Death… And Me

One's cultivation speed was also related to one's Aptitude Color. Naturally, any descendant with a Gray or Brown Color Aptitude would be a lot slower than someone like Calina, who had a Blue Color. However, with the Imperial Family's resources and cultivation techniques, even those with poor aptitude could cultivate relatively well. 

However, Tissan Sasamil didn't fall under this case. He had a Green Color Aptitude. It wasn't anything too impressive in the Capital, but definitely above the majority. Still, he was only able to reach the Energy Gathering Realm after more than twenty years. That was definitely a terrible achievement for a member of the Family. It also explained why he wasn't allowed to live in the Palace anymore.

'Alright. I'll tell Droman here, and I should be out before night when the Core City Gates close.'

Roan nodded and returned to the Dalamu Residence first. Not long after, Rean gave Droman some excuse and said that he would be back the next day when the gates open again. Droman knew that Rean and Roan needed each other to cultivate properly, so he didn't think it was strange.

Rean first went to a Blacksmith Workshop and rented a room for himself. After confirming with Sister Orb that there weren't any monitoring formations present, Rean accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and brought a ton of Triliun Ore out.

He got a large amount of it after the war, so he didn't mind using it. Triliun Ore was an Earth Peak-Level Material. Usually, Rean wouldn't be able to forge anything with his cultivation. Fortunately, Rean wasn't trying to create a spiritual weapon or armor. Instead, he simply shaped the Triliun Ore into a huge cage.

He then sent it into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, where he built a simple concealing formation. Sister Orb was in control of everything inside, so she could easily prevent Spiritual Energy from reaching inside the cage. That would be the best place to hide the guy until Roan got the information they needed.

Using Triliun Ore to make a cage for an Energy Gathering Realm cultivator was quite an overpowered method, but Rean wanted to guarantee it. After all, he didn't know if Tissan had some treasure that could be dangerous for them.

Nighttime quickly arrived as Rean and Roan headed out to the building that the information pointed out. Tissan had been living there ever since he was sent out of the Core Region. 

The twins then went to a hidden corner where no one could see them. There, Rean activated his skills of concealment. Both Light and Spiritual Sense began to bend around Rean and Roan, making the two disappear into thin air.

'Do you need to be this close?'

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

'Just be thankful that you don't need to piggyback me anymore. Now shut up and use your own Dark Element to blend us with the shadows. It will make things easier on my side.'

The two then quickly arrived at the entrance. As an Imperial Family member, Tissan still had his own guards. After all, it was part of the face of the Imperial Family. However, his own guards were around the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Realm. There was only a single Core and Soul Fusion cultivator. They weren't anything impressive either.

Rean and Roan passed behind the guards without a sound. Rean could feel some Spiritual Senses, but none of them had the power to break through his skill. Eventually, they entered the building and began to make their way to Tissan.

'Where should we go first?'

'Let's go upstairs. It's already late at night, so he's probably in his room.'

The twins quickly passed by the corridors and stairs. There were a few guards inside as well, but they all failed to notice anything out of the ordinary. First of all, they didn't really think someone would come after Tissan since he was a member of the Imperial Family.

The only problem was that the twins couldn't use their Spiritual Sense either. After all, their Core Formation Realm Spiritual Sense would definitely be noticed by the guards. It was a common thing for important people to have Anti-Spiritual Sense formations that blocked everything from outside. The only Spiritual Senses that Rean could feel at the moment were the guards' senses. If a new one appeared, the guards would immediately understand that someone had entered the building.

Rean and Roan went through the doors one by one, trying to find where Tissan could be. However, even after looking into all the rooms on the upper floors, they couldn't see as much as a trace of the guy.

'Could it be that he's outside?'

Roan snorted.

'Well, he is a 21 years old Energy Gathering Realm trash, after all. He might be spending most of his time enjoying his status outside. No world is free of idiots like this.'

Rean nodded.

'In any case, we're already here. Let's check the lower floors to make sure we didn't miss anything. While we were looking into the rooms, we did find one that could probably the one Tissan uses. If we don't find Tissan, we can wait in that room until later to see if he comes back.'

Roan agreed with Rean, and they went downstairs once again. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything until they reached the 1st floor. 

Roan then shook his head before looking upstairs again.

'Seems like he is really out at the moment. Let's go to his room.'

However, Rean shook his head.

'No, something's not right.'

Roan looked at Rean, puzzled.

'What is it?'

Rean then explained.

'I've been thinking about the information we got from Tissan. He is an Imperial Family Member. Even if he only has a Gray Color Aptitude, he shouldn't have any issues entering Foundation Establishment. The Imperial Family has the resources and techniques to make it happen. Even if you were trash who only thought about playing around, would you give up the increase in lifespan that the Foundation Establishment Realm gives you?'

Roan narrowed his eyes. 

'That's true. So, what are you thinking?'
