After they left the compet.i.tion grounds, they were heading toward Ninth Amentiferous Manias. The journey would take few months if they decided to travel by feet.
They were walking silently until Qiqi got bored with this silence, "How far is the Ninth Amentiferous Manias?" she asked Jen.
"Not near enough," she answered precisely.
Qiqi blinked with this short answer, she thought that if she made some question then this senior sister would speak non stop but what was with this short answer, what else she should ask now? even if she wreaked her brain whole day and was able to ask a question, what would happen if the answer remained precise?
Qiqi took deep breath, and walked along them keeping silence proceed.
Most part of Celestial Sphere was harmless void, and the boundaries of every Manias protect their land from becoming a part of the void.
Traveling in the void was not safe because many rapscallion Cultivator cultivate here without care of the world.
Few people fight over some treasures, and usually bywalkers got implicated in these fights.
So it was better to remain at safe distance, one could only feel safe while walking in a city governed by city Archons.
"Shall we take some rest?" Qiqi requested seeing both were competing for fast travel perhaps.
"We can"t, if we kept taking rest every after an hour then we might take a year to reach Ninth Amentiferous," Jen forgot that there was other source too but even if she remember, she can"t use it because Transfer Blazon was open only for Legends and upper levels.
"Stop complaining like small child," first disciple was tired of her behavior.
"What child? I am traveling this far because of your mistake else I am not that freeloader and tire up of my life," she pointed her finger.
"You were reluctant," first disciple also defended himself.
"So you you think I should have let you go without compensation?" she shook her head as well.
"When did I say something like that?" first disciple was getting furious now.
"You leave me with no choice either," she yelled.
She could answer back this man without worry.
"Stop..." Jen warned them but it was late.
They felt a strong wave of berserk fighting and it seemed some strong enemies were fighting in the void.
Jen spread her dominion around herself, first disciple did the same, Qiqi followed them but the wave was insanely powerful and it swept her along, she was only Sage Monarch and could not endure the strong flood like wave of essence.
"First disciple, hold her back," Jen shouted immediately, if the girl kept flying, she might hit some rock.
First disciple was Legend and his dominion could go that beyond, and hold back the girl, she was struggling by swinging her arms like toddler.
First disciple immediately acted and his dominion held onto and brought back the girl, she was slightly injured and gasping for breath, "You almost suffocate me," she was angry at him again.
"You ask for it," he turned his face.
He was trying to be nice and just and yet this girl keep blaming him for everything, he was at the end of his patience already.
"You both should stop now," Jen was irritated after their non stop head and tail chase, she was trying to understand how they should keep a safe distance from the danger and these were blaming each other.
"First disciple, help her wounds and keep moving, we are leaving without staying here anymore," Jen warned again and they left the place.
During their fast pace, they met Tong Ban and his uncle.
Tong Ban and his uncle intended to use Transfer Blazon which was in the nearest Manias.
"Where are you heading young genius?" his uncle asked Jen who seemed in hurry, and the other girl was slightly wounded, he was concerned what happened to them in this void.
Cultivators can travel long distance but if they wanted to save time they can hire Transfer Blazon, though many strong Cultivators has their own Escort Sentients but they prefer to not use them as travel means because it would look improper, only guardian beasts can fly long journey with ease but to have one in possession was like a dream.
It was fortunate that Crown Sky Thunder Martinet sent guardian beasts for Jen and her fellows to reach the compet.i.tion grounds early.
"We are going Ninth Amentiferous Manias," Jen bowed respectfully.
"Then let"s use the Transfer Blazon, it will be more convenient, your fellow is Legend level so it won"t be difficult during this transfer," the elder gestured toward first disciple.
It was better for them to use quick means else they might end up b.u.mping into problems.
They followed the elder and entered the nearest Manias, and directly headed toward Transfer Blazon.
Elder familiarized first disciple with the process and guided him briefly.
They bade farewell and parted.
Jen has faced this transfer two times, first with her grandfather and second senior w.a.n.g Bo, the worst was the one she transferred with w.a.n.g Bo, she felt puking her inner organs out, this one was much easier compared to them.
But it was all what Jen felt, Qiqi was facing her worst now, first disciple tried best to protect both girls but the difference of Cultivation also matter, Jen was Crown Sage yet Qiqi was only Sage Monarch, how can both be facing same situation then.
Qiqi held onto him strongly and when she felt helpless, she spew out her innards almost making first disciple retch up too.
His chest was smelly all over and he felt strong disgust to help this girl, "Can"t you hold up a little longer?" he almost lost his patience, every second seemed a century to inhale such smell of her stomach out.
"You ask for it," Qiqi wiped her arm clothe on her mouth and spoke, she can"t help to stop it, how she was supposed to stop by the way, the moment her guts welled up she puked mouthful and now she felt satisfy after she saw how this man was dirtied all over, she indeed was happy to return the same words he spoke her before.
"I won"t help you next time no matter what," he spoke and threw away the upper cover clothe as soon as they reached Ninth Amentiferous Manias Central City.
He wrapped another clean clothe and walked to look around the city, Jen was looking at some distance where she spotted a crowd gathering.
Today, the city was bustling with the crowd because the geniuses from all over the Manias were gathered in hope to get selected by the daughter of higher standing.
Annchi came back with her father and met her mother, she was surprised that her facial features match her mother much, her father told her that she will inherit the innate ability of her mother soon so that the family of his elder brother can"t use any means to force them surrender for the position, currently the balance of power and strength was not enough for them because his elder brother has two sons and both were Legends, they also were fortunate to tame an Escort Sentients which was enough to destroy the balance of power between both families.
But it was necessary for his daughter to get married if she wanted to inherit the ability, this was the reason that an announcement was made to gather genius young men so that she could chose one among them.
Jen walked toward the crowd and first disciple followed behind.
"I heard that the daughter of the higher standing is beautiful, she returned after many years, I wanted to win her and become the part of respected Crown family," a young man was talking excitedly when first disciple walked closely and heard him.
"What bulls.h.i.+t you are talking," first disciple knew who was he talking about, he grabbed from his collar and gave a punch.
He was angry that another man was keeping eye on his girl.
Jen turned back to stop only to see the swollen face of a man and he swore who knows how many times at first disciple.
The Crown was impatient and his daughter was reluctantly making faces, they were supposed to appear at the city square at this time.
"Even if he likes you and appear at this very moment, I can"t allow you to marry him, you should know I only want a Legend level son in law, and the man you are talking don"t seemed to me with such strong guts," he crossed his arms and sat on the main seat.
He wanted to show his daughter that he was also reluctant to allow her.
"Now I came to know why you brought me back, you wanted to use your daughter for this so called balance of power," FeiDue** cried.
She was crying that her father don"t care her choice, and he also don"t care her happiness.
