Chapter 10: The Four Great Families
"Old man, there are still other rotting bones aside from you?"
Augustus felt a little irritated, 'How can this brat openly insult us old experts', he thought to himself.
But sigh, I am too kind hearted. And fortunately those three also have a thick patience, otherwise.. he's dead.
"Brat, don't you insult other people openly like you did, if you encounter some hot tempered experts, you'll be dead the moment you finish speaking" Augustus warned him with a serious look.
"Hmph, I understand at least that much, besides it doesn't seem you're a bad guy at all" Kuro retorted.
"Where did you get that confidence of yours, Haiz" The old man sighed again.
'I've been sighing so much since I met this brat' Augustus felt irritated for real this time, But...he was too kind hearted to make a move against this brat.
"Before I tell you about those other old foggers, We must devise a plan if you want to kill that Divine Beast."
Kuro nodded, this time he revealed a serious expression.
Seeing Kuro, he continued to discuss his plans.
"The plan was simple, The four of us need to set up a killing formation and an escape formation, The killing formation is for us to kill the Divine Beast, while the escape formation ensures our safety after the battle. I assume you know the coordinates of Omega City, we can directly teleport there, at the same time we will seek refuge inside." Augustus explained the plan, although it was vague he got the gist of it.
"Coordinates of Omega City? Old man, if you're planning to take your old friends to take control of the city then cut it out. We have Senior Bau guarding the Omega City, he's a Half-Step Heaven Realm Expert!" Kuro stated proudly.
Augustus widened his eyes, he had no evil intentions regarding the city, they were old anayway. At most they will spend the rest of their life living comfortably without many worries. But this Kuro brat in front of him actually said that there is a Half-Step Heaven Realm Expert guarding the city.
That was Half-Step Heaven Realm! If it is true then he is about to ascend the Heavenly World. but at the moment, he is the strongest cultivator in the world. Even if it's not true, He's atleast Peak God Sovereign Realm, even then, he will be still the strongest as there were no Sovereign God Realm Expert left in this world anymore.
He deduced that this Senior Bau must be an Ancient One who secluded himself deep within the World, to be precise near the World's Core.
All Cultivator at Celestial God Realm knows that there are two things to cultivate faster. First was to find the highest mountains or build their own highest peaks, that's because the higher you are the closer you are to the dense cultivation essence in the sky. The other method was cultivating deep down below in the World's Core, the world's core contained a huge amount of Cultivation Essence and it was a thousand times denser than the Cultivation Essence your in the sky.
That was because the world's core needs Cultivation Essence to maintain the stature of the world and prevent it from falling apart. But, even if there were many cultivator chooses to cultivate there, they won't be able to damage the core to a certain extent.
Even if thousands of cultivators reached Sovereign God Realm, it would only cost a single percent on total cultivation essence reserves of the world's core.
"This Senior Bau you mention, how come I jave never heard of him before?" Augustus needs to verify his suspicions first.
"Hah, Senior Bau cultivates deep down in the world's core evee since the creation of this world, how can you know him?" Kuro replied arrogantly.
"I see" Augustus replied, His assumption were correct, he really cultivated deep down there.
"I have no intention of taking your city nor have other evil thoughts, we just want to live peacefully before we pass away" Augustus replied, he had lived in the outer region for a thousand years, he never had any chance to rest as he was constantly on guard.
He wanted to live comfortably and peacefully before he died, or guide his descendants if he had one. (Author: Wait...he actually had one, haiz this old man is really old he actually forgot the most important thing.)
"Ehem, back to the pressing matter. There used to be Four Great Families within this area. Including my Reinbach Family there were, Gleipbach, Sklybach, and Grubach Families. We supported each other even in times of crisis and we has no internal issues at all. That's why this specific area in the former Hummer Empire was the last place to became ruined. Approximately 1,100 yrs ago"
"But alas, even we cannot stop those divine beasts, 100 years later, that was 1,000 years ago. We decided to send oour descendants into a massive flying ship to escape in place. But after a month we received a news that the flying ship was attacked by a Celestial God Realm Divine Beast ."
"Annihilating our descendants" He said with a grim expression.
Kuro was dumbfounded when he heard the old man's story, such a thing actually happened in the past? I had been living comfortably in th Omega City due to our Guardians Efforts. But it seems like not everyone was lucky enough to survive this calamity.
