Chapter 105 - Departure (2/2)
”Stop eluding from the main point.” Simon interrupted.
”Fine. I will say it.”
”Reaper Guild found out about our guild's resurrection. We are in a race against time to rebuild our strength. If we do not have everyone above the Established Immortal stage. Currently, only Black Rose is above Established Immortal, so we are screwed if we don't do something soon.”
”So how do you know our vice-leader is in the higher realm I'm going to?”
”She logged in. It's just that she is in a tight spot. Shi is currently in the custody of an empire which we cannot deal with at the moment. Since you were the only guild member that woke up in a middle realm, we need you to rescue her.”
”Aren't you strong enough?”
”Actually, you are already on par with everyone but Black. I don't know what you did, but you are a rocket. If you can keep this up and ascend past the Established Immortal stage, we might be able to defend the guild.”
”Just tell me the deadline to get the vice-leader.”
”You have 10 years. This might not seem like a lot of time, but I trust that with your abilities, anything is possible.”
”For the first two year, it will just be me and you. After that, the guild will come over to help. We are just that far stretched…”
”Is there anything I should know?”
”Ah… yes! In that realm, they refer to Visionary as Qi-refining and Magician as Foundation Building. And that means that you're considered on the same level as an inner sect elder of a medium sized sect.”
”You've certainly done your research to make this easier to understand.” Simon gave Blue a warm complement.
”And beyond is Core formation, which is your stage, then Nascent Soul, and Immortal. Immortal is equivalent to Established Immortal. We just need to get to the peak of the stage and then we can come back with Black and break through.”
'So a cultivation novel? Oh please.'
”Give me a moment. We have a minute left so I might as well tell my family and my disciples that I need to go now. As you said earlier, they will need a way to follow after me later, so please arrange for it now.”
”No, we don't have time for that. I will just throw a letter at the door to explain that you will be waiting for them. We really don't have any time, Grey. Vice-leader is waiting for us and our guild is in dire-”
Simon stepped forward and placed his index finger on Blue's lips.
”Hush. When I say I need to say goodbye to my family and disciples, I mean I will SAY GOODBYE. As much as Rose Guild is important to me, family comes first.”
Simon disappeared and reappeared next to the happily chatting Malece and Dahlia.
”Darling, when did you get here?”
Simon did not respond, instead opting to embrace his family before saying a word.
”I will be going ahead of you so I can complete some very important work. I understand that we might not see each other for perhaps a month or more, but please remember that I care.”
Malece did not know whether any of these kind words were meant for her or just for Dahlia. However, she did not care too much. The warmth was enough for her to feel content.
”Dad, do you have to go?” Dahlia asked.
”I have to.”
”Dad will always love you, Dahlia. Remember, this will only be a month or so. Just come find me when you are ready, everything is prepared-”
Simon finally disappeared for good.
