Chapter 894: You Dare Look Down On Me? (1/2)

”Hmm?” The tiny ring spirit frowned as she looked around, flapping her wings as she flew from one place to another, swirling in the air for a couple of rounds before she returned on Cultivator's shoulder.

She then iterated her result, pointing in a certain direction as she told him, ”Once we escape in this direction, followed by a couple of turns, we'll arrive at a wider path. There might be some traffic in it since it's frequented by a lot of people.”

”I don't really wish to mingle with other people for now.” Cultivator frowned. ”Is there any narrow paths that would take us straight to the Sub-Realm?”

”You wish.” She rolled her eyes as she replied, ”There are some, but you need to travel at least 10 kilometers in this main path before you encounter one. Just you bulldoze your way through the main path. It's not as if anyone here can pose a threat to you.”

Seeing how confidently the ring spirit proclaimed it, Krune felt an intense thumping in his heart. It meant what he had sensed earlier was indeed true. Cultivator had truly reached an unimaginable level in strength.

He was assured because the tiny ring spirit seemed to be geared around the field of investigation since she used mysterious means to probe around their surroundings. This was the first time Krune came to witness an investigative approach apart from Divine Sense and one that didn't even leave out any traces of energy, not that one could sense them if it existed.

It was the same as his Mental Energy Scan. This time, he had discovered another similar one that no one else apart from the user knew and took advantage of. So, in the end, the ring spirit possessed a lot of knowledge. Plus, if it said no one in the region could face against Cultivator, then there might be truth to the statement.

”Until the day arrives when I can take on ten cultivators with Spiritual Incarnations and win the fight, I won't call myself strong.” Cultivator smiled as he looked at the ring spirit and said, ”Fine, we'll move through the main path for the time being.”

”Great, head through this route, then.” The ring spirit pointed towards the tiny gap between a couple of Predominated Vines. The gap wasn't even enough for one to see through the other side. The gap was just apparent thanks to the curvature of the vines.

The lady from before appeared at the scene, snorting as she looked at Krune before dashing towards the couple of Predominated Vines that was her target. She stood right before them, turning around to beckon for the two people to start running.

”Let's run and jump through like before,” Cultivator said while facing Krune, beginning to sprint the moment the other party nodded.

The two sprinted at their maximum speed as the lady spirit clamped her hands on the sides of the two Predominated Vines, exerting all her strength as she pushed them aside wide enough for a person to leap through.

Her figure vanished when Cultivator's figure flashed through her position, followed by Krune. Their collective leap took less than a second as they exited the crater. Upon noticing how the source of the Godly Energy disturbing them had vanished, the Predominated Vines didn't take any action and just readjusted themselves to their original position.

It seemed like they were vines that acted solely based on instinct. Also, their senses could only feel Godly Energy and physical touch. It was why they depended on the Mashed Serpents from time to time to locate their prey. Otherwise, they would just remain still for all their lives.

The moment they exited the crater, Krune anticipated the ground, only to not see anything that resembled it. It was entirely dark below. He quickly activated his Mental Energy Scan, probing around to see the depth of the canyon.

They were on a narrow path, one that was barely a meter wide. The canyon walls were at least 200 meters high from his current position. Krune extended his arms and applied pressure on the canyon walls on either side, using it to slowly reduce the momentum of his fall. Seeing how inefficient it was, he took out a pair of shields and slammed them into the walls, obtaining the ability to quickly reduce his downward momentum to a minimum.

He then retracted them as he landed on the bottom, causing a faint splash as his feet met water. There was a thin brook flowing at the bottom, barely possessing a width of 40 centimeters and a depth of 20 centimeters. It wasn't even big enough to be called a brook or a canal.

It was just a trickling stream of water. Krune gazed up to see Cultivator slamming onto the sides of the walls with his foot as he zigzagged his way to the bottom, muttering as he gazed up, ”Damn, the walls are at least 350 meters high. We're getting deeper into the canyon. It would reach a couple of kilometers by the time we reach its depths.”

”Where exactly is this Sub-Realm located? At the center?” Krune inquired.

Cultivator didn't say anything, directly looking at his ring spirit as he motioned her to speak.

The ring spirit fanned her face as she took in a deep breath, saying, ”It's not in the center of the Four Sectors' Border Region, geographically speaking. Though, it is the center of its origin. The Sub-Realm is located in the place the first Predominated Vine appeared.”
