Chapter 1905: At a Loss for Words
“Old Alfie!” Aarav Lyons responded.
“Old Alfie?” Everyone was puzzled. “Who is that?”
“He is the former master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. It’s said that he knows everything under the heavens and on earth,” Aarav Lyons continued.
“But he’s a bit eccentric. Unless he wants to, it’s hard for anyone to meet him.”
“Where is the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?” Casey asked.
“The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is quite a distance from Radiant Sky City, located in the North Domain of the Great Blue Star Domain,” Aarav Lyons replied.
“It would take about twenty days one way by starship from Radiant Sky City.”
“That far?” Everyone was surprised.
“Yes,” Aarav Lyons nodded and smiled. “The Great Blue Star Domain is a bit bigger than you might think.”
“Is there a teleportation channel?” Azure Dragon asked.
“There is a channel from Radiant Sky City to Northern Abyss City in the North Domain, but from Northern Abyss City, you still need to take a starship,” Aarav Lyons replied again.
“What kind of place is Northern Abyss City?” Azure Dragon inquired further.
“Northern Abyss City is the core city of the North Domain and the location of the Northern Domain King’s City Lord’s Mansion,” Aarav Lyons responded.
“Got it!” Azure Dragon nodded.
“Master Aarav, do you know how to get to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?” Casey continued to ask.
“Yes!” Aarav Lyons nodded. “Twenty years ago, I went there once with my father.”
“At that time, we wanted to ask Old Alfie about something, but we were turned away without even seeing him.”
“Boss, should we go there?” Casey looked at Billy.
“Master Aarav, could you guide us?” Billy asked after some thought.
For him, since there was someone who might know about the City of the Dead, it was worth trying.
If he could find out what those two sects were after in the City of the Dead, it would help him make decisions in the future.
From what the old man said earlier, it was clear that the two sects’ strength was likely above that of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, so he needed to prepare in advance.
“Sure!” Aarav Lyons nodded. “But I can’t guarantee we’ll see Old Alfie.”
“No problem, just take us to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion,” Billy replied.
“Alright!” Aarav Lyons nodded.
“Thank you!” Billy responded. “We’ll depart in three days!”
“Okay!” Aarav Lyons nodded again.
Three days passed quickly.
Early in the morning, everyone rented a starship in Radiant Sky City and headed towards the North Domain.
Although there was a teleportation channel from Radiant Sky City to Northern Abyss City, they would still need a starship afterward.
Considering that Northern Abyss City was under the Northern Domain King’s control and to avoid complications, they decided to take a starship directly.
To their amazement, the starships in Radiant Sky City were much faster than those they had taken in the Akabuchi Star Domain, at least three or four times faster.
This was the difference brought by different levels of civilization!
The level of a star domain mainly represented its spatial size.
However, the level of civilization determined how well humans could utilize cosmic resources. The higher the civilization level of a planet, the more advanced it was, and naturally, its martial arts ceiling was higher too.
The City Lord’s Mansions of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Great Blue Star Domain were all level-four civilizations, one level higher than Akabuchi City, excelling in all aspects.
The star where the Great Blue City’s Domain Lord’s Mansion was located was even a level-five civilization, so its Heaven Dao Realm experts were significantly stronger than those on other planets.
During their journey, they finally understood what Aarav Lyons had said before.
In terms of star domain size alone, Akabuchi Star Domain was insignificant compared to the Great Blue Star Domain.
Despite traveling on such a fast starship, it took them more than half a month to reach the planet where the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was located.
Moreover, they encountered a cosmic storm along the way. Although it wasn’t very large, it was still dangerous.
If not for their sturdy starship and their combined efforts to resist it, they would have been torn apart along with the ship.
This was why martial artists below a certain level didn’t dare to fly through unknown regions of space.
They knew that if they had encountered this storm while flying on their own, they wouldn’t have survived.
In the vast star domain, two super killers-black holes and cosmic storms-were terrifying!
Although cosmic storms were slightly less destructive than black holes, they were more dangerous in some ways.
Unlike black holes that could be detected, cosmic storms were unpredictable and difficult to detect. They moved like tornadoes and could appear out of nowhere.
In front of these two super killers, ordinary martial artists had no choice but to be cautious. It was wise to maintain a sense of awe for the unknown universe!
“Master Aarav, are you sure this is where the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is located?”
After disembarking from the starship, Bob asked with some confusion.
Not only him but everyone else, including Billy, had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Before them lay towering mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye could see, surrounded by dense forests of giant trees.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“No mistake!” Aarav Lyons shook his head and pointed ahead. “The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is in that direction, not far from here.”
“Because the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion prohibits starships from flying within a thousand miles of its location, we have to travel on foot from here.”
From his words, it seemed that they were at least a thousand miles away from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Was that considered not far?
“Lead the way!” Billy nodded slightly and said.
Then, under Aarav Lyons’ guidance, they flew towards their destination.
Fortunately, with their current cultivation levels, their flying speed was incomparable to before. A thousand-mile journey took only a quarter of an hour.
Along the way, they occasionally encountered attacks from flying beasts.
But compared to the flying beasts they had faced in Another World last time, these were nothing more than minor nuisances and only served to provide beast cores.
Finally, they landed on a vast plain.
Looking ahead, they saw a hundred-meter-high archway about a kilometer away with three large characters inscribed: ‘Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.’
Behind the archway was a towering stone staircase with at least two or three thousand steps leading up to a sect compound.
“That’s the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!” Aarav Lyons pointed towards the top of the stone staircase and said.
“Alright!” Billy nodded. “Let’s go ask around!”
“Mr. Billy, people from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion are usually very arrogant. If we just go up like this, it might not work,” Aarav Lyons said as they walked.
“Arrogant? Great! We specialize in dealing with arrogant people!” Stout responded with a smirk.
Aarav Lyons’ mouth twitched slightly.
He then looked at Billy again. “Mr. Billy, before meeting Old Alfie, it’s best not to clash with people from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Otherwise, it will be difficult to see Old Alfie.”
“Were you in conflict with them last time?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Of course not; we were very polite…” Aarav Lyons replied.
“So did you see Old Alfie last time?” Azure Dragon pressed on.
Aarav Lyons was at a loss for words.
