A day later, in the Heavenly Protection Sect, the three Semi-Divinity Realm cultivators had just returned. Caio, the one who fought Krune, went straight to Walto Darikan to report about what happened while they were attacking Jilan. As ntioned before, Walto is the Sect Master of his Heavenly Protection Sect.
Caio quickly arrived at the room where the Sect Master stayed. However, he soon noticed that there was so movent inside. As one of the elders in the sect, he was guaranteed passage, though. Of course, with his 7th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm, he was only a low ranked elder.
Once inside, he noticed that Walton was acting extrely respectful. The reason for that was a group of youths at the center of the room. Caio quickly approached another elder he was acquainted with to ask what was happening.
"Oh, you won't believe it. Those kids over there are mbers of the Celestial Organization of our territory."
Caio was taken aback.
"For real?! What people like them are doing in our sect?"
The elder then replied.
"It happened a week ago while you were out preparing that trap of yours. It seems like he was passing through our city with his own group. Sect master heard about it and went out to welco them. From the looks of it, his group is out to gain experience."
Caio understood. Beings of the Celestial Organizations are rarely seen. However, it is true that their young ones would usually go out. Caio obviously decided to wait for them to finish talking before reporting his issue.
"Young Master Erven, would you really do that for us? Wouldn't your Celestial Sky Organization be angry if you intervened in our affairs?"
Walton received a ssage from Gavei of the Green Talon Eagle Race while he was entertaining these youths. Erven heard that, so he offered his help. Now, it just so happened that Caio arrived while they were discussing it.
Erven then shook his head.
"As I said before, we are out to gain experience. That being said, our elders want us to get involved in the things that happen in our territory. Only those above the Divinity Realm are prohibited from ssing with you guys. Since such a good opportunity just appeared, I might as well participate."
Erven was at the 8th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm. However, Walto was able to see his training with his Sect mbers. Even their strongest Semi-Divinity Realm couldn't hold more than a few moves. Not to ntion that Erven was obviously holding back. Also, the Celestial Sky Organization was mainly focused on Wind Elents and Laws, just like them. Having said that, Walton was more than happy to accept such an offer.
Suddenly, a mber of Erven's group stepped forward.
"Erven, that is not fair. We also want to participate in this race."
Erven narrowed his eyes after hearing that.
"Pordol, there is only a single vacancy for each power trying to enter this race."
Pordol, the guy who complained, imdiately shook his head.
"Didn't Walton say that several powers are taking part in it? The rest of us just need to ask those powers. If they have any doubt about our speed and powers, we can simply beat their best competitors. With our Celestial Sky Badge, none of them will refuse our offers after showing how much better we are."
Erven pondered a bit and then nodded.
"Very well. However, don't expect to hold back during this race. As the leader of this group, I have to show the example."
Pordol and the rest of the group laughed.
"That's great. We are not planning to hold back on you, either. As for the other competitors, they aren't worth our attention anyway."
Erven nodded and then looked at the rest of his group.
"Pordol, Trando, Xoen, and Larks. I will see you on the day of the competition then."
These other Celestial Sky Organization mbers were all in the 7th or 8th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm. Not to ntion that they were all similar in strength compared to Erven. That's why Erven was pretty excited to participate in this run against them. It was an excellent opportunity to show his power to the lower world and gain experience.
Of course, Walton was sad to hear that the other mbers would also help the other powers. However, that still ant that he had a one in a five chance of being victorious. Well, in fact, he felt like his chance was higher since their leader was helping his Heavenly Protection Sect.
Walton and Erven then discussed a few more things. After that, Walton told them which other organizations were taking part in it. Obviously, the other mbers of Erven's group imdiately departed after hearing it. An hour later, Erven also left and went back to the room that the Heavenly Protection Sect provided him. Only then did Caio co forward to report what happened.
"Hahaha! Who cares if you lost the Green Talon Eagle? First of all, that was only one of the attacks that we did to force their race to start the competition. However, Gavei already contacted us, telling us that we can start it anyti."
"I couldn't be more thankful to Gavei. It was just because he insisted that the competition needed to start in at most seven days that young master Erven decided to help. Otherwise, these mbers of the Celestial Sky Organization would definitely leave before it. Oh, right. I'm going now to talk with the other powers' leaders who will participate in this."
Caio couldn't help but ask.
"But Sect master, don't you think that this seven days limit is too coincidental? It happened right after we were defeated by that guy called Krune. Chances are that they ford an alliance with the Green Talon Eagle Race and will appear in this competition."
Walton didn't mind, though.
"Hmph! So what? Are they mbers of the Celestial Organizations? First of all, even if they are, we also have our own Celestial Organization mber in our group. That being said, we still have a higher chance of getting this Wind Essence Vein than we did in the past."
Caio had to admit that Walton was right.
"In that case, should we warn young master Erven? After all, there is a small chance that Krune and his friends are really hidden mbers of another Celestial Organization. Otherwise, I can't think about another reason for a 1st Stage Semi-Divinity Realm to trounce ."
Walton narrowed his eyes and pondered a bit.
"No, don't say anything. There might be a chance that young master Erven will give up this competition if he knows he is against another Celestial Organization disciple. After all, the four Celestial Organizations never clash against each other as far as we know. If he finds about it during the competition, we can just say that we didn't know about it. Not to ntion that we don't know if this Krune's group is really part of the Celestial Organizations or not. It will be the most foolish thing if young master Erven decides to not participate because of a mistake from our part."
Caio nodded. Losing a Celestial Organization ally at this point would definitely put them in a bad spot against the other powers that are after the Wind Essence Vein.
"Alright, I'll warn the other mbers of our group about it."
Walton nodded and let Caio leave. After that, he also left his sect to join the eting between the powers that will run for the Wind Essence Vein. Gavei, obviously, also went there.
anwhile, Krune was having a discussion with Iem and Sisan.
"Alright. Now we know that we are on a planet. Most likely, this Demon Beast had a Universe Foundation before. However, only this planet remained in the end."
Iem and Sisan nodded. After that, Sisan asked sothing that was bothering him.
"To go back outside the Silver Demon Core, we need to approach the Spatial Barrier of this foundation. However, this Celestial Protection Formation is covering the entire planet. How are we going to leave now?"
Krune smiled before saying.
"Don't worry, I already have a plan. It's just that I can't tell you about it since it is related to so of my own secret techniques."
Sisan finally let out a sigh of relief. As for what secret technique it was, he couldn't care less. As long as they can leave in forty days, he is more than satisfied.
"No wonder you two didn't seem worried about our situation."
Krune and Iem nodded.
The fact was that it wasn't Krune who had a plan, but Zule. He had already verified the Space around and told Krune that he could use his treasure power to open a passage that connects to the outside. Krune, of course, was surprised to hear that, so he asked how it was possible since Zule's treasure was still broken.
At that ti, Zule simply said that it was because the Space inside the Silver Demon Core is very fragile. So much that even his broken treasure would be enough to open the passage. Besides, he still rembers the spatial signature that the clusters attached to the Silver Demon Core outside have. He could use it as a beacon to open a passage directly there. Of course, he could not do such a thing outside the Silver Core, only here. That being said, Krune's group could spend their ti looking for things worth bringing back to the Sky Shifting Sect.
Suddenly, Jilan appeared in their room.
"Krune, Elder Gavei is calling you over. He said that the local of the competition has already been decided."
Finally, they would know what to expect during the race.
