Assassination System

Chapter 245 The Truth about the World

Dan stared speechlessly at Mathias and the latter merely smiled at his stunned expression. Sweeping his gaze at the three, Mathias invited them to his room where a table and chairs were present along with fragrant tea that incited not only their palate but also their cultivation bases.

"Sit down and have some tea, don't act so embarrassed and be at home..." Mathias gestured for the three and the two women that liked aromatic and fragrant teas revealed delighted expressions to Mathias's invitations. Displaying proper decorum and etiquette, the two sat down and silently sipped their teas.

Dan clasped his hands together and also displayed his manner. Taking his seat, in between his wives. He took his cup and sipped the fragrant tea. Upon entering his throat, and his stomach, it warmed not only his insides but also his meridians, cleansing toxins hidden within his body.

He even felt his cultivation base subconsciously rotating and absorbing the tea's medicine efficacy. Throwing all decorum and manners into the air. Dan downed the cup of tea with a huge mouthful as he exclaimed with satisfaction and excitement.

"Good tea! One more cup, please..." Dan slammed the teacup on the saucer and Mathias gladly served him another cup. His wives raised their eyebrows towards his brash actions.

The person in front of them wasn't just a random figure, but the Headmaster of the Paradyne Academy himself! Recognized as the strongest man in the entire Empire, yet how could Dan act so familiar and nonchalant?

"This is definitely some good tea that you have here, Sir Mathias... Can I please have another cup?" Dan boisterously laughed and asked for another cup of tea that Mathias silently complied. Not even sipping the tea, Dan gulped it down like drinking water and asked for another.

But before he could even coax Mathias for another cup. Sharp pain stung both his thighs as Natalie and Grace stared at him with vicious lights within their eyes.

They knew that the tea they were drinking costs an astronomical amount of Spirit Stones so they slowly drank and savored its delectable and distinct taste, yet Dan gulped them all like drinking water and kept asking for seconds as if he was the one paying for it.

Dan awkwardly scratched his head and beamed with a smile at Mathias's direction. His gaze wandered at the teapot and Mathias who noticed his furtive gaze sighed before saying.

"All the tea for today is my treat, don't hold back and drink everything that you can..." Mathias gestured for the three and the two women brightened with smiles. Dan's lips lifted into a sly smile and his eyes landed on the bottle filled with tea leaves.

"Sir Mathias, ah no- Headmaster... Didn't you say that I can take and drink everything that I can?"

Dan said in a respectful voice that perturbed his companions and the Headmaster himself. Just as the latter wondered about why Dan suddenly acted so respectful. The latter's hands flashed as fast as lightning and grabbed his tea bottle on the table. Before anyone could react, the bottle disappeared from his hands and entered his Storage Device.

"You..." Mathias figure slightly trembled from shock upon witnessing Dan's actions. The tea leaves weren't that precious if compared to other treasures that it had but it still was still extraordinarily expensive enough that his heart bled upon witnessing it disappear into Dan's Storage Device.

Natalie and Grace stared at Dan with astonishment and horror, acting so presumptuous in front of an expert that can easily disintegrate them into dust with a thought, was he seeking for his death? They thought in their heads.

"Well, I did say that I would treating all of you guys for today so just consider those tea leaves as my treat..." Mathias resigned with a sigh and Natalie and Grace stared with astonishment at his reaction. Nevertheless, since he didn't erupted into anger, they stopped pursuing the issue and proceeded to enjoy their tea.

After the group enjoyed the short intermission. It was finally time for them to settle their business as Mathias sat at the opposite direction to the three. With his arms crossed together, Mathias said in a solemn voice.

"Since the three of you have achieved the realm of the Divine Soul, you three have officially arrived at the starting point of cultivation for the path of Immortality. All the realms under the Divine Soul merely cultivated the Spirit, Body and the Flesh..."

The three nodded their heads, Mathias words were textbook to the three of them that read far too many books to count. Staring right into Mathias's eyes that sparkled with anticipation. They grew curious, just what is topic is he going to talk with us? They thought.

"Now that you have achieved the basic qualifications and are finally considered as entry-level cultivators, all three of you can officially participate with other Core Disciples for the exploration of the Mystic Realm of the Undead..." Mathias ended his sentence with a wide smile on his face.

"Mystic Realm of the Undead? That name alone sounds so ominous, Headmaster..." Grace couldn't help but comment as Natalie and Dan nodded their heads in agreement.

Mathias stared at them with sparkling eyes before continuing, "The Mystic Realm of the Undead as the name says is a huge independent space containing its own world, said to be constructed by a Divine Emperor Realm Expert..."

Even Mathias who witnessed countless scenarios in his life couldn't help but feel short of breath when he mentioned the supreme expert that created the Mystic Realm of Undead. Towards someone like him that stood at the peak of the Divine Ascendance Realm but never managed to take that single step towards the Realm of Emperors, the existence of such experts felt too surreal for him.

