Chapter 981 - What Next?
That question took even Roan aback. Sure, they had been hiding things from others to prevent troubles from arising. However, this was the Realm of Gods, and they've already convinced Cynthia and the others that their part of the Realm of Gods was very different from here. In the end, they were just plain old oddities.
Celis continued, "You're afraid of the cultivators here becoming envious of our cultivation speed. You're afraid that they might try something against us because they want to be able to do the same, right? However, I say your concern is unfounded. After all, we may be cultivating faster... but we're just too weak! In the end, that's all about it. We won't really catch the eyes of those who really matter, like the Transition Realm cultivators. As for the Lukimira Sect, they need us. With that being said, the stronger we are, the better it is for them."
Roan pondered over Celis's words and had to admit they made sense.
Kentucky also agreed with Celis, saying, "Celis said everything in my mind. We're just too weak for concern. In fact, it's exactly because we're too weak that we should use this chance to break through straight away. Let's not waste the rest of the Divine Energy left in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's core."
Rean sighed in the end after hearing the reasoning of the two. "Roan, I believe Celis has a point. Besides, it's not like you to run away from problems."
Eventually, Roan accepted. "Very well, let's go for the final push and breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. That'll also help us with the next part of the plan."
"Next part of the plan?" Kentucky asked with a puzzled expression.
Roan nodded before explaining, "Celis's ability to gather Divine Energy from the region around into a single spot. We need to gain one of the Divine Veins so that the sect and everyone else will think this is a side-effect of the Divine Vein itself. That will be the perfect cover."
Rean couldn't help but ask after that, "Then, what about the time we leave the sect with Celis? Wouldn't it show that Celis was the one actually responsible for it?"
Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "When that time comes, we will be leaving the sect, so who cares? Besides, this is the Realm of Gods. Who said that Celis is the only one capable of doing such a thing? He isn't the only World Swallowing Cedar, after all. Not to mention that there are probably other races of demon trees that can do something similar."
Celis nodded as he urged them to continue cultivating. "That's true. Alright! Let's stop wasting time and breakthrough."
The four of them immediately began to absorb the rest of the Divine Energy in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, aiming to breakthrough.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom...*
As always, a burst of Divine Energy came out of their bodies not too long after. With that, their cultivation began to rise, quickly reaching the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. The breakthroughs were very easy and fast. In any case, now that the twins had already found their path, the rest only depended on the Dark and Light Cultivation manuals. One must remember that they were perfect, so bottlenecks didn't really exist for the twins.
As for Celis and Kentucky, Celis had his experience as a previous Stage Nine Demon Tree, so he could simply charge through the ranks as long as he had energy. Kentucky was a Minokawa, a Divine Demon Beast, so his bloodline alone made it easy for him.
Their group then absorbed the rest of the Divine Stream Lake's energy, sucking the Dimensional Realm's core dry of all the energy it absorbed. "Phew...I've never thought we would break through almost an entire realm of cultivation in such little time," Rean could not help but say.
"It makes one wonder if we can find more of those Divine Stream Lakes. They surely would give us a boost." Celis also had his piece of wondering hope.
Roan shook his head in response as he told them, "If there was a way to find them, the people of Yukirrom Region would have figured it out a long time ago. In short, let's forget about it." Roan then looked at Rean, telling him, "Come here. Let's buy some upgrades."
Rean immediately nodded as they touched the Soul Gem Orb and accessed the reward list.

Rean immediately had an idea, telling Roan, "Let me buy the next level of the Electrical Formations Repository. It's only 3000 points and is the only side-occupation at level two at the moment."
Roan didn't mind. After all, Rean's upgrades usually turned out as an increase in profits. "Sure, go for it."
[Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository Upgrade Level 3 - 3000 Destiny Points]
[Confirm Purchase?]
"Yes!"
[Destiny Points: 45728]
[Initializing Upgrade...]
Immediately, the Soul Gem Electrical Formations Repository was enveloped by a silver barrier, just like always. As the twins waited, they began to think about the next upgrade.
"So, what should we go for next?"
