Re:Immortal - Chapter 137

Back in the knowledge seekers sect, Dina was standing in the air with a frown on her face, her hair flew freely behind her back as she observed the battle above.

Mace the drunken swordsman had a gourd of wine in his hand as he laid down under a tree, he occasionally took large gulps from the gourd, some drops of wine spilled on his chest yet he seemed unbothered as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes would wander to Dina who was standing unmoving above the ground.

“Oh my dear Dina, can you even see anything from there?” He asked before a hiccup escaped his mouth.

Hearing his question, Dina frowned as she coldly glanced down at him before speaking. “It seems like some corpses have fallen all across the mortal realm.” She said a frown on her face.

“Tsk, what crazy attack got the entire heavenly formation to collapse?” Mumbled Mace before shaking his head, he then leaned back and took another gulp from his wine gourd.

Dina’s eyes were glowing brightly as she brought her gaze down from the sky and examined the land, it appeared as if she was able to see everything.

“The mortal world’s holy lands are staying put, I’m surprised.” She mumbled.

“Isn’t it because of brother Omis’s speech?” Asked Mace.

“En, but the small fries on the other hand are flocking towards the corpses.” She continued a hint of disappointment clear in her voice.

“You can even see that much?” Whistled Mace before he added. “I mean, I always knew that golems were amazing, but as expected of my Dina! You are so perfect!” He smiled before giving her a thumbs up.

Dina’s face turned ugly as she turned to glance at Mace with a disgusted face, she shook her head and acted as if she did not hear what he said before speaking

“Some of the corpses appear to belong to the ‘Hunters’ masters.” She frowned.

“What do you want to do?” Asked Mace, his expression turned serious for the first time.

“Bring them back here.” She spoke, her tone extremely cold, brought shivers down Mace’s spine yet an extremely wide smile made its way into his face as he nodded before replying.

“Ah! As expected, my Dina is the best!” He said as he gave her another thumbs up earning him a disgusted look from Dina.

“When will you accept my love?” Asked Mace with a feigned sad expression.

“Stop messing around dear, you don’t want to help me in one of my researches now do you?” She said with a beaming smile on her face, yet once mace heard her, he hastily jumped to his feet before giving her a deep bow.

“Please don’t oh great one!” He said in an exaggerated motion causing Dina to roll her eyes in contempt.

“Hmph, let’s go we are retrieving the bodies. Who knows maybe we will finally learn more about these so-called masters.” She said a terrifying grin that caused shivers to run down Mace’s spine was plastered on her face as she thought of the various experiments she could try on the corpses.

“My Dina can really be scary sometimes.” Mumbled Mace to himself.

“Hmm? What did you say?.” She asked as she turned to look at him.

“Oh, nothing I just thought you look extremely cute today!” He said as he threw his hands in the air.

“Stop messing around, let’s go.” She said ignoring his compliment before turning into a streak of light that shot into the distance.

Seeing her disappear, Mace leaned his head back and took a long swing from his gourd only to find it empty causing him to sigh. “Ah, well time for work.” He lightly stepped forward, his steps wobbly before he turned into another beam of light that followed after Dina.

On another side of the mortal plane, in a mountain range close to the Sword mount holy land, a group of green-robed cultivators could be seen standing in the air as they surrounded a giant chasm in the ground, their gazes filled with awe and greed as they looked at the long crevice.

“First elder, this is where the celestial corpse had fallen!” Reported a young girl as she cupped her fist respectfully at the middle-aged man standing at the front of the group.

“Hmm, it seems like the heavens are aiding my Moonlight sect!” He laughed, as he looked at the deep chasm with undisguised desire.

The disciples behind him were clearly as excited as he was as they peeked at the ground below, although the celestial had already fallen, the energy contained within his body was enough to push them back!

This only served to further excite them, as the harder it was to get, the more peerless it would be. ‘Good thing the three holy lands are holding the skies on their shoulders and keeping each other in check, with this the Moonlight sect will strengthen its stand in the world!’ Grinned the elder, he turned around and ordered his disciples.

“Everyone take your positions! We must make hast lest some other sects make their move. Activate the formation!” He ordered.

“Activate the formation!”

“Activate the formation!”

The disciples loudly repeated his order as they swiftly moved to surround the large crevice, a grey array suddenly appeared connecting all disciples together as they attempted to extract the celestial corpse from the deep crevice with the first elder’s lead.

Alas, try as they might, the corpse remained unmoving no matter what they did. A shocked expression took over the First elder’s face, this was what it meant to have an entire mountain of gold in front of you but no way to move it.

“Don’t give up! We must get the celestial’s body no matter the cost!” He ordered.

As the group was focused on trying to get the corpse out of the chasm, a loud whistling noise brought them back to their senses as they turned around to see two beams of light suddenly appear before them, the lights dimmed to reveal a young girl and a drunken swordsman.

The first elder frowned, nonetheless he cupped his fists at the newcomers and spoke. “Fellow Cultivators, it’s almost impossible to move the celestial corpse on our own, why don’t you lend a hand and we can split the gains.” He said with a smile causing the disciples behind his back to be shocked, they had never seen the elder act to submissively before.

‘I can’t sense their cultivation base!’ Gulped the elder, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage! did that mean that the young girl and drunken swordsman were already in the Ensoulment stage? Or perhaps the Nihility?! He gulped down in fear as he carefully observed them.
