Chapter 3179: Methods of Travel?
Rean's first question regarding the Divine Realm was what to expect once his group got there. Unfortunately, Rifindio only went out when he took missions to gain Divine Stones. Most of his life was spent in the Supreme Palace. Nonetheless, he told them what he knew.
The Divine Realm of this Universe wasn't much different from Lisan. However, according to his description, it was much, much bigger than the Realm of Gods. Rean wasn't really surprised by that since the Realm of Gods wasn't really a land. It was, in fact, the back of a ridiculously gigantic creature, Hyeoumu.
From what Rifindio explained, the Divine Realm was pretty much of the same size as the Heavens or Underworld. It was one of the three Higher Realms of the Universe, and it was the place most experts from the Mortal Realm ascended once they got a Divine Werdlem Stone.
Those words obviously caught Rean's attention. Rifindio explained that 'ascension' didn't really exist in this Universe. One could only go to the Divine Realm once they got the Divine Werdlem Stone. Once that was done, they would be brought there by the Werdlem Empire's experts instead.
It was then that Rifindio told Rean something interesting. There is no such thing as Void Tempering Realm experts or above in the Mortal Realm of this Universe. Their Divine Werdlem Stones prevent them from ever entering the Mortal Realm, regardless of their cultivation realm.
Hearing Rifindio's explanation, Kentucky got curious. Experts can't ascend on their own, so what would happen if someone managed to reach the Void Tempering Realm in the Mortal Realm? Wouldn't the Universe Laws of the Mortal Realm force them to ascend regardless? Just like with Rifindio here, it wasn't like it was absolutely impossible to acquire the Divine Stones for the process.
Rifindio shrugged in the end. That was another feature of the Werdlem Stone. The Werdlem Stone doesn't allow one's cultivation to surpass the Transition Realm, regardless of whether they have Divine Energy at their disposal or not. The Peak Stage of the Transition Realm was truly the maximum cultivation available. And if you acquired a Divine Werdlem Stone, you would be sent to the Divine Realm by the Werdlem Empire anyway. You didn't need to bother about breaking through in the Mortal Realm, which was much worse.
"Talk about absolute control..." Rean couldn't help but comment.
Kentucky agreed with him. "Indeed. It does have its advantages, though. Extra resources would be something the guys back home would love." He obviously didn't talk about Lisan in front of Rifindio, though.
Well, with everything Rifindio had seen so far, he was pretty sure the twins' group definitely wasn't from this Universe. But then again, if they didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't force them. That wasn't his problem. "Well, the system works. That's all I can say."
Then, Rean remembered something. "Oh, right! Do you guys have methods to travel between the Universes of the Werdlem Empire?"
Kentucky's eyes lit up. His parents seemed to be in another Universe in the Werdlem Empire, so he needed to know that as well.
