Chapter 13:Liushangong

After looking into the treasury of the sect he extinguished, Rhaego found out he was in the middle of an island, if he walked a bit more he would reach the island port where the sect ships stood.

The ships were sailing boats, but they kept rowers below them that help fastens the ship. All of which were slaves. A lot of slaves were glad to take this hard work instead of becoming the evil sect cultivation materials.

The island stood at the one million island archipelagos. Not necessary there were one million islands in it, it was just that there were too many islands to count.

The archipelagos housed several demonic sects, which relied mostly on the slave trade and piracy to sustain themselves. Not all islands were populated, mostly islands with resources were taken over by evil cultivators.

The ships were filled with formations that increase their durability and defense and fastened the sail. The Oars' speed was boosted by a formation that consumes the lifespan of the rowers.

Jahdiel tried to heal the slaves, some that were already on the death tore, and using his vitality law he was able to heal most, some however were beyond saving.

The rowers were used only in emergencies. Slaves were not very expensive in this world, they were not cheap either, so the evil cultivators would not inefficiently expend lives.

He thought he maybe should have used the system. He saw that he could use the revenge option, even after his enemies were dead.

One may ask how? As his enemies were dead, the system used his enemies' corpses and souls to create vitality to give back to the slaves. The situation improved a bit for them, but not much.

Evil Cultivator Sects usually raid the ships that trade between the mortal continent and the immortal continent.

The Mortal Continent was the smallest continent of this world, but it was densely inhabited by humans, the rational specie with the most fertile in this world. It was small to this world standard, but it was bigger than Jahdiel's previous world-only continent.

The continent was called mortal because qi is too thin in it, so it's a consensus that the limit for cultivators there was the fifth cultivation realm, which was very rare there and considered a powerhouse. Human cultivators that wanted to cultivate further would leave the continent and sail to the Immortal Continent.

The known part of the archipelago was bigger than the human continent by at least three times, considering that no one has found the end of this archipelago to this day, it was surely colossal.

The western coast of the Mortal Continent was called the Lost Shore, because, after millenniums of raids from pirates, it was already turned into a wasteland. Only one city stood on that shore: Piracy City, an evil criminal city, where evil cultivators exchanged their lots and sell slaves.

Jadhiel sailed with the free slaves to the Pirate City, where he exchanged the useless properties of the evil sect for gold. So he reached the human continent after a year of sailing. There he gave some money to the freed slaves and they spread through the continent. He heard that the Liushangong sect was opening for inscriptions for disciples, if one was talented enough they may even be selected as disciples to the main branch in the Immortal Continent.

After traveling through the continent and passing through four Kingdoms, Jahdiel reached the sect. The sect stood at the top of a small mountain.

There were really a lot of candidates by what Jahdiel could see.

A lot were applying for Liushangong because the main branch rarely opens inscriptions in the Mortal Continent.

The last time this happened was a thousand years ago. One may wonder why this much was disregarded for the mortal continent, it was because the genius from the mortal continent were usually average talents in comparison to the ones from the Immortal Continent.

So, the sect finds it a waste to keep looking for genius from there like all other sects from the immortal continent. Liushangong major branch would usually make divinations to decide when is most lucrative to look for talents in the mortal continent, because although rare there were some periods that talents could be found in the mortal continent.

First, they tested each candidate's cultivation and body cultivation, though they were paying more attention to the first, as they were not a body cultivation sect.

"Let's see. A Twenty-Five years Domain Formation Cultivator at Stage III, a very good talent, but too poor for the main branch. But, also a Fourth Realm Body Cultivator, which is quite a good talent. I will have to verify with the main sect representative what he thinks." An examinator said while looking at Jahdiel's testing results.

"It's good enough for our great sect. Not really this level of talent, but a tri-law cultivator is quite rare even in the immortal continent, even more with three powerful laws. Though he will still be at the bottom of the chosen list with this low cultivation level." Said the main sect representative.

Yes, with his cultivation level, Jahdiel was no cultivation genius for the main continent standard. It was much surprising if one knows that in this higher realm, no one was born mortal.

The most untalented would be born at least at the Mortal Realm Stage 3 (Dantian Condessing Realm). While heavenly genius would be born at the Mortal Realm Stage 8 (Mind Awakening Realm).

Dual law users were not that rare in the immortal realm, as it was known by most influential families, that it was possible to get enlightenment into two laws and establish the realm if one used antithesis laws, like fire and water.

A dual law user with two strong laws like soul, vitality, or spacetime was very rare, however.

So Jadhiel became an outer disciple of the main branch of Liushangong.

They had a week to solve whatever problem they had left on the continent. After that, they were sent to a teleporting array, which transported them to the Immortal Continent. Jadhiel was impressed with the complexity of the teleportation formation, which he could not understand very much.

By what he could guess the law of spacetime was much stronger in the higher realm, so an action such as teleportation needed much more power than in the lower realm. He guessed it because from the beginning he could feel that his laws have a much weaker hold of reality in the higher realm. Jadhiel thought that teleportation arrays maybe were rarely used in the higher realm because of cost, the same they were at the lower one.

How wrong he was. Teleportation between continents was indeed very expensive, but inside a continent, there was a system that would intrigue him, when he reached the Immortal Continent. It allows 'cheap' and efficient teleportations. It was used in all continents except the human one because qi density in the human continent was just too weak.
