Chapter 1868 To the Northern Continent

Alex and Liz flew through the massive wasteland of the Southern Continent, the land that now worked together with the mainland without any restrictions.

After Alex ascended the throne, and Scarlet returned to her rightful place as the ruler, the wasteland was brought back under the continent's rule, and people of the wasteland started gaining benefits that were previously unknown to them.

5000 years was a short time for a cultivator, but for mortals without Qi, it had been so long that most of them did not know any other life than the one they had already.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

As such, despite being able to go anywhere they wanted to, and be able to become a cultivator, most of the people in the desert still suffered to become a body cultivator.

There was still a disparity between the two sections that Alex did not know how to deal with.

After passing the Southern Continent, both he and his aunt could immediately see the Central Continent in the distance.

It was so close that in less than a day, they could reach the continent even if they flew just by themselves. On the Immortal rank ship that Alex owned, they could do it in a matter of hours.

This was the first time Alex had come to see the Central Continent from this close from the outside. As such, he was surprised by the fact that the entire continent was in fact not surrounded by Qi at all.

It was part of the continent, a very large section no doubt, but there were still regions outside the wall that were habitable if anyone wished to stay out there.

Of course, the only thing that inhabited those areas were wild beasts without much strength as no Qi could reach that region without being sucked into the vortex that was the wall of Qi created by Godkiller.

Alex's purple eyes glowed and he saw the multicolored Qi encircling about 80% of the land. The area where the Qi passed was very barren and completely decimated with nothing growing there.

Alex remembered that day in the past when he had been teleported directly into this barrier. The teleportation talisman he had used back then had intended to teleport him to the Southern Continent's intercontinental teleportation formation, which would've accepted his arrival.

However, because Alex needed to take with him everything the mad immortal had stripped away from him, he had expended too much of the teleportation energy at the time, which caused him to only teleport halfway to the Southern continent, placing him right in the wall of Qi.

Alex sometimes wondered what his life would've been like had he teleported to Sunborn Sanctuary directly instead. He would've never met Scarlet. He would've never been a king. He likely would've never even found his father without help from the council members.

The last 40 years of his life would've been so different.

Alex's ship passed through the side of the Central Continent and as they passed, Alex once again remembered the pain from having been in the Qi wall.

Bai Qiyi, the sect master of the Blazing Sect arrived first, followed by many elders and ancestors, one of which was Tai Guan, Liz's master.

They arrived outside the gates and stood before Alex and Liz quickly bowing in greeting.

"We are honored to have you come to our sect, senior Alex," Bai Qiyi greeted as he bowed.

Alex was slightly taken aback as everyone from the Blazing Earth sect immediately bowed toward him. It was no simple bow either, but one of extreme respect.

At first, Alex wondered if they were still in gratitude for killing the Mad Immortal all those years ago, or perhaps for the alchemy lecture he gave before he took everyone to the Central continent.

But looking at their face, he realized that was not the case.

"Has news of the Eastern Continent traveled here too?" Alex asked.

"A long time ago," Bai Qiyi answered.

"We had people leave the Eastern Continent just to tell us about what had happened there," Tai Guan answered.

Alex nodded slowly as he understood. They weren't just bowing in respect, but also in fear.

After all, before them stood the man who had killed a proper Immortal.

"We have come here to ask something from all of you," Liz spoke. "I hope you will hear us."

"Of course," Bai Qiyi said. "What is it?"

Alex shook his head. "It will be better if I speak to everyone at once," he said. "Please help me gather everyone in the continent who has any sort of influence at all. This matter needs to be discussed as soon as possible."

Every one of the elders and ancestors wondered what the matter was, but none dared ask Alex what he didn't want to freely give.

Bai Qiyi nodded. "I will send the messages right away."
