Death... and me

As one of the big powers of the Jhiod Sect, the Yume Clan had its own estate inside the Jhiod Sect's territory. Roan, who came in ahead of time, intended to just pass his badge over and obtain his residence. However, he was stopped by one of the sect's Core Elders, as well as a member of the Yume Clan, the so-called Uncle Sam. "Why do you even need me? Erla is right beside you."

Indeed, Erla was already taken in by Sam. "You're right, but the reason I stopped you is so that we can wait for your brother to come back." Sam then looked at Erla and continued, "As for you, I have already prepared everything, so you can head to your residence with your husband. Though, if you want, you can stick by and hear what we have to say since you will come in contact with it in the future. After all, you're a Pristine Blue Carp and my personal disciple. You will grow to the point where it matters."

Erla and Min had no idea what Sam was talking about. Nonetheless, they decided to stay with him since it seemed something important. Well, for Erla, it was. Min understood he wasn't part of it but was just as curious. "Yes, Master. I want to know more."

Roan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Celis on his side, asking him, 'Do you have any idea what it's all about?'

Celis shrugged his shoulders as he was in his human form. 'Probably has something to do with your weapon intents, no? Well, now that Libraia also gave birth to a Sword Intent Seed, you and Rean aren't as important as you once were. But even with that, you're still very important, of course.'

Roan thought the same thing. That also would explain why they needed Rean to be here. However, that didn't explain why it would be important for Erla. Erla was a demon beast, and she didn't use any weapons. With that said, he also expected this conversation to be about something else.

Suddenly, Sam looked in a certain direction as he smiled, saying, "Your brother has given us quite some face for our Yume Clan. He resisted a minute in the arena against an opponent with higher cultivation." Sure enough, he was also watching the Rean's fight against Lin in the sect's arenas.

Roan didn't think it to be all that impressive. The difference in strength was just that big, after all.

A few minutes later, Govin entered the Yume Clan's estate and brought Rean to the room where Sam and the others were waiting. "Core Elder Sam. I see that you have already taken Erla as your new personal disciple," Govin said.

Sam nodded, replying, "We're both aquatic demon beasts. Her bloodline and her power in the Clendes Sea are very good. I'm sure she will grow several times stronger in the future."

Roan wasn't in the mood to hear that flattery, though. "So, what is it that you needed me here as well?"

"Wait a minute," Sam said in response. "The clan leader will be here in a moment."

"Clan leader?" Rean's group was taken aback. The clan leader was definitely someone extremely important in the Jhiod Sect, probably not much inferior to the sect master himself. Why would such a person come for them?

Even though they wanted to know why, they waited. Eventually, the so-called clan leader appeared in the room. It was more like he was a ghost. No one could tell how he got inside since neither of the entrances opened. "So, these are the new Divine Demon Beasts and the twins, huh? To think our Yume Clan would get so many high-ranked bloodlines and two weapon intent users. Truly, truly impressive. The twins can even use Spatial Power before the Void Tempering Realm. I reckon only five or six of the legacy disciples in our Jhiod Sect can do that at the moment."

Those words surprised the twins. They didn't expect that other cultivators, demon beasts, or spirits would be able to do such a thing. In Luan's case, his affinity was space, so it made sense. But for the twins, it was most likely due to the System and the Dimensional Realm.

The clan leader continued. "Where are my manners? Nice to meet you all. My name is Philip Yume. As you probably heard, I'm the actual leader of the Yume Clan." As he introduced himself, he also used his Divine Sense to check the twins and the others.

However, it was then that his expression changed. "This..."

He got close to the twins, and he looked closely at them. No, to be more specific, it was as if he was trying to see through them. "Where did you get it?"

Rean and Roan were confused. What was the guy talking about? However, Sister Orb immediately answered that question. [Be careful. He can feel the existence of the Dimensional Realm.]

Immediately, the twins' expressions changed after that. However, just to make sure, they still asked Philip back. "What are you talking about?"

Philip narrowed his eyes as he looked around the room. Soon after, he waved his hands, causing the space around them to change. Once again, Rean could see the natural runes floating in the air, kind of creating a barrier around the room. "Do you have any idea how much a personal Dimensional Realm is worth? Just who are you exactly? You're as strong as the top geniuses of our Jhiod Clan, you can use weapon intents, and you even have your own Dimensional Realm."

Sam and Govin were shocked by what they heard. "A personal Dimensional Realm?!" Because of their cultivation, they couldn't feel anything from the twins. However, they knew that Philip wouldn't say such a thing if he wasn't sure. Besides, Philip's cultivation was indeed even higher than Core Elder Sam's. It's just that they didn't know if Philip felt the twins' Dimensional Realm because of his higher cultivation or because of some other reason.

Erla and Min were at a loss, though. "What are they talking about?"

Sam looked at the two and told them, "I'll explain later, so just listen for now."

Roan went straight to the point, though. "How do you know that?"
