"What is a Celis?" Rifindio was as confused as ever. He hadn't heard about Celis yet.
Kentucky then sent him a Divine Sense ssage, explaining everything.
"Is there such a thing for you birds?" Sure enough, he was quite surprised that Kentucky could increase his cultivation speed just by having a nest on a Divine Demon Tree. His Camazotz Bat Race didn't have such a thing.
Then, they stopped on the main road leading to the main building in the distance. Together with that building, quite a big tree could be seen, almost a hundred ters in height. The main building itself seed to be built around it, and many cultivators and their demon beasts ca in and out of it.
"This..." Rifindio was taken aback. Now that they got a lot closer, he could feel the Divine Bloodline slightly better. Although it was still faint, Rifindio was certain it was coming from that tree where the main building of the Tars Guild was built around. The tree itself seed to work as its main pillar. "You can't really be planning to take that tree, right? I don't think they will let you do it. Besides..."
Rifindio looked around and could see several cultivators glancing at them. They were indeed in their humanoid forms, but demon beasts in humanoid form carry several traits of their race on their bodies. Kentucky, for example, had several black and white feathers. Even if they didn't have such a thing, their Demonic Aura made it way too obvious their origins. "I feel like we aren't exactly welco in here."
Any demon beast in the tars guild had an owner, were it by choice or by force. You wouldn't see demon beasts walking on their own in the guild, especially demon beasts without an owner. Demon beasts who had their tars were easily identifiable as they normally carried the guild's emblem on their bodies. Neither Kentucky nor Rifindio had such a thing.
Kentucky completely ignored all the tars' eyes, continuing to walk to the main building at the back. "Of course, I want that tree. Look, it's a parasol tree! However, its bloodline... or should I call it sapline? Anyway, it is very faint indeed. Nonetheless, just its presence indirectly affects the environnt. The guys who put it there knew what they were doing."
Kentucky then entered the main building, and Rifindio could only resign to his fate, following closely behind.
Inside, one of the tar guild's mbers ca forward, a cultivator who was also in the Void Tempering Realm. "We don't really get Demon Beasts to co to our guild on their own, except when they are running away from sothing. In that case, they are willing to give up their freedom to receive the protection of the guild. Are you perhaps here for the sa thing? Or perhaps you ca to cause trouble? Not many demon beasts are happy with our guild, after all."
Kentucky glanced at the guy, shaking his head. "Not really. I just thought I'd seen a friend, so I ca to pay a visit."
"A friend?" The guy narrowed his eyes. "If you have a Demon Beast friend who is also soone's Demon Beast, I can arrange for a eting."
"Oh! There is no need. He is right there." Kentucky pointed forward. In the center of that entrance hall, the trunk of the Parasol Tree occupied a big part of the area. That was also where many counters where the mbers of the guild worked, receiving requests, providing information, and doing things like that.
Yet, that wasn't what Kentucky really paid attention to. Instead, he was looking at a circular belt that surroundings the trunk of the tree. Countless runes appeared and faded, and a colored light revolved around it.
The guy looked in that direction, and he could indeed see several demon beasts. After all, the tars coming inside with their demon beasts wasn't anything out of the norm. "There?
Which one? There are quite a few."
Kentucky smiled and flashed forward.
*Zush!*
In the next mont, he was right in front of the parasol tree trunk, smiling. He was now behind the counters, catching the attention of the workers and the other mbers. "Hey there, big guy." Finally, he put his hand on the trunk, sending his Divine Sense inside.
"What are you doing?!" Sure enough, the person who received Kentucky and quite a few other mbers wouldn't just let Kentucky do as he pleased.
'Rifindio, hold them a little. I need to focus for a mont,' Kentucky's voice echoed in Rifindio's mind.
Rifindio bitterly smiled. In the end, Kentucky truly ca here to cause trouble. 'I don't think Rean and Roan will be happy with the way you are acting.'
Kentucky didn't seem to care, though. 'So what? I'm also not happy with many things they do, but here we are. Leave those two to , and just keep everyone away.'
Without another choice, Rifindio imdiately moved, blocking the path of those who wanted to take Kentucky away from the Parasol Tree. "Errr... Ahem! Don't worry. He is just having a conversation with his friend. It won't take long."
"His friend?" An elder of the Tars guild appeared, his expression not very good. "This Parasol Tree has been here for over two thousand years, and no one ever ca here to talk to it. Do you take us for a fool? I don't know who you are, and I don't want to start a battle in this place. However, you must leave imdiately. Otherwise, we will have to add two new Demon Beasts to our guild. Judging by your cultivation, I'm pretty sure quite a few tars will be interested in having you."
Rifindio was initially trying to calm things down. However, he was still a Camazotz Bat. When had he ever heard soone saying they would ta him. "Geezer, you people better stay back and let him finish. Otherwise, see how this guild will lose quite a few tars today."
Rifindio's aura then spread, and his Divine Bloodline appeared. Thanks to Roan's pills, it had a different aura than the Camazotz, but it was still a Divine Bloodline. "Divine Bloodline!" Everyone was taken aback. However, their eyes soon shined.
The elder couldn't help but feel excited. "The agreent of our Universe to not hunt Divine Bloodlines is only valid when the Divine Bloodline Demon Beasts don't cause trouble first, and only while they are in their territories. Those rules don't apply to Divine Demon Beasts who co out on their own. Today, we are finally putting our hands on a Divine Demon
Beast."
