Death… And Me-Novel

The other people weren't much slower than Rean's group when it came to cultivating, though. Then again, it's not because Rean and the others were not fast, but because they needed a lot less Divine Origin Energy to achieve their breakthroughs. If one also counted the amount of Divine Origin Energy that the twins absorbed, then they were definitely much faster. That's why quite a few had broken through a similar number of stages as the twins. Googlᴇ search ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

Of course, that also made a few of them perplexed as they could see that Rean's group was absorbing more Divine Energy than them. Even with all that energy, they were still at the same pace. Some thought that it was possibly because of a bad cultivation technique, while others simply thought they were holding back on purpose.

In any case, the twins' group didn't care. They continued with their ridiculous absorption of Divine Origin Energy. In fact, Rean was right in the end.

After five and a half days had passed, the twins had finally arrived at the door of the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Celis and Kentucky, obviously, were there as well. They immediately pushed forth and achieved their breakthroughs without any issues. One entire cultivation realm. That's what the twins' group was able to do with the Divine Origin Energy from this Divine Plane.

Naturally, they didn't simply stop there. Although the faint light barrier around their bodies was almost gone, it was still there. According to what they've hypothesized before, it should last another half a day. Of course, this wouldn't be enough to reach the door of the Transition Realm. In fact, even if they stayed the last one day and a half cultivating in this place, it still wouldn't be enough. As always, the higher one went, the more energy one would need. From what Rean and Roan can see, they would need more than two days to do that. With that said, the Divine Plane won't stay open that long.

In the meantime, in a separated place, a group of cultivators had reached what seemed to be a white chamber. It was completely sealed by many inscriptions. That chamber floated in the air and had many chains attached to it from the ground. If one paid attention to the surroundings, it would be pretty obvious that no one stepped in this place for a very, very long time.

If Hurio was here, he would immediately recognize the group of cultivators that had arrived. They were none else other than Hurio's sister and her group, including Elder Lamanto. However, they seemed to be in pretty bad shape. When they separated from Hurio and Lilia, they still had ten members in total. Now only four people remained.

Mira couldn't see very well as she had lost one of her eyes. Lamanto, the only Void Tempering Realm cultivator in their group, fared worse. He missed a leg and had a very deep cut on his shoulder and waist. If he was a normal person, he would be dead already. The other two had also received severe injuries and were missing some parts of their bodies. As for the rest that wasn't here, they had already moved on to the path of reincarnation.

Mira's group looked around with caution in their eyes. If not for the circumstance, they would have sat down to heal themselves. In any case, the place was full of Divine Origin Energy. If it was any other time, it would be a perfect place to cultivate. However, Mira and the others didn't care about any of that.

Mira then looked at Lamanto before asking, "Elder Lamanto, we're finally here. What should we do now?

Lamanto nodded and began to walk ahead. "It depends on the ancestor's decision." At some point, Lamanto stopped in front of the front chamber. "Ancestor, we're here. Just as mentioned in the old records, the traps lost most of their powers after all these years. We lost a few members from our Hiken Race, but the fact that four of us reached this place alive is proof that the time is ripe."

Suddenly, the chamber shone with white light before that light converged in front of Lamanto. A few moments later, the light took on the form of a body. In fact, Rean and Roan would definitely recognize the body. It was none other than the guy who demanded Rean to put the Fallen Light Star Sphere back in its place. "Well done. There's no need to worry about those who died when you tried to reach this place. I'll make sure to guide their souls so that they can reincarnate in our clan once again. They should recover their memories from this life after they reach the Nascent Soul Realm."

Lamanto was happy to hear that, replying with gratitude, "Thank you, ancestor."

Mira and the other two also got close and paid their respects to the little boy made of light. It's just that the boy didn't seem to care much about such things. "That's enough courtesy. Did you bring what I asked you?"

Lamanto immediately nodded before he took an arrow tip from his spatial ring. Well, at least it resembled something like it. "We have kept it hidden under the Trigram Energy Concealing Formation, just as mentioned in the records. However, now that we brought it outside, they might have noticed its presence."

The little boy shook his head, telling him, "Don't worry. Even if they did, they would never reach this place in time. I've been recovering during all these years, so if they try to cause trouble for me, they'll need to pay a very heavy price."

The little boy then extended his hand after that. Soon, the arrow tip on Lamanto's hand was brought to the boy. Then, the boy made a closing gesture with his fist, and as a result, the arrow tip shattered. Naturally, that obviously surprised Lamanto and the others. They had protected that item for so long, but the little boy didn't seem to care.

It was then that they saw something that looked like a very, very small bead appear. Well, to be more precise, it looked like an eye. But even then, they didn't say anything.

The little boy faintly smiled after seeing that.. "Hehe! I guess it's finally time to leave this place."
