Mia continued. "With me gone, we need a new Sect Master. Ancestor Zuan should be arriving at any moment now."
It was just like Mia mentioned. Zuan, the only Saint Realm cultivator of the Dalamu Sect, arrived for the discussion a moment later. "Phew... I'm finally back. Mia, why the sudden call? Could it be you know what that light was about? Also, that strange dream..."
Zuan then looked at Rean and didn't pay much attention at first. However, after trying to check the situation with his Spiritual Sense, he noticed that he couldn't see either Rean's or Mia's cultivations. "This... what happened here?"
Mia smiled and used a Divine Sense Message to explain everything to Zuan as well. It goes without saying that Zuan was shocked, too. It took quite some time until Mia and Rean finished answering all of Zuan's questions. The other elders also had their own questions, so they took the opportunity to join the discussion.
Finally, the topic returned to the original one. "Ancestor Zuan, what do you think? Someone has to be the new Sect Master, and I believe a Soul Transformation Realm would be the best choice since the other sects still think I'm a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator."
Immediately, they all looked at Rean's Master, Droman. Other than Mia and Zuan, he was the only cultivator in the Dalamu to have surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm. At the moment, he was in the Initial Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.
Yet Droman immediately waved his hand. "Hey, don't look at me. I don't want to become the Master of any sect. You know me. I can't think about anything else other than formations, especially the Circuitry ones. I would be a terrible Sect Master. Besides, I still want to go with Rean back to the Realm of Gods. After hearing the extent of the communication system he talked about, I want nothing more than to join the efforts to build and improve it."
Rean didn't see a problem with it. He could easily deliver Droman somewhere near the Dragon Race and have Mia fetch him. Even though Droman's cultivation was small now compared to him, his talent for formation was undeniable. He was the only person who knew as much about the circuitry formations as Rean and Havek back when Sunkan was still intact. Yet, it wasn't his decision to make, so he didn't say anything.
As for Reliance, he had never been a real elder of the Dalamu Sect to start with. He was a Guest Elder who didn't really have any realm attachments to the sect he couldn't sever. That's why Rean didn't mind Reliance's request and agreed straight away to bring him.
Mia couldn't help but sigh. It was obvious that after hearing about the Realm of Gods, all the elders there didn't want to stay. Even if they would lose their loft status in the Mortal Realm, the appeal of Divine Energy in a higher realm was too hard to miss. "Guys, this won't do. If I truly ask Rean to bring you all, the Dalamu Sect will be done for. There won't be a single Nascent Soul Realm remaining."
Zuan, who obviously was thinking about the same thing, was still not used to seeing Mia with a higher cultivation than his own. "You can't blame all of us, little Mia. Everything we did was for the sake of cultivating to a higher realm and fighting for immortality. Saying that some of us here will have to stay to lead the sect while the others will have access to Divine Energy and possibly a much higher chance of reaching greater peaks is just too much."
Everyone in the room nodded. If anything, they would instead bring the entire Dalamu Sect with them or simply leave everyone behind. Cultivators are, above all, fighting for themselves. If the sect became too big of a burden, they would still give it up.
Seeing that, Mia fell into a deep thought. Rean just watched everything, waiting for a decision. Truth be told, after his decision to bring the Varen Tribe was made, he didn't really care anymore if he had to bring the entire Dalamu Sect. In fact, the Dalamu Sect is full of cultivators with the best talents in their territory, so it was a lot safer to bring them than it was to bring the Varen Tribe.
Finally, Mia opened her mouth again. "Rean, would it be possible to bring the elders too? Or would it increase the burden you feel during the return?"
Mia still didn't know about the system and the fact that anyone inside it couldn't be detected during the cross to another realm. Rean and Roan had no intention of telling them about the system, at least. However, he didn't see much of a problem with the travel to the Realm of Gods. "Not really. I just ask you to not tell Eagon about it. The fact is that I can bring as many people as I want, and it won't increase the backlash of the realm traversal at all. Still, it was like you mentioned. Bringing all of them would also mean the end of the Dalamu Sect."
Rean pondered a bit before saying, "If you truly do that, you might as well call the other four main sects as well as the royal family and share the disciples of the sect with them. At least they will all have somewhere to go after the Dalamu Sect's fall."
"There is no difference in numbers?" Mia was surprised to hear that. Yet, she didn't ask why Rean could do that since it probably involved some secret of the twins. "Then... Why not simply bring the entire Dalamu Sect? Your Dimensional Realm just fits perfectly as an environment for cultivation."
Rean shrugged his shoulders. "If that is the Sect Master's orders, a disciple like me can only obey. Hahaha!" Different from Sesame's village members, the Dalamu Sect disciples know the outside world very well, so there is no need for them to experience it. Not to mention that it would indeed be quite a good addition to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm now that they have a lot of Demon Beasts.
Mia felt a little embarrassed. With the difference in their levels, there was simply no way she could force Rean to do anything. "Thank you."
"However, the Dalamu Sect is your problem, not mine. I will not help with anything unless extremely necessary. You will have to rely on yourselves," Rean reminded them.
The other elders and even Zuan got excited. They never thought that such an opportunity would appear to them.
Mia's expression turned serious as she passed the order. "Immediately set up a Wide Sect Meeting with all its members. There are bound to be those who have families or other reasons to not go, so we can't just take everyone at once. I will personally explain everything."
Mia knew about Rean's power, so she threw a Dalamu Sect Token to him. "Rean, with the strength of your Divine Sense, you should be able to find all the Dalamu Sect members by checking this token. Can you just teleport everyone back to the sect?"
Rean nodded. "If it was the Realm of Gods, that would be difficult. But here... Hehe!"
