Chapter 1461: Skyward Major World (III)
“Have exalted emperors died in these places?” asked Li Hao.
“Yes!” Big Claw nodded.
The young man raised an eyebrow. That made these locales more dangerous if even exalted emperors had fallen there! It also looked like what Big Claw spoke of was true. There wouldn’t be so many conflicts so many years later if there was nothing to be found here.
Seeing that his guest seemed to be tempted, Big Claw quickly added, “Senior, Dragon Observatory also has a private site of dao foundation, in addition to these three that are open to the public! Our master paid a hefty price to keep it under our control!
“If the senior is willing to join Dragon Observatory, then there is no need for you to risk yourself. You simply need to stand guard for the Observatory for one thousand years in exchange for entrance at will.
“Of course, each instance will require a bit of your blood essence, with one visit every one hundred years being free. The other times will require the senior to pay the price of blood essence.”
Li Hao smiled and walked around randomly, setting no particular direction as he sized up his surroundings. “Dragon Observatory is a very big faction, right? There should be nothing that can pose a danger to it, unless a major world attacks. Why do you continue to recruit exalted emperors then?”
“First, the other three main factions of Skyward sometimes clash with us,” Big Claw explained. “Skirmishes happen over these sites of dao, for example, or the discovery of some ancient treasures.
“Second, chaos wanderers will sometimes... attack Skyward without heed of the consequences. Those incidents require a joint defense from each of the factions!
“Third, to intimidate the major worlds!” Big Claw spoke freely of everything. “There are major worlds with designs on Skyward, especially the newly risen major worlds. Their masters are peak sixth rank, not yet seventh. Skyward poses a particular temptation to them. When one of them seeks to seize Skyward, all sides are needed to beat back the invaders and perhaps even eliminate them!
“Fourth...” Big Claw sized up Li Hao before saying in a meaningful tone, “Even without these dangers, cultivation requires fortuitous opportunities. Sometimes, Skyward collects people to march on the anarchists!”
“The anarchists?” Li Hao’s eyes widened. “Who are the anarchists?”
