Chapter 2981: Why So Hard to Acquire?
Rean took out the Flower Frame and passed it to Gofel. "Alright, show that to us. Also... what is this Hidden Palace you are talking about?"
Gofel was taken aback. "Wait, you don't know about the Hidden Palace?"
Rean and Roan looked at Klifon, who shook his head. "Don't look at me. I know nothing about it."
Seeing their confusion, Gofel wondered if he did the right thing in telling them that. But then again, his cultivation was now gone, and he was certain he wasn't the only one who knew about it. "The Hidden Palace is said to be the resting place of the Sun Urpin from the Divine Realm. Of course, this is only rumors since no one knows if it really exists."
Gofel then made a few seals in midair with his Spiritual Energy and controlled them to enter the flower. Just like it happened to Zana, the Flower Frame began to float and spin. Finally, it pointed in a certain direction and a fine ray of light pointed out... It's just that the direction it pointed was straight at Klifon!
The twins and Gofel didn't expect that, let alone Klifon. "So-Sorry... Seems like I'm in the way." Klifon quickly took flight and got to another side... just for the Flower Frame's to change direction and follow Klifon. The Sun Urpin tried to move around a few more times, but the ethereal flower continued to point straight at him. "Why is this thing following me? Does it have some kind of Sun Urpin detection method?"
Gofel quickly shook his head, just as confused. "I've been together with the other Sun Urpins before when I used this flower. None of the times did it point at the Sun Urpins."
Rean scratched the back of his head. "Well, there are only two reasons. The flower is broken, or Klifon has something that attracts the Flower's detection."
Klifon then stopped for a moment and focused inside his core. The faint Wing Emblem in there quickly disappeared. He was using it to direct himself, and that was the only thing that could possibly be attracting the flower.
Sure enough, as soon as the wing disappeared, the Flower lost its connection with the energy it was trying to detect. It changed direction straight away, pointing into th distance.
"Hum?" Godel glanced at Klifon. "What did you do to stop it?"
Klifon shook his head in response. "I suppressed my Core's energy. Since it was pointing at me, it had to be detecting my energy. Seems like I was right."
Rean and Roan glanced at each other. This didn't seem to be the full story. Nonetheless, they had their own secrets, so they didn't insist. Of course, they did notice one thing. The direction Klifon was guiding them earlier was exactly the same as the direction the flower was pointing
at.
Gofel also thought it to be strange. Nonetheless, since the flower was now pointing in the right direction, he decided to let it go for now. "Anyway, this is the direction of the Hidden Palace... or so I believe."
"Alright, let's go!" Roan didn't waste time and flew in the distance.
Rean smiled and pulled Klifon together. "Gofel, stay very close to me."
Gofel nodded and quickly followed. Suddenly, he felt like the environment changed somehow. It was the same feeling as when Klifon was covered by Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skills for the first time.
It didn't take long for him to notice the same thing as Klifon. He warned the twins about the Sunlight Beasts not too far away, but Rean and Roan continued to fly ahead as if nothing was there. Gofel thought about stopping for a moment, afraid of being swarmed by the Sunlight Beasts again once he got too close. Still, seeing the twins' group confidence, he gritted his teeth and stayed close.
Finally, he understood why Rean and the others didn't stop. Whatever they were doing that made the environment around him feel weird was completely hiding them from the Sunlight Beasts. "How are you doing this?"
Rean shrugged. "It's nothing worth mentioning. It just so happens that I have a skill perfect for this environment, that's all."
Rean's answer gave no room for more inquiries. It was obvious Rean didn't want to explain, so Gofel didn't insist. He simply nodded, happy to be this lucky. "Is that so? Then please continue."
Gofel and Zana weren't the only ones with the Flower Frame. Even though the Transition Realm experts separated at some point, their objective was the same. Then, there were those like Diliy, who didn't have a method to find their way in this Realm but followed someone else.
After flying for several hours and avoiding numerous Sunlight Beasts, Rean finally saw someone else. A Transition Realm expert was fighting two Sunlight Beasts. Yet, the two Sunlight Beasts didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. No doubt they were as strong as the guy.
'It's Saenio,' Gofel commented through Spiritual Sense.
'You know him?' The twins and Klifon looked back.
Gofel nodded and explained. 'He is a board member of the Trandis Organization, which deals with the distribution of Werdlem Stones in our area of the planet. he is a Middle Stage Transition Realm Expert.'
'Oh...' Rean watched the battle. 'If he has access to Werdlem Stones, why would he come here. Can't he use his organization to get a Divine Werdlem Stone for himself?'
Gofel once again looked at Rean and his group. Such questions were supposed to be common sense between experts of the Transition Realm, but they didn't seem to know anything at all. Of course, he still explained since it wasn't a secret either. 'If that was enough to get a Divine Werdlem Stone, he wouldn't be here, you know? None of us would. Divine Werdlem Stones are just too out of reach for us.'
Roan had to ask. 'Just why are Werdlem Divine Stones so hard to acquire?'
