Chapter 1901 Real Reason
That was the second time Rean passed through space like that, seeing the spatial storms as Fran brought him along. Nevertheless, there was still a doubt in his mind, so he asked Fran. "I feel like the reasons I gave you still weren't enough to convince you. Why did you decide to take my side anyway?"
Fran glanced at him and faintly smiled in response. "Because I've never liked the fact that Jakar was the Golden Feather holder. Forget our deal. Just knowing that Kitan has it makes me very happy. Of course, I wouldn't tell the others about it since there was the risk that this transfer would have gone wrong. Think of it as me thanking you for the job, regardless of how you managed to do it."
"I see..." Rean could only nod after hearing that. "As you heard, I haven't known Jakar for that long. Yet, one thing is pretty obvious. He's definitely not cut out to be a leader."
Fran agreed with him on that point. "Everyone knows that. It's just that some refuse to accept, his parents included. He isn't a bad kid per se. He's just terrible at taking responsibility. Kitan, on the other hand, always had this kind of mindset. At the very least, Jakar did select the right Winged Provis for the job. Well, I would have selected someone else, but Kitan is still a very good choice."
Suddenly, another fissure in space appeared as Rean and Fran came out. Judging by the time the journey took, Rean could guess that Fran bought him further away than where he was first captured. "Where are we now?"
"This is the Isvotis Continent," Fran told him. "This is where you can find the Azure Lilibel Race. You should be able to find their territory a few thousands of kilometers north."
Fran then turned around and reopened the fissure in space, preparing to leave. "I'll keep these Thoughts Transmission Talismans. Let's do it this way. If you answer our call in the future and come help move the Golden Feather again, I don't mind paying with Iridescent Tears. Of course, that'll only happen if something occurs to Kitan himself, and that would probably be unlikely."
"Wait, Senior Fran." Rean quickly stopped him before taking a jade slip out. He filled it with some information and then passed it back to Fran. "Give it to Jakar. Inside are the forging methods for Azure Stream Crystals below the Divine level. It explains what type of crystals he'll have to ask from the Azure Lilibels and how to use them."
Fran checked the jade slip, and it really depicted some forging processes. He wasn't a blacksmith, though, so he didn't understand much. As mentioned before, most spirits didn't dwell on side occupations, especially forging. "Alright, I'll give it to him." Fran didn't wait for Rean to answer and quickly entered the fissure in space, which disappeared soon after.
Rean wasn't an idiot, though. He quickly activated his Divine Sense bending skill and tried to check the surroundings. Yet, there wasn't a single Divine Sense around him. 'Sister Orb, can you feel if anything that can track us was left in my body?'
[I already did that. At the very least, I can't feel anything.]
'Can father's Thought Transmission Talisman be used to find us then?' Rean covered all spots.
[No. They're in the Dimensional Realm. Even if such a thing was possible, the tracker would need the talismans to be outside the Dimensional Realm. In the Dimensional Realm, no signal can escape at all.]
Rean nodded and quickly entered the Dimensional Realm after that. Roan, of course, was already waiting for him there. "Use the Circuitry Teleport Formation and teleport away, just in case."
Rean nodded in response. "I was already going to do that anyway."
Even if they couldn't find anything, perhaps someone was observing them through other methods, like natural spatial perception. Someone in a much higher realm would definitely be able to feel Rean's presence from much further away. That meant Rean himself wouldn't be able to feel the other party.
Rean didn't skimp on Rank Four Divine Stones and charged the Circuitry Teleport Formation to its limit. That allowed him to teleport in one specific direction even though he couldn't control the precise location. However, one thing was certain. Rean definitely didn't teleport in the Azure Lilibel Race's direction. First of all, Rean had never really wanted to do anything there. It was just an excuse he used to traverse the Gods' Dividing Barrier.
As soon as Rean disappeared, space once again opened in the area as a shadow came out. It was none else than Fran, who had hidden behind space itself. "Hehe. He wasn't kidding when he said all he needed was a place without scrambled space. His Dimensional Realm really completely disappeared from my spatial perception. Oh well. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future." Following that, Fran returned behind the space once again, and this time left for real.
Rean reappeared once again somewhere else. His Divine Sense spread, covering an entire 30-kilometer radius around him. Rean was quite surprised by that since it was the first time after the breakthrough that he had tried to use it to its maximum range. 'So far...'
However, he quickly recovered and paid attention to his current surroundings. He saw a few Demon Beasts here and there, but none with cultivation high enough to have sentience. 'There might be spirits as well, but they should be hidden as always.' Unless Rean got close enough to perceive them with his natural spatial perception, even his Divine Sense would be useless to detect the spirits. The good thing was that no spirit would be able to approach him from behind anymore.
*Vup!*
In the next second, a big black and white demon bird appeared near Rean. "Oh! I can finally fly a little bit more."
Well, only Rean could see him since he used his Light and Divine Sense bending skill around Kentucky. "I don't know exactly where we are in the Isvotis Continent, but I know where we're going. Let's go. Our next stop is the Spirit Stream. If it crosses the Isvotis Continent as shown on the map, we should find one of its streams by moving west. The Azure Lilibel race was located close to it as well."
"Alright, hop on." With that, Rean quickly landed on Kentucky's back before the Minokawa shot into the distance.
