Death... and me

Back in the Mortal Realm, one could fly as soon as they reached the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. However, they lost that ability when they arrived in the Realm of Gods.

Havek then flew to Rean’s side and said, “Hehe! Just so you know, as a Sea Chilling Spirit, I could fly from the moment I was born. Well, floating would be the best way to put it.”

Rean didn’t mind as he replied, “Who cares? I can fly again! That’s what matters.”

Kentucky didn’t see anything impressive about that, though. “Alright, alright. Can we go already? We’re wasting time in this place.”

Surprisingly, Roan agreed with Kentucky for once. “The dumb bird is right. Let’s go already. I want to find some city so that we can take the teleport formations.”

Luan couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, how long do you think it’ll take for me to fly?”

Roan looked at Luan, who was still in the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. “Now that I think about it, shouldn’t you have accumulated enough Divine Energy already to enter the Nascent Soul Realm?”

Luan nodded in response. “I did. But dad and uncles seemed to be in a hurry to get to this continent, so I didn’t mention it.”

Rean then landed on Luan’s side before he patted his head, telling him, “You could have told us. We would just send you into the Dimensional Realm and let you break through there.” Soon after, Rean got a few extra Rank Two Divine Stones. “Alright, go ahead and make your breakthrough. If there’s anything good with all the waiting you did, it’s that you’ve gotten quite used to your power. You should be able to adjust faster in the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Roan agreed with Rean on that point. “Indeed. Take out the cultivation technique and make your breakthrough. Once you finish it, tell me the changes you feel in the new realm so that I can fix the technique for you. Your Space Affinity makes it quite hard to devise a cultivation technique for the realms you haven’t reached yet because of the lack of experience and information.”

Luan was excited to hear that and immediately sat down. Once again, another breakthrough started right there and went as smoothly as it could. Luan also took the opportunity to tell Roan something. “Oh, right! Dad, I also finished accumulating enough Starlight Energy to get to First Grade Starlight Body.”

Roan was surprised to hear that. “That’s quite impressive. If I knew that, I would have bought more Gargantuan Mikrel Worm blood. Well, this is a relatively common Stage Five Demon Beast, so we’ll be able to buy its blood in most average cities.”

Kentucky landed by their side as well. “Are all of you finished? If so, let’s go. Let me continue to be the one to carry you guys since none of your average flight speeds can match mine.”

No one disagreed with Kentucky on that. Now that Kentucky was in the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm, even Havek, with his Void Tempering Realm cultivation, was probably no match for the Minokawa’s movement. And that was already considering his spatial abilities in the mix.

As they flew away, Rean looked at Luan once more. As mentioned before, even as statues, their bodies didn’t stop developing. With that being said, the five years Luan was unconscious as a statue obviously gave him a teenager body. “We need to increase his teachings. He has a body of a teenager but still has the mind of an eight-year-old.”

Roan nodded. “I thought the same thing. Since Destiny Avoidance Mode is active, we can use this chance to help him mature in the cities we pass by. There are still two years and seven months before it wears off.”

”Just don’t forget that it doesn’t make us immune to problems,” Rean warned Roan. “It just makes it less likely to happen. If we force it, those crazy things will still happen.”

”I am obviously aware of that,” Roan answered. “That’s why we will lay low. To help Luan mature, we will give him some tasks suitable to his level. Don’t worry. Now that I don’t need to worry too much, I have a lot of time to work on it while I relax and cultivate.”

Suddenly, Kentucky’s eyes found something. “Hey, I can see a few cultivators in the distance. Should we stop by and ask where is the closest city?”

Rean nodded in response. “Please do so.”

It was a very common thing. The cultivators Kentucky found were in the demon beast forest to gain experience and make some profit with the demon beast materials. They were around the same level as Luan, so they obviously became quite nervous when Rean’s group arrived.

However, after Rean gave them some good items for cultivators of their level, their nervousness quickly changed into excitement. “Thank you, seniors. Is there anything we can help you with?”

Rean laughed in response. “Hahaha! Of course! My friends and I are traveling around the continent. However, due to a few issues, we got lost. Do you know where we are? If possible, can you show us where the nearest city is located?”

The cultivators immediately nodded in response. “Definitely, senior.” They were very happy that it wasn’t anything complicated. “Here! I have a map in my jade slip.” One of them quickly threw a jade slip to Rean.

After taking a look, Rean was very satisfied. “Okay. Good luck on your hunt.”

Around a day later, they finally arrived at their first city in Xinfia Continent, Glastocen.
