Death… And Me

Chapter 682 - Plans And Cultivation

Roan's interest was immediately piqued to know of that. 'Rank Ten Bloodline Trial? Such a thing really exists?' He soon asked through their Soul Connection.

'Yes,' Rean nodded as he responded. 'However, this Bloodline Trial is only active when a new head is about to be selected. From what Palaris told me, that's the reason the Soul Rulers are the main force controlling the Bloodline Trials around the world.'

He then continued, 'Every time a new head is selected, the previous head will become one of the Soul Rulers' Ancestors and retire from the position. That means the Soul Rulers definitely have a few hidden old monsters with Rank Ten Bloodline Soul Marks. Obviously, none of the other forces outside dare to cause trouble for them.'

Roan nodded, saying in response, 'That makes a lot of sense. They have that weird tree that can gather this ridiculous amount of Spiritual Energy for themselves. Their own members probably have no lack of Rank Nine Bloodline Marks, which only emperors and the like are allowed to have outside this place. On top of that, they also have old monsters with Rank Ten Marks. Whoever comes to bother them will only meet their maker.'

Rean sighed before saying, 'It seems like we finally know who owns those Spiritual Senses.'

Ever since Rean and Roan had arrived in the Soul Rulers' territory, Rean's Spiritual Sense Bending Skill picked up a powerful Spiritual Sense that far surpassed any other sense watching them in the area. Every now and then, that Spiritual Sense would disappear and be swapped by another one of equivalent power, though having a different owner. 'Obviously, those Spiritual Senses are these Ancestors who take turns to watch over their territory.'

Roan agreed with Rean, saying, 'Yes. However, there's a gap between those senses.'

He then pondered on his experience over these two years as he continued, 'Every time a new Ancestor takes place to watch the Soul Rulers' territory, the other disappears way earlier. It does make sense, though. After all, it isn't as if anyone would notice the exact moment one of them leaves, and the other comes in.'

Rean shrugged his shoulders, responding, 'I noticed that as well. There was even a time where we didn't even feel their Spiritual Sense for an entire day. In the end, they've been in power for so long that they became lax. They simply don't believe anyone would be able to notice these gaps and use it against them.'

'However...' Roan warned. 'There are moments when they swap very quickly. That being said, it will be up to our luck when we decide to make use of it. If we try something the moment one disappears just to be caught by the next one, we'll be forced to improvise.'

Rean sighed before changing the topic, asking Sister Orb, 'By the way, how much longer will it take, Sister Orb?'

[I already took control over the Soul Stone Formation System. However, I can't modify it to your liking. The only thing I can do is mess things up.] Sister Orb replied. As she mentioned in the past, she could only analyze and control formations but not build them. She's like a car driver who could use a car but had no idea how it was made.

Rean was more than satisfied with that, saying, 'That's good enough for me. If I could, I would ask you to do it straight away. Every time I think how many kids have been transformed into Soul Stones while I've been here makes me feel like storming out to kill all those scum.'

Rean quickly calmed down before continuing, 'Don't worry, I didn't have much time to look into the Soul Stone Formation, but I made sure to pay attention to the details that mattered to me. You just need to mess the runes I'll tell you about, and the whole thing will blow apart.'

Rean then showed an evil smile as he said with a malevolent chuckle, 'Anyone close to it at that time better be at the Saint Realm or else. Otherwise, they'll blow to pieces with the formation. Hahaha!'

[Well, the Zasfins in there definitely wouldn't expect something like this to happen. You might even get some of the Saint Realm ones if you catch them off guard. After all, the amount of Spiritual Energy used to operate that thing is simply ridiculously high.] Sister Orb wasn't any happier with what was happening in that place either.

'What about the Bloodline Trial Control Formations?' Rean asked soon after with a hint of optimism.

Sister Orb couldn't help but take on a gloomy tone as she answered, [Those formations aren't so simple. They aren't at the level of a Natural Formation that can control time, but they're really intricate. I believe I'll need at least another half year to finish obtaining control over the overall system.] She was already using the whole Soul Gem System's processing power on it, but it was still far from enough.

*Chick! Chick, Chick!* Out of nowhere, Kentucky's Spiritual Sense message came out and asked, 'Rean, Roan, can I help when the time comes?'

Sister Orb had been helping Kentucky perfect his vocabulary during these two years. By now, Kentucky could pretty much use Spiritual Sense messages like any experienced Rank Five Demon Beast. It's just that he was still acting like a kid, though...one could only imagine how bored Kentucky felt while still confined in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Besides, he saw how many girls were being sent to become Soul Stones, which truly angered the perverted bird.

Rean smiled before saying, 'Of course, you can help! As a Demon Bird, and a Divine one at that, you're definitely much faster than Roan or me when it comes to flying. It will be up to your speed to get the kids into the Dimensional Realm as fast as possible.'

*Chick!* 'Leave it to me! I'll fly faster than any Stage Four Demon Beast!' Kentucky responded as he used his wing to pat his chest.

On the other hand, Roan was thinking about something else, muttering, 'Half a year...it might be enough.'

Rean understood what he was talking about. 'Indeed. The Spiritual Energy here is dense as hell. Not to mention that we can leave our mirages outside to fool the Zasfins while Sister Orb keeps watch. Thanks to that, we have time to fight against each other or Kentucky in the Dimensional Realm to get used to our cultivation. If things continue like this, we should be able to enter the Nascent Soul Realm any time soon.'

Indeed, the Nascent Soul Realm! At the moment, Rean and Roan had already achieved the Peak of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm thanks to the environment. That's just how dense the Spiritual Energy concentration in this place was.
