The Legendary Man

Chapter 732

Chapter 732

Right after Harvey was done talking, everyone was present, not only Jonathan, widened their eyes in bewilderment at Jonathan's phone screen.

For hundreds and thousands of years, cultivators had surpassed mortals in every single way possible, resulting in a clear distinction between the two.

When Jonathan started practicing cultivation, he ordered Asura's Office to find historical information on cultivation.

Other than the rise of evil cultivators that waged large-scale wars between the good and evil cultivators, cultivators and mortals actually lived in peace two thousand years ago.

It was the golden era of cultivation in Chanaea.

Back then, the background of a cultivator didn't matter. As long as one had potential and access to spiritual roots, one was free to enter any sect to practice Longevity Technique.

It was for this reason that the authorities back then did not really wield any actual power.

After all, if everyone was an excellent cultivator, who would fear the menial weapons and soldiers of an army?

Hence, the authorities took a series of initiatives to abolish the practice of cultivation, raging countless wars between sects and countries.

Furthermore, there were too many cultivators during the era, severely outpacing the growth of magical plants and spiritual roots. This wreaked havoc on the balance of nature.

The war between the good and evil factions cut off most of the cultural inheritance of Chanaea.

Ever since the war, though no faction's deliberate intervention, major forces in Chanaea started to collectively isolate mortals from cultivation on an unspoken understanding.

After all, the resources for cultivation were already scarce. If they were to return to the days when mortals could practice cultivation as they pleased, it would result in a lose-lose situation for all.

It was wiser to let only a small fraction of cultivators access the remaining pool of resources to ensure the sustainability of their growth.

Hence, the Blackwood family's decision to let mortals practice cultivation was posing a great threat to all cultivators.

Not only would the mortals question the meaning of their mundane lives after knowing the existence of cultivation, but it would also shake the very paradigm of the science-backed society.


As the cultivators had deliberately gone under the radar of mortals, science had become the backbone for the development of society.

There was no turning back from it.

Jonathan slowly put down his phone and eyed the people around him.

He noticed a plethora of emotions pouring out of them.

Some were agitated and puzzled, while others appeared indifferent or had grim expressions on their faces.

“Mr. Blackwood, I'd like to know what the Blackwood family has to gain when the mortals know of the existence of the world of cultivation?”

“Mr. Blackwood, I'd like to know what the Blackwood family has to gain when the mortals know of the existence of the world of cultivation?”

“Nothing.”

“Do you think I'll believe that?”

“No, you won't.”

“Then we have nothing to talk about.” Jonathan waved his hand to summon his Heaven Sword and pointed it at Lauryn's neck.

“Mr. Blackwood, let me ask you one last time. What is the Blackwood family planning? If you still fail to provide a satisfactory answer, I will kill Lauryn right now,” Jonathan warned.

Everyone who was present grew more anxious as Jonathan's sword pressed closer to Lauryn's neck, especially Yasmin.

She grabbed her thighs tightly in an attempt to stop herself from springing up from her seat.

Edenic Heights was full of Jonathan's close aides. Only she and Lauryn were considered outsiders there.

Hence, the two of them were actually quite close to one another.

Yasmin was only able to regain her consciousness that rapidly because Lauryn helped her circulate her blood.

Now that Lauryn had a sword held to her neck, Yasmin wanted to dash forward to help her, but she didn't know how to talk some sense into Jonathan.

When Heaven Sword's tip was about to touch Lauryn's neck, Harvey's voice rang through the phone.

“I presume Lauryn is right by your side,” he said, almost with a weary sigh.

“Yes,” Jonathan replied curtly.

“I am given to understand that she's here by my side because of your thoughtful arrangement. Now, I can choose to accept your goodwill, or I can send her right back to you,” he added.

“I understand...” Harvey replied. “She won't be alive by the time she's back, right?”

The man let out a worn-out chuckle, and then a helpless sigh.

“Lauryn, I'm sorry. In fact, the whole Blackwood family is,” Harvey suddenly muttered.

Jonathan furrowed his brows as he shot a look at Lauryn. However, he noticed the blank look on her face.

On the other end of the phone, Harvey's voice could be heard saying, “Our initial plan is to push for the mortals to get to know the world of cultivation with full force. That is the only way to drag the secluded sects down with us. However, that's not without a consequence. You're likely to die in the hands of Jonathan if we do so. Back then, we arranged for your engagement with Jay Osborne as we wanted to work with the Osbornes. Then, we sent you over to spy on Jonathan. You were so young... You've done so much, and yet moments ago, I had the notion of sacrificing you for the sake of the Blackwood family. I don't deserve to be your father...”
