Chapter 59

Seemingly sensing Elder Yun's gaze, Jiang Han turned his head, grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

Elder Yun: "……"

"Master, look at Yan Yumo's master, they even gave her a divine-level dagger. Shouldn't you also show some indication?" Jiang Han's eyes twinkled as he chuckled.

Elder Yun was taken aback, then looked at Jiang Han with a mix of amusement and exasperation, saying, "We'll talk about it after you become my direct disciple."

"It's a deal! I want something no less than the Kiss of Darkness!" Jiang Han's eyes lit up as he said.

"Dream on!" Elder Yun rolled his eyes, "Do you think weapons like the Kiss of Darkness are everywhere? They're not cabbages! It's one of the ten great divine weapons of Central Province!"

Jiang Han's heart stirred. He had heard Elder Yun mention Central Province many times but never understood what it was.

"Elder Yun, where exactly is Central Province?"

"Where is it?" Elder Yun looked at Jiang Han as if he were an idiot, "You're standing on it, where else would it be?!"

"Uh." Jiang Han was stunned, then frowned, "Then why do you always emphasize Central Province? Can't you just say Heavenly Martial Continent?"

Elder Yun frowned, looked at Jiang Han a few times, and seeing that he wasn't faking, became puzzled, "Don't you know that Central Province is just a part of the Heavenly Martial Continent?"

"Huh?" Jiang Han was stunned, feeling confused. Before meeting Elder Yun, he had never heard of Central Province, and when Elder Yun mentioned it, he thought it was just a mysterious region.

"It seems you really don't know." Elder Yun looked at Jiang Han strangely, "Doesn't your master ever teach you about the continent?"

"No." Jiang Han shook his head honestly.

Elder Yun rubbed his forehead, truly speechless. He wondered what kind of master Jiang Han had, who didn't even teach him basic knowledge.

"Never mind, since there's nothing else to do, I'll tell you about the continent!"

Elder Yun took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, then said, "In fact, the Heavenly Martial Continent is divided into five provinces, and Central Province is the largest and most prosperous, and it's the province we humans occupy!"

"Humans?" Jiang Han picked up on the meaning in Elder Yun's words and was startled, "On this continent, besides humans and beast races, are there other races?"

"Of course!" Elder Yun nodded, his brows furrowing, and he said seriously, "Besides Central Province, the other four provinces each have their own names and are occupied by different races... they are the Eastern Death Clan, Southern Barbarian Clan, Western Shaman Clan, and Northern Spirit Clan!"

"The Eastern Death Clan is the most mysterious race, also known as the Undying Clan. As the name suggests, they are all spirits formed from the deaths of various races. They come in different forms; some are just skeletons, some have bodies but are stiff and unresponsive, and some are just spirits, like human souls.

"However, this race rarely interacts with other provinces and isn't very welcoming to outsiders. The most unique thing is that their weaker members have only instinctual awareness, no thoughts, and are completely ruled by the more powerful ones!"

"The Southern Barbarian Clan is a very warlike race. Their members are incredibly strong, capable of shattering rocks even as children. However, they are mostly straightforward, and because they revere strength, they only befriend those who are powerful... in their eyes, humans are quite cunning, so they generally don't welcome humans."

"The Western Shaman Clan is the most bizarre. They all wear full-body robes, and no one can see their faces; only their eyes glow, making them very mysterious. Moreover, they leave no trace of their bodies after death, only the empty robes prove they existed!"

"The Shaman Clan excels in soul cultivation, so if you ever meet them, be cautious!"

"And the Northern Spirit Clan... they are also known as the Beastman Clan. It is said that they are the offspring of human and beast race strong individuals in ancient times. This theory is likely true because the Spirit Clan has features of the beast race. They are also skilled at communicating with beasts, so almost every Spirit Clan member has a beast companion! They are extremely powerful!"

"Combined with the human race of Central Province, they are known as the five major races!... Of course, the beast race is also a powerful clan, but they are generally categorized under the Spirit Clan because the most beast race members are in the North, followed by Central Province, then the Barbarian and Shaman Clans, and the Death Clan... there are only dead beasts there."

Listening to Elder Yun's detailed explanation, Jiang Han was amazed. He never expected the Heavenly Martial Continent to be so complex, thinking it only had humans and beast races!

At this moment, he suddenly realized that this was not Earth. He had subconsciously treated the beast race as animals from Earth and humans as humans.

But this is the Heavenly Martial Continent! A completely unknown place where anything can happen!

His mindset still hadn't fully shifted! Jiang Han took a deep breath.

"Central Province is ruled by three empires, and below them are various sects. Generally, all the stronger sects have imperial warriors within them, and their positions are usually high, mostly as elders."

"Is our Supreme Heaven also like that?" Jiang Han interjected.

"Indeed!" Elder Yun nodded, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Imperial-grade sects are the ones the empire is most wary of because they are too powerful. Moreover... some talented descendants of the empire are recommended to join the sects."

"Will the sects definitely accept them?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow.

"Not necessarily!" Elder Yun shook his head and snorted, "Many officials use their connections to get their descendants into the sects. But the sects don't always accept them unless they pass the tests. Otherwise, if scum like Wu Chi could enter our Supreme Heaven, the name of an imperial-grade sect would be ruined!"

"That's what makes an imperial-grade sect!" Jiang Han nodded in agreement, chuckling, "Only a genius like me can enter! Haha!"

"You'll stop calling yourself a genius once you're in the sect." Elder Yun glanced at him coolly.

Jiang Han shrugged, "We'll see."

Indeed, after Elder Yun's explanation, he realized how extraordinary the geniuses in imperial-grade sects were, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Once he had enough funds, Jiang Han would exchange for some truly powerful items; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive in the imperial-grade sect!

Especially once his plan was complete, even if he couldn't exchange for legendary items, a few epic ones should be possible!

"Then everyone will know what true power is!" Jiang Han thought to himself.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Yan Yumo approaching him and Elder Yun with something in her hands. He looked up and immediately smiled when he saw it was a plate of fried chicken legs.

"Wow? Fried chicken legs! Rain Ink, you're so considerate! You know I love fried chicken legs..."

As he spoke, Jiang Han reached out with a grin, extending his hand toward the plate.
