Chapter 2730  Southwest it is



With that resolved, Rean took out a Spatial Ring from his Dimensional Realm and threw it at the man. "That's all for now. You can have it as payment. I know you said I didn't need to pay, but I insist."


Rean thought of something after giving the Spatial Ring. "Right! Give me a map of this Mirror Sea. I'm sure you should have a quite complete one, right?"


The man quickly nodded and passed a jade slip to Rean.


Rean smiled and then looked at the others right after. "Alright, let's get out. I want to take a look at those excavations."


The man didn't have the time to talk before Rean and Kentucky's group left. He then looked into the spatial ring and took a deep breath. There was more there than he could possibly expect in several years of information trading in this place. 'Hehe, my share will be quite fat.'


Outside, Rean brought everyone up the Island, finding the open tunnels not too long after. Many of them had crumbled a long time ago, while a few still stayed intact. "Let's take a look."


He entered with Kentucky as Sonzei and Fafa followed close behind. Those hundred meters passed in a moment, and they finally reached the point where no one could excavate further. They were in a huge cave now. Yet, the wall in front of them was smooth, while the surroundings were pretty damaged. No doubt whoever opened this tunnel in the past tried everything to dig into the Island but was unsuccessful. Not a scratch could be seen on the wall ahead.


Rean touched it for a moment and tried to feel it. Yet, for him, it felt like nothing more than a simple marble wall. It felt like if he pushed with a little bit of strength, it would immediately break apart with his body's power.


*Peng!*


Yet, before he even tried that, he heard a loud sound on his side. Turns out Kentucky didn't have much patience and returned to his Minokawa form before attacking it with his beak. The ground trembled, and the entire Island seemed to shake for a moment. After all, Kentucky's strength wasn't a joke. "So hard!"


Rean sighed. The only reason the cave they were in hadn't collapsed was because Rean used his Divine Energy to hold everything in place. Well, that was easy, so it wasn't like there was danger anyway. Rean looked at the point Kentucky attacked with his beak. Unfortunately, even Kentucky's attempt left nothing behind. The wall was still smooth as ever. "That doesn't make sense. The material on this wall is very simple, just a type of marble rock, and it isn't even high quality. How can it be this resistant?" Rean commented.


Rean touched the wall again, but this time, he spread his Divine Sense around the entire Island, penetrating the earth and seeing the full shape of the wall in front. "Some kind of pyramid with nine corners? This thing is smooth everywhere, no entrance whatsoever."


Rean pondered a bit and took out his Black Star Sword. Only it could be said to have a higher thrusting power than Kentucky's beak.


'Death Style, Stellar Piercer!'


*Peng!*


Sparks flew everywhere as a blast of Sky Energy swept everything away. Kentucky protected Fafa and Sonzei and he held the cave together this time. Finally, Rean retracted his sword and took a look at the place he had just hit. "Well, seems like forcing our way through is out of the question." Once again, not a single scratch was left behind.


[Rean,] Sister Orb called his attention. [These Islands are not the core of the Natural Formation.]


Rean agreed. 'I know. But as far as we are aware, the core might not be accessible. If it was, we would have heard about it by now. At the moment, these Islands seem to be our only clue to finding the Fragment.'


Rean then had a thought. 'Now that I think about it, only something with similar power as the fragment could possibly resist my attack without suffering any damage. These walls are connected to the Fragment somehow.'


"Rean, the nine islands have something to do with the Mirror Sea, right?" Kentucky asked. "But look at their positions on the map. They are perfectly separated at identical distances from each other. They must be working together somehow, and their positions are probably important to the Natural Formation."


Rean nodded. "That much I already know. What's your idea?" Kentucky knew nothing about formation, so his words left Rean curious.


"Well, if they work together, then there is a link between them," Kentucky continued. "Can't you create something that can cut this connection? We might see some result from it."


Rean pondered a bit and had to admit it was a good idea. "Cut the connections between Islands... Natural Formations can't escape the laws of the world. For them to work, they need Divine Origin Energy or something else. I don't know if this Island is operating on Divine Origin Energy, but I can definitely build a formation around it that can separate pretty much all types of energy and elements of the world from it."


Sonzie raised his hand when he heard that. "Rean. This Island is quite important to our people and the other travelers. Is your idea going to destroy it or something?"


Rean narrowed his eyes. There was a chance it could indeed cause some danger for those inside. "Alright, let's go to another Island then. Sonzei, of the nine islands with this same ring of waters, do you know if any of them is empty?"


Sonzie sighed in relief. He was afraid Rean would rebuke him for intervening with his plan. Most high level cultivators are always arrogant, after all. "Yes, sir- I mean, Rean. The Southwest Island is located on a route that almost no one uses, so although I can't say it is completely empty, there are definitely not many people there. It should be fairly easy to get them to leave too."


Rean was satisfied. "Good, the Southwest Island it is then."
