Death… And Me

Chapter 1097 - The Day Arrived

Celis was very satisfied during the last few months. Several times during the day, he would receive a lot of Divine Energy coming from the twins, which proved that they were in a very high concentration area. Naturally, it made his and Kentucky's cultivation speed increase a lot. For him, who had been in the Transition Realm before, that was great news.

"Hey, Celis. Should we really just wait here while Rean and Roan are going to that Sacred Land thing?" Kentucky could not help but ask. Before the twins left, he wanted to stay so that he could relax and simply cultivate. Besides, he did conquer many of the females' hearts, which he loved. However, this could be said to be one of the first times he stayed far away from the twins for so long. Simply put...Kentucky was starting to get bored.

Celis, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving. "The twins said they would come back once they finish getting the information needed, didn't they? Just sit down and cultivate. From the information we obtained, they want to reach the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm before departing to the Sacred Land."

"But...how long will they stay there? We might not see them for years, maybe. I'm getting bored," Kentucky confessed.

Celis couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you the one who said that you would prefer to stay with the girls all the time? If you go with them, you will experience a lot of dangerous situations as those twins are basically a magnet for it. Are you missing the adrenaline?"

Kentucky wanted to say that he didn't, but even he wasn't sure. "Perhaps...you're right."

Celis nodded as if he was certain of his words. "Of course, I am! Don't worry, once the time for us to go out arrives, you can be sure that you will have your share of excitement. Something tells me that traversing that continental barrier is anything but easy. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been something that no one here knows about."

"Sigh... alright." Kentucky could only agree with Celis after that and head back to cultivating.

Time passed quite quickly as no one bothered Gulia, Regio, and the twins. They would frequently spar between themselves, which helped all sides. The main beneficiary of this was obviously Rean and Roan, though. By fighting such high talent opponents, they got used to the difference between the ordinary cultivators and good ones.

Of course, the other two also got a lot from it. Gulia, for example, wasn't losing to Roan anymore. Her main issue was that she didn't know how to fight against a scythe. As she learned more, she eventually understood how to defend and attack against it.

Roan was happy with that. That showed that her talents were really far above average. It wasn't just her cultivation aptitude color. No, the girl truly had a sense for battle. Because of that, Roan and Gulia were more or less evenly matched. Roan would win some, and Gulia would win others.

Gulia wasn't satisfied, though. An even match against someone two stages below herself was definitely what she didn't want. In the end, she swallowed her pride and asked if Roan could help her improve, which Roan did. It could also be said to be a way to thank Gulia for helping him until now.

Regio and Rean had their own work cut out for them too. Rean always had the advantage when they fought, but Regio wasn't losing so quickly anymore. If Rean was still in the Middle Stage, he would probably lose several times.

Two months before the travel to the Sacred Land, Regio finally achieved his breakthrough, entering the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm. With that, he and Rean again got to fight for longer, with Regio holding a small advantage. In the end, the boost in strength that came from entering another realm was much bigger than just going from one stage to another.

Unfortunately for him, it didn't continue like that for long. Celis, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan were cultivating hard. Well, Celis had to make sure that Kentucky wouldn't slack off, which he did. Thanks to that, half a month before the departure to the Sacred Land, Rean and Roan finally had their breakthrough. They were now in the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, much to everyone's surprise.

"What?! They broke through again?!" Fabio was the first one to hear about it from Colen and immediately stopped what he was doing to see the twins. Sure enough, Rean and Roan were now in the Peak Stage. "This...you just broke through six months ago. I was expecting you two to take a year and a half to two years to do that. How can you be that fast?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "We're simply cultivating just like everyone else. However, I have to admit that our Divine Energy absorption rate is definitely higher than others." Of course, Rean wouldn't tell that they had a connection with a World Swallowing Cedar. Without a doubt, Celis was the main reason for that, although Rean, Roan, and Kentucky still made up for 50-60% of the total speed. It's just that Celis never ever stopped cultivating. That old Demon Tree wanted to return to his Transition Realm cultivation as fast as possible.

"Higher than others? But Regio and Gulia already have Purple Color Aptitudes. How can you be higher than that?" In the Divine Realm, due to Divine Energy, it wasn't that hard to find Purple Color talents. Of course, that didn't mean they popped everywhere either. "What's your aptitude color?"

Rean scratched his head as he replied, "White and black."

"White and black?" Only then did Fabio remember. "Oh, right! Those with odd Elemental Affinities don't show a proper Aptitude Color. I forgot about that for a moment. Does that mean White and Black Aptitudes are better than purple?"

Rean nodded in response. "That's the only explanation I have. In any case, this is a good thing for us, so why bother?"

"That's true," Fabio agreed with Rean. "You won't have time to break through again as we're leaving in half a month. In any case, good job with your cultivation. I didn't have much hope before, but now I truly think you might have a very small chance at the recruitment."

The twins nodded after hearing that. Fabio then talked with the two for a while longer before leaving once again.

Eventually, the final days went by, and the day where everyone would head to the Huring Sacred Land had finally arrived.
