Is that a Wisp?

"What…is this?"

"Is this real?"

"Impossible!"

"No way is that real?"

Everyone stammered upon seeing the scene, standing rooted to their spots in shock from the sheer scale of the thing that laid before them.

After traveling for more than four hours, they arrived at the end of the forest, exiting it to see a vast plain before them. Beyond that, spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the plains, was a mountain.

Surprisingly, this mountain was huge. Then again, huge was an understatement. The ends of the mountain base couldn't be seen as it stretched endlessly. As for the height, it also stretched endlessly, forming what looked like an impossible-to-scale wall in their eyes.

It made them seem tiny, insignificant even before the vastness of heaven and earth.

With trembling fingers, Feifei double tapped her glabella, summoning her tablet to see the words that appeared on the screen.

[Layer 1: An Immortal's Peak]

"An Immortal's Peak…" Feifei muttered the name, looking at the seemingly infinite landmass protruding from the ground far away, taking in its grandeur. "The one that designed this layer is a goddamn genius."

"He definitely knows what's cool." Zamura nodded, sighing as he took in the sights, amazed at the peerless mountain that he set eyes on for the first time in his life. "I won't become bored of seeing it no matter how many centuries pass by."

The group then began to walk towards the mountain, deciding to reach it first. Krune summoned his Cloud Whale, wrapping it around everyone as it took to the air and began to slowly move forward, slowly accelerating as time passed.

Once it attained a certain speed, Krune caused it to glide through the air, thereby not expending any energy. The speed also allowed them to take in the sights from the high altitude.

Stretching before them was a vast plain before the terrain turned rocky. Eventually, the rocky terrain turned sandy as a gigantic river akin to a sea spanned past. Once they reached that point, they noticed some boats on the river, capturing fish to be transported towards their respective settlements.

The Cloud Whale had already turned invisible by now, allowing them to move past without being spotted. Eventually, they spotted a town of sorts that seemed the least developed out of all.

The Cloud Whale landed at a discrete location before vanishing. As everyone landed on the ground, Feifei looked at everyone and warned them, "We don't know for sure if we'll garner attention due to our appearances. So, Zamuria and I would visit the town first and then gather information. Once enough information has been gathered, we'll begin our journey to leave this Sub-Realm."

Upon seeing everyone nod without any complaints, Feifei gently let go of her hold over Krune, watching him hover in the air, whispering, "Be safe, alright? Don't get into any trouble."

"With so many Black Demons to protect me, I would rather be glad if someone dares provoke us." Krune laughed, dancing in the air a little as he said, "Go on, don't worry about us."

"Alright." Patting him once, Feifei turned around, accompanying Zamuria as she walked towards the town, soon disappearing from their sights.

"Well, what shall we do now? Just waiting is boring." Zamura asked, looking around at the Black Demons as he thought of an idea. "Shall we play a game?"

"What game?"

"Well…" Zamura laughed with an expression of interest, beckoning for the Seamstress' help as he whispered the plan to her, causing her to nod in response, interested with the plan.

…

"This…is the town?" Feifei frowned, looking at the dilapidated town that had less than a hundred houses. The people at the place didn't seem all that friendly, shooting glares at the duo that had entered their place.

Just based on the looks they received, Feifei realized that this place wasn't friendly to visitors. Moreover, since the other party wasn't well off, they had been eyeing the bags the two carried from the beginning.

Their gazes were probing the two old ladies of their strength, checking whether their goods could be stolen or not. Feifei and Zamuria looked like women in their early sixties, having gained in age but still maintained a fit body.

So, they were looking to see if the two old women were easy targets to steal from or not.

"Idiots, the lot of them are blinded idiots." Suddenly, a grumbled voice resounded from one of the houses they had just passed by.

When they turned around to look, they noticed a middle-aged woman opening the entrance to her house as she arrived out, gazing at Feifei and Zamuria as she asked then, "Are you travelers?"

"Indeed, we are." Feifei nodded, ensuring to ask like she knew what she was up to. This was to never give off the impression that she was clueless about a lot of things.

"You can stay at my house. It will cost one Spirit Stone per day. Meals are included." The middle-aged lady told them. "There aren't many that are friendly towards travelers from outside."

"What happened here?" Feifei asked upon entering the house and taking a seat.

"Actually, it went like this." The middle-aged lady sighed, offering tea to Feifei and Zamuria as she explained, "A decade ago, this had been a bustling town where many mortals frequented about to harvest resources from the Captchua Forest. Our business primarily involved accommodating the travelers, providing them food and a place to stay. We'll also provide them information related to their exploration as we receive information from many people."

"Thanks to this, our town had turned into a hub for people to rest and gather information. But, everything changed 10 years ago when a certain group of people arrived," She sighed with a forlorn expression as she continued. "They were cultivators. All of them were only at the First Stage of Qi Condensation, but they were quite strong. Moreover, they were a friendly bunch."

"They frequently visited the Captchua Forest to hunt for resources and sold them at the city. Thanks to either their luck or skill, they always obtained the best of resources. Soon after, they became close with everyone." The middle-aged lady controlled herself from shedding tears as she dropped a bomb on them.. "Unfortunately, that was when disaster befell our town, reducing it to its current state."
