Chapter 148 Cultivation Realms

‘Let’s see what can I learn from these books.’ Brian moved toward the table and sat on his chair. He took a book from the mountain of books.

He turned the first page and it had a picture of a world, a brand new world that he hadn’t seen before.

It was a gigantic land separated into four parts by four different lines. Each line had a different texture and shape to it. The land in the east was separated from the land in the south by a huge hill region, creating a massive wall between the two lands.

The land of the east was separated from the land of the north by a man-made wall. The structure of the wall was described at the bottom of the page.

A gigantic wall that stands a thousand feet tall.

The land of the west was separated from the land of the south by the giant snow mountain peaks. The land of the west was operated from the land of the south by a massive valley.

That valley was nearly a thousand feet below ground level, making it almost impossible for the people to cross the borders.

And, in the middle where all lands connect, it was the place called ‘Gathering of Four Lands’. It was just a piece of land but it was also a piece of land that no other land could own.

That means this land was part of all four lands. And, these four lands represented four different races in the world. As he kept on turning pages, he found more and more interesting information about the world.

Human Race

Monster Race

Devil Race

Spirit Race

These four races constitute the four lands and under these races, there were other smaller races. Even among humans, there were people with different casts and races.

The Monster Race had the highest number of different races. Devil Race was the most fearsome and also the enemy of all other races.

Spirit Race was neutral. It was composed of five different small races.

Elf Race, Giant Race, Dwarfs Race, Elemental Race, and Witch Race.

Each of these races was unique and thus make the Spirit Race, one of the most powerful races in all four races. The Spirit Race was so powerful that everyone feared them, even more than Devil.

Devils were feared because they were cruel. Spirits were feared because they were the strongest.

As for humans, they were neither respected nor feared. As for Monster Race, they were treated as cannon fodders. But even so, the sheer number of Monster Race was ten times more than all of the other races combined.

They held the Southern Land which was also named the Ten Thousand Beast Region. It was almost four times bigger than the other three lands combined.

The northern land was used by Devils which they call the ‘Land of the Blood’ or ‘Devil’s Nest’.

The western part was held by the Spirits which they call ‘Forest of Eternity’. Finally, the eastern part was controlled by humans which they call the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ or ‘Human Empire’.

This empire was divided into five regions.

Wu Region! Shen Region! Tian Region! Long Region! Xui Region!

Each of these regions is governed by five families.

Wu Family, Shen Family, Tian Family, Long Family, and Xui Family

But their power and controlled by another major force; Sect.

There are a total of ten sects, five in each region, and each sect holds a majority of power to fight against the Supreme Families. But, just a single sect can’t fight against the family of that region for control.

And, the rivalry between sects stops them from joining hands against the Supreme Family. Hence, those families still have major control over the region.

Although it was called Empire, there is no Emperor or King. According to the last page of this book, it seemed like no one has reached the cultivation where he could dominate the world.

After reading for hours, Brian finally got tired and went back to sleep.

The Next Morning, Brian woke up a little late and walked out of his room. He recalled the bathroom and went inside. He saw a bucket full of water and washed his face.

After that, he walked out while drying his face with a towel.

“Brian, do you want breakfast or lunch?” Chu Meng walked out of the kitchen and asked.

“What about Lan and Ling?” Brian didn’t see both of them and asked.

“My husband works as the Chief Guard of City Lord Mansion so he is currently at work. Ling went out to play with her friends. How about we eat lunch together?” Chu Meng asked.

“Alright!” Brian nodded his head and walked toward the kitchen.

After finishing lunch, Brian asked.

“Do you also work?”

“I am a hunter so I do work but only occasionally whenever we suffer a financial crisis. Lan doesn’t want me to work because my talent for cultivation is higher than his so he wants me to spend more time in cultivation.” Chu Meng explained.

“Who do you hunt? Aren’t monsters and devils separated from our land by the hills and giant wall?” Brian asked in confusion.

“Yes, but it isn’t hard to cross a wall or hill. They do help us in case of a major war but for normal battles, they aren’t much of a difficulty. It seems like you have read quite a lot so I will directly introduce the hunter profession to you.”

“Hunters are the group of people who have been hunting other races for generations. We bring the resources to make weapons, pills, talismans, array, and a lot more.”

“In fact, the body of monsters is very valuable. So, many people want to become hunters but the talent restrictions force us to choose some other profession.”

“With your talent, you would easily reach the higher rank hunter. The ranks of hunters are divided into nine ranks, from rank one to nine which also correspond with the cultivation realms.”

“Ohhh! What are the realms of cultivation?” Brian was intrigued by the hunter profession and the realm of cultivation.

“There are nine realms of cultivation. From low to high they are; Foundation Establishment Realm, True Essence Realm, Golden Core Realm, Law Condensation Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Life and Death Tribulation Realm, Lord Realm, Ancestor Realm, and finally Saint Realm.”

“Everyone starts the cultivation from Foundation Establishment Realm. Unlike most of the other realms, this is a bit unique and requires to reach certain criteria to proceed to the next realm.”

“That being said, even if you don’t fulfill these criteria, you can still reach the next realm. It’s just that you will be too weak to compete against others.”

“These criteria are the level of strength you have in three sub-stages of Foundation Establishment Realm. The first sub-stage is Body Tempering Realm, the second is Blood Condensation Realm, and finally Bone Forging Realm.”

“In Body Tempering Realm, you need to have the strength of 10000 kilograms. Each punch you land on someone needs to have that level of strength. Of course, you can still go beyond that but that’s only limited to the geniuses.”

“In Blood Condensation Realm, you need to have the strength of 50000 kilograms. Finally, in Bone Forging Realm, you need to have the strength of 100000 kilograms.”

“In short, when you reach the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm, you need to be able to fight Flood Dragon without dying. Of course, you can’t find dragons in Tiandao Continent.”

“Wait, then how do you measure the power of the people?” Brian interrupted her and asked with confusion.

“It’s simple. We have cultivation towers where several arrays are used to protect the dragons with their real strength. You can find it in DragonElephant Sect or Heavenly Sword Sect.”

“Of course, for those who can’t enter the sect, every city has a pillar of strength where you can punch the pillar to find out your strength.”

“Ohhhh! By the way, how do I join a sect?” Brian asked. He obviously wasn’t going to stay in this house forever.

“I knew you would ask. With your talent, it wouldn’t be hard to enter the sect. And, you are also quite lucky. The sect examination will begin next week where they will test your talent.”

“As long as you pass, you can enter the sect. I haven’t entered the sect yet but from what I’ve heard, once you join the sect, your daily necessities will be provided to you for free.”

“If you manage to accomplish the task, you can even earn resources for your cultivation. That being said the competition for resources is fierce. Of course, you need to enter the sect first.”

“And, you also need to choose the perfect sect for you. Each sect has its own benefits and disadvantages. In strength, both sects are equal but when it comes to yourself, you need perfect cultivation techniques that suit you.”

“Unlike those who can enter the sect, those who can’t need to rely on whatever they find. So, you mustn’t make any mistakes while choosing the sect.”

Brian nodded his head and asked.

“So, can you tell me the major differences between these two sects?”
