Rean then lifted the token and… used his sleeve to wipe the glowing pedestal…

Everybody’s mouth twitched after seeing that.

“Brat, what the hell are you occupied with? That is clearly a Non secular Gear of some kind, the mud has no eff-“

*Clack…*

All of a sudden, Latalia’s blood-drenched token fused with the pedestal, rapidly disappearing. Properly, What was actually being absorbed was Latalia’s blood. The token was solely taken as a memento by the pedestal.

*Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack…*

The mechanical sounds continued because the door in entrance started to tremble. The mud within the room was stirred up because it felt like your complete room was on the transfer.

Rean then seemed on the man who had simply talked.

“You had been saying?”

If there was a gap in the intervening time, the man would undoubtedly have jumped inside it. 

“Hmph! Who cares. If it opened, then that is what issues.”

The others round laughed out loud however rapidly regained their focus. Lastly, the Laan Metropolis entrance started to open slowly. Gentle shone from the opposite aspect till lastly, it opened sufficient to at the least see what was on the opposite aspect.

Rean’s group wasn’t impressed by that. In spite of everything, Latalia already stated that there ought to be a metropolis behind it. Nonetheless, the others had been certainly shocked to see it. The door was positioned at what appeared to be an advantageous level. Due to what was acknowledged earlier than, they may see a complete metropolis stretching for tens of kilometers.

Nonetheless, there was one factor that shocked Rean’s group. In contrast to the others, they had been positive that they had been deep underground. The opposite cultivators solely thought that it could be potential since they have not seen the sky till now. Besides, there was no ceiling above the Metropolis. All they may see was a deep blue sky like another a part of the floor.

Instantly, Roan requested Latalia.

‘What’s taking place right here? Weren’t we presupposed to be underground?’

Latalia was additionally stunned. Nonetheless, she rapidly observed a distinction.

“Wait. Look carefully. That is not an actual sky.”

Latalia did not use her Non secular Sense. As an alternative, she talked in an informal method. Naturally, everybody round heard her as effectively. They paid shut consideration to the blue sky and at last observed what she was speaking about.

A couple of strains of sunshine ran by way of the blue skies at excessive speeds. Nonetheless, they had been very tiny and laborious to detect. Nonetheless, the cultivators observed that these lights adopted some patterns, releasing their power into the air, rapidly fusing with the sky itself.

“It is a formation that creates an phantasm of a sky, not an actual sky per se.”

“Properly, these guys made this unusual maze with false demon beasts. It isn’t laborious to imagine that they may make a faux sky with a formation.”

“Wait. It is a metropolis, however is it empty in the intervening time?”

As quickly as that doubt appeared, everybody unfold their Non secular Senses into the Metropolis in entrance. Nonetheless, they did not take too lengthy to get their reply.

Impulsively, a robust Non secular Stress fell over all their our bodies, forcing all of them to the bottom. Quickly after, an outdated man adopted by what appeared to be a feathered individual descended from the faux sky in entrance of the cultivators. Everybody instantly dropped any ideas of resistance. That Non secular Stress alone was sufficient for them to grasp that they had been nothing greater than ants in entrance of the newcomers. 

“Who’re you? You weren’t supposed to have the ability to open the Metropolis Entrance with out having the residents’ bloodline. And what are you doing inside our Laan Metropolis’s coaching floor?”

Latalia bitterly smiled. Even after hundreds of years, there have been nonetheless cultivators current in Laan Metropolis. She thought that it could be utterly empty since none of them appeared exterior anymore.

Somebody then lifted his head and tried to elucidate.

“Se-Senior, we discovered the token after battling unusual demon beasts within the maze behind us. A few of them had some type of tokens inside their our bodies, which we used to open the door. As for the bloodline, we do not know what Senior is speaking about.”

Everybody additionally understood one thing else. The treasures that they had been anticipating to obtain from this hidden floor was solely a pipe dream proper now. How might they presumably take into consideration robbing a metropolis protected by such robust cultivators?

The person narrowed his eyes as he scanned everybody within the small group. Resulting from their cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of them attempting something. It was then that one other cultivator had arrived there. Similar to the bird-like man, this one had traits of Demon Beasts on his physique. His arms had been coated in scales just like a snake or python.

“Elder Darkon, wait a second.”

The person beside the chook man seemed on the newcomer.

“Sira, what is the matter?”

Clearly, that was the scale-covered man’s title. 

