Chapter 649: Armageddon Rune (2/2)

He returned just in time for his meal to be done cooking. The alluring scent of it caused his mouth to water and his stomach to churn. He quickened his steps and got himself a bowl. He then chowed down his meal and finished the entire thing in just a few gulps, it was evident that he was really hungry.

Letting out a few burps of satisfaction, Raven patted his stomach and went inside the tent to rest. Laying down on the soft bed he made for himself, his thoughts ran amuck for a while.

For one, Raven is currently inside the Cultivation Eden, training in seclusion once more. Due to his busy schedule during the past few months, he didn't have time to go here but the recent changes allowed him to free-up sometime and he even got himself a day-off.

Raven relaxing absolutely didn't mean that he's no longer worried about the enemies. He still is, it's just that his plans worked beautifully and the enemy remained complacent. The sect continued to increase it's overall strength with renewed passion, Raven didn't have to consistently be hands-on since too much intervention will just provoke the ire of others.

The sect is going to be just fine, everything is moving along smoothly. Raven was at ease and he trusted that the officials will do their best even without him being constantly there so he's relieved.

It is also thanks to that, that Raven has now some free time to focus on his own training. Just because he's the leading figure behind the sect, it doesn't mean that he could excuse himself for being weak, in fact that's all the more reason for him to become even more powerful on his own.

Once again, Raven's just too invested in this and he can't go back down. He needed to make stand here and win this war since if he couldn't, then his future plans will be ruined.

Currently, Raven's cultivation is going along rather well. Thanks to the temporal difference inside the Crown Space, he was catching up to the powerhouses rather swiftly without risking his foundations. The avatars are helping him with his enlightenment and Laws Control.

As for any breakthroughs, well he's still ways off. But Raven's isn't in a rush. Although he might be a late-stage Saint Knight Realm right now, he his own ways of bridging the gap and making himself useful.

That being said, there were many times when Raven was tempted to forcefully increase his cultivation through elixirs and stuff, in the end his logic preventer him from doing so. He just can't risk his future like that.

At most, he would use elixirs to recover his Cosmic Energies but as for raising his cultivation level, he didn't want to do that.

Raven never relied, nor will ever rely on heavenly resources to increase his cultivation realm simply due to the fact that it will ruin his firm and solid foundations. He will only use resources to aid on his recovery and breakthroughs, that's it. As for the rest, he will achieve it through natural accumulation.

”Speaking of resources, it's about time I increase the number of my Avatars as well as practice the higher levels of the other technique...” Raven murmured.

The two techniques Geezer gave to him; [Myriad Incarnations Scripture] and the [Voidwalking Manual] had been a tremendous help on Raven's cause so far. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't just rush through the stages, he would've already done so by now since resources had never become a problem to him.

Though these techniques are heaven-defying, it still poses some degree of risks, which is why Raven remained careful whenever he's advancing on either of the techniques. Again, if it weren't for this risks, he would've already reached the consummate level for both techniques already.

”There's also this place...” Raven said softly.

Right. He could still remember the previous Heir's telling him that there's more to the interior of the palace, it's just that he hasn't reached the requirements just yet.

As for what those requirements are? Raven has no clue, the only thing he could do right now is to walk forward and follow what he think is the correct path. As for when he'll be able to unlock the other areas, there's no rush.

Thinking about it this way, Raven's eyelids eventually turned heavy as he soon fell asleep.
