Their group walked through the streets and soon arrived at a relatively big building. Everything was dark inside, making it hard to see the surroundings. Rean and Kentucky entered without caring about it. They could feel there was a Spatial Formation in place, and each custor would be sent to a different room where they would.
Kentucky simply used his Spatial Proficiency to ignore the separation process, allowing Rean, Sonzei, and Fafa to be teleported to the sa place inside the Information Trading Center.
The cultivators inside imdiately noticed how the formation failed to activate, quickly warning the expert who was protecting the building. Not long after, an Early Stage Void Tempering Realm expert appeared in the sa room as Rean and the others, ready to throw the troublemakers out.
However, the mont he appeared, his Divine Sense was able to see Rean and Kentucky's cultivation. Kentucky and Rean left it open on purpose so that the other side they weren't experts they could afford to offend.
The man's expression froze for a mont. However, he was experienced, even if it was the first ti he had seen such high cultivation in his life. His lips curved into a smile and he joined his hands while rubbing them. "Now, now, now. That's not sothing I see every day, for sure. Welco to our humble Information Trading Center. We will do our very best to attend to all your demands without hiding anything."
Rean stopped showing his cultivation and nodded with an even brighter smile. "Hahaha! That is very nice of you, good sir. Sorry for ssing up with your Spatial Formation. Don't worry, though. We did not break it."
"Please don't mind such trivial problems," the man shook his head. "Even if it broke, it wouldn't be worth the concern of such esteed guests. Sirs have no need to worry about price either. Just the chance of receiving such great experts in our Information Trading Center is worth more than any amount of Divine Stones we could ask for."
"Well, I shall accept your hospitality then," Rean said. "We are looking for information regarding this Island. The Mirror Sea seems to avoid and interact with it sohow. Still, it seems like no one knows why the Mirror Sea is like it is now. Could it be no one tried to check this Island or move it elsewhere as so kind of experint?"
The man understood Rean. The Mirror Sea was indeed strange, so he thought Rean was here for so kind of treasure that no one else had found yet. "That is easy to answer, sir. Yes, there were those who tried to move this Island away. In fact, this isn't the only one. There are another eight Islands, just like this one."
"However," he continued. "it is impossible."
"Impossible?" Rean and Kentucky asked at the sa ti.
The man nodded. "Many things were tried to remove this Island from its place. Formations, brute force, teleportation, you na it. Yet, it simply doesn't budge. Of course, I doubt we ever had an expert with sir's strength visit us before, so I can't say for certain that you also can't. Nonetheless, it is definitely impossible for the experts of our Hustis Continent."
Rean asked sothing else. "I see... What about excavating it or sothing like that? Sure there must be sothing on this Island that causes this phenonon, right? Perhaps the secret to the Mirror Sea's actual state is also related to it."
"For that, sir can go up the Island and see the old excavation sights yourself," The man explained. "At first, it is possible to make your way into the center of the Island like any other excavation. However, it soon starts to beco harder and harder. Finally, at around one hundred ters mark, going forward becos impossible. Whatever treasure might exist there, no one from this continent was able to acquire it until now. In the end, everyone simply gave up."
He also added. "Just so you can have an idea. This Island wasn't this lush before. The experts who initially tried to find what was happening here completely eliminated the Island's 'shell' around the center. In the end, they simply ended up with a smaller island that couldn't be excavated any further. There were no entrances or anything like that. Just so kind of power preventing anyone from prying inside."
"As I ntioned, everyone gave up in the end. As ti passed, this Island slowly changed into a settlent for those crossing the Mirror Sea. The core of the Island is not visible anymore. Even if it was, there is nothing there for you unless you can find a way to excavate further."
Rean pondered a bit. 'Nine Islands, all with the sa features. Impossible to be moved away, impossible to excavate into their cores.' he then connected to Sister Orb. 'Are you thinking the sa thing as , Sister Orb?'
[Yes,] Sister Orb swiftly answered. [I'm pretty sure this thing is a Natural Formation, and the Nine Islands work as the stabilizing runes sohow.]
Rean agreed with her. 'I wonder why it beca like this...'
[That's the problem with Natural Formations.] Sister Orb sighed in response. [They appear naturally and don't really need a reason to exist. The conditions just happened to be right, so it ca to be. Thinking about why this Natural Formation took place is a aningless task.]
Rean had to admit she was right. 'Well, so be it. At least, this is the kind of phenonon you would expect from a Universe Foundation Fragnt. The scale is big enough, but the results are too 'bland' for anyone to care. No wonder Hyeoumu said it was the smallest Fragnt of them all.'
Finally, Rean turned his attention to the man, who was still smiling at him while waiting for the next question. Right after, he pulled Sonzei to his side and pointed at his face. "What can you tell about Sonzei's tribe? Especially their bloodline.
