Millennium Tension

Chapter 45: Information Gathering

One of the nano reconnaissance units controlled by Aizen stopped by a tavern that was filled by many people from the lower middle class. Aizen assumed that people who gathered would rather gossip and leak some information.

"I can't wait for tomorrow morning, I hope my luck is good and find a Heaven Grade treasure." Said a man in white clothes who had just come to the city.

"Hahaha... Brother, don't dream in broad daylight like this! With your cultivation level being in the Refining Spirit Realm, disaster will only befall you with such a treasure." Reply a shabby man with rude laughter who suddenly took part in another group conversation on the tavern.

"Haha... That fellow Daoist is right. You might not come back alive from the hidden realm if you find that treasure."

"Yes, why find a treasure like that if we can't keep it. I hope I find an unexpected encounter."

"Just wait. If I was that lucky, I wouldn't share with you guys." Hearing his sect's mate actually mocked, he could only swear in his heart, what's wrong with imagining and dreaming, right?

"Hey, you look confident, may you tell us some suggestions? I am Qiu Jing, this is Chang Yuhan, and the one who likes daydreaming is Lang Jia. We are from the Graceful Blade sect." Said the man who laughed earlier to the man in shabby clothes.

"Since you guys are so polite, I'll give you a few suggestions if you pay my bill." The shabby man dressed smiling on his mediocre face. He was the same person Aizen had met at the city entrance gate.

"Paying for information, alright, my Qiu Jing will bear your expenses."

"That's good, I'm Feng Wuhan." Feng Wuhan sat at the table of the group of three who was right next to him after Qiu Jing promised to pay his bill.

"Alright Brother Feng, what advice and information do you have?" Chang Yuhan began to ask, the three of them came as messengers from their sect and did not know much about the hidden realm.

"First you need to know that after the agreement of the upper classes regarding age above 25 years is forbidden to participate at the beginning of the emergence of the hidden realm, everyone who comes at this time is a vanguard team consisting of the most talented young generation from their respective places to explore information and hunt for treasures in this part of the realm, and also as a place to show off the strength of the young generation from each of their places."

Feng Wuhan whispered softly as if he was keeping a secret and looked right, left, and behind as if he didn't want anyone to eavesdrop even though they were in a crowded place.

"Next, the treasure found can be kept by the team sent with their records reporting the results of their exploration to their place of origin..."

Feng Wuhan went on to share some general information, most of which they already knew. However, Three people who came from Graceful Blade still listened until the speaker finished with his narration.

"I am a rogue cultivator but this is not the first time for me to try my luck in a hidden realm. One last suggestion from me, your team only has the Golden Spirit Realm as the strongest. You should not explore too deeply because the deeper you enter the higher the risk." Feng Wuhan said as if he was a wise man full of insight.

"Well, thank you for your information, Brother Feng. I didn't expect a team like us to be just a vanguard team, and if the hidden realm in question is really promising, even the top elders will participate." Lang Jia thanked him with a hint of amazement.

"It's nothing. Then I'll excuse myself. Thank you for paying my bill too." Feng Wuhan seemed to not want to linger in the tavern and immediately left who seemed to be running away before even waiting for a reply from the three people.

"Alright my brothers. We better start getting ready for tomorrow morning. Miss, please bill us and the man who was talking to us." Qiu Jing as the oldest brother in the team and the strongest of the three of them asked for their bill before going to prepare.

"This is your bill, sir. And this is the bill of the man who was with you." A big woman gives the bill in question.

"Um. 3 low tier spirit coin. What!? That guy spent 40 low tier spirit coins!? With his small body and shabby clothes, what did he order!?" Qiu Jing was shocked after seeing Feng Wuhan's bill. No wonder he seemed to want to run away immediately.

"Sir, he ordered a lot of dishes. You will pay, right?" Women with large bodies that seem threatening, she has the power of Refining Spirit Realm even though she is only as a food stall.

Qiu Jing getting cold stares from the guests who were in the tavern, ordering and not being able to pay was a shame for cultivators.

"Of course I'll pay, this is 43 low tier spirit coins. Brothers, let's go." Qiu Jing did not want to embarrass himself and immediately paid with a heavy heart. They only brought 120 low tier spirit coins as severance pay on the trip this time, spending at the beginning that was almost half of their severance pay was painful.

The three of them went from the tavern to the inn they had ordered by swearing and cursing Feng Wuhan.

The reconnaissance unit that floated for a while on the anonymous tavern immediately went to another place.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel carried out a manual and comprehensive excavation of information secretly for two hours and ended it until dusk arrived, they could not use their system to dig up information like on Mars for some reason.

Axel had previously been caught red-handed scanning a city from a distance and detected by an old monster who was at [Rank 8]. Even after that she just ran away to [Axel Goddess] and didn't care about the old monster's rage.

After that, she didn't scan the place for information gathering like that anymore but did a manual method that had been disguised like this.

Currently, they are processing the information that has been obtained from extracting information after 8 reconnaissance units are stored back into [Axel Goddess] in [Soul Realm].

The hidden realm is used as a training ground and a place to show off their young generation from each place. In the realm in question could be a place of trial, a place of treasure, a place of inheritance, and so on.

The young generation who are the most talented people under 25 years of age at their respective places can try their luck there, although many rogue cultivators come to participate.

They can have all their own findings and decide to own them or donate them to their respective places. But with a note, in the said realm, the more they go inside, the higher the risk of death.

The hidden realm does not always appear at any time and anywhere, in fact, this is very rare and highly sought after by many people.

Considering the tragedy of the past, so after the young generation returned from their exploration and gave reports to each of their places about the contents of the hidden realm, depending on the circumstances and the agreement of the leaders of the great places, everyone will be allowed to also explore deeper places in the hidden realm.

"Hey, Axel. The one who caused the tragedy in question is not you, right?" Aizen asks after checking various information.

"That's not me, Master Aizen. Don't think of me that way... Those rules have been around since I haven't come to Zavier." Axel said helplessly with a pitiful face as if she was an innocent girl who was accused arbitrarily.

"Err... My Axel is a good girl. Don't put a pitiful face like that..." Aizen tries to comfort Axel while stroking her long hair gently, that way it succeeded in making Axel return to her normal self.

In the past, she once caused a tragedy from the outcome of her battle against a [Rank 8] monster. A city, and all its inhabitants destroyed by the monster. Although it was the act of the monster that blindly attacked and destroyed the city, Axel also felt a little guilty for that even though she actually didn't care about the fate of the others.

Axel did not even feel ashamed of the data about her getting the nickname of the Goddess of Light and her seven companions who were always beside her as seven fairies.

The nickname was given by high-ranking officials from the various sect, clan, and empire because of her mysterious and blatant abilities with frightening light. Because of this, Axel was highly respected by them as a goddess.

Her existence is in harmony with stories circulating about the Goddess of Light and her seven fairies.