"A huge independent space that contains its own world?" Natalie exclaimed from shock and Dan along with Grace revealed the same expressions on their faces. The void that surrrounded and stabilized the world was known as the void and with enough cultivation, one could tear a hole on it and travel swiftly through Spatial Tunneling.

Once one reached the Realm of the Divine Ascendance, they could suppress the volatility of the void and create their own indendent space that could shelter a few cultivators and items that they wished to space. Though it sounded absurd, it definitely existed and was showcased by Mathias.

But creating your own world inside an independent space was something too surreal and bizzare for each and everyone of them. The realization that one could eventually do that if they worked hard enough made the three dreamy and set their hearts ablaze with ambition.

"Indeed, according to the researches done to the land and the space inside that Mystic Realm. It was supposedly created by a Divine Emperor Powerhouse or above several hundreds thousand of years ago..." Mathias replied while nodding his head and Dan who listened intently at his words couldn't suppress his shock.

"Wait, Headmaster... Did you just say Divine Emperor Powerhouse and above? Are you saying that there are realms above the Divine Emperor?" His words struck epiphany into Natalie and Grace's mind as the two of them also stared at Mathias in curiosity and shock.

Mathias locked his eyebrows and stared at them for a moment before slapping the back of his head in realization. Lightly laughing, he continued, "Damn, I actually forgot that the three of you still hasn't received the briefing that everyone at the Divine Soul Realm receives...."

Placing his elbows on the table, Mathias leaned and continued, "Then let me personally brief you about the other realms above the Divine Emperor. But first, let me ask the three of you. How much do you know about this world?"

The three who anticipated Mathias's personal teachings stiffened upon hearing what he said. Falling into deep contemplation, their mind madly spun and arranged information regarding the world that they lived in as their eyes widened in realization.

That's right...

Even after living for so many years.

Apart from the Empire of Dawn, the Empire of Eternal Faith and its surrounding areas. The three of them knew nothing about the world that they were in with the exception of some basic information that they gathered from reading books in the Academy's library.

Mathias who saw their frozen figures lightly smiled and continued.

"That's right, even with all the information that you have gathered, all of them were information that only includes the Continent of Dawn, right? Apart from knowing the Empire of Dawn, Empire of Eternal Faith, the Great Wilderness of Torb and the Desert Wilderness Bazaar, all three of you knew nothing about how truly huge this world is..."

Natalie, Grace and Dan nodded their heads as they clasped their hands together and said, "In that case, I hope that the Headmaster will enlighten our ignorant minds..." Their tone respectful and Mathias lightly chuckled upon witnessing their respectful displays.

"It's fine, it's fine, you bunch don't have to act so respectful. It's not like you wouldn't learn about this when you officially become Core Disciples... But since we're already at this point, I may as well just tell you..." Mathias even winked at Dan which sent shivers down the spine of the latter whose lips twitched along with his crooked smile.

"Okay, let's start..." Mathias cleared his throat and said.

"The planet where we are in called the Blue Crystal Star is composed of three Continents namely, the Continent of Dawn, the Crimson Continent and the Continent of the Divine, out of all three Continents, the Continent of Dawn possessed the lowest resources and as a result, average cultivators in the Continent of Dawn couldn't keep up with the cultivators at the other two continent and in the end, they were abandoned and treated as failures."

Mathias stopped and gave the three a breather to absorb the information into their mind before continuing.

"Since they were treated as failures they were exiled from the others and a Divine Emperor Powerhouse pushed the continent away from the two other continents. As a result, contact was lost and without the support of sufficient resources, the cultivators in the Continent of Dawn gradually declined to the extent that it was incredibly rare for someone to break through the shackles of the Divine and reach the Emperor of the World Status..."

"In reality, there are realms above the Realm of the Divine Emperor and they are called, the Divine Sovereign Realm, the Divine Void Realm and the Divine Universe Realm. Even at the other two continents, each and every practitioner were mostly stuck at the Divine Sovereign Realm while those luckier ones managed to break through the Divine Void Realm..."

"As far as I know, none had ever broke through the Realm of the Divine Universe. But legends say that breaking through that Realm meant achieving immortality and acquiring complete control over the cosmos..." Mathias ended his exposition and all three of them were left breathless from all the information that they just heard.

Within Dan's eyes sparkled a light of anticipation and excitement, though no one had ever broken through the realm of the Divine Universe, he had confidence that he could eventually achieve that Realm for as long as he didn't prematurely die. After all, he had the Assassination System with him, something that shouldn't technically exist.

"That's all that I have to say regarding the truths of the world. All that I said isn't enough to enlighten you of everything but it should suffice so that you won't keep being an ignorant to the matters of this world. After all, you three are already qualified from the time that you broke the shackles of mortality."

All three of them thanked Mathias from the bottom of their hearts.

Smiling in satisfaction, Mathias stretched his hand and proposed, "Would the two of you want to experience more of the world?"
