Chapter 3818: Bored
The following days passed without problems, Xanfel rarely appearing outside. Not that anyone cared since the experts kept coming and going all the time.
The 23 days were gone, and Xenfal found himself back in the Provider’s Path, joining the next Surveillance and Protection Team. Except for Lembrum, the twins really didn’t know anyone else, and neither did the others know them. When it was said that the list of participants was kept secret, it was no joke. Everyone was seeing each other for the first time.
No, that wasn’t entirely correct. Some of them knew each other. They just didn’t know the other party had acquired a slot for the Surveillance and Protection Team. That was all.
Naturally, this place also had a Pseudo-Temporal Path, although this one was blocked by an energy barrier to make sure no one could use it.
"Hum?" One of them recognized Xenfal, coming closer. "Xenfal, what are you doing here? No, wait. Oh! You had a breakthrough into the Middle Stage, uh? Still, to get a slot for this is quite surprising."
Rean recognized the man from Xenfal’s memories. "Wondlo, where there is a will, there is a way. You also just had a breakthrough recently, reaching the Late Stage. Yet, here you are. You are a stage higher than me, but it should have been pretty difficult for you too, no?"
"You bet it was!" Wondlo smiled in response.
Truth be told, Wondlo wasn’t one of those pervert friends from Xenfal. He was quite pragmatic, which wasn’t bad. It’s just that he also didn’t care about what others did, regardless of whether it was considered evil or wicked. Xenfal and Wondlo had a few deals before, and that’s why they knew each other. They were kind of good acquaintances.
*Zush!*
Suddenly, another expert appeared there, catching everyone’s attention. His cultivation said he was in the Divinity Realm Peak Stage, but the figure was quite well known as one of the many Semi-Celestials in D33. "Alright, it seems like you are all here. For those who don’t know, I’m Pudarg. I will be the one to bring you to the job site."
He turned around, drawing many seals in the air, which entered the Energy Barrier protecting the Pseudo-Temporal Path behind him. The barrier trembled for a moment, quickly opening a big gap that everyone could use. "Alright, the path is open. Protect yourselves with your powers, as this path is quite a ride. It has been open for over a hundred years, and it is reaching its limit. Well, it shouldn’t be a problem for anyone here. If you die inside before getting there, then we truly wouldn’t have much use for you in this team anyway."
The Divinity Realm Experts there didn’t waste time and jumped inside, leaving most of those in the Space-Time Realm behind. For a Semi-Celestial to warn them beforehand meant the path was quite rough. Of course, giving up this chance wasn’t an option for them either.
"Well, I’m going ahead." Rean was the first one to speak, jumping inside the Temporal Path.
Wondlo, who happened to be by his side, followed Rean since waiting more than that wouldn’t make any difference.
*Drummmm...*
Spatial Storms and Rifts often hit the Temporal Path, their Spatial Powers tearing everything apart. The Path was still stable enough to not collapse, but it was definitely not the kind of trip you would make willingly.
*Ugh...*
Wondlo gritted his teeth as a Rift appeared just by his side. A huge tear appeared on his waist before Wondlo shot away from it. He took a pill, and the injury started to heal. Of course, he didn’t wait for it and accelerated. He had to traverse this path as fast as possible.
But then, when he looked at Xenfal, the Spatial Rift that almost cut him in half caused no harm whatsoever to Xenfal. It felt more like Xenfal simply brushed it aside, as if it were a small stone on the road that you kicked out of the way for no reason.
Xenfal passed by him leisurely, speaking. "You need to practice your control over the Spatial Powers better. We might now learn their laws as we don’t have Spatial Affinity, but it doesn’t mean we can’t improve."
Wondlo scratched the back of his head and nodded. Sure, Wondlo wasn’t a pervert like Xenfal, but he knew Xenfal quite well. It was always good to know those you do business with. As far as he remembers, Xenfal wasn’t this good with Spatial Powers. "Did something happen since we saw each other six decades ago?"
Rean noticed he was being too careless, but he didn’t show it on his face. "Didn’t you just say it? I had a breakthrough. I’m in the middle stage now. If you don’t watch your back, I’ll catch you in no time."
"That wasn’t what I meant..." Wondlo sighed. "Forget it. How about you give me a hand so I can make it to the other side alive?"
"Hehe!" Rean didn’t mind. "Sure, as long as the payment is good enough."
Oh yes, that was absolutely the Xenfal he knew. "A hundred Rank Seven Divine Stones, how about that?"
"Aren’t you being a little too cheap?" Rean asked back.
"Come on!" Wondlo felt helpless. "You are making it look so easy. This should be enough for a crossing that won’t last more than a day. It is just a little help, nothing else. It’s not like it would make your life more difficult, or would it? Do it for all the good business we had with each other, how about that?"
"Fine..." Rean shrugged. "Stay close to me. I’ll take care of the Spatial Storms and Rifts that come our way."
Taking the payment and putting it inside the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, Rean got Wondlo to follow him.
Of course, Rean didn’t move too fast, afraid of catching up to the Divinity Realm Experts who entered first. If he did that, that would definitely raise a lot of questions. Rean even slowed down, allowing some of the other Space-Time Realm Experts to catch and pass by him.
In the end, thirteen Space-Time Realm Experts died on the traversal, which Pudarg couldn’t care less. "Finally, everyone is across. I was already feeling bored. Now, come with me. I’m guiding you all to each of your posts."
