Death... and me
chapter-805

Rean then left a few hours later, who was escorted by a Zasfin until they got out of the Soul Rulers' territory. As for Qia, she was brought to Sevinia, who would put her inside their part of the Zasfin Army. The Soul Rulers had a lot of humans, and they all lived in the headquarters as well. That being said, it wasn't anything unusual for a few of them to reach the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Even the Nascent Soul Realm wasn't an exception. After all, until some time ago, the headquarters had so much Spiritual Energy that even high-ranked Spirit Stones couldn't match it.

As for whether it was risky or not, the Zasfins didn't mind it much since such a level of cultivation was simply too low for them. Well, at least, they didn't mind it until a few years ago. Nowadays, the humans that remained had always been under great vigilance. It wasn't a problem for Qia, though. She was put inside the Hafel Clan by Sevinia herself, after all.

Rean then flew to a mountain a few thousand kilometers away from Watisan City. Even after Celis was gone, the ice and snow still covered most of it. Usually, the place would be empty. This wasn't the case this time, though. At the moment he arrived, he spread his Spiritual Sense and quickly found what he wanted, saying through Spiritual Sense, 'Kentucky, I'm back. Come out.'

The Demon Bird that hadn't appeared in some time finally showed its presence after that. It had been hiding in the mountain while using the same Spiritual Sense bending skill as Rean. Of course, for Rean, it was useless. "You're finally back! I thought I was going to die from boredom already. If you took any longer, I would leave and make you return on your own."

Rean laughed in response, saying, "Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. I know you're probably missing your nest quite a lot."

"You bet! It only makes sense to have a nest on top of Celis if I at least stop there every now and then." Kentucky explained as he quickly beside Rean. "Hop on! I'll leave you at Roan's location before I go back to Celis in the Demon Beast Continent."

Rean nodded in response and immediately sat on Kentucky's back with Red. "That's fine. Though, make sure to return to the Demon Beast Army after you recharge yourself in your nest."

Kentucky didn't waste time after that as he flew at breakneck speeds. At the same time, Rean activated his Light and Spiritual Sense bending skills, making all three of them disappear in thin air. As Kentucky flew back, Rean took out a white brooch that looked like a half-moon. After that, he infused his Spiritual Energy fused with his Soul Power into it, followed by his own Light Element. Finally, he sent his Spiritual Sense inside with a message, asking, 'Qia, can you hear me?'

Qia, who was also using a similar brooch under her clothes, felt it become warm before she sent her Spiritual Sense inside. Surprisingly, she heard Rean's voice right after, exclaiming, 'It actually works! This is impressive! How did you make this thing?'

Rean smiled while on top of Kentucky's back as he replied, 'Actually, I used some of the Thoughts Transmission Talisman's runes in it. After that, I applied the Circuitry Formation Runes that we were working on back in Sunkan. Do you remember when I explained to you that electrical signals could be bent with Spiritual Energy? That's the principle behind it.'

Qia immediately understood what he was talking about. 'I see! The two brooches have the same receptors, which used your Light Element as a way of identifying each other. The runes from the talisman are used to save the Spiritual Sense Message. On the other hand, the signal wave is created by the Electrical Runes through the use of our Spiritual Energy. It then uses our Spiritual Energy to bend its trajectory, which should be impossible if it was just a normal...errr...radio wave, was it?'

Sure enough, as someone who participated in the creation of the Circuitry Formations back in Sunkan, Qia knew a lot about the Circuitry Formation Runes. As a Formation Master, it only took a few words from Rean for her to understand the process behind it.

Rean couldn't help but feel satisfied with Qia's answer. 'Hahaha! Good! Very good! I had a lot of free time in the Soul Rulers' headquarters and the Freedom Sect. I took that time to work on this thing. Too bad I only had time to make these two. Nevertheless, once I get back, I'll try to craft a few more.'

In the end, the brooch was too small for all the necessary runes. That being said, Rean failed numerous times until he finally got two of them right. That was the culmination of a lot of research and trials. The worst part was that he didn't have other devices that allowed him to work on even smaller runes. Rean had to try them manually.

Back in Sunkan, Rean's group was doing exactly just that. They were using the machines they created, which could build smaller runes. Once one was completed, they used that device to make even smaller runes. That showed just how difficult Rean's work was. If not for his cultivation at the Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn't have the necessary control to achieve it.

It was then that Qia asked, 'By the way, what do you call this thing? Are you going to call it the Thoughts Transmission Formation? That doesn't really sound nice.'

Rean had to admit that he hadn't thought about a name for it yet, so he began to ponder over it. 'Hmm...should I call it the Cellphone? Maybe the Spiritual Cellphone? It doesn't really have a battery, though...calling it a Mobile Phone would be a better fit for it. Oh well, I stole so many names already. I might as well steal this one.'

Rean then sent Qia another message, telling her, 'You can call it the Spiritual Smartphone.' Not that it had any smart function. Anyhow, Rean just liked the name...and he really might be able to create one in the future by using this prototype as a base.
