The Central Continent

" Alright , which student can tell me the name of our continent ? Hehe.. You bastards only know how to cultivate but know that knowledge is also equally important! " Zhang said with a smug face as he eyed all the first year students sitting in the huge classroom .

Naturally Raven was also one of them and he was sitting at the last row because the forward seats were all occupied by rich students and their lackeys . In his eyes, they were only playing little game of politics but he still played along and acted like he feared them . The nobles were satisfied with his attitude so they did not bully Raven as much as they bullied other students from common origin .

One student clearly stood out from the class . She was a beauty but had a haughty expression on her face thus Raven unlike others showed no interest in her . Her name was Sasha Vermillion and she was the youngest princess of Royal Family . The little girl was pampered from birth so she thought that the world revolved around her . Such people were truly trash in Raven's eyes .

" Our Vermillion Empire is located on Eastern Continent and is the largest empire too . We rule more than one third of the whole continent and several smaller kingdoms ! " Sasha answered in a loud voice as if she was filled with pride .

Raven was the only one who felt contempt for her as other students were awed by the reveal of such information. They had no idea that their empire was so mighty . These children of course were not interested in learning history so had no idea about this simple fact .

" Oh ? As expected of Miss Sasha , you have learnt a lot from Royal Instructors . So tell me about other continents of this world too . " Zhang was fair so he only casually commended Sasha which displeased her a little but she quickly started answering the question .

" There are many continents but those which are explored and conquered by humans are 3 in number . Eastern Continent , Northern Continent and Central Continent . "

" Yes , these 3 continents are conquered by human race but remember that there are many other races except humans in the world too . I will not explain about them today but know that we are constantly in war with some of these races for more than thousand years now . The Eastern Continent is in fact the smallest and most poor continent so not many powers care about it . The Central Continent is more than ten times larger than our continent and the energy concentration in the air is also much higher there . "

Zhang continued with his lesson for more two hours but Raven was not interested at all . Five months have passed since he joined the Academy as a student . He had practically learnt all the books containing information about history , beasts and treasures . The knowlege also made Raven's standards higher so he has not started cultivating yet .

The basic cultivation sutras provided by the Academy were trash quality . He had stumbled on an old book inside Headmaster Rick's personal library . Inside it , he found the information that Cultivation Sutras were divided into Normal , Human , Earth and Heaven in terms of quality. The basic techniques provided by academy were barely of Normal quality .

There were 6 big realms in cultivation in this world and each big realm had 9 small realms.

Qi condensation

Foundation Building

Core Condensation

Earth

Heaven

Void

Raven could only find Normal quality techniques in the Academy and they could only help him up to peak Foundation Building Realm . Raven had practically spent all his time except classes to roam the Eastern Continent because no one could restrict him when he is traveling inside the Mirror World .

The previously high and mighty Vermillion Royal Family was now trash in his eyes. Raven naturally would not leave their treasures alone so he went to steal them only to end up disappointed!

They only had Human quality Cultivation Technique called Golden Vermillion Technique. The name sounded mighty but Raven knew that it was only two or three times better than the Cultivaton Techniques provided by the Academy .

Once started cultivating, one could not return back . Raven wanted to cultivate using best of the best cultivation technique to have most solid foundation . Unlike these puny people , he had the knowledge. Raven knew that after Reaching peak of Void Realm , one will have to face Heavenly Tribulation. Only after passing this trial , one will be able to leave for higher worlds .

The books contained information about many ancient strong figures who died during facing the Heavenly Tribulation easily . They had to face such fate because they had superior strenght and even artifacts but their foundation was not solid enough . Raven planned to ascend to higher worlds and only cultivating using Heaven quality cultivation techniques , can he guarantee success.

This puny Eastern Continent was large but contained not even one Ancient Tomb or Small World . Here , such places were only legends . Raven knew that humans had too much heritage but it must be heavily guarded by powerful forces . In the Eastern Continent , the most powerful expert was the current Emperor of Vermillion Empire , Dulong ! But he was only a early stage Core Condensation Expert .

Raven had now decided to travel to Central Continent as soon as he can because only there can he find the best cultivation and fighting techniques . These 2 continents were too far apart in distance but there were some ways to travel there fast . The best way was to tame Flying Magical Beasts and ride them to cover distance of thousands of miles in just minutes .

If others heard Raven planned to tame a flying beast , they would spit at his face . It was known fact that flying beasts were too rare and even the most weaker ones were still comparable to Core Condensation Realm Experts in strength . Raven had not even stepped into Qi condensation realm and he wanted a flying magical beast ? It was just a joke .

But Raven was unique as he had knowlege. Naturally Raven was aware of the strenghth of these beasts but also knew that there were other ways to tame them too . Powerful beasts possess conscious and intelligence no different from humans . So one can just offer them benifits in exchange with some powerful treasures that the beast wants . Raven now wanted to travel to Storm Plains in the depths of the Mountain Range where it is rumored that a Black Eagle beast was sighted .
