"The Natural Magic Array aligns with the laws of nature itself. Druids, with their connection to nature, can utilize it according to destiny. It requires various totems and the sacrifice of a million lives, even a master of Competent Force, to resonate with the cosmos and withstand eighty percent of the celestial tribulation."
"The intelligence I've gathered indicates that the Whites, for their prodigy Arnold, will join forces with the struggling Harris and Qu Fang to protect the Natural Magic Array and Arnold. Once Arnold reaches the level of Competent Force, it will elevate everyone associated with him. The Druids are prepared to pay any price for future glory."
"It will take at least three more years to prepare the Natural Magic Array."
"If we just want to eliminate Arnold, with the help of you Blackwoods, things would be much simpler. Mr. Nathan, I need you to be clear about what exactly you intend to do on this mission."
After a banquet, Jimmy didn't say much.
He directly led the Blackwoods under the Primordial Blood Tree to strategize. The scene he had witnessed at the Natural Magic Array with The Oracle Chamber mbers was summoned using the power of the cosmos.
There had once been a minor feud between Blackwood and Cloudview County's The Oracle Chamber, but now the new leader of The Oracle Chamber was plotting with Blackwood, a truly curious turn of events.
Nathan hesitated for a mont, glancing at Alia.
With just one look, Jimmy understood everything. He was montarily stunned, a flicker of shock crossing his face, but he concealed it and continued, "Then I understand. I can only tell you, Mr.Nathan, that achieving your goals with Blackwood will be as difficult as reaching the heavens!"
Upon hearing this, the Blackwoods all frowned.
Jimmy continued, "Let break it down for you, starting from the outer periter of the Natural Magic Array. Three tribes, to gain Arnold's favor, will deploy their best warriors to guard three positions with a powerful magical array. To approach the main array, you first have to break through the outer defenses."
"Breaking this array will provoke a desperate resistance from all their top warriors. The three high priests are all at the peak of Competent Force. Even though they've been setback, the three sides still have about six to eight priests, with no fewer than fifty tribal chiefs and elders, all wielding Druidic totems."
"If there's any disturbance, the Natural Magic Array will activate within the ti it takes an incense stick to burn. That ans, in addition to facing these Druidic masters, the person you want to undergo the tribulation must enter the Natural Magic Array within that short ti!"
"At that mont, she will face Arnold alone, a peerless genius unmatched within the realm of Developing Skill, and she must defeat him within the span of thirty finger snaps, or else face a double celestial tribulation, a challenge no one has survived."
Jimmy's words sounded light, but a shadow seed to fall over the entire hall. Facing all the warriors from three tribes... Rember, Blackwood had only faced Clark's side before, and they had even eliminated one of Clark's priests. Clark had fled in panic that day, but the enemies they faced now were of a completely different caliber!
"Dad... maybe... maybe I should wait a bit longer," Alia sighed deeply.
"Wait for what?"
Nathan smiled faintly, "If it's as difficult as reaching the heavens, then we Blackwoods will just have to climb to the heavens!"
Jimmy could only offer a bitter laugh. "But Nathan, have you considered that just as we are prepared to pay any price to eliminate the Druids' prodigy, the tribes of Starlight County will do the sa to kill our genius? When that happens, the masters of Starlight County will also attack, and we'll be walking into a death trap!"
Back when he was in the imperial capital, Jimmy had heard of the Blackwood family. They had pioneered an era in Cloudview County, and even as the leader of The Oracle Chamber, he did not wish to see such a defiant family perish.
Unfortunately, his warnings were in vain.
This man, who looked like a simple farr, just gave his daughter a reassuring smile, then bowed deeply to Jimmy. In his eyes, Jimmy saw nothing but resolve!
And then there were the people of Blackwood in the hall... a group of complete madn. They understood each other without words and silently left the hall to prepare.
"Mr. Martinez, I will be by your side from now on. To be honest, I am also a mber of The Oracle Chamber." Dennis bowed slightly to Jimmy. "Please forgive , Mr. Martinez. Although we are friends, it's wise to be cautious, right?"
"Dennis, the master of Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, I know you. You received Stephen's legacy."
Jimmy's expression was odd. "I also know that you once followed Stephen and hindered our mission at The Oracle Chamber. By rights, I should have killed you."
Hearing this, Dennis was not only unafraid but also laughed as if he had nothing to lose. "Well, when you decide to kill , just give a heads-up so I can arrange my affairs."
Jimmy paused for a mont, glanced at the Blackwood mbers who had quickly dispersed, and then looked back at Dennis's fearless eyes. He shook his head with a wry smile. "It seems you haven't learned anything from Blackwood except how to be mad."
In the room.
Ethan watched the scene in the Forebearer Shrine.
Alia was kneeling towards his Psychic Position.
"Forebearer, please show your powers quickly. Only you can stop my father now. Trying to obtain the Natural Magic Array is too dangerous, we should just kill Arnold..."
Alia was in tears.
This ti, Ethan did not show his powers. His expression was grave. Alia was breaking through a severe trial, and during her ti in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, she had spent nearly two hundred years of her life. Now, Alia was only left with a little over a hundred years!
Losing this opportunity ant neither Blackwood nor he could ensure Alia's safe passage through the trial!
They had to fight!
Ethan sent a warm ssage to Alia. His Psychic Position traced a gentle arc in mid-air, and a line of text appeared before Alia's eyes.
[This ti, let your family help you, okay?]
"Forebearer!"
Watching the shadow in the sky, Alia cried like a child and eventually fell asleep in front of Ethan's Psychic Position, her dirty face showing a faint smile.
Tonight, the full moon hung high.
Nathan and his wife embraced, gazing long at the Primordial Blood Tree. They did not ask the ancient tree about the future; it had been with Blackwood for a lifeti and was also waiting for a breakthrough. Any damage could potentially kill the old tree during the thunder trial.
Footsteps sounded behind them.
"Mr.Nathan." Jimmy ca with Dennis, bowed to the couple, and got straight to the point. "Mr. Dennis and I have inquired, and with the current strength of Blackwood, even if you gather all the masters of Cloudview County, the chances of achieving your goal are still slim. I suggest..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Martinez."
Nathan looked tenderly at his wife and smiled. "This ti, even if I have to risk my life, I will seek a chance for my foolish daughter."
Jimmy frowned, puzzled. He had made it very clear; it was a near-suicidal mission, and a great family really shouldn't risk so much for one Psychic. Only Dennis, standing behind him, couldn't help but smile reassuringly.
