Chapter 291
The pull gave no warning.One second they were still standing between those two leafless trees, with the ground of the Vorthaan Mountains still solid beneath their feet—and the next second, something with no precise name to describe it pulled both of them from every direction at once.That something carried them into something else with no identifiable dimensions, giving no time to ask where or why or whether this was a decision that could be undone.Caelan tried to move his feet.Couldn't.Tried to raise his hand.Couldn't.The only thing he could do was feel—feel that pull growing stronger from second to second, growing more impossible to resist from second to second, until the point where resistance was no longer an available option but something not even relevant to consider.Beside him, Rex wasn't moving either.But Rex's face had no panic in it. Only the calm of someone who had chosen to let go, and found that letting go wasn't always a bad thing.Caelan eventually made the same
Chapter 292
And that wasn't an exaggerated number. Not a comparison using shock as its unit of measure. This was a comparison that felt deeply concrete—like the difference between taking a sip of water and standing inside a river rushing from every direction at once.Every breath drew in something more than just air. Every exhale released far less than had come in. As though the body itself had begun accumulating something that required no effort to collect—something that was everywhere and had no objection to flowing into anyone present here.Caelan looked around with eyes that couldn't settle on one point because every point offered something worth paying attention to.Awe.But behind that awe, there was something else—something coming from a deeper place, from the part that had spent too long surviving under pressure not to have instincts about when something beautiful also held something dangerous.This world was perfectly suited for cultivators. That much was clear.But spiritual energy this

From this height, the forest had no end.That was the first thing Caelan noticed once they had flown high enough to see in every direction at once.Not a forest that could be circled in a day, not a forest that could be viewed from one point with its boundaries visible in the distance. This was an expanse of green stretching in every direction with no sign of anything else beyond it—no horizon line changing color, no point where the canopy ceased to exist.Only green, and more green, and behind more green, still more green.Caelan flew westward, Rex at his side.An hour passed.Below them, the forest didn't change in any significant way. Trees of the same immensity, a canopy of the same density, mist of the same thinness.Occasionally there was a gap between the canopy that revealed the ground below—dark, fertile earth, with vegetation beneath the great trees that had its own scale not small in any ordinary sense, though beside the enormous trunks around them they looked like grass.N

"Are you alright, Papa?"Caelan blinked."Ah, yes. I'm fine." He shifted his gaze from Rex to the road at the end of the alley, then back to Rex. "Now, since we can't possibly show up dressed like this, we need to find new clothes."Rex looked at him."We can't find them. We'd have to steal them. Because we don't have anything as a medium of exchange to buy with."Caelan opened his mouth.Then closed it again."Yeah." He let out a slow breath. "You're right, Rex. We don't have any choice but to steal.""But stealing is wrong, Papa." Rex looked at him in a way with no judgmental tone in it, but still felt like a statement that required a response. "That would go against your own principles.""Yes, I know." Caelan looked at Rex. "But this is for survival, Rex. In a life or death situation, principles can sometimes be set aside temporarily. And on top of that—" His eyes moved upward. "Above us..."Rex followed his line of sight.Above them stretched a clothesline connecting the two pavil

All four riders dismounted simultaneously.Green robes with gold ornamentation at the collar edges and wrist cuffs—not conspicuous ornament, but enough to convey these weren't the clothes of ordinary people. Their faces were hard in the way of people who had been too long accustomed to making others step back before a word was spoken.And when all four of their feet touched the ground—Everyone around them bowed.Not slowly, not hesitantly. This was reflexive, in the way of a reflex born not from respect but from something deeper than that and not always better. Merchants at their stalls bent behind their goods. Buyers who had just been in the middle of negotiating suddenly found reasons to stare at the tips of their shoes. Even the small child who had been crying stopped—not because they had calmed down, but because they had been pulled behind their mother's back.The only ones who didn't bow were Caelan and Rex.The one at the front among the four—the tallest, with the hardest jaw a

