Chapter 1259: Three Months
There was no way Roan would ask for a piece of the guy"s body. What if he took it personally and decided to kill them all? Perhaps even Etherian won"t be able to stop him.
Donkauhk didn"t mind. "Very well. I"ll see you some other time in the future."
Etherian then looked at Kristio, who nodded back at him. "Alright, Roan, Kentucky, we"re leaving."
However, Kentucky couldn"t help but ask before they left, "Can I have some of your body for lunch?"
Roan almost vomited blood! He already ignored one, and then the second idiot just had to do that instead. However...
*Crack!*
"Here you go. Don"t try to eat everything at once." Donkauhk simply tore a small part of his belly and pa.s.sed it to Kentucky. The chunk was so big that it was almost half of Kentucky"s size! Well, that was almost nothing compared to the Diamond Golem"s actual size.
"Is that really okay?" Roan couldn"t help but ask.
Donkauhk understood what Roan was thinking. "It"s fine. Such a small piece will grow back in one or two days at most. Minokawas can get stronger by eating strong materials. It makes me proud to know that a Minokawa considers my body strong enough to be worth consuming."
Kentucky immediately put his claws on the huge chunk before thanking the golem. "Thank you, senior. I"ll take my leave now." Soon after, he took flight.
Rean also saw what happened through his connection with Roan, though. "Kentucky! Don"t eat everything! Leave some for me!"
Roan didn"t know what to do with those guys, so he simply ignored both this time.
Etherian then brought the two back to his residence. "Thank you for the help. We did have a way of waking Senior Donkauhk up. However, it would probably be bad for his body. Kentucky did make him wake up on his own, so that helped a lot." He then asked, "Is there anything else? Remember that my offer is still valid. You can stay in the Sacred Land for as long as you want."
Roan shook his head in response. "We have already decided. We will be leaving once we get the things we need here."
Etherian didn"t insist. "Very well. If you find something else you need, let me know."
Roan nodded and then brought Kentucky back to the Beast Taming Hall. "Don"t eat too much. Remember that your body needs time to digest rare ores, and that guy"s body is definitely something much better than anything you ate so far."
Kentucky nodded, telling him, "I know that. One mouthful of Diamond Golem ore is enough to keep me full for an entire month." Well, considering Kentucky"s size, one mouthful was still over 20 kilograms. It"s just that Donkauhk gave him a lot of it."
It was then that Rean"s voice appeared behind the two. "Hmph! If I leave you alone, you will eventually eat everything. Now, use your beak and separate 20% of the ore for me. You can eat the rest."
"Shouldn"t you be forging equipment?" Kentucky asked.
"I was," Rean answered. "I just stopped for a moment to come and get the ore. After that, I"m heading back."
Kentucky didn"t want to do that, but Rean simply didn"t let him have his way. After a long argument, Kentucky unwillingly used his beak to cut 20% of the chunk he got before Rean put it inside the Dimensional Realm. "Good! I"m heading back. Wait, where"s Roan?"
Roan didn"t have the patience to wait and see their argument finish, so he left as soon as they started. "Oh well, whatever." Rean then went back to the Blacksmith Hall after that.
With that out of the way, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky focused on their own things. Time pa.s.sed in a flash, and soon, three months went by. During this time, Roan kept challenging the Saint Realm Ranking Board"s cultivators. It slightly disappointed him that he could only issue one challenge every three days.
As mentioned before, the Saint Realm Ranking Board had 1000 positions. Roan was successful in heading up to the 257th position. Considering the time Rean had been forging weapons and armors, Roan could have gone further. However, after he pa.s.sed the 600th position, all the cultivators were in the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm. Roan continued to win, but it became a lot more difficult.
After the 300th position, all the Saint Realm Ranking Board opponents were in the Late Stage of the Saint Realm. There was an occasional Middle Stage Saint, but those were rare. Since Roan was still in the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm, it became quite a challenge for him to go up. Surprisingly, he even lost two battles. The fights Roan had with the Late Stage Saints were very difficult, with him getting close to losing near the very end. Well, he was quite satisfied with that anyway. It meant better training for him.
Little did he know how much attention he gathered. After all, he was basically the only Initial Stage Saint there. The closest Initial Stage Saint in the Ranking Board was down in the 634th position. The difference was simply huge! He was quickly recognized as the strongest Initial Stage Saint Realm cultivator of the Sacred Land. People were just waiting to see how he would fare after reaching the Middle Stage.
Talking about reaching the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm, the three months that the twins and Kentucky couldn"t cultivate were finished as well. They finally started to cultivate once again, much to Celis"s happiness back in the Lukimira Sect. Their dantians, as well as Kentucky"s demon core, had finally adapted to their level. Well, they had just started, so it would take a long time before they acc.u.mulated enough energy to break through to the Middle Stage.
As for Kentucky, he spent most of his time digesting the Diamond Golem ore he got from Donkauhk. It"s just that he didn"t use even a hundredth of everything. In the end, the level of Donkauhk"s Diamond Golem ore was too high for him to finish absorbing fast enough.
Another good thing happened after those three months. On this day, Rean had finally finished forging the last piece of Element Gathering Equipment before he gathered the 200 Deep Sea Spiked Clam Pearls.
