Chapter 1868 To the Northern Continent

5000 years was a short time for a cultivator, but for mortals without Qi, it had been so long that most of them did not know any other life than the one they had already.

As such, despite being able to go anywhere they wanted to, and be able to become a cultivator, most of the people in the desert still suffered to become a body cultivator.

There was still a disparity between the two sections that Alex did not know how to deal with.

After passing the Southern Continent, both he and his aunt could immediately see the Central Continent in the distance.

It was so close that in less than a day, they could reach the continent even if they flew just by themselves. On the Immortal rank ship that Alex owned, they could do it in a matter of hours.

This was the first time Alex had come to see the Central Continent from this close from the outside. As such, he was surprised by the fact that the entire continent was in fact not surrounded by Qi at all.

It was part of the continent, a very large section no doubt, but there were still regions outside the wall that were habitable if anyone wished to stay out there.

Of course, the only thing that inhabited those areas were wild beasts without much strength as no Qi could reach that region without being sucked into the vortex that was the wall of Qi created by Godkiller.

Alex\'s purple eyes glowed and he saw the multicolored Qi encircling about 80% of the land. The area where the Qi passed was very barren and completely decimated with nothing growing there.

Alex remembered that day in the past when he had been teleported directly into this barrier. The teleportation talisman he had used back then had intended to teleport him to the Southern Continent\'s intercontinental teleportation formation, which would\'ve accepted his arrival.

However, because Alex needed to take with him everything the mad immortal had stripped away from him, he had expended too much of the teleportation energy at the time, which caused him to only teleport halfway to the Southern continent, placing him right in the wall of Qi.

Alex sometimes wondered what his life would\'ve been like had he teleported to Sunborn Sanctuary directly instead. He would\'ve never met Scarlet. He would\'ve never been a king. He likely would\'ve never even found his father without help from the council members.

The last 40 years of his life would\'ve been so different.

Alex\'s ship passed through the side of the Central Continent and as they passed, Alex once again remembered the pain from having been in the Qi wall.

\'I wonder if I can withstand the pain now,\' Alex wondered. If that was the truth… could he perhaps use this place to body cultivate?

He would have to try when he returned. If it was possible, he would have a way to cultivate without spending an exorbitant amount of spirit stones to do so with the Mountain Crushing artifact.

The ship flew past the Central Continent and even just half an hour after that, Alex came upon the first of the islands that one would count to be part of the Northern Continent.

"This is part of the Forever Isles," Liz said. "I don\'t think I ever came this far, but my master took me as far as she could to this place to help me train."

"Right," Alex remembered the period when his aunt had to go train, and thus he was by himself for about a year and a half.

More islands popped up beyond the first one, and the further they traveled, the more there were.

In just a matter of few more hours, they laid their eyes on the Northern Continent.

Arriving on the Northern Continent, Alex immediately beelined for the Blazing Earth Sect. It took an hour longer for them to arrive at the sect, given how far it was from the shore.

As they arrived at the sect, Alex and Liz got off the ship and walked up to the front gates.

Liz walked up ahead. "Is senior Tai Guan in the sect currently?" she asked the guards.

The guards looked at both Liz and Alex and were more than curious about who they were. The ones that remained on the outside were just in the True realms, so they were not aware of who they were exactly.

"I believe Ancestor Tai is out of closed cultivation. May I know who the seniors area so I may send a message to her?" one of the guards asked.

"I am her disciple Li Zhumei. Please notify her of my arrival. At the same time, notify sect master Bai of our arrival as well."

"Promptly!" the guard said and disappeared, another one quickly replacing him.

Alex and Liz waited for no more than 5 minutes before several strong spiritual senses scanned them, none strong enough to be of any threat to either of them.

Alex was strong and all, but Liz wasn\'t any weaker either. Her cultivation base was lower than theirs, but her battle prowess would put her toe to toe with any of them.

Bai Qiyi, the sect master of the Blazing Sect arrived first, followed by many elders and ancestors, one of which was Tai Guan, Liz\'s master.

They arrived outside the gates and stood before Alex and Liz quickly bowing in greeting.

"We are honored to have you come to our sect, senior Alex," Bai Qiyi greeted as he bowed.

Alex was slightly taken aback as everyone from the Blazing Earth sect immediately bowed toward him. It was no simple bow either, but one of extreme respect.

At first, Alex wondered if they were still in gratitude for killing the Mad Immortal all those years ago, or perhaps for the alchemy lecture he gave before he took everyone to the Central continent.

But looking at their face, he realized that was not the case.

"Has news of the Eastern Continent traveled here too?" Alex asked.

"A long time ago," Bai Qiyi answered.

"We had people leave the Eastern Continent just to tell us about what had happened there," Tai Guan answered.

Alex nodded slowly as he understood. They weren\'t just bowing in respect, but also in fear.

After all, before them stood the man who had killed a proper Immortal.

"We have come here to ask something from all of you," Liz spoke. "I hope you will hear us."

"Of course," Bai Qiyi said. "What is it?"

Alex shook his head. "It will be better if I speak to everyone at once," he said. "Please help me gather everyone in the continent who has any sort of influence at all. This matter needs to be discussed as soon as possible."

Every one of the elders and ancestors wondered what the matter was, but none dared ask Alex what he didn\'t want to freely give.

Bai Qiyi nodded. "I will send the messages right away."
