Chapter 668: 33-layered Seal (2/2)

Back in the entrance, aside from Raven, someone else looked up to the sky, staring at the rune in awe as well.

”No matter how many times I see, it surely is impressive.” A melodious voice praised Raven from behind.

Raven turned around and smiled at the person who was watching him, saying: ”It still has a long way to go. Runic Seals of that level won't be effective against our Big Prisoner after all.”

”Well, you become stronger at an alarming rate anyway so I believe that it's just a matter of time before you'd be able to reach that level. Plus, you haven't received the baptism of the Celestial Ascension Platform. I believe that once you go in there, you're harvests won't be lesser than us.”

”Ah! That's right. Thanks for reminding me, Julia.” Raven replied, ”I've been absorbed in work during these past few days that I've completely forgotten about that.”

Julia - the Winter War Goddess, chuckled softly while tucking a few strands of hair behind her ears. The slight reddening of her ears were somewhat visible as well, and that's not because it was cold.

”That being said, you plan on going then?” She asked after clearing her throat softly. ”With your arrangements, the sect will be fine. There's also us, you know.”

”I'm aware of that of course, but...” Raven sighed and looked up in the sky, ”I just can't sit still. I could still think of ways to improve the sect just a tad bit. Securing the safety of the sect is my priority of course, but I also couldn't bear to leave for now since the disciples still needs my guidance.”

”I'm not saying that you won't do. In fact, most of you are better than me when it comes to guiding disciples. It's just that the topics they have to learn requires my assistance. I am cultivating other Rune Masters as well but they aren't skilled enough yet.”

”Don't worry, I am not neglecting my cultivation. I do have some plans, it's just that it will take me some time before I could be freed from all of this.”

Raven didn't hesitate to reveal his plans with Julia since she could be trusted. Julia was the second-in-command of the War Gods. She's wise and strong, her nature became even more obvious after she received the baptism of the Celestial Ascension Platform.

He sees her as someone to confide his plans with.

'Well, I also have this premonition that my baptism in there will take a long time. Longer than what they experienced at least, however I can't be certain so let's not tell anyone for now at least.'

”I see...” Julia was a downcast upon hearing this. ”I was just hoping that we can share your burdens.”

”You are though.” Raven looked at her and replied seriously. ”You guys' mere presence is helping me out already you know. I'm an single person in the end of the day, I can't operate the entire sect on my own. So don't feel so down, you are helping me out a lot.”

Julia was stunned for a moment as she saw Raven's face. She was captivated by the sight of Raven's dashing appearance and his sincere words. She couldn't help but stare at his eyes which seems to be drawing her in.

Fortunately, she managed to recover from this before she made a mess out of herself. She broke eye-contact and looked up in the sky, feeling quite hot and flustered.

”I-Is that so? Well, that's good to hear.” Julia replied while trying her best to not fall for the same trick again.

Raven tilted his head and was a bit confused, he didn't pay too much attention to it though and just stared ahead.

”Okay, I've rested enough. It's time to draw the 15th layer of seal.” Raven muttered but it was loud enough for Julia to hear.

”You're still going!?”

”Yes.” Raven nodded like he just said something so obvious. ”I plan on making a 33-layered seal. Of course I'm still going.”

Julia was speechless, but when she saw that Raven was already creating the seal, she couldn't help herself from revealing a sweet smile that could melt the hearts of a million bachelors.
