Death… And Me

Chapter 3142 A Change

Rean could have gone to some city and used the teleport formations with fake identities. However, to give Zangeshu enough time to get used to that intense killi- ahem, training method, he had Kentucky fly nonstop. Just like that, they continued flying for over a month, finally arriving in the Queintin Continent. Suddenly, Kentucky stopped in mid-air as Rean flew to his side. He opened his CD, checking the information of the area. ”Seems like we are here.”

*gasp, gasp, gasp...*

A few seconds later, Zangeshu also arrived, once again looking like a ghost more than anything else. ”W-What is it? I can... I can- *gasp* keep going.”

Rean glanced at him and shook his head. ”No need. After you got your meridians destroyed and rebuilt so many times, they are now back in a barely usable state. It is time for me to change your training. Besides, you donʼt really think we were flying around randomly, right?”

Zangeshu continued to breathe heavily. He wanted to take out his CD and check his location. Yet, because his Werdlem Stone was gone, he also lost access to the Werdlem Network. Of course, as Rean mentioned, he could use his bracelet to create a new ID for himself. Too bad Zangeshu had been flying nonstop until now. How could he have time to go to a city and register a new CD with his braceletʼs Werdlem Energy Signature? ”Where... are we?”

”Queintin Continent,” Kentucky answered.

”The Demon Beastsʼ Continent?” Zangeshu got confused. ”Sure, you definitely can find one or another Demon Beast city here that uses Circuitry Formations. But none of them get anywhere close to the humanoid racesʼ cities. Is there a reason to come here at all?”

Rean nodded. ”I need Dragon Blood. Too bad that there arenʼt any real dragons on this planet, so I will have to make do with the Dragonkin Blood and refine it later.”

Zangeshu felt a chill on his back. ”Do you know about the laws?”

Rean looked back at him. ”Which one? The one where ʼyou must not destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall?ʼ That one?”

Zangeshu immediately understood how idiotic his question was. Break the laws? Reanʼs group literally destroyed an important building of the Werdlem Empire on this planet. Even hunting a Dragonkin wouldnʼt be as bad as that. ”Forget I said anything.”

Laughing a little, Rean turned his attention back to the main task. ”Okay, according to the information I got, all Dragonkin Races live near the center of the Continent. I guess we have another week of flight ahead. Since we didnʼt take any teleport formations, our target has also changed. The closest one to us is the Lava Pristine Salamander, which has a tiny bit of the Red Dragon bloodline.”

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Roan appeared outside. He also took out his CD, taking a look at the information regarding that race. ”This one is actually slightly better. They have a higher number of members, so catching one shouldnʼt be too difficult.”

Zangeshu quickly raised his hand. ”Master, since you didnʼt come from this planet, you probably donʼt know about it. To make sure the rules are protected, the entire Dragonkin Racesʼ Territory is enveloped in a monitoring Formation that reaches to the skies and deep underground. It wonʼt be easy to approach any of the Dragon Racesʼ members without being detected.”

Rean pondered a bit. ʼSister Orb, would you be able to hack it?ʼ

[That depends. It is probably a Divine Level Formation being used, so we will need to get closer to its core. Trying to hack it from afar might raise a few alarms.]

Rean shrugged in the end. ”Well, pretending to be a demon beast it is then.”

Roan agreed. ”Need help?”

”Nope, it is fine,” Rean shook his head. ”By the way, do we truly catch one, or do we buy the blood? There are no rules about buying them, after all. Itʼs just that Foliana said no Dragon-related race would ever sell their blood. Something about their pride or whatever.”

Roan didnʼt really care. ”Catch one, buy the blood. Whichever you do is fine. Just get me the blood.” Roan then glanced back at Zangeshu, throwing him a Jade Slip right after. ”Hereʼs your new cultivation technique. The fact you have a common lightning element affinity made things easier.”

Zangeshu caught the jade slip, which he hadnʼt seen before. ”I only read about these things. You guys truly came from some bottom-of-the-barrel place, didnʼt you?”

Yet, when Zangeshu looked back at Roan, the man was no more. He didnʼt even wait for Zangeshu to speak before returning to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. Zangeshu didnʼt seem bothered. He most likely would have done the same. Instead, he looked at Rean. ”I already have a pretty good Cultivation Technique. Do I have to use this thing?”

Rean, who was still looking into his CD, just nodded. ”You have. Whatever technique you got on this mortal planet canʼt compare to a technique that was wholly built for your body, soul, dantian, element, and spiritual energy. There is no way your actual technique can reach the level of what Roan prepared for you. Donʼt forget we are talking about techniques from a mortal planet, after all.”

Zangeshu narrowed his eyes. Was it tailor-made for him? How come he doesnʼt remember? Well, he didnʼt need to. Roan just had to access Reanʼs memories every time Rean checked and healed Zangeshuʼs body. A simple mortal-level technique was just too easy for Roan to make.

Zangeshu, now breathing normally again, read the technique with his Spiritual Sense. The more he looked at it, the stranger his face became. The technique seemed crazy. It was indeed made for him, but it had huge drawbacks. For example, if he didnʼt make up for the necessary about of cultivation energy during every cultivation cycle, his own soul would receive a backlash since it was being trained at the same time. This and several other ʼpunishmentsʼ could be found inside.
