BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 - The Northern Mainland
Davion finally found Isla, who was standing there waiting for someone. Seeing Davion coming, Isla became happy and asked, "Why did you come up late? I was waiting for you for some time."
"Sorry, I got delayed by someone on the way," said Davion while looking a little embarrassed.
"So, are you ready to go to the sect?" Isla looked like she was in a hurry.
"Yes, I am ready. We can leave right now. But how do we leave?" replied Davion.
"There are two ways of leaving the continent. One is by using transportation formation but only those large sects possess this. This also takes a large number of spirit stones. So, we can forget about going through it. The other way is either by using mounts or spiritual artifacts to cross the ocean. As you can see, those disciples are either using a Mount or a spiritual artifact." Isla pointed her finger in a certain direction.
Davion could finally see what she meant. That disciple took out a big ship which was about the size of a bus in his previous life from his space ring. It was fully white and looked beautiful. He then jumped into it with fellow disciples and flew straight to the sky.
He could also see some of them calling their mounts and using them to fly.
"We will also use a spiritual artifact to get there. But it is a little smaller than that," she said while taking out a small ship from her ring. It was black in color and was at least the size of a car. She shouted, "What are you looking at, let\'s go."
She immediately jumped into it. Seeing this Davion also jumped into it. When he put more force in his legs, there was a sturdy reverberation coming from the floor beneath his shoes, as if he was stepping on a limestone floor. He could finally see what it looked like from inside. There was a single compartment which was rather small but it was enough for the two. There were two mattresses on the floor. There was a table in between which separated them.
She came to a side and took out spirit stones and inserted them into a small hole. The ship started to rise up and started to fly in the North direction.
"It will take us at least two weeks to reach there. As a mortal, you might have been sleeping on a bed and living a comfortable life, but the life of a cultivator is very long filled with hardships and difficult journeys. So, you should learn to adjust." explained Isla as a senior sister who was taking care of his younger brother on his way.
"Yes, I will. But can you explain to me more about the Northern Mainland? I have never left this place and have not read any books about it." asked Davion.
"The Northern Mainland, as the name says, lies in the northern part of the world. This continent is further divided into three territories; the outer territory, the inner territory, and the central territory. The Mystic Beast Sect lies in the central territory where there are very big spirit veins. The spirit veins are the foundation of a sect. As a result, there is a large concentration of Heaven and Earth aura in this region. So, you can cultivate here faster than in the other regions. Also, this region consists of abundant resources like spirit stone mines, spiritual herbs, and rare materials of Heaven and Earth. This is the reason why the four major sects always produce many strong cultivators. So, they are the overlords of this region." Isla continued to explain and David listened quietly from the side.
As the mainlands are very big and the resources are scarce in the outer regions, the four major sects don\'t care about it. But there are middle and lower-grade sects who fight for it. So, in the inner region, the middle-grade sects occupy the middle-grade spirit veins and make this their foundation for their sects. This is also similar for the lower grade sects that occupy the outermost region. As a result, there is always a fierce battle among these sects for resources.
"It looks like the competition is very tough among these lower grade sects. When I reach there, I must find a way to level up fast. The other reason why I got interested in this sect is actually because of the Devils. But when I tried to ask people about this, they didn\'t know much about it. If they exist, then I can get a lot of experience points."
Thinking about this he asked, "Senior sister, do our sect have devils?"
Isla looked at him and replied calmly, "I don\'t know much about it. But I do know that our sect used to have devils. I also asked this question to our master but he didn\'t say anything. I think this might be the reason why our sect fell many years ago and the Sect Master doesn\'t want to talk about it."
"You don\'t have to think too much about these things.. Just focus on cultivating and improving yourself," said Isla as she sat on her mattress; closed her eyes, and started to meditate.
