Chapter 2925: Have You Seen Enough?
In the seventh level, the environment changed completely. The flow of Yin Energy actually went down, but the concentration increased several times. As the twins flew in there, they passed by many Yin Type Spirits, but Demon Beasts became quite scarce.
‘Weird…’ Roan narrowed his eyes. ‘We have been flying around for a while, but not only have we not found any Profound Soul Herbs, we also haven’t found a single Stage Six Demon Beast or Spirit.’
‘Stage Five and below are plenty, though,’ Rean pondered a bit. ‘Could it be the reason the Clan says to not come here? Not because there are Stage Six Spirits and Demon Beasts, but because there are way too many Stage Five ones that it becomes dangerous for anyone in the Nascent Soul Realm and below.’
Roan thought about the places they passed and nodded. ‘It is a possibility.’
However, they noticed the environment changing again as the Yin Energy began to disappear. The Demon Beasts and Spirits’ concentration slowly shifted. Finally, the dark conditions of the area gave way to a bright yellow.
‘Quite a good concentration of Yang Energy,’ Rean couldn’t help but comment as he looked at the ceiling-covered crystals. It was those yellow crystals that emitted so much Yang Energy. ‘That explains why the flow of Yin Energy stopped and got concentrated. It couldn’t move into this area with Yang Energy,’ Roan also commented. ‘It reminds me of that place in the underworld of Lisan, where all the Yang and Light Energy of the Underworld are concentrated. Of course, in this case, it is due to these crystals.’
Back then, the twins found out that due to the underworld’s environment, most of the Light Element and Yang Energy of the place ended up concentrating in small pockets. Those places were extremely rich in them but were very small as well.
Suddenly, Rean and Roan stopped. Not that they couldn’t go forward, but because they
entered the range of someone’s Spiritual Sense.
‘Transition Realm…’
Transition Realm was Rean’s limit for his Light and Divine Sense Bensing Skill. However, because both Rean and Roan only entered the very end of that Transition Realm Expert’s Spiritual Sense range, Rean could still make it work. If Rean and Roan continued forward, however, Rean wouldn’t be able to do so.
Their Peak Divinity Realm Souls could hide their cultivations from a transition realm expert easily, but they wouldn’t be able to hide their bodies.
‘What now?’ Rean asked, already retreating a little.
Roan followed him. ‘We didn’t come here to investigate anyway. We only want the Profound Soul Herb, and the Profound Soul Herb will never grow in an ambient rich with Yang Energy. We are much more likely to find it going back. We haven’t explored even 1% of the areas on our way here anyway.’
Finally, they left the range of the Transition Realm Spiritual Sense and made their way back, where Yin Energy was mostly concentrated. If they said they weren’t curious about the place with Yellow Crystals and rich Yang Energy, that would be a lie. But then again, they had seen a lot, so it wasn’t like they had to go in there to find out.
Their search bore fruits. Half a day later, they finally found their very first Stage Six Spirit. The Spirit had the form of a gelatinous star and was surrounded by thousands of other spirits of all levels. Even for Rean and Roan, going against so many spirits like that wouldn’t be a good idea.
‘Maybe we should have waited for the Nascent Soul Realm…’ Rean joked as he looked at the situation. With his bending skills, none of the spirits could see or feel the twins.
Roan ignored him and looked further ahead. On the back of that agglomeration of Spirits, he definitely could see the Profound Soul Herb with his Spiritual Sense. There was a problem, though. Rean’s Divine Sense Bending skill could protect them against the Spiritual Senses… as long as they were far enough. For Spirits like this, Rean and Roan could even get a few meters near them, and they wouldn’t notice it.
However, there were just way too many Spirits. Let alone a few meters, there wasn’t even enough space to get past them without touching one at some point. They were covering the entire area. Near the Profound Soul Herbs, some much smaller and fainter Spirits seemed to tend to them.
‘Can we get close?’ Rean wondered.
‘We could try to lure them away,’ Roan suggested. ‘We don’t need to have all of them following us. We just need enough of them away so that we have enough space without being revealed.’
Suddenly, another Spiritual Sense entered Rean’s Divine Sense Bending skill. The twins quickly looked behind and moved away. The Spiritual Sense was coming in their direction, so they prepared to fight as well. Worst of all, the Spiritual Sense was definitely in the Saint Realm, which would be a little too much for the twins at the moment.
However, the twins noticed the owner of the Spiritual Sense only passed near them and continued forward to meet the spirits. The guy wasn’t there for them. Rean and Roan looked at each other and used their Spiritual Senses to watch what was happening.
Finally, the cultivator stopped in front of all the spirits, seeing that they were ready to attack. “I’m Arlo, a direct disciple of High Elder Willot. Stram, come to see me.”
The leading Spirit that the twins were watching before approached while all the other spirits opened a passage for him. “What? It is still not time to deliver the yearly batch of herbs.”
Arlo snorted. “Where is your respect? Should I mention to you what will happen if I tell Master you are causing trouble?”
Stram immediately grew wary. “I don’t want problems. What is it you need, sir?” “That’s more like it,” Arlo smiled. “I don’t need your herbs. Instead, I want you to help me find some cultivators. I’m looking for cultivators who are at least in the Soul Transformation Realm and might have entered this level recently. Send your minions to look for them and report to me if you find anyone.”
Stram felt relieved Arlo didn’t want the herbs. “Very well. Is there a reason for it?”
“They killed one of my fellow brothers, and he is a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert,” Arlo spoke as killing intent escaped his body. “Whoever it is, they must pay. Now, I need to warn the other spirits and demon beasts to go looking for them as well. You better not ignore this order.” Right after, Arlo flew away, passing by the twins again.
‘Soul Transformation Realm?’ Rean thought about it.
‘It is obviously us…’ Roan added. ‘It’s just they believe you would need at least a Soul Transformation Realm to kill that guy. Didn’t you see that Arlo guy’s face? It was the same as the one you got from the other guy’s memories.’
‘Oh!’ Rean knew he had seen him somewhere before. ‘Well, not our problem.’
Finally, Arlo disappeared in the distance, leaving the twins and the spirits behind. However, Rean and Roan didn’t expect what happened next.
“So, the two kids hiding over there, have you seen enough?” Stram spoke as he moved in Rean and Roan’s direction. Surprisingly, he knew the twins were there somehow.
