Mixed Blessing System



To understand the situation of a level 24 or higher cultivator, imagine a street that has a drainage system, but under certain circumstances, it could be flooded.

For example, one of the drainage points might be full of garbage and other things that prevent it from absorbing all the water that reaches it. As a result, after a heavy storm, it might become blocked and unable to absorb the water.

Cultivators felt something similar to this situation when they reached level 24. There was water or energy for them to absorb, but for various reasons, which they didn't understand, they couldn't absorb that spirituality to progress.

Without someone to 'clean out' the 'garbage' on them that prevented them from absorbing that 'water,' they couldn't move forward even though there was something to absorb.

Not only that, like a flooded street, once the garbage was removed at one or more points and the drainage channels were cleared, the water could quickly drain away and no longer flood the street.

In other words, there was a limit to how far they could go without exhausting this world, which made each of these high-level cultivators much more committed to their seclusion than anyone else.

Not just any situation would bring the world's strongest out of their seclusion. Even the appearance of a hybrid wouldn't be enough for these experts to come out of their seclusion.

They had no way to absorb the bone of someone like Lothur, so hardly any of them would move for him unless someone like the young Ritter decided to massacre the entire continent.

But these cultivators were the ultimate protectors of the continent. If someone like the Demon Emperor were to appear, they would definitely not allow the world to be destroyed or taken over by these creatures.

As much as weak beings were of little importance to these experts, and most of the people in the world were like that, even the smallest insects could interfere with the fate of nature in this world.

One or two stray insects wouldn't be missed. But if all the worms and small creatures suddenly disappeared, even the peak cultivators would face huge problems.

The experts at that post knew that they had these elders as their ultimate weapon, so they didn't despair even if their group was delayed in finding and eliminating the damned hybrid.

"Anyway, if he gets stronger, the elders will interfere when he starts massacring our world. So we just have to be careful until he makes the mistake of alerting our elders." The strongest of the three said, reassuring his companions.

...

Meanwhile, Lothur's party had finally reached Rablus' border with the Ancestral Region!

Lothur remembered where the Tyrannosaurus Rex had taken him before. He didn't know exactly how to get there, but he knew it was in the Ancestral Region. Using what he had seen and felt in that place, he could use his One With Nature ability to find his way there.

So, the moment he and his women arrived in the area, he immediately began to search for information about the place that could lead his group there.

After a few moments connected with the awareness of the special vegetation of this area, much stronger and more spiritual than what he could find in other areas of the continent, Lothur got his answer.

Opening his eyes and rising from where he had been sitting, he said to his women. "Let us move on. We'll reach his tribe in about six hours. It's not far from here."

"Are you sure he will be in this tribe, Lothur? We must be careful. This is the Ancestral Region!" Viktoria said as she worriedly eyed the area they were in.

But that was the natural reaction of people entering this region for the first time.

The Ancestral Region was legendary to most people in this world, and academies all over the continent spread the word about the dangers one would face if they entered this area, which was home to mighty beasts.

The Ancestral Region was not friendly to humans. With several races that could easily cultivate to the 4th stage in this territory, even humans in this cultivation realm would have to be careful in this area.

At the same time, even the vegetation in this area could be aggressive and dangerous to those who didn't know the area.

Some beings had to devour others in order to survive or even become stronger!

If they came into contact with one of them, even if a group like theirs was peaceful, they could still face countless challenges along the way.

And even if they were Sages and not Saints, there were undoubtedly several Sages in this area, and they weren't entirely safe.

Viktoria had no problem entering this place to go to an acquaintance who would be waiting for them at a certain point. But going to a tribe of powerful beasts without knowing their ally was there was dangerous.

Lothur looked at his wife and said. "If he's not there, we'll find people who can tell us where he is. In any case, I've been there before, so his men will recognize me. Rest assured, at our level, few beings would dare to challenge us, even considering the 5th-stage elders who live in the area.

Just to be sure, let's raise our level. In this area, people in the 4th stage would hardly dare to do what we are doing, so let your auras return to normal."

They quickly did as he said, but their appearance remained altered.

Then they flew through the area at high speed, this time using the speed of level 23 Sages, moving so fast that the many living beings in the area didn't even notice them.

As they traveled north, the trees in Lothur's path seemed to clear a path for him and show him the way to go, helping him avoid tribal territories and 5th-stage expert sites.

By doing this for a while, Lothur's party would be noticed by the Ancestral Folk's observers when they were close to the dinosaur territory. However, since they were much stronger than the Ancestral Region observers, they could get close to the tribe they were interested in without delay.

When Lothur got close enough to the core of the tribe to sense all of the dinosaurs there, he used his abilities to search for the being he was interested in, seeing that there were few Sages there at the moment.

Even so, there were some individuals he would rather avoid!

"Elke and Annaliese, I want you to go deep into this area and look for elder Cykad. He's the friend I'm looking for and is in his tribe now."
