Chapter 470: The Monkey Arrives! News from the Upper Realm! (Part 2)
Chapter 470: The Monkey Arrives! News from the Upper Realm! (Part 2)
In that case, even if God Liu sought revenge, it would be difficult to trace it back to them.
So, it was best to remain low-key.
...
Inside He City, the security was quite good.
At least, Lin Fan hadn't encountered any trouble along his journey.
Finally, in the western part of the city, he found the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
The tower had the same architectural style as the one in the lower realm, but it was clearly more majestic, enveloped in immortal Qi, and exuded an even more mysterious and extraordinary aura.
However, the vast tower was empty, with not a single person in sight.
Lin Fan strolled inside, following the directions within the tower, delving deeper.
Eventually, he met the mysterious master of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
Emmm...
Unfortunately, the person was behind a screen, and even with Lin Fan's Pupil Technique, he could only see a vague silhouette.
Instead, he noticed that the person was shrouded by the rules of time and space, as if they didn't belong to the entire ancient history!
"..."
Lin Fan slightly raised his eyebrows.
At that moment, the other person spoke, "You've arrived."
Lin Fan: "..."
What the hell?
Did he know me, or was he just acting mysterious and high and mighty?
And... how should I respond?!
Lin Fan didn't hesitate for too long.
It couldn't even be called hesitation.
Because he was very clear about one thing: no matter the reason, even if the other person was truly extraordinary and knew a lot, he would never tell him.
In other words, this was definitely a riddle person!
So, to deal with a riddle person...
Lin Fan smiled, "It seems I've come at the wrong time."
The other person paused.
"..."
"No, you've come at the right time."
Why does this sound like exchanging secret codes?
Lin Fan spoke again, "Perhaps I shouldn't have come."
The other person: "But you still came."
Lin Fan: "..."
"Make a move?"
"Oh, no, speak."
The other person: "..."
"You haven't asked yet."
Lin Fan: "???"
"Shouldn't you be standing here, knowing everything about the past, present, and future, understanding my thoughts and doubts, and providing me with all the answers?"
The other person fell silent again.
"Fate, a wonderful mystery."
"There's a connection between us, and you're shrouded in mist. Your future... is a void."
"Oh? Am I some sort of 'Heaven's Chosen'?"
Lin Fan felt like laughing.
Why did the master of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower give off the vibes of a street fortune teller?
These words...
At first glance, they sounded grand and profound.
But upon closer inspection, they were full of flaws.
The other person responded, "I cannot say."
Lin Fan: "..."
"Alright, then I won't ask."
Lin Fan despised riddle people the most, especially those who claimed to predict one's fate.
And the best way to deal with a riddle person was to go against their nature.
The more impatient you were, the more they would 'riddle', so it was best to act indifferent.
"I'm here to buy some information, or rather, news, as it can't even be called information."
Lin Fan spoke directly, "First, I want the basic information about the more powerful forces in the Immortal World."
"The basic information about the top experts and contemporary geniuses in the Immortal World."
"Also, I want the basic information about the Three Thousand Continents and the Foreign Realm."
"Is the Divine Realm a higher-level plane, or what is it?"
"Lastly, does the Immortal World have a Heavenly Court, or a Buddha like the Jade Emperor?"
"These are all basic information, not even considered intelligence. I've heard that the Heavenly Mechanism Tower is well-informed. Such basic information should be comprehensive, right?"
The other person fell silent once more.
He couldn't understand.
Why was this kid not following the usual script?
Was his performance not good enough?! After all this acting, shouldn't he be shocked and eager to know the future?
Shouldn't he be anxious to ask me related questions, wanting to know how to foresee the future?
You're not in a hurry...
How can I... ah, how can I make money?
He just wants to buy some basic information?
This is too cheap!
His thoughts raced, "As the saying goes, fate, luck, and feng shui."
"Your future..."
"Let's talk about my future later."
"I want to purchase that basic information now."
"..."
"..."
Damn!
Today, I've met a tough one.
He doesn't even care about his own future.
Even though I've created such a mysterious atmosphere, he's still in control?
A real tough one!
Damn, he's a tough one!
