Death... and me

Chapter 1735 After Kentucky

Rean took the chance to ask the elders of the Yume Clan about it, which they confirmed. “Indeed, the cultivation limit is the peak of the Transition Realm for the Jamai Sect Selection. Also, the cultivators, demon beasts, spirits, or whatever, must be under 200 hundred years old.”

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky fit the requirements, but Celis was totally out of the question. Well, only Rean and Roan would take part anyway. “I see… by the way, including us, how many Jhiod Sect members will we bring to Jamai Sect six years from now?”

One of the elders then started to point out, saying, “Everyone who will take part in it is here to watch or fight with your weapon intent group. There’s a total of twenty slots. You and your brother are getting two of them. Those three you talked to, Xapha, Kruia, and Qisei are obviously part of them.”

He continued, “The ones you should pay attention to, however, are Flixa, Zunti, and Vrilano. They are the top geniuses of the Illor and Kafun Clans. Well, if you use your weapon intents, they’ll be more or less at your fighting level. After all, your weapon intents give you two at least an extra stage in overall strength.”

Roan couldn’t help but ask, “Is it just the immortal cultivation techniques that allow these people to fight at our level? I refuse to believe that.”

The elder shook his head, responding, “Of course not! They also have top-quality body cultivation techniques. Well, top-quality for a place like this. There are definitely much better ones in Jamai Sect, let alone in the center of the Realm of Gods. Their Soul Powers have all been treated with extreme care, so they also rank very high in it.”

Of course, those words caught Rean’s attention. “At which level are they in their body cultivation techniques?” He wanted to know that since he and Roan were in the Third Grade of their Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. They already had the necessary cultivation to break through to the Fourth Grade. It’s just that they still need time to finish accumulating enough Starlight Energy.

Roan was obviously interested in it as well. “Also, are they all using the same body cultivation techniques?”

The elder shook his head, replying, “Of course not! A body cultivation technique that works for someone might not be as good for someone else. We have different humanoid races and genders, after all. However, all their Body Cultivation Techniques are at least at the same level, the fifth level.”

“Fifth level…” Rean and Roan murmured. That at least served to confirm that the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique was much better. After all, they were in the third grade but could fight at the same level. Once they broke through to Fourth Grade, none of the geniuses of the Jhiod Sect would be their match anymore, even if they didn’t use weapon intents. “Thank you, elder.”

Suddenly, another elder of the Jhiod Sect called everyone’s attention. “Everyone has arrived already. Rean, Roan, Galato, and Brimi. As you can see, there are four arenas here. Just get into one of them and wait for your opponent. Everyone else can watch the battles to try and understand your own weapon intent.”

Rean and Roan nodded as they got into the arena. Obviously, each arena had a high-level elder to make sure no permanent harm would come to any of the participants.

In the end, the elders of the Jhiod Sect knew that due to their age, they would have a harder time comprehending weapon intents. With that being said, they decided to leave the battles for the younger generation, especially the ones who would go to the Jamai Sect in six years.

Rean and Roan, as Late Stage Transition Realm cultivators, were obviously selected to fight the top geniuses straight away. Their strength was supposed to be similar, so it was better to do that. Besides, Galato and Brimi had only awakened their Weapon Intent Seeds. With that, one didn’t need to be a genius to understand that it was better to experience the weapon intents from Rean and Roan, who were at the third level, Call of the Weapons. Rean got Xapha on his side, while Roan got one of the guys the elder of the Yume Clan mentioned, Zunti.

“Each battle can’t last more than 30 minutes as the weapon intent owners need to rest for the next two battles. Each day will only have three battles, so the spectators and those who will fight better make sure to make the most of the time. Now, if no one has anything to complain about, you can start!”

And just like that, the twins would start a daily training schedule that would last six entire years. Well, Roan was quite happy about it since he would be able to fight a lot of opponents with different abilities. He could test many things he was curious about.

Six months went by until finally, Libraia arrived at Astonkay Country. With her position in the Jhiod Sect and her cultivation, it went without saying that she could reach this place much faster than Kentucky. In fact, she could have been even faster, but Libraia really didn’t want to go back to Jhiod Sect so soon. She knew that everyone would be all over the weapon intents, and she didn’t want to start fighting a lot of sect members every day.

“Celis, this is the place,” said Libraia, looking at the continent ahead of her, the continental barrier behind her back.

Celis nodded in response. Even he didn’t expect to get to this place so fast. “This is indeed the place. I can feel Kentucky’s direction.”

However, once again, the experts of the Vulrasic Continent came to see why Libraia appeared. Well, once she showed that she was part of the Jhiod Sect, they let them pass since they had the agreement.

Libraia and Celis went straight to the nearest city after that, quickly taking the teleport formation that led to Astonkay. From there, Libraia used her spatial powers to bring both of them to the mountain range where Celis could feel Kentucky.
