“What a strange place!” Lin Feng shivered. This place belonged to the real world, it wasn’t an illusion.
After remaining silent for a while, Lin Feng sighed. This world was full of mysteries. Things Lin Feng could never imagine continued to happen, having come to the Continent of the Nine Clouds after his death was already astounding.
Besides, in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, Lin Feng didn’t know how many extremely strong cultivators there were. Lin Feng had no doubts that there were cultivators who could destroy mountains and empty oceans, but what he was wondering about was; would he be strong enough to meet them?
“Are there people here like us?” Suddenly asked Lin Feng.
Lin Hai nodded and said: “Yes and many of them also practice cultivation, just like us. This place is still in the Continent of the Nine Clouds but it is a long, long way from Xue Yue. The cave enabled us to come here.”
“You mean like teleportation?” Asked Lin Feng stupefied. In his previous life Lin Feng had heard about teleportation in books and had seen teleportation in movies.
“You know about teleportation!” A flash of shock passed through Lin Hai’s eyes. He was surprised. They were far from being at the level of teleporting themselves, there were some rumours about it though. Lin Hai had read about teleportation in an ancient book but surprisingly, Lin Feng knew about it too.
“Teleportation really exists…” Thought Lin Feng surprised. Considering Lin Hai’s words, there were really some people who used teleportation in the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
“But in ancient books, people teleport themselves from one place to another feel dizzy and nauseous, however, I have passed through the illusion and into the cave many times, but I have never had such a feeling, it feels very smooth each time without any strange sensations. It seems like the kind of teleportation they mention in books is not entirely the same as ours, maybe our teleportation is not really a teleportation spell at all, I’m not sure either way.” Said Lin Hai, Lin Feng was speechless. If that wasn’t a teleportation spell and the cave illusion enabled them to move from one place to another, then what exactly was it?
Lin Feng suddenly turned his head around and gazed into the distance, the desert was vast and boundless. There was absolutely nothing. Lin Feng was surprised: “Father, how are we going to get back?”
“Very easy. You just need to go stand where you arrived in the first place, close your eyes and think about going back. That is why I am saying that it doesn’t seem like a teleportation spell, in the ancient books, they talk about two types of teleportation: a return teleportation, a one-way teleportation. For the return teleportation, the two places have a gate so people can cross back and forth, in the case of one-way teleportation, there is no possibility of returning, but here, we used an illusion to travel here, then we just have to think of the location to return.”
“How strange.” Lin Feng didn’t understand how it worked at all. He then asked again: “Father, have you ever walked around here? Have you ever asked people what the name of the place is? Are we still in the Xue Yu region?”
“Even though those people practice cultivation too and speak the same language as us, their personality and mentality is very different. They are very stubborn so-to-say, there is a city: its name is Tianya Haige, its army is extremely strong and they control everything in this region. The region is like a fortress, its inhabitants are only allowed to live inside that city, for example, they cannot go out and wander the desert freely. As far as other places are concerned, they call the outside world “the ruins”. They cannot take even half a step outside of their city.”
“The ruins? They think the outside world is just made of ruins?” Asked Lin Feng.
“I don’t know. Maybe they haven’t been out of their city before.” Said Lin Hai while shaking his head. “People there have absolute faith in their government and city, at such a level, it cannot even be called nationalism anymore. They have absolute faith in their beliefs, they believe from the bottom of their heart that the outside world is composed of only ruins. Nobody dares to question that statement, nobody dares oppose the government of Tianya Haige, their religion is omnipresent in their thoughts. Besides, they have never heard of Xue Yue, they only know that they are in the Continent of the Nine Clouds.”
“What kind of horrible place is that!” Lin Feng was speechless, nationalism, religion?
Nobody dared call their beliefs into question? Nobody dared oppose the government? They didn’t allow anyone to go to other places and have a look…
