Re:Immortal

Chapter 71

"Are you almost finished, master Silas?" asked Omis as he turned to glance back at Silas.

Looking at Omis, whose gaze was still cold after killing the 'Phantomling' Silas felt shivers run down his spine as Omis's eyes seemed to glow in the dimly lit cave.

"A-ah! Yes! I only need a couple more minutes." He answered, returning his attention back to the array below.

The sound of glass shattering was heard as the dome-shaped shield that Addi had summoned finally broke into small shards before completely disappearing.

"*Cough* *Cough*! What took you so damn long?!" Shouted Addi as he turned to glare at Omis who had a sheepish smile on his face.

"Haha, sorry, sorry! I didn't think the bastard was that smart." Replied Omis while awkwardly scratching his head.

"Hmph." Letting out a harrumph, Addi tapped his storage ring and brought out two small white pills, he then threw one into his mouth and tossed the second one to Leyla who caught it with a bewildered expression.

"You are giving this to me old man?" She asked with suspicion, as she sniffed the pill in apprehension.

"What do you want?" She asked with a doubtful expression.

"This brat, what would want from you, hmph!" Answered Addi before he turned towards Silas. Seeing that, Leyla shrugged her shoulders and tossed the pill in her mouth, and sat down cross-legged in meditation as she healed the small injuries she suffered from the backlash.

As Addi and Omis walked closer to Silas, his eyes suddenly changed colors to a glowy golden color, as light seemed to seep out of them. The pages of his floating book started turning about wildly letting out a similar golden color cover the entire room.

" , !"

With his completely golden eyes wide open, Silas chanted an incarnation causing the teleportation array to start flashing a hazy blue light.

"!" With one final shout, the entire array gave forth a blinding light causing the group to cover their eyes before it softened.

"Is it working?" Asked Omis.

Silas whose eyes had now returned to their normal color answered in a tired tone.

"Yes, yes it is done." He said before letting out a tired yawn.

"So this thing will take us to the heavenly realm?" Asked Leyla in curiosity.

Nodding, Silas continued. "Yes, we just have to stand in the middle of the formation and feed it our Qi and it should do the rest."

"Yay~! What are we waiting for then? Let's go!" She enthusiastically answered before jumping to the middle of the formation.

Omis followed after her, then Silas, before finally came Addi's turn. He stood there at the edge of the formation his feet not yet inside as he looked at it with a complicated expression before raising his head to glance at Omis who was waiting for him with a smile.

Letting out a sigh, Addi shook his head and took that final step towards the formation joining with the group.

"Ready?" Asked Silas as he looked at the group, who all nodded solemnly.

Closing his eyes, he then began to feed his Qi to the array causing its various patterns to light up even brighter as the group slowly began to feel the power of teleportation surround them.

Space appeared to crumble around them before finally they all suddenly disappeared in a flash leaving behind the now half-lit formation, its light slowly dimming back before it completely dissolved reverting the array back to its former ruined state.

---------------

On top of a desolated ruined mountain, a bright flash of light briefly appeared before the four figures of Omis, Addi, Leyla, and Silas walked out.

Stretching her arms, Leyla scanned their surroundings before speaking.

"Whoa~! Everything is still a complete mess!"

Nodding, Silas turned to Omis and said.

"Well then, I suppose my work here is finished?"

Giving him a warm smile, Omis answered.

"Yes, you can just sit back and relax master Silas, leave the rest for us!"

"Oh! How are we going to find your disciple brother Omis?" Asked Leyla as she floated next to him.

Hearing her question, Omis grinned and brought out a black and white amulet from his spacial storage. A faint purple link extended from it towards the distance.

Seeing that, Omis heaved a sigh of relief before he turned to look at the group and spoke.

"She's here, Lu Lu is here!" He said restlessly.

*Slap*

"Ouch! What the hell was that for?!" He shouted, holding the back of his head where Addi had just slapped him.

"Calm down, it's going to be alright," Addi answered calmly as he gazed towards the distance, causing a small smile to make its way on Omis's face.

"The old man is being too nice, it's creepy..." Whispered Leyla to Silas who silently nodded.

Turning to glare at her Addi growled. "I can hear you, you brat!"

"Scary~!"

"Alright, then people, no time to lose we're moving!" Omis interrupted them.

"Finally~!" Hearing that Leyla grinned before she summoned a giant purple flower, she then jumped unto it before turning to smile at the rest of them.

"Oh! I forgot it's okay to use our cultivation base right now, yes?" She sheepishly asked.

Silas was the one to reply to her question.

"Yes, the space in the Heavenly realm is too unstable, it's very hard for 'the hive' to track us down unless they are very near."

Saying that a bright flash of light appeared next to him before it morphed into the shape of a back qilin, he gently patted the animal's head before hopping on his back.

Addi simply summoned his old sturdy cauldron and sat on it cross-legged. Seeing that everyone was ready, Omis nodded before turning into a bright beam of light that flew in the direction where the faint purple light pointed followed by Addi, Leyla, and Silas.

As the group flew in the realm's broken sky, various void cracks opened all around threatening to swallow them whole, yet they were all unphased as they continued towards their destination.

They passed by countless broken celestial mountains and ruined sects, Leyla did not seem to mind the destruction as she had never seen Heavens in its old glory, but Omis, Addi, and Silas did.

Seeing what was once considered the ultimate destination for cultivators, a place people used to dream of visiting reduced to such a miserable state caused complicated feelings to swell inside their chests.

It was Leyla's serious voice that broke them from their trance.

"We got company!"
