Chapter 2269 Fluki’s Father
Chapter 2269 Fluki’s Father
Roan had mentioned before leaving the Floating Islands of Time that there was something he wanted to check. This something was the Continental Barriers. After it disappeared, it allowed the attack against the Devils. However, why did it disappear? From where does it come from? He thought that something as powerful as the Continental Barrier, which spans all over the Realm of Gods, might have something to do with another Fragment of the Universe Foundation.
Roan pondered a bit about it and nodded at Kentucky. ‘Yes, we will delay our investigation. In any case, whether it has a Universe Foundation Fragment or not is just speculation. To be honest, even I think a fragment alone shouldn’t be able to generate all the Continental Barriers of the Realm of Gods. It is just way too much of it.’
Rean then remembered something. ‘Right! Luan, can you ask Fluki what happened to the Continental Barrier Spirits and Demon Beasts that lived inside it?’
Fluki, who cultivated by relying on the virtues of others, was still living in Luan’s Sea of Consciousness. He was a Continental Barrier Spirit that the twins used many times to help traverse the Continental Barriers.
Luan nodded inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and used his connection to Fluki to wake him up.
*Zush!*
In a moment, a Spirit that seemed to be a mix of kiwi and a dolphin appeared in front of Luan. “Yawnnnnn… Well… It had been a long time since you woke me up. What is it? Do you need to get through the Continental Barrier again?” Sure enough, he had exactly the same cultivation as Luan, which showed the tight connection the two had after all this time.
Luan shook his head and used his Divine Sense to explain the whole situation.
“What?! The Continental Barrier disappeared?” Fluki was shocked to hear that. “That’s…”
Seeing Fluki’s expression, Rean’s group understood that he seemed to know something. “What is it? Do you know why it disappeared?”
Back then, Fluki’s father was the one who reached an agreement with the twins and Luan to let Fluki travel with them. In exchange, Fluki would be able to use Luan’s virtues to cultivate. The twins didn’t know which realm Fluki’s father was, though. All they knew was that Fluki’s father was in a very high realm. That said, perhaps Fluki’s father truly knew a lot more about the Continental Barriers.
Fluki thought about some things his father mentioned in the past before explaining. “All I know is that the continental barrier has a source. I once asked my father if it was possible for our barrier to disappear, and he didn’t answer me. He could have said no, but he didn’t. So… I guess something happened to this source. As to what the source is and how you can manipulate it to stop the Continental Barrier, that I don’t know.”
The twins had their theory from many years ago that the Continental Barrier might be alive, but they also couldn’t confirm it. Now that the Continental Barrier stopped, Roan wanted to check it. But that would mean not going back to the Mortal Realm to investigate things with Eagon. After all, there is no way to know how long such exploration might take.
“So, what about the Continental Barrier Spirits, Fluki?” Luan asked him once again. “Your father told us many of the Continental Barrier Spirits can’t live outside it. Does that mean they all died?”
Fluki shook his head. “I don’t know, but it is possible. Unless they reached a high level like my father, there is a good chance that it is the case. Or perhaps it is not the barrier that they can’t get too far away from but the cracks from where the barrier rises. Or perhaps it is both situations. I truly can’t say.”
Rean nodded outside the Dimensional Realm. ‘Alright. I was just curious about it, so we can’t do much now. Talking about curious… Fluki, you are at the Space Bending Realm now, just like Luan. Is this cultivation realm big enough for you to live outside the Continental Barrier?’
Fluki shook his head. ‘No, but I’m very close. I’m sure my body will be able to sustain itself without the Continental Barrier once I reach the Elemental Space Realm.’
Rean nodded. ‘That means your father is at the very least an Elemental Space Realm Barrier Spirit since he can live outside.’
‘I would say so,’ Fluki agreed with Rean.
‘Alright, you can go back to sleep, Fluki. We will call you once we decide to explore the Continental Barrier Cracks,’ said Roan.
Fluki nodded and instantly disappeared into Luan’s Sea of Consciousness.
Not long after, the twins saw two people coming from the Jikli Clan’s direction. Naturally, they were Old Worm and Mia, who seemed to be curious about the situation. Yet, she couldn’t identify Rean and Roan with their different appearances, not to mention Old Worm hasn’t told her anything yet. He just said that he had something for her to do and that she should follow him.
Mia couldn’t feel Rean, Roan, and Kentucky’s cultivation, so she was very polite. “Hello, seniors. I’m Mia Orzute, Senior Jakiro’s disciple.”
Rean immediately lost it. “Hahahaha! This feels so weird!”
Roan didn’t seem to care at all. If the age of both his lives was to be considered, it was just proper to call him Senior since he was definitely the oldest there. Rean, on the other hand, not so much… Well, he spent a few hundred years in the Dimensional Realm, but one must not forget the time displacement his group suffered when they were brought to the Realm of Gods. In the end, it was hard to say if Mia was older or Rean was. By now, they have already stopped counting how long they lived.
Mia looked confused. “Master, did I say something wrong?”
Old Worm faintly smiled, which was very rare. “You will know in due time.”
Roan wasn’t in the mood to continue waiting, though. “Alright, let’s get out of here.”
