Chapter 1464 - Utari Island
Chapter 1464 – Utari Island
Roan then noticed Rean’s dark expression, saying, “You better not think that it’s our fault that the Flash Beast got released. Those siblings would find a way to reach it with or without our help. Besides, the Flash Beast would come out one day, eventually. There’s nothing that could be done about it.”
Rean sighed and nodded after that. “Sure. I guess I can take comfort in the fact that it was released on a scarce continent. Treavin has several times fewer cultivators and demon beasts, so the damage the Flash Beast can do there is limited compared to Huring or Lanqueas.”
Falangia couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean by Destiny Points?”
Rean shook his head in response, telling her, “It’s nothing. It’s just something related to our home.”
Kentucky continued forward, not intervening with the conversation. And just like that, two days passed in a flash before his voice echoed in everyone’s ears. “We’re nearing the island.”
Immediately, Rean and the others looked in the distance and saw the land rising from the sea. “It gives off the impression that it’s more like a continent than an island.” As they got closer, the bigger the land stretched. Mountains soon entered their eyes as well, being located deep within the island.
“What should I do?” Kentucky asked.
The twins could imagine that flying demon beasts weren’t that common, so they decided to land close to the coast. Following that, they sent Kentucky back into the Dimensional Realm before moving deeper inland.
It wasn’t like this was really the closest island to where the twins’ group first appeared. There were a few smaller ones that could be seen in the jade slip Sharky gave to them. However, this was the closest one that the jade slip mentioned to have humanoid cultivators living on it. “According to the map in the jade slip, there’s a town in this island called Utari. The island is also called by the same name.”
The twins’ group then left the beach and entered the forest. Falangia then took the opportunity to ask, “How far is the city?”
“Not far,” Rean replied. “Thirty or so kilometers in this direction.”
The twins then decided to spread their Divine Sense, which could cover up to eight kilometers. “Oh! There seem to be some cultivators here.”
Their Divine Senses quickly caught three cultivators total in their range. “One is at the Nascent Soul Realm while the other two are in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.”
Roan shook his head. “Just ignore them. We should go to the cit-“
It was then that the twins’ eyes narrowed all of a sudden. It wasn’t because of something they saw in their Divine Senses, but because of what their Divine Sense bending skill caught. A powerful Divine Sense suddenly passed by where they were located. It’s just that because they were quite far away from the source, that specific Divine Sense couldn’t break through the Divine Sense bending skill.
“I don’t even know what realm I should call that. It isn’t as strong as Sally, but it’s definitely above the Void Tempering Realm.” That was the conclusion Rean reached. Roan, of course, agreed with him as he felt the same thing.
However, the problem was that the Divine Sense was quickly approaching their group’s position. Rean couldn’t help but bitterly smile after that. He knew why that was happening. “We couldn’t find him earlier with our Divine Senses because his cultivation is much higher than ours. However, he could obviously feel our Divine Senses without a problem. I didn’t expect that when we finally decide to use our Divine Sense, we would catch such the attention of a high-level cultivator.”
The main problem was that the cultivator coming used his Divine Sense only after the twins did the same. That’s why the twins didn’t detect them straight away. Worse than that was the fact the other side couldn’t find the twins when they used their Divine Sense. Naturally, being able to feel a weaker Divine Sense but not being able to see the other party would catch anyone’s attention.
Rean and Roan nodded and quickly released their Divine Sense bending skill. After all, the other party was already too close for them to flee right now. It was better to see what would happen first. However, Rean also had an idea and quickly shared it with Roan and Falangia. The kids didn’t know what was happening, so it was not necessary to tell them.
Sure enough, a man came down from the skies a few seconds later. He landed in front of the twins’ group and checked them with his Divine Sense once again. However, Rean’s group seemed surprised to see him. “Wh-Who are you?”
The man narrowed his eyes, asking, “Didn’t you know I was coming?”
Ran’s group then used their Divine Sense on the man, which he obviously noticed due to his higher cultivation. Soon after, Rean shook his head. “Sir has such high cultivation. It would be impossible for us to perceive you with our own Divine Sense.”
The man shook his head, telling them, “Forget it. I admit it makes sense that you couldn’t tell I was coming. The two of you.” The man pointed at the twins and asked, “How come I could feel your Divine Senses but couldn’t see you with my own? Only after following the direction that your Divine Senses came from was I able to feel your presence.”
Rean then acted very politely, explaining, “It’s this formation of mine, sir.” Rean then pointed to the ground, and sure enough, there were many runes there. Rean was very good with formations, so he quickly built a very simple Anti-Divine Sense formation there. It was nothing more than a Bronze-level formation, which was a joke in the eyes of an expert.
“Are you kidding me? Such a low-level formation wouldn’t be able to stop my Divine Sense from seeing your group.” The man didn’t believe it at all.
However, Rean just nodded, saying, “Indeed, sir. That’s why when you got close enough, you were able to see through it.”
The man pondered over it for a bit and found it hard to accept that he didn’t break through the formation earlier than he did. However, it didn’t seem the twins’ group was doing anything else, so he could only accept it. “Fine! Anyways, what are you doing here? Didn’t you know we’re in the middle of the test?”
The twins’ group looked at each other before asking, “Test? What test?”
