Death… And Me

Chapter 1889 Time to Breakthrough

Chapter 1889 Time to Breakthrough

Roan didn't quite like that. 'Instead 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.'

Rean didn't deny that. 'If that's what you want to do, then we better leave now. I'm 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.'

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. 'What are the chances?'

Rean pondered over it for a bit before answering, 'I would say 50%. Of course, it's 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 Jakar's soul alive. As for the Dark Element, it's what I'm going to use to cut it off.'

Roan couldn't help but ask after that, 'But is it okay to cut a soul? Wouldn't it affect Jakar's memories or something like that? Or worse, cutting even such a small piece might kill him, no?'

Rean then explained, 'That 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 wouldn't lose any... or so I think. However, the part about it killing him is definitely possible. That's why I warned him. He might lose his life. I wasn't kidding. After all, I've never tried to cut someone's soul before. I wouldn't try it even if his soul extended like a thin thread to connect to the Golden Feather.'

Roan thought about what Rean had said so far and thought that 50% weren't bad odds. The Fifth Grade of the Starlight Body could only be achieved after the Void Tempering Realm, so they wouldn't use the tears for a very long time. But that's 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. 'Okay, let's give it a shot.'

Roan then asked something else. 'What about connecting it to another Winged Provis?'

'That's much easier,' Rean answered. 'The Golden Feather is somehow connected to all the other Winged Provis. If I'm not wrong, the moment the new holder's 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.'

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

'What is it?'

[You will have to wait several weeks until Jakar comes back with the tears, right? Perhaps an entire month. In that case, why don't you finally make your breakthrough into the Void Tempering Realm? You've been postponing it for far too long already.]

Rean could imagine what was happening. 'Let me guess, Celis is bothering you again.'

It was then that Celis's voice echoed in Rean's mind outside. 'Hmph! Bothering? If not for me, you two wouldn't be so far ahead in your cultivation. Now you've been making me wait forever, and the Free Continent competition was over ages ago. I'm tired of waiting. Come into the Dimensional Realm, and let's get over with it. There's nothing wrong with a Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivator breaking through, so no one there will care.'

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

'Alright,' Rean didn't mind it either.

Rean then did several more negotiations under the Winged Provis race's 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.

p 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 we're finally doing it!" Kentucky had been quite bored during the past few months. Because of Rean's travel with Jakar, he didn't get a single chance to come out.

[Alright, you four. Focus. Kentucky and Celis are a demon beast and tree respectively, so they don't 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. 'We did that a long time ago.'

[Great! Let's start. I'll 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 system's 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 won't 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, you'll refine this power into the Foundation Pillars. You will know you've succeeded once the Foundation Pillars start to gather Spatial Powers on their own.]

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the twins' Foundation Pillars to start to change.