"Ten thousand Spirit Stones."
He spoke up.
Lin Fan frowned, "Shouldn't this be common knowledge? This price is a bit high."
"Twenty thousand."
"???"
"This is the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, not a vegetable market. Do you think you can haggle?"
"Thirty thousand!"
"..."
"Ninety thousand, and not a penny less!"
"Forty thousand!"
"..."
"Five thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!!!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"Sixty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand, take it or leave it. I can look elsewhere, although it'll be more troublesome, but there should be other options."
"Fine!"
"Considering our connection, I'll sell it to you at a loss for fifty thousand."
Lin Fan: "..."
Tsk!
He had figured it out, thinking to himself, "Looks like the Heavenly Mechanism Tower isn't doing well in the Upper World."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."
He sighed softly.
But upon careful consideration, it made sense.
In the Immortal Martial Continent, the Heavenly Mechanism Tower might be one of a kind, but what about the Upper World?
Being able to secure a place in the Upper Realm is already a remarkable achievement.
Even more so, being able to open such a large Heavenly Mechanism Tower in He City, and presumably having branches in other continents, is a sign of doing extremely well.
...
Cash on delivery.
After receiving the relevant information, Lin Fan first used his divine sense to probe the jade slip containing information about the major forces in the Immortal Realm.
He quickly grasped the details within.
Among these major forces, there was no 'Heavenly Court.'
The undisputed first and top leader was the 'Immortal Palace.'
In addition, there were many other major forces he had never heard of, but they all ranked below the Immortal Palace.
Among these major forces, Lin Fan also saw the twelve familiar Holy Lands.
Hmm~~
In the Lower Realm, there are only nine Holy Lands left, but here, all twelve Holy Lands still exist.
However, they are doing relatively average.
They belong to the category of major forces.
But in the Immortal Realm's major forces, most of them rank towards the bottom.
Only the Heaven Repair Pavilion, Heaven Seizing Sect, and Forgetfulness Dao rank higher, considered to be in the middle-upper tier.
The others are in the middle-lower tier.
The Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land ranks the lowest.
Because the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land only has women, and most of them are of extraordinary beauty.
With so many beauties, it's easy to attract unwanted attention.
After experiencing many incidents, the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land gradually became more low-key, but this also led to the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land's strength not improving much.
At the same time, Lin Fan also noticed a particularly unique existence—the Supreme Dao Ground.
The description of this force was quite eye-catching: it's a major force.
But at the same time, it's the smallest force.
The Supreme Dao Ground only passes on knowledge to one person per generation.
"Looks like it's the Supreme Dao Ground I was thinking of."
After noting down this information, Lin Fan began to check the information about the Upper Realm's Celestial Prodigies.
The information was vast and varied!
Within the Thirty-Three Continents, there are over a million beings who can be called Celestial Prodigies! Each is under a hundred years old.
But almost any one of them has cultivation above the Immortal level.
Even Immortals can only rank towards the bottom, with the majority, if not the vast majority, having broken through to the True Immortal level and beyond!
Even with the Upper Realm's inherent advantages, such cultivation and talent are indeed worthy of being called Celestial Prodigies.
Even the elites among Celestial Prodigies.
And these Celestial Prodigies, over ninety percent come from major forces.
More than ten percent are from the Immortal Palace.
Less than three percent are self-made cultivators who have achieved their status through their own efforts.
And...
The top rankings are mostly occupied by major forces, making it difficult for self-made cultivators to secure a place.
"It's almost like a monopoly."
"Everywhere is the same."
Lin Fan sighed lightly.
He put down the jade slip and picked up the third one.
It contained information about the 'Heavenly Court' and 'Buddha.'
"In ancient times, the Heavenly Court indeed existed. It was known as the Ancient Heavenly Court and was later overthrown, with the Immortal Palace taking its place and rule..."
"The Immortal Palace?"
"That's fine."
"Regarding Buddha, there's no such person?"
"Um..."
"Good."
Finally, Lin Fan began to check the information about the Other Realms and the Divine Realm.
"The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless. The Thirty-Three Continents are only a part of it, and an even smaller part at that. Beyond the Thirty-Three Continents, there are vast and boundless voids, lands, and oceans..."
