Death… And Me

Chapter 3196: Doubts About The Mortal World



Rifindio watched from the side, using his Spiritual Sense to make sure no one would approach without them knowing. "Will it take long?"

Zangeshu nodded. "Probably a few hours. We can't really check the formation itself, so I can only work with its residual energy. Fortunately, the formation is most likely the reason for the increase of Spiritual Energy in the surroundings. This alone makes my life easier."

Now and then, some cultivators passed by, coming and going from the formation. Most of them seemed to be part of the Inquisition Hall, but even though they saw Rifindio and Zangeshu, they ignored the two. There were too many cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits settled around the formation, so it wasn't anything new to see some of them here.

Zageshu would change position sometimes. As the formation had hundreds of kilometers of extension, he used Rifindio so they could fly faster to the other sides. Then, he repeated the same process, looking at the skies from time to time and narrowing his eyes.

Finally, Zangeshu finished verifying things on the ground. "Rifindio, do you think we can fly above the formation but at a distance where we won't be bothered by the Inquisition Hall?" Rifindio looked in the formation's direction. "I'm not sure. The protection formations around it are in a dome shape. So, in theory, if we fly high enough to not get too close to the dome, it shouldn't be a problem. I can't guarantee, though. We might need to flee at a moment's notice."

"Let's do it." Zangeshu didn't mind. He had to find out more about these giant formations'

use.

Rifindio grabbed Zangeshu with his Spiritual Energy and shot to the skies. After flying far enough, he changed direction and flew above the formation. He was way above the clouds, almost flying out of the Atmosphere.

Neither Zangeshu nor Rifindio minded that. Rifindio stopped there, looking down at the giant formation and the protection formation around it. If he looked into the distance, he could barely also see the domes of another two such protection formations enclosing the giant formations inside.

Zangeshu floated in there with his Spiritual Energy, and as he thought, the concentration of it was ever higher above the formation itself. His devices collected a lot of data while Zangeshu looked deep into the void. "So that's how it is..."

*Grab!*

Suddenly, Rifindio caught Zangeshu with his Spiritual Energy and shot into the distance. "We caught too much attention. A Transition Realm Spiritual Sense passed by us, so we need to leave."

Zangeshu didn't want to leave so soon, but he got enough information for now, so he complied. "Alright, let's go to another formation. Make sure no one is following us."

"Don't worry," Rifindio assured him. "With so many forces living near these formations now, the guy watching us from inside the formation probably thought we were another two from such powers. His Spiritual Sense has already disappeared."

A day went by, and back in the city, Rean just left another Alchemy Store with a few more materials. He sent them all into the Dimensional Realm, speaking. 'Here, another few batches. Kentucky should have the rest by now.' Rean and Kentucky took Roan's list and split to buy the herbs and other materials necessary. That would save them time.

Roan checked everything, nodding in satisfaction. 'These are the things indeed.' He looked at his last cauldron, the one that had the last bit of Lava Pristine Salamander Blood. The thousands and thousands of liters of their blood were all pretty much gone by now. In its place, no more than a few milliliters remained. In the end, the Salamanders truly had a very thin Dragon Bloodline. That's why Roan requested so much from the start.

"Here am I," Kentucky's voice echoed in Rean's ears as he came running from another direction. Just like any other big city on the planet, this one too prohibited one from flying around.

Rean nodded and took the items. Finally, they returned to the hotel room, allowing Rean and Kentucky to enter the Dimensional Realm. "Here you go!"

Roan glanced at them but didn't take the items. He paid attention to the last cauldron, controlling its Spiritual Energy and fire in the last steps of refinement of the blood.

*Tluc!*

Finally, Roan opened the lead of the cauldron, turning it down with his Spiritual Energy, allowing a few drops of blood to enter a vial he had prepared in advance. Roan looked to the side, seeing that all the Salamanders' blood was completely used now. "Alright, this is it. We got almost 200ml of Flood Dragon Blood. That's more than enough."

He took Rean's items as well, checking to see if they were correct. "The materials are in order as well. I can start concocting the Void Shattering Pills anytime I want now."

Rean and Kentucky were obviously happy to hear that. "So, what are you waiting for?"

Roan pondered a bit. His instincts told him something wasn't right. All the items were there, he knew how to make a pill that would be of excellent quality, and the pills should bring them to the Void Tempering Realm. 'All ascensions are made with the Werdlem Empire's help, which brings you to the higher realms. There is no information in the Werdlem Network of cultivators reaching the Void Tempering Realm in the Mortal world. Higher level experts often come from the Divine Realm to visit Mortal Worlds, but they all reached the Void Tempering Realm up there...'

Roan wondered if there was some kind of barrier that prevented such a thing from happening. However, without information, he couldn't be sure. "Whatever. I'll start to concoct the pills now. The two of you, go out and don't bother me."

[Just in time. Zangeshu and Rifindio just arrived in the room.] Sister Orb told Rean and

Kentucky.

Rean and Kentucky nodded and disappeared from the Dimensional Realm, appearing in the hotel room once again. "So, what did you manage to find?"
