Death… And Me

Chapter 480 - Who Wants To Go First?

Everyone was taken aback by that order. Nevertheless, they quickly nodded as they could tell that something huge happened.

Mia then looked at Zuan before asking.

”What will you do, Master?”

”Iʼm going with you guys. Iʼm pretty sure that all the ancestors of the five sects are already making their way over. Jialin Royal Familyʼs ancestors should be no different either.”

Old Worm shook his head as he interrupted.

”Not only them. This thing seems to be ridiculously enormous. Other countries are definitely moving out as well.”

Old Worm was right. At this moment, all the sects, clans, and various organizations were making their way over to Qerlen or to the countries where the red light continued to expand.

Also, the representatives of the Imperial Family took their Thoughts Transmission Talismans and used it straight away. Whatever was happening there definitely required their intervention as well.

Back in the Dalamu Sect, Qia suddenly barged into the meeting hall. Everyone then looked at her as they narrowed their eyes. However, everyone knew that Qia was a princess of the Imperial Family, so they didnʼt say anything.

”Princess, we canʼt talk right now.”

Qia shook her head.

”Iʼm not an idiot. I can tell that something big is happening. As a princess of the Empire, I must have a complete grasp of the situation. I also have a Thoughts Transmission Talisman in case you need to contact the Imperial Family directly. Besides...”

Qia pointed at Rean and Roan and continued.

”Since theyʼre here, why canʼt I?”

Mia didnʼt have the patience to deal with Qia at the moment. Well, she wouldnʼt anyway since their statuses were completely different from each other. In the end, she simply ordered.

”Someone bring her with us. Letʼs go.”

Old Worm and Droman brought Rean and Roan with them, while Tiria did the same with Qia. Soon, the disciples of the sect saw the elders flying out of the mountain at high speeds.

At some point, the Dalamu Sect Elders encountered the Jialin Royal Familyʼs elders. Once again, the one leading them was Kocei. The two groups quickly joined together as they continued on their way.

”Kocei, do you know whatʼs happening here?”

Kocei shook his head as he replied.

”This time, we really have no idea. If Iʼm not wrong, it didnʼt start in our Jialin Country, to begin with.”

Mia also approached the two.

”All we can say is the origin of the phenomenon once you consider from which direction the Spiritual Energy Flow was coming.”

”Just what might have started it?”

It was then that Old Worm and Droman approached them.

”I have an idea.”

Everyoneʼs attention was immediately piqued. In the end, it was Roan who talked.

”Boy, what are you talking about?”

Droman then quickly explained to Kocei and his subordinates how Rean and Roan could feel the change in the Spiritual Energy Flow.

”What?! Are you sure?”

Rean nodded as he responded.

”Itʼs probably due to the nature of our elemental affinity. Otherwise, we canʼt say why we can feel it.”

Roan shook his head.

Zuan quickly changed the topic.

”It doesnʼt matter right now. Roan, you said you think you know something. What are you talking about?”

Roan then began to explain.

”All we can tell is the origin of where the Spiritual Energy is flowing. That gave us a general direction of where we need to go. I might be wrong, but I think itʼs coming from the valley where the Masput Vein was found.”

”Masput Vein?”

The top experts narrowed their eyes. They didnʼt know what he was talking about. That was to be expected since those rocks were only useful for those trying to enter the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. At their Soul Transformation and Saint Realm cultivations, such a thing was useless. The only one that comprehended the news was Mia. After all, the Masput Vein could help the sectʼs low-level cultivators who wanted to enter the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. It was her job to be aware of such things as the Sect Leader.

”The Masput Vein appeared in a valley inside the Qerlen Country recently. Now that Roan said that, we are indeed flying in its direction right now.”

Roan nodded.

”The thing I find weird is how no one noticed that Masput Vein until now. Sure, the Masput Rocks are mostly found underground. Still, a vein of that size being reported shouldnʼt have been hidden for such a long time. At first, I didnʼt care too much about it, but it might be related to the situation right now.”

Of course, many others also thought the same thing as Roan. That being said, the Qerlen Country experts went to verify the valley. However, all they found was the Masput Vein and nothing else. In the end, they could only open the valley to other countries since the news had already spread.

