Death… And Me Chapter 1618 Path

Chapter 1618 Path

"Did you give him the Divine Stones necessary for the journey?" Rean asked.
However, Roan snorted in response after hearing that. "Hmph! As if! He better try to find a way to earn Divine Stones on his own."
Rean didn't know whether to laugh or cry once he heard his reply. "Did you forget that we need Fluki's help to traverse the continental barrier? What if something happens to him along the way?"
"If something happens, then that's it. It's not like we don't know how to look for other ways of passing through the barrier. At our present level, it would be a lot easier as well," Roan explained. "Besides, I have a strong feeling he'll definitely be there."
Rean could only nod in the end. "If you say so..." In any case, he still had a doubt. "Just one thing. You do know that we have the Divine Stones to teleport there. However, since Luan doesn't have access to it anymore, won't he take much longer to arrive? How long do you intend to wait in Danglan City?"
Roan already expected Rean to ask that, so he replied, "I'm going to wait until the time for Destiny Avoidance Mode is up." That meant one year, three months, and two weeks.
Rean still found it to not be enough time. After all, it wasn't like Luan could earn Divine Stones as easy as himself. "No, wait. With his real strength, he just might get by with missions. I just wonder if he's mature enough to do this."
Roan shrugged his shoulders in response. "If he wasn't, I wouldn't have let him go. Don't worry. These past one year and eight months were very beneficial for his development." Following that, Roan changed the topic. "Anyway, the time is up. Shall we leave?"
Rean nodded once he heard that. "Indeed. I'm heading back into the Dimensional Realm. You just keep traveling and call me out if you need anything."
Roan then returned to the city and immediately paid to use the teleport formations. From there, he went straight to Danglan, just like he mentioned. The travel only took a month, though. That's because the cities were close to each other, and the teleport formations could be activated at any time as long as one paid for them.
Roan said he would wait for Luan there, and that's exactly what he did. Just like that, time began to pass in a flash.
One month...
Three months...
Half a year...
On the tenth month after arriving in Danglan, the twins' group had finally finished accumulating enough Divine Energy. Before finding the Divine Stone mine, their Rank Three Divine Stones were almost gone. That meant they would need at least five to six years to go from the Initial Stage to the Middle Stage. However, not only was their supply of Rank Three Divine Stones full, they even had Rank Four Divine Stones!
That, combined with Celis's huge absorption capability, reduced the time they needed to break through by more than 50%. It only took them two years and eight months to get to this point. In fact, they still had four more months of Destiny Avoidance Mode left.
During this time, the level of the sect members also increased by leaps and bounds. If there was a problem, it would be the breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Realm. In the end, finding one's path was anything but easy. The sect got around 600 Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators since it was created. However, only 10% of this number were able to break through into the Soul Transformation Realm.
Don't look down on this number, though. In a normal situation, it would already be a good result even if 1% of the cultivators got to that realm. However, the System Sect had so many fields of work that their numbers had increased tenfold. Naturally, the twins knew the reason for this sudden increase. Sister Orb's classes. Knowledge was power. Knowing more could potentially increase one's chances of understanding what one wanted in life.
The other reason was the side occupations, as well as the new ones related to Circuitry Formation technology. Yes, Rean and Havek decided to introduce this term in the sect after Rean explained more to Havek about the world he came from.
The good thing about the breakthrough into the Soul Transformation Realm came after it happened, though. From that point onwards, the sect members' cultivation speed would soar! Then again, that was expected. Divine Stone rewards, an environment with denser Divine Energy, as well as Celis' presence. All of that deeply affected anyone's cultivation speed.
However, all of this wasn't a surprise for the twins. What really surprised them was what they saw two months later, one year after they arrived in Danglan. It was during this day that Luan finally appeared.
Luan obviously had his own sect badge. As long as another badge or the sect's beacon was within range, both sides would know that they were there.
Luan headed straight to the hotel where Roan was staying. During this time, Roan barely stepped inside the Dimensional Realm, waiting to see if Luan would be able to conclude his task or not. Rean often teased Roan, saying that he truly cared about the kid, which Roan surprisingly didn't deny.
As soon as Luan arrived in front of the room where Roan was staying, the door opened. Luan didn't even have the chance of knocking it. Naturally, it was Roan who opened it, telling him, "You sure took your time, didn't you?"
Luan scratched the back of his head, replying, "Father... not everyone is like uncle Rean, you know? It was quite complicated to make enough Divine Stones to teleport all the way here. You only gave me one year and four months to get here. I think I did pretty well to have arrived with four months to spare, don't you think?"
Roan then faintly smiled after that. "Fine, I'll give you that."
Rean, who saw Luan's arrival through the connection with Roan, quickly came out. "Hey boy, so you made it. Now, this is impressive. Congratulations on reaching the Saint Realm. Only one year to jump one realm and one stage. Truly impressive."
Roan agreed with Rean. "Indeed. Say, what was your path?"
