Of course, Hurio had an idea that these four guys had something special to them. Their cultivations were simply too fast! “I don’t know how, but your cultivations must be connected in some way.” Eventually, he sighed, seeing the smile on Rean’s face while no words were coming out. “Sigh… whatever. I don’t have this advantage of yours, so I’m obviously not there yet. I’ll need at least another half a day to attempt my breakthrough.”
Rean and Roan nodded in response and tried to gather Light and Dark Elements with their Divine Soul Power. Sure enough, their ability to do that was at least twice as good in every aspect compared to the previous realm, not to mention that they had just entered the Elemental Transformation Realm. In any case, each breakthrough from this point onward would increase their control ability over the two elements even more. As a bonus, their ability to control Yin and Yang Energy would grow just as fast.
Hurio wasn’t the only one who noticed the twins’ breakthrough. After all, every time a burst of Divine Origin Energy appeared, it was because someone had done the same thing. In fact, the twins’ group wasn’t even the first one to do that. Another three cultivators, who were much closer to their breakthrough, had already done so. That’s how good Divine Origin Energy was for the cultivators. It’s just that it came as a surprise that Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and that Demon Tree that appeared out of nowhere broke through at the same time. That obviously caught more attention than the others.
Nevertheless, they knew what cultivation the twins had before. Now that the twins’ group had reached the Elemental Transformation Realm, nothing changed in their eyes. Everyone here was at the late stages of the Elemental Transformation Realm or already in the Transition Realm. Now that the twins’ group didn’t have the ancient beast on their side anymore, they simply had no need to fear them at all. It’s just that everyone was protected by that thin light barrier. Otherwise, some of them might have tried to kill the twins’ group already.
Roan didn’t care about what the others were thinking. Instead, he looked at Celis and Kentucky. He could see that those two had become a lot bigger after the breakthrough. Well, that’s how the cultivation of demon beasts and plants worked anyway. “We still have six and a half days ahead of us. Not to mention that the amount of Divine Origin Energy is not waning down at all. Compared to that area where we found some Divine Origin Energy, the same one where those two ancient beasts battled, this one is several times better.”
Rean agreed with him, saying, “With this much Divine Origin Energy and Celis’s help, I truly believe we can achieve at least two or three more breakthroughs. We might be speeding up our cultivation way too quickly with this, but we shouldn’t let the opportunity pass up.”
Celis and Kentucky obviously agreed with that, especially Celis. “Hmph! You’re underestimating me. Did you forget what race I’m from? I’m a World Swallowing Cedar! Every time I enter a new realm, my ability to absorb the world’s energy increases several folds. If you think I was cultivating fast before my breakthrough, then you’ll surely lose your minds right now.”
Suddenly, the one-kilometer area filled with roots that Celis spread quickly increased to encompass a two-kilometer radius! Obviously, that wasn’t the same as just double. When talking about radius, it meant the area around Celis. Suppose you take the area formed by the second kilometer and remove the area of the first kilometer from the second. The area formed by the second kilometer would look like a donut. Obviously, the area covered by that donut compared to the area from the first kilometer would be much, much bigger. That’s because for it to go full circle and form the donut, the distance doubled.
Now that Celis spread his roots over two kilometers, and with his own ability to absorb energy being improved due to the breakthrough to Stage Eight, he could absorb a lot more than just double the Divine Origin Energy than before.
Of course, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky also experienced improvements in their Divine Origin Energy absorption speed. It’s just that the amount of energy they needed for the breakthrough was much higher, so it would take longer for a breakthrough than before. Well, it’s the same for all cultivators. But then again… they had Celis and Divine Origin Energy!
Suddenly, the hair of a few cultivators, those who were closer to the twins’ group, began to move in a certain direction. That immediately caught those cultivators’ attention. “Wind? This place wasn’t supposed to have wind…”
It didn’t take long for them to see that it wasn’t the wind at all. Instead, it was Divine Origin Energy! The Divine Origin Energy was moving so fast in the air that it felt like wind. When they looked in the twins’ group direction, they could not help but widen their eyes and open their mouths!
Before, one of them would have to pay attention to see the whirlwind of energy coming in the direction of the twins’ group. This time, however, the thing looked more like a black hole… it’s just that there was no black color. In any case, the amount of Divine Origin Energy rushing towards that spot was ridiculously high. Was it even possible to absorb that amount of Divine Origin Energy without exploding?
For normal cultivators, that sure would be impossible. However, that wasn’t the case for the World Swallowing Cedar, especially one which had its own Divine Demon Bird nest. Let’s not forget that Celis was already a Peak Stage Nine Demon Tree before. His body was ready to accept all of that and still have space to go further.
Kentucky, Rean, and Roan had to cultivate together just to make up for the difference Celis proportioned. That meant that Celis absorbed Divine Origin Energy as fast as those three combined! Of course, even though Celis did that, the Divine Origin Energy was equally distributed between the four of them.
Seeing that, Hurio couldn’t help but ask, “Just… how long would you take to reach the Middle Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm?”
Roan pondered a bit as he looked inside his dantian before responding, “I guess one day should be enough.”
