Chapter 1375 – Divine Demon Bird
Sister Orb immediately answered them. [That’s the thing that’s protecting everyone here. The Divine Origin Energy in this place is being mixed with Light Element before being attached to the living beings in this Divine Plane. Don’t ask me how it’s being done, though. All I can tell you is that there’s a formation working on it, but its level is so high that even analyzing it would take me centuries at the very least.]
Fortunately, Rean and Roan were more than satisfied with that explanation. After that, they looked around and saw that the disciples of the top ten powers were heading to their own corners. They also saw the two disciples who were following Opacli look at them with dark expressions. However, even though both of them were in the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm, none of them tried to attack the twins.
Hurio didn’t hear Sister Orb’s explanation, so Rean told him about the protection barrier himself. Of course, he pretended that it was just an idea of his since no one attacked them. Hurio nodded after listening, obviously happy that they wouldn’t need to fight in this place.
In any case, the Divine Plane was basically empty. Other than the white glow coming from its ground, there was nothing else to see in the area. That puzzled Rean’s group a little, as the little girl told them that there was something else they might be able to acquire here.
“Can you guys see anything different in this place at all?” Rean asked.
Roan, Kentucky, and Hurio shook their heads in response. “Everything looks exactly the same. However, Divine Sense doesn’t work well in this Lost Star Realm, so there might be something hidden here. Or perhaps the little girl was just making us look like fools all this time.”
After that, Kentucky brought their group to a corner far from the other cultivators. Since this plane was basically a flat white glowing ground, it was very easy to see the other cultivators. And that was considering the fact that all of them distanced themselves from each other, spanning several kilometers.
Kentucky couldn’t help but mention something at that point. “Since we’re all protected by this light, why would those disciples from the top ten powers stay so far from each other? It shouldn’t matter where you cultivate.”
Roan agreed with Kentucky, coming up with an idea as he answered, “That might mean that this protection won’t last forever. You all better keep your eyes peeled in case you see anything different. Anyways, let’s not waste time anymore. Kentucky, go down.”
To be safe, Kentucky landed as far as he could from any of the other teams before Rean, Roan, and Hurio hopped off his back. “Now then. Although there might be something else we should pay attention to here, that shouldn’t be our focus. Instead, do as all the others are doing, and let’s cultivate.”
Rean nodded in response before he and Roan accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and pulled Celis out. Suddenly, an enormous Demon Tree appeared in that Divine Plane, much to everyone’s surprise.
“The hell?!”
“Where did that thing come from?!”
“It’s a Demon Tree… but which species is that?”
“Did it pass the test as well without anyone noticing?”
“As if! If it had, it would have entered from the same portal as we did. However, it just appeared several kilometers away from it.”
“Those guys from the Jhiod Continent are really resourceful.”
By now, the cultivators were really starting to believe that Rean’s group came from Jhiod. Otherwise, how would they be able to do such a thing? Hiding a Demon Tree on that side should be extremely hard.
Hurio, obviously, was even more shocked. “What the fuck is this thing?!”
Rean laughed before introducing the tree to Hurio. “This is Celis. Just like Kentucky, he also has sentience. He came from the same continent as we did.”
Celis looked at Hurio for a moment before completely ignoring him. Instead, Celis spread his roots all around, covering at least a kilometer in radius. He only wanted to cultivate and absorb as much Divine Origin Energy as possible, and his roots would help a lot with that. However… “This ground can’t be penetrated. I tried to burrow my roots into it, but my roots couldn’t go even a centimeter down.”
Rean then asked back, “Will that reduce your cultivation speed?”
Celis shook his head, replying, “No. This place isn’t the outside world. Since there isn’t a real ground for me to attach myself to, then the cultivation speed will stay the same.”
“That’s good.” Obviously, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were happy to hear that.
Celis then looked at Kentucky after that and told him, “Come to your nest and cultivate there. With our synergy, our cultivation speed will be much higher.”
Kentucky didn’t need to hear it twice before landing on Celis’s back. In fact, Celis didn’t even try to look like a different Demon Tree and immediately returned to his World Swallowing Cedar form. Thanks to that, someone in the group recognized his race.
“A World Swallowing Cedar!” Surprisingly, it wasn’t the disciples from the top ten powers that recognized Celis. Instead, it was that demon beast who was in his human form, the only other being other than the twins’ group who had entered this place.
He intended to first sit down and cultivate. However, after seeing that, he immediately came to talk with Rean’s group.
Naturally, Rean’s group noticed his approach. “Hello, sir. Do you need anything?”
The demon beast then looked at the top of the World Swallowing Cedar and saw Kentucky sit on his nest, looking at him as well. Eventually, he decided to ask, “Are you willing to sell this World Swallowing Cedar to me? I can pay a very good price for him.”
Rean and Roan looked at Celis with weird expressions. Sell Celis? They didn’t have that kind of authority. Rean then asked Celis through a Divine Sense Message, ‘Well, you heard the guy. Do you want to sell yourself?’
Celis felt like giving Rean a beating. ‘Fuck you. Can’t you tell? He’s obviously a Divine Demon Bird. Otherwise, why would he show any interest in me? He also wants to build a nest on me. Just so you know, Kentucky and I totally can feel the Divine Blood in his body.’
Rean was surprised to hear that, and he immediately looked back at that demon beast and asked, “Which kind of Divine Demon Bird are you?”
