Chapter 2594: Ghost
The festivities continued nonstop as the twins' parents simply couldn't let go of their grandchildren. They were all cultivators; even Rean's mother from Earth, although at a very low level still, could already stay awake a few days without issues. In the end, Fay was 'forced' to talk and accompany them all.
A day later, Roan brought a ghost to- Ahem... his son to the gathering. It's just he looked more dead than alive at the moment. It showed just what kind of hell he was put through. Sister Orb healed him many times, just to throw him into the Demon Beast Territories again.
At first, Alen tried to hide and wait for time to pass. But how could Roan not predict he would do such a thing? Without him knowing, he had a tracker on his body, also known as Sister Orb. She made sure that all the Demon Beasts that were looking for him always had his general location up to a range of 10 kilometers. After being mutilated a few times, Alen finally understood that hiding was out of the question, so he began to flee instead. Yet... all Demon Beasts after him were Transition Realm Demon Beasts while he was still in the Elemental Transformation Realm Peak Stage. He did have Roan's training and resources during his cultivation, which made him much stronger than normal cultivators at his level. Yet, that was far from enough to deal with a sea of Demon Beasts with higher cultivations.
Alen entered the room and looked at Calina. Finally, tears began to come down, feeling like the hell was finally over. "Mom! How could you let him do that to me?"
Calina looked at Alen. "Oh, that's surprising. I truly thought you would die there, so I asked your father to bring you out after a day. Yet, how could Roan's son die that easily? You look perfectly fine. Not only that, your shaky foundation seems to have stabilized quite a good bit in this last day. Roan, send him back out there once we are done here."
"Mom!" Alen's tears only increased.
Roan nodded with a cold expression. "That's the fastest way of stabilizing one's cultivation without the aid of pills, after all. I obviously controlled the difficulty of the training, so he will be fine."
*Pah!*
Suddenly, Roan received a slap on the back of his head. Only one person would be able to do that without him dodging, and that's because he didn't dare to dodge. Obviously, it was Hamarlia, his mother. "Stop your bullshit. Look at this poor kid. He is scared out of his mind."
Roan rubbed the back of his head, feeling wronged. Yet, he didn't say anything against her words. Instead, he just made the introductions. "This is your grandmother. You better thank her that you came out of training so soon."
"Grandmother!" Alen looked at her like she was a saint who descended from the heavens to save his life. "Thank you, grandmother! Your grandson shall accompany you during the next few days."
"Oh! What a sweet and considerate boy," said Hamarlia, satisfied. "Seems like Roan wasn't a complete disaster of a father."
How could Calina and Roan not tell what Alen was doing? He was obviously trying to use Hamarlia to escape Roan's training. And... well... grandmothers are usually blind to their grandchildren's real intentions, only wanting to pamper them.
Calina shrugged her shoulders with a bitter smile as she stood by Roan's side. 'Well, let he have his time. You will leave soon, won't you? It will be good if he can interact with his family a bit more.'
Roan nodded. 'Very well.' However, he also could see that Calina wanted to say something else. 'What is it that is bothering you?'
Calina looked at him and sighed. 'You said Sunkan Planet was rebuilt and everyone there revived, right? Have you seen my parents? Were they well?'
Roan finally understood. 'Yes, they were fine. My Divine Sense is strong enough to cover the entire planet in the Mortal Realm. Well, they haven't changed much since they were frozen in time the moment the planet exploded. For them, it is as if not many years have passed.'
'I see...' Calina thought about them. 'Do you think it would be possible for me to visit Sunkan Planet?'
Roan pondered a bit. 'When Rean and I went there, we used a formation from one of the Protecting Clans. I think it should be possible if you use the Dragon Race's name for that. I won't be able to accompany you, though. Also, if you truly go down there, you should be prepared for the entire Sasamil Imperial Blood to come after you, wishing that you bring them to the Realm of Gods. Just make sure you protect yourself for the crossing. The Spatial Distortions when you teleport from the Realm of Gods to the Mortal Realm are truly strong.'
Calina could imagine it. 'I'm already in the Void Tempering Realm Middle Stage, so it's not like I'll be helpless. As for the Sasamil Imperial Family, they also won't be able to force me to do anything. Perhaps I won't even appear in front of them and only visit my parents.'
'That's good too.' Roan had no complaints about her plans, nor did he have any intention of stopping her. 'Qia's parents are also there, so when you decide to go, you might as well ask her if she wants to follow you.'
'I'll do that,' Calina accepted the idea with a smile. Right after, she looked at Alen. 'Don't forget to bring him around later. Make sure to have a good conversation with your son. No training! A CON-VER-SA-TION!'
Roan felt helpless but accepted that. 'Just don't expect much from me. I'm... not very good with these things.'
Everything went according to the plans... or whatever the people there decided to do during the time. It wouldn't be before two days later that everyone finally came out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
