“No, we have to find a way to send them a message.”
David looked at Ming Li, “Do you have a way to contact Twelfth Heaven? Or, can you send me back?”
Ming Li looked worried: “Master Chen, crossing the barrier between two worlds is extremely difficult and requires a special path or token. I was able to descend through the Reincarnation Gate because of a boundary-breaking talisman passed down in my clan, but it can only be used once and becomes ineffective after that.”
“As for legal communication in the two realms, it is different, and ordinary communication methods cannot penetrate the barrier at all.”
Seeing David’s disappointed expression, Ming Li thought for a moment and then said, “However, Master Chen doesn’t need to worry too much. Since Master Shi sent you to Thirteenth Heaven, he must have his reasons.”
“Friends of Twelfth Heaven, perhaps Master Shi has other plans. Besides, with your current cultivation and potential, Master Chen, staying on Twelfth Heaven does have some limitations.”
“The thirteenth heaven offers more opportunities and is more conducive to your growth. Once you achieve great success in your cultivation, you can easily return to the twelfth heaven.”
David sighed, realizing that Ming Li was right.
Mr. Shi always has his own considerations when doing something.
No use worrying now. The most urgent thing is to adapt to the Thirteenth Heaven’s environment as quickly as possible and improve my strength.
“By the way, you said this is the edge of the Northern Dark Desert? How much do you know about the Thirteen Heavens? Where should I go now?” David asked.
Having just arrived, he knew nothing about the Thirteen Heavens and needed to find a guide.
Ming Li’s spirits recovered, and he said, “Master Chen has come to the right person. Although our Ghost Clan has suffered a setback, we have operated here for many years and have a fairly good understanding of the northern region of the Thirteen Heavens.”
“The thirteenth heaven is vast and boundless, more than ten times the total size of the twelve heavens in the lower realm.”
“The forces here are complex and intertwined. There are ancient sects and powerful clans, formidable demon kingdoms, mysterious remote families, and of course, descendants of ancient clans that have collapsed like ours.”
“In general, the Thirteen Heavens can be divided into five major regions: the Eastern Region, the Blue Immortal Continent, where many human cultivation sects stand;”
“The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the Western Region is the territory of the demon race; the Heavenly Fire Continent in the Southern Region has a harsh environment, abundant fire-elemental creatures, and mineral resources.”
“The Northern Region is the Northern Dark Ice Plains that we are in. The climate is cold and resources are relatively scarce, but this also makes it relatively peaceful, a gathering place for many small forces, independent cultivators, and clans in decline.”
“The Central Region of the Tianyuan Sacred Continent is the most prosperous region and has the most abundant spiritual energy. This region is jointly controlled by several of the strongest forces.”
“We are now at the edge of the Northern Dark Ice Plains. If we travel tens of thousands of miles further south, we will see several towns and markets where farmers gather.”
The most powerful force in the Northern Ice Plains was the Xuanbing Palace, whose leader was said to be a mighty being at the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
Apart from that, there were some slightly weaker sects such as the ‘Frozen Soul Sect’ and the ‘Frozen and Snow Sword Sect’.
David listened attentively and memorized the information.
A level seven Immortal would be a top expert in the twelfth heaven, yet here he was just the palace master of a regional sect. The overall strength of the thirteenth heaven is indeed far superior to the lower realms.
Do you have any suggestions? What should I do now?
David asked.
His opinion of Mingli changed slightly. Despite being in extremely difficult circumstances, Mingli did not forget the fate of his clan, so he was not a bad person deep in his heart. What’s more, he knows this place and is the right person to ask for advice.
Ming Li thought for a moment and said, “Master Chen is still new here. His cultivation level is the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm. He is considered a master in the Northern Underworld Ice Plains, but he is not considered the best.”
“I suggest that Mr. Chen first find a city inhabited by cultivators to settle in, and study the local customs, power distribution, and cultivation resources.”
“The common currency in the Thirteen Heavens is Yuan Crystals, which contain purer spiritual energy than spiritual stones in the lower realms. If Master Chen has spiritual stones or materials from the lower realms, he can exchange them in the market.”
“In addition, the cultivation system of the Thirteen Heavens is the same as the lower realm, but the techniques and supernatural powers are more profound, and the quality of the pills and magic treasures is also higher.”
“If Master Chen wants to progress quickly, he needs to obtain high-level cultivation techniques and resources. He can consider joining a sect, becoming a guest elder, or exploring some ancient ruins and secret realms.”
David nodded; these suggestions are very relevant.
He obviously needed to calm down and get to know his surroundings first.
