Chapter 3098 Terms
"What?!" Tomoe was taken aback. When Rean said he would show her the Fifth Stage, she immediately thought about the Sect Master, Diliy. After all, Rean was accepted as his disciple. It was no secret. Of course, there were all the issues between Rean being a member of the Gondel Clan and the Sect Master of the World Splitting Sect's disciple. She didn't know how he would deal with it. That wasn't her problem, though. What mattered was that Diliy wasn't here at the moment.
"Are you saying... you know the Fifth Stage?" Tomoe asked, finding it hard to believe.
Rean faintly smiled and took out his Black Star Sword. "Build a protection around yourself. I learned it together with Sect Master Diliy not long ago, so I don't have good control over it. If you don't do that, I might slice you in a thousand pieces before you can do anything."
Tomoe swallowed hard but nodded, quickly releasing as much of her Spiritual Energy as possible. At the same time, she raised her sword, ready to defend against anything. Yet, that was still not enough.
*Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...*
The moment Rean activated the Fifth Stage, they slashed through Tomoe's Spiritual Energy Barrier like a hot knife on butter. She did her best to counter the intent, but she was still forced tens of meters behind while her body was filled with cuts. Fortunately, the Spiritual Barrier still reduced the power of the intent, so all the cuts were superficial. As a Sword Cultivator, she didn't give a damn to her appearance. She had quite a few scars of her own, so it didn't bother her. Still, to be cut in so many places like that was hard to ignore... for Rean. 'Maybe I went a little too far.'
Tomoe couldn't be happier. She then looked at her clothes... which were pretty much gone by now. What remained was completely bloodied, even though she had no injury remaining. "I just wish there were clothes more resistant in this world." Completely ignoring Rean's existence, she took a new set of clothes, used her Spiritual Sense to get rid of all the blood, and changed.
Rean nodded, satisfied. The fact that Tomoe already didn't care about things like nudity shows that she is far ahead of women of age, even though she was only thirty-something years old. "Your future isn't all that bad, little girl. Now then, there is another thing I want you to deliver to my parents." Rean finished his words and threw a Spatial Ring to Tomoe.
"What is this?" Tomoe asked, but she didn't look inside. The last thing she needed was for Rean to find a reason to go back on his word.
Rean didn't mind telling her, though. "There are several pills inside. Foundation Breakthrough Pills, Core Formation Breakthrough Pills, and other pills to stabilize and help in the path of cultivation. Also, there are quite a good amount of Spiritual Stones and a copy of perfectly suited Cultivation Techniques for them. When I come back, I wish them to be in the Core Formation at the very least."
Tomoe narrowed her eyes. "I can take them with me and bring them to a safe place near the World Splitting Sect. However, you aren't expecting me to watch over their cultivation and teach them, right?"
Rean put his hand on his back, showing a knowing smile. "That's up to you. With what is inside this Spatial Ring, it shouldn't be difficult. But hey, you are already gaining a lot, so it is not like you need anything else after I return."
How could a smart woman like Tomoe not understand? It was obvious that Rean would give her something extra if she accomplished that task about Rean's parents in this world. Well, fake parents, but it was okay. "Fine... I will see what I can do, but I make no promises."
"Good! I knew you could be of use," Rean said, knowing she would be temped. "I will send you back now."
