Chapter 1794: To Our Advantage

Back in Butiva, the twins left the Realm of Gods for a moment and entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Naturally, Sister Orb was already waiting for them. [Took you long enough. I was already getting bored with all the teaching. Come on! Let's get into it!]

Rean and Roan nodded as they immediately took out the two vials of Freezing Star Liquid. Back in the Lost Star Realm, the twins found out that the liquid could be acquired there. However, back then, they were still in the second level of the Yin Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique.

After advancing to Third Grade Star Body, they didn't have any Starlight Energy left for use. That meant that they had to gradually accumulate Starlight Energy like any other Star Body practitioner. Sure enough, it took them a lot of years, but the day had finally arrived.

"Alright, what now?"

[What else? You need to refine the Freezing Star Liquid into your bodies. During the breakthrough to Third Grade, you two refined an extreme Yang material into your bodies, the Molten Divine Rock Flower. Now you need to balance its energy during the breakthrough to Fourth Grade. That's why you're using an extreme Yin material, the Freezing Star Liquid. Trust me, the gain in strength and defense you will get from this breakthrough will be enormous! It should be enough for you two to fight yet another stage higher!]

The good thing about the cultivation manuals of the Soul Gem System was that they were flawless, or so they looked so far. With that being said, the twins never had any issues during their breakthroughs. Naturally, the same happened for their breakthrough to Fourth Grade Star Body.

As the Freezing Star Liquid was refined into their bodies, its power balanced the Molten Divine Rock Flower's power present there. Rean and Roan had always been about the balance of Yin and Yang, and this breakthrough matched their constitutions perfectly.

The best thing was that with Rean's Light Element, they didn't need to pass through all the pain the body cultivation techniques usually gave to their users.

And just like that, their breakthrough went without a hitch, successfully achieving their Fourth Grade Star Bodies.

"Phew... body cultivation techniques are so slow compared to Divine Energy," Rean couldn't help but mention.

Sister Orb knew that. [There's no need to feel sad because of that. A single breakthrough in body cultivation increases your overall strength by an entire stage without the need for a breakthrough in your Divine Energy. It's normal for it to take so long. That also means you can catch your enemies by surprise due to the cultivation that they see and the strength you two really have.]

Roan was more interested in something else. "So, what's the next item on the list for the Fifth Grade Star Body?"

[You're already thinking about that? Just so you know, you'll probably take several decades to gather enough Starlight Energy again.]

"If we can arrange the item ahead of time, we won't need to worry about it when we have enough Starlight Energy to breakthrough," Roan answered.

[That's true. Anyway, the fifth item of the manual is called Iridescent Tear. As you can imagine, this material is even rarer than Freezing Star Liquid. As the name suggests, it's a type of liquid that shines with several colors. That's because it's filled with all five mainstream elements inside it.]

Rean found it strange. "Wait, materials capable of gathering all five elements are rare, but there are still a few of them. Is there a reason we need this specific one?"

Sister Orb confirmed. [Yes. The point about this tear is not only in the purity of its five elements but their harmony. Other materials with the five mainstream elements usually have some degree of conflict inside them. With that said, they can't be used for the next breakthrough. Of course, there's also another problem.]

Roan knew what Sister Orb was talking about. "The Yin Yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique only accepts the materials listed. Any other material can't be used. You definitely remember the time Sister Orb warned us about it, no?"

Rean sighed in response. "I forgot that for a moment. Oh well, so be it. So, where can we find it?"

[Who knows?] Sister Orb had no idea. [The system also didn't know about the previous four items, so what makes you think it would know about the location of an even rarer one?]

"That's true..." Rean agreed with Sister Orb. "Hmm... since we're in the Free Continent, perhaps we can use this chance to investigate. Maybe someone from the Jamai Sect and the other powers know of it."

Roan didn't mind it. "Use the communication system to spread the news. We have nothing to lose doing that."

Sometime later, the twins finally stepped out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean immediately used the communication system to post a request for any information regarding the Iridescent Tear. Well, it was no surprise that no one knew anything about it. At the very least, no one contacted the twins back.

"Oh, so you two are finally out." Luina noticed the twins' arrival. "That's good. We just got information from the border between Brumel and us that the Brumel Forces seem to be making a move."

Roan wasn't surprised by that. "Let me guess, the same thing is happening in Lativan."

Luina nodded. "That's true. How did you know?"

Roan snorted, saying, "Hmph! We conquered Jaxto in a flash. It was so fast that neither Lativan nor Brumel had the chance to get in our way by launching attacks. However, that didn't mean they didn't know what was happening at all. Since we have two countries from our surroundings under our command, it goes without saying that they think they're the next ones. Not only that, I can guarantee you that they'll ask for help from other countries around them."

"I see." Luina nodded. "Would that be bad?"

Roan faintly smiled after hearing that, telling her, "Not necessarily. We just need to use it to our advantage."
