Roan had to admit Rean's words made sense. 'If that's the case, then we don't need to worry about running out of Divine Origin Energy. Although I don't know how it's generated.'
Rean pondered in silence for a bit before saying, 'In fact, it might run out of Divine Origin Energy. That's why you can only stay a week in this place and have a limited number of participants who can enter. We have to help release some of the pressure of this place as whatever's controlling it can't do it by itself. Perhaps it's also a bad idea to not have enough Divine Origin Energy running.'
Roan then looked at Celis before looking back at Rean. 'Whatever. We would never make this place run out of Divine Origin Energy, even with Celis's absorption power. As fast as Celis can be compared to cultivators at his level, he could only absorb as much as two or three Transition Realm cultivators. We have way more Transition Realm cultivators here than that. Also, a few of them have already broken through into the Middle Stage after they reached this place.'
Of course, Roan was talking about the top ten powers' disciples who came to the Divine Plane when they were at the door of the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm. With almost one day gone, all of them had already performed their breakthroughs into the Middle Stage. Roan could count at least ten or so in that situation, not to mention the others with lower cultivations who had also achieved their breakthrough. It's just that the others were still behind Celis in terms of absorption power.
'Not to mention that in the past, this place probably had situations where more Transition Realm cultivators than normal arrived here after the selections. There's no way we can make it run out of Divine Origin Energy if it had never happened in the past,' Roan concluded.
Rean could only agree with Roan's assessment. 'I was just thinking that perhaps this had something to do with what that little girl said. In any case, let's continue cultivating.'
And just like that, Rean's group continued to cultivate. Surprisingly, Roan was right in the end. Three-quarters of a day was enough for the twins to reach the limit of the Initial Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. With the help of the Yin and Yang Cultivation Manual, they had a perfect and easy breakthrough into the Middle Stage.
By now, the other cultivators were already looking at them with jealousy. Anyone could tell that it was thanks to that Demon Tree that the twins' group was cultivating this fast. Only one day and a quarter had passed, but they had already advanced to the next realm and jumped one more stage. Little did they know that if Celis was alone, he probably would be at the Late Stage Eight level by now. However, he had to share his acquired Divine Origin Energy with Rean and Roan.
He wasn't sad because of that, though. If not because of the twins, chances are that he would still be locked in that underground facility on the Zasfins' planet. Not to mention that he got his own Divine Demon Bird, which had been nothing but a dream in the past.
The twins then continued to absorb Divine Origin Energy with Celis and Kentucky as they quickly calculated that they would need a day and a few hours to reach the bottleneck between the Middle and Late Stages. One must not think that it's that easy, though. Divine Origin Energy was supposed to be only present in Rank Seven Divine Stones or above. Then again, the current situation was as if the twins' group had been cultivating with those kinds of Divine Stones nonstop.
They weren't the only ones, of course. More and more breakthroughs happened all around them. They might not be as fast as Celis, but many of those cultivators arrived here ready to have their first breakthroughs. Two days and a half had passed already, so it was to be expected that they also got another breakthrough. If the twins' group had been at the door of the Elemental Transformation Realm when they arrived, they probably would be at the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm by now.
It wasn't a problem, though. As Celis mentioned, each consecutive stage increased the amount of Divine Origin Energy he could absorb at once. It wasn't as drastic as ascending to another realm, but it increased nevertheless. Close to the end of the third day, almost one day and a half after their breakthrough to the Middle Stage, the twins broke through once again, reaching the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. If they get just one more breakthrough, they would have accomplished an entire realm upgrade.
At this point, Roan paid close attention to the faint light that protected their bodies. Seeing how much it had disappeared already, he warned his group. "Pay attention. The protection of the light barrier will last for another two days or so. From the looks of it, this protection energy was made so it would really last exactly six days, leaving only one extra day to try anything against the others."
Hurio nodded in response. "Indeed. I also noticed this point." Hurio had just reached the Middle Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Sure enough, even with his Energy Elemental Affinity, he was already an entire stage behind the twins' group. One must remember that he was ahead of the twins when they first met. "Two days... that should be enough for me to reach the Late Stage. I was still in the Late Stage of the Saint Realm when I arrived. I've never thought I would break through an entire realm during this adventure."
From what Rean could see, two days was more than enough for his group to reach the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. "The question is, do we want to give up our last day in this place or risk staying? Look at the other cultivators from the top ten powers. I believe you all noticed that they look anything but happy with our presence here."
As soon as Rean said that, a burst of Divine Origin Energy came from one of those very same cultivators.. The first guy to reach the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm had appeared, and he still had a little over three days to try and break through into the Void Tempering Realm.
