Death… and me

Chapter 1267: Going Out

After the deal, Rean went to Roan's residence and shared the things that happened to him. "Well, it was as we thought. They really tried to seal my knowledge."

Roan wasn't the least bit surprised by that, saying in response, "Our own individual power is impressive, but in the grand scheme of things, we're just Saint Realm experts. The Sacred Land wouldn't pay much attention to our secret since Etherian has our backs. However, we knew that your Element Gathering equipment was different from the very start. It would have been the same thing if you shared your communication system with them."

Rean nodded, telling Roan, "It still infuriates me, though. Oh well, at least I got a thousand Rank Three Divine Stones out of it. Sister Orb, how far in cultivation do you think we can go with these babies?"

[Hehehe! You've really made a nice deal there. If you don't mind wasting energy, these stones should be enough to bring Roan, Kentucky, Celis, and you up to the Initial Stage of the next realm. Of course, I'm talking about cultivation speed here. Using Rank Two Divine Stones or staying in the Sacred Land would eventually bring you there as well. However, I can guarantee that it would be a lot slower.]

Roan immediately asked, "So, how long do you think it would take us? I can tell that I can cultivate much faster with these Rank Three Divine Stones than anything else. To be honest, paying 50000 Merit Points for each stone is way too cheap, in my opinion. They're too good."

[I agree with you. Anyways, if you didn't use them, you would need around a year to reach the Middle Stage. Another year and a half for the Late Stage and an extra two years for the Peak Stage. Then, you would take another three years or so to accumulate enough energy to break through to the Elemental Transformation Realm.]

[However, with these Rank Three Divine Stones, you can cut that time in half! Six months for the Middle Stage, another nine months for the Late Stage, and one more year for the Peak Stage. Naturally, you only need another year and a half to try your breakthrough to the next realm. But then again, that's only if you don't mind wasting energy. If you cultivate using these Divine Stones carefully, it will take longer for you to reach those results. In exchange, they will last a lot longer, possibly being able to bring you up to the Middle Stage of the next realm.]

Roan didn't even need to think twice. "Strength is everything. Even if we waste a lot of the stones' energy, we should increase our power as fast as possible."

Rean nodded in agreement. "Then the wasteful method it is."

[I thought you would say something like that. Just distribute these Rank Three Divine Stones between you, Kentucky, and Celis. You can cultivate however you feel like after that.]

Rean then decided what to do. "I will build an Energy Gathering Formation to extract the energy of these stones even faster inside the Dimensional Realm. Celis will be able to cultivate there nonstop."

With that out of the way, Roan finally got up and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, it's time for us to leave. We already have enough Rank Two and Rank One Divine Stones for our journey."

Rean followed suit. "So be it. You already obtained all the information necessary from Senior Etherian, right?"

Roan nodded in response. "Yes." Soon after, light Element covered the twins' bodies before their appearance changed completely. They also used the alchemist dyes to change the color of their hairs. Roan then pointed to the side. "Come with me."

Roan then brought Rean to a corner of his residence, where a secret passage soon opened. "I haven't stayed still all this while. I asked Kihin how he was able to make a secret passage without anyone noticing and added it to my house as well. With this, no one will see us leaving my house."

Rean then saw a problem. "But what about Kentucky? He's still in the Beast Taming Hall. If we go there and fetch him, others will notice."

Roan shook his head, assuring Rean, "I already took care of that. While you were teaching the elders of the Blacksmith Hall, I passed by the Beast Taming Hall and let Kentucky leave. He'll be waiting for us at a designated point."

With everything out of the way, the twins sneaked out of Roan's residence. Following that, they left the Sacred Land through a teleport formation, heading to the city below. One must remember that the Sacred Land was floating right above Huring City. Nevertheless, Rean couldn't help but sigh as he looked up at the skies. 'In the end, we didn't find much about the formations that sustain the Sacred Land there. I wish I could have studied them a little.'

Roan shook his head, saying, 'Thye definitely wouldn't let you do so. First of all, other than Sister Orb, who told us about it, the number of people who know about those formations is very low. That's a secret we shouldn't be aware of as far as the Sacred Land is concerned.'

Rean had to admit Roan was right. 'Whatever. It's too late now.' Rean then asked something else. 'By the way, did you leave a secret message for Elder Etherian?'

Rean was talking about the message about the Flash Beast in Kamos Kingdom. They were planning to let the Sacred Land know about it after they were gone.

'I did.' Roan nodded as he answered. 'The message will be delivered to Etherian's residence in a month's time. By then, we should be well and truly gone already.'

Rean nodded after hearing that. 'Alright, let's fetch Kentucky and then head to the Cosgles Race's village. I want to take all the remaining Earth's Remnants they gathered during these last few months. I used most of the remnants I had, so I need to stockpile.'

Roan didn't mind as they could pass by there very fast. Outside the city, the twins found Kentucky, hiding in the place Roan told him to. After putting the Demon Bird inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, they returned to the city before teleporting away.
