Chapter 409: A New Family, All in Order
According to Li Qian's understanding, there are definitely deep-dimensional rifts within the shallow-dimensional plane.
Most of these deep-dimensional rifts lead to the second-layer dimensional plane, with a small portion leading to the third layer.
In terms of danger, the rifts that connect to deeper layers are more hazardous.
These dimensional rifts are mostly temporary, with a few being permanent, but they are rare.
Li Qian's knowledge is that currently, within the shallow-dimensional plane, only Flying Frost City has a permanent, large-scale dimensional rift.
This is also the reason why Flying Frost City is constructed as one of the only two large cities.
Other permanent rifts are smaller in scale; they are either sealed or left untouched with warning signs.
This is how the various dangerous areas in the shallow-dimensional plane came to be.
The Dongxia Federation keeps these dimensional rifts, forming dangerous areas, to temper adventurers.
These places are hazardous, but the level of danger is not too high.
Aside from this, the greatest danger in the shallow-dimensional plane is the unstable rifts that open irregularly.
Normally, these unstable rifts cannot last for long.
The openings are primarily influenced by the energy tides of the deep-dimensional plane.
Of course, if one grasps some of the patterns, they can take advantage of the situation and delay or postpone the openings.
Previously, the shallow-dimensional plane under the jurisdiction of Kansai Beast Academy, specifically within the range of Mo Yuan City, experienced an undead tide due to the exploitation of this aspect by a cult organization.
This information was actively disclosed by the school's higher-ups during this period.
Li Qian understood that ever since he evolved into the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the school had listed him as a core member and was cultivating him as such.
His access privileges were also significantly elevated.
It could be said that as long as it didn't involve the school's most fundamental secrets, he had access to everything.
Based on this information, Li Qian gradually began to uncover a small part of the true situation of this world.
Skipping the small talk, after dining with Al Duri, Li Qian hurried back to Mystic Realm Number Three, lingered for a moment, and then went straight to the school's Companion Beast Center.
After a quick makeover to conceal his identity, Li Qian used the teleportation array in the campus Companion Beast Center to enter the dimensional plane.
The Adventurer's Hall in Shazhou City was still bustling with adventurers coming and going, a lively scene.
Upon arriving at the Adventurer's Hall, Li Qian presented his Adventurer Badge and entered the dimensional rift.
The Dimensional Plane.
Li Qian's figure emerged from the enormous, over ten-meter-tall light gate in the teleportation square of Cloudsky City.
There were ten cities in the dimensional plane under Shazhou Beast University, and each city was connected by fixed flying ship routes.
Having arrived in the dimensional plane alone, Li Qian naturally wouldn't venture to Phoenix City by himself.
Due to the distance, he couldn't reach it directly, so this time, Li Qian planned to take a flying ship to White Elephant City and then continue to Phoenix City from there.
The entire journey would take around seven hours.
Li Qian was somewhat anxious, but he understood that at this moment, being anxious wouldn't help, so he calmly made his way to the flying ship base in the northern part of the city, bought a ticket, and patiently waited.
After about half an hour, at 2:05 in the afternoon, the flying ship Li Qian was on finally departed on time.
Sitting in the flying ship, gazing at the scenery outside the window, Li Qian's thoughts raced.
The appearance of a deeper-dimensional rift in Phoenix City would undoubtedly attract a large influx of high-level extraordinary beings, which would seriously impact the city's safety.
Ever since ascending to the Imperial rank, Iron Elder had become the Governor of this small city, Flying Frost City. A permanent deep-dimensional rift appearing within his jurisdiction would undoubtedly attract his attention.
As for Iron Elder's personality, Li Qian had a good understanding of it.
"I hope Iron Elder is doing well!" Li Qian could only pray silently.
Fortunately, no bad news came.
This was the only thing that could comfort Li Qian at the moment.
The flying ship's speed was incredibly fast, surpassing most Overlord-rank companion beasts.
With such speed, flying without rest, it took approximately three hours to reach White Elephant City.
Upon arriving at White Elephant City, some adventurers disembarked, and new ones joined, increasing the number of people on the ship.
Li Qian didn't seem to mind this.
Now, he only hoped the ship would take off again soon.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the ship took off once more, becoming a black dot and disappearing into the distant horizon.
Unlike the previous journey from Cloudsky City to White Elephant City, this trip from White Elephant City to Phoenix City had a different atmosphere. The adventurers on board were more lively as they discussed the newly opened small-scale dimensional rift in Phoenix City.
Li Qian perked up his ears and listened, immediately becoming interested. The lively discussions among these adventurers mostly revolved around the dimensional rift in Phoenix City.
"Brother, you must be new to Phoenix City. I've already been here twice, and this is my third time."
"Let me tell you, Phoenix City has been bustling lately. Many adventurers are coming here for exploration."
"It's said that this small-scale dimensional rift leads to a three-dimensional plane, and numerous high-ranking companion beasts have emerged from it."
"What kinds of companion beasts are there?"
"It's quite strange to say, but most of the companion beasts in this small-scale dimensional rift are rodents."
"We must have disturbed a mouse nest."
"Brother, don't be disappointed. Aside from the extraordinary resources in the dimensional rift, these rodent companion beasts also have considerable cultivation value."
"For example, the Gold-devouring Mouse, the famous foundation-type companion beast of the Overlord-rank Devouring Beast."
"It's actually the foundation-type companion beast of the Overlord-rank Devouring Beast. If I catch one, even just one, I'll earn tens of millions."
"After hearing your words, brother, my heart can't help but feel impatient."
"..."
Li Qian listened to the adventurers' chatter, and a hint of interest appeared on his face as well.
Putting aside other matters, the fact that this place was already open to ordinary adventurers indicated that the danger level was not high.
These adventurers discussed with great enthusiasm, and it was clear that they were all heading to Phoenix City's small-scale dimensional rift.
Li Qian quietly listened without interrupting.
He was different from them; his purpose here was not for adventure or for resources like the Gold-devouring Mouse in the deep-dimensional plane.
Instead, he had come to visit Iron Elder.
Of course, now that he was here, if he confirmed that Iron Elder was doing well, he would also try to enter and train within the rift.
The flying ship flew for nearly four hours again, and as Li Qian caught sight of Phoenix City's silhouette, his heart couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive.
After a steady landing in Phoenix City, Li Qian quickly departed and soon arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
Upon reaching the Governor's Mansion, Li Qian reported his name, and within two minutes, a figure that seemed slightly unfamiliar appeared before his eyes—Iron Elder.
Perhaps it was because the Tidal Sea Spirit had advanced to the Imperial rank, but the feedback was evident. The current Iron Elder no longer carried the air of desolation and decadence from before. His entire being was filled with vigor, and he appeared much younger, probably in his early fifties.
Li Qian watched as Iron Elder walked forward with a smile on his face, and then he scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, a peculiar expression appeared on Li Qian's face.
Among those who followed Iron Elder, there were also Han Ke and Yi Linna.
Seeing this scene, Li Qian couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This new family is so well-organized!"
