Dandon City was the biggest one in the continent where Rean and Kentucky arrived. After finishing their breakthrough, they made their way there, and it was fairly easy to find as this continent had quite a lot more Transition Realm Demon Beasts than before. Void Tempering Realm ones were still quite rare, but they could still find them.
Dandon was obviously a place where they found quite a few of them. Yet, that mattered little since Kentucky and Rean's cultivation was vastly superior. By using Kentucky's bloodline again, they quickly caught the attention of the top Demon Beasts in the city, who came to receive them like Grinwe did in Yutika City.
"The Long Distance Teleport Formation?" A Demon Bird asked, a being at the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm.
Kentucky nodded. "We got information that you have it in this city. Don't worry about the price. We have more than enough to pay for the teleportation. We would like to teleport all the way to the Center of the Realm of Gods."
The Demon Bird knew that Rean and Kentucky were far stronger than him, so he was very polite. "We do indeed have such a Teleport Formation. However, sirs shouldn't underestimate the price. To use this teleport formation, at least Rank Seven Divine Stones are necessary."
Rean was already used to that. Back when he was in the humanoid territory, the Lond-Distance Teleport Formation that brought them to the Center of the Realm of Gods had to use Rank Seven Divine Stones as well. It is only natural that this one is the same. "No problem, we have it here. How many do you need?"
The Demon Bird was surprised but quickly recovered. "Since that's the case, the teleport fee is Thirty Rank Seven Divine Stones."
Rean quickly threw a Spatial Ring to the Demon Bird, which had exactly the number required. As for how Rean got those Stone, the answer was obvious. They got a long of Space-Time Realm experts killed in the Reactor Room back in the Spaceship. They simply took away their Spatial Rings. The only sad thing was that their Pocket Dimensional Realms were destroyed because of their owner's deaths. Otherwise, the twins would probably have a fortune now. Nonetheless, the things they found in the Spatial Rings included those Divine Stones.
Rean and Kentucky arrived at the teleport formation, which looked to not have been activated in a very long time. "This thing is in quite a bad state, no?" Rean couldn't help but ask.
The Demon Bird then explained. "It has already been 1500 or so years since it was last used. You must understand that Rank Seven Divine Stones aren't the kind of things we can find in this region of the Realm of Gods. The only times the formation is activated are when the Demon Beasts from the Center decide to come here. It is also during those times that the formation receives maintenance. I reckon their next visit should be within now and five hundred years."
Rean pondered a bit and immediately took several materials from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Give me an hour or so. I will get it as good as new."
The Demon Bird obviously had nothing against it. "B-But... we can't pay for the repairs, sir."
"Don't worry, I'm doing it so that no issues happen during my own teleportation," said Rean. "By the way, where is this Teleport Formation Connected to?"
The bird quickly answered. "It is always the Narfura Race members who come here, so it should be connected to their territory."
Rean obviously remembered the Narfuras. He had met one back when he lived within the Dragon Race Territory. They were just like the Dragons and Minokawas, Divine Demon Beasts. They had kind of a humanoid appearance but were still part of the Demon Races. Their body was covered in red scales that could ignite any time they wanted, making them look like some walking flame spirit.
That level of formation was nothing in Rean's eyes anymore, so the maintenance process was done fairly quickly. It did have some peculiarities, but Rean was fast to understand them. Formations aren't all the same. Each Formations Master had their own methods, after all. Still, Rean wasn't lying. He just didn't want to have issues during the teleportation. Doing the maintenance in the formation also allowed him to confirm that the formation was truly what the Demon Bird said. With that out of the way, he and Kentucky stepped on it. "Alright, it is fixed and should stay in good condition for the foreseeable future. You can activate it now."
The Demon Bird nodded and put the Rank Seven Divine Stones in their places. In fact, only twenty-eight were used in the end, though. Not that the Demon Bird lied about the expenditure, but that Rean improved its energy efficiency. He didn't ask for the Divine Stones back, though, much to the Demon Bird's delight.
The formation activated a moment later, connecting to the other formation all the way in the Center of the Realm of Gods.
*Zush!*
With a flash of silver light, Rean and Kentucky disappeared from sight.
The Narfura Demon Beast Race Territory was usually quite lively. Although they are Divine Demon Beasts, they are quite odd in the fact that they don't have much trouble with reproduction. Sure, it wasn't as easy as the humanoid races, but they far surpassed the other Divine Demon Beasts in this regard. That came with its compromises, though. Their Divine Bloodline was on the weaker side and needed quite a few of this race to work together to achieve the same result of a pure-blooded dragon or phoenix, for example.
Yet, the race territory was quite empty now. The reason, obviously, was the war to conquer the Devil's Territory in the Realm of Gods. The same could be said for all the Demon Beasts near the Center of the Realm of Gods, so there was nothing wrong here.
It was within this race that a Teleport Formation that hadn't shown any changes in over a thousand years suddenly activated...
