Chapter 177 Journey

Chapter 177 Journey

"Of course, you must leave immediately, indeed," Rin replied.

After saying that, Rin suddenly pulled out a red sword.

The color of the sword seemed very intense, as if it could swallow light so that no light could be seen on the sword.

Its aura was firmly suppressed, making the sword appear to have no aura at all.

However, it did give the impression of hiding boundless power.

"Little Brother, take this sword with you, it will increase your combat power drastically," Rin said, handing the sword to Ciel.

The curious Ciel took it without hesitation, there was nothing to worry about when Rin gave it to him.

He observed it with his eyes and discovered that it was a sword that seemed to have the power at the last limit before becoming a Divine Weapon.

For a sword of this level, Ciel could indeed still use it.

Of course, not everyone would have it.

The Peak Demigods themselves took time just to have one. Most actually didn't have one at all.

Ciel swung the sword a few times before inserting it into his Storage Ring.

"This is amazing, thank you Sister Rin," he said, complimenting the sword.

Rin smiled slightly.

"By the way," she said again. "There is basically no limit to the cultivation that can compete for the World Soul. It's just that, since it is reserved for Hegemons, there is an unwritten rule that only Hegemons can join the fight. Every path will be guarded to block Demigods who want to infiltrate. However, it doesn't always work. Some people might manage to infiltrate, and that endangers the Hegemons, so you have to be careful."

"Sure, but there's no need to worry, I'm confident I can protect all the Ice Palace disciples," Ciel replied.

"I trust you..." Rin did not seem to doubt Ciel at all.

After that, all the Ice Palace disciples were gathered in front of the headquarters.

Ciel scanned them one by one before signaling them to follow him to the city gate in the south.

They were only on foot, but since they were without a doubt the strongest group from the Realm of Life, the groups from the other Sects chose to stop as they passed, then followed behind them.

When they arrived near the city gates, Ciel found a group consisting of Elves.

They were a very small group, even fewer than the disciples of the Ice Palace.

Leading them was an Elf with dark black hair, pale white skin, and a tight black dress.

She attracted attention but also made people wary because of her sharp aura.

Ciel showed a faint smile when he saw them.

Arriving beside them, he asked, "were you waiting for me?"

Their expressions seemed too serious, as if there was a weight on their shoulders.

"We were ordered by the Queen to follow you," said the Elf wearing a black dress.

She was naturally Thalia, the niece of the Elf Queen, and now a slave of Ciel.

Mu Yixue and Yasmin observed her figure, realizing that she was just as powerful as them.

And perhaps she could be more dangerous in a fight.

"That's great, now follow us!" Ciel naturally didn't mind having a group of Elves following him. It made his entourage even stronger.

He only paused briefly before resuming his steps, arriving in front of the gate.

Looking at the desert outside, he could not help but be amazed at the overwhelming impression it gave, something that was not so obvious from above.

There were so many small hills in the desert that it looked like the ocean was surging.

It was just that, as he made observations, Ciel discovered that everyone was on foot, no one was flying.

"Why aren't they flying?" Ciel asked Yasmin.

Until now he still hadn't studied things here in detail.

The disciples of the Ice Palace didn't seem to know much either so they looked at Yasmin to wait for her to answer.

Their lack of knowledge cannot be blamed because this continent is at the southern end of the Realm of Life while the Ice Continent is at its northern end.

It's a continent too far from their homes.

"The sky is too hot the more we go to the center of the continent, this region is already close to the center, so the conditions are almost similar. And it's a heat that can even burn the spiritual energy inside our bodies. If we are at a high place, the heat will be even stronger, walking below is the best choice so that we don't get exhausted. Normally, to cross this continent to another realm, even the Demigods would choose to walk. Only those who are very strong will fly, including the Gods." Yasmin explained her reasoning in detail.

As Ciel nodded in understanding, she continued, "Prince, I have prepared two hundred camels out there, so our journey will not be so difficult."

