343 Three Slots (1/2)
Although many cultivators and demon beast were fighting for the Jade Slips, more than half of the groups without one didn't take part in it. First, because they weren't at the level that they could have a change of keeping it. And second, even if they did get a Jade Slip, they wouldn't be strong enough to protect it after.
As for the Jade Slips owners, only Uer wanted to take part in that fight. But he was stopped by Mino Jan. No one knows what Mino said to convince that maniac to stop from jump right in the middle.
Soon, the difference in power between the groups fighting became apparent, and the ones who knew that they weren't strong enough retreated. In the end, the last two Jade Slips found their new owners. Of course, it wasn't without casualties. In this exchange, over 30 cultivators and demon beasts died.
With everything resolved, the Jade Slip owners then approached the Spatial Gate and brought out their own. The gate counter then reached 18, and the seal started to fade away.
But at the same time, a new stream of information flowed into everyone's mind.
-Each Jade Slip Key is worth three slots. Once the Jade Slip holder selects his two companions, he may enter the gate. As for the inheritance acquired, that will depend on your luck.-
The Cultivators and Demon beasts' groups without a Jade Slip couldn't help but get angry.
”What about us? Are we to sit here and wait?”
”This is not fair, I came here for the inheritance, not just some resources!”
”I can't believe that I made this far for nothing!”
As if answering everyone's complaints, a new Spatial Gate appeared just beside the main one. There were no seals or anything like that. It was open for anyone who wanted to try. Rarol looked at that new gate and felt a chill on his back.
”This new gate... is no good.”
Krune's group immediately looked at him. If Rarol's instinct is saying so, then it most likely correct.
Krune looked back at his group members and then asked.
”So, how are we gonna do this? It doesn't seem like we have many choices.”
Ruik asnwered through a Divine Sense Message..
”Simple. You, Feifei, and Dilo will enter the main gate. You three make the strongest front that we have at the moment. The rest of us will enter the other one.”
Kruen and Feifei nodded. They know that although Rarol said that the new gate is dangerous, the main one is probably even more. That's because only the powerful ones will be entering the main gate this time. Not to mention that Krune and Feifei still don't know whose the other Major Divine Soul Owners are. But one thing was sure, they would definitely enter as well.
”Very well, I will tell you what we found inside once we get back.”
Dilo looked at Xankruan and got worried. But before he could ask to change team, Xankruan messaged him with her Divine Sense.
Dilo sighed and then nodded.
But just as Krune finished selecting their members, Joiu came forward to ask.
”Darten, can't you leave one of the three slots for me?”
Krune looked at him and then said.
”But you are still at the Peak of the Divine Soul Realm. I'm not looking down on you, but can you fight against those guys at the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm? My friend definitely can, and I have a reason to have Fina following us too.”
Jou smiled and then extended his two hands forward.
”You two, give me your hands for a second.”
Feifei and Krune looked at him puzzled but still touched on of his hands each.
Suddenly, the two of them felt a surge of life energy coming into their bodies. What impressed them was how pure, and at the same time, how concentrated it was. Both Krune and Feifei are already in the Divine Soul Realm and even know one Sub-Law of the Light Laws. But they wouldn't be able to do even 1/10 of what Joiu was doing.
They only needed a second to understand what was happening.
'Life Major Divine Soul!'
Krune and Feifei were also impressed by how long he concealed it. During all the battles they passed through, not even once had Joiu showed his real power. But one thing was sure, Joiu could already fight at the Soul Forging Realm level without using the power of his Life Divine Soul, so he would definitely be a lot stronger when he decides to do it.
Krune then talked with his group members through Divine Sense message, and they reached the conclusion that it was worth a try. Especially with someone like Uer out there.
Dilo was especially happy to be able to go with Xankruan, which made the later sigh.
Krune looked at Joiu and then nodded.
”Very well, you will be taking his place.”
This time, it was Joiu who got surprised. He thought that they would definitely take Fina out to put him, not the 3d Stage Soul Forging Realm guy. Joiu then decided to send Krune a Divine Sense message.
