Because the Jhiod Sect sent people and demon beasts every year, the official opening every nine years had no meaning anymore. That only served to reinforce the idea that the system chose this quest for this point.
Lrist was still a little stunned after everything he had heard so far. However, he still answered Roan’s question. “The answer to that you will find close to the border between Lebgram and Jhiod Continent. There is a city there called Infal. All the tests happen there. Other than that, I don’t know much more.”
Rean and the others nodded in response. “Very well.”
Soon after, Celis dispersed his Divine Energy Draining Prison. They had nothing more to get from Lrist, after all. “Well, you can do whatever you want. We’ll be taking our leave.”
Before Lrist could say anything, they all boarded Kentucky, who shot straight back to the city.
While they did that, Lrist looked as the twins’ group disappeared in the distance and sighed in relief. In the end, they kept their side of the deal and let him go. ‘I hope I’ll never see these guys again.’ That wasn’t all. He also made a decision after what he discussed with the twins’ group. ‘I’m gonna head the fuck out of this continent. How the hell have I never thought about all of that? It was so obvious! Let me see… Litan went to Untrai Continent to look for someplace to create a guild. I’m pretty sure he won’t mind getting some extra help.’ With that, Lrist was never seen in Lebgram Continent again.
Back in the city, everyone except Roan entered the Dimensional Realm before he went straight to the Formation Guild. The only thing Roan felt annoyed about was that he was close to the border between Lebgram and Jhiod Continent before. However, he teleported back to the center of the continent to gather information that he would have probably acquired there anyway. In other words, it was a waste of Divine Stones.
Nevertheless, Infal City was quite a big city compared to the cities one would usually find on the borders of the continents. It had over 800 million citizens, which almost made it a big city by the Realm of Gods’ standard. Obviously, it was mostly because the geniuses that had no connection with the top five powers came to this place to try the test.
That wasn’t all. Jhiod’s reputation wasn’t spread only in the continents bordering it. It also reached the continents further away. With that said, one would get cultivators and demon beasts from other continents coming to this city to try their luck. Not everyone had a Kibin Race member like the twins to traverse the continental barrier, but that didn’t mean others didn’t have their own methods. Erithean, for example, simply used his high cultivation to do that.
Because of that, the city constantly received cultivators and demon beasts in human form from everywhere, just like the other continents around Jhiod. That also explained why no one was really surprised that Rean and Roan weren’t from Lebgram when they talked about it. Such a thing was surprisingly common around here.
In the Formation Guild of Infal City, a teleport formation was activated four days later. Soon after, a black-haired man stepped out, quickly leaving the Formation Guild. Following that, three more guys appeared by his side after he went to a concealed corner. As one could imagine, it was Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis, with Kentucky and Celis being in their humanoid forms. “Alright, let’s gather some information.”
It went without saying that the test to enter Jhiod was the most famous thing in Infal City. With that, it was quite easy to find information regarding this issue. In just a few hours, the twins’ group was already in front of a giant building, which was by far the biggest in the entire city.
-Jhiod Sect is Waiting For You-
Or so said the board in front of the building.
Roan’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a little after that. “What the hell is this? Did we come to a travel company by mistake?”
Rean laughed in response. “Hahaha! Hey! Maybe they can give us some brochures inside. You know, those pamphlets with tourist attractions from Jhiod Continent.”
Celis and Kentucky were lost when they heard these words. Then again, they didn’t come from Earth, so it was obvious.
Roan then shook his head after that. “Stop the bullshit, and let’s get inside.”
However, just as they were about to enter the building, an attendant quickly came to them. “Welcome, welcome! Would you like to join Jhiod Sect? Here, have these promotional jade slips and see which sector suits you best.”
Roan then looked at Rean with a dark expression, saying, “See what you did?”
Rean almost tumbled to the ground after that. “How the hell is it my fault?! I’ve never thought they would really have something like pamphlets here. Well, they’re jade slips, but still…”
The attendant didn’t know what the twins were complaining about. “Err… Is there something wrong?”
Rean quickly shook his head.”Oh, sorry, sorry. It’s nothing. We just happened to see a similar thing in the past.” Rean then changed the topic. “I’m curious, though. I heard that joining the Jhiod Sect was extremely hard, and the majority died trying. I mean… should you be treating this place more seriously? It feels more like you’re trying to sell some travel insurance.”
The attendant nodded in response. He didn’t know what travel insurance was, but he had an idea. “Oh, so that’s the case. Well, a lot of people die, right? We’re just trying to make things more lively to alleviate the burden. If you check the jade slips, you’ll see all the good things that you’ll get if you pass the test. Don’t you think it’s nice?”
