Death… And Me

Chapter 1216: Absolute

Even Roan had to admit it interested him. He saw just how good Rank Three Divine Stones were back when he helped Kihin. Naturally, he wanted to have more of it. It didn’t matter how many Rank Two Divine Stones one had. It couldn’t compare to the cultivation speed one would get with a Rank Three alone.

Rean tried to sell his weapons for Rank Three Divine Stones. Unfortunately, not a single person wanted to pay using those stones. That’s how important the Core Sector disciples and elders thought those stones to be.

Then again, it was quite unfortunate that Roan lost his interest as fast as he got it. The reason was simple, he wasn’t a Core Sector disciple. Only Core Sector disciples could exchange their Merit Points for Rank Three Divine Stones. Inner and Outer Sectors could only get Rank Two. ‘Joining the Core Sector would also be complicated as everyone there is at least in the Elemental Transformation Realm.’ That was obviously still out of Rean and Roan’s league. Perhaps, after they started cultivating the Starlight Technique, they would be able to jump another stage or two in combat power.

But at the moment, even Middle Stage Saints and perhaps even Initial Stage Saints would give the twins a run for their money, depending on their power. That’s the Sacred Land for you. Also, let’s not forget that the Huring Sacred Land was still just considered an insignificant continent’s power hidden in some corner of the Realm of Gods.

Eventually, the Sacred Land’s group arrived at the formation’s entrance. All the other countries’ participants and their demon beasts were waiting for it. Roan having Kentucky on his side didn’t catch much attention… if one didn’t consider the females from all sides wishing to hug the idiot bird.

Roan decided to ignore that for the moment and focused on the disciples from other countries. Roan had heard it from Gille before. Except for Huring Country, which was led by the Sacred Land, the other top countries wouldn’t really send their strongest disciples to join it. Roan didn’t take long to find Gille and the Klacks Country’s entourage. Or, to be more specific, the Blood Path Sect that came from there. ‘Sure enough, he also appeared this time around. Anyone would think that I would wait until I reached the Elemental Transformation Realm before coming to this place. However, he couldn’t risk it and came together, even though he’s the Blood Path Sect’s leader. he wanted to see if I really wasn’t in the Sacred Land’s group.’

Roan was right. Gille wanted Roan’s body way too much, and the Demising Catacombs was just the perfect place to get it. Whatever happened there, even Etherian couldn’t complain. Of course, Roan’s appearance was completely different from his normal self. Also, because there was no need to identify oneself, no one other than Etherian and his subordinates knew that Roan had really come this time around.

Gille narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Sacred Land’s disciples. He then took his chance to send Hedoi and his group a Divine Sense Message. ‘Have you found any information on the Dark Element boy?’

Hedoi immediately nodded, responding, ‘Yes, I had the Core Sector’s workers keep an eye on him. He’s working as a helper for Kihin, a descendant of the Sacred Land’s big elders back in the Sacred Land.’

‘A helper?!’ Gille obviously knew what the job of a helper meant in the Sacred Land. They were nothing more than testing subjects. ‘Why would he do such a thing? Fuck! What if his body and Dark Element Affinity get crippled? His body would be of no use anymore after that.’

Hedoi shook his head, telling him, ‘That’s something we could not intervene with, Sect Master. We can’t make any moves while we’re in the Sacred Land. Especially in the Core Sector.’

Gille obviously knew that. ‘Are you sure he stayed back in the Sacred Land?’

Hedoi pondered a bit before saying. ‘At the very least, the eyes I put on him said that he had never left Kihin’s house during the last two months. I also had my subordinates keep an eye on his house in the Inner Sector, but there wasn’t a single shadow getting close to the place either.’

Gille then looked at the other Sacred Land disciples. There were indeed a lot of known faces, but there were some he didn’t know anything about either. Let alone the Sacred Land, even the other countries had many participants who hid their real appearances. This was a very good danger zone for Evil Path cultivators to train, after all. Many of them had some grudges with people they shouldn’t have and didn’t want to be identified.

However, Gille remembered one thing. ‘He was in the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. As far as I can see, there are only 36 people within the Sacred Land’s entourage that have such cultivation. If he’s between those 36, then this might be a good chance. But then again, I would have to use my best disciples here to go after every single one of them, and none of them might be that Dark Element brat. If I did that, it would jeopardize their training.’

Thanks to Etherian, all people knew was that Roan came from Lukimira Sect. The existence of Kentucky, the talking bird, was kept under wraps. After all, it was directly related to the fact that the twins came from the Mortal Realm, so he had to be careful. Gille couldn’t relate Roan to the Demon Bird exactly because of that. He didn’t know the twins had a Demon Bird back then.

Nevertheless, Gille felt like he might be onto something here. In the end, he looked by his side, where the top disciples from his country were gathered. ‘Granto, Clincks, Erbasxe, Kluo, Rimari, I want the five of you to join your forces with our Blood Path Sect members in the Sacred Land. Pay attention to those 36 Peak Soul Transformation Realm cultivators of the Sacred Land. I want you to check on them. If it turns out that any of them has a Dark Element Affinity, you must capture him and bring him back to me. Understood?’

They were taken aback by that order, and none of them were happy with it either. After all, they didn’t want to waste their time with some weaklings. Unfortunately for them, the Sect Master’s orders were absolute.

‘Yes, Sect Master.’
