Death… And Me

Chapter 86 - Departing

Juri then began to explain a little more about the Damalu Sect.

"As I mentioned before, our Astreg City is situated in the Northeast of the Jialin Country. Not only that, but very close to the border at that. Although the Dalamu Sect is also on the Northeast side, they are a lot closer to the center. So your trip to that place will take quite a few days."

"Still, you don't need to worry. I have closed our Tribe, so no one will be able to enter or leave in these next few days. Thanks to that, the information that Rean and Roan are two kids at the Foundation Establishment Realm will not leak out for the time being. This should ensure a safe trip."

"Fortunately, the next sect entrance exam will be happening in two weeks. This is a lot more time than you need to reach there. Of course, I can't send Rean and Roan alone since they are still kids (only in body, though). So Alanda will be accompanying them on this trip while I stay behind overseeing the Tribe."

Juri then looked at the twins before explain.

"You two must understand one thing, you are definitely heaven-defying geniuses in this place where we live. But the closer you get to the sects, the more you will notice that the average power increases. The Dalamu Sect gathers all the young geniuses of the entire North-East side of the Jialin country. That being said, you shouldn't feel shocked if you see other young boys at the Foundation Establishment like you."

Rean and Roan nodded. They had long since understood that they really live in a small corner that almost no one cared.

Juri then continued.

"Of course, you did that with your own effort. Completely different from those big clans and families who used their wealth to propel their descendants into the same cultivation realm as you two. Besides, even if they had those advantages, most of those in the Foundation Establishment Realm are already over 10 years old."

"However, this is a good opportunity. You two had been practicing since little and truth be told, you are quite big for your ages. Part of that is thanks to Hamarlia and Turen, who are tall people to start with. These were some good blood you got there."

Hamarlia and Turen couldn't help but few a little embarrassed after hearing that.

Juri, on the other hand, just laughed.

"Anyway. You two are turning 10 years old in the next month, but no one will doubt if we say that you are already 12. In the Dalamu Sect, a 12 years old Foundation Establishment will catch some attention, but that is all. There will be quite a few kids between 10 and 13 years old in the same cultivation realm as you two."

"Once again, I repeat what I said. The majority only got that far thanks to their backgrounds. So don't think that all your effort was for nothing or that you are not talented. If you were born in one of those prominent families, your cultivation would probably be in the Middle or maybe even Advanced stage already."

Rean couldn't help but ask.

"But isn't it bad for those kids to cultivate too fast? Wouldn't their foundations be damaged because of that?"

Juri nodded.

"They would. However, they don't lack alchemists' pills. Between those pills, some can speed up the stabilization of the foundation. Others can strengthen them. Anyway, I guess you understand why they don't have to be afraid of cultivating too fast. To be honest, I really don't know how you got such a sturdy foundation after arriving at the Foundation Establishment so quickly. Our Tribe didn't have anything that could help you with that."

[Hmph! Clearly, it was because of me!]

Obviously, Juri didn't hear Sister Orb's comment.

"Cough, cough. We have our tricks."

Juri didn't mind that and continued.

"Just because you see many similar age kids in the same realm as you don't mean that you are at the same level. I truly believe that you are not weaker than any of them."

"Anyway, let's go back to your age. Just say that you are 12 years old to avoid unnecessary suspicion. As for the rest, you can do the way you see fit. There is no way you won't catch attention since you have the Light and Dark Elements and aptitudes, after all. You might as well show a little of your real power to get a good position in the sect. Still, don't exaggerate. You two have no backgrounds, so it is not good to make all those young noble kids jealous of you."

The twins nodded. That was how they were intending to do anyway.

"Very well. You should stay with your parents this night. I will have you two leaving tomorrow morning."

Alanda then looked at Juri and asked.

"What about that other topic?"

"Ah! That's right."

Juri smiled at the twins before saying.

"I will be sending Inna Malaka with the two of you as well."

"What?!"

Obviously, the two got shocked after rearing that.

"Why would you do something like this? We can't guarantee our own safety, let alone hers."

Juri nodded.

"I know. But after the last war, there will definitely be a lot of investigation. That being said, soon the others will notice the difference in Malaka's cultivation speed as well. Since that is the case, I might as well have her join the Dalamu Sect. Don't worry, she is old enough, and with the two of you there, she will not be brainwashed to forget our Tribe."

Rean and Roan couldn't help but grimace. They couldn't refuse it since what Juri said was true. Leaving Malaka here might be even more dangerous for her. Besides, joining a sect with her talent would indeed be the best option since the Varen Tribe could only do so much for her future.

Rean sighed and nodded in the end.

"Sigh... fine. Malaka is already a little sister for me anyway."

Roan didn't say anything, but he didn't refuse it either. Of course, Rean knows that Roan also felt the same way as him.

Juri then talked with everyone for a while before sending them back. He still had to speak with Inna Malaka's family, after all.

The next morning, Alanda was already waiting in front of the Tribe. Soon Rean and Roan arrived, with Malaka being the last one. Obviously, their parents were there as well to send them off.

After a lot of tears of their mothers, Rean, Roan, and Malaka departed with Alanda. Destination: Dalamu Sect!
