'Since when did you notice?' Rean asked back through the communication device.
'Calina and I didn't need to think much to reach this conclusion. I mean, neither of us are anywhere near Roan, Kentucky, Celis, or your strength. We would just become a burden to you,' Qia explained.
Yet, Rean still found it shocking. 'But I thought you wouldn't care about any of that and still insist on coming with us.'
'Oh, come on!' Qia scoffed at Rean. 'I do love you, baby. However, I'm not that dependent. When we got separated from each other in the Realm of Gods, Calina, Zuo, and I survived just fine. We even escaped a mass search done by the entire demon beast race.'
'We've already spent a lot of time together. We even had Fay. However, if you and Roan don't do something about this separation of the universe, then we're all still fucked in the end. Calina and I are well aware that you and Roan will have much greater mobility and freedom if we are not around.'
Qia smiled in the end. 'Well, the only problem is that you'll have no one to go to bed with. Hahaha!'
Rean's mouth twitched slightly after that. 'I'm starting to think that I don't want to leave you behind anymore. Sex is way too good.'
'Shut up,' Qia answered jokingly. 'Now, I said what I had to say, so go and do your thing. Calina should have told Roan the same thing already.'
Rean nodded in response and called Fay closer so that they could talk. Just as Qia mentioned, Fay had been preparing to go out on her own for quite some time. She didn't do so until now because of Rean, really. 'Was it mother who convinced you, dad?'
Rean was going to shake his head but decided to nod in the end. 'She sure did. If she didn't open my eyes, I would have had you stay by my side forever. Yet, that can't be done. You might end up dying of old age if you don't reach the Soul Transformation Realm. You need to find your path.'
Fay was happy to hear Rean's words. One must remember that the lifespan of someone in the Nascent Soul Realm was 500 years, and there was no lack of cultivators in the Realm of Gods who didn't find their path at this time. Then again, that was the case for the majority. 'Yes, I want to take the chance that I'm still young to go out and find it myself. I trust in Uncle Roan's training beliefs.'
Rean pondered over it for a bit and then accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Soon after, he brought out two pills and stuffed them inside Fay's spatial ring. 'Here, something to help you if you ever get in a situation you can't escape from.'
Fay looked at the pills inside her spatial ring and was confused. She had never seen that kind of pill before. Not to mention pills with such great power emanating from them. 'What are these, dad? Some kind of forbidden pill to increase strength?'
Rean pondered in silence for a bit before nodding. 'Something along those lines, I guess. These are Void Shattering Pills that Roan concocted after he got the recipe. These are the only two Roan has ever made.'
It was true. Roan didn't want to use them, so he only concocted those two to test his alchemy skills. Obviously, they also had the power to clean and heal one's meridians. It's just that this ability wouldn't be of much use for Fay and Alen since they already had their meridians cleaned by Rean and Roan. Basically, everyone in the System Sect had gone through this process.
'Void Shattering Pills?!' Fay was taken aback. She had never thought she would see one of them. As mentioned before, these pills were of no use to demon beasts, so they were practically nonexistent in the demon beasts' territory. 'B-But, if I use it, I won't be able to enter dad's Dimensional Realm anymore.'
Rean shook his head. 'That's why I'm giving it to you. Roan imposed a condition for these pills to be used. You and Alen must find your path first. These pills make this process useless, but we don't think that's true. At the very least, Roan and I believe that finding our path was what made us so much stronger today. It wasn't just our techniques and equipment. Well, there'll be no lack of cultivators who will think otherwise. Roan himself didn't want you to even know he had concocted these pills.'
'I can imagine so,' Fay agreed with Rean. 'However, why two pills? Is there a need for two? Uncle Roan's pills have always been infallible.'
'The second pill is not for you but for Alen. However...' Rean sighed and didn't continue speaking.
How could Fay not understand? She knew her cousin as well as Rean. 'If he got his hand on one of these pills, he would completely ignore uncle Roan's condition and swallow it straight away. Just how much time cultivating would he save if he could head straight to the Void Tempering Realm, right? I know how that guy thinks.'
'So you know that Roan and I are sending Alen together with you, huh?' Rean added.
Fay didn't deny Rean's words. 'Mommy told me that. It has something to do with us both making up for each other's faults. I don't think I have any fault that guy can cover for me, though.' Fay obviously didn't seem to have a very good opinion of her cousin.
'Hahaha!' Rean couldn't help but laugh in response. 'Yeah, I don't think so either. But then again, I would feel a lot better if you and Alen went out to look for your path together. Look at Roan and me. We basically hate each other. However, we still realize that we're much, much stronger if we join forces to fight. Perhaps you two can reach a similar level of synergy. Besides, I need you to help protect that idiot, or he'll definitely die with that personality.'
Fay could only accept that. 'Fine. Perhaps it will lead me to my path as well.'
