Chapter 608 - Soul Purity

That was the last word Luna said before Roan's consciousness returned to his body. Following that, the same scene played again. The diagram on the person's forehead lit up before condensing a Rank Five Bloodline Mark, heading towards Roan's forehead before he could do anything. 

When he opened his eyes again, Roan saw Rean and Kentucky there.

Rean then laughed right after.

"My cute brother likes to put up a strong front, but he's very gentle!"

*Bang!*

Rean was laughing so much that he didn't see the moment when Roan kicked out. His body smashed against the wall where there wasn't anyone before sliding down.

"Fuck you! Do you know how bad it would have been if I didn't have Light Element Affinity?"

Roan snorted.

"You asked for it, so stop complaining."

Rean sighed and decided to let it go. Just Roan's reaction was more than good enough as payment.

Rean's expression then changed as he looked at the wall. No, to be more specific, he looked in the direction Luna pointed to.

"I can't let it go."

Roan snorted in response.

"Naive! Then how about all the human slaves we've seen until now? Are you also going to save them all?"

Rean gritted his teeth. He knew Roan was right, but...

Roan then closed his eyes and added.

"First, we need information."

Rean was taken aback as he looked at Roan. It was as if he had heard something wrong.

"Where's my brother? What did you do to him?"

A vein popped out on Roan's head as he asked.

"Seems like one kick wasn't enough, huh?"

"Cough, cough... Force of habit. Force of habit."

Roan made a few things clear, though.

"We don't have the power to save anyone at the moment. Whatever the place they're in, it's definitely protected like a fortress. Even using the Circuitry Teleport Formation won't be enough."

Rean understood what Roan meant.

"I know. Unlike the Bloodline Trial Grounds, I doubt that location has no one overseeing it. First of all, I would put so many detection formations and similar things there that we would be found the moment we put even one foot there."

Roan nodded as he said.

"Exactly. Simply put, we don't even have a smidgen of a chance of saving them. If we want to do something, we need strength for that. I'll be honest. Chances are that the girls we talked to today will have long been replaced by many others—the reason's simple. We need strength before doing anything else. Say, how many years, decades, or maybe even centuries do you think it will take us before we have a chance to do anything?"

Rean dropped his head in response. No wonder Roan said that he most likely wouldn't be able to do anything to Luna. It had nothing to do with wanting and not wanting to do something. Simply put, they were way too weak at the moment.

"But... we can't wait this long. How about this? We can use the Circuitry Teleport Formation to keep teleporting from one position to another, eventually reaching the girls' place. We just need enough Spirit Stones for it."

Roan shook his head as he made Rean realize what he was saying.

"Every time we use the Circuitry Teleport Formation, it will teleport us outside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Even if we stay outside for less than a second, we will still be found by whatever detection methods they have there other than Spiritual Sense. They might think that they were imagining things if it happens only once. However, it'll be totally different if we keep doing it without stopping while looking for the girls' location."

"In the end, they'll understand that we are after the girls and will mount a defense and trap us. Because of the difference in cultivation, we might and will probably get killed before we enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm after appearing there. I told you, without strength, we stand almost no chance if we attack or try to enter without being noticed."

Rean obviously didn't like that. But then again, this situation was similar to the human slaves so far. Rean had to ignore a lot of mistreatment so that their cover wouldn't be blown. The difference was that those humans probably wouldn't get killed, nor did they have to kill someone else. 

"It's so annoying..."

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"That's how things are. I did what you wanted and got the information necessary to at least start looking for them. However, we will not try attacking nor try teleporting inside. That would be just tantamount to suicide."

Rean nodded when suddenly, he noticed something. Roan mentioned before that they needed to find more information after he came out of his illusion. Why would they need that if they were many years away from being able to try anything? It was then that he noticed...

"Stealth infiltration is out of the question. Unless these Zasfins are idiots, there's no way we can get past all the defensive measures that will be put in that place. Attacking is even more out of the question. We aren't talking about Nascent Soul Realm enemies, but Soul Transformation and most likely Saint Realm Zasfins. Who knows? There might even be some Elemental Transformation Realm Zasfins guarding it."

Roan agreed with him.

"Exactly. None of these methods are feasible."

Roan then continued.

"That's why we will be invited inside."

Soul Purity! Those were the words that would most likely bring them in. Rean and Roan didn't need to attack nor stealthily infiltrate the place. They can have the Zasfins themselves do the job for them. All they needed was to be noticed.

Rean immediately contacted the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

'Sister Orb, you mentioned before that our souls are perfect thanks to the Soul Gem System, right?'

[I thought you'd never ask. Yes, your souls will be untaintable as long as the Soul Gem System exists. If Soul Purity is really what those Zasfins need, then there's no better material in this world other than you two.]
