1548: Glacial Reofik

Glacial Reofik

Rean couldn't help but be disappointed after that. Then again, it made sense that the other guy wasn't anyone they knew about. "That's too bad. Well, I guess we can only continue on our journey to the demon beasts' territory. Who knows, we might pass by the Glacial Corals region to pay this Zangron a visit. I guess he would be happy to know that more people from Sunkan Planet are also here."2

"That would be difficult," Havek replied. "Zangron left on a journey to try and find more people from our planet. Of course, he didn't know what happened to the planet, but he guessed that his own family might have been caught up in the same problem."

Rean nodded after that. "Well, that's very nice of him. By the way, just how old and strong are you at the moment. And if it isn't a problem, what about Zangron? You said you defeated the previous Sect Master, so you're bound to be quite strong, no?"

Havek obviously liked the question, replying with great confidence, "Hehe! Of course, your grandfather is very strong. I'm only 213 years old, but I'm already in the Peak Stage of the Void Tempering Realm. Well, part of the reason I got to this level this fast was due to that Sacred Water Gem. After assimilating it, my cultivation jumped almost an entire realm."

The Sacred Water Gem was what Havek received as payment for helping Magali. He created a new cultivation technique, specifically for her. Nevertheless, that was very fast progress since cultivation for spirits was usually some really complicated thing. Take the fairies, for example. On the other hand, Kibins needed to feed on virtues. Rean and Roan could already guess that the Sea Chilling Spirits weren't that far off in terms of weirdness.

"As for Zangron, he was in the Transition Realm the last time I saw him. That was around thirty years ago when he finally got to a level he considered enough to travel on his own." Havek then mentioned something else, "I do have some good news, though. I can give you an item that would allow you to find him as long as you're on the same continent. Who knows? You might receive some news from him. Unlike me, Zangron is really focused on finding his family and might find more people from Sunkan along the way."

Soon after, Havek passed them two things that looked like a drop of hardened water. However, it was different from ice, even though it did give a cooling feeling. "These are Glacial Reofiks. It's a kind of item we Sea Chilling Spirits can create through our own special type of energy. Can you see how one of them releases a soft glow in my direction? You just need to follow the glow's direction, and you will definitely find its owner. You can have mine as well."

"The other one is not glowing, though," Rean said soon after.

"That's because it only works in the same continent. Since Zangron's Glacial Reofik is not glowing, that means he has left the Pol Continent. His Glacial Reofik stopped glowing around 13 years ago, so he's gone for a while now. In a certain sense, it isn't a bad thing since he's most likely trying his luck outside the continent," Havek explained.

Rean then took the two Reofiks and sent them straight into the Dimensional Realm. "Thanks. If we find him, we'll make sure to ask about his findings."

Havek didn't mind it, saying, "Just don't get your hopes up that much. As Roan mentioned, the Realm of Gods is just way too big. Chances are he won't find anyone else."

With that out of the way, Rean and Roan finally decided to go back to the purging organization. Along the way back, Sister Orb took the chance to ask. [Rean, have you decided how you will change the formation of the purging organization?]

Rean nodded, saying, "I intend to pass them a rune that's used for power control. However, although it works very nicely in small-scale formations, it'll be a terrible idea to put them to use in such large-scale ones. We will definitely do a few tests on the formation first. When that happens, the whole thing will break apart. I doubt they'll be able to rebuild such a formation anytime soon after that. Perhaps they'll take even longer than the previous 30 years."

[I see... is there a chance of them finding out?] Sister Orb asked soon after.

"I find it hard. That's because I'll let them try this power control rune themselves in smaller formations. Once they see how good it is, I don't think they'll doubt its efficacy when they add it to the main formation," Rean explained.

Roan then changed the topic after that. "Anyway, they're sure to ask you why you left in the middle of the project. Besides, Havek's sect is becoming very large after he took control, so the Formation Masters there might become suspicious, even if you're under the effects of the Soul Binding Contract. You better think up of an excuse when you come back. After all, don't forget that their protector is still following us. It's just that he couldn't enter Havek's sect uninvited, so he waited outside." The twins could still feel the Divine Sense that followed them from the shadows.

Rean nodded, already knowing what to say. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

As always, the small world made it quite easy for the twins to fly back to the white tower. Once there, Rean was immediately called to the underground formation area by Vaz. "What did you need to go to that sect for?"

Rean smiled in response, saying, "My brother found someone he knew. It wasn't anyone related to the Sacred Undersea Kingdom, though. Was there any problem with that sect?"

Vaz narrowed his eyes for a bit before shaking his head. "Whatever. So, let's go back to the project. You were talking about the new power rune before you left. Everyone has been waiting for it, actually. Can you show us now?"

Rean nodded, saying, "Sure, gather everyone around. I'll show an example, then you guys try it."
