The Story Never Ends

Davion used his Mind-Eye and saw that few dark particles were gathering upon Isla and it swiftly flew inside her.

"Is this what cultivation feels like? Taking the elementary particles from the surrounding and refining them into Qi? Sigh, I don't have to cultivate. I just need to level up. This is too boring; I might as well go back to sleep."

Along the way, Davion asked about the things he didn't know from Isla. He ate the dry food that she had prepared before the journey. Even though he didn't need to eat as much as before. But to show that he was a mortal, he had to eat it. In this way, he spent his journey for the whole two weeks.

In the ship, Davion was sitting cross-legged on the mattress. He was thinking about everything he learned about the Northern Mainland on his way.

There are five middle-grade sects in the Northern Mainland. They are the Holy Water Sect, Great Wind Sect, Thunderbolt Sect, Demonic Beast Sect, and Dragon Fist Sect. They are in charge of the inner territory and hold great power. In the outer region, there are at least twenty lower grade sects according to Isla.

The resources in the outer region are very scarce. So, they hold the Northern Sects Conference meeting every 3 years where the disciples have to battle against each other using the sects' teaching and knowledge. In this way, the ranking is finalized and the resources are divided according to it. The Bone and Devil Sect has already been ranked last in five conference meetings. So, the condition of this sect is already poor. It looked like Isla didn't even want to talk about it anymore.

There was one thing that he didn't understand; if the inner region had more resources why not go there to cultivate? So, he simply asked her.

Isla thought for a while and replied, "If you want to go from the outer territory to the inner territory, you have to pass through the Wild Northern Forest. There are strong beasts living there. Even if you pass through it, you might not have the good talent to join a middle-grade sect. There are two ways to join a sect; one is the Sect Selection Ceremony which occurs every ten years throughout the world and the second way is by completing the sect's assessment which those sects hold occasionally."

"So, who wants to go and try to shame themselves? They just stay here and try to develop their sect. Only a few talented people try to leave and join those middle-grade sects. If you don't have talent then you can forget about it." thinking about this, she was also a little sad. Then she thought of something and slapped her face.

"So, talent and spiritual root is everything." thought Davion.

"So, what is your spiritual root? I even forgot to see your talisman. I just left it there."

Davion had black lines on his face and thought "She is too naive and gets easily excited."

"Do I say that I have a grade 2 spiritual root? But it might look suspicious if I joined the Bone and Devil Sect with this talent. Forget it, I might as well tell the truth." he pondered and said, "Grade 1 spiritual root with no affinity to elements."

"Hehe, it looks like you are a little bit worse than me. I have the same root as you but I have an affinity with dark elements." Isla smiled. She looked outside and said, "We have reached. Let's go."

Isla and Davion both jumped out from the ship. She collected the ship into her ring.

"Ahh, finally after two weeks I could feel the land." Davion smiled and started to stretch his body.

They had landed on the yellow ground. There were many cracks on it. It looked like it had cracked up out of dryness. Everything wilted and vegetation was extinct.

She said, "This is several hundred meters outside of the Dark Moon City. That city used to be under our control many years ago but after loosing continuously in the Conference battle and ranking last. We have lost all the resources. The only thing left is our sacred ground."

"Follow me", she said.

They proceeded forward, and very soon the barren earth lessened and more forestry could be seen around them.

Very soon, they entered a black-colored forest.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt as if the sun in the sky had dimmed after entering the forest, and there was a layer of dark smog in the surroundings giving off a chilly feeling.

"This place is very deserted. If you want to buy anything, you've got to travel to the Dark Moon City which is the nearest. There are other cities around but they are a bit far, remember," she said.

After half an hour, they arrived in the center of the forest. He saw a spacious area in front of him. And what was projected before their eyes was a large graveyard. There was a black door with a green gem inserted on it. This door gave a scary feeling.

Above the door was a signboard hung on it.

"Bone and Devil Sect."

These four words were etched squarely and neatly into the inky black signboard, looking rather imposing.
