Death… And Me

Chapter 1889 Time to Breakthrough

Roan didnʼt quite like that. ʼInstead of trying out our luck, I would rather give up on breaking through the next stage of our body cultivation technique and come back in the future.ʼ

Rean didnʼt deny that. ʼIf thatʼs what you want to do, then we better leave now. Iʼm free to go to the exit of the mountain range, where the visitors first arrive. That place is outside of the scrambled space, but just slightly. I can enter the Dimensional Realm, and we immediately teleport away.ʼ

Roan pondered over it for a bit in silence. Naturally, if they could get their hands on the Iridescent Tears, he would definitely want that more. ʼWhat are the chances?ʼ

Rean pondered over it for a bit before answering, ʼI would say 50%. Of course, itʼs only possible because I can use Dark and Light Elements. I will use the Light Element properties when it comes to souls to keep that small part of Jakarʼs soul alive. As for the Dark Element, itʼs what Iʼm going to use to cut it off.ʼ

Roan couldnʼt help but ask after that, ʼBut is it okay to cut a soul? Wouldnʼt it affect Jakarʼs memories or something like that? Or worse, cutting even such a small piece might kill him, no?ʼ

Rean then explained, ʼThat very small part of his soul that comes out to connect to the Golden Feather is also too small to hold any memories. Even if I cut it off, Jakar wouldnʼt lose any... or so I think. However, the part about it killing him is definitely possible. Thatʼs why I warned him. He might lose his life. I wasnʼt kidding. After all, Iʼve never tried to cut someoneʼs soul before. I wouldnʼt try it even if his soul extended like a thin thread to connect to the Golden Feather.ʼ

Roan thought about what Rean had said so far and thought that 50% werenʼt bad odds. The Fifth Grade of the Starlight Body could only be achieved after the Void Tempering Realm, so they wouldnʼt use the tears for a very long time. But thatʼs also why they should get their hands on it now. Just how long would it take for the twins to enter the Space Bending Realm? Where would they even be at that time? It was too far in the future to make an educated guess. ʼOkay, letʼs give it a shot.ʼ

Roan then asked something else. ʼWhat about connecting it to another Winged Provis?ʼ

ʼThatʼs much easier,ʼ Rean answered. ʼThe Golden Feather is somehow connected to all the other Winged Provis. If Iʼm not wrong, the moment the new holderʼs soul feels the presence of a real, living Golden Feather touching its core, it will accept it straight away. Of course, I might be wrong to think about that.ʼ

[Have you two finished?] Suddenly, Sister Orb intervened.

ʼWhat is it?ʼ

[You will have to wait several weeks until Jakar comes back with the tears, right? Perhaps an entire month. In that case, why donʼt you finally make your breakthrough into the Void Tempering Realm? Youʼve been postponing it for far too long already.]

Rean could imagine what was happening. ʼLet me guess, Celis is bothering you again.ʼ

It was then that Celisʼs voice echoed in Reanʼs mind outside. ʼHmph! Bothering? If not for me, you two wouldnʼt be so far ahead in your cultivation. Now youʼve been making me wait forever, and the Free Continent competition was over ages ago. Iʼm tired of waiting. Come into the Dimensional Realm, and letʼs get over with it. Thereʼs nothing wrong with a Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivator breaking through, so no one there will care.ʼ

Roan agreed with Celis. ʼIndeed, we have waited for long enough. Once you get your free time from the merchant work Fran gave you, come inside.ʼ

ʼAlright,ʼ Rean didnʼt mind it either.

Rean then did several more negotiations under the Winged Provis raceʼs name that day before he was allowed to leave. Of course, the Winged Provis already knew he had a Pocket Dimensional Realm. When he disappeared, the Winged Provis watching him immediately focused their attention on the entrance of the Dimensional Realm left behind. As long as they knew where it was, they would be able to feel it and keep Rean in check.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Rean, Roan, Celis, and Kentucky gathered together. They were not in the System Sect, though. Instead, they came to an empty space where no one would bother them.

”So weʼre finally doing it!” Kentucky had been quite bored during the past few months. Because of Reanʼs travel with Jakar, he didnʼt get a single chance to come out.

[Alright, you four. Focus. Kentucky and Celis are a demon beast and tree respectively, so they donʼt need cultivation techniques. Just go at it like you always do. Rean, Roan, have you checked the process in the technique already?]

The twins nodded in response. ʼWe did that a long time ago.ʼ

[Great! Letʼs start. Iʼll tell you what to do as always, just in case.]

They immediately pulled many of their Rank Two Divine Stones and piled them up around them. There was no need for high-rank Divine Stones since the breakthroughs were guaranteed with the systemʼs help. They just needed to accumulate enough energy over time.

Soon, the Divine Energy of those stones began to flow around them, gathering more and more. The Divine Stones obviously shattered into dust as their energies were siphoned dry, but that was normal.

[Alright, the Void Tempering Realm is just as the name implies. You need to feel and gather the Spatial Powers from the surroundings and gather it into your bodies. Usually, this would be the hardest part for everyone since this would be the first time they would try to perceive that energy. However, all four of you already got in contact with Spatial Powers, so it wonʼt be a problem.]

Sister Orb was right. Be it Rean, Roan, Celis, or Kentucky, none of them had any issues bringing the Spatial Powers to their bodies.

[Good. Now all you need to do is drive this Spatial Power into your dantians. Rean, Roan, once you get it there, youʼll refine this power into the Foundation Pillars. You will know youʼve succeeded once the Foundation Pillars start to gather Spatial Powers on their own.]

Sure enough, it didnʼt take long for the twinsʼ Foundation Pillars to start to change.
