Chapter 838 The Meaning Of Life Force
Meanwhile, in Dyadgon Mountain of Warblerich, Glybir, Graeme was glaring at Lauryn's face on the big screen.
Meanwhile, in Dyadgon Mountain of Warblerich, Glybir, Graeme was glaring at Lauryn's face on the big screen.
As Jonathan had already made clear his relationship with the Blackwood family, Lauryn felt as though a huge load had been
lifted off her shoulders while performing her duty as the messenger.
Back then, Lauryn had to find a secluded spot to secretly deliver information to the Blackwood family, but that was no longer the
case.
She had Jonathan provide her with an office so she could contact them via video call instead.
Lauryn was probably the first in the world of intelligence gathering to enjoy such a privilege.
“Grandpa, is what Jonathan said true? Do you really think I'm stupid too?” Lauryn asked as she was still bothered by Jonathan's
words from before.
Graeme burst out laughing when he heard that. “Lauryn, I will always see you as the smartest person in the world.”
Lauryn pouted as she said, “I don't believe you! Anyway, I have just given you all the information that Jonathan provided me. He
said you would know what to do.”
Having recalled something, she added excitedly, “By the way, Grandpa, I witnessed something rather surreal earlier. Jonathan
pierced Jason through the heart, but he healed it a few seconds later! Jonathan even told Jason that it was called 'life force' or
something—”
“What? Say that again!”
Graeme, who was calm and composed in his chair, leaped to his feet the moment he heard the words “life force.”

“Lauryn, are you sure you heard Jonathan mention 'life force'?”
Lauryn had never seen him get so worked up before, so she was shocked by his reaction despite the distance between them.
“Huh? Yeah, I'm certain of it. Jonathan told Jason it was life force that saved him. He even encouraged Jason to work harder in
his cultivation and master the Pryncyp of Life. He told Jason it could allow him to achieve immortality,” she replied cautiously
while recalling Jonathan's words.
Graeme was so distracted after receiving her confirmation that he didn't bother hearing the rest of her story.
“I can't believe someone actually understood life force... How could it possibly be Jonathan?” Graeme muttered repeatedly under
his breath as he paced back and forth in the conference room.
Harvey quickly waved Lauryn goodbye through the screen and ended the video call.
“Dad, is there some kind of secret behind life force?” he asked while helping Graeme onto his chair.
“No, not a secret. It just means we will be needing Jonathan's help in the future. Harvey, we did the right thing by not making an
enemy of Asura's Office! Hahaha! The Osborne family is done for!” Graeme replied with his fists tightly clenched.
Harvey frowned in confusion when he saw how happy Graeme was.
“I don't understand what you're saying, Dad. What does Jonathan's ability to control life force have anything to do with us? Why
would we need his help? Even if he could heal wounds with it, all of us respectable families have the best doctors in Chanaea at
our service. I don't think we'll ever need Jonathan's help at all.”
Harvey was about to say something further when Graeme cut him off, “Harvey, what you're talking about are common injuries
that cultivators face. What about injuries that God Realm cultivators and Divine Realm cultivators face? Do you really think our
doctors can treat those?”
Harvey stared doubtfully at Graeme after hearing that. “Divine Realm...”
But all respectable families keep their Divine Realm cultivators hidden, so why would they get injured for no reason?

Noticing that Harvey was still confused, Graeme shook his head and asked, “Harvey, what do you personally think of Divine
Realm cultivators?”
“Divine Realm cultivators are practically invincible!” Harvey replied without any hesitation whatsoever.
However, Graeme shook his head slightly in response.
“Divine Realm cultivators are human too, so they are not immune to injuries, illnesses, and death. You've been researching the
major forces in Chanaea extensively, so you should know how the eight families teamed up to wipe out the Whitley family ten
years ago. Tell me, how many Divine Realm cultivators participated in that battle?”
“The Whitley family was on high alert and had its descendants spread out, so the battle was fought over a very large area. If I
recall correctly, it was about half the size of Chanaea. In order to ensure the total annihilation of the Whitley family, the eight
families pretty much deployed all of their strongest cultivators. The eight families deployed one Divine Realm cultivator each, and
the Whitley family deployed three, so that makes a total of eleven. I don't have the exact number of the God Realm cultivators
involved because the families split up afterward, but I do know for a fact that over two hundred of them participated in that battle.
As for Grandmaster Realm cultivators... Well, there's no way to confirm that at all,” Harvey said after a brief pause.
Graeme nodded after hearing his analysis.
“The figures that you mentioned are pretty close to the actual figures. Since you're a God Realm cultivator, I want you to answer
this question as best you can. Imagine a scenario where you are attacked by multiple God Realm cultivators. Assuming that you
go all out in that battle, how many do you think you can defeat before you are overwhelmed?”
That question caught Harvey completely off guard.
When cultivators of the same level fight each other, victory is often determined by their trump cards. Sometimes, it could even
end up in a life-or-death situation. As such, I can't determine how many I can defeat in such a scenario. The best I can do is to
simplify and standardize the conditions as much as possible and imagine how a typical battle between God Realm cultivators
would turn out...

With that in mind, Harvey replied hesitantly, “I think I could defeat five of them at most, but that is only if I go all out and deplete
my vitality in the fight.”
Graeme nodded. “Hmm... I suppose that's fairly realistic. If that is what a God Realm cultivator like yourself can achieve, then
what do you think Divine Realm cultivators are capable of? The eight families were also on guard against each other when they
teamed up against the Whitley family. They didn't dare go all out as they didn't want to end up doing the work for someone else.
The three Divine Realm cultivators from the Whitley family, however, put their lives on the line to defend it. What makes you think
the Divine Realm cultivators from the eight families could kill all three of them without being wounded?”
Harvey fell silent after hearing that.
That incident from ten years ago was a dark moment in history, so most of its details were not recorded in writing. The battle was
intense, but the ending was rather rushed. The entire battle and aftermath ended in less than ten days...
After giving it some thought, Harvey realized something was amiss.
“Dad, are you saying that—”
“Yes.” Graeme looked out the window and stared at the core of the ancestral land as he continued, “The Blackwood family isn't
the only one with a wounded Divine Realm cultivator. All Divine Realm cultivators from the eight families sustained severe
injuries. No one can confirm how many of them are still alive today.”
