During these past five years, a lot happened to the twins and the others. The first thing was their cultivation. They had now entered the Late Stage of the Transition Realm. Then again, that was pretty obvious since five years had gone by.
Naturally, Celis and Kentucky also entered the Late Stage of the Transition Realm. In fact, it was quite risky for Kentucky since he had to control his father's blood breaking his bloodline seal and the breakthrough itself. However, he was lucky enough that during the breakthrough, his father's Divine Sense and the sentience inside were still around. It's just that the sentience was very, very close to disappearing.
Now that five years had gone, it meant that three and a half years had passed since Kentucky started to slightly lift the seal on his bloodline. Ume's sentience and Divine Sense in the feather have already disappeared.
With that said, the feather remained. Kentucky found out that his father's feather was many times more resistant than his own, so he decided to keep it. Perhaps Rean could create something good with that.
Another thing that happened during these five years was that Kentucky's feather crown disappeared. Well, to be more specific, Kentucky's feather crown had been cut. According to Ume, that feather crown might catch unnecessary attention. After all, Minokawas were not supposed to have them. Someone might relate it to Kentucky being a Regal Minokawa. Well, Kentucky knew it would simply grow back with time, so he would have to pay attention to cut it down regularly.
Back in the System Sect, the sect's cultivators got a lot stronger, especially the ones who succeeded in their Soul Transformation breakthrough. The main one was obviously Luan, who was now 21 years old. He continued with his method of not forcing speedy breakthroughs, and instead, he trained regularly with the strength he had. Because of that, Luan's cultivation only increased in two stages. Now, he was at the Peak Stage of the Saint Realm.
In any case, Luan's cultivation progress was definitely many times faster than the twins. It's just that it was mainly due to the twins' resources and the fact that he was in the Realm of Gods to start with. He never had to use Spiritual Energy or cultivate it in the Mortal Realm. Last but not least, his dantian didn't need as much Divine Energy as the twins did. It made sense for him to be this fast, even if he was holding back.
However, a good thing happened for him during this time. He finally gathered enough Starlight Energy to break through to the Second Grade Star Body. With that, Roan had to increase the strength he used during the spars, although he was obviously stronger at the same level.
As for the twins' Starlight Body cultivation, it was progressing smoothly. From what Sister Orb deducted, they only need another five or so years before they would accumulate enough Starlight Energy to have their fourth breakthrough, the Fourth Grade Star Body. One must remember that the twins already had the item necessary for the breakthrough, the Freezing Star Liquid.
It went without saying that the rest were also doing very well. Ophilia was only eight years old back then. Now, she was thirteen. With the careful management of the sect, her cultivation increased steadily. She almost cultivated an entire realm, now being in the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. In the case of her sword intent, she consolidated her Sword Ethereability, which was the second level. It's just that no one knew how long it would take for her to reach the third level, Call of the Weapons.
The rest who had weapon intents were doing just as great. Leonardo had already reached the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Foxin and Tatiana, who were both in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, made their way up to the Peak Stage as well. They just needed to find what their paths were. Of course, there was also their weapon intents. Unlike Luan and Ophilia, their weapon intents were still in the first stage. Fortunately, they were drawing even closer to the second stage.
There were a lot more things to be mentioned about the System Sect. However, since the twins wouldn't be leaving the Jhiod Sect until eleven years were up, the sect still had a lot to change. There were still six years before they took the teleport formation. Besides, it's not like Roan's army would stop growing even after that. If anything, there would be even more Divine Energy at the center of the Realm of Gods. One must remember that the amount of Divine Energy in the Dimensional Realm was always around 50% higher than outside, thanks to Celis.
The last thing the twins acquired was another 32412 Destiny Points. In the end, even though they hadn't left the Jhiod Sect since they arrived, just sparring with the Yume Clan's people had changed a lot of things. Not to mention that the destiny of the people they recruited to the System Sect was also in constant change because of them. Well, that left the twins with 407395 Destiny Points, quite a ways from the 500000 they needed for the next Dimensional Realm Upgrade.
"So, Celis, what is it that you intend to do?" Returning to the present time, Rean asked Celis about his idea.
Celis, in his human form, shrugged his shoulders, saying, "It's very simple. We can have Philip or one of the high-level experts in his command bring me to Astonkay Country in the Vulrasic Continent. My own presence isn't really that necessary, so Philip and Libraia shouldn't have an issue with it. Besides, I can also feel Kentucky's presence through our connection."
Rean and Roan had to admit that was a very good idea. "I see... This expert would also help save you and Kentucky in case something happens."
"I heard your plight!" Suddenly, a woman entered the room with a smile on her face. "Leave it to me. I can bring your Demon Bird back." It was none other than Libraia, the first one to learn a weapon intent in the Yume Clan.
