"Of course! You are only 30 years older!" Elder Mo Yuni hit his chest playfully. "We are still kids compared to those monsters in the "Mainland" and their sick ways." Ronnaldo's eyes flashed dangerously at her mentioning of them. Thoughts going to Ren's mother who came from there."We need to get you to breakthrough. I will not risk anyone coming to bully you in the future." Ronnaldo thought about the Sect points he had. It was time to cash them in and use what he had stored away. The next time he broke through, he wanted to be even furthur in his Rank and not just Rank 1. "The Mainland is trouble and will try to throw their weight around again. It is already their fault the Empire is at war. We need to be ready.""I have a few pills to help expand the mind and increase cognitive thought. I was saving them for when I breakthrough in a few years." Mo Yuni said with worry. "If you think the time to use them is now, then let's use them. I need to increase my fighting powe

-At the border of the Shoreline- .   Ren and his group stared at the purple water. It was more liquified poison than anything. Mixed with Ion energy so volatile only a few cultivators could survive it. The Ion Storms and smashing Ion waves were over. After a week of further preparation, it was time to move. Ren could not help but step into it. It burned his clothes off in seconds. His body, however, started to consume it as he walked in. Not only did his people look on wide-eyed, but the other cultivators that remained who wanted to enter did so as well. The time spent "sleeping" was to get ready for this. The Vampiric Devil Manual he studded as his Primary was pushed to the limit. Time spent Adjusting the Unlimited Glands to himself more for this specific reason.  "The advancement should keep me alive while I absorb this volatile energy." Ren muttered. Happy that it worked so far with only his body tingling in sensitive area

Ren shouted at the Reap System angrily to do something but the process already finished. The young cultivators came out of their trance and stared before blinking. They surprised Ren with their next actions. They opened their souls up to him. Not by choice but in acceptance of what he was to them. Both only half-consciousness and not really understanding they were doing anything oddly."You will. Check inside yourself, you are now connected to it. Never walk that road that you see. Not unless you hate yourself." Ren said to the two. He wanted to say more but couldnt. It to was against the rules. 'There is no such thing as coincidences only what must be.'Ren remembered something his real mother told him one day. The day she sent him on a journey to find out the secrets of the Reaper Palace. But that was millennia ago at this point. 'I always hated that phrase.' Ren removed the thoughts away. not wanting to think about those in the past.

They were lead by a former deserter of the Moon Valley Sect. An Inheriting Disciple, Cao Xen who did not want to become a Cultivation Furnace for an Elder that had an accident.Living the life on a run was something he was ok with.. Better than losing everything he worked for as well as losing his life possibly. The wind picked up as a small snowstorm started.The bandits took it as a sign to help them rob better."Well... that is new." The leader said. Cao Xen was given a look over to those behind him. Lots of other stray disciples were picked off by them in this area. They came from the east of Ren's group. "One more robbery and that wil be it.""Sounds good. To bad we couldn't rob those royals that got away. But maybe we can run into that one that was separated?""Perfect time to trike." Cao Xen stated. Ren looked to be out of breath after his process. "Looks like that fan guy exhausted himself. Time to relieve him of that burden."*Woosh

 The Ice Palace was quite large and stretched as far as the eyes could see. Large walls and defensive pillars reached the clouds. Countless Frost Birds made a perch throughout the various openings. Water droplets circling around the wings but never freezing.In the most central Pillar that was also the highest, a creature started stirring. Not the largest or the oldest of the Frost Birds but the strongest woke from its slumber.*Shine!* Basking the entire upper area in a blue light, the Frost Bird changed into the form of a human male. Pale white skin of ivory, with clear blue eyes.Two had practiced her flame the entire time afterward. She just achieved the mutated state with her second flame to a satisfactory level. The flame was an icy blue and pulled in the snow to make itself stronger. Arcs of electricity flowed around her arm to keep blood circulation going.Four was just enjoying the sights after getting his flame under complete contro
