Chapter 1626 Their Options
Red didn't have the same intent, though. "Well, there's only one problem with your idea, the teleport formation. The formation that can send you to the center of the Realm of Gods is extremely expensive, even for the likes of you or me."
Calina couldn't help but sigh, murmuring, "Rank Seven Divine Stones, huh?"
That was what one needed to go through several continents. First of all, teleport formations usually wouldn't be able to pass through the continental barriers. However, formations that used Divine Origin Energy had such capabilities. The problem was that only Rank Seven Divine Stones and above had Divine Origin Energy. All the ranks below that only had normal Divine Energy.
Zuo Fin then commented, "However, I heard that the Divine Demon Beast leaders are going to pay a visit to the center of the Realm of Gods. What was that? Oh, right! They're going to meet the leaders of the humanoid races and spirit races. Can't we... you know... go with them? I'm sure you can talk things through since you're also a Divine Demon Beast, Red."
Red shook his head, replying, "Are you crazy? There's no way I'll try to talk about this thing with those monsters. Sure, I'm a Divine Demon Beast, but I'm far from being the only one in the demon beast territories. There are a lot more who would definitely want to follow the elders but can't, let alone some weaklings from the humanoid races."
However, Red wasn't without any ideas. "But... you have time. This meeting will happen quite far in the future, so you could take this time to come up with some plan. You just have to think about which one you want to try. Do you want to travel there on your own through the continents, or do you want to try to use the teleport formation? Each option has its drawbacks."
Qia understood. "If we stay to try to use the teleport formation, we might fail and lose many years we could have used for travel. However, if we go for the travel, just how many years will it take for us to reach the center of the Realm of Gods? The only thing in our favor is that you helped us secure a method of traversing the continental barriers."
Unlike the remote areas of the Realm of Gods, the place where Qia's group appeared had developed simpler methods to traverse the continental barriers. There was no need to wait for official openings and things like that. Of course, that doesn't mean that just anyone can do it. Red's bloodline was what helped Qia and the others get this ability.
Red shrugged his shoulders, saying, "You helped me come back to the Realm of Gods and recover my memories. That's the least I can do since I'm not following you. Well then, it's up to you which option you'll choose. If you decide to travel, I can at least help out with some extra resources."
Calina nodded after hearing that. "Thank you, Red. We will think about it."
Back on the twins' side, Roan finally returned to the Dimensional Realm after being up to date with Luan. Only then did he find out that Ophilia gave birth to a Sword Intent Seed. "Hmm? That eight-year-old girl?" Since she was part of the kids Luan brought to the sect during the first recruiting, he still remembered her.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Roan asked Rean in the Dimensional Realm.
"Why should I?" Rean asked in response. "You and Luan had a lot of things to do, so I simply let it be. It's not like you can't check on her right now. She's still there in the kids' residence. If you aren't busy anymore, it might be a good thing for you to take a look at her."
Roan nodded after hearing that. "Indeed. Anyways, I'm going there now." He then looked at Luan, telling him, "You come with me as well. Unlike what I showed you, this girl has a Sword Intent Seed. I couldn't bring the level of my Sword Intent below Stage Two anymore. Perhaps you'll get a better understanding by looking at her seed."
Luan couldn't help but become excited. What if he could use both his Space Powers and sword intent at the same time? That would be amazing! Perhaps he could even match his father at the same level... on second thought, never mind. He wasn't that delusional. "Yes, father."
Roan and Luan then got to Ophilia, who just so happened to be training with her sword. Since she wasn't fighting anyone, she wasn't using the wooden sword but a real one this time. "Oh! Can you see her sword? Can you see how it flickers between an ethereal and normal form?"
Luan immediately nodded, saying, "So that's what a Sword Intent Seed looks like. According to what father told me, the less it flickers, the closer one gets to the Second Stage of Sword Intent, Stable Ethereability. The flicker on her sword happens at least two or three times per second. How long does father think she will take to reach the Second Stage?"
Roan pondered over it before responding, "Taking myself and Rean as examples, she will take at least a year to reach Stable Ethereability. However, she's just a kid, so you can't expect much from her. It won't be bad if she takes four or five more years."
Luan nodded. "I'm going to train with her for a moment. Is that okay, father?"
Roan nodded, replying, "Go ahead. I'll be watching to see how you and this girl do. It will be good to focus a little on her training even if she has to fight for her own resources."
Luan wasn't the only one there, though. Quite a few sword practitioners came by to see the girl training with her Sword Intent Seed activated. It's just that Hage made sure no one would bother her without permission. Of course, Roan, as the Sect Master, didn't need Hage's permission, nor would he do anything that could impede her development.
