Chapter 1604 Great Distances

Once they arrived there, Fluki returned to Luan’s forehead before they departed. They had to find some other city nearby to get directions and see if it was possible to use the teleport formations.

Rean, who was watching from inside the Dimensional Realm, couldn’t help but mention, “Huring, Lanqueas, Yubisval, Treavin, Pol, Xinfia… we have already passed through six entire continents. To think we made it this far.”

Havek nodded in response. “Indeed. Well, I only joined you in Pol Continent. Nevertheless, it’s mostly thanks to that Kibin Race member that’s following you. Luan’s virtues, as well as the virtues of others around him, must be quite good since Fluki seemed very satisfied.”

Rean smiled once he heard that. “There was also his father’s orders, but I’m happy this is how things are going.” There were still two years and four months before Destiny Avoidance Mode was deactivated.

After a while, Roan pulled Kentucky outside so that he and Luan could travel by air. Although Roan could fly with his Initial Stage Transition Realm cultivation, he definitely wasn’t as fast and efficient as Kentucky.

Surprisingly, it took four entire weeks for them to find a city, even with Kentucky’s speed. In any case, they eventually arrived at the city of Junzan. Roan also noticed that this city was much smaller than what they called small cities back in the other continents. From what he found, this city only had around 40 million people, which was around one-fifth of the average for other continents.

He then passed a few more tasks to Luan after checking the Mercenary Guild in the city. Following that, he went after information about this continent. The initial plan was to just pass by Aefer to reach Hiwer Continent. Of course, it was better to have more information before proceeding. First, he went to check the Formation Guild for teleport formations.

”Teleport formations?” The worker at the Formation Guild asked back at Roan. “We do have them, but they’re very expensive, you know?”

Roan shook his head. “That’s not a problem. I don’t lack Rank One Divine Stones. I just need to teleport to the next city.”

However, the worker quickly denied the idea. “That’s not gonna be enough. It seems like you have never teleported around our continent before, which is normal. In that case, I might as well tell you the problem. The cities in Aefer are very far away from each other. Rank One Divine Stones can’t generate the necessary amount of Divine Energy to teleport over to the next cities.”

Roan narrowed his eyes in response. His group still had 110000 Rank Two Divine Stones, but if the teleports cost too much, it wouldn’t be worth using them. One must remember they still had a sect to run that deeply relied on those Divine Stones. “How much is it to teleport from one city to another?”

The worker shook his head, saying, “I can’t tell you about the other cities since the distance between them variates. All I can tell you is that the next city in the northwest direction will cost you 79 Rank Two Divine Stones. You will have to check there how much it costs to go to the next.”

”79, huh?” Roan pondered over it for a bit. Teleporting through ten cities for this price would already cost a thousand Rank Two Divine Stones. However, the fact that they needed Rank Two Divine Stones to teleport away also meant that the distance covered was several times higher. The question was how many teleports would be necessary to reach the Continental Barrier between Aefer and Hiwer. “Alright, I’ll think about it since it’s truly expensive.”

The worker wasn’t the least bit surprised by Roan’s decision. He had already told others about this high cost many times, and the majority gave up, just like Roan. “No problem. If you still want to use them, just come over.”

Roan then left the Formation Guild before contacting Rean through their Soul Connection. ‘What do you think?’

Rean obviously knew what he was talking about. ‘Well, you’re the one among us two good at gathering information. Just go find out how many cities we need to reach the other side of the continent.’

Roan shook his head, though. ‘This is a city at the end of the continent. I won’t be able to find this information here.’

’Then try to see how many cities we would need to teleport to reach the capital of this country… we’re in a country at the moment, right?’ Rean asked.

Roan nodded, replying, ‘This much I already know. This is indeed a country. Its name is Gluco Country and is surprisingly governed by the vote of the majority. Well, not really. The only ones allowed to vote for the next country leaders are cultivators in the Void Tempering Realm or above. I can’t blame them since it would be too troublesome to gather the vote of possibly over a trillion people in this country with their current technology.’

Rean was surprised to hear that. ‘Oh!, So it’s a democracy… kind of. Well, it’s nice to find a place that follows such a rule. Usually, everything would be decided by force, after all.’ 

Roan snorted in response. ‘Hmph! Do you really think strength doesn’t play a part in it? Too naive.’ Roan then continued, ‘Anyways, usually, we would teleport through a hundred or so cities before leaving a country. Obviously, this number increases to a few hundred to leave a region. As for an entire continent, we would need to pass through a few thousand cities. The only good thing was that we could use Rank One Divine Stones, so it wasn’t that expensive anyway. If it turns out we need to go through the same number of cities with Rank Two Divine Stones, then we would probably be better off traveling with Kentucky instead.’

Rean pondered in silence for a bit before saying, ‘For that to be the case, this Aefer Continent would need to be as big as Pol Continent at the very least. Perhaps even bigger.’

’I’ll check it out,’ Roan answered.
