Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1176: Divine Demon Beasts

A few days later, Venali, Rean, and Shelandra left the Formation Hall. As one could imagine, Venali and Shelandra seemed to have a lot in their minds. At the same time, Venali’s behavior towards Rean had more or less turned over its head. At least, that was the case in formations. “The formations used by the people in your place are quite advanced. Now I believe you really did get teleported such a long distance away. Their applications are simply too broad.”

Rean nodded in response. “I know that, but you guys weren’t that bad either. There were so many more specific runes than what I’ve seen so far. I thought I was already in the Golden Initial level. But after learning what I did today, the Golden Initial level I knew of seems like a joke.”

Shelandra was the one who benefited the most, saying, “I added everything I could to this meeting. But even with that, you two opened my eyes today. I’m heading straight back to my residence to put everything I learned into practice. Do you wanna come as well? I’m sure you also want to put your ideas to the test.”

Venali shook his head in response. “I won’t forget what I saw today, so I can put everything to practice later. Instead, I intend to go out to make a few Merit Points. As a member of the Huring Country, I can’t stay out of the Elemental Transformation Realm rank for long, or the elders will complain about it.”

Rean obviously knew what Venali was talking about as he received the information from Roan through their Soul Connection. “Nevertheless, it’s ten thousand Merit Points to challenge the bottom-ranked members. I guess I won’t see you for quite a few days.”

Venali shrugged his shoulders as he replied, “For others, maybe. But for me, I have special access to better methods. As much as the Huring Country members must go through the test, we’re still part of the Huring Sacred Land’s rule. We get some privileges.”

Shelandra and Rean couldn’t help but complain after hearing that. “That’s quite unfair.”

“Not really,” Venali said in response. “First of all, it’s like Elder Cassia mentioned before. The Realm of Gods isn’t fair to start with. However, these better methods also come with greater difficulties. The reason I have access to them is that I’m one of the top disciples of Huring Country. If it was some average disciple, they wouldn’t be given such tasks as the elders won’t be confident that they could conclude it.”

Rean nodded after hearing that. “It’s fine. In any case, I’m sure I can make my own Merit Points through the side occupations. It’s time for me to head to the Blacksmith Hall.”

Only then did Venali remember after hearing that. “Oh, right! The information did say that you’re also a blacksmith at the same level. You’re the one who made yours and your brother’s weapons, right?”

“Exactly.” Rean nodded as he confirmed. “However, I do believe I can improve their structure with the techniques in the Blacksmith Hall here.”

Shelandra then reminded Rean, “We stayed in that room, sharing information all these days. But didn’t you notice we didn’t get any jade slip with formation techniques until the end?” Rean nodded, waiting for Shelandra to continue. “It’s not that we didn’t want to get some to complement our meeting. Instead, we need to first join the Formation Hall. Venali and I came here to take the test, but we ended up spending all the time with you. We will need to come back later and do the test to see where we stand.”

Rean was surprised to hear that. “So, we can’t simply join the various side occupation halls straight away?”

Venali and Shelandra nodded in response. “That’s exactly it.”

Rean sighed, but he didn’t regret it. He could simply come back here later to take the test. “Well, I guess I’ll have to take the Blacksmith Hall’s test, then.”

Venali then changed direction before saying, “Anyway, I’m off. Rean, let me know if you need anything. As a Huring Country member, we always repay the favors.”

“Favors?” Rean was puzzled by those words. “We exchanged information fair and square. What favors are there to be repaid?”

Both Venali and Shelandra shook their heads before Venali explained, “The things I taught you can be learned on your own once you join the Formation Hall. It’s just that you got a shortcut by hearing it from us. Naturally, it was a lot faster and easier. Still, it isn’t as heavy as your Circuitry Formation Runes. I don’t feel like it was a fair exchange at all. If it stays like this, it will bother me to no end. That will get in the way of my cultivation later on if I let this thought take roots in my mind. After all, I’m not an evil path cultivator. These kinds of things do matter.”

Shelandra agreed with Rean. “The same goes for me. It can also serve as a warning to you. Unless you decide to follow the evil path, these types of karmic relations play a very big role in your state of mind while cultivating. Let me know if I can do something for you.”

Rean couldn’t help but ask Sister Orb in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm after that. ‘Is what they’re saying true, Sister Ob?’

[Hum… that depends a lot on the cultivator. Some might not be from the evil path, but they aren’t exactly honorable either. Nevertheless, the state of mind does play a bigger role the higher your cultivation becomes. Well, I’ve never seen any flaws in your and Roan’s state of mind, so I don’t think it will be a problem for you two.]

Rean had to admit Sister Orb was right. He never felt he did something he shouldn’t unless he didn’t have another choice. Rean then looked back at Venali and Shelandra and told them, “I understand. In that case, just answer a question of mine, and I’ll consider it even.”New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

“What is it?”

Rean then asked after that. “Do you know if the Sacred Land has any Divine Demon Beasts?”
