Chapter 1264: Alright

The Realm of Gods was going crazy. Not long ago, two Star Bodies appeared at the same time. Now, another one had also appeared. It was obvious that some, somewhere, found a way to acquire a Star Body without relying on chance. If that was the case, wasn’t the power behind this discovery going to become a threat to them? They had to find out who did it.

Unfortunately, none of them could ever imagine that it happened on such a desolate continent in the middle of nowhere. All the powers were keeping an eye on each other, thinking that only they could have done such a thing.

Rean and Kihin knew nothing about that, of course. Kihin was just delighted that he was able to find his compatible star. Sure, he still had to travel to several different places in the sea of stars in his mind. However, he at least knew the places he should go look for it. “It was like what you said! When I got close enough to my own star, I felt the connection between my Starlight and that star. You’re definitely correct. The Starlight Energy in our bodies was definitely not ours at first. A star owned it at first!”

Roan was happy to hear that, saying in response, “That’s good. Now then, I’ll take my leave here. Remember, make sure you know what you’re doing if you ever decide to share this method with others. If I were you, I would first wait until I have the cultivation to protect myself before opening my mouth. But then again, I won’t judge you if you decide otherwise.”

Kihin didn’t like it. He felt like he now owed Roan too much. “You’re leaving already? I haven’t even found a way to thank you for the help. You, more than anyone else, know how important such a thing is for me and my future.”

Roan shook his head, telling him, “You already paid me the agreed amount of Merit Points. Besides, you were my helper this time. Just like you did with me, I had you try my own methods. The payment was the information that my process of finding the compatible star works.”

Kihin nodded after hearing that. “I still think I owe you, so at least bring this with you.” He then threw a spatial ring at Roan. Inside, there were around ten thousand Rank Two Divine Stones. Such a quantity was a lot, even for Kihin in the Core Sector.”

Roan didn’t refuse as he and Rean were just waiting for Rean to gather more Rank Two Divine Stones before leaving. “Thanks, I’ll make good use of them.” Of course, just to be sure, he asked Sister Orb to check if there was any tracker or anything like that there. Sure enough, the ring didn’t have any.

Kihin couldn’t help but let out a sigh after Roan left, making a vow to himself that if the opportunity appeared one day, he would give Roan a helping hand. ‘But first, I have to grow strong enough to be someone who can help him. That guy… he’s going very far with such talent and comprehension. Even I have to admit I’m not his match in that regard.’

Roan then informed Rean regarding what he found, which surprised Rean a lot. In any case, Rean was more satisfied with the Rank Two Divine Stones. ‘Great! That will reduce my work time by a lot.’

Roan asked back, ‘How much longer do you need to forge weapons and armors?’

‘I’m planning to gather at least another twenty thousand Rank Two Divine Stones. This is a fortune that you might not even find in the Inner Sector of the Sacred Land. That includes disciples with big backgrounds. With this amount, I believe we won’t have trouble paying smugglers to bring us through the continental barriers.’

Roan nodded in response to those words. ‘Very well.’

Roan then took the chance of him being free to go to the Saint Realm Ranking Board to issue a new challenge. As mentioned before, he selected a Peak Stage Saint Realm cultivator in the Inner Sect. He had already achieved a lot of success in the Ranking Board due to his position and cultivation, but his sudden challenge against a Peak Stage Saint caught even more attention.

Though, it was quite unfortunate for the others that battles could be done behind closed doors. The guy Roan challenged knew that Roan was able to win against Late Stage Saint Realm cultivators, albeit with a lot of difficulties. He didn’t know if Roan got stronger or not while still in the Initial Stage, but he definitely didn’t want others to see him lose to someone three stages below his cultivation.

Fortunately for Roan, it turned out that Sister Orb was right. With the Second Grade Star Body and the limit for Rean’s Enhancement skill increased, Roan was able to fight against the Peak Stage Saint guy without many issues. The battle didn’t end instantly, but Roan did win with certain ease. Roan even let the guy select the field so that he could test his strength against the odds, so he was satisfied with the results.

After Roan’s position in the rank changed, everyone was shocked shitless. Then again, they didn’t see the fight. So what? His increase in the Saint Realm Ranking Board proved his victory. However, something not very Roan-like happened after that. Once Roan achieved his victory against the guy, Roan stopped appearing in the arena.

Even Rean was puzzled as he knew Roan would usually keep going there to test his cultivation and the Second Grade Star Body. ‘Why did you stop? It’s not like you care about catching attention since we have Etherian on our side.’

Roan shook his head, telling Rean, ‘There’s no need anymore. I just wanted to check a few differences between having the Second Grade Star Body and not having it. Fortunately, my battle with the last guy was enough to test it out. Now I can just wait until we reach the Third Grade or ascend to the next stage.’

Rean didn’t insist. ‘Well, if you say so. Although we just started to cultivate, it will take several months before we can try a breakthrough into the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm.’

Roan agreed with him in that regard. ‘Correct. Anyway, just focus on your forging. I won’t be going out anymore until you get the necessary Rank Two Divine Stones for our journey.’

‘Alright.’
