《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
The moment Elder Droman achieved his breakthrough, All Nascent Soul and above level experts in tens of thousands of kilometers noticed his presence. One must understand that Soul Transformation Realm experts are extremely rare in the Country of Jialin. Even put the Sects and the Royal Family experts together, the total number doesn't reach 10! No one could tell why they could feel that, though. It has always been a mystery.
Dalamu Sect had only Mia since her Master, the hidden ancestor, is in the realm above. The Royal Family has two. The other Sect that also has two is the Lagan Sect. As for the other three sects, they only have one each! Droman has just become the 9th one here.
To make a comparison, if you take vagrant cultivators, clans, sects, the royal family, etc., there are more than 500 Nascent Soul Realm Experts in Jialin Country alone! That shows just how difficult it was to become a Soul Transformation Realm in a place like Jialin. It is not a matter of not having enough Spiritual Energy. No, far from that! It is a matter of the soul, a matter of understanding your own path. Few can really tell what their real paths are. Most Nascent Soul Experts will die before ever finding it out.
Of course, all the sects and the royal family have their own hidden ancestors that no one knows about. Mia's one is a good example. We are talking about those who surpassed the Soul Transformation Realm. No one knows exactly at what level they are since they left the ordinary cultivation world affairs behind a long time ago, secluding themselves. It was to the point that no one knew who was still alive and who was dead. Because of that, no one counted those long-forgotten monsters. Unless their backgrounds reached a life and death situation, they would not emerge from their nests.
Elder Droman noticed what happened to him and was speechless. He had been a Formations Master for almost as long as he was a cultivator. He did think that his path would probably have something to do with it as well. However, even after this long working with it, he didn't feel like the Soul Transformation Realm door was opening at all.
It was only today, during this breakthrough, that he understood what he was lacking the most. It was not only the Formations themselves, but the challenge of seeking something new that has never been used before. Droman had created several formations in the past. However, he knew that formations like those ones already existed. It's just that he had never put his hands on their blueprints before.

Because of that, even though he created them himself, he had never made anything that he could call 'original and challenging.' Of course, the previous communication formations that he made so far could also somewhat be considered original and new. However, he didn't feel the least bit of a challenge making them. The very first one only took him around an hour to create. Where was the hurdle in that?
But today, while Droman discussed this new Router Formation, he realized one thing. The Router Formation was everything he ever wished for! The complexity, the applications, the changes it could bring to the world, not to mention that Spiritual Energy was only used as fuel. Instead, electricity was what would move the entire thing. Above all, the difficulty! It was as if his soul had always waited for this specific formation to appear in front of him.
It was so perfect that Droman wondered if it could be called fate. His soul pierced through the bottleneck of the Soul Transformation Realm as if it didn't even exist! If Droman hadn't been stuck for over 100 years a the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn't even say that there was a bottleneck there to start with. After all... he broke through without even trying! It was completely spontaneous!
"Cough, cough... Elder Droman... if I offended you somehow... cough, cough... I will apologize..."
Right after, Rean passed out before he could even think about using his Life Style Skills.
It was then that Droman noticed a white-haired boy stuck on his room's wall with a pale ghost face. Not only that, but he was bleeding all over! Behind him, the wall caved into the shape of a human. It looked more like the scene of a terror movie. It's just that Rean wasn't dead yet. As for the rest of the room's furniture, they had all been broken into pieces...
Because his breakthrough was so sudden, he didn't prepare a place in advance. The burst of Spiritual Energy that came from his body was not aimed at anyone, but it still carried the power of a Nascent Soul Expert. If Rean hadn't defended himself and jumped back in the last second, he would have definitely died!
"Ah!"
Droman face turned as pale as Rean himself. Rean's shape was so terrible that he thought Rean could die at a moment's notice. If Rean really died here, he would never be able to forgive himself. The boy was the reason he finally crossed the threshold that held almost all Nascent Soul Cultivators in place. To thank the boy, he killed him. How ridiculous would that be?

Not to mention that Mia would skin him alive! She might turn him into the Soul Transformation Realm cultivator to have lived the shortest between all those that had ever existed.
"Boy! Don't you dare to die on me!"
He rushed to Rean's side and used his Spiritual Energy to protect Rean's organs. Only then did he slowly remove Rean from the wall. Almost all of Rean's bones were broken. If Droman tried, he could make Rean contort into shapes that a human shouldn't be able to at the moment.
He immediately took the best healing pill he had and fed to Rean too.
A few moments later, several figures appeared inside Droman's room. Obviously, they were the Core Sect Elders who were all at the Nascent Soul Realm. Also, Mia was there too.
Mia looked at Rean's condition and then at Droman, who was holding him. Obviously, her expression turned terrible to watch.
"Droman, care to explain?"
Mia said that as the bones on her hands made cracking sounds. Anyone can that that she couldn't be more enraged.
Droman felt like crying but had no tears!
'It was not on purpose, it was not on purpose at all! Please, trust me!'
Hard to do that when you look at the situation at hand.
Finally, everyone calmed down as Droman used a Spiritual Sense Message to tell them what really happened.
Elder Tiria, who was also there, was the first to talk.
"So, you really did breakthrough into the Soul Transformation Realm."
Everyone then looked at Mia, who was the only other Soul Transformation Realm in their Sect.
"It's true, I can feel that his cultivation reached the Initial Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Seems like you succeeded in finding your own path."
She then approached Droman and Rean and looked at the fainted white-haired boy.
"Still, I don't know whether I should say he is lucky or unlucky. He got a Soul Transformation Realm to owe him a life-changing favor, but he almost died for that."
Droman bitterly smiled as he kept pouring his Spiritual Energy into Rean's body, trying to stabilize his condition. Mia joined him too and sent a wave of Water Element and Spiritual Energy into his body. Elder Tiria and the other also got close to take a look and offered a few healing pills as well to help him. Finally, with everyone working together, Rean woke up once more. Of course, his condition was still terrible. The moment he came to himself, a wave of pain assaulted his entire body.
"Holy Mommy! This hurts like hell!"
Mia saw that and called his attention.
"Stopping wasting time and concentrate on your injuries. We don't have all day to take care of kids."
Only then did Rean notice all the famous figures around him.
"This..."
However, due to the pain, he decided to ask questions later. He immediately checked his condition and sighed in relief. He really looked bad, but there was no permanent damage that couldn't be healed by his skills.
Right after, all the surrounding Light Element began to converge inside Rean's body.
'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'
Rean then locked most of the Light Element inside and began his fast recovery.
Of course, that made all the elders open their eyes wide! They could see with their Spiritual Sense that all Rean's bones mended back together in a matter of seconds. His organs' injuries healed, and the outer ones closed without leaving a single scar behind. If not for the fact that Rean's clothes were in tatters and there was blood all over, no one would be able to tell that he was close to being dead a few seconds ago.
'Isn't this Light Element way too overpowered?'
Rean then got up and stretched a little.
"Phew... I thought I was going to die. Elder Droman, if you feel it is too hard to understand what I said, you don't need to hit me to make me stop talking. Just ask me, and I will take my time making things easier for you to learn."
Droman almost vomited blood!
'Didn't understand your head! It's because I understood it so well that it happened, idiot!'
Of course, he wouldn't burst out in front of all the other elders and especially Mia.
"Ahem... Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Only then did he proceed to tell Rean what really happened through a Spiritual Sense message.
Rean, of course, was taken aback by that.
"Now... that's surprising. Congratulations... I guess..."
