"What kind of stories?"
Frandin continued.
"There's one Empire located on the other side of the world called Tuvaro. What I'm going to say might be true but might not be either. Elder Frun, one of my clan's elders, told me before about something he heard in his trip to the Capital."
"He talked about it as if it was a joke. To be honest, I also laughed a lot while listening since I believe it's just some stupid story or something like that. Anyway, each Empire usually has a few Celestial Lands. Our Palif has three of them, for example. Tuvaro, as another Empire, also has its own Celestial Lands. From what Elder Frun heard, one of these Celestial Lands accepts both humans and Zasfins."
Rean's group couldn't help but feel confused.
"Accept both of them? Do you mean not as slaves, but as real members?"
Frandin shook his head as he replied.
"I don't know. That's why I told you it seems like a joke. I doubt such a thing is possible. Then again, I've never left our Tasman Country, let alone our Empire. Perhaps things are not just black and white like they are here."
Malaka then noticed one point.
"If there are more Empires elsewhere, I guess it's safe to say that the Decadence Region isn't the only place where humans are sent to."
Frandin nodded.
"Indeed. There are a few other places where humans are sent to. After all, our world is just too big. It would be impractical to move every human to a single location. I only know where the Decadence Region is located, though. I've never cared about the other regions. You might find more about it in bigger cities."
Roan then went back to the main topic.

"Forget about these human dumpster regions. I want to know more about this Celestial Land you've talked about. You should have heard at least its name, right?"
Frandin nodded.
"It's called the Unity Celestial Land."
"Well, that would be a fitting name if they really allowed both races to be part of it. However, how come the Zasfin Race hasn't tried to stop them?"
"As I said, this is just a story Elder Frun heard in the Capital. I can't even tell you if this place even exists or not. Let alone tell you why it operates like this."
"That's true..."
It was a blind shot, but it didn't seem like Rean's group had a better choice to start with. Naturally, they could only bet their coins in this Tuvaro Empire's Celestial Land even though it is most likely a farce. That being said, Roan moved on to the next question.
"Which would be the easiest way to reach Tuvaro?"
Frandin pondered for a bit before saying.
"The easiest way is to take a flying demon beast there. I'm not sure how far it is, though. Usually, people would go to the Capital when they need to do such long-distance travels."
Malaka found it strange.
"Don't you have Teleport Formations?"
Rean and Qia immediately laughed.
"Hahaha! Forget it, Malaka. Even back on our planet, the best Teleport Formations couldn't send you more than a thousand or so kilometers away. People had to take many teleport formations one after another if they wanted to travel a long distance in a short time. Not to mention that only those capable of paying the necessary Spirit Stones would be able to do so."
"Rean's right. Besides, even if their Teleport Formations are at the same level as ours, we would still need to teleport from one city to another. It's too dangerous to travel like this due to our cultivation."

Frandin was shocked to hear that.
"Your teleport formations could go up to a thousand kilometers?!"
Rean nodded.
"However, those are very expensive and hard to make."
Frandin took a deep breath as he said.
"Even though that's the case, the best teleport formations we have are in the Capital, but they can only send you a few hundred kilometers away. Not to mention that only the high echelon is allowed to use it. I wish I could go to this world of yours."
Rean was not surprised by that. He could more or less see the difference in the level of formations between this planet and their old one. Of course, he hadn't seen the other cities and Empires' Formations, so the situation might not really be as Frandin had mentioned.
Roan narrowed his eyes before he asked.
"Would it be possible to use teleport formations to go to Tuvaro? I mean, are there enough links to make it possible?"
Frandin pondered for a bit before he shook his head.
"I don't think so. As I said, only the best teleport formations can send you up to a few hundred kilometers away. However, Tuvaro is much, much farther away than that. There's no way that any Empire would make so many of these super expensive formations to link each Empire up. Besides, it would be quite unsafe for many other reasons."
Roan sighed as he nodded. He already expected that much.
"Too bad, then."
Roan's plan was to keep everyone inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and have one Rean walk outside with Frandin. He could use Frandin and his own Spiritual Sense bending skill to go near and use the teleport formations. Although many risks were involved, they would also avoid other dangers when traveling by foot.
Rean's group then asked many more questions about this world to Frandin. Finally, it reached a point where they had nothing else to ask.
"Well, I guess this is everything."
Frandin felt a chill on his back as he looked at Roan.
"What are you going to do?"
*Pah!*
Roan slapped the back of Frandin's head before saying.
"What, do you think I'm going to kill you? Don't be ridiculous! You have a pure bloodline. I have many, many uses for you."
Rean shrugged his shoulders, already knowing that it would happen.
"Roan just wants to be friends with you, Frandin. Don't mind him too much."
Roan's mouth twitched after hearing that.
"Friends, your ass! Stop your bullshit, and let's head out."
Rean laughed before leaving the jail with everyone else.
