Chapter - 3368

Before long, Frostine found herself inseparable from Vela.

Among the women, there was never a shortage of topics to discuss. It didn't take long for the atmosphere to liven up with their lively chatter.

Although it was just a small team of five, they were very united.

Zeke was quite pleased with his achievements. Although the small team was formed unintentionally, it could still be considered a group that shared both joys and sorrows.

"Here's heaven's energy." Zeke took out the heaven's energy he had collected earlier. "Everyone should absorb it quickly. If it's not enough, we'll find another way."

With five people around, it was not wasted this time.

Vela was overjoyed, her pretty face flushed with happiness.

"Zeke, it's incredible here. I could never absorb this much heaven's energy over at Octantis' place. Everyone there has to distribute it based on their contributions."

"It's only natural, considering the small number of people, and none are on the verge of a breakthrough like him. We can't absorb too much of heaven's energy. But most importantly, we need to dispel the dark aura," Zeke said seriously.

"I'm aware of that." Vela nodded, then added with worry, "However, I'm not sure if Octantis feels the same way. He heard that within our sect, there are cultivators who can dispel heaven's energy more quickly after breaking through, so..."

"So what is his plan?" Zeke's face darkened.

Is Octantis courting death?

Without exercising utmost caution, given the perilous nature of the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, death is undoubtedly inevitable.

Why the rush?

He feared that after provoking him today, he might act impulsively.

This was something Zeke didn't want to see. Despite their differences, they were, after all, human cultivators.

"There's another piece of news," said Vela.

"Go on."

"Depraved spirits at the late stage of Sun and Moon Class have appeared. Although they appeared at the hinterland, it was said that a top prodigy had fallen!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, their faces all showing a hint of panic.

A top prodigy, a title that signified extraordinary strength, could indeed be deemed as peerless in the world.

At the very least, it wasn't until the late stage of Sun and Moon Class that one could be addressed in such a manner.

Those at the late stage of Sun and Moon Class might not have completely assimilated into this rank, but they weren't too far off either.

"Vela, do you know which sect or school the disciple belongs to? Who is it?" Zeke asked with a look of regret on his face.

"Well, we aren't sure. All I know is that my fellow disciples and I witnessed a celestial phenomenon. The sky was raining blood, the clouds were thoroughly dyed red, and blood flowers were in full bloom."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other.

This celestial phenomenon is truly horrifying. Who exactly is this person? However, one thing is certain. Regardless of who it is, this person must have practiced the physical enhancement art. Only when such cultivators perished would such a celestial phenomenon occur. The human race, it seems, is not safe and needs to stand united.

Zeke came to realize just how significant the opportunities here were, and how greatly they could enhance his abilities.

In other words, humanity was not lacking in opportunities. Everyone had the chance to rise. It was only through unity that they could reap greater benefits.

However, it was impossible for Zeke to go around with a megaphone, broadcasting his thoughts to everyone. That would be a futile effort.

Conflicts were a frequent occurrence among the diverse factions and sects. A multitude of prevailing contradictions were, in general, challenging to resolve.

The idea of unity seemed nothing more than a joke.

"What a pity." Zeke sighed. Shortly after, a thought struck him and he hastily asked, "Vela, is Octantis' base camp close to us? Just in case we run into each other again..."

"Zeke, rest assured, we're at a safe distance. Octantis came here solely to gather more of heaven's energy."

"Good, that's settled, then. Everyone can go back to their usual tasks. There's no danger ahead."

In the outside world, amidst a forest filled with the melodious chirping of birds and the sweet scent of blooming flowers, a potent disturbance permeated the atmosphere.

"Is she that eager to see him?"

In the distance, a figure let out a bitter laugh.

"The Secret Realm of Mount Kush is fraught with danger. It's only natural for her to worry, considering we can't immediately lend a hand if anything happens," another elderly person replied.

"I still hope she won't venture into such a dangerous place. Even though there are great opportunities there, it's hard to let her go."
