Chapter 559: Writ (1/2)
”...I believe that the Grand Elder won't hesitate to give you some rewards. Of course, it'll depend on the situation.” Henry finished explaining.
Raven was silent at first but the two didn't pressure him to talk. They just waited for him to speak his terms. After some time, Raven sighed and said:
”Very well. The Formation I can handle, however due to some circumstances, I need to personally create them so the production will be a bit slower. If the Elder Council can agree to this, then you'll only need to give me the materials needed and I'll make them. As for the rewards, I'll leave the matter to Grand Elder hand.”
”The problem is the seals...” Raven sighed while frowning. ”You see, when I created the seals I placed on the 9th and 12th floor, I personally inspected them. Each floor on the Devil Emperor's Pagoda is different. Although the seals I created looked the same, in truth there are some differences between them due to the afore mentioned differences between each floors.”
”Therefore, I need to inspect each floors personally for me to be able to create the necessary seals for them. Which means that mass producing those seals isn't possible for now.”
As Raven finished his explanation, Henry and Celestine sighed.
”That doesn't sound too bad.” Celestine stated, ”At least we have you for this. That's better than nothing. It's a pity though.”
”Yeah.” Henry nodded in agreement. ”Well nobody said that it'll be easy anyway. I mean, we're already expecting this anyway.”
”Hm? What do you mean?” Raven asked.
”Although Grand Elder thought that it would be nice if the seals can be mass produced, he himself thought that it's very unlikely. This is why were weren't surprised with what you said.” Celestine stated.
Raven was a but surprised with that. Nevertheless, it is after all the Grand Elder that they were talking about here. The current Zeus. Him knowing this shouldn't be much of a surprise.
”Alright, we'll report this back to the Grand Elder. We'll send you a word of the results.” Henry stood up as well as Celestine. ”For now, relax and take it easy. I trust that you have some plans for yourself so go do them.”
”Since we're done here, then we'll excuse ourselves. See 'ya later 9th.” Celestine smiled.
Raven nodded and bid them farewell.
Once they disappeared from his pocket dimension. Raven became silent for a bit and in deep thought. He stared at an empty space, unconsciously drinking his tea while he was lost in his own thoughts.
There are some plans that needs to be adjusted, and that's precisely what he's doing right now. He's making some mental list in order to make sure that he's maximizing his time.
After quite sometime, Raven woke up from his thoughts and sighed. He then stood up, stretched his body and looked outside for a bit. Although it's still mid-day, he felt quite sleepy so he returned to his room and slept for the rest of the day.

”So this is what stepping on the 5th Stage of [Void Walking Scripture] feels like...” Raven muttered in wonder as he felt some changes on his body.
Just like before, he didn't feel like his physique was strengthened nor improved at all. Nevertheless, he could still feel hints of changes on his body which will be more displayed when he interacts with the Spacetime Void.
Raven already sealed the room prior to his cultivation. The seals he created were stronger thanks to the help of the Brush of Wisdom therefore not even an ounce of energy fluctuation will seep out of this room.
Thanks to that, Raven was able freely display his Spacetime Laws even if he wasn't inside the Crown Space to do so.
Raven lifted his hand, and with a simple swing of his arm, a spatial tear emerged in front of him. This time. Compared to his attempts prior to this, the Spatial Tear was wider and bigger. It was large enough for him to fit inside.
Beyond this Spatial Tear is the ever so chaotic and dangerous Spacetime Void. By now, Raven ventured a guess that he could explore the Spacetime Void for three whole days without any problems. That being said, exploring that long would surely empty his energy capacity and Raven has no desires to do that just yet.
