[BL] Tamer of Another World

52 - Low Land, Middle Land and Saint Land

But before Cole could go to that forest, he have to follow the procedure of the sect. Although it was tasked to him specifically from the Sect Master who he have yet to meet, he have to make sure first if the mission is already assigned to him. He want to avoid the scene where he finished the mission but can't receive any reward becuase he didn't follow the procedures.

Since he have to legally accept the mission, he have to go to [Mission Hollow] but he decided to make a stop at [Information Tree] as he wanted to leave a message to Master Timber through Elder One.

Several minutes later, he arrived inside the [Information Tree] and saw the lady who received him before.

Cole approach and the lady smile at him as she recognize him.

"Is Elder One here? Can I talk to him?" He asked.

The lady shakes her head, "He's not here. He have a very important thing to do for a moment." she answered amicably. If this was any other disciple who request to meet the illustrious Elder One, she will deny him immediately but since he knew that the Elder received him before, she didn't do it.

"Is that so?"

The lady contemplated for a moment before she said, "Yes. There are people who visit our Sect who seem came from the middle land. Most of the Elders and Grand Elders are requested to go to Convergence Peak for welcoming them."

Cole nodded. "What is the middle land?" He asked.

"There are three kinds of land in this world. The current continent where we were at which is the Forest Continent, along with three other continents were known as the lower lands. Next was the middle lands where our visitors come from and lastly, the Saint Land." The lady explained.

Cole just nodded and didn't respond immediately. He was trying to digest the information he received.

"Of course, there are difference between lands. For instance, the lower lands was called the like that because of the energies of Heaven and Earth are thin and low, as if it will be depleted by any moment. The middle lands have more rich Heaven and Earth energies while the Saint Land has the richest." The lady added.

Cole nodded, "What is the significance of rich Heaven and Earth energy?" he asked.

"The greater the energy of Heaven and Earth, the faster the progress of cultivators. For example, in low lands, after reaching the Void Sensing-Stage, the progress of cultivator will get slow and it will also get more slower the higher they progress. It was as if this place could only support cultivators in Nascent Soul-Stage and below. But in Middle Lands, reaching the Void Sensing-Stage was easy as reaching Core Formation-Stage here in low lands." She paused. "There was even a rumor that commoners at the Middle Lands could reach a Peak of Body Tempering-Stage and Mana Gathering-Stage if there potential was a little higher."

"Really?" Cole asked, surprised. Reaching Mana Gathering-Stage without a practice of Martial Arts and by only the energies that enter their body through their passive breathing... Just how rich the energies of Heaven and Earth on that place?

The lady, which Cole will know later that she was called Apple, and him talk more about the wonders of Middle Lands for half an hour when Elder One appear and their conversation stopped. It maybe because Apple was working at the Information Tree which was why she know more knowledge about other places compare to normal people. And it benefited Cole a lot.

"It's good that you're here." Elder One greeted Cole while he nodded at Apple.

"Is there something you need from me Elder?" Cole asked.

"Nothing, really." Elder One answered. "But the information I will say included you and it is a very good news."

Cole nodded and didn't say anything to respond. He just waited for the good news from Elder One.

"Apple, you listen too as it will be your tasked on spreading this news to the whole Outer Wood-Peak."

Apple bowed, "Yes, Elder One."

"The Five Element Sect of ours was just a branch." Elder One started. "And those who visit us are the members of the Five Element Sect from our main branch at the Middle Lands. They are here to recruits talented disciples that they will bring at the Middle Lands and nurture there." He paused. "Spread the news that two weeks from now and the selection will start. Everyone has a chance," He then shifted his sight to Cole and said, "League Leaders are required to try."

Cole frown after he heard the last sentence. Why is league leaders are required to join?

As if Elder One heard his puzzlement, he said, "The truth is, those people from the Middle Lands didn't thought of us highly. In fact, they knew that the competence of disciples here were low, which is why they required the league leaders to attend as they thought that league leaders should have the competence they were expecting, or more."

Cole nodded as it cleared his confusion.

"Well then, I'll attend that event."

Elder One nodded, "Good. Just give it your all. Even if you lose, they will know that your competence shouldn't something they should mock." He advised.

Cole just nodded as he knew that Elder One doesn't have the confidence he will achieve something in the upcoming event. Well, it seems he have to surprise him in the near future.

"Did you get the message?" Elder One asked Apple.

"Yes, Elder."

"Good. Make sure that every disciples of Outer-Peak will receive this message."

"Yes, Elder." Then Apple leave the room.

"Oh? Why are you here again? Did you need anything?" Elder One asked Cole after Apple leave.

"Ah, yes! Please relay this message to Master Timber; the man of the Red Skull Bandit in the Underground Metal Prison have quite a severe damage to his soul. If that soul damage wasn't healed, I think that the man won't be able to say any information they will ask from him."

Elder One nodded his head as if he get the circumstances. And it is true. Soul was connected to people's mind and it usually contain all the memories. If the soul was damaged, then the person's memory will get jumbled at the least. In worst case scenario, that person will become crazy. Fortunately, the man was a powerful individual and has a powerful soul. His memory was probably just jumbled.

"I'll will give this message to Master Timber."

Cole nodded and started to walk outside of the Information Tree. Then, his next destination was at Mission Hollow where he received the Flowerhead Forest Mission legally.

After that, he decided to retire for the day and decided he will enter the Flowerhead Forest tomorrow.
