After reading the paper nick looks over at Jakob who is obviously on cloud nine and ask "what is primal lotus academy?" Jakobs face instantly goes from joy to confusion to shock. "What do you mean what is it how do you not know!" Jakob practically yells. Nick scratched his head embarrassed "I was born on one of the small islands where the culture is a little backwards." Nick says sheepishly. Jakob sighs dejected "where to begin? I'm sure you are familiar with sects right?" Nick nods in agreement. "Let's start there sects are basically comprised of individuals who have talent but either don't have a background in it or don't want to rely on said background as well as the several families that tend to dominate the sect, well unlike sects if you join an academy you get most of the benefits of a sect without the need to be bound to it in service as well unlike sects you are very unlikely to discriminated against due to a lack of background or profound background in any of the founding family clans as most academies exist solely on a single founder or occasionally a group of like minded individuals such as in the case of primal lotus academy. There are three levels of academies the earth tier ,the sky tier and the celestial tier. The difference between each tier is based on the level of knowledge that can be gotten for earth tier it is void chasing ,for sky it is void completion, and for celestial it is information beyond mortal tribulation. There are 32 earth tier academies ,and 5 sky tier academies." Jakob explains carefully. Nick noticed that jakob didn't mention how many celestial academies there are and so asked. "There are currently no celestial academies as no one has passed the mortal tribulation realm and shared the information they got when they did since they all seemed to vanish afterwards."jakob answered honestly. Nick was surprised at this revelation before he called the system.'system do you know anything about those disappearances?'

*DING*

*Host is warned that they are not strong enough to withstand that knowledge ,proceed anyways?*

Nick grows worried as the system tells him that the knowledge is extremely dangerous.'no i won't risk it if even you say I can't handle it .' nick looks at Jakob who is patiently waiting for him to process the information he just got "so what is primal lotus academy then?" He asked. A look of excitement comes onto his face "primal lotus academy is the highest sky tiered academy as it has managed to collect information at the half-step mortal tribulation level because it has four experts at that level who have been guarding and guiding it for close to a million years now." He says with reverence in his voice. Nick understands now how great and opportunity he just got out of nowhere . "so I'm guessing you are going to the capital in a month huh." Nick asked jakob sarcastically. Jakob looks at nick and grins "you're damn straight!".

After about 2 weeks nick and Jakob made their way out of the town with the plan to get to the next city where a teleportation array to the capital was set up which should take them a week to arrive at that city before teleporting to the capital meaning they would only need to wait a week to join the academy . the area on the way to the next city was a cobblestone road with plains that cross into a large forest before arriving at a lake where the city floated on top. "So you think we'll run into any bandits on our way?" Jakob asked nick nervously. Nick answered casually "we should only run into at most two groups before the rest figure out we aren't soft persimmons." Jakob shakes his head "you're to honest for my own good , I wanted you to reassure me not immediately shoot down my hopes!" He complained.
