[I think you're thinking way too far ahead. In any case, you have 22728 Destiny Points remaining. You really won't use it anymore, right?] Sister Orb asked after Rean was done talking.
Rean and Roan nodded as Roan replied, "Yes. Leave those points there for us to accumulate to 50000. Only then will we choose something else."
With that decided, the twins, Celis, and Kentucky finally exited the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. After that, they returned to the sect on Kentucky's back.
Cynthia sighed in relief, seeing that the twins were back. However, the one who almost cried was Kurt, who was having a hard time holding the Stage Five Demon Beast down. "Celis, Kentucky, you can't leave like that. I had to chain up the demon beast, and it reset our efforts in taming it.."
Kentucky nodded, telling Kurt, "It's okay. We won't leave anytime soon. Well, at least not the two of us together. Celis will most likely reconnect with the roots spread already and just focus on cultivation."
Celis confirmed that as he said, "That's true. It's just that the twins and us two had a few things to do, so we had to leave."
"Something to do? What was th-" Only then did Kurt notice Kentucky and Celis's new cultivation levels. "Oh! You broke through to Middle Stage Six! Congratulations! No wonder you had to leave. You were preparing for this breakthrough. I see! I see!"
Kentucky and Celis didn't try to fix his ideas as they returned to where Celis had taken roots. Naturally, Kentucky's nest would be there as well.
"Kentucky!"
"Kentucky's back!"
"Why did you leave so suddenly?!"
"We missed you!"
Unsurprisingly…Kentucky had already captured the girls' hearts in the Beast Taming Hall. Since he didn't need to pretend that he couldn't talk in the sect, he didn't waste time before playing his 'charm' once again. "Sniff, sniff…you don't know how frightening it was. However, it was the thought of you back in the Beast Taming Hall that allowed me to come back from this trip and even breakthrough. I missed you too!"
Celis's mouth twitched as he heard that…or it would if he had one. 'I really can't understand this Minokawa sometimes…'
The head elder and the disciples of the Beast Taming Hall weren't the only ones shocked. When Cynthia came to see the twins, she immediately noticed that they had broken through. "What?! How the hell did you do that?"
Roan glanced at her for a moment before shaking his head, telling her in response, "It's a secret. Otherwise, we wouldn't have left the sect before breaking through."
"This…" Cynthia knew it was true. Nevertheless… "Could it be that you found another Divine Stream Lake?"
Rean and Roan looked at Cynthia as if she was an idiot. "If even you guys, who have lived in this area for so long, don't know how to find the next lake, how do you expect us to know?"
Cynthia scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "Errr…forget I asked anything." She then changed the topic. "Ahem…can't you give me a clue on how to cultivate that fast like you guys?"
Rean smiled before saying, "Get more Divine Stones to cultivate."
Cynthia felt like giving Rean a beating. "If I could do that, our sect wouldn't be with financial struggles!"
"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "That's true. Anyway, once we get a Divine Vein for your sect, things should become easier for you."
Cynthia shook her head in response. "Don't underestimate the assembly. I can guarantee you that there will be Saint Realm experts below the age of 50 there. That just shows how different the level of strength is between our sect and the top organizations in Cosec."
Rean wanted to say that he and Roan could probably fight up to an entire realm above their cultivation alone and even higher if they exchanged elements. However, he refrained from doing so, deciding to just end it off with a chuckle. "Hehe! Of course, we know of the competition. In any case, we'll see how strong they are once it starts."
Cynthia then conversed with the twins for a little longer before leaving their residence. Well, the twins left with her as well, heading straight to the Formation Master and Alchemy Halls.
In the Sect Master's residence, Cynthia told them the news. "What?! They broke through again?! Not only that, but it was all four of them?!"
Cynthia nodded, muttering, "I really wonder what kind of place they came from."
"Could it be they know some secret to cultivate much faster?" Wuxan could not help but say, who was also called over.
"If I were to guess, it has something to do with the Divine Stream Lake you found before." Kayla, on the other hand, was calm.
"How come?"
"Simple," Kayla replied. "Only after they found the Divine Stream Lake did they get that boost in cultivation. They're already in their late thirties. If their cultivation had always been this fast, they wouldn't just be Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. They would be far above it, perhaps even reaching the Elemental Transformation Realm."
Everyone went silent after hearing that until Kayla finally continued, "Don't talk about it anymore. The Divine Stream Lake is gone, and we don't know where the next one will appear. No one knows. Besides, we're already asking them a favor from them to try and get a Divine Vein for us. Let's not pry into their secrets, as I really don't want to lose their support. First of all, we're not the type of sect that does anything regardless of the outcome. As long as they don't mean any harm to our sect, we won't do anything to them."
Cynthia and the others nodded with serious expressions. "Yes, Sect Master!"
Time began to pass in a flash as the twins' group occupied themselves with their own things. Contrary to Roan's imagination, no one appeared to ask more about their breakthroughs. He only heard a few congratulations, and that was about it. In any case, he was satisfied with the sect's approach regarding that issue.
Eventually, the day of the assembly arrived, and Kayla gathered the group that would participate in it. "Whether you're ready or not, I don't care. There's no turning back now. Let's go!"
