Chapter 1712 About the Minokawa of the Past

　　"Eleven years," Philip answered straight away.

　　That was indeed a very long time. However, neither Rean nor Roan complained. It didn't matter how they looked at it. Any other method to head to the center of the Realm of Gods would take much longer, maybe hundreds, if not thousands of years. Of course, they still had to ask nonetheless. "Is there any other way to get there faster?"

　　Philip shook his head, telling them, "Unless you have Rank Seven Divine Stones to open the teleport formation, I can't think of any other reason. Our Jhiod Sect does have some Rank Seven Divine Stones, but they won't use it just to send you there. First of all, I'm not sure if the amount we have is enough to even open the teleport formation due to the distance."

　　Rean and Roan immediately nodded after hearing that. Let alone the fact that the sect might not have enough Rank Seven Divine Stones. Those Divine Stones were definitely in the hands of several of the important members of the sect. It wouldn't be a problem to get those stones from one person, but getting them from many people was another thing. In short, it was way too unrealistic. "We understand. Eleven years it is, then."

　　Govin smiled after that. "Do you understand why I said I had a few things to explain? Your view of the Realm of Gods was just too different from the real one. I could tell after you joined the Jhiod Sect. Your strength was not something made to be used in a place like this."

　　Sam added something else. "However, if you do wish to stay in the Jhiod Sect, you have pretty much a guaranteed future. It's just as Roan mentioned. At least here, you can be the head of a chicken." Sam looked at Erla right after, telling her, "The same goes for you. With your bloodline, the center of the Realm of Gods would indeed be more suitable. It's just that you will be far from being the only high-ranked Divine Demon Beast there."

　　Erla didn't even need to think twice, saying in response, "I wish to stay. Terces Continent is my home, and I want to help my race in the Clendes Sea. Since the previous Clendes Sea God left this gift to me, I will use it. Sure, not everyone there was kind to me, but there were those who sacrificed themselves for me to get here, like my father. I won't abandon them."

　　Sam was happy to hear that. "Then, as your new master, I shall give you the necessary guidance." After all, this meant that the Yume Clan of the Jhiod Sect would have someone capable of exerting power on an entire continent.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

　　Philip didn't have anything else to say anymore. "If you guys have any questions, you better ask them now. Otherwise, this meeting will be over."

　　Kentucky immediately raised his wing after hearing that. "Me, me! Senior Philip, on our way here, we heard that another Minokawa was heading in the direction of the Jhiod Sect. I'm the only Minokawa I've seen so far. Could it be that the Minokawa we heard about came to your Jhiod Sect?"

　　Philip was surprised to hear that. "It has been a very long time since that happened. I wasn't the Yume Clan's leader back when we were visited by this Minokawa you talked about."

　　Kentucky's eyes lit up in response. "Do you know if this Minokawa is still around? I'm also on a journey to find my race. I was born in the Mortal Realm, but I did not have the chance to meet my parents at all."

　　Rean nodded, explaining, "He's right. We were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm back when we found Kentucky's egg. We attacked a bandits' outpost, and we found his egg amidst the spoils. Considering the strength of a Minokawa, I find it hard that that group of bandits could have stolen the Minokawa egg from under his parents' nose."

　　Philip agreed with Rean on that point. "Most Divine Demon Bird can't even lay eggs before they reach the Transition Realm. Well, that's the case in the Realm of Gods, at least. I'm not sure if it's the same thing in the Mortal Realm. Nonetheless, a Minokawa that laid an egg back there would still be countless times stronger than anything Foundation Establishment Realm bandits could deal with."

　　He then looked back at Kentucky and told him, "Anyway, the Minokawa that visited us back then was called Ume. He came to our Jhiod Sect since this was the only place he could use the teleport formation leading to the center of the Realm of Gods. Well, not the only place, but it was the closest one he could find. There were other powers in this region of the Realm of Gods that had teleport formations capable of doing the same thing, but they're very far away."

　　"I'm not sure what his cultivation level was, but even the sect master and the ancestors of that time treated him very well. I'm sure he wasn't weak at all. At the very least, he was stronger than I am at the moment. Just so you know, he paid for the teleport formation out of his own pocket. Rank Seven Divine Stones. He had quite a lot of it."

　　"Do you know where he went?" Kentucky asked back.

　　"No idea," Philip answered in response. "All I know is that he already teleported away a long time ago. However, I do know a little about the place he came from. Since you're a Minokawa, perhaps it would be worth checking on your own." 

　　It went without saying that Kentucky would like to try that. "Definitely! Since it will take eleven years for the teleport to be activated on the other side, I might as well go take a look."

　　Rean quickly raised his hand, saying, "I'm curious too! I want to see it!"

　　Celis obviously would prefer to stay with Kentucky. "I'll follow you there so that we can keep our connection. Otherwise, my cultivation speed will decrease." Obviously, that meant all four of them would cultivate slower since they were all connected.
