A few seconds after the three rays hit the highest peak, another light ray shot through the skies, much thicker this time. It quickly hit the clouds above, disappearing inside. That was really a big spectacle. It shot so high and was so bright that anyone thousands of kilometers around could see.

Finally, the earthquake that shook everything in a radius of hundreds of kilometers stopped. Still, the light didn't retract. It was there for anyone who wished to see it.

Roan narrowed his eyes after seeing that scene, though.

"This isn't good. It won't take long before all the cultivators around start to come to see what is happening. Obviously, the Umbral Sect members won't be different."

Rovan looked at the place where Roan had put the Jade Slip. However, Ervan, Sian, and Luo didn't come out of it. Without any choice, he decided to check if things were still the same as before.

Rean also thought about the invisible barrier, so he patted Kentucky's head, telling the Minokawa to go down as well. Once they reached the ground, Rovan, Rean, and Roan went to the place where the invisible barrier was located. However, it was nowhere to be seen anymore. If anything, the entrance had expanded several times because of the event. Even large demon beasts would be able to enter it.

Rean then looked at Roan before asking through their Soul Connection.

'What should we do here? This thing is too eye-catching. It will definitely attract a lot more attention than just the cultivators in the Core Region. I know that this might be related to what brought the Universe's separation, but I don't think we can hide it. What about contacting the Dalamu Sect?'

Rean said while looking at the Light Pillar shooting into the skies.

Roan agreed with Rean.

'Indeed. At the very least, those guys from the Umbral Sect will definitely do so. I refuse to believe that they don't have Thoughts Transmission Talismans capable of reaching their Sect. If we don't call for reinforcements, things will get complicated once Nascent Soul and higher realm cultivators begin to appear.'

With that said, the twins took the Talismans they had. Rean had one for Droman, while Roan had one for Old Worm. Their thoughts entered the mark before the Talismans burnt down.

'Still, considering the distance, it will take several hours for them to arrive even if they come at full speed. What should we do? Wait?'

Roan shook his head.

'The cultivators that are coming here will definitely not do so. That includes the Umbral Sect Members. To be honest, once they see this place, they will probably change their priorities and enter the ruins instead.'

The twins looked at each other and seemed to have arrived at the same conclusion.

[Saving a Coordinate will cost 100 Destiny Points.]

[Confirm Purchase?]

'Yes!'

[Purchase Confirmed.]

[Saving Coordinates.]

[Coordinates Saved.]

The twins nodded before they turned to Rovan.

"We are going to enter the ruins. What about you?"

Rovan snorted.

"What do you think? My son is there with two more elders. I have to get them out safely."

Rean and Roan didn't say anything. There would be no point in stopping Rovan here since the cultivators' army coming in this direction definitely won't stop.

"Let's go."

Rean, Roan, Rovan, and Kentucky then jumped inside the entrance.

Suddenly, their field of vision distorted.

'Sister Orb, what is happening?'

[There is a formation at the entrance. You are being teleported to another place. Hold on to each other, or you might be teleported to different locations.]

Rean and Roan didn't have time to think as they held Kentucky. Rean also saw Rovan becoming distorted, so he quickly grabbed him as well.

'Shit! Are the 1000 kilometers of the Circuitry Teleportation Formation enough to bring us back?'

[Wait for the teleport to be over so that I can check.]

Finally, Rean's group vision came back to normal. They then released Kentucky and looked around. However, the room was completely empty. There was only a single exit with something that looked like some kind of number. Unfortunately, they could read it. At least, not without paying Destiny Points, that is.

"We were teleported, it seems."

Said Rovan as he checked their conditions.

'Sister Orb, how is it?'

[Don't worry, you are still inside the 3000-kilometer range for teleportation. It seems like your group was teleported underground instead of another surface somewhere.]

'3000 kilometer range? What range exactly? We only have Rank Three Spirit Stones, so we can only use them for 1000 kilometers. Above that, and we will need Rank Four ones.'

[It seems to be around 1700 kilometers.]

Rean sighed, already expecting something like that.

