3020 Water
*Arrrghhh...*
Suddenly, the sound of screams came from behind, causing Rean to shake his head in disapproval. "Seems like they didn"t hear about me yet."
The Dark Element in the Trantudas wasn"t very thick. That means the Trantudas didn"t suffer much damage and were able to get rid of it quite fast. Those following Rean, thinking about ambushing him, saw the Trantudas down and took the chance to pa.s.s through the same path.
However, the Trantudas recovered, and they immediately attacked the new targets. Because of that, they were surrounded, and even Rean couldn"t tell if anyone would survive or not.
Rean checked his map once again and could feel the Spiritual Energy concentration increasing even more. Three hours later, and after several demon beasts and cultivators dealt with, Rean arrived at the Cleansing Pond. "Oh! This thing is quite big." He could have arrived much, much earlier. But he wasn"t in a hurry, so he only got here now.
The Pond had several kilometers of extension, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy and the Pond illuminated the surroundings, making everything very bright. Rean could already see quite a few cultivators soaking themselves inside the pond, using its cleansing properties.
Inside the pond, near the borders, you could find lower-level cultivators and people in the Foundation Establishment Realm of several stages. The more to the center you got, the higher their cultivation increased. Core Formation experts were a few hundred meters in. Core and Soul Fusion could mostly be found at one kilometer range. Finally, at the very center, you could see the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. The division of power was very clear to everyone.
Rean shrugged and flew to the center. He didn"t intend to use the pond anyway. However, the entrance to the caves under the pond was at the center as well, so he had to enter through there.
*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*
Yet, before Rean could get closer, seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators flew out of the water and blocked his path. "Where do you think you are going? The center of the pond is exclusively for the Nascent Soul Realm experts."
Rean looked behind them, and could see a few Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts there too. "Then what about those back there?"
One of the snorted. "They are with us, so that"s about it."
Rean nodded. It was pretty obvious that they were targeting him not exactly because of his cultivation but because of his ident.i.ty. "I see. Well, I couldn"t care less, so I"ll be entering. I recommend that you don"t get in the way. Trust me, it will be very dangerous."
Rean flew forward, completely ignoring the threats from those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. As one can imagine, they didn"t like it and immediately decided to attack.
"STOP!"
Yet, another group just arrived in time to prevent that from happening. Rean recognized one of the cultivators. He was there when he got rid of the first guys who attacked him near the entrance of the Spiritual Canyon.
"Rosbeval, why are you intervening?" One of the guys asked.
Rosbeval shook his head. "Don"t get me wrong. We also wanted to deal with him, just like you. However, he is just too strong. I"m telling you it for your own good. Do not block his path. Your sect is on good terms with ours, so I had to warn you, Kalan."
"Hahaha!" Kalan laughed out loud, checking Rean"s Late Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivation. "You guys lost to this? Sure, he has impressive Sword Skills, but what meaning is there in front of ultimate strength?"
Kalan got his spear out, feeling curious. "However, since you mentioned it, I"m very interested to see what he can do. Everyone, attack!" They also received orders from their own elders to get rid of Rean if they got a chance. Now that Rean was forcing his way through, how could they lose that chance? If anything, they had to do it now before more groups arrived and stole their prey.
Seeing that, Rosbeval sighed and shook his head. His friends, who were also there when Rean acted the first time, could only feel pity for Kalan and the others.
As for Rean... "That"s very convenient. There are quite a few cultivators around, so they will all witness what will happen. Hopefully, this will be enough to prevent the rest from bothering me anymore."
Rean went a step further this time, activating his Level Four Sword Intent, Sword Aura!
"Life Style, Enhancement!"
"Death Style, Shadow Air!"
Everyone who still didn"t know about Rean"s strength expected a good show. Yet, when Rean was finished, all that remained was fear!
Rean still didn"t kill anyone, but he did worse than he did with the first ones who attacked him. He pierced and destroyed every single Dantian of that group of seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. It wasn"t a battle; it was a one-sided slaughter. Rean could even fight Saint Realm experts now, let alone some bunch of Nascent Soul Realm kids.
Even though Rean didn"t kill anyone, their fate could have been considered worse than that. Losing all their cultivation in a moment and living to understand what just happened. They could start to cultivate from zero again, but their years of effort were just gone. Not to mention, the powers they came from would definitely discard them since they would be too old to start cultivation again.
What Rean accomplished served as a much stronger warning than killing, that"s for sure.
Rean then put his White Star back in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm while smiled at the spectators. "Don"t be afraid, everyone. I"m a very friendly person. Look, I didn"t kill anyone. As long as you don"t try to actively cause trouble for me, I absolutely won"t go out of my way to cause trouble for you, either. Better than that, anyone who wants to be friends, by all means, I"m open for it."
Rean then moved to the center of the pond, and the cultivators there all opened the path for him. None of them dared blocking Rean anymore.
Rean didn"t mind their scared faces and entered the pond. However, as soon as he touched it, he noticed something. "Hum...? This water..."
In the next second, he contacted Roan. "Hey, take a look at this." Finally, he sent a little of the water into the dimensional realm, which Roan took out back in the Gondel Clan.
"Oh!" Even Roan felt a little surprised. "Not bad, not bad. Sister Orb, open a pond in the Dimensional Realm. We will fill it with this water."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
