For the whole month, Devil Qin gave different theories and his understanding about Daos. These were quite crucial information so all of them learned a lot. And, within a month, their battle strength soared. Even though it didn't reach higher than the Saint World, it was still way beyond its past self.
Currently, they can easily snap their fingers and erase the existence of an Ancestor Realm cultivator. Of course, their cultivation also soared. Qin and others finally reached Emperor Realm. It was quite ahead of their previous cultivation which means now they finally entered the top level in the mortal world with their cultivation alone.
But, after a month, Devil Qin had to leave. They were gathered above the Town of Beast. Because of Qin's progression and the resources, the people of the town have also gotten stronger. Sometimes, he even made them stronger forcefully.
"So, are you sure you would be okay with my sword energy?" Qin asked while handing him hundreds of sword energies. Before leaving Devil Qin asked for Qin's sword energy since it could give him an edge over the Time Patrol Force.
"Of course, your strength might be low but you are still a swordsman. And, there is nothing a swordsman can't cut. You just don't have enough power to cut everything. But, I do. There are plenty of other ways to I can improve its power. But, you didn't have to give me so many." Devil Qin couldn't help but feel speechless when he realized Qin was basically exhausting his sword energy and giving it to him.
Qin shook his head and said "No, this is nothing for what you have done for us. Without you, we wouldn't be this stronger in such a short time. And, I can't believe I am saying this but you are like a big brother to me. Though technically, you are me from another reality."
"Aww… Come and give big brother a hug!" Hearing his words, Devil Qin melted as he pulled Qin into his embrace.
"Ugh… I didn't mean it literally." Qin felt ashamed to admit that he felt good even though he was getting a warm embrace from himself. But, his feelings for Devil Qin weren't false. He truly feels like a figure of a big brother in Devil Qin.
And, it wasn't a bad feeling for Qin. In fact, this was the first time where he felt the warm embrace from his big brother. Slowly, his heart melted as he embraced Devil Qin tightly.
At this moment, Devil Qin puts his head on his shoulder and whispers "I don't know what you will feel about father. I don't want to force you for anything. But, please don't hate mother! She was the one who purify me and show me the happiness of life."
"She is just a broken woman who wants to but can't meet her child. Yeah, the father could meet you if he wanted but even if she wants, she can't meet you. The amount of curses she holds in her body is overwhelming for everyone. That's why the only person she can spend her time with is his dad."
When Qin heard those words, he didn't know how to respond. In this month, almost every day, there would be a sentence where Devil Qin praises their mother. In fact, Qin had already begun to imagine his mother from his description.
But, he still can't let go of those unfeeling emotions for his parents. He doesn't hate them. He just doesn't feel anything about them. This is what Devil Qin wanted to change about Qin. For mother, he did succeed. Now, he does feel something. It's just that he doesn't know whether it is anger or sadness.
"I will try." Qin finally spoke three words and left his embrace. He lowered his head while biting his lips. He was still feeling emotionally conflicted.
Devil Qin patted his head and said "Just give yourself some time."
Then, he turned at others and said "All of you have improved a lot but don't let this get into your heads. As I said before, I am a hundred times stronger than anyone in the same realm but by anyone I only meant normal people."
"There are some geniuses who are even thousand times stronger in the same realm. Of course, it is because they specialized in a certain path. Just as Xieyi, there are people completely mastering a certain path, and if you tell them to fight someone who hasn't mastered any dao, that wouldn't even be a fight."
"Of course, this doesn't mean you will lose. There are several factors affecting battle and if you know how to fight and how to see the opponent's strength, then you can have some chances of winning. And, before leaving, there is one thing that I must warn all of you."
"Currently, your strength is truly at its peak. And, I don't want you to split up but I think this is the best choice you have right now. I know there is brotherhood, family between all of you but think for a second. What would you choose?"
"A strength to kill an unkillable enemy or being just a sore loser than needs someone to save your ass every single time. I don't know if this is even possible if you aren't a swordsman but all of you have shown a lot of miracles. So, I believe if you walk on your own path for some time, you can come together strong enough to face anything."
"From now on, Time Patrol Force won't send regular mortal with the power of time. They will send a real cultivator. Just imagine fighting against a cultivator who has the strength like yours but can't be killed by you. All of you would need his help."
"And, this will only drag him down. Of course, I am saying everyone should split up. I just saying that you can make a group and split up. From what I can see already, Qin and his girls don't need to split up. Guo Yang and Chu Xieyi can act together."
"Tan Ge can go together with Lan Ming. As for Zhao Tan, I guess you can go together with Guo Min. This way you will balance each other and also improve. Make a goal to find a way to cut through the cut. If you can do it, even if half of you, then group up and continue your journey together."
When he said that, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. They didn't expect him to say something like this. Split up? They have never considered this. But, at this moment, Lan Ming suddenly spoke "I think he is right."
"Lan Ming! How can you say that? We have been together for so long. We are family. How can you ask a family to go apart?" Chu Xieyi looked at him and shouted. Although she was happy to be together with Guo Yang, she didn't want to part away from anyone. They are her family now.
But, her words made everyone surprised. Because she was the last person they thought could argue. After all, Devil Qin gave her a perfect opportunity to be together with Guo Yang. Even Guo Yang was surprised to hear her words.
"Why are you looking so surprised? This is my family. You all are my brothers and sisters. How can you even think of parting away?"
When she saw their surprised expressions, she didn't hesitate to convince them. But, at this moment, Guo Yang hold her arm and pulled her back, saying.
"He is right. As of now, we are not good enough to face those people. We have certainly grown stronger but until we are together with him, we won't try to find a way. We might but our opportunities will be limited. There is a whole world and there might be a place which holds the secret to cut through time."
"And, if we want to find it, we must separate."
"Not you too." At this moment Chu Xieyi's eyes turned teary as she looked at Guo Yang. She looked at them and screamed "I don't want to be separated. I have finally found a family. I don't want to leave."
At this moment, Guo Yang pulled her into his embrace and placed her head in his chest, saying "We are a family. Just because we are far from each other doesn't mean our bond will get weaker. This is impossible. You need to believe in them."
"Am I wrong?" He asked while looking at others.
At this moment, everyone smiled.
"Of course not! No matter how far we might be, we will always be a family."
"That's right! There is no need to measure our bond with distance."
At this moment, Yue Bin walked near Guo Yang and Chu Xieyi. She raised her hand flicked on Chu Xieyi's forehead.
"You are a pain in my butt. You always argue with me. You always try to act cold in front of others. You always try to pretend that you don't need anyone's support. And, I always hated that part of you. But, then slowly, I realized something."
"It's not that you don't want anyone's support. In fact, you are desperate for it. But, you don't want to get hurt again, right? Even though you always fight with me, you are my sister. And, this time, believe in us. We will never let you get hurt again."
"It's just a small parting. After growing strong enough to face the deadly threats, we will be together once again.. And, at that time, let's fight."
