Chapter 1465 - Goign Through The Other Side
Obviously, the twins' group had absolutely no idea what the guy was talking about. "We've only arrived, so how would we know that?"
"Just arrived?" The man found it weird. "If you were coming to Utari Island, you should be aware that this area is not the entrance. The only other reason why you're here is t you're trying to meddle with the test's results by helping someone, or you're not from the Foczi Sea."
Of course, the man also had one last option. "Or perhaps... you were one of the extremely lucky idiots who succeeded in passing through the Under Desert Sea. Your clothes don't look like the people of our island or any of the other islands."
Roan nodded in the end, replying, "That's true. We came from Treavin."
Rean, knowing that denying would be no good, also agreed with Roan. Of course, he added a few more words on top of that. "Indeed. Sorry for intervening in your test, but we really didn't know about it. As you probably know, the life in Treavin is terrible, so a lot of people try to escape, and our group is just another one of those people."
Falangia couldn't help but ask after that, "What will senior do to us now that you know the truth?"
The man shook his head, though. "Me? I won't do shit. Just head back to the shore and follow the beach until you reach the other side of the island. That's where you will find the entrance to Utari City."
Everyone was taken aback after that. "Shouldn't you lock us up or kill us for entering Pol Continent without permission?"
The man shook his head, saying, "The Pol Continent is already severely lacking in races not related to the aquatic demon beasts. Any extra humanoid races that appear are more than welcome as long as it isn't a large-scale invasion. Now, shoo, shoo. There are a few participants of the test nearby, and they shouldn't be in contact with you." Before the twins' group could ask anything else, the man took flight and left.
Of course, Rean and Roan could still feel his Divine Sense with their Divine Sense bending skill. It's just that they had activated the skill at low power. That meant that anyone with Divine Sense would be able to penetrate through it. The twins didn't want that guy to come back, thinking that they had disappeared from his Divine Sense again. "Let's go. We can find more about this place once we reach Utari."
Everyone nodded in response, and they quickly went back to the beach. From there, they followed the beach. Of course, they heard the sound of battle coming from the forest every now and then. However, it never reached the beach. Most likely, it was because the beach was not considered part of the test area.
"Well, I guess it isn't hard to guess that we came from Treavin, it seems," Rean could not help but say.
Roan agreed with him. "Utari is the closest inhabited island for those who traverse the Under Desert Sea. It goes without saying that everyone who succeeds in traversing it will reach this place first. I should have thought about this possibility before. If I did, I would have told Kentucky to keep flying until we got to the next inhabited island."
Falangia, who also had the chance to see the jade slip, didn't think it was a good idea. "The next inhabited island is many times further away than the Under Desert Sea is from Utari. We would probably take weeks to arrive there."
Rean didn't seem to mind, asking, "So what's the problem? A few more weeks in exchange for safety. That's not a bad deal."
"Would it be safe, though?" Roan wondered. "That meant we would fly over the vast sea nonstop. We don't know how the powers and races are distributed here. We might have been attacked by strong aquatic demon beasts on the way."
Rean didn't believe so, saying in response, "We're in the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Not to mention that we can even fight an average Initial Stage Void Tempering Realm cultivator. Would we really be at risk? If aquatic demon beasts really came out of the water to attack us, chances are they would be throwing themselves to their deaths."
Roan snorted in response, reminding Rean, "Hmph! Do you really think that? Then let me ask you. Did you forget the cultivation of the man who found us? All we can tell is that he's above the Void Tempering Realm. Did you forget where we are? We are on one of the islands at the borders of Pol Continent. However, such a high-level expert could already be found. How ridiculous is that?"
"This..." Rean had to admit Roan was right. "Indeed, how come someone like that is overseeing a test in the middle of nowhere? Could it be that Utari is a very important city on the continent instead? After all, it's the closest one to Treavin."
Roan shook his head. "Whether that's the case or not, we will find out once we reach Utari City."
"Look." Falangia then called everyone's attention sometime later. "It's Utari City."
They didn't see the city because they had reached the other side of the island. Instead, it was because half of the city was built over the water. Most cities in the Realm of Gods were very big compared to cities on Earth, and Utari was no different. Half of it stretched for tens of kilometers over water. The other half was the same, stretching tens of kilometers into the island.
"Sure enough, the entrance of the city was on the other side," Rean said as he looked at it. On the side of the island, they arrived. They only found those three cultivators with their Divine Senses. However, the twins could now see many more coming and leaving Utari City nonstop. Obviously, all of them arrived through the city's side of the island.
Another thing that Rean noticed was the people coming and leaving the city. "So many demon beasts in human form..." Yes, humanoid races were still the majority.. However, there was no lack of aquatic demon beasts at the Transition Realm or above either.
