Chapter 260: Chapter 260
Achilles looked at Ron and the others.
"Go on in."
Wendy entered first, followed by Ron, then Roben, Ted, and Linka.
The order of entering didn't matter; it depended on the tokens.
The moment he stepped inside, it was as if the cliff face didn't exist. Ron felt that in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in another space—desolate, deathly still.
Ron surveyed his surroundings.
"No wonder this place is called the Land of Nirvana."
"No wonder it's named the Nirvana Festival."
The area was very open.
It was a flat plain.
No living creatures, except for Ron and the others who had just entered.
The ground was covered entirely in white bones.
Not the bones of some other creatures, but all human bones.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the burial ground of the Fiora royal family's Nen users."
"Nirvana—meaning death, and also new life."
"A great many of the Fiora royal family's Nen users died here."
"And younger generations can use tokens to enter this Land of Nirvana to gain benefits."
"This place is somewhat similar to an elephant's graveyard."
Elephants, before they die, head to a fixed location, and when their bodies rot away until even the bones decay, they leave behind a large number of tusks in the elephant graveyard.
Ron noticed again that the progress in his crystal ball was rising very quickly.
"Now that we've arrived in the Land of Nirvana, what's the next step?"
From Wendy and the other's reactions, Ron could tell that it was extremely difficult for an outsider to enter the Land of Nirvana. Zeno must have paid a significant price to secure this opportunity for him.
Therefore, he had to obtain what he was meant to gain here.
He couldn't leave empty-handed.
Otherwise, Grandfather's sacrifice would have been for nothing.
Ron lowered his head and looked at the token in his hand.
"Could it be this token?"
Ron tried channeling his aura into the token.
But there was no reaction.
Ron put the token away and began walking forward.
"Gyo!"
"En!"
He used both techniques to grasp the surrounding situation as much as possible. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any danger here, but one could never be certain.
"Ryūnosuke Akutagawa!"
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa appeared, guarding Ron's side.
Outside, Achilles remained at the cliff, recalling memories from his youth.
Back then, Achilles also participated in the Nirvana Festival, achieved quite a good result, entered the Land of Nirvana, and gained significant rewards.
It laid the foundation for the strength he later attained.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his current level.
"I wonder what these youngsters will gain."
---
Ron walked aimlessly.
Bones covered everything.
Some were decayed.
Some looked fresher.
But Ron did not see any fresh corpses.
Logically, there should have been someone who died recently and entered this Land of Nirvana.
"Maybe I just haven't encountered them."
"Or maybe there are other reasons."
"This place is huge."
"It doesn't seem to be located on the human continent. It's more like another region."
"Perhaps this is also a large Nen-created space?"
Ron looked up at the sky.
"It really isn't the same sky I saw at the Fiora royal palace."
Suddenly.
A strange aura swept over.
Ron swiftly retreated.
Ryūnosuke Akutagawa stood in front of Ron.
Simultaneously, on the other side, Baki Hanma appeared.
And also Killer Queen.
Ron saw a white skull rushing toward him at high speed.
That skull bore an aura of Nen—
But a very pure kind of Nen.
To put it simply:
Nen can be likened to a memory card.
A Nen user's aura contains their personal information, including their will and emotions tied to death.
But the aura on this white bone was empty of information.
It was a blank memory card.
Because of Baki, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, and Killer Queen's defense, the bone couldn't approach Ron directly; it hovered beside him.
Ron didn't act hastily and instead ordered Baki to touch the white bone.
The moment Baki touched it, a flood of information surged forth.
After confirming there was no danger, Baki transferred that information to Ron.
Ron raised an eyebrow slightly.
"A Nen user from the Star Dojo…"
"In life, they revered the Libra constellation."
"Their Nen beast was named after Libra."
"Libra can alter gravity."
"And this white bone can be used on Nen beasts."
"Luckily, I'm the one who found it…"
"If it were someone else, unless they were from the Star Dojo, even from the Dragon or Beast Dojo, they wouldn't be able to use this bone."
"Though maybe it's because I revealed my Nen beasts that this bone flew over."
"This bone requires two Nen beasts to use it together."
"One for the left scale."
"One for the right scale."
Ron pondered and quickly decided.
Currently, among Ron's Nen beasts, the ones responsible for direct combat are Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and Baki Hanma.
Killer Queen, Lampent, are more support-oriented.
Chii is purely supportive.
"In that case, I'll have Baki and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa use it."
Ron gave them the order.
The two Nen beasts stepped forward and jointly grasped the white bone.
In the next instant—
A surge of power poured out from the bone, all rushing into Baki and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.
The power enveloped them both.
Then it all flowed into their bodies.
Ron could feel the changes in the two Nen beasts.
They wouldn't just gain Libra's abilities.
Their attributes would also be enhanced.
"This is like an evolution."
Ron became expectant.
This wasn't the first time something like this happened.
Previously, Baki received a chance to become stronger at Meteor City.
After being swallowed by the Rat Disaster, Baki obtained a Nen user's ability.
That Nen user came from the Meteor City Elder's personal guard, the Wild Beast group.
With that ability, Baki's overall strength improved considerably.
And now, another similar event was happening.
Compared to the other Nen beasts, Baki's abilities, drawn from the memory of the character Baki Hanma in Ron's mind, didn't seem particularly overwhelming initially.
But after this evolution, Ron believed Baki would be no weaker than the others.
The energy continued pouring in.
Baki and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa stood motionless.
Time passed bit by bit.
"I wonder what Wendy will gain."
"Most likely something similar."
"Deceased Nen users bequeathing their abilities to the newcomers who arrive here."
