Death… And Me

Chapter 2972: The Gathering

Roan nodded with a satisfied expression. ʼI would consider you an idiot if you did. It is not like we trust you either. Nonetheless, you have your chances with a bunch of Transition Realm and below experts from Parton and your chances with Jerry and me, two Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts.ʼ

Rean also added something else. ʼBesides, Iʼm pretty confident we can stay away from the other experts from the other powers. I have my own ways of doing things. Once again, it is up to you whether you believe or not.ʼ

Klifon didnʼt need to think much about it. ʼI guess Iʼll take my chances with you then. Hell, I didnʼt even plan to enter the Sunlight Realm, but I guess I have no choice with the Parton Sect pushing me.ʼ

ʼLetʼs hope for a fruitful alliance,ʼ Rean smiled as he spoke.

After that, the twins and Klifon discussed a few more things while the airship made its way to the Sunlight Realm entrance. At some point, they came out in the deck, noticing things were growing interesting.

If you think there were a lot of airships during the Rusbav Capital Festival, then you need to think twice. The more the airship made its way to the Sunlight Realm, the more airships appeared. At some point, it even became difficult to travel without causing any accidents. Some airships ended up bumping or crashing into each other here and there; none wanted to give an inch.

”Now, thatʼs a very lively scene. Hahaha!” Rean laughed while looking at it all. Fortunately, the Parton Sect was one of the Fourteen powers, so none of the other airships around tried to cause trouble for them.

Roan looked at a few emblems on the other airships. Some of them were from Sects, Clan, or other organizations from outside the Rusbav Country. ”That Divine Werdlem Stone truly seems enticing...”

Indeed, the fourteen powers of the Rusbav Country werenʼt the only ones coming. Many powers from other countries also heard about the opening of the Sunlight Realm and especially about the Divine Werdlem Stone. Rean and Roan could feel, with their Divine Sense Bending Skill, over a hundred Spiritual Senses at the Transition Realm already. And yet, the number of airships continued to increase.

Finally, they noticed a majestic mountain in the distance. Even though nighttime was getting close, the light in the surroundings increased instead.

Falatis also came out of his room and looked at the mountain. ”We are still hundreds of kilometers away, and yet the Mount already looks this enormous. I always feel impressed every time I look at it. There arenʼt more than four mountains in our continent as big as that one.”

”Is that the entrance to the Sunlight Realm, senior?” Rean asked, curious.

Falatis nodded, feeling in a good mood. ”That is indeed the place where the entrance can be found. We will soon stop at the borders of the mountain since the Sunlight Energy will get too intense to proceed any further. Be careful; the Sunlight Realm gives birth to many Sunlight Beasts, beings of pure Sunlight energy that attack anything by instinct. The ones that make their way to the border of the Sunlight Realm arenʼt that strong, but they can be problematic if many gather at once.”

”We understand, senior,” Rean quickly agreed.

Roan also took his chance to ask something else. ”Where is this entrance?”

”There,” Klifon suddenly interjected, pointing his ethereal wing to a specific point at the base of the mountain in the distance.

Roan used his Spiritual Energy in his eyes to see better. Everyone who looked at the mountain could see a bright yellow color surrounding it in all directions. No doubt that was the Sunlight Energy that kept the mountain in a daylight state nonstop. However, the concentration seemed slightly lower at the base of the mountain where Klifon pointed. It was almost imperceptible due to the sheer size of the mountain itself.

After a while, their airship joined several hundred more of the Parton Sect. It wasnʼt anything compared to the number of airships that went to the capital, which was understandable. The Parton Sect wouldnʼt bring all its disciples to enter such a dangerous realm. It was agreed beforehand that only those in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm or above could take part, and they had to be selected as well.

The same went for the other fourteen powers. And yet, because of the arrival of the many other powers from other countries, the total number of airships was still far higher than the concentration back during the festival.

Falatis then took flight and moved to another airship where he was called, leaving Klifon and the twins behind with a few other disciples. The twinsʼ Spiritual Sense covered the Parton Sect airships with ease, checking those present.

”Sure enough, there are other Sun Urpins in the other Airships,” Roan commented.

Rean patted Klifon. ”Just so that you know, Falatis is receiving a reward for finding another Sun Urpin to join the excursion. Did he comment anything?”

Klifon shook his head. ”As if he would have told me anything. Still, how can you see so far? Isnʼt your Spiritual Senses a little too out of the norm?”

”Does it bother you?” Rean asked back with a smile.

That wasnʼt the answer Klifon was looking for, but he didnʼt insist. ”Forget it. Perhaps this is a blessing instead. At least we can avoid more dangers with the strength of your Spiritual

Senses.”

He quickly changed the subject after that. ”What about the other Sun Urpins?”

Roan checked. ”There are seven at the same level as you, Stage Six. Three at Stage Seven and one at Stage Eight. And thatʼs only in the Parton Sect airships. My Spiritual Sense canʼt go far enough to check the others, but there are more Sun Urpins around.”

”Coult it be... there is a Transition Realm Sun Urpin here?” Klifon wondered.

”As far as I can see, there is only one at Stage Nine. Stage nine is equivalent to an Elemental Transformation Realm expert. After Stage Nine, the Spirits join the same cultivation realms as all other races, the Transition Realm. However, I canʼt see anyone at that level,” Roan

explained.

”I see...” Klifon was still intrigued. With Rean and Roanʼs cultivation, it should have been impossible for them to see the cultivation of such high-level experts, and yet they could. ʼWell, they might be just speaking nonsense...ʼ He thought to himself.

*Rumble...*

Suddenly, the region began to tremble, which lasted a few seconds. After it stopped, the concentration of Sunlight Energy at the entrance reduced a little more. The entrance was getting closer and closer to opening. It wouldnʼt take long now.
