Death… And Me

Chapter 963 - Well, Thats True

Chapter 963 - Well, That's True

Kentucky and Celis were very excited when they noticed the transformation in Rean and Roan's souls. At the same time that their souls changed, the demon beast and tree also felt the barrier that stopped them from reaching Stage Six gradually waning in strength. Well, in fact, Kentucky and Celis barely had any time to feel the barrier as the twins broke through almost immediately.

Thanks to Celis, all the Divine Energy necessary for everyone's breakthrough came through his roots. Other than the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, which was simply storing the energy, no one could hope to be absorbing more Divine Energy than their group.

[Life and death. Why am I not surprised? Hahaha!] Sister Orb even joked as she was well aware of the twins' feelings at that moment. [I wonder what changes these two paths will bring to your cultivation in the future.]

The Divine Stream Lake's water was almost gone when four bursts of Divine Energy suddenly came out of the bodies of Rean's group. Obviously, Rean and Roan entered the Soul Transformation Realm while Kentucky and Celis achieved Stage Six. This time, their breakthroughs attracted quite the attention as most of the breakthroughs so far were from one stage to another. To see those four reaching the next realm together was very unexpected..

However, their breakthroughs were not the only ones to be noticed. Cynthia, who was in the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, finally entered the Peak Stage of the same realm. Naturally, she had a delightful expression on her face as she looked at the lake gradually drying up.

It only took a few more minutes for the lake to completely disappear. As always, no one knew when another one would appear, much less the location. But that didn't matter at all. All the cultivators of the Yukirrom Region knew that they couldn't possibly rely on the lake for their cultivation. First of all, it wasn't as if it was hard to cultivate without it to start with. That just showed how good Divine Energy was.

Once the lake disappeared, all the demon beasts began to scatter everywhere. No one knew why, but the demon beasts never attacked anyone during these times, including each other. They would only go back to their savage natures after returning to their territories.

Cynthia observed as the demon beasts left, being careful to not startle them. The same thing was done by the guards, merchants, and their workers or subordinates. Although there were no risks, there were no guarantees that the demon beasts wouldn't change exactly on this day either.

"Phew...they're finally gone," Cynthia said as she got up from her position. Soon after, she began to check the cultivations of everyone around. "Very good, everyone. Most of those below the Core and Soul Fusion Realm broke through at least two stages. As for those above, you got at least one stage. This Divine Stream Lake was quite a big one, so we were lucky."

Everyone cheered with glee as well. "That's because Lady Cynthia chose the right path for our travel."

"Indeed! If we had followed another path, we wouldn't bump across this Divine Stream Lake."

"Could it be that you knew this lake would be here?"

Cynthia laughed at that question. "Hahaha! As if! If I knew it was here, do you think we would be the only ones? First of all, I would have invited a few friends to come and enjoy it as well."

Cynthia continued to walk by everyone when suddenly, her expression changed. It was then that she finally noticed the cultivations of the twins' group. "This..."

Rean smiled at her, saying, "Lady Cynthia wasn't lying. These Divine Stream Lakes are really good. We were able to break through two stages and enter the next realm. We are in your debt for telling us of this opportunity and especially for letting us stay here."

Cynthia felt like crying after hearing that. "But, but...you and your brother went straight into the Soul Transformation Realm! Shouldn't you know figure out your own path before that?" Sure enough, she wasn't as surprised with Kentucky and Celis as they weren't cultivators but a demon beast and a demon tree, respectively. They didn't need to care about such things. However, Rean and Roan definitely should have... "Could it be that the place you came from...doesn't have the requirement of having to find a path to enter the Soul Transformation Realm?"

Roan shook his head as he explained, "Of course not. It's just that Rean and I had always known what our paths would be from the very start. All we lacked was the necessary cultivation to make this breakthrough."

"You already knew?" Cynthia was even more surprised. "How?! Let alone me, everyone I know in the Soul Transformation Realm took years, decades, and some even centuries to understand their own path!"

Rean shook his head in response, telling her, "That has nothing to with our breakthrough, Lady Cynthia. In fact, anyone can break through into the Soul Transformation Realm straight away as well. In fact, I believe there should be many examples out there about it. It's just that you never met them. In the end, as long as you know what you really want in your cultivation path, the Soul Transformation Realm is probably the easiest breakthrough that exists."

"That..." Cynthia knew that they were telling the truth. After all, it shouldn't be possible to enter the Soul Transformation Realm if they weren't. "Even so, how did you find your path so soon?"

Rean pondered over it for a bit before saying, "You could say that ever since we started to cultivate, we had been thinking about what our path would be. To be honest, we didn't know if we would be able to break through until we did. After all, our choices might have been wrong. In that case, we would need to start from scratch once again. Fortunately, many years of careful consideration bore their fruits."

In the end, Cynthia could only let out a long and loud sigh. "Whatever...at least your explanation makes some sense. However, how did all four of you break through at the same time? Was it also a coincidence?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he asked in response, "Would you believe us if we said it was?"

Cynthia understood the meaning behind Rean's words, eventually saying in response, "Well, that's true."
