The mission Rean looked at was quite specific. It required them to help look for a certain someone in there. Anyone who found any clues of the person inside would be rewarded. It didn't seem anything out of the ordinary. After all, there was no lack of people who entered a forest teeming with Demon Beasts just to never appear again.
One of the things that caught Rean's attention was that this request talked about a Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator disappearing in there. Even if the guy or girl lost in a battle, they would still be able to run at such a level. Especially since Stage Four Demon Beasts haven't developed real intelligence with sentience.
Of course, just that wouldn't be enough to catch Rean's attention. The part that interested him was that the guy disappeared around the region Rean and Roan had to adventure into. Since they were already going there, they might as well keep an eye open.
The second part that interested Rean was the reward. The contractor was the Mayor of one of the Dalamu Sect Territory's Cities, Juan Amakal. What he offered was a Serene Blue Jade. This cultivation resource was excellent for Water Affinity cultivators. That's not something one could buy even if one had the money. Dalamu Sect doesn't have it, for example. It's not that it never had, but that it was definitely used by the Sect.
Serene Blue Jade can be used to guarantee a perfect breakthrough of a Water Element Cultivator. The only problem was that it only worked with breakthroughs below the Nascent Soul Level. That's also why the Sect doesn't have any. After all, the best thing to do was to use it on the geniuses of the Sect. After seeing that, Rean immediately thought about Malaka.
'Hey, ice block, look at this mission. We might take a look while we search for the place in the Jade Slip. If we get this Serene Blue Jade, we can give it to Malaka later. What do you think?'
Roan heard the content of the mission and pondered a bit.
'Well, wouldn't this guy or girl be dead by now? After all, even that Mayor hasn't found any clues so far.'
Rean agreed with him.
'That's true. However, this mission doesn't require us to definitely find the target or bring the target back. Any clues will be enough to receive the payment. It's like I said, we can simply look for both things at the same time. Even if we don't find the target, it's not like we lost anything. Who knows?'
Roan nodded in the end.
'So be it. I'm going back to get my things.'
Rean then took that mission without anyone knowing with Hulian's help before leaving his house. Right after, he went straight back to work on his Chaotic Breakthrough Energy.
Thanks to the perfect breakthrough provided by the Yin Yang Cultivation techniques, it only took Rean and Roan one month to stabilize their cultivations. Well, the Arena in the Inner Sect was of great help as well. That's because the top two hundred also posed a challenge to the twins while they weren't using each other's elements.
Eventually, the twins decided to leave. Rean first went to the Beast Taming Faction, where he fetched Kentucky. Reliance was still there, but he didn't try to stop them. Instead, he decided to use this time that Rean and Roan will be out with Kentucky to also go out. Reliance wasn't someone who often stayed in the Sect to start with, so he was getting really bored already.
Right after, the twins went to Hulian's house to see which teleport formation they could use.
"Here, take these tokens. They can activate the hidden teleport formation in the North-Northwest side of the Sect. The same thing as always, be sure to leave without anyone noticing. You can go through the route you used before to avoid more contact."
"Thank you, Elder Hulian. By the way, please inform Sect Master Mia that we might take a few weeks to come back."
Hulian nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll do that for you. Just make sure to come back alive, and that will be enough. Anyway, I also have things to do, so you two can leave now."
Rean and Roan didn't waste time. They quickly arrived at the teleport formation before teleporting outside. This time, however, Hulian didn't prepare any transportation for them. With their Core Formation Realm cultivation, they should be able to move fast enough on their own. Of course, it still wasn't as good as flying.
Ran then looked at the much bigger Kentucky before transmitting his intentions to the Minokawa.
'So, big guy, do you think you can carry the two of us now?'
*Chick! Chick!*

Kentucky immediately showed a confident expression, as if saying that they could leave everything with him. Rean laughed as he jumped on Kentucky's back. Roan didn't like it very much since there was almost no space. Still, flying would be much better.
Kentuck, who lost most of his fat by now, soon extended his wings and shot to the skies with a few flaps. He wasn't strong enough to do that with his body's power alone, though. Still, he knew how to enhance his capabilities with the Light Element. That being said, both of them working together allowed Kentucky to carry the twins now.
Sure enough, a lot of flying with Malaka on his back and his recent breakthrough allowed Kentucky to carry the twins for a very long distance before getting tired. It wasn't before Kentucky crossed the 500 kilometers that he first descended to recover his energies.
Rean was already delighted with Kentucky's endurance. Rean and Roan were heavier than Malaka to start with, and Kentucky was carrying both. In those conditions, Kentucky could still carry them for much longer than before his Stage Three breakthrough. Not to mention that it indeed saved the twins some time.
On the way, Rean and Roan also talked about their recent breakthrough.
"The Core Formation Realm is really different. Even while cultivating with Rank Three Spirit Stones, I think it will take no less than a year to reach the Middle Stage."
Roan nodded.
"That's to be expected. Our Spiritual Pools and Core need more energy to breakthrough. Besides, did you see the other cultivators at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm? So far, I haven't seen a single one younger than 25 years old or so in that Realm. I'll be thrilled if we reach that level at the age of 18 or so."
[Roan's right.]
Sister Orb's voice suddenly resounded in their minds.
[You two really do need a lot more energy to make breakthroughs. However, that is also one of the reasons why you are so strong at your level. The amount of Spiritual Energy you can use and manipulate would only be possible in others' dreams. Still, you are already cultivating extremely fast for your levels. Probably only members of the Imperial Family, who have access to much better resources, would be able to compare to your speed. Look at Calina, for example. She even entered the Core Formation Realm before you two. Well, you can reduce the time a little if you buy the Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrades.]
Rean and Roan nodded. According to Calina, she had access to a certain amount of Rank Four Spirit Stones every month. That showed just how well-treated Imperial Blood could be treated. Mia would never allow low-level cultivators to use Rank Four Spirit Stones.
"Sister Orb, how long do you think it will take for us to break through into the next realm at this rate?"
[That's hard to say. Too many variables are present when it requires you two to cultivate together. Still, a wild guess would put you two between 18 and 22 years old.]
Rean and Roan had already turned 12, with Malaka doing the same just a few days after them. That means that they had at least 6 years of cultivation ahead, which was the best scenario without the upgrades.
[Don't complain about it. Otherwise, all the Core and Soul Fusion Realms cultivators in the world might join hands to kill you out of anger.]
Rean laughed and shook his head.
"It's okay. Our lifespans are already increased to 200 years, so we are still on the winning side even considering the time used for cultivation by far."
Roan nodded.
"It's good that you think like that."
For Roan, time had stopped being an issue a long time ago. His only reason to be in a hurry nowadays was because of the Soul Gem System's ridiculous requirements.
As they flew forward, Rean thought about something else.
"By the way, since we are going to Jiran Forest, we might as well pass by the Varen Tribe. I want to see mom and dad."
Surprisingly, Roan wasn't against this idea.
"Very well."
