Chapter 823: Alliance to Hide the Real Reason (1/2)

Back inside Zule's body, Krune and Iem heard about Reril and True Spirits. Unlike Wisps, True Spirits were considered extremely rare and talented. Every single force in the Godly Path Realm would like to have one in their ranks. However, no one heard about Reril entering the Nascent God Realm at all. After all, no reports were made about any tribulation clouds in the Energy Sect.

”Nice to meet you, Reril. I've never seen you in person... or in True Spirit Form, I guess. My name is Rag, just a humble person who likes to cook.”

Reril smiled in response as he replied.

”Nice to meet you too, Rag. It's good to see that someone else other than me has finally achieved the Nascent God Realm on our planet. To be honest, I've never heard about a Peak God Core Realm cultivator going by your name before. It seems like the Sky Shifting Sect has kept you well hidden.”

Rag laughed after hearing that.

”Hahaha! It's not that I was hiding on purpose, but it's just that I was never the least bit interested in the power struggle. You see, I'm a Spiritual Chef, so I only care about improving my cooking skills. I still don't know what my beloved wife saw in a simple man like me.”

Franlia couldn't help but show a rare tinge of red on her face.

'It's exactly because you don't care about these things that I like you, idiot!'

Of course, she didn't say those words out loud.

However, she quickly came back to herself and asked.

”How come no one knew about your cultivation, Reril?”

Reril shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

”That's because I went somewhere else to have my breakthrough. You see, I have a few connections, so I got a safe place to pass through it. After that, I came back and resumed my duties as the Energy Sect Leader. That's all.”

Reril then looked at Binmia, Aragan, and the two other elders of the Three Peaks and Flower River Sects. However, he ignored them before returning his attention to Rag.

”Well, I just came here because I was curious about who the Nascent God was. Now that my curiosity has been satisfied, it's time to go back. Until we meet again.”

Reril then opened a Spatial Gate and left before anyone could say anything.

Of course, the situation wasn't over just because of that. Rag looked at Binmia's group as well and began to speak.

”You see? There's no way I can take control of the planet just because I'm a Nascent God. Reril's also there, so such a thing is not possible. Then again, I don't think I'm Reril's match at all. Even if he was still in the Peak of the God Core Realm, I'm pretty sure I would lose in a battle against him anyway. It's not like you guys don't know how terrifying True Spirits can be. They aren't called Heaven's Miracle for nothing.”

Aragan narrowed his eyes as he said.

”Then, what do you want? Are you telling us that you will just let us be now that you have the upper hand? Once you recover from your breakthrough, we will be at your mercy, so we might as well end it now.”

Rag shook his head as he looked at Franlia. Understanding his meaning, Franlia came out of the Sect's Protection Formation.

”We don't intend to end your sects. Truth be told, our planet has quite a few Peak God Core Realm cultivators and demon beasts. It's just a matter of time until more of them begin to appear. Even you two, Binmia and Aragan, are already at the peak as well. Everyone just needs their own spark to pass the threshold.”

”That being said, it would be idiotic to start conquering other sects or clans. After all, you will only make their high-level God Core forces run and bide their time before they come back. Once that happens, no one knows what could happen, other than the fact that you would have many unnecessary enemies. Don't think we don't know you have your own methods to run away if we force your hands. That's not what we want.”

Binmia knew that Franlia's logic was correct. Nevertheless, would one really give up increasing their power and influence just because of that? Breaking through the Nascent God Realm was easier said than done. One could see it from just looking at the hundreds of Peak God Core Realm cultivators that existed on this planet, but only two Nascent Gods had appeared so far.

Franlia then smiled.

”Of course, we won't let you off the hook for free.”

Aragan and Binmia bitterly smiled.

'There it comes. What do they want from us? Ownership of the entire Top Quality Godly Energy Veins?'

Franlia continued.
