Chapter 1932 The Name
'No one knows,' Jeskli-go shrugged his shoulders as he answered.
Yet, Kentucky found the pause weird. 'You're lying to me, right? For a moment there, your expression was of someone who seemed to know something. What are you hiding from me?'
Jeskli-go shook his head in response. 'I'm not lying. No one knows where they are at the moment. However, I do know something. I can guarantee that they're both alive at the moment.'
'How?' Kentucky immediately asked.
Jeskli-go simply smiled, telling him, 'If you go to our ancestral land, you'll find that the Minokawas that cultivate there create a connection with that place. There's a reason for our cultivations to be that good, you know? What I can tell is that your father and mother's connection to it hasn't disappeared.'
It was then that Jeskli-go remembered something. 'Right! In the end, where did your parents take you to?'
Kentucky narrowed his eyes for a moment but decided to answer. Let's not forget that the demon beasts got Erithean to talk, so this Minokawa could definitely get the same information. 'The Mortal Realm.'
'The Mortal Realm?!' Jeskli-go was truly surprised when he heard that. 'With their cultivation? They're crazy! Hahahaha! But then again, they were trying to help you, so I guess it makes sense. Only in the Mortal Realm would you mature without anyone hunting you.'
'Can't I use this connection with the ancestral land to find my parents?' Kentucky ignored Jeskli-go's comments and asked.
Unfortunately, Jeskli-go squashed his dreams before they could even bud. 'Nope. Think of it as the Soul Flames used by the humanoid races. They can find out if their owners died, but they can't tell where that cultivator is located. It's basically the same thing.'
Kentucky would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed. 'Isn't there anything at all? Any clue?'
Jeskli-go pondered over it for a bit before saying, 'They went to the Mortal Realm to leave you there, right? Neither of them had the cultivation to do such a thing. Even someone like me would have to pay a high price to do such a thing. If I'm not wrong, they probably got lost in the spatial storms once they tried to come back.'
'What spatial storms? The same one I saw when Placake brought us to this place?' Kentucky obviously remembered that part.
Jeskli-go confirmed Kentucky's words, nodding. 'The one and the same. It's just that the spatial storms between the Realm of Gods and the Mortal Realm would be much stronger. Seriously, how did they even survive that? Oh well. Luck is also part of one's strength.'
Kentucky could only sigh after that. 'That doesn't help much... they might have reappeared pretty much anywhere. Even the Underworld and Heaven are not out of the realm of possibility.'
'True.' Jeskli-go agreed with Kentucky on that point. 'You can't even tell whether they're together or not. Perhaps they held onto each other, perhaps not. There's one thing that is pretty much certain, though. I highly doubt they escaped unscathed. Who knows? Lost cultivation, cracked Demon Core, anything is possible.'F
'I would rather not think about that,' Kentucky answered.
Jeskli-go decided to give Kentucky a piece of advice. 'If I were you, I would keep hiding the fact that you're a Regal Minokawa. Sure, the demon beasts would try to protect you, but a Minokawa is still a Minokawa. Minokawas don't like to be held in one place and be forced to train, which the demon beasts would definitely demand you to do.'
Kentucky immediately thought about Roan after that. 'I already have to do that, I guess...' But then again, he at least had the option of freedom while he stayed with the twins.
Suddenly, Jeskli-go plucked out a feather from his body and passed it to Kentucky. 'Hide it. It might be of some help in the future.'
Kentucky remembered how his father's feather was capable of so many things. This guy's cultivation was supposed to be even higher, so it should be even more powerful. 'What can I use it for? Does it have some life-saving features? Or could it be you also put a sliver of your soul and Divine Sense inside?'
'What? Me? Using my soul on a feather? Dream on! There's no way I would do that. It just has some of my blood in the quill, that's all,' Jeskli-go explained.
Yet, that was exactly what Kentucky's father did with his feather. He was able to use it to start unsealing his bloodline. It's just that he didn't know if an unrelated Minokawa's blood could be used for the same thing. First of all, the idea was to have Kentucky unlock his sealed blood with his cultivation to keep it hidden. 'Then, what do I use this feather for?'
'That'll be a surprise. When the right moment comes, it should give you some help.' Yet, Jeskli-go refused to explain. 'Of course, you can just ignore what I said and throw it away. Who knows? Maybe I'm planning to use it to track you when you're out of the Dragon Race's territory. Hahaha!'
'It's impressive that you could say that straight to my face.' Kentucky found Jeskli-go quite bold. 'Well, forget it. I won't doubt you. I'll keep it with me for the time being.'
'Oh! Do you trust me that much?' Jeskli-go asked in response.
'I trust your laziness,' Kentucky answered. In the end, he didn't think Jeskli-go would try anything with him as the affairs regarding Regal Minokawas involved too many problems. Jeskli-go had already shown how unwilling to do anything he was even before finding out about Kentucky, after all.
Jeskli-go nodded in satisfaction. 'That is something you can always count on.' He was proud of that.
With that, Jeskli-go stopped using Divine Sense. "Alright, you know everything you need to about your Minokawa Race. If one day you decide to come, just ask the Dragon Race to bring you there."
Kentucky nodded in response. "Don't worry. I will definitely go there one day. By the way, what's the name of the ancestral land?"
"Oh! It's called the Floating Islands of Time."
