Death… and me

Chapter 1537 - The Hole



Chapter 1537 – The Hole

Surprisingly, it turns out that the place they were in was right below the white tower. It’s just that Rean couldn’t tell which side of the tower it was. Levid then nodded in response and guided Rean outside the building. With that, Rean was finally able to see the area where the formation was. “That’s quite a big formation.”

The area below was at least a kilometer wide. However, it didn’t go very deep. After all, the Upside Down World had a barrier that prevented anyone from escaping. ‘Speaking of the barrier, I guess that hole in the center of the formation is connected to it.’

Surprisingly, Rean was right. At the center of the formation, there was a hole which one could see the barrier from. Then again, Rean couldn’t tell what was being done there as he was too far away.

Other than that, Rean could see a total of twenty-one cultivators. They were all working on the formation, although they all had complicated expressions on their faces. One didn’t need to be a genius to tell that things weren’t going very well for them.

Once they got closer to the formation, another Formation Master, someone who seemed to be in charge of everyone in this place, came to see Levid, saying, “Levid, who is this brat? Did you forget how important this place is? You can’t just bring fucking anyone here! Even if you’re a Grand Elder, I won’t tolerate it!”

Levid didn’t seem to mind the man’s words as he introduced the man to Rean. “This lovely person who has a way with flowery words is Grand Elder Vaz. He’s one of the three Golden-level Formation Masters of our purging organization.”

Vaz’s expression turned worse when he heard that. “Are you making fun of me?”

Levid smiled back at Vaz as he replied, “How could I? It’s thanks to your leadership that we got this far in our plan. I’m just talking about your inner self, which is definitely a very good person.” Before Vaz could complain more, Levid introduced Rean, saying, “This young boy’s name is Rean. He was a pawn from the Sacred Undersea Kingdom until he and his brother were caught by the phenomenon. Don’t look down on his appearance. His cultivation was much higher than it is right now. It’s just that he had to burn his Nascent Soul.”

Vaz was surprised to hear that. He didn’t care about Rean’s previous cultivation, but the Sacred Undersea Kingdom’s name definitely carried some weight. “Sacred Undersea Kingdom’s pawn? Someone like that wouldn’t have access to as many resources and knowledge as the aquatic demon beasts, though.”

Rean nodded, saying, “That’s true. However, what I had was enough for me to become a Formation Master. That’s why Senior Levid brought me here. Well, I still don’t know what you’re trying to do.”

Vaz pondered a bit in silence before asking, “Formation Master, huh? In that case, what’s your level? I’m sorry, but we have no use for anyone below the Silver High-level. If you can’t perform as well as this, you might as well go back.”

Levid smiled even more as he replied, “There’s no need to worry. Our little friend here is a Golden Peak-level Formation Master.”

Immediately, Vaz’s expression changed. He looked at Rean with incredulity but couldn’t believe Levid’s words. “Is that true? Are you really, really a Golden Peak-level Formation Master?”

Rean nodded in response, saying, “That I am. If you wish, I don’t mind making some simple formations at the Golden level for you to see. By the way, Senior Vaz, what’s your level as a Formation Master?”

Vaz didn’t mind answering, saying, “If you’re telling the truth, then I’m one stage below you. I’m a Golden High-level Formation Master. You better don’t look down on me, though. I reached my level in this shitty-ass world. To get here, I had to create my own Golden High-level formations from scratch.”

Rean was the one to be surprised now. “That’s an amazing feat, Senior Vaz. I respect you very much for that.”

Vaz’s expression improved a little after that. At the very least, Rean seemed to be sincere in his compliment. “Alright, you can stay. However, you will have to share your knowledge with everyone else so that we can continue the project.” Vaz then looked at Levid and asked, “Did he sign the contract? Since he’s in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, the contract definitely works.”

Levid nodded, answering, “Of course! No one can come here without signing the contract. Well, at least no one below the Void Tempering Realm, that is.”

Vaz nodded, satisfied. Right after, he looked back at Rean, saying, “Don’t think it’s a bad thing to share what you know. Let me tell you in advance. We spent the last thirty years here building a new formation that might bring us out of the Upside Down World.”

Rean nodded without the least bit of surprise, saying, “As I expected.”

“You expected?” Levid and Vaz looked at Rean with confused expressions.

Rean then explained, “First, we’re underground. Second, there’s a huge formation and a hole at the very center that is most likely deep enough to reach the barrier. Look at the arrangements and the secrecy of this place. If you weren’t trying to do something as important as escaping the Upside Down World, what else could it be?”

Vaz and Levid had to admit Rean was right. “Perhaps we spent so much time on this project that we’ve become too used to it.”

Levid then turned around and prepared to leave. “Alright, I have finished my part. I know nothing about formations, so I’ll leave the rest to you guys.”

Vaz agreed with Levid. “Yeah, just go already. Rean, come with me. I’ll gather everyone, and we’ll explain what we’ve been doing so far and what we intend to do with this formation. If you’re really at the level you say you are, you shouldn’t have any issues understanding it.”

Rean didn’t mind and followed Vaz.

Outside, Roan and Celis were brought to the office where they would be included in the purging organization by Himatikia. “Here we are.” Himatikia then looked at the people around and found who she was looking for. “Jimey, I brought some work for you.”
