Death… And Me

Chapter 4081: The Reason

Regardless of the reason, that was still a Legendary Level Formation. The system’s processing power was much bigger, and the twins’ cultivation also affected it. However, it would take her at least a few days of full focus to open a passage. She was lucky, though. The formation was only a Medium-Level Legendary. Were it a high legend, they’d better be ready to spend a few months.

One might wonder, why is it only a Middle Level? The reason was cultivation, as always. Each cultivation realm was usually enough to improve one stage of a side occupation. The Celestial Realm could only work with Low-Level Legendary formations. Middle Level was the limit, and that required a lot of resources and time.

Sister Orb returned to the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, and from there she worked with Hick while the rest of their group kept checking the things outside. Roan warned them about the reward issue, and he definitely didn’t want to be taken with his guard down.

Nothing happened, though.

[Got it!]

Sister Orb’s voice echoed.

Everyone looked at the area that Hick was hiding, and sure enough, a passage began to open. Nothing big, just a few meters wide. Nonetheless, Hick moved. "Let’s go!"

Rean covered them all with his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill, just to be careful. Right after, they all crossed the formation, and Sister Orb let it go, causing the formation to close again. Hick’s face returned to normal, smiling at the result. "I knew I could count on you guys!"

Roan wasn’t interested in his compliments. "So, what else is there? More formations?"

Hick shook his head. "No. It should be a straight line to my body now. No one was supposed to be able to pass through that formation anyway. Of course, I can’t guarantee there isn’t anything else. There are still the sensorial formations Sister Orb mentioned, for example. It’s just that they won’t detect us, as this crossing looked to have never happened in the formations’ eyes."

"Everyone, stay close," Rean asked. "It is better if we stay concealed with my skill anyway. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as too cautio-"

"Shut up!" Suddenly, Roan stopped Rean.

Rean knew Roan wasn’t complaining about him talking too much. It was something else. Everyone looked in the same direction Roan did. He was looking back at the formation they had just crossed. No, to be more specific, he was looking at the other side.

Only then did everyone notice. A Spatial Gate had just opened. They weren’t the only ones there.

From the Spatial Gate, Gin and his subordinates came out. Salazar, a Celestial in the Middle Stage, had Pala’s throat in his hand. Of course, due to the Celestial Suppressor he was using, his cultivation looked like a Divinity Peak Stage. It’s just that it was more than enough to hold someone like Pala.

"What is this place..." Gin couldn’t help but comment, seeing the formation ahead. He could tell: that wasn’t just a simple formation. He used Pala to come here, so it was the same purple token. Gin looked at Pala. "Didn’t you say they were here? Where are they?"

Pala struggled to speak. "T-That’s where I le-left them, sir!"

Gin narrowed his eyes. Celestial Energy came down from the Celestial Plane, and he spread his Divine Sense. At the moment, his cultivation was suppressed to the Divinity Peak Stage, but he was acting like a Semi-Celestial. The amount of Celestial Energy he was using wasn’t even 10% of what he could usually use, though. Semi-Celestials are, after all, Divinities.

Of course, Gin had no worry of forgetting his normal comprehension of laws. He easily covered the entire extent of that formation with his Divine Sense, all the light years of distance, but he couldn’t find anything.

"Could it be they crossed the formation?" Jary, another Celestial, but one in the Late Stage, asked.

Gin brought three Celestials with him: Salazar, Jary, and Suvana, all under his own direct control.

Gin turned to Pala, his Celestial Energy grabbed the man, pulling him close. "Are you sure?"

Pala insisted. "Y-Yes! I left them here, really! However, as-as I mentioned before, they had the access token. They could leave any time they wa-wanted!"

*Boom!*

Suddenly, Pala’s head exploded, and his soul was destroyed. For Gin, no one can know why he was here.

Suvana ignored Pala’s death, looking at the formation. "This is similar to many of the Important Formations in the Werdlem Imperial Palace Territory.

Gin was curious. Why would Havira come here? And who were the experts he found to be following her?

Truth be told, Gin had no idea why this formation was here. As mentioned before, very few members of the Werdlem Imperial Family knew about this place, and Gin was not one of them. So, he was also confused about this formation, as he could tell it was related to his Werdlem Imperial Family.

Salazar couldn’t help but warn him. "Gin, it is not good to get involved with this place. If even you don’t know what this formation is about, those behind it might not be someone you should mess with."

"Hmph!" Gin snorted. "Or maybe someone from the Werdlem Imperial Family is doing something they shouldn’t be doing, and we can actually gain from disclosing it."

Salazar wanted to disagree, but he knew Gin wouldn’t listen. Havira was there, and Gin had to get her. "If you say so... What will we do, then? Attack it? We aren’t formation masters, but it is pretty obvious that this formation isn’t something we can get through. In fact, even if all our power wasn’t quelled by the Celestial Suppressors, I still don’t think we could force our way in."

On the other side, Rean and the others saw everything happening. It was a good thing that the formation also blocked Divine Senses, or the twins’ group would definitely have been found. They are just too close for Rean’s Divine Bending Skill to bend a Divine Sense fueled by Celestial Energy, not to mention the Natural Spatial Perception. Havira and Hick don’t have the System Armors, after all.

"They killed Pala..." Kentucky commented.

"Who are they?" Celis asked.

Hick shook his head. "I have never seen them before, but there is no doubt the guy in front is from the Werdlem Imperial Family."

"How do you know?" Everyone asked.

Hick pointed at Gin’s chest. "The Werdlem Imperial Family’s Emblem. No one other than the family itself is allowed to use it in any Universe." He had seen the emblem before, and he would never forget.

Roan snorted. "There is the reason for 34000 Celestial Points."
