In truth, Abu regained his memory within minutes of waking up, but in this unfamiliar environment, he dared not expose his origins and continued to pretend he had lost his memory.

Moreover, Abu didn’t believe that these people would believe him if he told the truth.

He himself was from another world, and if it weren’t for their ancestor’s accidental gift from an Immortal, leaving behind a dimension-breaking symbol, even Abu would not believe that there were other worlds beyond his own.

Abu’s family was quite influential in their world, but even so, they would not choose to reveal the existence of other worlds, or the symbols leading to them.

Abu thinks the people of this world are the same – the higher-ups are discreet about the existence of other worlds, and keeping it for themselves like a secret.

Who doesn’t want more secrets under their control?

“Have you heard? The Dao Sect has decided to increase the quota for the Ming Zhong World, and the cultivation limit is below the Golden Core Stage!” An excited person shared this news.

“What? Does that mean we have a chance?”

The Great Zhou Dynasty Family’s Academy students may be a bit weak, but going to the Ming Zhong World wasn’t an adventure, there was no danger. When the time came, they would see which cultivator had the best head on their shoulders and pick that one.

Not only do the academy students have the chance to go, but the probability is also extremely high.

“The Ming Zhong World follows a path different from ours, where even without spiritual energy, life could be convenient. I truly want to see it. Jiang Human Emperor refers to it as… what was it?”

“Technology.”

“Right right, Jiang Human Emperor said that the Ming Zhong World relied on technology, while our Nine Provinces relied on cultivation. He also said that there is no supremacy between cultivation and technology, everyone should respect each other, progress and develop together, and create a better tomorrow.”

“And then there’s the world of zombies… I wonder when we’ll ever be able to

“Stop daydreaming, the Zombie World has been set back, even if Jiang Human Emperor himself went, he could only be an observer, unable to utilize any power. All we could do there would be a cursory look; we won’t be able to do anything.”

“Jiang Human Emperor stated, if we want to go to the Zombie World, we’ll have to wait at least 80 or 90 years.”

Jiang Li intended to connect the Zombie World with the Nine Provinces in people’s minds, so he announced the news in advance to prepare them psychologically.

Abu was stupefied by the conversation, why did it seem like people here were accustomed to the presence of other worlds and showed no surprise at all.

“Could it be… you know there are other worlds beyond ours?” Abu tentatively asked.

“Of course, isn’t that common knowledge?” Zhu Zhu replied as if it were obvious. Beneath the Immortal Realm lay many worlds, it was common Imowledge.

Just because they couldn’t travel to other worlds didn’t mean they didn’t know about them.

The secret treasured by his family in his world was as commonplace as street news in this world, giving Abu an unreal feeling.

“Recently, I’ve been dreaming about those guys fighting in the universe. I wonder when I can reach that level.”

“Stop dreaming, you should think about when you’ll be qualified enough to go to the universe.”

“I’ve heard that the Sky Mechanism Tower recently launched a one-day tour of the universe, allowing high-level cultivators to take us, but the price is a bit steep.”

“The Universe? How is it possible for humans to go to the Universe?” Abu couldn’t understand.

Abu’s world was prosperous in martial arts, and although martial artists were rare, their total number was still considerable. They classified martial artist into four groups: Post-Natal Martial Artist, Pre-Natal Martial Artist, Grandmaster, and Peak of Mankind.

Peak of Mankind, also called Land Immortal, was terrifyingly powerful. At this level, they were no longer bound by worldly rules.

Abu was a Post-Natal Martial Artist, with talent in martial arts on par with his father.

Note that Abu’s father was at the Peak of Mankind, invincible!

And yet, even an incredibly powerful figure like his father could not fly to the universe.

However, his father, who was regarded as a Land Immortal, was utterly powerless against the terrifying figures who descended from the sky, known as the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were terrifyingly powerful; one shout from them could reverse the courses of rivers and shake mountains.

There were tales of Immortals in Abu’s world and their ancestral symbol was one left behind by an Immortal.

Martial artists could never equal Immortals, yet they could rise above the world, which was why it was said that the Peak of Mankind was the Land Immortal.

If his father was a Land Immortal, then the Twelve Heavenly Kings, who were stronger than his father, must be real Immortals.

Abu had always thought this way, so when he heard Zhu Zhu talking about the existence of Immortals and those even more powerful than them in this world, he was extremely excited. He believed that only such powerful beings could possibly save his world.

“Who, who can go to the universe? Immortals?”

Abu knew that the power hierarchy in this world was much more detailed than in his own. His world only had four tiers, but this one had seven: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Body Integration, and Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Above these were the Immortals.

The others glanced at each other and then burst into laughter.

“Hahaha.” Seeing Abu ask such a nervous question, everyone found it hilarious.

Zhu Zhu was laughing so hard that he teared up and couldn’t catch his breath.

Another one, barely suppressing their laughter, said: “If only Immortals could go to the universe, then you are greatly underestimating those at the Body Integration and Transcendance Tribulation stages.”

“Actually, those at the Divinity Transformation Stage can already venture into the universe, but they have some limitations. They can’t achieve a unity of everything and can only stay in the universe temporarily.”

“Divinity Transformation Stage?!”

This result greatly exceeded Abu’s expectations.

Since arriving in this world, he had been solely focused on saving his hometown, inquiring about the strongest individuals in this world, but neglecting terms like Divinity Transformation, Body Integration, and Transcendance Tribulation. He felt that no matter how powerful they were, they were probably only around the level of Land Immortal, not greatly affecting his home world.

Now it seemed there were significant differences from his previous assumptions.

Could it be not that this world just had a more detailed hierarchy, but that the powerful beings of this world were really this terrifying?

When Abu innocently asked about the existence of the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stages, he was silent for a long time.

It seemed that the Nascent Soul stage in his world was equivalent to the Peak of Mankind here. Although the two couldn’t be deemed exactly equal, their battle strengths were not dissimilar.

In his world, the Peak of Mankind was extremely rare. Even counting those who had withdrawn from worldly affairs and those who were still active, there wouldn’t be more than ten.

But in this world, the Nascent Soul stage was a common sight. Just on this Flying Boat were two teachers who were at the Nascent Soul stage. “Approximately how many are there at the Divinity Transformation Stage?”

That question stumped everyone. If asked about the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the answer was definitely five. And the Body Integration Stage could be estimated at around one to two hundred by their fingers.

But if you asked about the Divinity Transformation stage…

Seeing the academy teacher nearby, silently counting how many Divinity Transformations and Nascent Souls there were in the Nine Provinces, they realized they genuinely couldn’t count them all.

“There should at least be a few thousand…maybe even ten thousand?” Zhu Zhu guessed uncertainly. The Nine Provinces were boundless; who could say how many people were at the Divinity Transformation stage?

Abu took in a sharp breath of air.

This Nine Provinces was just too…terrifying..
