Chapter 1383 Show Your Sincerity
Putting aside his own little schemes, Jonathan changed his direction and dashed straight ahead.
After roughly over an hour, when Jonathan replenished his spiritual energy for the sixth time, he finally saw the green light marker just a few miles ahead.
Jonathan swooped down, sweeping over the ridge, and spotted a few cultivators on guard.
Pressing the button on his ring, Jonathan threw out Divine Chessboard. With a forceful step on it, he vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, he had already used the space-altering formation on him to teleport himself above the ground.
Divine Chessboard, spanning over twenty square meters, was slanted into the ground. Jonathan stood in front with a coffin, his eyes filled with an icy chill.
Ahead of Jonathan, there were a few old men sitting on chairs, sipping tea.
The Gray family, the Mallory family, the Blackwood family, the Salladay family…
The core power holders of the four prominent families met with Jonathan for the first time.
“Good, good, good!”
Watching Jonathan land, Graeme, dressed in coarse linen, rose to greet him.
Three consecutive words of praise escaped from Graeme’s lips, expressing his admiration for Jonathan without any attempt to conceal it.
“Full of vitality, brimming with energy, with a ceaseless surge of spiritual energy. He is an excellent candidate for cultivation,” Graeme looked up and down at Jonathan and said with a hearty laugh.
If an ordinary person were to assess him in such a way, Jonathan would probably have lost his temper long ago.
Although I can’t consider myself a great cultivator who has achieved Divine Realm, I’ve still managed to reach the mid-stage of this realm in just three short years. I’ve even once grasped an incomplete Pryncyp of Slaughter.
Do I need others to comment on my own cultivation talent?
Moreover, probing into someone’s background so blatantly upon first meeting is considered extremely impolite in the world of cultivators.
Based on this alone, it would not be considered excessive whether Jonathan chose to turn around and leave, or to take action directly.
Yet, Jonathan could not harbor any dissatisfaction in the face of this old man before him.
Although Graeme was probing Jonathan with his spiritual sense and spiritual energy, there was not a trace of malice in his actions.
That feeling was just like when an elder checked on the progress of a junior’s cultivation. Hence, it didn’t really cause any discomfort.
Jonathan quickly stepped forward, then respectfully made a fist and bowed in salute.
“Jonathan Goldstein greets Mr. Blackwood!”
The two of them were standing less than two meters apart at this moment. Faced with such a powerful cultivator in Divine Realm, if the other party wanted to make a move, the chances of Jonathan surviving were extremely slim.
Doing so would mean that Jonathan had immense trust in Graeme.
Of course, this trust was also built on the fact that Sirius was still in the coffin.
With a hearty laugh, Graeme helped Jonathan up.
“There is no need for formalities. It’s good enough that you’re here.”
Jonathan gave a slight nod, casually putting away Divine Chessboard behind him. He then turned to look at the few people still sitting not far away.
As for the other three, Jonathan didn’t know their names although he had met them before entering the small world.
Following Jonathan’s gaze, Graeme immediately understood and responded with a hearty laugh.
“Come on, we’re all meeting for the first time. Let me introduce you to them.
Graeme wanted to lead Jonathan forward to greet Zack and the others, but at this moment, Jonathan had put away his smile. He stood still as if he were a nail hammered into the ground, showing no intention of stepping forward.
Not only that, Jonathan even summoned a lounge chair from his storage ring, and just slumped down on it.
Seeing Jonathan in such a state, Graeme’s outstretched hand froze mid-air.
Jonathan looked at Graeme, his gaze softening slightly.
“Mr. Blackwood, it’s not that I don’t respect you. It’s just that those guys over there don’t treat me like a human being.”
“I’ve glided over two hundred miles to get here, and it’s taken me half the day.”
“If we want to collaborate, then we should all show the sincerity of wanting to collaborate.”
“Apart from you, the other three aren’t dead, are they?”
With a cool gaze, Jonathan looked at the three people across from him and spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three people opposite gradually turned cold.
Meanwhile, the cultivators from the other three families had surrounded Jonathan. Seeing his wild demeanor, they all pointed their swords at him one after another.
Jonathan expanded his spiritual sense, and carefully observed the actions of everyone around him.
The three old geezers were all sitting in their seats, not bothering to greet me.
They simply see me as a junior, unworthy of being greeted by them standing up. In essence, they’re trying to put me down through their actions.
If they were outside, Jonathan might have had no choice but to bow to them.
However, Jonathan had experienced so much in this small world.
Even the founder of Sanctuary was trapped in a coffin by him. Let alone this time, these people sought cooperation with him. Jonathan really couldn’t figure out what he should be afraid of these old geezers.
“Are you planning to take a swing at me?”
Jonathan looked at Zack and the others across from him.
“From the moment I arrived, your attention has been fixated on this coffin.
“You must have had quite a few odd thoughts about this coffin, haven’t you?
With a cold laugh, Jonathan said, then with a wave of his hand, he astonishingly flung the coffin beside him into the air, hurling it in the direction of Zack.
“Zack, let’s see if you can save your grandson!”
With a cold shout, at the moment the coffin was flung out, spiritual energy surged under Jonathan’s feet. Centered around him, several large hands made of mud and sand rose from the ground within a radius of tens of meters, grabbing those cultivators from the three families and pulling them towards the ground.
This sudden turn of events exceeded everyone’s expectations.
As everyone expected, Jonathan, a cultivator, came from an unconventional background.
Even though they hold great prestige in the mortal world, when facing the true cultivator families and influential figures of respectable families, they would tread carefully, humbly considering themselves as the younger generation.
After all, Jonathan was considered the lowest tier in this game in terms of influence or strength.
But who would have thought that Jonathan who came alone, was not only arrogant, but even dared to strike first!
The few God Realm cultivators leapt up one after another, each unleashing their spiritual energy in an attempt to shatter the giant hand beneath them.
Since Jonathan had decided to take action, how could he possibly let a few people escape so easily?
“Back off!”
With a cold shout from Jonathan, the ground beneath his feet suddenly rose.
With a light tap, Jonathan leapt into the air, while the mud beneath his feet scattered in all directions, transforming into a solid canopy that descended straight down below.
A flash of a sword streaked by, and from the heavens above, someone charged out wielding a sword.
In mid-air, Jonathan was perfectly positioned, his hand gripping a mace. With a hair-raising swoosh, he forcefully smashed it down.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the cultivator who had just escaped was once again smashed into the quicksand below.
With a light wave of Jonathan’s right hand, a large net of magical instruments dispersed. Under his manipulation, the mesh of the net became incredibly intricate.
Then, he cast a net over the quicksand, completely eliminating any chance of escape for the people below!
