Chapter 1493: Very Beautiful
Rean then patted Luan"s head after that, asking him, "Hmm... don"t you think you have a bad taste for dads?"
Luan didn"t agree, responding, "Dad is scary, but he"s good too."
"Well, suit yourself," Rean answered.
Rafatia couldn"t help but ask, "Since Luan can call Roan dad, can I call big brother Rean dad too?"
"This..." Rean wasn"t Roan. He did feel like it would add a lot of weight if he said yes. "Better not, okay?" He didn"t want to foster any wrong ideas, especially since he would be leaving the two girls when they got closer to the center of the continent.
Rafatia"s expression grew sad, and so did Falangia. Nevertheless, Falangia understood their situation. Not to mention the difference between them and Luan. Roan took Luan as a disciple and would bring him up in the future. Rean obviously wasn"t going to do the same thing with Rafatia or herself. "Don"t bother big brother Rean anymore, okay? He"s already helping us a lot."
Rean nodded at Falangia, satisfied that she understood. "Well then, let"s leave this topic aside for now. Roan, I"m ready to leave anytime. How about you and the rest?"
Roan obviously had no issues. "I already got all the information I wanted. We can leave straight away... after eating something." Sure enough, he started to get used to meals due to the rest of the people in their group.
In the end, they decided to leave the next day. Rean then paid the inn after that, and they soon left the city. Following that, they brought Kentucky out and jumped on his back. "Kentucky, we are going to the Glacial Corals region."
"Sure. I"m also curious to see if Havek is really the one we"re thinking or not." Kentucky then shot through the skies, disappearing in the distance.
Salt Canyon Undersea City was a month away, while the Glacial Corals region was three. Nevertheless, the twins" group decided to at least pa.s.s by it. Along the way, they found a few demon beasts who tried to attack them out of the water. Fortunately, none of them were the twins" or Kentucky"s match. Well, not a single Void Tempering Realm appeared, so it made sense.
During this month, everyone except Kentucky cultivated. Things didn"t change much for Rean and Roan since they would need at least another two years and a half for the next breakthrough. However, the story was different in Rafatia, Luan, and Falangia.
Falangia had finally achieved the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Well, with the cultivation technique Roan got for her and the Divine Stones, that went without saying.
In Rafatia"s case, she got to the Peak Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Last but not least, Luan succeeded in his breakthrough into the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Following that, Roan decided to test his strength, so he had Falangia fight Luan. Although Roan was helping Falangia with her cultivation, his main focus was still Luan. He wanted to see if Luan could at least fight Falangia on equal terms.
It turns out that it didn"t happen. Luan still lost to Falangia after quite a heated battle. However, Roan could tell why. Falangia was also a seasoned cultivator who had killed and battled many times to survive. The good thing was that when one took out Falangia"s experience, Luan was basically as strong as her even though he was two stages below.
Roan was happy with the outcome, showing that Luan could indeed jump a few stages to fight. Once he grew a little more and got more experience, Falangia wouldn"t be able to win anymore. Though there was one thing Roan decided to do, and he would do it in Salt Canyon City. He would make Luan cultivate the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique.
And so, the day they arrived in Salt Canyon Undersea City had eventually arrived.
In the air, Rean and Roan could see many aquatic demon beasts traveling below. They weren"t the only ones, though. There were also a few cultivators from different humanoid races. "Sure enough, undersea cities are just like the cities in the islands. They"re neutral territories where fighting is prohibited."
Rean was right. Just like Utari City, the Salt Canyon Undersea City had many guards keeping the situation under control. There were quite a few Transition Realm aquatic demon beasts who controlled a lot of low-level demon beasts from their races. One must remember that only at the Transition Realm would a demon beast gain intelligence, so this method where the Transition Realm ones controlled the weaker aquatic demon beasts was very common in all undersea cities. That way, they could have a very big fighting force while the upkeep would be low.
"Kentucky, the city is under us. Dive into the water."
Kentucky nodded after that. "Sure!"
With that, Kentucky down shot down from the skies. At the same time, Rean covered Rafatia with his Divine Energy so that she wouldn"t have problems breathing underwater. As for Luan...
"Now that you"re in the Core Formation Realm, you should be able to use Divine Energy to replace air. Unless necessary, we won"t help you with it," Roan said. Falangia could do it on her own, so Luan definitely could as well.
"Yes, dad!" Luan obviously accepted it.
*Splash!*
Kentucky hit the water but didn"t stop. He went straight down like an arrow as he wanted to see what an Undersea City looked like.
It didn"t take long for that, though. First of all, most undersea cities weren"t too deep. That"s because the deeper one went, the higher the pressure got. If the cities were too deep, most demon beasts and especially cultivators wouldn"t be able to enter them.
Soon, blue light began to shine from below as the shape of buildings began to enter the twins" group eyes. Everyone was quite impressed by it because the city only got bigger and bigger. Their architecture was also completely different from the surface, giving it the feel of some ancient ruins that were taken by the water.
Falangia couldn"t help but mutter after seeing that.. "Very beautiful."
