Death… And Me

Chapter 3107  Sudden Visit

Due to his Transition Realm cultivation, Dancio was able to defend in time. He also pushed Kuslau to his back and prevented Kuslau from receiving too much damage. Too bad that Weapon Intents aren't don't have form, so Kuslau was still injured quite a bit by Rean's Sword Intent.

Rean only released his intent for a second, quickly stopping before he destroyed the room he was in. "I'm getting the hang of this thing. Before, I would have destroyed this room, but now only some damage was left behind. Sure enough, the Fifth Stage of Sword Intent is extremely overbearing."

"Fifth Stage..." Kuslau and Dancio had little time to think about their injuries. They had never expected Rean to show them the Fifth Stage of a Weapon Intent.

Still, Dancio knew it was the real deal. After all, he also went to the other planet when the Fifth Stage Spear user from the Divine Realm made his demonstration. Rean's Fifth Stage of Sword Intent wasn't anywhere near as refined as the Spear Intent Dancio felt in the past, but it was definitely at the same level. "How...?"

Kuslau had another question. "Does that mean Diliy of the World Splitting Sect..."

Rean nodded. "Yes. Diliy can also use the Fifth Stage, but I reckon he is the only one. I wouldn't spread this news, though."

Dancio clearly understood why. "He wants to keep it for the next Millennial Divine Werdlem Stone Competition, right? If I reveal anything about his Sword Intent, I would create a very powerful enemy to my Gondel Clan." He was already no match to Diliy before, let alone now. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yes," Rean confirmed. "Diliy asked me to not let anyone know about it." Well, in fact, it was Roan who asked Diliy to not tell anyone... "However, I had already made my promise to Master Kuslau and you, Senior Dancio, so I couldn't hide it. I beg you, though. DO NOT let anyone know about Diliy's real power. I wouldn't be surprised if Diliy became the strongest Transition Realm cultivator on this planet."

"I understand," Dancio answered without thinking twice.

Kuslau had his doubt, thinking it wouldn't be good for the clan. "But master, hiding this information from the clan..."

Dancio stopped him. "It is exactly because we don't want our clan to fall into trouble that we can't tell anyone. This is not only for the future of the clan, but also related to my bid for the position of Clan Master in the future. Later, we might even use this to get Diliy's help instead. Revealing it now will not give us any benefit."

"I'm happy senior Dancio understands," Rean spoke, satisfied. Right after, he raised his Sword again. "So, do you want to feel it again?"

Dancio stopped him. "No. First, I want you to tell us everything you understand about the Fifth Level. I know that Intents are a personal thing, but other's insights are also helpful. That's why we allowed you to go to Diliy."

Rean smiled, and the trio left the room, going to Dancio's residence this time. Of course, Rean changed his appearance again. There, Dancio had a huge spatial manipulated area he used for his own cultivation and training that couldn't be seen from outside. Rean began explaining how they would first need to reach the Advanced Stage Four of Sword Intent. He gave the two several examples and demonstrated that same Advanced Level. Without reaching that, it would be impossible to go to the next level.

Of course, Rean also commented about how it was possible to absorb someone else's sword intent. But he made sure Dancio and Kuslau understood the side effects of such a method and that they most likely would never succeed through it. After all, it would reach a point where they would need other Sword Intent users at the Advanced Stage Four of Sword Intent to make any progress. There was a very, very big chance that it would be impossible to reach Stage Five without absorbing a real Stage Five Sword Intent as well.

Neither Kuslau nor Dancio thought about doing such a thing after hearing about the problems that accompanied the absorption method. In the Divine Realm, however, it was probably possible since there were bound to be many Fifth-Level Weapon Intent users, something pretty much nonexistent here.

Rean spent his next days with Dancio and Kuslau, helping however he could. He even had a few battles with both guys. As one can imagine, the Late Stage Soul Transformation Realm Rean was already much stronger than Kuslau and his Saint Realm cultivation. Rean could even fight Elemental Transformation Realm enemies and most likely win, depending on the opponent. Dancio was especially shocked to see he didn't need to suppress his cultivation to Rean's level but just a single realm instead. And when Rean used his Fifth Stage Sword Intent, Dancio only managed to fight on equal terms when going all out. The jump im pure strength alone was just ridiculous...

Finally, Rean sheathed his sword, ending his teaching. "Master Kuslau, Senior Dancio, this is as much as I can tell you. From here onwards, you can only rely on yourselves. I won't lie. Chances are you will never reach Stage Five. Diliy's elders are also on the back foot, and they are both pure Sword Cultivators, even more than you two. As for Diliy... he is truly a sword genius within geniuses and far between. I doubt you can find more than a handful of people in this entire world who can compare to him with any weapon, not only swords."

Kuslau also put his sword away. After these few days, he did improve a lot, but he was still far from Advanced Stage Four, let alone Stage Five. "What about you?"

Dancio did the same. "Are you thinking about leaving?"

Rean nodded. "I have many things to do. I only returned because of my promise to Master Kuslau. That's all. I will pay a visit to you again in the future, but I don't know how many years it will be."

Dancio narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should just force Rean to stay.

However, Kuslau put his hand on Dancio's shoulder and shook his head. "Master..."

In the end, Dancio sighed. "I still want to know many things, especially how you have so all this knowledge. I wonder if you are some old monster who robbed this body of yours or if you found a way to circumvent the reincarnation blockage of this Universe, keeping your memories. In any case, you did fulfill your word, so I won't stop you. I will look forward to when you come to pay a visit next time."

Rean smiled. "I definitely will, and I will bring a few gifts with me before I leave for good."

Rean turned around, intending to leave the enclosed space. However, before he could do it, one of Dancio's subordinates suddenly entered in a hurry. "Master! This is bad!"

Dancio didn't look very pleased. "Didn't I say that no one could enter this place?! You better have a very, very good reason to get in here. Otherwise..."

The subordinate quickly kneeled down, seeming frantic. "It's... It's the Queen! She and a bunch of elders from the Rusbav, as well as Elder Willot and other elders of the Clan, are all outside!"

"This..." Dancio's rage immediately disappeared. "What is happening here?!"
