"Grandmaster, we're done," a middle aged woman said as she ca up to Ning and Ely who were staying at the center of the island.
"Oh, good job Sonya. You took quite a bit less ti than Tanya did," Ning said. "Anyway, just wait her for a bit, after the rest are done, we'll leave."
Sonya nodded and sat down next to them and started understanding what had changed after she broke through to the other realm.
After a while, an older man arrived next to them as well. "Inikaka, we're done," he said.
"Oh, good job Junior," Ning said.
"I can't thank you enough, Inikaka. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't break through this ti around," Junior said.
"You would do nothing of course. You still had quite a few years before you needed to desperately look for other asures," Ning said. "I would have given you guys pills that would have increased your longevity, but that would have co at the cost of your cultivation."
"Either way, Inikaka, thank you."
Junior went back to check on his wife and son who were finally done consolidating as well.
"You never do call him with his na do you?" Ely asked from the side with a slight chuckle in her voice.
"Co on," Ning whispered a little. "I can't go around calling him Ning too. It just feels wrong using my own na for other people. I will just call him Junior like I've been for a while now."
Sonya laughed a little when she heard Ning.
"Alright, I'll start taking these people back. I will co back to take your niece back later," Ning said.
"Okay," Ely said. "The little girl should still need a bit more ti to breakthrough," Ely said.
Ning nodded and stood up before flying with Sonya to et the other people. Once he was there, he got the people back to their ho and ca back.
"She's done. She only needs to consolidate now," Ely said after Ning returned.
"I see," Ning said. "Well that helps."
"Are there anyone else left to bring back to cultivate?" Ely asked.
"Uhh… no, not really. Oh right, I should probably get back the three that have been chilling with their kind. They will be the next one then," Ning said.
"Alright, go get them."
Ning nodded and teleported away to the Central continent where he entered the tomb once more.
"You're back. Who did you find this ti?" the beasts excitedly asked him when he entered the tomb.
"Oh, sorry. I don't have anyone this ti. I'm only here to get my beasts for a few days. After that I will go find soon and bring them back together," Ning said.
"Oh, okay," the beasts said. "You've already found so many of them, that we will be thankful even if you don't wish to do this anymore."
"It's alright. I have nothing else to do these days anyway," Ning said. He left the place and went to the stone door to enter the secret realm.
However, just before he entered the door, he felt sothing pulse from behind him. "Huh?" he thought as he turned around.
The beasts saw him turn around and asked, "What is it, human?"
"That… did I just feel an aura right now?" he asked. "I think I felt sothing."
"I didn't feel anyhting," one of the beasts said.
" neither," another one said.
Every other beast said the sa thing.
"Weird. I was sure that i—" he stopped speaking and looked at the coffin in the middle of the tomb. 'Did that aura co from there?' he wondered and send out his divine sense to check. However, there was nothing coming from there.
'What am I thinking? The Primordial Holy Jade should stop all aura from escaping even if there was sothing happening inside,' Ning thought. 'Let's not waste more ti."
Ning walked up to the door and entered. After flying down from the cliff, he could easily see all the beasts, including his 3.
The beasts were used to him returning every few months, so they didn't show any real surprise, although they did co up to welco him.
"Master!" Blue shouted as he flew up to him. Aegis and Night flew behind him as well.
"Hey, you all. How are you guys?" he asked.
"You didn't co with soone this ti, master?" Aegis asked.
"No, I'm here for sothing else this ti," Ning said. "I'm here to get your guys actually."
"Oh, you're taking us?" Blue said with a weird tone. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or sad that he was going have to leave this place.
"Why? Do you like this place so much?" Ning asked.
"Truth be told master, I really do like this place. I like this place way more than the darkness you keep us in," Blue said. "I don't know what that darkness is, and it is comfortable, but it's also very… lonely."
"I feel the sa too. It wasn't until I lived here that I realized what I was missing, master," Aegis said.
"I'm fine staying in darkness, but… I have soone I care about now, master. If possible I would like to stay here for a little longer," Night finally spoke.
"Sigh, I know. I know all 3 of you have people you care for now, and I'm not here to take that away from you guys," Ning said.
"Oh," Blue said with surprise. "What are you here for then, master?"
"I found the Origin," Ning said. "I found it a few months ago. I've been taking people there to cultivate for a while now, and everyone has broken through to the next realm."
"Now, it's your turn," Ning said. "I ca to take you guys to the place so that you can break through to the other realm. After you are done, you can decide whatever you want."
"Really?" Blue asked excitedly.
"Of course," Ning said.. "Let's leave now."