"Camels?"

Ciel was slightly surprised at Yasmin's words.

"They are about 10 kilometers from here, we can fly there because it is very close," Yasmin replied.

"Sure!" Ciel immediately agreed. He had become quite curious.

After that, they flew off, led by Yasmin.

10 kilometers was indeed close for them. With their speed, they got there in a few minutes.

Below, Ciel saw a large village with many stables filled with camels.

Many people stopped by the village, buying camels to accompany them.

Yasmin did not lead Ciel and the others to land at the entrance of the village, she went straight to a certain stable full of large camels.

There she landed right in front of a middle-aged man who turned out to be the man who danced yesterday.

"Princess, you finally came. Congratulations on your wedding, you must have had some wonderful nights after getting married," he said to Yasmin, looking very friendly.

"Prince, Miss Mu, Miss Thalia..." He greeted Ciel and the others.

He seemed to recognize them well.

Perhaps he was a knowledgeable man.

"Uncle, can my camels be taken away now?" Yasmin asked him in a polite tone.

"Yes, they are in very good health, have no problems and even run all the time," the middle-aged man replied.

He waved his hand to open the gate of the camel stable, and they quickly came out of the stable.

All the Ice Palace disciples and members of the Elven Race became curious.

"Guys, you can choose the camel you want to ride. It's not so different from strong, just put a clean cloth on its back," Yasmin told them.

Right after she said that, they immediately started approaching the camels. Their curiosity was too high now that there were no camels on the Ice Continent.

People on this continent would also be curious if they saw snowmen on the Ice Continent.

"Uncle, we're leaving now," Yasmin said once again.

"Be sure to be careful," the middle-aged man replied.

Yasmin nodded and led Ciel to one of the truly unique camels.

It was completely white, white as snow so it looked very clean.

In addition, the camel also had the strongest aura, equivalent to the Hegemon Seventh Stage.

"Prince, you will ride this camel," Yasmin said to Ciel.

"What about you?" asked Ciel because apart from the white one, the other camels looked the same.

It wasn't that Ciel didn't have the idea of riding the camel with Yasmin, but he didn't want to create jealousy on this trip.

"I will ride this camel," Yasmin replied, pointing to a particular camel that was of course the same as the others.

Thinking that she was indeed a dutiful woman, Ciel sighed.

He finally said nothing more.

After that, he climbed onto the white camel.

This animal was very docile, but it didn't seem to have any particular spoiled nature either. It had only been following Ciel's instructions since the latter had climbed onto its back.

Of course, 200 camels were too many for the group.

They only used about a quarter of them.

However, Yasmin seemed to want to take them all.

When people from other factions saw them, they couldn't help but be jealous.

The price of camels has risen dramatically since the arrival of outsiders to this continent, so even large factions cannot buy too many camels.

Most still walked in the end because most factions brought too many disciples.

Only the young masters could ride camels.

"Prince, this journey will take about five hours if the camels run, so we will probably arrive in the afternoon. However, we have only arrived at the starting point of the center of the continent," Yasmin said to Ciel as they began their journey.

Ciel looked at the camel he was riding, patting its back as he said, "come on, do it quickly."

He signaled everyone to make their camels run.

Simultaneously, the camels started running, they ran very fast.

If it was on earth, Ciel didn't think there were any cars faster than them.

However, this desert was vast, so even with such speed, they seemed slow and the scenery around them seemed stagnant.

Over time, Ciel, who had originally enjoyed the trip, began to feel a bit bored.

How could he not be bored when all he saw was the same thing.

Hour after hour, there was nothing but boundless desert.

Besides, the hot air here he had to admit, made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, there couldn't be nothing interesting here.

When it was getting late in the afternoon, Ciel saw the countless Pyramids ahead, each one so big that he didn't think there were any buildings bigger than them.

'Pyramids, why are there such buildings here?' Instantly, Ciel was astonished.

His back straightened and he was instantly filled with curiosity.