"These regions theoretically have countless races, all of which can be called Other Races."
"The Other Races bordering the Thirty-Three Continents are four in number."
"The Barbarian Clan beyond the Sword Qi Great Wall."
"The Demon Clan beyond the Grand Wall of Righteousness."
"The Snow Clan beyond the Winter Great Wall."
"The Mechanic Clan beyond the Endless Great Wall..."
"The Mechanic Clan?"
Lin Fan was surprised.
According to this 'intelligence,' the four Great Walls correspond to the four cardinal directions, each guarding a side.
The other races are easy to understand.
But the Mechanic Clan made Lin Fan ponder, trying to figure out what exactly the Mechanic Clan was.
It can't just be about mechanical stuff,, right?
Is it about scientific cultivation, with boundless magical power?
Lin Fan stroked his chin and finally began to check the information about the Divine Realm.
"The Divine Realm is not a higher plane; it exists within the Immortal Realm but is independent of it."
"Based on the description, it can be considered a 'super large small world'?"
"Only they call themselves the 'Divine Race' and do not consider themselves human."
"Their bloodline is indeed different from ordinary humans, and pure-blood Divine Race members are born with at least Eighth Stage combat power?"
"Because of this, the Divine Race and Divine Realm look down on the Thirty-Three Continents and all other races, and never intermarry with the Immortal Realm..."
"Due to their formidable strength, the other races of the Thirty-Three Continents do not provoke them either."
"Both sides have been in a state of non-interference over the years."
"..."
After understanding the basic information about the Divine Realm, Lin Fan's mood became a bit complex.
From this result, the Divine Realm is not as high as the Divine World in the ' of Change, and Divine Realm is not a higher plane above the Immortal Realm.
For Qin Yu, this is a good thing. At least the difficulty of bringing back his wife is reduced a bit...
But for others, the 'difficulty' has increased dramatically.
The Divine Realm is not the Upper Realm!
Therefore, the plot and 'enemies' of the Divine Realm will be 'integrated' into the Immortal Realm.
In other words...
The enemies in the later stages of the Immortal Realm will be incredibly strong!
Or one could say, after the Thirteenth Stage, each person is more and more monstrous!
"Ah."
"The overall plot direction is gradually becoming incomprehensible."
Lin Fan rubbed his temples.
"
The overall direction is the major trends of the Immortal Realm.
The details are the subsequent 'experiences' of the various main character templates.
T
"Right~!"
Lin Fan suddenly raised a finger: "I bought so much information, so why not give me one more for free?"
"In the Divine Realm or otherworldly realms, are there Divine Kings named An Lan and Yu Tuo?"
An Lan and Yu Tuo, in fact, had already been 'encountered' before.
In the world of Jiang Divine King, or Jiang Li and Jiang Ni's original world, to be precise.
However, that world was a bit peculiar.
Lin Fan, up until now, still couldn't figure out if that world was just a 'dungeon' or a parallel world with the same timeline as the 'main world' that Qi Ping was from.
Explaining it would be quite troublesome.
In simple terms, it was unclear if that world originally existed with the same timeline, or if it was created by Su Yan's golden finger, or the chat group, for a 'group quest'.
The difference between the two was not insignificant.
"..."
The Pavilion Master behind the screen remained silent for a long time before forcing himself to maintain his composure and said, "There is no precedent for a buy-one-get-one offer in the Heavenly Mechanism Tower."
"How is it buy-one-get-one? I've bought so many, what's wrong with giving one away?"
A single word squeezed out from between the other's teeth, "There is."
"Do you have any other business?"
The next sentence was left unspoken.
If not, scram! I thought a big deal was coming, but it turned out to be someone even craftier than a monkey.
How boring!
"You really have it?"
Lin Fan was astonished.
"It seems that world was created by the system?"
"No, no, that's not right either."
"Then how do you explain Jiang Li and Jiang Ni?"
"This..."
"It's a mess, everything's gone awry."
For a moment, Lin Fan didn't know how to explain it either.
But at least for Lin Fan at this moment, having An Lan and Yu Tuo was a good thing.
