Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 58 New World Intelligence

"These days, I have walked around the entire Yuanhai City and basically figured out the general situation of this continent." Zhen Yi took a sip of tea and spoke mysteriously.

"Tell me quickly." Feng Ting couldn't help but urge.

Zhen Yi then continued, "This city was launched half a year ago from Xichi Island on the Michuan Continent of Zhongzhou, bound for Dongshe City on the Lanru Continent. The journey takes a year each way, and the journey also passes through a ten-infernal land called Fengbo Sea. Rumor has it that the celestial phenomena there are extremely chaotic and dangerous, and only cross-border ferries like those from Yuanhai City, manned by powerful beings above the level of the Divine Transformation Realm, can pass through."

"Zhongzhou?" Qiu Ci grasped the key words. "What is Zhongzhou?"

"I've also researched this. I heard there are three thousand continents in the world, grouped together under three states," Zhen Yi continued, explaining, "namely Zhongzhou, Yuzhou, and Mianzhou. Each state has thousands of continents within it, and each continent is separated by natural barriers like the Fengbo Sea. Crossing continents is very difficult, and crossing states is even more difficult. Rumor has it that only a few top forces know how to do it. Michuan Continent and Lanru Continent both belong to Zhongzhou."

“…” As soon as he finished speaking, not only Feng Ting, but even Qiu Ci was a little surprised.

I knew the map outside was large, but I didn't expect it to be this big? These three thousand continents are not much different from the legendary three thousand worlds.

"I heard that the resources of Michuan Continent are scarce, and very few can reach the Divine Transformation Realm. On the other hand, Lanru Continent is much better, so many cultivators are willing to go there to cultivate." Zhen Yi said, looking at Qiu Ci and said, "Sister Ci, didn't you say before that there are higher realms after the Divine Transformation Realm, but you didn't know the specific divisions? I've asked around this time."

Qiu Ci really didn't know the division of the later realms. After all, the information she received at the base only went up to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Although it mentioned the Tribulation Transformation Realm, Mahayana Realm, etc. from time to time, there was no specific division.

"What realm is there above the Spirit Transformation Realm?" Feng Ting asked anxiously.

"There are four major realms above the Spiritual Transformation Realm: Crossing the Tribulation Realm, Combining the Body, Mahayana Realm, and the Celestial Realm." Zhen Yi counted off the realms one by one on his fingers. "I heard that only when you reach the Celestial Realm can you experience the legendary Celestial Sense, the opportunity to become an Immortal. However, there are also legends that Celestial Realm isn't the final realm, and that there are other realms above it, but whether this is true is unclear."

"Four major realms..." Qiu Ci sighed. He had known that he was a little Karami, but he didn't expect him to be so young. Sure enough, what the system said about graduating from elementary school was absolutely correct.

"We're only at the Golden Core stage now, so there's still a lot more to come..." Feng Ting counted on her fingers, her face falling. "Alas, the journey of cultivation is endless."

Zhen Yi's expression darkened. He had been dealt a blow when he heard this. He had originally thought that he and Feng Ting's Jindan cultivation were already unrivaled, and they had always been hailed as geniuses in Linyuan Continent. But after arriving here, he realized that in this world, Yuanying (Nascent Soul) cultivators were everywhere, and Jindan (Jindan) cultivators were no match for dogs.

"How much do you know about the situation in Lanru Continent?" Qiu Ci didn't want to see them continue to be depressed, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I've heard a little, but not much." Zhen Yi finally came to his senses and continued, "I heard that it's different over there than here. There's no such thing as a sect."

"Ah! What about cultivation?" Feng Ting said anxiously. It can't be that all of them are casual practitioners.

"The Lanru Continent is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in resources. I heard that most people born there have spiritual roots, so almost every town has a private school for cultivating immortals that teaches introductory techniques." Zhen Yi said with a hint of envy.

"Doesn't that mean anyone can practice cultivation?" Feng Ting was also surprised. "You can say that." Zhen Yi hadn't expected that the introductory techniques that were once treasured in Linyuan Continent would be everywhere in this world. "In addition, those who have reached the Golden Core stage can also join various academies and practice more advanced mental methods."

"College?!" Qiu Ci was shocked. It couldn't be what she thought.

"Is it the same as a sect?" Feng Ting also asked.

"It's different." Zhen Yi's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. "The academy recruits disciples every five years, and only those who have reached the Golden Core stage and above. But joining the academy doesn't mean you'll be a member forever. The academy will arrange for powerful and elite teachers to teach you, and it all depends on the individual. Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, or after fifty years, you can choose to leave the academy and seek other opportunities."

"There's something like this!" Feng Ting was shocked. You know, in the Linyuan Continent, the teachings were always kept secret. Once you joined a sect, you were a disciple for life, your honor and disgrace all tied to the sect. This was the first time she'd heard of a sect where you could leave freely after completing your training.

Qiu Ci, on the other hand, was quite calm. "Isn't this just a school?" It seemed that this Lanru Continent was indeed much more advanced, at least in terms of education.

"I was also surprised when I first heard about it." Zhen Yi also had a look of admiration on his face. He even heard that there were cultivators with extremely great talents who graduated from one academy and then joined another. This kind of behavior, which could be called betraying one's master and ancestors, seemed to be very common in the Lanru Continent. Of course, those who had a formal master were not counted.

"But I heard that joining these academies also requires examinations, and the difficulty is extremely high." Zhen Yi continued, "The reason so many Jindan cultivators in Yuanhai City came across the land is to participate in these academy examinations."

"Sister Xiaoci!" Feng Ting excitedly grabbed Qiuci's hand and said, "After we arrive at Lanru Continent, do you want to choose an academy to take the assessment?"

Zhen Yi also looked over expectantly.

Qiu Ci was stunned. To be honest, she had no interest in the entrance examination. After all, she was admitted to elementary school through recommendation. Right now, she just wanted to find the next Blue Star base as soon as possible. But looking at the excited and expectant eyes of the two people, she really couldn't say no.

"Let's wait for Social Anxiety Jing to come out first, and then we can discuss it together." She finally spoke. She had to continue practicing. Since she had brought them out, she had to be responsible to the end. Letting them go to school to study was also a good idea.

The two of them thought about it and nodded. Of course, four people had to take the exam together.

"Oh right!" He suddenly thought of something, "Zhen Yi, do you know where I can find a map of Lanru Continent?"

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Zhen Yi nodded immediately, "These maps are sold everywhere on the street."

As he spoke, he took out a map, and sure enough, the name of Lanru Continent was written on it.

Qiu Ci accepted it without a closer look, intending to scan it with the system after returning to find the base's exact location. Ever since he emerged, the dog system hadn't been able to locate the base after several scans, even though it had still responded when he was on Linyuan Continent. He didn't know if it had been damaged by lightning.

She guessed that it was because the distance was too far, so she boarded the big ship and planned to look around while walking.
