Death... and me

Chapter 2347 To the Devils' Territory

Kentucky and Rean didn't even stop to meet Luina in the Jamai Sect. As soon as they arrived, they paid for another Long-Distance Teleport Formation and disappeared once again. This time, they went to a city called Joshuy. It was one of the big cities of Lantripass Continent and had one of the military teleport formations set up.

Rean and Kentucky, using their fake appearance, showed their identification, which was now done through the communication badge. They weren't teleported straight away, though. Such Teleport Formations cost a lot of high-level Divine Stones. That said, the teleportations were only done when enough experts gathered. 

Kentucky and Rean were already lucky, though. Most of the cultivators who joined the war had to travel by airships, packed inside in the thousands. That is another reason why preparation for the war took so long. For experts of Rean and Kentucky levels, they at least had access to free teleportation. That only happened for groups with Void Tempering Realm experts or above.

Of course, Rean could just pay and have himself teleported away without having to wait. Still, he only had to wait a day, and he would save his Divine Stones, so he didn't mind. 

Rean then went out of the recruitment office where the teleport formation was located and rented a room in a hostel. There was another thing Rean wanted to check before going to the Devils' Territory.

*Zush, zush, zush.*

Hamarlia, Roan, and Turen once again appeared. Hamarlia obviously held the two lockets. "Should we try it now?"

Everyone nodded. The idea was quite simple. Back in the Huring Continent, the two lockets only showed a simple direction to move. It wasn't possible to even tell whether it was in the Realm of Gods or not. However, now that they had left such a faraway place and come to the Central Area, the arrow was bound to have changed direction.

If the arrow still pointed relatively in the same direction after going this far, then it was pretty much guaranteed it was pointing somewhere beyond the boundaries of the Realm of Gods. If it changed a lot, then it was most likely still in the Realm of Gods.

The two lockets activated, with one of them using Hamarlia's blood to have the extra reaction. The same blood-golden arrow appeared above the map projected in the middle of the room. It spun just like before, trying to find its target. Finally, it began to stabilize before stopping in a specific direction. 

The twins' group's eyes narrowed when they saw it. "Even after going from Huring all the way here in Joshuy, the arrow has barely moved at all..."

Roan nodded. "That pretty much confirms it. The location it is pointing at is most likely outside the Realm of Gods. If it is the Realm of Gods, then it will be at the very outskirts of it. As you all know, the further away we go, the harder it is to find Long-Distance Teleport Formations. Rean had to open countless Spatial Gates in the Demon Beast Territory until he finally arrived in a Demon Beast city with one. Considering the change in the arrow, we can be sure it is truly, truly far away. We might have to rely on Spatial Gates once again."

Rean agreed with him. "Indeed. In that case, coming to the Devils' Territory to find that Essence Race member was the best option. Before we reach the Space-Time Realm, our Spatial Gates can't go that far. It will be better to wait for a breakthrough before we take this journey."

"Well, we are already in the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm. The next step is the Space-Time Realm. It will be fine," said Kentucky.

Rean then looked at Hamarlia. "Sorry, Mom, but it will have to wait. We are simply powerless to change it at the moment."

Hamarlia shook her head. "It's fine. The one who was supposed to find a solution is not you, but your useless dad here. Isn't he supposed to be one of the experts with the highest cultivation in the Universe? Yet, he is trapped in that temporal whatever. Such a disappointment..."

Turen bitterly smiled. It wasn't like he was really trapped since he could come out if he wanted. It's just that there would be way too many experts at the same level as him, hunting him down for his Fragment of the Universe Foundation. Everyone knew he possessed one of those. "Ahem... I'm working on it..."

Rean glanced at Turen's helpless face and felt like laughing. 'Hasn't she forgiven you already?'

Turen sighed in response. 'She did... but that doesn't mean she isn't angry about it. Boy, we haven't done 'that' ever since I told her about my real identity.'

Rean was speechless. That was the kind of information he truly would rather not know about. Who would want to know about the sexual life of their parents? 'Errr... hold in there.' That was all he could say in the end.

Turen nodded, feeling dejected.

Roan didn't want to waste time there, though. "Alright, since it is decided, then let's go back. Rean and Kentucky will stay and teleport to the Devils' Territory tomorrow. Let's go."

The next day, Rean and Kentucky left the hostel, moving to the recruitment center. When they got there, they saw quite a few tens of cultivators, most of them in the Void Tempering Realm. Because there was still a lot of space remaining, the officers also added a few Transition Realm experts who were lucky enough to be here at the right time. Otherwise, they would have to wait for the next airship and take several months to reach their destination.

Rean and Kentucky could also see five Space Bending Realm experts in the midst of the groups. Everyone treated them with respect.

As for the Elemental Space Realm, only Rean and Kentucky fulfilled that criteria.

Around an hour later, the manager of that recruitment office came out. "Everyone, thank you for waiting. This teleport is going to the Tormalek Continent, which is one of the most dangerous continents in this war. Make sure this is truly the destination you selected before stepping on the teleport formation."

Rean and Kentucky didn't think twice, walking to the formation. Everyone else followed suit. Most of them were after the rewards of the Merit System, and a continent like this would be where they could make more points the fastest.

Just as the teleport formation was about to activate, a voice echoed from the distance. "Wait! I'm going too!"

Everyone turned their heads in the direction and saw a kid running in their direction. He looked to be no more than five or six, yet none of them could see through his cultivation. Well, Rean and Kentucky could, though. 'Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage too...'

The 'kid' quickly stepped on the formation before giving a smile to Rean and Kentucky. Naturally, he also noticed that Rean and Kentucky had the same cultivation as him. "Nice to meet you."

Before Rean and Kentucky could answer, the teleport formation activated, and everyone disappeared.
