"Sigh! What bad luck!" Shi Tian sighed. He thought he was the most unfortunate one, but after reading the memories of this world's Shi Tian, he felt his own luck was worse.
The teleportation device teleported them a hundred thousand miles away from the Shi Clan. Fortunately, the direction of the teleportation could be controlled, so they didn't teleport in a random direction. Otherwise, they could have ended up in some dangerous location.
Even after his mother decided to move further to escape the enemy's reach, after traveling another fifty thousand miles, she finally stopped and decided to hide here for a while.
They are currently living in a small place called the Red Cloud Kingdom. Although the Red Cloud Kingdom was very big, it was small compared to the Shi Clan.
After reading the memories of this boy, Shi Tian gained a vast amount of knowledge. Fortunately, this body's owner liked to read from childhood.
This world was called the Profound Spirit World. It was divided into five continents: Eastern Continent, Western Continent, Southern Continent, Northern Continent, and the Central, or Holy, Continent.
Each continent was separated by a vast ocean, making each continent a big island. To cross the continent, one had to cross the vast ocean.
But it was not easy. The vast sea was filled with strong demonic beasts, making it a forbidden place to cross. Only if one reached the Spirit Emperor realm could they dare to cross the sea.
Some legends say that there is another world beyond the infinite sea, much more prosperous than the Profound Spirit World, but nobody is able to confirm it. Shi Tian didn't dwell on this topic much.
Forget about other continents—the Eastern Continent alone was bigger than the Earth from his previous life. The Eastern Continent itself was divided into many regions.
Let's talk about the cultivation of this world. This world was filled with the energy of Heaven and Earth, called Spirit Qi. Human cultivators use this Spirit Qi to make themselves strong by absorbing it.
The cultivation of this world was divided into nine ranks: Body Forging Realm, Spirit Gathering Realm, Spirit Master, Spirit Grand Master, Spirit Lord, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sovereign, and Spirit Saint. Each cultivation stage was further divided into nine sublevels.
Shi Tian's father was a second-layer Spirit Emperor as well as the second-strongest person of the Shi Clan after the Shi Clan's ancestor, who was a third-layer Spirit Emperor. Although the Shi Clan was a Tier-Five clan, it was graded as a low-grade Tier-Five clan.
The forces of this world are divided into seven tiers, from Tier One to Tier Seven, with Tier One being the lowest. This made it easier to differentiate the power of forces.
The level of a clan was decided by the power of the cultivators in the clan. Clans who do not have a cultivator at least at the Spirit Master level were called mortal clans. Only by having a Spirit Master could they claim to join the ranking list as a Tier One Clan. Having at least a Spirit Grand Master stage cultivator in the clan would make them a Tier Two clan. A clan with at least a Spirit Lord stage cultivator would qualify as a Tier Three, and so on for higher tiers. A Tier Five clan meant there was at least a Spirit Emperor stage cultivator in the clan.
Speaking of which, the highest level of force in the Eastern Continent was Tier Five.
According to records, the Spirit Qi of the Eastern Continent is not strong enough to produce high-level cultivators. The highest cultivation in the Eastern Continent was limited to the Spirit Emperor, and the same was true for the other three continents: Northern, Southern, and Western. The only Central Continent had powerful enough Spirit Qi to give birth to powerful cultivators, which is why it was also a holy land.
Just like the Eastern Continent, the other three continents also didn't have forces higher than Tier Five. There were some exceptions who crossed Tier Five, but they mostly became pseudo-Tier Six powers.
The Spirit Qi not only affected humans, but the entire world. Like humans, monsters can also enhance their strength by absorbing Spirit Qi, but these monsters were called Demonic Beasts. The Demonic Beasts were also divided into nine grades (from Rank 1 to Rank 9) that correspond to the human realms.
[Rank 1 demonic beast = Body Forging Realm, and Rank 9 demonic beast = Spirit Saint.]
Not only humans and monsters, but the Spirit Qi also affected all the things of the world, even inanimate objects. Some ordinary trees turned into demon trees, ordinary grass turned into spiritual herbs, and some ordinary stones turned into spiritual ores. This gave birth to secondary professions in the world.
Other than cultivating martial arts, there were also secondary professions: Alchemy, artifact refining, array master, beastmaster, and spiritual chef.
All of these people who could master any one of the secondary professions were very popular in this world, especially alchemists, artifact refiners, and array masters. These three professions were the most popular and respected because of their miraculous work.
The alchemy of this world was similar to medicine-making from Earth but more advanced and supernatural. An alchemist could refine pills from spiritual herbs that were used by almost every martial artist. Pills that could rapidly upgrade cultivation, or pills that could heal any injuries, and some high-level pills could even heal broken limbs or cause new limbs to regrow.
The artifact refining was similar to being a weaponsmith but, like alchemy, more advanced and supernatural. An artifact refiner could refine all types of spiritual weapons, shields, and armors which were needed by every martial artist. The spiritual weapons were different from normal weapons. They were made with spiritual ores and could enhance the attacking power of a martial artist. Not only weapons, but the artifact refiners could also refine many strange types of artifacts, like storage bags, storage rings, and flying boats.
The array masters were a little more special. They could make a formation that could be used for trapping, attacking, or defending. For example, trapping a thousand people in a single formation or defending an entire city with a single grand formation.
The beastmasters could control demonic beasts by taming them. They could create their own army of demonic beasts, but beastmasters were rather rare in this world.
The spiritual chefs were also similar to chefs, but they could make spiritual dishes using the meat of demonic beasts and spiritual herbs. Not only did the spiritual dishes taste many times more delicious than ordinary dishes, but they also had the same effect as medicinal pills, though a little lower compared to the pills.
This was because the spiritual chefs could preserve the essence of the demonic beast's meat and spiritual herbs.
All the secondary professional masters were also divided into nine ranks, from Rank one to Rank nine. The same was true for pills, herbs, artifacts, and ores.
