Death… And Me

Chapter 1617 Travel Alone

Chapter 1617 Travel Alone

To understand that, we need to go back to the Soul Binding Contract itself. The contract stated that the cultivators couldn't talk about the sect and its secrets 'unless they were given permission to do so.' One of the permissions that the sect members had was to recruit more people! That's how this many extra cultivators suddenly appeared when the time came to leave Glinyer.

As for the reason why, it was basically the average strength of the System Sect's members. Quite a few of the cultivators of the sect could now fight one stage or maybe even two stages higher than average cultivators at their level.

That made sense since all the cultivation techniques in the sect were at the level of a continent's ruling power. Well, at least a continent similar to Huring and the others, not the powerful ones in the center of the Realm of Gods. In any case, combined with Roan's training and the great cultivation environment, everyone grew much stronger.

It just so happened that although they couldn't talk about the System Sect's secrets, they could at least tell that they were part of a sect and that it was the reason they became stronger. There was nothing wrong with that since everyone would join a sect, hoping to get stronger. After all, that was the norm.

Seeing how much stronger than normal cultivators the sect members were, some other people decided to ask if they could join those disciples' sect. Rean and Roan had allowed the sect members to recruit more people and even got a few of them to help recruit before. They just didn't expect that so many more would appear now.

Well, that wasn't a bad thing since the Soul Binding Contract would prevent any betrayals in the short term.

With that, Rean then took flight and stopped above the people that gathered there. "Ahem... first, everyone who's already a member of the System Sect can return. As for the rest, just wait for a moment."

The new candidates were puzzled by Rean's words. After all, they didn't know where the sect was located. Saying that the sect was inside a mobile Dimensional Realm was definitely part of the sect's secret, so the disciples couldn't tell the newcomers.

*Vup, vup, vup...*

In just a few seconds, all the sect members disappeared into thin air, much to the shock of the cultivators who intended to join. "This..."

Rean didn't give them time to think much, though. "Now then, I believe that all of you wanted to enter the sect. However, have all of you been told that once you join it, you'll be leaving Glinyer behind? The chances are that you will never see Glinyer again in your lives. Are you sure you want to join my sect?"

Sure enough, not everyone was told about this, mostly because the sect members who brought them were afraid that they might be telling some secret of the sect. It was better to let Rean do the explanation.

"Never come back?"

"Why?"

"Is it far away?"

All kinds of questions appeared, but Rean just raised his hand. "Enough. I can't tell you much more than that. Also, anyone who wishes to join will have to sign a Soul Binding Contract. I can promise you that you will have access to much better cultivation techniques, cultivation environment, and equipment. Last but not least, you can leave the sect any time you want. The Soul Binding Contract won't stop you from doing it. I'll give all of you thirty minutes to think about it. If you believe that getting stronger than average cultivators is enough of a reason, then stay here. If not, just go back to Glinyer."

With that said, Rean came back from the skies and landed close to the beacon. There was still around an hour before the time Roan set was over. More members of the sect might arrive until then. Only after that would he remove it from that place.

Sure enough, as good as it seemed, the words 'Soul Binding Contract' and 'never return' scared a lot of the applicants. Of the 4598 cultivators that had gone to the city, 4345 returned. The rest of the 5200 were all newcomers wishing to join the sect. However, after Rean's thirty minutes were gone, only 73 of them remained. In the end, the majority that came weren't people in desperate situations. They had their lives, friends, families, and so on. That's why the twins always aimed for people like beggars and the like.

"Very well. Come forward and read the contract." Rean already had many of the contracts read, so everyone just needed to sign. "After that, I'll let all of you see how correct the decision you made today was." And just like that, the sect got another 73 members.

After these new people were sent into the Dimensional Realm, Rean looked at Roan by his side. "So, it seems like we lost over two hundred people."

Roan nodded in response. "You know very well why. Anyways, now that this is over, I don't intend to stop anymore before reaching Lebgram. If you or the people inside still have anything to do in Glinyer City, you better go do that."

"Let me ask Eliana's group. Perhaps they need some materials for the sect," Rean answered. A few moments later, he shook his head. "Eliana said that she already got everything she needed during this week. The rest of the things are related to formations, which is something for the Formation Hall to take care of."

Roan was satisfied to hear that. "That's good."

Rean was just about to return to the Dimensional Realm when he noticed something. "By the way, where's Luan?"

Roan shook his head, telling him, "If he's following the tasks I gave him correctly, he shouldn't be in Glinyer anymore."

"What?!" Rean was taken aback. "Where did you send him?"

Roan then opened and threw Rean the map of the Hiwer Continent. "His mission is to travel alone until he reaches Danglan City, the closest city to the continental barrier between Hiwer and Lebgram."
