Chapter 102 The Eastern Continent(Chapter Preview)
'Something is wrong.' Kai thought as all four of them appeared on the eastern continent.
Dark clouds covered the sky and the sun was blocked by them. It was as though a storm was about to come as strong winds ruffled their hair.
"The Azure dragon symbolizes wind, right?" Risea asked as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Yes, you are right. I should call Gale before exploring this continent." Kai half murmured to himself as he tried to summon Gale.
But his eyes widened as his connection with the five spirits was suddenly shattered. He suddenly pulled all three girls close to him and glanced around them with alert eyes.
"My connection with the spirits is broken. There is some kind of barrier on this continent and there aren't that many people in the universe who can do that and somehow, someone on this realm has created such a barrier." Kai explained to the trio as their expressions hardened.
Risea didn't understand what Kai was talking about but she somehow felt that someone was watching her and that was enough to creep her out.
Out of the four, she was the weakest person so she could only really on the other three but she didn't mind that. Instead, she took out four pills from her cloth and offered them to Kai.
Looking at the pills in her hands, Kai could only smile as a formation took place around them. Symbols surrounded the four of them as Risea suddenly felt the gaze go away.
"He created a cloaking formation around us. No one can see or hear us unless they have cultivation higher than Kai which is kind of impossible or they have a certain pill." Mia explained to Risea as she put the pills back inside her clothes.
"Hmm, I have thought about a pill like that but there weren't any ingredients to make such a pill." Risea replied as Kai sat down in a lotus pose.
Kai rose in the air as he extended his hand towards thin air. However, a dome-shaped black barrier slowly started to appear under his touch.
The barrier seemed to stretch on forever as Kai couldn't see its end. He could feel the barrier obstructing his senses but he could still tell that the entire continent was covered by it.
He landed on the ground and sat down in a lotus pose. He closed his eyes and he slowly spread his spiritual sense with caution while making sure that it didn't touch the barrier surrounding the continent.
This particular barrier was something that was very famous in the upper realms. It could block anyone on the inside from contacting people outside the barrier.
Other than that, if the person tried to use his or her spiritual sense inside the barrier, the creator of the barrier could pinpoint their location and easily kill or capture them.
But since Kai had faced this barrier many times, he could easily use his spiritual sense inside it. Unfortunately, he couldn't destroy it.
His spiritual went on for kilometers before his eyes suddenly flew open and his spiritual sense retracted.
"Nothing. I wasn't able to find any living form for hundreds of kilometers. And before I could reach the Central region of the continent, another barrier appeared and obstructed my approach. I barely stopped my spiritual sense from touching the barrier but still, who knows what is happening on this continent?" Kai told them as he teleported them to the second barrier.
It was similar to the first barrier except it was darker in color and blocked anyone from seeing inside it.
"Can you break it?" Mia asked as Kai shook his head.
"Not without warning the creator of the barrier." Kai said as Mia bit her nails.
"However, there is something I can do even though it's more of a gamble. Hold on to me and no matter what happens, do not let go." Kai said as the three of them nodded.
Risea and Mariel held his arms while Mia his waist. He then raised his eyes and his black sparks of flame appeared on his fingertips.
He drew a circle an inch away from the barrier and a small hole appeared in it. And with that, Kai teleported the four of them inside.
They appeared inside what looked like a house with broken furniture. The walls were bare of any possessions and were painted in a sickly puke green color.
The furniture was broken as though a storm had swept up the entire place. It looked as though the house has been deserted for some while.
Many insects were crawling in the corners and cobwebs hung on the ceiling. Kai snapped his fingers and the entire place was cleaned.
"Can you go outside and see if the other houses are in a similar condition or not?" Kai asked as the trio nodded.
They left as Kai sat in a lotus pose. He closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual sense. Within a few kilometers, he could sense a palace but he didn't extend his spiritual sense as a dark aura was surrounding it and protecting it.
The aura definitely belonged to a living being but Kai couldn't determine whether the living thing was a human or not.
After retracting his spiritual sense, he stood up and went outside to check his surroundings. The place he was in resembled a village as rows upon rows of houses stood together.
However, all of them were either withered or destroyed. It was clear that this was not a natural disaster and someone had intentionally destroyed it.
"What happened to this place?" Risea asked as she, Mia, and Mariel appeared from a house.
Kai was wondering the same thing but when he stared at Mia's lost expression, he instantly knew that she had found out something.
"Mia." He said as Mia suddenly shook her head to stop thinking.
"I found this inside one of the houses." She said as took out a piece of stone from her cloth.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary stone but on closer expression, Kai saw a small piece of dark marble the size of a baby ant engraved in the middle of it.
He took it from Mia's hands and slowly touched the marble. The stone shattered and the marble was now on Kai's palm.
"This is a compressed piece of dark energy." Kai declared after examining the marble.
"Can people on this realm create compressed pieces of dark energy?" Mariel asked as Kai thought about it for a moment.
"It's possible if they had extreme amounts of yin energy inside them." He replied as Risea suddenly crossed her hands in front of Kai's face.
"Can you please explain what you talking about? This realm, that realm, humans, and whatnot. I don't understand what you are talking about." Risea complained as Kai smiled.
"I will explain it later but for now, we will have to take care of certain things." He said as he stared towards the north.
"There's a palace in that direction and a dark aura is guarding this palace. Even I am not able to determine whether the aura belongs to a human or not. So this time, we are going to prepare before checking the palace." Kai said as the three of them nodded.
"I am sorry but I can't prepare you." He suddenly said as he pointed at Risea. Her cheeks inflated as she stared at him with malicious eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Here, you can use this to advance in your cultivation. I don't have any other treasure to help you so you have to make do with this." Kai said as he took out a vial from his pendant.
The vial contained his yang qi and he handed it to a wide eyes Risea. She took the vial with trembling arms and stared at it in wonder.
"Is this your yang qi that onee-san was talking about?" Risea asked as Kai nodded.
"I don't think she has given you any good techniques. Here, use this." Kai said as he tapped her forehead.
She suddenly received a dual cultivation technique and she could tell that it was a top-quality technique. But she still felt uneasy about using a man's semen to cultivate.
"That's not my semen." Kai said as though he had read her thoughts.
"That vial does not contain my semen or sperm. That is just my yang qi and nothing else." Kai explained as Risea nodded.
"But what about you two?" She asked Mia and Mariel as they smiled.
"We will extract it personally." Mariel replied with a playful smile as Risea's face reddened.
Even though she knew that the three people in front of her were dual cultivators, she was embarrassed by Mariel's sudden announcement.
"I will first cultivate with Mariel while Mia will keep you company. See you later." Kai said as he bid his farewell and entered a house with Mariel.
"You want to watch them, don't you?" Mia asked the second Kai and Mariel were gone.
Risea's face reddened even further but she didn't decline her. Even after a few years of abuse, Risea was fascinated by dual cultivation and even though she didn't want to admit it, she actually wanted to see it.
"Then nobody is stopping you are from watching." Mia replied with a smile as the two of them went near the window of the house.
