Death… And Me

Chapter 1506: Down We Go

Roan immediately noticed something off when Rean mentioned the phrase ʼsecond time.ʼ ”Formation? Second time? Are you saying...”

Rean nodded, saying, ”There is no doubt. What we have under us is definitely a natural formation. The runes are obviously unlike the runes we saw in that formation back in Sunkan Planet. However, there are a few points in the runes of a natural formation that are unmistakable. This is absolutely a natural formation.”

Kentucky couldnʼt help but ask after that, ”Does that mean it also affects time? The one we entered back then accelerated time ten times, after all.”

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, ”Time and space are related. If you want to accelerate time, you must meddle with space.” He then looked at Luan and asked, ”Your affinity is space. Can you feel the presence of spatial powers in the formation below?”

Luan immediately shook his head, telling Roan, ”Sorry, dad. I canʼt. Was I supposed to?”

Roan shook his head as well. ”No. Also, thereʼs no need to apologize if you didnʼt do anything wrong. Anyways, youʼre certain you canʼt feel any space powers, right?”

Luan nodded, saying, ”Yes. I really canʼt feel anything like that... but Iʼm not really sure what I should feel.”

Roan was satisfied with that. ”No problem. Even if youʼre wrong, itʼs not your fault.” Following that, Roan looked at Rean and Kentucky, saying, ”Alright, so thereʼs probably no time acceleration or something in there.”

Rean agreed with Roan, nodding as he told Kentucky, ”Kentucky, go down slowly.”

Kentucky nodded in response, but he couldnʼt help but ask, ”Donʼt you feel like this is a bit weird?”

”What do you mean?” Rean and Roan asked at the same time.

Kentucky then explained, ”I mean... has no one found this place before? Our Divine Sense bending skill canʼt capture any Divine Sense. However, even though we moved into several different paths and took a few hours to arrive, itʼs not like this is that hard to find. Considering how long this place has existed, I wonder why there isnʼt anyone else here. Is it really just the white powder? Surely we arenʼt the only ones who can just fend it off, right?”

Rean and Roan had to admit Kentuckyʼs words made sense. ”Could it be that itʼs because of the natural formation that no one found this place?”

Kentucky couldnʼt move too quickly because this was the source of the white powder. The concentration here was almost as high as the time the intensity of the Salt Sweep was at its highest. Even the bubble and the Dark Element around them could only barely keep up with the white powder passing through them.

Eventually, Kentucky landed on the ground, which gave Rean the chance to take a look at the natural formationʼs runes. ”I see...” Seeing the runes by himself was several times better than just hearing the description from Luan.

At the same time, Sister Orbʼs words resounded in his ears. [I can finally feel this formation.]

Rean nodded, saying, ʼI know. Look at these runes. The formation was being concealed. Itʼs not the work of a cultivator but part of the natural formation itself. I have to admit that even for something natural, the arrangements are really an eye-opener.ʼ

Rean then looked at Luan, Roan, and Kentucky. ”This formation has a concealment effect. Not only that but thereʼs also an illusory effect, which is far more powerful. Let alone us, I doubt even cultivators much stronger than us would find it extremely hard to find this place. Thatʼs most likely the reason no one found it before.”

Roan was surprised to hear that, asking, ”Are you saying this natural formation is at the Divine level?”

Rean nodded, replying, ”There is no doubt. Not only did it reach the Divine level, but itʼs probably at a very high stage too. Iʼll be honest, it shouldnʼt be far from a God-level formation as it reminds me of the formation in the Huring Sacred Floating Land. This formation doesnʼt lose out to that.”

Back when the twins arrived at the Huring Sacred Land, Sister Orb told them that the formation that kept the Sacred Land floating was at the God-level. Thatʼs why Rean was able to make a comparison. ”If Iʼm not wrong, I would put this formation to be at the Divine Peak-level or somewhere very close to it.”

Naturally, Kentucky could also tell why they were able to do it. ”So itʼs because we followed Luanʼs eyes that we got to get here.”

Roan nodded, saying, ”Luanʼs eyes simply see Energy and Elements other than normal vision.”

Luan confirmed Roanʼs words. ”Dad is right. I didnʼt pay attention to the surroundings with the normal pupils in my eyes. Instead, I used only my Divine Energy Pupils to follow the current of white powder, just like dad asked.”

Rean sighed in wonder. ”Iʼm becoming quite jealous of your eyes. This formation not only conceals itself, but its illusory power also affects oneʼs senses. Roan, Kentucky, and I didnʼt pay attention to anything as we simply let you guide our way. But even until now, our Divine Sense canʼt detect anything.”

Kentucky and Roan agreed with Rean. Their Divine Senses were fully spread, but the land didnʼt seem to have anything different.

Roan then asked the part he was most concerned about. ”Rean, is the formation the one responsible for the white powder?” He had to ask that. After all, if the natural formation didnʼt create the white powder, there was still a chance that this place was being protected by someone.

Rean began to walk around in the formation as Kentucky and Roan followed him to keep the Dark Element protecting the group. After a few hours of investigation, Rean finally reached a conclusion. ”I donʼt think this formation is responsible for the white powder. Something deep below this ground is creating it instead. I just donʼt know if itʼs a natural phenomenon or if itʼs someone else doing it.”

Roan and Kentucky nodded after that. That meant they still might find some enemy. Then again, they came to this place aware that they might not be the only ones here.. ”Well, down we go.”