'No point in thinking about it now. Let's move out. Since we were sent to this place, there must be an exit somewhere. Perhaps we can go up enough to reach the 1000 kilometers range.'

Rovan noticed the twins' silence and asked.

"Are you two okay? We can't stay here forever."

Rean and Roan nodded.

"We are fine. Let's take a look outside first. Rovan, do you have a way to contact your son and the two elders?"

Rovan shook his head.

"No. It's not like we have a way to find each other to start with. At most, I could use a Thoughts Transmission Talisman. However, when I tried to use it outside, it didn't work."

Roan pondered a bit before saying.

"Perhaps you can use it now. After all, we are in the same place that your companions were sent to. We might get some valuable information from them."

Rovan's eyes lit up as he took out that same talisman as before. Because it couldn't connect to his son's talisman, it was not spent. Rovan quickly put his thoughts inside and tried to activate it. However, the result was the same. The talisman couldn't find its pair that his son carried. Naturally, it wasn't consumed again.

"No can do."

Rean couldn't help but ask.

"What's the range of your talismans?"

Rovan scratched the back of his head after hearing that.

"Thoughts Transmission Talismans are super expensive, so my clan could only afford ones that could reach 300 kilometers. More than that, and it would be a waste of Spirit Stones."

The twins were not surprised by that. They knew very well that the talismans they had were indeed very expensive to be able to contact the Dalamu Sect from so far away. People using low-quality ones like Rovan was quite common. In fact, if Droman and Old Worm haven't given the talismans to the twins, Rean and Roan wouldn't even have one.

"Keep that talisman in hand. It might be that you are still out of range even though we were teleported to this place."

Rovan nodded, and their group finally left the room. Rean and Roan expected this place to be full of caves everywhere, just like the Profound Abyss. However, what waited for them outside were perfectly made tunnels or corridors. The one right in front expanded as far as their eyes could see. All the ways had the same ancient carvings as the outside too.

Those tunnels also shone with yellow light, showing the presence of Earth Element inside them.

Roan then took his sword and attacked.

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

*Clang!*

The sound of metal hitting metal then echoed around. As for the place where Roan attacked, not even a dent was left behind.

"It seems like creating our own way out won't work."

Rovan nodded.

"It was the same as the walls outside. But that isn't all. Have you noticed that your Spiritual Sense is also affected?"

Rean and Roan nodded. They tried to spread their Spiritual Senses as soon as they arrived, but it couldn't go further than a few meters. The interference in this place was even worse than the Profound Abyss.

"Let's move."

As Rean's group began to explore the place, the outside world began to get lively. One by one, more and more cultivators at the Core Formation Realm and Core and Soul Fusion arrived. Those were the nearby cultivators that just so happened to be inside the range of the pillar of light. Naturally, they rushed over, ignoring everything to see what was happening.

Not too long after, the groups from the Umbral Sect arrived as well.

"Isn't it too much of a coincidence? This is the direction those guys told us they saw the twins moving at."

Lian nodded.

"Indeed. However, it matters little now. Something much bigger is happening here."

Suddenly, another cultivator group arrived. Vio and Sames thought about getting rid of them straight away. However, Lian immediately stopped the two.

'Don't act harshly. They don't know where we are from. Besides, more and more cultivators will arrive as time passes. There is no way we can deal with all of them together. It will bring us no good to increase our number of enemies here.'

Vio and Sames nodded as their group calmed down. They waited to see what the other group would do. However, when they passed through the entrance, they suddenly disappeared in a flash of silver light.

'A teleportation formation?'

'It seems like it. I wonder where it will send them.'

'Should we stay outside and wait for the elders?'

Lian shook his head.

'Let's enter. This is the Dalamu Sect Territory. As you can imagine, they will definitely arrive before our sect elders. In fact, most of the sects' elders closer to here than our Umbral Sect will not take long to find what is happening either. We need to take the initiative. Don't worry. Even if the other sects are keeping an eye on our Nascent Soul Cultivators, they won't try to stop them once they find what is happening here.'

Vio and Sames nodded together with the rest.

'Then it's decided!'
