Death… And Me

Chapter 1754 We Shall See

”Just so you know, the Jamai Sectʼs hundred disciples had also been kept in the dark, and so is any other power taking part in it. With that being said, all of you shall be taking part in the Free Continent Competition with as much information as anyone else,” said Hilanshi.

”Remember, no one else from the Jamai Sect can be used anymore. Only the one hundred disciples that are at the Space Bending Realm or below can enter it. As for the subordinates, they must be from smaller allied continents with cultivation at the Transition Realm or below.”

”As for the competition itself, youʼll find that out once you get there. Now, the punishment for any power that breaks this rule is severe. Your elders were told everything they must know, so I hope they keep things as planned.”

”Lastly, we will depart to the new Free Continent in the center of the Realm of Gods tomorrow. If any of you have anything to prepare for, do it now.”

Hilanshi didnʼt seem to want to spend an extra second there. Now that he confirmed that there were no extra members from the Jamai Sect, he decided to leave straight away and would only come back when the time for departure arrived.

Seeing Hilanshi leave, the others decided to do the same. Without much surprise, the Jamai Sectʼs disciples immediately left their subordinates behind and passed the job of taking care of them to other lower disciples. Well, there were obviously a few exceptions, and Luina was one of them.

”Alright, you two, come with me.” Luina quickly left the room as Rean and Roan followed her. She brought them to her own residence, where they just happened to meet her mother.

Well, it went without saying that Luinaʼs mother didnʼt like that very much. ”Was there a need to bring your subordinates here? You will probably spend a lot of time together once the competition starts.”

Luina shook her head before explaining, ”Mother, as you know, Iʼm also a reincarnation. These two guys just so happen to be two people from the planet I lived back then in the Mortal Realm.”

Rean and Roan looked at Luina in surprise. ʼWhy would she even reveal such a thing?ʼ they thought.

Luina didnʼt seem to mind as she quickly introduced the twins, ”The white ghost here is called Rean, while the piece of wood is his brother, Roan.”

Rean scratched the back of his head in response. ”Errr... nice to meet you, lady... sorry, I donʼt know your name.”

”Cantafia is my name.” The woman used her three pupils to look through the twins. Just like Luan, she was also a Sacred Eye race member. ”Thatʼs quite a huge amount of Divine Energy you have in your dantians. It is hard to believe youʼre still two Late Stage Transition Realm cultivators. In any case, what a weird foundation. You have ten instead of nine pillars, and they even pierce out of your dantians. I havenʼt seen humans with this kind of foundation before.” Sure enough, it was an easy task to see through the twins for someone at her level and her innate racial ability.

”I guess it makes sense that you cultivated your way to the point where you could ascend. However, are you sure that theyʼre up to the task of being your subordinates? I had to use my position in the Jamai Sect to let an Initial Stage Space Bending Realm like you take part in the competition. Since they came from the Mortal Realm, do they even have a level of strength worth mentioning?” she asked in the end, worried about her daughter.

Rean was surprised by something else, though. ”So you donʼt call her Ramona but Luina instead?”

Cantafia nodded, saying, ”This idiot didnʼt like the name I gave her after she recovered her past memories. However, sheʼs already registered in the sect as Ramona, so everyone else uses this name. Alone, however, sheʼll start throwing a tantrum if I call her Ramona.”

”Mom!” Luina couldnʼt help but feel a little embarrassed after that. ”Thereʼs no need to go into detail!”

Cantafia shrugged her shoulders after hearing that. ”Yeah, yeah, yeah... so, do they have what it takes?”

Luina quickly nodded, telling her mother, ”They do. Compared to other Transition Realm cultivators, demon beasts, or spirits subordinates, they most likely donʼt lose to anyone. And thatʼs already considering theyʼre one stage away from the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm.”

Cantafia looked at the twins after that and asked, ”Can you prove that?”

Rean pondered over it for a bit before taking out his Black Star. After that, he activated his Sword Intent, which was at the third level. Immediately, the swords in the area, including the ones inside spatial rings, seemed to react to Reanʼs words, proving that it wasnʼt a joke. ”I hope this is enough, Lady Cantafia.”

Cantafia would be lying if she said she wasnʼt at least a little surprised by that. ”Oh-ho... Third Level Sword Intent. Thatʼs more than I expected from cultivators of such a desolate continent. Yuivo also told me that you have a robust body cultivation technique and were able to resist the traversing of the Spatial Gate on your own. Not to mention you already have more or less half the control of an Initial Stage Void Tempering Realm cultivator when it comes to Space Power.”

The twins werenʼt surprised that Cantafia found out about that. ”Well, we did train a lot to reach this level. How do we fare against same level cultivators of your Jamai Sect?”

”I donʼt know,” Cantafia answered without a hint of doubt.

Seeing the puzzled expression on the twinsʼ faces, Luina immediately explained, ”Thatʼs because any genius of the sect that is really worth grooming will receive the Void Shattering Pill. With that being said, the only geniuses worth paying attention to are already at the Void Tempering Realm or above. The ones who had to cultivate up to the Transition Realm normally are simply not worth mentioning, or so my mother believes.”

Cantafia nodded, replying, ”Thatʼs correct. I wonder if you two can change my mind after this competition like my daughter believes you can. We shall see.”
