Chapter 945: Entering The Ascended Realm
"Kana, look." Creige pointed at the strange markings on the stone steps. Each step was covered in these runes.
Kana rubbed her butt as she looked at the runic markings. Her head buzzed until she found information regarding the runes. "The ancient Telerian race? Why would they have these runes here?"
"The ancient Telerian race?" Creige was confused.
"It's a race from ages past. One of the very first to ever be created after the time of chaos. Things are still fuzzy, but from what I understand, this kind of runic markings should not be here as they should not have a connection to this world unless…." Kana remembered the chaos being she absorbed and felt like this planet might be some kind of fragment of ancient past.
"Then do you know what it says?" Creige asked. He never thought there would be a place where even Kana would have some of her power restricted with how powerful she was now.
"It says that those who wish to climb must climb normally. It basically binds all air travel above the steps. Jumping is about the only thing you can do to a certain extent. Other than that, it has a gravity field that gets stronger the higher you go, but this doesn't affect us. The rest of the runes you see scratched about the steps are all binding runes to bind what is transcribed here. The Telerian race was known for their words of law. Similar to Angelica's ability to use words to control a person's soul, these runes are doing the same but to the physical area around them. And because my abilities with chaos are not very high at the moment, these runes are even enough to bind me. This was probably the same runes used to seal the chaos being." Kana sighed as she looked at the tall steps. It was unfair! Why did she have to climb up normally!?
"Then…." Creige knelt down and stuck his head between Kana's legs and hoisted her up on his shoulders, causing her to yell out in surprise. She placed her hands on Creige's head and stared at him in shock. Creige chuckled as he said: "Now you can climb up. Just stand on my shoulders to reach the edge."
Kana smiled and leaned her head down while pulling Creige's head back and kissing his lips. "Thank, Creige."
Like this, the two worked together to climb the steps. Kana would be hoisted up, and she would grab the edge of the step and pull herself up. Once she was up, she would reach down and help Creige up, who only needed to jump and grab hold of her hand. Because the binding on the step only blocked flying, jumping a few feet was nothing, but it seemed anything over five feet was considered flying, and you would be stopped from going any higher.
As for the gravity influence on each step, Kana and Creige never noticed it as they quickly climbed the steps in almost an hour. When they reached the top, they found themselves in an open stone platform where two old men sat at a stone table playing some sort of game. They looked over at Kana and Creige with a short glance, but that glance soon turned wide eyed as they began shivering. "Your excellencies!"
"Hmmm?" Kana turned to the old men and looked at them in confusion. She was wondering why they were pressing their foreheads on the ground. "Creige, these people are weird."
"It might be some kind of tradition. We shouldn't judge them." Creige replied. With that, the two took off into the sky, leaving behind two old men who were still bowing.
"Old One, we can lift our heads. They left."
"Old Two, what the hell was that? Why were god realm cultivators coming from the immortal realm?"
"Who knows? It's very rare for such deity realm cultivators to even show their faces now we see a god realm cultivator. It could have something to do with the disturbance from before. We both did break through a few stages due to it."
"What you say is true. Let's hope there won't be…." As he was about to speak, another heavy presence filled the air.
"Mama came this way, right?" Angelica asked.
"Yeah, I saw her and Handsome Papa helping each other up the steps," Yana replied.
"Master wanted to go ahead and find a mystic realm for us, but we all basically made it up the steps fairly quickly. Should we wait here for them?" Ako knew her master was trying to add to the mystic realm she had acquired and did not know if they should be waiting or not.
"Mama always gets to have all the fun…." Bi Ling complained. She also wanted to steal a mystic realm.
"Sister Bi, Mama only wants to make sure we have a place to live when we need it. She is not taking them for fun." Mei Ling explained, but she was far from being correct. But it was enough to deter Bi Ling from trying to steal a bunch of mystic realms.
"Oh…." Bi Ling pursed her lips. "Is Big Sister Rain not coming?"
"She wanted to finish learning what she could from her master. Only when she has finished will she come with us." Angelica answered.
"We should just wait here. I am sure Mama will be back soon." Yana suggested as she turned around to see Bi Ling poking the two old men prostrating at the side.
"Mei, why are these old men bowing to us? Do they want to worship our beauty? Are they perverts?" Bi Ling asked.
"I am not sure. But they seem to be pretty desperate for attention." Mei replied. She also had no idea why they were bowing to her.
"What if we take one of those lizard thingies we found and stick them in their robes? You know, the one that spits fire."
At this moment, the two old men who were pushing the dirt with their foreheads were sweating buckets. They had no idea what lizard they were talking about, but any lizard that spits fire was not a normal lizard! They felt very depressed.
