Chapter 447 - New Friend
Ao and Ula explained everything in the smallest details. They talked about the fact that there is supposed to be only nine in total and that their friend had to go to another Universe to avoid pursuit. By the time they were finished, Lia's expression had already turned into one of disbelief.
She took some time to think and added.
"I think that I indeed have this Blackhole Heavenly Fragment. So far, I haven't seen anyone cultivating as fast as me. Also, I'm indeed several times stronger than other cultivators and demon beasts at the same level. Not to mention that other than Earth Laws, I'm indeed extremely proficient in Space and Time laws as well. It is just that I focused a lot more on Earth Laws, so those two lagged behind."
It was then that Ao noticed something.
"Wait, you said that so far, no one had the same characteristics as you. Does that mean that you made inquires about the Fragment in your Divine Soul?"
Lia nodded.
"Yes. But I had never mentioned that I had it myself."
Ao shook his head.
"That is not the problem here. Only big powers like the Sacred Lands and other influential ones know about the existence of Heavenly Fragments in our Luvile Universe. The fact that you went around asking about it is more than enough for you to be tracked down. We should move immediately."
Ao was right. At this very moment, the All Life Sect already caught the news. There were even several subordinates of their Sect looking for someone like Lia in the region that they are at the moment. Fortunately, Lia never told anyone where she was going. She also stayed in this remote region for quite a few days, so she hasn't been discovered yet.
Different from Askol's time, there is no Divinity Realm looking for her. That is because the information that the All Life Sect got was too vague, and they thought to be just a coincidence or made on purpose. Such a thing had happened thousands of times in the past, so they couldn't mobilize a Divinity Realm Cultivator every time something like that occurs.
During Askol's time, he was able to escape from a High-Level Void Breaking Realm cultivator of the Darkness Sacred Land with just a 1st Stage Soul Forging Realm. Not to mention that the difference in skills, cultivation techniques, and others was enormous. So the Darkness Sacred Land had substantial evidence that Askol was probably a Heavenly Fragment Owner. Only after that did they mobilize a Divinity Realm Cultivator to capture him.
Ula looked worried at Lia. She was definitely in danger at the moment. They just don't know when the enemy would appear.
Lia, on the other hand, simply asked Ula.
"Can others use my smell to find my location as you did?"
Ula shook her head.
"In fact, I wasn't able to feel this particular smell before. It was after Krune used his Tribulation Lightning against me that this change occurred to my nose. Simply put, it was all a coincidence. I reckon that no one else will be able to do so."
Lia nodded and declared.
"Then, there is no danger. As long as I am in my Mountain Form, no one can feel my presence. All that they can see is a mountain, nothing more. As far as my Divine Sense can see, there is no one around. Give me some space, I will go back to my real form."
Ao and Ula were surprised to hear that, so they quickly gave her some space. A few moments later, a new mountain appeared in this place. Not only that, but Lia was very proficient in doing this. If Ao and Ula hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to tell that this mountain wasn't here before. Lia made sure to merge even the borders of her mountain body perfectly with the scenario around.
It was then that Ao, Ula, and Trata received a Divine Sense message from Lia.
"I will stay for a few months like this. I doubt that their investigation will take this long. At the very least, this Sacred Lands that you talked about will give up this region and move into another. After that, Trata and I will move again."
Ao couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you afraid of us bringing them to you instead?"
The one to answer this question was Trata, though.
"Hahaha! Although I won't say that the chances are zero, I very much doubt so. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been a lot easier for your wife to simply lie during our conversation? At that moment, she only mentioned that Lia had a similar smell to your friends called Krune and Feifei. Ula could have invented some other bullshit and then departed with you right after. However, you two still told us everything about the Heavenly Fragments. Considering those actions, I refuse to believe that you have bad intentions."
Ao chuckled. He was starting to like this Earth Beaver quite a bit. He then looked at Ula and suggested.
"What about we stay here for a time too? It seems like cultivating close to Lia is quite good."
Ula smiled and agreed immediately.
"She can also conceal our presence as she did with Trata, so I guess it is fine. Lia, would you mind it?"
Lia was surprised to hear that. So far, she only interacted this closely with Trata, so she was a little lost at what to do with that couple, or better, that family of three.
"Cough, cough. Errr... Sure, why not? As long as you are inside my mountain range, I can conceal your presence since the entire mountain is my body. However, I can't offer you anything close to a house, so it is up to you to accommodate yourself."
Ao nodded.
"No problem, we have a Pocket Dimension Spatial Box. If we need privacy, we can always go inside. It also won't take any space on your Mountain Body."
Just like that, a new Heavenly Fragment owner made contact with Krune's group. Albeit indirectly.
