Right now, the Emerald Whirlwind isn\'t tied to anyone and so, its powers are at its current peak, besides that, this secret realm is apparently under its control, so it can\'t be forced to obey by anyone.

But someone becomes its master, then its powers will adjust to the one who wields it, meaning that it could be stolen by others, of course that would be the same as killing the previous owner.

Or at least that\'s the theory Mylene has, based in the knowledge she has about beast flames, where if forcefully removed, it would cause lethal damage to one\'s dantian.

That\'s why she added that condition, that and because Ixas could return to its original prime, and what would stop it from stealing from them, or reveal the ubication of this mortal plane.

\'If I\'m going to release the tiger to its mountain, then I will keep a leash on it\', that\'s what Mylene thought.

Needless to say, but Ixas frowned for a split of a second, but then Mylene added.

"You know others would try to get your head as their souvenir, specially if they come from a high firmament, and since you called us to come, then you must trust us more than all the ones who have come here over the years".

Ixas sighed.

"A life for a life... fine I agree with the conditions, just give me a couple of minutes, I will rebuild what\'s left of my original body to fit in your group, then we can make the oath, in the meantime feel free to take a rest, the sun of this secret realm is bad for living beings, so it\'s better for you to rest under a roof".

Aster nodded and he and the girls left the white building, to wait outside, to their surprise the guy who guided them who is an earth attribute cultivator, built them a bench to wait while Ixas finished his preparations.

They all sat down and Aster started inspecting his body, just to make sure they weren\'t affected negatively by the sun of the secret realm, like Ixas warned them.

He patted Kana\'s head and then did the same for her since she has the lower cultivation among them, but the result was the same, no negative side effects.

\'Well, if it comes from the sun then it must be some kind of yang poison, and I casted a later of Rigel\'s flames on us, so that should explain why there are no negative effects".

As for Camila, Mylene and Vivian, they also looked fine so there shouldn\'t be any problems.

They didn\'t have to wait that long for Ixas and a couple of minutes he was out of the temple, which crumbled apart the very moment he came out of it.

"That was the last part of my original body, along my head, so now that I took what I needed it crumbled apart".

The "new" Ixas looked like a person of the desert, tanned skin and black hair, nothing too spectacular, but it was incredible considering a few minutes ago he was a giant rock head.

According to the deal, they proceeded to make an oath, and their alliance was formalized.

"I have a question, why did they attack exclusively me?", asked Vivian with her slow and soft voice.

Ixas looked Vivian for a split of a second before answering.

"As I told you, there have been countless of people appearing in this secret realm over the years, some became corpses and sank in the sea of sand that dominates the secret realm, but others have come and go for quite some time".

"I only know what those children have experienced outside, so my information is limited regarding other visitors, but one of them is active in this area... and that woman isn\'t known for being merciful".

"She comes and goes from time to time and kills everything and everyone that appears in this area, just like that miss, her skin is quite pale a clear contrast with those who spend some time in this secret realm, so the children named her "white witch".

"As far as I know she was among the first ones that entered this secret realm, and actually made it to the place where the Emerald Whirlwind resided at her time, but didn\'t manage to get to the last part of the trial and since then she hasn\'t been able to find the temporal residence of the Emerald Whirlwind".

Apparently, the location for the trial changed all the time, so the first task was to find it, so that they could participate.

"Still, those children couldn\'t tell, but I do, that miss is different to the white witch, the only thing they have in common is that pale skin tone which is uncommon in this place".

Aster nodded that explained why those guys were so fixated in attacking Vivian.

"Also, what\'s with the sun of this secret realm being harmful for living beings?".

Ixas raised an eyebrow, at Aster\'s question but then he noticed they didn\'t look sick at all, including Vivian whose appearance was rather fragile.

"... Yeah, the artificial sun of this secret realm was contaminated by one of the recurrent visitors, so now being under its light for too long is detrimental to others, especially women, and even if you use something to block its light, the heat that the sand stores have the same effect, but now that you mention it, you all look pretty fresh to me, maybe its related to the sand wyrm that accompanied you all the way here".

"Speaking of that, I\'m surprised that little fellow approached you... since its whole race was killed or captured by the many visitors, leaving only that one alone because it was able to hide from everyone thanks to that white shelled exterior that differentiated it from the rest".

Aster nodded, and then he did a little experiment.

"Are tamable spirit winds or other similar thigs, as rare as here?".

He knew that in most of the cases those past the Heavenly Conqueror, couldn\'t talk about a lot of things, so he wanted to see if Ixas could tell them something they didn\'t know.

Ixas thought about it for a second and the sighed.

"Not really, in fact a situation where one is contained for someone to take it, is what causes the most controversy, as it has never happened before".

Maybe because Ixas had been trapped for a really long time, but he was quite talkative today, though the things he was telling them were useful.

"So, if the place where the Emerald Whirlwind change its location, how come you know where to find it?", asked Mylene.

Ixas chuckled, he took out a small piece of rock from his pocket and showed it to them.

"We Rock Gigas have the ability to transform our original bodies into a lot of different things, like that white building that protected my head, or those children, that time when I tried to get to the Emerald Whirlwind jumping the trials, and got punished by it, I left a piece of me which melded in its residence".

"Unfortunately, unlike the rest of us, that thing can fly so it\'s hard to catch up with it, but it has to land from time to time, and at that moment everyone is free to enter as long as you can find it"

"When it enters in contact with the ground, I can track it no matter where it is, unfortunately all the people who those children observed weren\'t trustable, they killed without a reason, and in my state, I couldn\'t risk to bring a wolf into a flock of sheep".

"But you were different, the children felt positive about that missy, and since you were in the same group, then they decided to give it a go... until they noticed that lass who resembles the white witch", said Ixas as he pointed at Kana and Vivian.

"Well, you could say she is my lucky charm", said Aster as he patted Kana\'s head earning some smiles and giggles from her.

Ixas evaluated Aster\'s reactions, and he was in awe over his discovery.

\'This lad doesn\'t know it... no wait, it\'s more possible that he is just testing me, a normal person would never be able to lead such a group after all\', he thought.

"Anyway, the residence of the Emerald Whirlwind hasn\'t landed yet, and we can\'t leave this area at night, because the subordinates of the white witch patrol the whole place at night".

"There are other regulars who come and go as they please, and most of them become active at night trying to look for the Emerald whirlwind, when the sun doesn\'t affect them".

"We\'ll rest tonight and leave this place tomorrow morning, let me build you a place to stay".

Having said that, Ixas waved his hand and a two-floor building raised from the ground, right next to him.

"Please take a look and tell me if you need me to modify anything".

Aster and the girls entered the building Ixas created for them, it was pretty simple, a big living area in the first floor and five rooms on the second one, it was perfect, there was a private space for a bathroom in each room too.

"I\'m staying with big brother, you can combine two of the rooms so that we have more space~", asked Kana, after traveling for quite a long time in the desert, there was sand in her clothes so a nice bath with fresh water is what she needed.

Ixas nodded and the two rooms in the middle melded together.

"That\'s it, unless anyone have another petition in mind", said Aster and since the girls didn\'t say anything, Ixas left to give them some privacy.

But before that, Aster went upstairs to remember Espi to not kill the captives, so Daimon left for a couple of minutes and returned followed by it, apparently Espi was allowed to enter the city to rest too.

The girls went to their respective rooms, while Kana followed Aster to theirs, the rooms were quite simple only having space for a bed and some other bedroom furniture like a nightstand.
