Chapter 30: Central Continent

Li Gang started surveying the surroundings. He has already reached Rank 3 early stage, so moving few miles within a minute isn't a big deal.

As he started his journey, he soon realised that this isn't a large forest like in the small world. He found the way out not too long after arriving here.

Li Gang came out of the forest and entered the nearby city. He first started searching for an inn.

Li Gang stopped a middle aged man. "Hello, I just arrived here and I am not sure about the situation here. Can you please give me the way to an inn?"

The man was wearing a thin robe due to warm atmosphere here. He looked at Li Gang and was puzzled. He spoke. "#$%&**%^&T^&$^%R"

Li Gang immediately realized. 'Language barrier!'

But, he could already understand what he just said. 'What are you saying?' This is the reason he has focused on learning multiple languages since he was little. He knew, if he wanted to improve, he would have to travel to many places. And language barrier is something he would have to overcome.

Although he could understand the language, he wasn't much proficient in it. He learnt this language from Wang Xueyao, but he never had time to practice it properly.

But anyways, it was enough to have the communication here. He said in their language with improper accent. "I just arrived here and I am not aware of the situation here. Can you tell me where to find the inn?"

The man looked a lot more comfortable hearing their native language, even though it was broken. He replied. "Yes, but it is a bit far away. You can go 1 mile straight from this way and then turn right, then continue for another ... "

After listening, Li Gang nodded. "Thank you brother."

The man smiled. "If you have problem figuring out, you can ask someone on the way."

Li Gang nodded and continued moving in the directed path. After going and asking multiple people on his way, he finally reached the inn.

It was quite a large inn. 'This place should be popular. Otherwise they wouldn't build such a large inn. Is it because the Sword Gate near this place?'

It is obvious that if one of the top 5 Sect of the Central Continent is here, then lot of people from different places would come here. Therefore, having such a large inn seems logical.

Li Gang entered the inn and went straight to the counter. There was a middle aged man sitting there. He asked in a polite manner. "Hello sir, welcome to our Silver Moon Inn. How may I help you? Do you need lodgings? Or perhaps meal?"

Li Gang replied. "I want a place to live temporarily."

The innkeeper nodded. He took out a key to a room and asked one of the worker. "Shaoqin, take this key and show him the room."

Then he looked towards Li Gang and said. "It's 100 spirit stones per month."

Li Gang was surprised, but still took it out and gave it to him. He thought: 'It's quite costly.'

He has already looted many Warriors in the Small World and currently possesses over 10,000 spirit stones!

After taking a rest for 2 days continuously, he started exploring the town. After interacting with many natives, he soon came to a shop which sold many diverse items.

He asked. "Do you possess the maps?"

The shopkeeper replied. "Yes, which one do you want? We have all kinds of maps: Central Continent, all the provinces and domains and even this Bladehaven town."

Li Gang was surprised. He replied: "Give me all of them. It's better to give as detailed as possible."

The shopkeeper nodded.

After purchasing the maps, Li Gang returned to the inn and started studying the map.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

The Central Continent is larger than the Southern Continent by around 30 trillion sq kilometers and is divided into 6 Regions: Ethereal Peak Territory, Golden Plains, Verdant Forest Territory, Crimson Peak Domain, Silver Frost Province, Celestial Peak Domain. Each headed by a Great Sect of Central Continent.

Celestial Peak Domain: It is lead by Celestial Sect. This sect is renown as the strongest sect in this world. It is situated at the central part of the continent.

Ethereal Peak Territory: It is situated in the northern part of the Central continent. This region is filled with towering peaks, and often faces rainy seasons. It is headed by Ethereal Sect.

Golden Plains: It is in the western part of the Central Continent, and has vast deserts. It is controlled by Golden Dragon Sect.

Verdant Forest Territory: This region is situated in the eastern part of the continent. It encompasses vast region of forests, thus it's name. It is headed by Harmony Fang Sect, which are specialized in beast taming.

Crimson Peak Domain: It is in the West-Southern part of the continent, headed by a Demonic Sect: Heavenly Demon Sect.

