Death… And Me

Chapter 1527 - Not coming out

Of course, it didnʼt stop there. They also saw how the twinsʼ Divine Energy Pool was simply gigantic. Even though it was reduced many times due to the loss of their Nascent Souls, the twins still had Divine Energy Pools around three times bigger than common cultivators.

Another thing was that they could tell just how resistant the twinsʼ dantians were. One must remember that the twins used the Universe Essence to fortify their dantians against damage all the way back in the Core Formation Realm. Naturally, this part didnʼt change at all.

”Wh-What kind of monsters are you two?”

One of the elders immediately had an idea, suggesting, ”Himatikia, theyʼre definitely part of the Sacred Undersea Kingdom. Only if theyʼre related to that place would their talent be this heaven-defying.”

The other elders immediately nodded in agreement. They, too, could only think about this reason.

Rean faintly smiled in response as he replied, ”Well, to be more precise, weʼre kind of guinea pigs of the Sacred Undersea Kingdom. After all, the Sacred Undersea Kingdom is controlled by aquatic demon beasts.” Of course, that was all a lie... which truly did look to be true after they considered the Sacred Undersea Kingdomʼs position.

”Itʼs the first time someone from there fell into the Upside Down World because they turned into statues,” Himatikia said in response. She then took her arm away from the twins as she had already confirmed they werenʼt lying. They truly were at the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. ”Since you came from there, could it be that the Sacred Undersea Kingdom finally discovered this place?”

Immediately, the other eldersʼ eyes lit up once they heard that. Wouldnʼt that mean they finally had a chance to get out?

Unfortunately, Rean shook his head in response, telling her, ”Sorry for disappointing you. However, it was truly just an accident that made us turn into statues. We canʼt tell you the details, but I can guarantee no one asked us to check anything. First of all, everyone considers those transformed to be the same as being dead. Why would anyone try to verify anything?”

Sure enough, the hopes of the purging organizationʼs elders were crushed as fast as they appeared. ”I see... that makes sense. Otherwise, the Sacred Undersea Kingdom would have sent someone much stronger than you two.”

Rean then returned to the main topic, saying, ”So, have you confirmed we havenʼt cheated?”

Himatikiaʼs group must stay impartial at all times. They were also prohibited from revealing any secrets that werenʼt relevant to the situation, so they couldnʼt talk about the twinsʼ origins or their superior conditions. In the end, Himatikia could only nod. It was also the reason the twins didnʼt mind showing her all of that. The purging organizationʼs elders couldnʼt do anything about it.

Following that, she took flight once again and positioned herself above the field, announcing, ”I have now checked the twinsʼ foundations. Thereʼs nothing wrong there. They are, without a doubt, at the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.”

”Impossible!” Naturally, those were the thoughts of everyone watching. Even Ormo was surprised, thinking that the twins would be caught somehow. He also checked Reanʼs foundation before. Thatʼs why he agreed to let only Rean and Roan participate. At that time, he didnʼt find anything wrong with the twinsʼ foundation, only that their talents were truly heaven-defying. In any case, he was concerned that the purging organization would find something wrong that he didnʼt. However, that didnʼt happen.

Well, not everyone was as happy as Ormo.

”Elder Himatikia, how can that be possible? You must be kidding, right?” Zosviei immediately voiced his opinion. ”If thatʼs really the case, then let me check them myself. I refuse to believe theyʼre at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.”

”Enough!” However, Himatikiaʼs expression only went dark after hearing that. ”Are you saying that our purging organization is siding with the Tranquio Sect?”

That was truly a serious accusation. If that was truly the case, Himatikiaʼs group would be killed as the organization had to follow the rules at all costs. However, if it turned out to be a false accusation, it wouldnʼt be surprising if the Hura Clan was wiped out as a result. They would be eliminated to set an example. ”I...”

Indeed, Zosviei couldnʼt risk it. As much as he didnʼt believe the twins could be that strong with their cultivation, he had no other choice but to comply. After all, if he was wrong, the consequences would be dire. ”Iʼm sorry, Elder Himatikia. I let myself be guided by emotions.”

Himatikia nodded after that. ”Iʼll let this one pass since this is indeed an extraordinary situation. However, you better think twice before you open your mouth again.” In fact, even Himatikia wanted to ask a lot more things to the twins, but she and the elders of the purging organization had other tests to carry out. ”The next test will start now. Send the ten people you wish to take part in.”

The twins didnʼt move, though. Instead, they simply looked as eight more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Tranquio Sect entered the field. Yes, back when Rean showed his talent to Ormo, he also asked to let him and Roan take part in the Nascent Soul Realm level challenge.

Ormo wasnʼt sure if he should do that or not, so Rean simply told him to make his judgment after watching him in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm test. After what he saw, however, Ormo truly didnʼt want the twins to be anywhere else other than that field.

”Wait! This is against the rules!” Well, Zosviei obviously noticed that as well. ”The twins are not in the Nascent Soul Realm! Why are they taking part in this challenge?”

Rean laughed out loud after hearing that, saying in response, ”Hahaha! Thatʼs where youʼre wrong. The rules say you canʼt send anyone above the limit of the test. It says absolutely nothing about not letting cultivators below the limit take part.”

Himatikia couldnʼt help but smile a bit when she heard that. Right now, she began to find this situation quite entertaining, completely different from her thoughts a few minutes ago. ”Heʼs right. If you wish, you can review the rules yourself.” With that, she threw a jade slip at Zosviei. Naturally, it had all the rules of the challenges on it.
