter of holy energy."

Philips Williams nodded vigorously, "Your Highness, that’s exactly it. The appearances of holy energy have started to increase. Many famous mountains and rivers have begun to experience it."

"Is there anything peculiar about it?" Peter, still not very clear about the holy energy in the Divine Realm, asked.

Jett Johnson looked at Philips Williams and said, "You speak."

Philips Williams hurriedly replied, "Please, you go on."

Jett Johnson then earnestly said, "Your Highness, at first, the holy energy didn’t seem to be all that powerful. However, as more holy energy continued to form, many places experienced various mutations, and these mutations are escalating."

"Mutations are escalating? To what extent?" Peter asked with concern.

Jett Johnson responded, "Your Highness, let me give a few examples, and you will understand."

Peter looked around at everyone and saw that their expressions were grave.

"Your Highness, there was a fierce beast, a fire-breathing tiger creature. Initially, its power was on par with that of a person at the one-star level. However, after it devoured a bizarre flower formed by holy energy, its cultivation began to rise continuously—nearly one star rank per day. Now its cultivation has reached the Twelve-Star Level, and as far as we know, it is still ascending."

"You’re talking about a bizarre flower formed by holy energy?"

Jett Johnson nodded and explained, "In fact, when holy energy appears, it takes different forms. Sometimes it’s a seed, growing on trees alongside ordinary fruits; other times, it’s a flower, living among regular flowers. Sometimes it’s a fierce beast. The form it takes varies."

Peter then nodded slightly, intrigued by the peculiarity of it all.

Philips Williams said, "Your Highness, the places where holy energy appears are primarily famous mountains and rivers, especially the ancient Dao Arenas and Heavenly Cave Lands, among others. As holy energy manifests, many have found opportunities. If we don’t act quickly, I fear we will miss out on these chances."

"How many have found opportunities, as far as you know?"

"Now, within the Purpolia Kingdom, no fewer than a hundred people have encountered such fortune. Their levels of cultivation vary, but one thing is certain: their cultivations are rapidly advancing. We conjecture that those who have found such fortune hardly face any barriers and are not hindered by bodily constraints—the holy energy is capable of transforming their bodies."

Truly awesome!

After hearing everyone’s descriptions, Peter could not help but take the matter more seriously. The advent of holy energy was indeed compelling. If he were to fall behind while others vied for it, he reckoned he might be eliminated.

"Do we have any other powers encroaching on our territory?" Peter suddenly thought of this issue and raised the question.

Jett Johnson answered, "There are several sources of holy energy on our territory, with many masters waiting for their opportunity at those sites."

"Are you saying that holy energy remains even after it’s been consumed?"

"Your Highness, where holy energy appears, more tends to manifest with even higher quality."

"Your Highness, another situation is that anything imbued with holy energy undergoes certain mutations. Some who have ingested fruits permeated with holy energy have experienced several star ranks of power increase. The situation has gone mad everywhere—forces from all sides are fighting to occupy places, claiming them as their own."

"You mean to say that people from other powers have occupied places within our territory where holy energy is located?" Peter questioned.

"Your Highness, you have been preoccupied with Sect matters of late, and our subordinates feel uncertain, leading to less oversight of various affairs. As a result, some powers have started rushing to the locations with holy energy. Some masters among them have rapidly advanced in cultivation after obtaining holy energy. Many people from some powers have already acquired fruits and such, permeated with holy energy, and their cultivations have long surpassed the Twenty-Star Rank. Our forces find it difficult to maneuver in the mountains, and without the ability to deploy the Army, their power continues to grow."

Understood!

Now Peter finally grasped some of the situation. He couldn’t blame Jett Johnson and the others; indeed, as Jett Johnson mentioned, his own power had emerged late. Not all his subordinates were necessarily convinced of his strength, and concerned more with their futures and fate, they naturally would not bother with the matter of holy energy. This was why other powers had grown.

"Can’t the strength of the Sects take them down?" Peter then thought of the Sects and asked.

Jett Johnson replied, "Holy energy also has some augmenting abilities. For example, someone with a bit of knowledge in Alchemy, upon receiving the boost from holy energy, would experience a mutation of sorts in their abilities, and suddenly, as if enlightened, would develop the capacity for refining Elixirs. There are two cases like this. The Elixirs they are Refining now can increase someone’s Star Rank by several levels."

Another remarkable thing!

Peter was now genuinely curious about holy energy, having not anticipated it to be like this.

"Do you think the powers of the various factions might grow beyond the Sects?"

"We’re not sure about that, but if those from powerful Sects obtain holy energy, their advancement will naturally be swift."

Philips Williams solemnly added, "Your Highness, although the Sects have indicated they no longer vie for territorial control, they have not ceased competing for sites where holy energy is present. I suspect many among those who have taken hold of famous mountains and rivers and received the enhancement from holy energy might be the Sect’s People. If we allow them to grow in strength, it could be detrimental to the nation."

These words made Peter nod silently in agreement; in fact, he had also been considering this matter.

"Your Highness, there are a few individuals within the territories we govern who are among the strongest. We suspect they will soon break through the Hundred-Star Level and advance to even higher echelons," said Jett Johnson as he handed a recorded list to Peter.

Looking at the names on the list, Peter felt the pressure. His greatest worry was that after obtaining holy energy and attaining significant advancement in all aspects, he might be helpless against them.
