Death… And Me

Chapter 632 - Selection

She quickly went inside and saw Frandin sitting in a corner, cultivating. Not only him, but it seemed like his humans were also doing the same, which surprised Xiria. Of course, she still couldn\'t feel their cultivation due to Roan\'s Spiritual Sense bending skill.

"Do you also allow your humans to cultivate?"

Frandin smiled at her as he replied with a question.

"Is that a problem? Could it be that you guys like your humans but are afraid of them revolting?"

Xiria immediately shook her head as she responded.

"Of course not. I refuse to believe that you didn\'t notice that quite a few of our humans are in the Body Transformation Stage. Some have even reached the Energy Gathering Realm. However, I didn\'t expect that you\'d allow your humans to do it. Though, why can\'t I feel their cultivation?"

Usually, one wouldn\'t feel someone else\'s cultivation for two reasons. First, they didn\'t have any cultivation. Second, their cultivation was much higher. Of course, it was also possible to open your cultivation for viewing, but people normally didn\'t do that.

The problem was that they were cultivating, but she couldn\'t feel anything from them. Just like Frandin, she was in the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so she could feel his cultivation. She definitely didn\'t believe Roan\'s group had higher cultivation than her.

Frandin then explained to her.

"You won\'t be able to feel it. No one will. All I can tell you is that this is a secret technique my elders passed onto me. However, you can guess why I\'m doing this, right?"

Xiria was taken aback for a moment and immediately began to ponder over the issue. Sure enough, it only took a second for her to understand.

"I see... If the humans with cultivation walk out in the open, they will attract a lot of attention. Although there are a few who allow their humans to cultivate, they aren\'t many. The best option is to hide it. It will prevent a lot of problems that way."

Frandin nodded, satisfied with her answer.

"It\'s good that you know. Anyway, how did it go?"

Frandin didn\'t tell what cultivation Roan\'s group was at, nor did Xiria ask. For her, the fact that Frandin had such a high-level cultivation concealing technique was another positive point. It made it more obvious that he was truly from a Celestial Land. Frandin wasn\'t about to try to fix that notion either.

"Oh, that\'s right. I talked with our ancestor, and she said that as long as you include the clan in this deal, she will comply with it."

"She? Your ancestor is a woman?"

Xiria nodded as she smiled in response. Although it wasn\'t anything rare to see high-level female cultivators, they usually didn\'t like the title of \'Ancestor.\' After all, everyone always thought of them as someone very old, and women definitely didn\'t like to hear that.

"She is. Anyway, she said she has access to the Soul Purity Test for humans you want."

Frandin laughed as he asked her.

"Hahaha! It seems like she told you a little bit about the Soul Rulers, huh?"

Xiria nodded, responding.

"She did. I didn\'t think that such a thing existed. However, we shouldn\'t talk about it, right?"

Frandin agreed with her.

"Indeed. Anyway, as long as she accepts it, then so be it. What about my partner?"

Xiria then explained.

"Everything is fine. She agreed to gather the people who wish to go with you. I\'ll come by later to bring you the list."

Frandin was even more satisfied now.

"Great. Let me know when you\'re ready."

Later that day, Frandin was brought to another place in the clan. There, he found many Zasfins who had varying cultivation levels and ages. Sure enough, those were the ones who decided to take the risk to go out with him. Laun, Xiria, and the elders also made sure that these ones were also of the same opinion about humans. After all, it was not because the clan liked humans that everyone had the same ideology. That being said, quite a few, who were influenced by the outside, didn\'t like humans either. Of course, those ones were definitely not present at the moment.

All of them had their cultivations wide open. That meant that even if some of them had cultivations higher than Frandin, he would be able to tell what level it is. Frandin then used his Spiritual Sense to tell Roan\'s group about their cultivation.

Xiria then took the chance and brought everyone forward to introduce themselves.

"Hi! I\'m Vitan Asume, A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"I\'m Ophel Asume, 32 years old. I\'m in the Initial Stage."

"As for me..."

There was a total of twenty-one Zasfins present. Quite a few of them were accompanied by their own human servants. Just as Xiria had commented, these humans all had their own cultivation, mostly in the Body Transformation or Energy Gathering Realm. For Roan\'s group, that was a good sign.

Since Qia was there with them, she was also able to analyze their Slave Collars. All humans she saw in the state so far were using them, including these ones. However, she could tell that they were all fake ones that posed no threat whatsoever. It was all just a pretense for other visitors. After all, the clan also received many Zasfins for several reasons: business, agreements, discussions, etc. They still had to keep up their appearances.

With that, all of them presented themselves.

"I see, so it\'s these twenty-one people."

Xiria shook her head as she corrected him.

"It\'s twenty-two."

She then bowed and once again introduced herself.

"I\'m Xiria Asume, Late Stage Foundation Establishment Zasfin, 27 years old."

Frandin\'s group was surprised to see that. When they asked for a Zasfin to follow them, they were expecting someone with less importance. After all, he didn\'t say what they would be going through after this.

"Oh! So you\'re also a candidate, huh? However, that won\'t give you any type of advantage in this selection. Are you okay with that?"

Xiria nodded as it improved the moods of the others. They thought that because Xiria was there, their chances were low, but it seemed like they were wrong.