With these two guys around, it at least represented that Shi Hao's experiences shouldn't undergo too much change.
As long as the Boundless Heaven Emperor is stable...
The problem won't be too big!
"You're still not leaving?"
Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't leaving, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower started to chase him away.
"I'll be going now."
Lin Fan smiled and then left the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
"..."
"I finally have a basic understanding of the Divine Realm."
Lin Fan heaved a slight sigh of relief.
The Divine Realm was vast.
The powers within were diverse and complex.
The knowledge of those he had possessed before was less than a fraction of the whole.
If he didn't find an intelligence agency to refine his information and spend some money, he feared he wouldn't be able to figure it all out until the year of the monkey.
In fact, most people in the Divine Realm didn't bother to understand all of this.
It was time-consuming and laborious, not to mention useless.
After all, for ordinary Immortals and True Immortals...
They didn't have the qualifications to venture too far, and knowing the general situation of the world and their own surroundings was enough for them to 'wander'.
"But what exactly is this Mechanic Clan..."
"I'm really curious."
"..."
"This Teleportation Array..."
"It's so huge!"
Within a city in the Divine Realm, Shi Hao stepped into the Teleportation Array.
Looking at the dense array patterns and the multitude of cultivators and Immortals, he couldn't help but exclaim.
When he was in the lower realm, he had also used super long-distance Teleportation Arrays several times, and was considered well-traveled.
But at this moment, when comparing the two, he realized that the super long-distance Teleportation Arrays in the lower realm... were just trash.
At least, compared to the Teleportation Array before him, whether in size or the complexity of its patterns, it was a thousand times inferior.
And this Teleportation Array could cross continents!
Boom!
A dazzling silver light shot into the sky.
Within the Teleportation Array, tens of thousands of people disappeared...
When his vision returned, Shi Hao had already left the West Bull Prosperous Continent and appeared in the Clear Wind Continent.
After stepping out of the Teleportation Array, he narrowed his eyes.
"The concentration of Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi is indeed higher than in the West Bull Prosperous Continent."
"I heard..."
"The Qin Clan is in the southeastern part of the Clear Wind Continent?"
Now, Shi Hao had fully recovered from his injuries and was even stronger than before, having broken through to the Immortal realm! But the Upper Realm was still unfamiliar to him.
He didn't know where to go.
Therefore...
He decided to first take care of something that had been weighing on his mind.
Finding his parents!
Initially, in Stone Monkey's world, he thought his parents had met with an accident, but in the end, he learned that they had been brought to the Upper Realm by someone from the Upper Realm! He didn't know how they managed it.
All he knew was that the one who brought them was from his mother's family, the Qin Clan.
The Qin Clan was considered a major power in the Divine Realm!
Therefore, after spending some time in the West Bull Prosperous Continent and learning that the Qin Clan was in the southeastern part of the Clear Wind Continent, he immediately rushed to the Clear Wind Continent after finding a super Teleportation Array that could cross continents.
However, he didn't directly head to the southwestern region.
Instead, he prepared to first understand the situation in the Clear Wind Continent.
Additionally...
He needed to make some more money.
The money he earned before was all spent on just one use of the super long-distance Teleportation Array.
When visiting the Qin Clan to see his parents, he couldn't possibly go empty-handed, right? Besides...
Shi Hao also felt a bit nervous.
After all, his memories of his parents were already extremely vague.
"..."
Shi Hao spent the next period of time traveling within the Clear Wind Continent.
He encountered many things.
But since he didn't provoke anyone, the issues weren't too big, and he could handle all the situations he encountered.
One day...
Shi Hao was staying at an inn.
Just as he was about to leave, he overheard some drunkards discussing after finishing their drinks.
"Have you heard?"
"The Supreme Dao Ground is reappearing?"
"What?!"
"Hiss!!!"
"The Supreme Dao Ground is reappearing?"
"What is the Supreme Dao Ground?"
"Get lost, you're not qualified to speak with us if you don't even know about the Supreme Dao Ground."
"With the reappearance of the Supreme Dao Ground, they must be taking in disciples again, but I wonder who will be so lucky..."