“Oh… are these the outsiders? It has been a very long time since some have appeared.”

Darkon then narrowed his eyes.

“Sira, what are you considering? It’s best to know that we aren’t presupposed to work together with outsiders.”

Sira did not appear to thoughts Darkon, although.

“Darkon, you are as annoying as all the time. The outdated geezers who made these guidelines already departed or died a very long time in the past. Do not you wish to go see the skin world? Since these guys got here inside, perhaps there is a manner out now.”

The person with feathers on his physique then criticized Sira.

“Sira. Did you neglect what is going to occur to those that depart the Metropolis? They are going to be endlessly banished! The ancestors will not come to take them away both!”

Sira snorted in response.

“Gali, the final time anybody got here to take us was over 10 thousand years in the past. Get up, idiots. Nobody’s coming anymore.”

Rean’s group and the others did not know what was taking place. However from listening to the dialog between them, it wasn’t laborious to think about that the residents on this Metropolis had been trapped right here. That additionally answered Latalia’s ancestor’s query. Why have not they seen any of the Laan Residents once more?

Darkon and Gali’s expressions darkened, however Sira ignored them and requested the group.

“Hey, inform me. The place did you come from? Was there an exit someplace?”

All of them checked out one another. At that second, Latalia determined to speak.

“Senior. I am unsure if that’s an exit, however there’s a teleport formation in a room related to the identical room as this Metropolis’s entrance. Two of our companions disappeared as quickly as they entered that chamber.”

“What?!”

Sira instantly ignored Latalia and stepped out of the doorway. He then seemed on the room Latalia talked about, and his eyes lit up.

“Darkon, Gila, look! The teleport formation is lively once more!”

Darkon and Gila did not take away their consideration in the direction of the group, however they nonetheless stepped exterior to see what Sira talked about.

“It is true… ever because the Metropolis was moved to this place, the teleport formation contained in the coaching grounds had been deactivated.”

Sira then checked out Darkon and Gila earlier than saying.

“We have to report it to the elders. It is a golden alternative!”

Darkon and Gila had been nonetheless sad with that concept, however they agreed that this example ought to be reported.

“What ought to we do with these guys?”

“Let’s kill them to stop any issues from arising.”

Everybody felt a chill on their backs. Nonetheless, Sira rapidly intervened.

“You understand, you do not have to fucking kill each outsider we meet? They’re our passes to the skin world, so hold them alive.”

Whereas everybody was occupied with what to do to flee safely, Rean and Roan had been extra involved about how these guys had been concerned within the so-called Vruve Remnants. Of their eyes, these guys’ power was an enormous downside, however not as massive as discovering an empty metropolis. That might as an alternative make issues rather a lot more durable to grasp.

‘Roan, they appear to grasp the phrases on these partitions. Nonetheless, in addition they converse our language, albeit with some heavy accents. That is good. Perhaps they’ll straight reply what Sister Orb and the Soul Gem System talked about, the Vruve Remnants.’

In response, Roan narrowed his eyes.

‘That additionally carries its personal dangers. Perhaps they do not need anybody to know concerning the Vruve factor, as if it was a taboo, for instance. If we discuss this subject, they could kill all of us as an alternative.’

Rean was stunned for a second. 

Whereas Sira was arguing with Darkon and Gila, everybody immediately heard a voice coming from the gap.

“Deliver the outsiders in.”

Sira, Darkon, and Gila seemed on the route the voice got here from. Quickly after, Sira laughed earlier than saying.

“See? Even the elders agree with me. Let’s go. Perhaps our confinement is about to be over.”

Nonetheless, simply as they had been about to carry everybody away, one other massive group of cultivators appeared on the metropolis’s entrance.

When Rean’s group was ready for extra tokens to return, a number of hours had passed by. In addition they spent a while ready for others to check the glowing pedestal earlier than Latalia lastly had the prospect to strive.

In the long run, all that point was greater than sufficient for the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to reach on this place. To begin with, not one of the demon beasts inside posed any menace to them. Additionally, they had been transferring collectively within the maze, so it was even simpler. What Rean’s group took two or so days to move by way of, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators solely took a couple of hours. That was mainly the distinction in cultivation talking by itself.

Tiria and Juvian instantly observed Rean, Roan, and Kentucky in the midst of the group. Nonetheless, they did not act harshly. That is as a result of the three guys in entrance of them had been nothing however weak.

‘Soul Transformation Realm!’
