A brilliant light emanates from the North Abyss Misty Plain, causing the Sword Saints present to worry about the spatial seal between the Holy Court Continent and the Divine Continent. The Holy Master reveals that his efforts to repair the seal have only temporarily slowed its decay. He explains that the origin of the Twelve Saints lies in the inheritances left by ancient guardians who created the seal, and these inheritances have thinned over generations, leaving only one final chance for the current Twelve Saints to succeed.

"What you said is indeed what I’ve been thinking. Although for ordinary cultivators, possessing the power of those ancient warriors is nothing but wishful thinking, if they are prepared to fight with a determination to die, it’s not entirely without a chance. I do have an idea..." The Holy Master nodded and said, aligning with what both Han Yan and Lu Nianxin had thought. It was no surprise, being the ruler of the Holy Court Continent, how could he be someone who hesitates in action?

However, as he spoke to the end, he hesitated a bit.

"The method the Holy Master is referring to, won’t it be..." Seeing his hesitant expression, everyone thought of something, and their hearts sank slightly.

"That’s right, my method is the Beiyuan Fog Origin." The Holy Master nodded and continued, "Although the North Abyss Misty Plain has chaotic laws of heaven and earth, with each step perilous, even Holy-grade experts find it a near-death experience. However, only there contains two different types of heaven and earth laws. If one comprehends both of these from the chaotic laws, they might even become top-level experts comparable to those ancient warriors."

Indeed, what everyone expected was correct; he was indeed talking about the North Abyss Misty Plain. However, thinking of their near-death experiences there, the present experts still took a sharp breath.

"Is there no other way? The North Abyss Misty Plain is extremely perilous, and there are only twelve Saints in total; we cannot afford to lose even one." An elderly man couldn’t help but say. In fact, he knew too that aside from this method, no other method was feasible, but considering the continent’s future, thinking of the heavy burden on the twelve Saints, he couldn’t help but speak up.

"There aren’t as many as twelve Saints anymore." The Holy Master smiled bitterly, yet there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

Everyone was shocked again, looking at him with confusion.

"Over the years, to delay the seal’s rupture, countless Holy Court elites died prematurely, even more than half of the so-called twelve Saints have died. Now, only five remain." The Holy Master shook his head and said.

The crowd had not expected that for the seal, the Holy Court had paid such a heavy price. Initially, there were some misgivings about the Holy Court secretly recruiting descendants of the Guardian of the Gods for hundreds of years, weakening the strength of various countries, but now it was let go.

"With the twelve Saints not complete, how do we pass on the inheritance or repair the seal?" The hasty elderly man said.

"I have thought it through. This time, we will send all the descendants of the Guardian of the Gods with awakened bloodlines to the North Abyss Misty Plain. Although many are low in strength, precisely because of this, as long as they gain some insight into the chaotic laws of power, their future cultivation will be even more remarkable, giving them a greater hope to rival those ancient warriors." The Holy Master looked determined, then continued, "However, by doing so, the foundation of the continental countries will inevitably shake, and I hope everyone can see the bigger picture."

Speaking to this point, the Holy Master looked at the remaining experts of the royal families among the crowd.

The reason why the royal families of various countries developed misgivings towards the Holy Court was precisely because of those young experts with awakened bloodlines. And they are precisely the foundation and future pillars of various countries.

"If the skin is gone, how can the hair be attached? If the continent is finished, how can Anyun survive alone? My Anyun Country has no objections." The An Yun Supreme Emperor said solemnly after a moment of silence.

"My Shangyue also has no objections."

"My Beiqi also has no objections."

...

The other royal family experts also expressed their positions, agreeing to the Holy Master’s proposal. Although these experts usually do not interfere in state affairs, they are the true stabilizing force of the royal families. As long as they agree, the monarchs of the countries will absolutely not oppose it.

"Then, what if it ultimately fails?" The elderly man trembled slightly and asked.

With their strength and status, they certainly knew that these descendants of the Guardian of the Gods are the true foundation of the Holy Court Continent. Even if many would achieve little due to late bloodline awakening, that bloodline would continue to be passed down through generations, and one unpredictable generation might produce legendary warriors capable of protecting the entire continent.

The North Abyss Misty Plain is perilous, and stepping foot there, one doesn’t know how many young ones could return alive. If the Holy Master’s grand plan fails, then the Holy Court Continent would lose its last hope.

"Do we have any better choices?" The Holy Master gazed longingly towards where the North Abyss Misty Plain was located and spoke softly.

The elderly man remained silent, as did everyone else.

If the plan fails and the seal barrier shatters, the Holy Court Continent and Divine Continent will merge into one again; the entire space will fall into chaos and disorder. Even among those present who are within the Sword Saint Realm, few will be able to survive, let alone those young ones who couldn’t survive the Beiyuan Fog Origin. What hope could there be?

"If there are no objections, should we set this plan then?" The Holy Master sought confirmation from the array of royal experts and family heads.

"Then it is settled." The crowd said with gloomy expressions.

Even though they knew it was a choice with no alternatives, thinking that with one decision, countless young elites they had placed their hopes on would perish in the mortal danger of that extreme region left their hearts heavy.

"In half a year’s time, it will be when the laws of the North Abyss Misty Plain are at their weakest. Everyone can send the descendants to the Holy Court as early as possible. I will help boost their strength somewhat so that they might have greater assurance when they go to the North Abyss Misty Plain." The Holy Master said.

"We will send them as soon as possible." The Holy Master’s words gave the people a slight boost in spirit.

No matter what misgivings they had towards the Holy Court before, they had to admit that the Holy Court is the true dominator of this continent, with a foundation far beyond what any family or royal family could surpass.

With the Holy Court’s help in enhancing their strength, those young people had a much higher chance of survival.

At this point, the earth shook violently again, and large stones rolled down from the surrounding jagged cliffs, emitting a deep rumbling sound.

Everyone’s gaze turned once more toward the direction of the North Abyss Misty Plain. Could it be that such a short interval, the seal barrier had problems again? If so, it meant the situation was direr than what the Holy Master had described; even if they sent those descendants of the Guardian of the Gods into the North Abyss Misty Plain, it might already be too late.

However, fortunately, they soon discovered that there was no anomaly in the distance at the Beiyuan Fog Origin.

"Jiuyou Netherworld Prison!" Mu Beichen said with a grave expression.

"Although we have re-sealed the rift in Jiuyou Netherworld Prison, the Netherworld Prison Space is originally suppressed by the Holy Continent space. Now that the Holy Continent space is unstable, the Jiuyou Netherworld Prison will sooner or later develop another rift." The Holy Master nodded and said.

The mood among everyone, already not light, grew even heavier.