Caelan and Rex looked at each other.One second, no more.Then Caelan furrowed his brow and looked at the woman in front of him. "Save your sect?" His voice came out flat, without a firm refusal in it but without enthusiasm either. "But I'm just a stranger who doesn't even know your sect. On top of that—I'm not as strong as you think.""No!"The woman shook her head in the way of someone who had seen something with their own eyes and wasn't willing to be argued with about what they had seen."You're incredibly strong. I witnessed it directly." Her eyes moved briefly to the four guards still lying on the market ground. "You defeated three Soul Realm security guards—in a time I couldn't even count."Then her gaze dropped to Rex, in the way of someone revising their conclusions in real time. "And this child... by his appearance he should only be in the Mortal Realm. But he was able to defeat a Soul Realm security guard with complete ease."Caelan didn't respond right away.Inside his hea

All three of them left the market by flying. But only Caelan and Rex could fly, while Wang Liyen couldn't, so Rex had to carry her on his back.The woman's hands held onto Rex's shoulders in the way of someone who had never been carried through the air by someone who appeared to be four years old and hadn't fully decided how she felt about that.Wind swept behind them.Wang Liyen held her silence for a few seconds before finally not being able to."From your appearance, you're still four or five years old." Her voice came out carefully, in the tone of someone who had decided this question needed to be asked but hadn't yet decided how to react to the answer. "But how can you be this strong? You can even fly?" A pause. "Only Peak Soul Realm or Eternal Realm cultivators can do that."Rex didn't turn."I'm not an ordinary baby." His voice came out flat, direct, without a tone that felt the need to explain more than was necessary. "That's all I can answer."Wang Liyen was quiet for a momen

"Father, they're incredibly powerful cultivators!"Wang Liyen spoke before her father had fully sat down—in a tone that didn't hide her enthusiasm, in the way of someone who had been holding this sentence since leaving the market and could only say it now. "They defeated four security guards with complete ease! They can help us!"Soul Lantern Sect Leader Wang Lifan didn't respond right away.His eyes moved to Caelan—from top to bottom, without any hurry. Then to Rex. Then back to Caelan."Are they actually trustworthy?" His voice came out quietly, but not a friendly quiet. "Are you certain they're not infiltrators trying to destroy the Soul Lantern Sect from the inside?"Inside his head, Caelan found no reason to fault that question. As Supreme Leader of the Eternal Black Dragon Sect, he knew exactly how it felt to see strangers enter sect territory without adequate explanation. Suspicion was a reasonable response."We are indeed strangers." Caelan's voice came out without any defensi
Chapter 299
Caelan and Rex looked at each other.One second without any words in it, but with so much that wanted to be said.What the hell is wrong with this family?!They think we're just training material?!Caelan had dealt with difficult people throughout his life—the Hale family, sect officials who looked down before looking, cultivators who spoke with their fists before their ears. But there was something different about what was in this room. This wasn't hostility coming from a real threat. This was arrogance with no sufficient foundation to support it, standing upright not because of strength but because it had never been challenged enough to fall.They didn't deserve his help.That conclusion came not from anger but from something colder than that.Meanwhile—"Tifeng." Wang Lifan spoke without raising his eyes from Caelan and Rex. "Do that outside. I don't want you damaging and dirtying this room."Wang Tifeng nodded in the way of someone who had already considered the outcome settled be

The moment they stepped out of the Soul Lantern Sect's gate, both leaped.The midday air struck their faces as the altitude grew—and below, the small complex with its two-meter walls shrank until it was no longer visible among the endless canopy.Rex flew at Caelan's side in the way his flying never looked like effort.Several seconds passed before Rex spoke."Why didn't you just break his hand, Papa?" No judgmental tone in it—this was a genuine question from someone who actually wanted to know the answer. "Given that attitude of his, he really had it coming."Rex didn't say the next part out loud.But if anyone could read it—and Caelan had been with Rex long enough to know how—what was behind that question wasn't just curiosity.If it hadn't been for watching Caelan choose to hold back, Rex himself wouldn't have stopped at aura pressure and a collapsed roof. Everyone in that room—Wang Lifan who had looked at them like garbage, Wang Tifeng who had considered them merely training mater
