Chapter 1330 – After Effects
Roan then asked something else. 'Even if we use a save point?'
It had been a long time since the twins placed a save point somewhere. After all, placing one cost Destiny Points. Then again, if it could be used, then it would be worth it as a safety precaution.
However, Sister Orb crushed their hopes as she replied. [Even if you leave a save point outside, the fact is that you will use the Circuitry Teleport Formation to get to it. The barrier will still stop you either way.]
Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking something else. 'What about our Soul Connection Range? As you know, I can enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm at one location and leave it in another area as long as Roan is there. This kind of movement doesn't need the Circuitry Teleport Formation.'
[Oh, that would work, yes. However, you must remember that you can't be more than 10000 kilometers away from each other. If you do, all you will be able to do is talk to me. All the other system's perks won't be accessible. Obviously, neither of you will be able to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm through that.]
Indeed, just like what Sister Orb said, the problem was exactly that. 10000 kilometers was simply nothing compared to the Lost Star Realm's vastness. The twins' group traveled at least a hundred times further than that during the last nine and a half months. There's no doubt that the depths would go over 10000 kilometers. Perhaps even a million or a billion kilometers wouldn't be farfetched. 'That wouldn't be very useful…'
Roan then looked at Hurio's group before asking, "Is everyone really going to just stay here and do nothing as long as the top ten don't move?"
Lamanto nodded in response. "No wants to be the guinea pig to test the waters, after all."
Hearing that, Roan lost his patience before turning around and jumping back on Kentucky. "Let's go. We don't have that much time."
Rean agreed with Roan and jumped on Kentucky's back as well. "Now then, Hurio. Since you're staying with your family, let us part ways here. We don't want to wait here forever, so we're going ahead."
Everyone was taken aback as they looked at Kentucky taking flight. Soon after, Kentucky turned in the direction of the barrier and flew straight at it. It was obvious that the twins didn't care about the barrier. As for the Croste Clan, Rean and Roan were using a different appearance, so they obviously wouldn't recognize them. However, just as they were about to traverse across, a flash of light moved in their direction and stopped right in front of their group. "Where do you think you're going?"
Rean and Roan recognized the badge on the guy's clothes. Hurio had told them about each of the top ten powers' distinct features, after all. Surprisingly, it was a middle-aged man from the Forse Guild. "Errr… traverse the barrier to explore the depths?"
The man narrowed his eyes before saying, "No can do. Go back and wait until we decide to enter as well."
Rean and Roan were confused. Why would he try to stop them? "You don't make any sense. We can simply head back and enter the barrier from another point, you know? What's the point in stopping us here?"
The man snorted when he heard that. "Seems like you haven't tried to traverse the barrier before. This valley between these two specific mountains is the only place where you can do that. The barrier will repel you if you try to traverse it in any other place. Believe me, we tried."
The twins were taken aback to heart. They then looked at Hurio's group far in the back and saw the elder nodding at them, confirming that it was true. Of course, they were still confused. "So, why would you stop us anyway? We can see a few people on the other side who aren't moving forward."
The man snorted once more when he heard that. "That's because they were there already when we arrived and are too afraid to continue forward."
Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes in response. Nevertheless, they could see that the other members from the other ten powers were looking at them with dark expressions. Between them, there were many Elemental Transformation and quite a few Transition Realm cultivators. At least one of them in each group was beyond that level, at the Void Tempering Realm.
Rean then smiled at the middle-aged man ahead of them, dispelling the tense atmosphere as he said, "Sorry, my friend. We are vagrant cultivators, so we didn't know such a rule existed. We will obviously wait with everyone else behind."
The man's expression eased a bit after that. "That's for your own good."
However, before he left, Rean took the opportunity to ask, "Sir, would you mind telling us what's happening here? We're here just for the normal things like Divine Origin Energy, medicines, and treasures."
The middle-aged man snorted yet one more time in response. "Hmph! Just focus on that, and you'll be fine. Now, go back." The man didn't wait for Rean and Roan to respond before returning to his group.
The twins could only sigh and move back, as said by the elder. Of course, they couldn't use Light and Divine Sense bending as the ten big powers were too packed at the entrance between the mountains. The twins would be way too close, making it impossible to bend their Divine Senses. Besides, the twins still weren't that sure whether the Void Tempering Cultivators there could feel their presence through their spatial detection abilities.
Rean then looked at the guys before saying, "You could have told us they weren't letting anyone inside."
Lilia shrugged her shoulders after hearing that. "No one knew they would do that, so how could we know? We told you before, no one wanted to move ahead after the top ten powers gathered here."
Rean then took the chance to ask, "By the way, Hurio didn't want to say anything. But now that we're here, what do you need Fallen Light Star Fragments for?"
Lamanto shook his head in response. "That's not something for you to know."
Well, Rean already expected that. "I see… we'll wait for the time those guys move inside somewhere else then. No point in bothering you anymore."
However, Hurio immediately grabbed Rean's arm and murmured in his ears. "Ahem… would you mind healing me first? My sister was quite brutal a moment ago.." Unsurprisingly, poor Hurio was still suffering the after-effects.
