Chapter 893 - On The Rails
Rean was pretty confident that without the methods shown in the Formations Repository in the Soul Gem System, those people definitely wouldn't be able to replicate it. Also, it would be very hard for them to do that without Rean's knowledge of the modern world. Rean himself knew how hard it was to teach Qia and the others about principles found by modern science, which were things that none of them ever considered to exist. Without those principles, even if the Zasfins had the method to create Circuitry Formations in their hands, it would be too hard to bring it to life.
The meeting was finally over sometime later as Rean finished the details on which cities and where the antennas on Tasman Country's cities would be installed. All in all, the negotiations went well, and both parties would start trading in a month's time.
Back at Freedom Sect, Roan and Zuo were cultivating in a room. Roan had finally gotten a perfectly working version of the Magnetism Cultivation Manual, which Zuo was currently using. With the environment's Spiritual Energy at the Rank Three level, Zuo's cultivation skyrocketed, bringing him to the Late Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm in these past few months.
Of course, Roan didn't leave Zuo only cultivating. Freedom Island had a lot of demon beasts at Stage Four or below. Thanks to that, there was no lack of opponents for Roan to put up against Zuo. He also made sure to train the boy in combat properly. That being said, Zuo could already fight Initial Stage Two Demon Beasts with his traits.
At first, the boy trembled more than battled, and Roan had to save him a few times. Naturally, injuries were constant as well. Though, Roan didn't care that much. With Rean's Instant Recovery skill, Zuo most likely could be healed as long as he didn't die. It was during this time that Zuo also understood why Roan was called the Demon King in the sect. In fact, Zuo's training schedule was a lot harder than most. After all, he had Roan's total attention, while the rest of the disciples simply received a standard training routine. Well, even the standard one was hellish, making even Julia feel sorry for the boys, let alone the girls.
Nonetheless, everyone who joined the sect understood that they all worked. It wasn't an oppressive environment where dogs ate dogs like most of the places outside. The sect was very united, obviously because of the same experience they had back in the Soul Rulers' time. As for the new disciples, they were quickly brought close to the sect's disciples. Even the difference in talent between the old and new didn't stop the senior disciples from becoming close with the new ones.
For that, Rean couldn't help but mention one time. "Where will you find a sect in the cultivation world where almost, if not all of them are so loyal? None of them wants to leave this place, and that's the kind of environment I like."
Meanwhile, the communication system finally started taking its next steps, expanding outside Fausec Country. The sect had obtained more Formation Masters from outside, thanks to its influence. As a result, that increased the speed at which the antennas were produced.
That wasn't all. Srevil's group had finally finished developing the new Minuscule Rune Carvers. That meant Rean's Nokias could now be mass-produced. One didn't need to be a Heaven-level Formation Master to build them anymore. Of course, when it came to the development of new models, Heaven-level Formation Masters were still necessary.
Nine months after the war was over, Freedom City began to take shape. Just like the Demon Beast Cities in the Demon Beast Continent, Freedom City also began to have all races walking on its streets. Obviously, it meant that Zasfins and demon beasts could be found there. It's just that their numbers were extremely small compared to humans.
Nonetheless, Freedom City's City Lord, the one who was also part of the Freedom Sect, did a very good job. He made sure that the humans would not attack the Zasfin merchants that came from the cities of Palif Empire's Tasman Country. In fact, those merchants loved to come to Freedom City since the Spiritual Energy concentration here was really high. Some even found ways of permanently staying while continuing to trade with the humans.
During this time, a few cultivation breakthroughs happened within Rean's group. Malaka and Qia had reached the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Agis was the same thing. However, the one furthest ahead was still Calina, who always had a cultivation level higher than the others. With Roan's Heaven Initial-level Cross-Realm Pill, she finally entered the Nascent Soul Realm. One must remember that before Rean and Roan separated from Calina, her cultivation was higher than theirs. So it was normal for her to be the first among the others to get to that realm.
Rean and Roan didn't stay behind either. Celis, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky had a cultivation connection where they could pull each other, keeping their cultivation level on par. Celis already had an insanely high rate of Spiritual Energy absorption due to his race, the World Swallowing Cedar. Rean and Roan's last two Spiritual Energy Absorption upgrades only made that become even faster. Last but not least, Kentucky also obtained the same upgrade as them.
Because of that, all four of them advanced into the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm or the Late Stage Five Demon Beast level. Rean, Roan, and Kentucky weren't even in their forties yet, so one could imagine how surprised the other experts of the sect felt when they heard about it. They all understood that these twins and the Divine Demon Bird would be the real supporting pillars of the sect in the future together with Celis. After all, not only were their cultivations high, their combat strength was several stages higher than their own as well.
However, the biggest news on the ninth month wasn't any of that. Instead, it was the birth of Malaka and Agis's kid.. Surprisingly, this was the first kid to have ever been born in the Freedom Sect.