Kocei pondered for a bit about that.

”Well, we still donʼt know if it is really connected to that valley you talked about.”

Zuan nodded.

”Letʼs increase our speeds.”

As everyone flew forward, Mia approached Rean and Roan.

”Where did you send Malaka this time?”

Rean sighed as he pointed in the direction of the red sky.

”We told her to go to Qerlen to fetch some of the Masput Medicinal Liquid for Cross-Realm Pills. From what I know, she brought Kentucky together with that friend of hers.”

That was one more reason why the twins could tell that the Valley was the crux of the issue. One should remember that they also had a small connection with Kentucky. They could tell which direction Kentucky was as long as he wasnʼt too far away. They couldnʼt feel Kentuckyʼs presence when they were in the Empireʼs capital. However, he was much closer now.

”Friend of hers? Are you talking about Illia? Well, those two had been close to each other for quite some time.”

Time continued to pass when suddenly, the group was able to see some kind of red barrier in the distance. It was so big that it was possible to see it from incredibly far away. Even at their cultivation level, it still took them several minutes to fly to the frontlines.

Mia and the others then looked at the sky as the barrier stretched into the clouds. But that wasnʼt all. Their Spiritual Senses entered the earth and could tell that it also extended underground, or at least as far as their Spiritual Senses could reach, that was.

Kocei then looked at one of his subordinates.

”Lukio, check it.”

Lukio quickly nodded as he approached the red barrier. However, as soon as he touched it, he was repelled back by the barrierʼs energy.

”Are you alright?”

Lukio nodded as he looked at his hand. He only touched the barrier for a fraction of a second, but he almost lost his hand. It was dripping with blood. It was even possible to see the bones inside, which were all broken.

Rean noticed that and quickly offered his help.

By this point, everyone in Jialin Country knew about Reanʼs ridiculous healing powers, so Lukio accepted his help. It would also save him a few healing pills.

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.ʼ

Lukioʼs bones began to mend back together as the injuries healed at a speed possible to see with the naked eye. Those who saw it happen for the first time were finally able to understand why the other sects put so much attention on the twins.

However, their attention didnʼt linger there for long because they noticed another group approaching from a distance.

”Itʼs the Rohe Sect.”

Rago, the Rohe Sectʼs Saint Realm expert, was leading the group in their direction.

”It seems I got here too late.”

Zuan and Kocei shook their heads as they replied.

”We just arrived as well.”

Zuan and Kocei then told him what they understood about this thing so far.

”You two, letʼs go up.”

Zuan and Rago nodded as they followed Kocei. Soon, they disappeared into the skies. At their cultivation realm, leaving the atmosphere wasnʼt anything difficult.

Sometime later, they came down again.

”We took a look at it from above. It looks like a giant dome.”

Mia couldnʼt help but ask.

”So we canʼt enter?”

Suddenly, Droman called their attention.

”Well, let me tell you something before someone makes a mistake. This is definitely not a formation. No, let me rephrase that. This is a formation, but not a manmade one.”

Everyone was taken aback by Dromanʼs words.

”Are you saying that this is a natural formation? Arenʼt those things supposed to be extremely rare?”

Droman nodded.

”They are. Natural Formations only appear once many coincidences happen at once in the same place. However, it is all thanks to Natural Formations that the Formation Master side occupation was born. We basically copied naturesʼ runes to use in our own works.”

”Anyway, although theyʼre rare, itʼs not like itʼs impossible to see them. Even I had the opportunity to see a few of them in my life. However, Iʼve never seen something this big before. But at the same time, I can understand why itʼs so big. Even the Empire Capitalʼs Protection Formation looks just like an ant in front of this thing. However, this also makes things easier to deal with.”

Droman then approached the red barrier and began to draw runes midair with his Spiritual Energy. In just a few minutes, hundreds of runes appeared in front of him. Soon after, Droman drove them against the Natural Formation.

*Bzzzzz!*

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the barrier. It was large enough for quite a few people to enter.

”Natural Formations arenʼt doing things on purpose, so they wonʼt really try to block us out of their own will. Naturally, itʼs not too hard to work around it.”

Droman looked at everyone before asking.

”So, who wants to go first?”
