In a second they had already flown a hundred thousand kilometers away from the shore.
They came to a stop in the middle of nowhere floating a few meters above the ocean surface. Only the teal green colored ocean could be seen for miles and miles with a few seamounts.
Strong tides rolled around from time to time. Ivrena felt a bit woozy from the Alusec traveling at a very fast speed.
Snap!
Alusec snapped his fingers and Ivrena's four feet Katana appeared in his hand right hand.
"Use your strongest telekinesis technique to slash at the ocean," Alusec instructed while handing the katana over to her
Ivrena's eyes shone a shocked expression on seeing her katana in Alusec's hand, "How did you..."
"How I got it doesn't matter. Do as I said," Alusec interrupted cutting her question short.
Ivrena nodded and collected the katana. She hooked it to her waist and unsheathed the blade.
She held onto the blade with both hands pointing it out vertically. An invisible wave of energy covered her katana as she swung out.
"Telekinetic division!"
Sllaaaashhhhh!
Swinging her sword vertically an invisible line extended from her slash cutting across the surface of the ocean for thousands of meters. The ocean split apart, thousands of meters deep also.
Ivrena smiled in satisfaction seeing the state that the ocean was left in.
"You call this an attack!" Alusec words made her smile froze.
"This is weaker than I expected," Alusec shook his head in disappointment.
"Huh? how is that weak? This ocean disrupts the flow of telekinesis attacks but my attack was still able to do this," Ivrena couldn't help but refute. She felt Alusec was just picking on her.
"Oh.... is that so?" Alusec said while staring at her, "Observe!"
Alusec suppressed his strength to moon transformation level and took the katana from Ivrena.
Ivrena could feel the energy of telekinesis oozing from his person.
He held onto the katana and without wasting time he called out, "Telekinetic division,"
Using the same technique as her's Alusec slashed at the ocean.
Slaasshh!
Vrruuuuoooo!
The ocean was divided into two halves extending from Alusec's position to as far as the eyes could see. The body of waves separated from the surface to the bottom of the ocean floor, and a long crevice could be seen extending into the horizon. The ocean still parted ways for few minutes before slowly coming back together.
Ivrena eyes almost popped out of their sockets seeing this, 'If he participates in the tournament, there's no first place for anyone,'
"Not only are you not channeling your energy properly, you're satisfied with your output of energy making your cultivation stagnate," Alusec lectured, "Satisfaction equals stagnation, you have motivation but mentally you're in a state of gratification," Alusec words left Ivrena in a state of shock, 'I've been too complacent?'
"If you remain like that, you'll never get to the top. You need to have thirst for improvement and not gratification," Alusec spoke with a solemn voice.
Ivrena was in her thoughts as she contemplated about what Alusec said.
"Stay here and cultivate your mind underwater," Alusec touched her forehead passing a mental cultivation art to her.
Ivrena saw the contents appear in her mind and understood that it could only be cultivated underwater.
"Make sure you keep practicing that technique.... underwater! If you're attacked by any sea monster, make sure you cut them into pieces... Rhadelia you're forbidden from assisting her with protection," After completing his statement Alusec vanished.
"Eh? lord Alusec?" Rhadelia shouted out but Alusec had already left.
"Hey little girl, you must survive okay. I can't start looking for another vessel again," Rhadelia spoke to Ivrena mentally who replied, "Shut your hole, I'm trying to concentrate," After saying that Ivrena descended into the ocean slowly. She was a bit scared when Alusec told her to stay underwater since this place was very far from the shore and there was a probability that powerful sea monsters resided in this part of the ocean but was ready to challenge herself.
"everyone's is bullying me now that I'm weak," Rhadelia lamented inwardly.
---
Back at the shore, it was already mid-afternoon and Briella had been purged of her bloodline. Ruby drew the runic circle that removed every single drop of her bloodline from her body.
After Ruby could sense the aura of Rhadelia's second soul from Briella's body. It seemed the second half had awakened.
Ruby didn't even need to explain anything to the second half. Immediately he awoke all the memories of his other soul were transferred to him.
Alusec arrived back on the shore alone making Briella and Rin puzzled.
'Where's the other female?' Rin questioned internally.
"Lord Alusec, where's my sister?" Briella asked as she stood up from her initial cross-legged position.
"She's training, now it's time for yours," Alusec said as he passed her the second container.
"Rhadelia are you ready?" Alusec voice traveled straight to the Briella source world.
"I am," Rhadelia's second soul replied.
Alusec nodded and stared at Briella, "Drink," he instructed with a low voice.
Briella opened the container and started downing the bottle.

-Ritler city
In a large hall, middle-aged men could be seen gathered around a large circular table. They all wore luxurious clothing, some in traditional attires and some wearing the hides of expensive beasts. Some of them had big beards while some had a goatee. Some were bald while some had long hair. They were nine in number.
Regardless of their looks what they all had in common was the aura of supreme brings and the look of haughtiness on their faces. The exception was a man in black robes with pigtails and a star-shaped scar on his head. This man was none other than Patriarch Hong who was in a meeting with the rest of the patriarchs and the city lord of Ritler city.
They seem to be in the midst of a discussion as one of them was in a standing position speaking.
"It is not something we have to worry about," The man who was speaking was a man with a bulky build and long green beards.
"Lord Feline how can you say that. We couldn't resist bowing down, how can we allow such an abomination on our island, we have to hunt this person down and get rid of them," One of the men sitting on the right side of Lord Feline shouted out with an obvious look of disagreement.
"First off, an existence that could make everyone bow including ourselves is not something we can handle. Second, if that person had nefarious intentions he or she would have done something other than just making everyone bow. The fact that no further action was carried out by that person means the person means us no harm," Lord Feline's words made the others nod in agreement except for the man who spoke earlier.
"How can you all agree to this? Our island could be in danger," The man slammed the table with his fist leaving a small crack on it as his face twisted in displeasure.
"Patriarch Bayi, if you're so keen on hunting down this person why don't you do it yourself, I'm sure very powerful. It should be no problem for you," Patriarch Hong suggested sarcastically, making the man speechless and the others nodded in agreement.
Patriarch Bayi recalled how he bowed in shame without control of his body when the eye was in the sky. He subconsciously shivered in fear and sat down without saying any other word.
