3040 I will try
Even Foliana was surprised. "Didn't Rean say you could leave whenever you wanted?" Well, she was also speaking about that so she could forget the previous event.
Little Fisha floated in the air with the help of her Spiritual Energy, feeling conflicted. 'Well... you did say that you had something to ask me, didn't you?'
Rean shrugged. Indeed, he mentioned he had a question to ask her, but he didn't expect she would take it. She had been trying to escape all this while, but it seemed like the effects of the Blood Reformation Pill changed her mind a little. "Okay. I was just curious. Since we have come this far, do you want to leave this Spiritual Canyon? That means also abandoning the Spiritual Pond forever. With the Blood Reformation Pill, you shouldn't have any issues reaching Stage Seven, but that also means you won't be able to return here."
Little Fisha was taken aback. 'You can bring me out?!'
"I can," Rean nodded. "But that's what makes me confused. I haven't mentioned it before, but the Galapadien Organization is the one that takes care of the formation that protects the Spiritual Canyon. Anyway, they told us before we came inside that the Demon Beasts weren't blocked by it. They could go in and out, and only at Stage Seven or above they couldn't enter anymore."
Rean continued, looking seriously at Little Fisha. "Since that's the case, why didn't you simply leave the Spiritual Canyon? Your race would rather risk your lives approaching this inheritance in the past than going out on their own. Could it be that your Swordhorm Sea Race can't cultivate if it is away from the Spiritual Pond?"
Little Fisha was shocked by that revelation. 'Wait! Are you saying we could go out anytime we wanted?! And what is this thing about not being able to return after Stage Seven?'
Rean and Foliana looked at each other before they returned their attention to Little Fisha and nodded. They then gave Little Fisha a quick explanation of what they were told. "...At least that's what the Galapadien Organization told us."
Little Fisha looked in the direction of the exit and asked. "So... I can go out right now, right?"
"I wouldn't recommend that," Rean stopped her. "At the moment, the cultivators are all on the surface, making use of the Spiritual Pond's water. If you go out now, chances are you will be hunted down by all of them at once."
Foliana agreed. "He is right. Wait until tomorrow. Today is the last day the Spiritual Canyon is open. Tomorrow, there won't be anyone anymore other than other Demon Beasts, so you should be able to make your way out of the Spiritual Canyon. However, it is like Rean meaning. If you reach Stage Seven, you will not be able to enter the Canyon ever again. How important is the Spiritual Pond for your cultivation?"
Little Fish thought about it for a moment before explaining. "The Spiritual Pond... Well, that's what you call it. For us, it is just our home. Anyway, it does indeed contribute a lot to our cultivation. That doesn't mean we can't cultivate out of it, though. But, as an aquatic race, we would rather be in the water, even if it is not the water of our home."
Rean sighed in response. "Then you should think carefully about it. Since you have never been out, I might as well tell you this. The water of other places outside the Canyon doesn't have anywhere near as much Spiritual Energy as this place. Also, the outside world is dangerous. Do you still wish to go out?"
"I do!" Little Fisha didn't need to think twice. "Even if other ponds or whatever don't have the same amount of Spiritual Energy, at least I can cultivate and reach Stage Seven. All the Spiritual Energy here in my home is useless if I can't go to the next level."
Rean smiled. "Good. So, wait until tomorrow and set off. Try to find some body of water near the Canyon's location. I have a feeling you will find quite a few members of your race there."
Little Fisha couldn't take that from her head anymore. "I will definitely try."
