《Death... and me》Chapter 12: Avoiding Calamity!
Advertisement
Rean and Roan's family was taken aback. How come they are moving to the center of the Tribe?
Noticing their puzzled faces, Juri was about to give them an explanation when suddenly, his heart froze!
"This!"
As he looked at Rean and Roan, he felt like he was seeing two ghosts! Well, in a certain way, they could be considered that too.
"How is that possible?!"
Tirin, who was beside Juri, was puzzled with his big brother's reaction. It was evident that he noticed something from the twins, but he couldn't see what it was.
"Big brother, is something wrong?"
Juri looked at him and then said.
"As long as you use your Spiritual Sense, you should be able to see it too."
Tirin was taken aback and immediately did as he was told. In the next second, his face became as shocked as Juri's.
"I must be hallucinating!"
Turen and Hamarlia began to feel afraid of those reactions.
"Elders, is something wrong with our children?"
Only then did Juri remember that Rean and Roan's parents are not in the Energy Gathering Realm. Because of that, they don't have Spiritual Sense, so they obviously can't see what they are seeing.
"It's not something wrong, but incredible instead. Both of them... are in the Blood Replacement Stage..."
Turen and Hamarlia felt like they heard a joke! How could their children be in the Blood Replacement Stage? They are far from being five years old. Let alone five years, they haven't been born for even a month yet!
"Elder must be jesting, before being five years old, they can't even sense the presence os Spiritual Energy. There is no way they can be in the Blood Replacement Stage."
Those words finally reminded Juri the reason why he wanted to move Rean and Roan's family to the center of the Tribe.
"Wrong! I went to the city to inquire about it. The truth is, there is another thing that the Aptitude Orb can do. According to the degree of brightness, one can see if the person being tested can feel the presence of Spiritual Energy or not. It just so happens that your Children showed this capability."

Everyone was surprised by those words, including Rean and Roan.
Rean couldn't help but comment.
"No wonder he found out we are in the Blood Replacement Stage. He knew from the start that we could feel the Spiritual Energy presence. Otherwise, he would have never checked our body with this Spiritual Sense thing or whatever this ability is called."
Roan agreed with Rean.
"Indeed. Still, we wouldn't be able to hide it for long. Sooner or later, someone would check our bodies and find out that we don't have ordinary baby bodies anymore. It just so happened to be earlier. The problem is that no one knows that we are practicing the Body Transformation Techniques, so everything will depend on how they will deal with it. Let's keep watching."
Sure enough, Roan was right. Juri and the others couldn't understand how they entered the Blood Replacement Stage since they 'never' practiced the Body Transformation Technique before.
Juri looked deeply at Rean and Roan and murmured.
"Is it really an innate constitution?"
Even though his voice was low, Tirin still heard it.
"Big Brother, what is this innate constitution?"
Juri came back to himself, soon looking at the twins' parents and his younger brother.
"When I went to the city and started to inquire about it, I found out that there are some extremely rare cases where one can feel Spiritual Energy earlier. Those capable of it are considered to have been born with a thing called 'innate constitution.' Simply put, their bodies are attuned to the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth from the moment they are born. They won't need to wait for their bodies to mature to be able to do it."
"Also, it seems like there are other advantages too. Unfortunately, that was all I could inquire about. It doesn't matter how I look at it, only this so-called innate constitution could possibly bring such results."
Tirian and Rean's family were surprised to hear that. Rean and Roan also understood that this innate constitution was probably a side effect of the White and Black thread and orb connecting their souls too.

Tirin couldn't help but ask.
"Then, what kind of constitution is the one that they have?"
Juri shook his head.
"I don't know. Even in Astreg City, the information about such a thing as an innate constitution is almost inexistent. All I heard were a few rumors about this topic. From the looks of it, the only ones who would know better were the Cultivation Sects."
Rean's parents looked puzzled. In fact, Rean and Roan were the same. Although the name gave them a few ideas, they had never heard about Cultivation Cects before. However, Juri's younger brother, Tirin, immediately showed a respectful expression.
He then looked at Juri and asked.
"Big Brother, should we-"
Juri immediately stopped Tirin from continuing.
"Out of the question! Do you want to have our entire Tribe destroyed?!"
Everyone in the room was frightened. How did it reach a point where the Tribe could be destroyed?
Juri looked around with his Divine Sense and confirmed that there were only Rean's family and his younger brother around at the moment.
He then took a deep breath and said.
"All of you... listen well! Doesn't matter who, when, or where, make sure to never say a word about it outside. What I'm going to say now shall never leave this room, understood?"
Noticing the gravity in Juri's voice, everyone nodded.
Juri then started to explain.
"Rean and Roan are too young, so they don't have any memories or attachment to anyone yet. Even if something happens to our entire Tribe, they would not know about that due to their ages."
"If the information that two babies with innate constitutions appeared in our Tribe, a calamity is all that awaits us! From what I understood, such talents are highly coveted by all sects. Considering that Rean and Roan are still too young, those sects would definitely wipe out the entire Tribe to make sure that their past is completely erased!"
"Once they grow up, they will not remember who are their parents, family, Tribe members, or whatever. They will be utterly loyal to the sects, and that is what they wish."
Juri looked at Tirin and continued.
"I know what you thought a moment ago. You wanted to deliver the kids to one of the cultivation sects so that our Tribe would be rewarded, but that would just have everyone killed instead."
Tirin's body started to sweat like rivers.
"Sorry, big brother. I didn't think things through."
Juri nodded and didn't mind. He then looked at Rean and Roan before looking at their parents right after.
"We have to make sure that no one knows about their innate constitution until they are at least old enough to remember what loyalty to the Tribe is. At that point, destroying our Tribe would only have the opposite effect on Rean and Roan. Only then can we allow those two to join a sect. Do you all understand?"
Turen and Hamarlia didn't even know about sects before, but they understood what it means to risk their Tribe being wiped out. So they immediately agreed with the Tribe Leader.
Juri also nodded, satisfied.
"Good!"
He then looked at the twins with a piercing gaze.
"Now... even though they have an innate constitution, just how the hell did they enter the Blood Replacement Stage at their age?"
Rean and Roan's hearts skipped a bit after seeing the Tribe leader's eyes.
'This guy is too sharp!'
