Chapter 1092 - Knowing More

Rean and Roan then spent the next five days without leaving their room. Or, to be more specific, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They left Sister Orb in charge of checking the outside world in case someone came to look for them. Gulia, for example, wanted to fight Roan, so he had to come out to tell that he was busy stabilizing his cultivation.

Eventually, the two of them came out of their rooms. Without wasting time, Roan went straight to see Gulia, wanting to test his new weapon. As for Rean, he was simply happy that he succeeded in forging two weapons at the Golden Initial-level. He knew that because of his cultivation, that would be his limit for the time being. In any case, that was a huge advancement from his previous limit, the Silver High-level.

On the battleground, Gulia was surprised to see Roan's scythe. "That's quite a funny weapon." Roan's scythe was pure white in color, almost crystalline. Even the wooden holder had a white hue in color, obviously crafted using Rean's Element Gathering ability. As always, his weapon had the opposite element of his affinity so that he could balance the powers of Yin and Yang.

Roan then pointed his scythe at Gulia after that, telling her, "Don't look down on this scythe. It's not because you only see it being used by farmers that this isn't a lethal weapon. If you aren't careful, I'll be the one winning this time."

Gulia took out her greatsword in response and snorted. "Hmph! I could underestimate someone else, but definitely not you. I'm not an idiot, as I can see the difference in raw talent between you and me. Don't worry, I'm going all out from the very start."

"Good!" Roan nodded, satisfied. "Let's go!"

The gathering didn't take long to arrive as Rean, Roan, Gulia, and Roan spent their time training, cultivating, or working on their own side occupations. This one would be the last time the twins would come out before they secluded themselves in Fabio's residence to cultivate until the Sacred Land Recruitment started.

On the day of the gathering, the Royal Palace was fully lit up as it was a night event. Even though Fabio was expecting some challenges during this gathering, ultimately, this was not an event for it. Instead, this was more like a party between the Royal Family members and their supporters. Of course, everyone knew what would happen anyway.

Fabio and his proteges then gathered in front of his residence. Together with him were his wife and his two sons, as well as his daughter. Don't forget this was a party event, so bringing his whole family was what was expected from him and the other descendants of the Royal Family. Of course, none of them were part of the people heading to the Sacred Land. After all, his children were already well over a hundred years old at the very least. They even had children of their own.

Fabio looked at Rean and the others, telling them, "Alright, let's go ahead."

They joined the main path to the event where the king would take part. On the way, Fabio and a few of the other descendants of the Royal Family met each other. Each one of them had their own proteges or their own children that happened to be at the right age.

"Hey, Fabio. I heard that you got some country bumpkins to live with you, is that true?" A man who had some similarities to Fabio asked. There was no doubt they were blood-related. "Aren't you ashamed? You could at least have found a few worthy kids in the clan of the Royal Capital, you know?"

Fabio snorted in response, responding, "Oh, is that so, Julio? Do you mean those clans that are in our father's hands? I wonder if you can call these kids part of your own forces or not. I hope your son over there is good enough to make up for them when they leave you. Hahaha!"

Fabio and Julio weren't the only ones throwing stones at each other, obviously. Other descendants had their own issues against each other. For the king, that was the normal thing to happen. It was through competition that the real ruler of the future would come out. He was more than happy to let it happen as long as it didn't affect the country. That was his only rule for the fights. And just like that, Rean and Roan arrived at the gathering hall.

Rean and Roan used their Divine Sense to check the other participants of the gathering. Unsurprisingly, most of the young generation coming to this gathering were around 40 to 49 years old. Each one of them with their own slots for the Sacred Land Recruitment.

Colen, who was following Fabio from behind, used that chance to talk with Gulia, Regio, and the twins. 'Most of them are just like Julio's participants. They are all born and raised by the Royal Family or the other powers of the Royal Capital. With that said, you can probably see that all of them are at least in the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Those already close to their fifties are all in the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm, at the very least. It's obvious that they have the same plan as Master Fabio. They want to show that their own choices are the right ones for the Sacred Land Excursion.'

Roan asked back, 'Who are the ones we should be careful about?'

Colen then used his eyes to point out the individuals, soon telling them, 'On Julio's side, you have Plinio Kamos. He's Julio's son and a Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivator.' Colen then looked in another direction and used his Divine Sense to show two more cultivators. 'Those ones are Lahabrea and Garfil. Lahabrea is part of the Kamos Royal Family. As for Garfil, he's part of the Blacious Clan, one of the main clans of our Royal Capital.'

Colen continued, 'That girl over there is Xaxa Hoblis, a member of the Hoblis Mercenary Group. She's representing Jamiu Kamos.'

Colen then asked Regio, Roan, and Rean to pay attention. 'However, because of their cultivations, they probably won't try to find trouble with you three, only Gulia. After all, it would be considered shameful to challenge someone who's below your own realm level.'

Colen then pointed at a few different cultivators as he continued, 'Rean, Roan, and Regio should pay attention to Finral, Zartin, Welliton, Covarg, and Suelen. Those five are all part of the Royal Family and are below the age of 50, just like you. Above all, they're all in the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Those five will probably come after you and the others as well as themselves. Each of them represents a different Royal Family member in the end. They aren't allies.'

After that, Roan couldn't help but mention, 'It doesn't seem like we have 50 people below the age of fifty here. There are a few kids, but they're way below fifty, so I don't think they count.'

Colen nodded. 'That's because not everyone who has a slot of the Royal Family came. Samanta is also part of your group, remember? But she isn't here either.'

Suddenly, everyone looked at the back of the hall, from where an old man and woman came out.

"The king has arrived!"