Finally, Silver Frost Province: This is present in the East-Southern part of the continent. It is said that this place was constructed by destroying the vast forest of Verdant Forest Territory. People still talk about it, mainly because of the enmity of Harmony Fang Sect and the Sword Gate which leads this region.

The place where Li Gang currently in is at the center of the Silver Frost Province within Bladehaven town, near the Sword Gate.

Sword Gate is a huge sect, which covers an area of about a billion square kilometer. It is expectable when you think about them as one of the largest sects in the world and have many Rank 6 and Rank 7 Warriors. For Rank 6 and Rank 7 Warriors, covering the whole sect is a matter of minutes!

Li Gang has no plans of going to the Sword Gate. He looked at all the maps deeply and thought about his plans.

'I wanted to join this Sword Sect, since this is the weakest sect among all the major sects of the Central Continent. But after learning from Huang Ling that those with stronger soul cultivation have higher thinking speed, I am afraid that old man Jiang might have left some tricks. I have only one life, I will never gamble on it.'

What Li Gang doesn't know, a person who has been dead for so long, even if they had strong Soul Cultivation when they were alive, their current Soul is just an obsession and won't scheme against others. However, it is another matter if he planned everything when he was still alive.

Li Gang murmured. "It is better to go to Heavenly Demon Sect first. Even though those people are known as savages and would do anything to achieve their goal, such places are more suitable for my growth. They focus most on the battles, and it would be great to learn battle tactics. What I lack most is battle experience. Even in the inheritance, I could have destroyed more puppets if I had proper battle experience and there is another weakness: my improper Soul and Body synchronization."

Although Li Gang has become habitual to new fighting style even with improper synchronization, but it is undeniable that it still holds him back! Not only is his Soul too strong, it is also not properly refined. He only has quantity which have been forcefully instilled within him. Unless he refine his soul properly, they would only be considered as worst utilization of resources. One can guess how poorly his Soul Cultivation has increased from the fact that even a Rank 4 Soul Cultivator can seriously injure him easily!

Heavenly Demon Sect is around 5 million miles from this place, and given his speed, it would take him over a year to reach there.

He murmured inwardly. 'If only I had the ability to sense soul, I would have learnt Beast Taming and it would have been much easier to travel with something like Whirlwind Eagle. But anyways, it's pointless to think about what I don't have.'

It would take around 2 months just to get out of this city itself if he moved on his feet. Even at his full speed, he would take around 1 month to get out of this city, but he has to continuously run without stopping, which is not possible. A human's stamina is limited, even if it is increased with cultivation.

This is why, he went to one of the Spirit Beast Market near to his place. Here, all kinds of Spirit Beasts are being sold. Not everyone is talented in Beast Taming and not everyone is able to Cultivate Soul, thus, many methods have been used to control beasts for travelling since ages. You can even rent Beasts to travel. There are many Beast Tamers who earn Spirit Stones using transportation as a business.

There are many ways people use to control Spirit Beasts. Some tame them since they were born, some use coercion, some use pills, and there are many other methods.

Li Gang entered the Shop. It was even more luxurious as compared to the inn he was staying. Li Gang looked at everything and thought 'It seems this business is quite good, I can enter into this field in future.'

He went to the counter and asked directly. "I want to purchase Spirit Beasts."

There was a middle aged man who was sitting at the counter. He looked at Li Gang and nodded. He called one of the worker here. "Hu Xin"

A young man immediately came over.

The middle aged man said. "Show this gentleman our best Spiritual Beasts."

Hu Xin nodded and said. "Hello sir, my name is Hu Xin. Come with me."

Li Gang nodded. "I am Li Gang, you can call my name directly."

Soon, they went to 2nd floor. There were all kinds of beasts gathered, with some kind of dark collar around their neck.

Seeing Li Gang, Hu Xin understood his thoughts. "This collar is used to control those beasts. We will provide you the token key to use the collar."

Li Gang's eye narrowed. "Does the shop possess spare key?"

Hu Xin replied politely. "Sir, our shop is one of the trusted one in this place. You can see from the number of customers. We would never do such thing as cheating our customers."

Li Gang scoffed inwardly but didn't show anything on the surface.
