I woke up, feeling refreshed. It is not just because of the sleep, but also due to the progress I am making in two and a half days.

I didn't get up immediately and stayed on the bed for a few minutes, thinking before finally getting up.

If everything goes well, I will be reaching my destination today by evening. I am quite excited, this place has things, that could increase my strength and I have to increase it by seeing the new challenges.

In the two and a half days, I have not come across the cultist.

It is hard to find them, seeing as they could hide those damn tattoos at will. Anyone could be a cultist from the beast god cult; I won't know it until they bring out those tattoos.

Though, it might change today, if the method my clones and developed worked. I can't wait to try it.

I pushed away the thought of the method and quickly freshen and showered, before going to the kitchen.

There I cooked myself a simple breakfast and ate it, before sitting down on the couch. I cannot go out yet, the energies denser than I could bear.

So, I closed my eyes and entered my core.

Ting!

I remained there for forty-seven minutes before I heard the bell and opened my eyes. I got up and took a step forward, appearing outside of my abode a moment later.

The energies are dense, they are on the border of what I could bear.

I didn't move immediately and sent the soul waves out, which now become a little more efficient, with their range increasing by 6%. It might not seem much, but given the range of my soul waves, it is huge.

Not to mention, they are consuming slightly less energy than before.

I saw the Earth Sovereign and Sky Sovereign monsters. I also saw the abodes in hidden places, most of them belong to Earth Sovereign.

I didn't find any signature, for it, I needed to be close. It was just an educated guess, as Sky Sovereign wouldn't stay in the abode for long. Only Earth Sovereigns would; it is still strong for most of them to bear.

With the dangers mapped, I begin my journey.

I avoided every danger I could, while my strings would harvest the resources I would come across. There are a lot and I have amassed quite a lot of them.

Once I return to the organization, I am going to exchange quite a lot of them for what I need.

I already have most of the things I need, till I reach the Earth Sovereign, but I need more. It never hurts to have a few extra things.

Having extra helped me a lot when I got in struck in places. I don't like to be in such conditions, but it never hurts to remain prepared.

An hour and a half passed, and I had made at good when suddenly, I swerved from my path, and a few minutes later, I reached my target.

An Earth Sovereign, sneakily moving away from a wolf pack. He is strong enough to fight them but avoids them. They are not the only monsters here, and even if could fight them, it would take a few minutes for him to finish them off.

I came here sensing the man. He will be the first person on whom I will try my new method.

I raised my hand and beautiful pink rose petals appeared above my hand. They stayed there for a moment, before flying away with the wind, becoming invisible that even Sky Sovereigns wouldn't be able to sense them until reached really close.

It took nearly a minute for them to reach the man before they moved toward him and entered inside.

A second later, they came from the other side. There was no change.

If he had been a member of the divine beast cult, there would have been some change appearing on the petals, or the whole petals would have been destroyed or repelled.

I am not exactly sure, what change would occur since I haven't tested it, but I am sure there will be some.

These petals are designed to pick, the faintest amount of forbidden power. While the forbidden power from tattoos is nearly tight, it leaves behind the faintest trace, that even Prime wouldn't be able to sense, but my petals could.

At least, I believe they could.

I petals returned and seeped back into me, and I returned to my path, but every time I sensed the Earth Sovereign close, I would move toward them to test my petals.

Soon, two hours passed, and I tested my petals against the four Earth Sovereigns, but not a single one was cultist. Which isn't surprising despite my disappointment.

Even if they have come here in large numbers; I would need to check if thousands of people were in the hope of finding one.

The beast god cult doesn't accept anyone. There is a test and only those who pass the test become the members of the beast god cult, while the rest become the sacrifice for the beast god.

The test is quite hard from what I read. Most of the time, all get failed.

They select the best, and it is why, even their weakest members are Grade 2. It is what most of their members are; Grade 3 are rare, even in the beast god cult.

As for Grade 4, let's just say, the Beast god cult has them and each of them is a precious to them.

Forty minutes more passed, and I sensed another fight. I went to it, tested the petals, and walked away after getting a blank answer.

As for the fight, I didn't interfere. It is a personal matter between the two. What they do to each other is their responsibility.

Though I showed a little of my aura and they became cautious, not a single one asked for help.

So, it is clear, they want to solve whatever problem they are having on their own and don't need anyone's help.
