Death... and me

"Divine Origin Energy?" Rean, Roan, and Kentucky had to admit it was the first time they've ever heard of such a thing. "What is that?"

[Divine Origin Energy!!!] Sister Orb was shocked to hear that. [Holy shit! We're incredibly lucky to have come across this.]

Obviously, it was something very good. Nevertheless, the one who explained was Hurio. "Do you know what realm is above the Transition Realm?" The twins shook their heads and waited for Hurio to continue. "It's the Void Tempering Realm. That's the realm where you start to refine spatial powers into your body. Of course, this is very, very far away from us. In any case, to do that, you would need Divine Origin Energy. Without it, one would find it extremely complicated to surpass the Transition Realm."

Sister Orb also added, [However, that doesn't matter for us as this Divine Origin Energy has other uses.]

Hurio didn't hear what Sister Orb said, so he said similar words. "For now, let's leave the Void Tempering Realm aside. Divine Origin Energy has another use for everyone below the Transition Realm. It can be used for cultivation as well. From what I know, Divine Origin Energy can be found in Rank Seven Divine Stones and above. However, I don't know if our Lanqueas Continent has even one of those things. I would be surprised if we could even find a single Rank Six Divine Stone in the first place."

Rean took a deep breath before saying, "The same goes for Rank Seven Divine Stones. I guess the concentration of Divine Energy in the Divine Stones won't matter anymore after Rank Six then as the type of energy changes."

[You're correct. Rank Seven Divine Stones don't have Divine Energy anymore, but Divine Origin Energy instead. Suppose you consider the concentration of energy alone. In that case, a Rank Six Divine Stone has hundreds of times more energy than a Rank Seven Divine Stone. However, even if you offer thousands of those stones in exchange for a single Rank Seven Divine Stone, I doubt you'll ever find anyone willing to trade.] Sister Orb told them. In fact, Hurio gave them a similar explanation.

Rean couldn't help but ask Hurio after that, "If it's so good, then how come this place is open to the public? Shouldn't this place be sealed by the Lanqueas Sect so that only their elders at the Transition Realm and above can use it?"

Roan agreed with Rean, saying, "He's right. No power would let others use such a gold mine."

However, Hurio shook his head. "It's useless. You don't know how vast the Lost Star Realm is. If the Lanqueas Sect alone tried to search this place independently, it would take them countless years to explore everything. Even now, with the place completely open for the public, some say that not even half of it has been explored."

Roan understood after that. "That means the locations with Divine Origin Energy are extremely rare to find. It would be several times better to use everyone else to look for treasures that can fortify the Lanqueas Continent as a whole. Not to mention that it should be a great training place. However, everyone is entering in the hopes of bumping into one of those Divine Origin Energy locations, which means they appear and disappear randomly."

Hurio nodded in response. "That's correct."

Those words reminded Rean of something. "Doesn't it feel like the Divine Energy Stream we came across?" Back when they arrived in the Realm of Gods, Rean and Roan ended up finding a Divine Energy Stream where Divine Energy was condensed in the form of a liquid. There then came a day where it began to evaporate while turning back into normal Divine Energy. Thanks to the huge concentration, the twins were able to jump two stages in cultivation.

Hurio wasn't from the Huring Continent, so he didn't know what Rean was talking about. Rean didn't mention where it was, but he did give Hurio an explanation regarding the Divine Energy Stream lake they found in the past. "Oh! Was there such a thing? Indeed, you could say that they're similar. However, Divine Origin Energy isn't in the form of a liquid. It's just an energy that can be found lingering in the air. It doesn't have any color or anything else like that. Unless you enter the place where it's highly concentrated, you won't notice even if you move a meter away from it."

Hurio then told them the advantages, continuing, "Anyways, it's said that such places only remain open for a few hours before disappearing. But if you're able to find it straight away, those few hours should be enough for you to cultivate at least two small realms. Of course, as long as you're in the Saint Realm or below. Then again, people don't use it to cultivate small realms, though."

Rean and Roan could obviously guess what people used it for. "People who are at a bottleneck and can't find a way to break through, right?"

Hurio smiled in response, nodding. "Smart. Look around. There are many young cultivators, well, young considering their cultivation level. However, there are a lot of old men and women at the peak of their cultivation levels, close to the end of their lifespan. For them, their only chance to reach higher levels is to find one of those Divine Origin Energy areas and use that energy to achieve a breakthrough. For those at bottlenecks, Peak Soul Transformation, Peak Saint Realm, or Peak Elemental Transformation, it's all the same. Divine Origin Energy can help them all."

Rean and Roan were obviously interested in it. With their Yin Yang cultivation manuals, bottlenecks didn't exist, so breaking through small realms was way better. Not to mention that it would save them on the expenditure of their Rank Three Divine Stones. However, they weren't idiots. Two small realms would be impossible for the twins since they needed around three times more Divine Energy than others. In any case, a single small realm in a few hours instead of a whole year was more than welcome.

Surprisingly, even after knowing all that, Roan shook his head. "That's good and all, but it's definitely not something easy to find.. We should focus on the Fallen Light Star Fragments for now. What more can you tell us?"
