Chapter 1709 Now It Makes Sense



Chapter 1709 Now It Makes Sense

[He isn’t wrong,] Sister Orb told the twins. [The reason you guys can have people at your level or higher in the Dimensional Realm is that the system uses those 20000 Destiny Points to achieve it. If not for that, the Dimensional Realm might really break because it is linked to your own cultivation.]

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. They had already thought about that possibility in the past. It turns out this restriction was what saved them from more suspicion.

“Is that so…?” Sam didn’t know much about Dimensional Realms since he didn’t have one. “As always, good things don’t come easy… sigh.”

Kentucky was starting to get bored already at this point. “Alright, are we done here? I wanna go explore the area.”

Celis glanced at him and replied, “They still haven’t told why exactly were we called here in the first place. The topic suddenly changed to the Dimensional Realm thing.”

“Right!” Philip finally remembered why he came to meet them. “The reason I came here is to explain to you a few things and also make an offer.”

Rean nodded in response, saying, “We told Libraia that we wouldn’t stay in Jhiod Sect for long, so it wouldn’t make much sense for us to join your Yume Clan. However, she mentioned that it wasn’t a problem and that joining your Yume Clan would be worth it for the exact same reason. It’s just that she didn’t tell us why that is. Is that what you’re talking about?”

“Yes, that’s the reason she sent you. Although I didn’t think I would really make this offer until I saw your fight in the arena. Even without your sword intent, you still held your ground there,” Philip said in response. “You’re clearly at the same level as the top geniuses of our Jhiod Sect.”

Roan then asked, “But did she tell you that our intention is to head to the Center of the Realm of Gods? Would whatever you have to say be linked to it?”

“It is,” Philip confirmed with a nod. “First, let’s correct a small issue with your strength measurement. At the moment, you would say that you’re strong enough to fight average Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm opponents if you go all out. Am I correct to assume that?”

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis nodded in response. Kentucky and Celis were slightly weaker than the twins, but just a little. Celis and Kentucky could definitely hold their ground against Lin, just like Rean did. It was all thanks to their connection, especially for Celis. After he was forced back to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had to opportunity to fix everything he did wrong during his ascension to the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. On top of that, he was also a high-ranked Divine Demon Beast…or Tree. So, he was already stronger than average ones to start with. As for Kentucky, he was helped by the twins and the system even before he awakened sentience. Last but not least, Kentucky and Celis’s pact aided them as well.

“Starting from now on, you should forget about the average cultivators,” Philip told them. “For the world that you’re about to step in, average cultivators, demon beasts, spirits, and plants won’t have a reason to be in front of you.”

Philip continued, “From now on, your strength is what you should consider the average. No, to be more specific, your actual strength, already counting the weapon intents, is just two stages higher than average ones.”

Those words naturally caught their attention. Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis could jump so many stages to fight. How could that strength be considered the average now? “Would you mind explaining?”

Philip nodded, explaining, “That’s because you lived in this forsaken part of the Realm of Gods. The ‘average’ here is indeed what you’ve seen so far. However, when we talk about the center of the Realm of Gods, then our average can’t even be considered trash there. In fact, saying that they’re trash is already highly overestimating the average beings of our region. You might as well say that whether they exist or not makes no difference for the beings at the center of the Realm of Gods.”

Roan finally understood after that. “Due to the resources, cultivation techniques, and other things, the average strength of the beings in the center of the Realm of Gods is something around the Middle Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. The same goes for your top geniuses.”

“That’s correct,” Philip confirmed Roan’s words. “That’s because, in the Center of the Realm of Gods, they even have access to immortal cultivation techniques. Demon beasts also have access to resources that can increase their strength many times over. The lives of those living there and those living here are just that different.”

Rean took a deep breath after that. “After all we did, we’re just two stages higher in overall strength than average beings in that place. How can that be…”

Philip narrowed his eyes as he told them, “You don’t seem surprised by the mention of immortal cultivation techniques.”

“We aren’t,” Rean replied. “With your Jhiod Sect’s information network, I believe you guys heard about the event that happened in the Lost Star Realm back in Lanqueas Continent.”

Sam, Govin, and Philip were taken aback to hear that. “Oh! We did get information about what happened there. Quite a few immortal cultivation techniques were taken out after the incident.”

Philip looked at the twins after that and understood. “So you were there when it happened.”

Rean nodded, saying, “Indeed. Thanks to that, we also got our hands on some of those techniques. That’s why we know about them since we saw them distributed with our own eyes.”

“Now that makes sense.” Philip could accept that explanation.

“Aren’t you going to ask for them?” Roan asked back.

Philip snorted in response. “Hmph! Those were just some low-level immortal cultivation techniques. We have investigated them already. None of them can spark our Jhiod Sect’s interest.”

Roan was surprised to hear that. “I see… no wonder you say your top geniuses can match our group. They also have access to immortal cultivation techniques. Now it makes sense.”
