Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 124: Ch 124: Levels

Emrys no longer asked anything about Sunfire Heartseed, natives of this world, or the Saint Bones. He believed he would gradually know these things.

Mu Bailing still warned Emrys, "You have to stay very careful. Although we are only in Level 1 space, it is still infinitely dangerous. You also can’t trust the natives of this world completely. Some of them are even more dangerous than Beasts for us outsiders. For them, we are intruders who invaded this world to steal the resources that are supposed to be theirs."

"Also, you might end up crossing paths with other people along the way. If possible, make a team before finding the natives. The more people there are in a team, the safer it’ll be to continue the rest of the journey."

Emrys nodded his head, noting down Mu Bailing’s advice. Then he presented his curiosity, "Can you explain in detail about levels? If there is a Level 1 area, then there should be Level 2 areas and Level 3 areas as well. Where are those areas? Also, why is that petrified forest not recorded in the Level 1 area’s map?"

Mu Bailing widened her eyes in surprise. She looked at Emrys as if she was looking at a creature placed in a zoo, and muttered, "You truly are clueless about this world completely, huh! You don’t know a single thing about this world, so why did you even put your life at risk to enter?"

Emrys felt embarrassed. He smiled and spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I did not enter this world willingly, I was forcefully sent here by someone. Hehe!"

Mu Bailing’s eyes widened even more. She was truly surprised about the person sitting not far from her. This person was not only powerful, he also carried a bit of mysterious aura on his body. He can be dangerous and arrogant at moments as well, and now, he appeared a bit silly in her eyes.

Not knowing what to say, she shook her head heavily. A serious expression appeared in her eyes as she started to speak again, "I don’t know why you were sent here against your will, but now that you are here, you have to stay extremely careful. This world is far more dangerous than you can even imagine, and that is mainly true for a clueless person like you. If I have to, I would say that this world is at least ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than our worlds."

Emrys already knew this world was far more dangerous, but he was still taken by surprise when she told him that this world could be ten or even a hundred times more dangerous.

"This world is divided into several areas, not by us outsiders, but the natives of this world." Mu Bailing stopped for a moment before she started speaking again, "Level 1 is the least dangerous area. There is about a 50% probability of us outsiders surviving in Level 1 areas. As for Level 2, the probability of our survival in such areas drops sharply, reaching as low as 10% only. That is why, only people who successfully start cultivating in the Cosmic Cultivation System dares to go to those areas."

"As for the petrified forest, it is marked as Level 0."

"Level 0?" Emrys was again taken by surprise. He did not expect the petrified forest to be a Level 0 area. Doesn’t that mean it is the easiest-to-survive place?

Just when Emrys was thinking, his expectations were shattered by Mu Bailing who said, "Don’t think Level 0 areas are easy. Only unpredictable areas are marked as Level 0. In other words, you might easily survive by entering Level 0 areas if you are lucky enough, but if your luck is bad, you will die instantly there. Even powerful cultivators who successfully started cultivating in the Cosmic Cultivation System have more than a 90% probability of dying in Level 0 areas, let alone us who are from reaching their level of strength. This is also the reason why every Level 0 areas are called Forbidden Grounds in this world. In these forbidden grounds, opportunities and dangers co-exist, however, death is the only gift the majority of people obtain by entering these forbidden grounds."

Now this was surprising.

Emrys never expected Level 0 areas to be called Forbidden Areas. Now that he thinks about it he truly is very lucky to be able to come out of petrified forest alive, and easily at that.

Once again, he recalled the unknown entity, who did not appear in front of him, but just the sense of that existence’s presence made him shudder.

Yes, he was very lucky indeed!

"You were actually sending me to a Forbidden Land?" Emrys raised his eyes as he thought about the Sacred Lifeblood Stone that Mu Bailing wanted him to bring for her.

Mu Bailing turned her head, but Emrys could still see an embarrassed smile on her old face. She was once a beauty but now ended up like this because of him.

"Don’t look at me like that. Didn’t I stop you from going there? Also, I had no idea at that time that you were completely clueless about this world."

Sigh!

Emrys exhaled and did not say anything.

He finally asked what he was curious about the most, "Mu Bailing, I am really curious as to why you put your life in danger just to save me. As far as I can recall, I have never done anything that can make you willingly risk yourself for me. Most importantly, we are not even friends. If I have to say, I would say that we are at most familiar with each other, that’s all. Why did you take such great risks to save me?"

"That..."

Mu Bailing was stunned at first, not expecting Emrys to ask this. But she did not think much. She just took out a disk and presented it in front of Emrys, saying, "It is because of this thing. I obtained this unknown disk accidentally back in my world."

Emrys frowned. This was the first time he had seen this disk. What does she mean when she says she risked her life to save him because of this disk?

With curiosity, he took the disk from Mu Bailing.

However, to his surprise, the instant he touched the disk, his Soul Mark, the Walker of the Blue Sky, vibrated crazily. Not only this, Emrys sensed the Void Phoenix letting out a sky-shaking screech inside the Blue Orb that is floating at the center of his Soul River.
