Pesi dispersed the crowd. Besides Lan, he was the most reluctant person to see Himmel Soan leave. He only made his breakthrough because of Himmel Soan and transformed into a sword cultivator during the tribulation.
He didn’t even have time to show his gratitude properly. Apart from “thank you,” he couldn’t really think of anything else to say.
“I’m nowhere near the master’s level,” Pesi sighed to himself.
Although Himmel Soan didn’t accept him as a pupil, Pesi already considered him as his master or even more important than that.
Pesi also gave the empty room a bow. He then named this room the most important place in the branch. No hall or chamber was as important as the room Himmel Soan had lived in.
Gradually, on the mountain, life returned to normal. It was the same as when Himmel Soan hadn’t shown up. However, no one could forget about him now.
...
Cloud City.
Three days after they left the branch, Himmel Soan and Seene reached their destination. It was as big as a country.
Himmel Soan did some calculations and realized the entire population of Earth couldn’t fill half of the city.
There were over ten billion people on Earth, which showed how big the city was.
And that was just this city. There were many more people and cities in this world. So many more.
“Do you know the total population of Stelladom?” Himmel Soan asked.
......
Seene was confused by the question. Shouldn’t the young master know better than asking him? Or was it a test?
“Over 50 billion, but I don’t know the exact number. No one has collected such data. Some people would do anything to compete for resources. As a result, people are dying at any given time. Therefore, I can’t give you an exact number.”
Himmel Soan nodded.
If there were 50 billion people in Stelladom, what about the whole planet?
Unfortunately, the people here seemed to know this place as Stelladom only and didn’t know they were on a planet.
What would he find on the other side of the planet?
Himmel Soan was very curious. If he could recover a quarter of his power, he would figure out everything.
“Sir, Elixir School is right ahead.” Seene’s voice broke Himmel Soan’s train of thoughts.
He followed Seene’s finger and saw a giant waterfall. There were all kinds of flowers blooming around it, adding an ethereal beauty to it.
“Elixir School is located by this waterfall, the most beautiful place on the continent. No other place can compare to it!
“Sir, I presume you’ve never been here before.” Seene studied Himmel Soan’s face as he made the introduction.
Himmel Soan’s face betrayed nothing, but Seene immediately knew it was his first time here. There was no doubt about it.
“Yes, it’s a wonderful place,” Himmel Soan praised the scenery. He could see such sceneries in many places on Earth, but it was quite rare in Stelladom.
“Sir, please come with me. The principal’s residence is this way.” Seene gestured.
“Great!”
The principal of Elixir School was said to be as capable as the eight emperors, but no one knew what his actual cultivation level was. Nonetheless, he couldn’t be weaker than the eight emperors.
Once they entered the residence, Seene slowed down and went up to a room. He knocked on the door. “Principal, the young master is here!”
“Good. Please show him inside. We’ll talk when we meet.” The principal didn’t show up, but they all heard his voice. The entire residence could hear him.
“Who’s this young master? The principal is meeting him in person. Is it one of the emperors?”
“An emperor? Impossible. I’ve never seen an emperor here!”
“I saw Master Huor just then. He was with a young man and a girl. Could they be the guests?”
“That’s possible, but it’s a long stretch. Do you think they’re the principal’s son and daughter?”
The crowd went silent. That was, in fact, a possibility. Although it was very low, it seemed to be the only explanation. They all ran out to see what was happening.
By then, Himmel Soan, Firey, and Seene had arrived at a study. Inside, an elegant woman in a long white dress was looking at Himmel Soan.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Bandora Cien, the principal of Elixir School,” said Bandora.
“I didn’t expect to meet a female principal here.” Himmel Soan was surprised. He had pictured the principal as a stately elder man, but it turned out to be a woman.
Bandora only gave him a smile.
A moment later, she turned to Seene and waved at him. “Seene, you can leave us now.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Bandora smiled after Seene was gone. “It’s been a long time since I heard about the human-formed essence of nature. I can’t believe I’m meeting one today.
“If I didn’t see her with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it!”
Firey hid behind Himmel Soan.
“Ma’am, did you invite me here for the essence of nature?” asked Himmel Soan.
Bandora stopped the chit-chat when she noticed he wasn’t interested in small talk. She sighed and said, “I’ve had my eyes on Lan’s talent for years, and I’ve been trying to become her master. All she did was find excuses to avoid me.
“However, she became your pupil when she met you. I’ve been trying to figure out why I lost her to you and how you stole Lan away.
“Now that we’ve met, I finally understood Lan’s choice.
“I admit my defeat!”
