Chapter 156: Chapter 154: This World’s Rules Are Incomplete, and She Completed Them
Whatever.
’I can’t be bothered with her.’
’Ti to get to business.’
Inside the Bloodfiend Den’s treasury, Celeste Grant was directing her subordinates to sort and store the various treasures. The treasury was overflowing, with items piled up like mountains.
The contents of the treasury had been accumulated over hundreds of years. Everything was piled up haphazardly, making it difficult to find anything. Since she had so free ti anyway, she decided to lead the effort to categorize all the treasures.
This would make it easier to find things in the future.
"The Treasureforged Cauldron, the Nine Tripod Furnace, and other Alchemy Treasures go in Area 3. These Magic Artifacts, swords, and other powerful, top-grade Magic Treasures go in Area 2. Spirit Stones go in Area 9. Don’t mix them up. And these Demon Beast Inner Cores go in Area 5. Talisman Array Maps go in Area 4. Rember to separate the offensive ones from the defensive ones; don’t put them together..."
Following Celeste Grant’s arrangents, the treasury was now filled with countless shelves in each area, stretching so high you couldn’t see the top. The treasures were sorted and stored, so even labeled with numbers.
In the treasury, Nerida and the Bloodfiend Den disciples she led were working like an assembly line. The hands of the male and female cultivators were never idle. They used Magic to sort countless treasures mid-air before a dedicated person would send them to their designated spots.
"You’re all doing great. Keep it up."
"Yes, My Lady."
The Demon Cultivators, all clad in black, had Magic flaring in their hands. So urged their companions to move faster.
"Sisters, hurry up."
"Brothers over there, quick, quick."
Male and female voices filled the air.
Celeste Grant wasn’t idle either.
Looking at the piles on the floor, she waved her hand, and countless treasures flew before her to be sorted. Then, with another wave, the treasures flew to their designated areas and arranged themselves neatly on the shelves.
Celeste Grant was now draped in countless Magic Treasures, with countless rings on her fingers. She was the very picture of opulence.
’Sisters, is this what it feels like to be filthy rich?’
’This must be that ’counting money until your hands cramp’ feeling.’
The Bloodfiend Den’s treasury had been accumulating for hundreds of years; of course it was going to be substantial.
It took all of them several days of work to finally finish the inventory.
"From now on, anything brought into the treasury can’t just be thrown around randomly. Everything must be categorized so we can find what we need at a mont’s notice."
The Demon Cultivators replied, "Understood, My Lady."
Nerida stepped forward.
"You’ve worked hard, My Lady. Please leave the rest to ."
Seeing that things were mostly finished, Celeste Grant nodded slightly. "Alright. I’ll head out first. Rember to have the others go collect their rewards."
Nerida smiled and nodded.
"On behalf of the disciples, I thank you, My Lady."
"We’re all on the sa side. As long as you do your work well, I won’t mistreat any of you. There will be plenty more opportunities to make a fortune with
in the future."
It was no wonder Celeste Grant treated them well. They were not only competent and trustworthy, but also fiercely loyal. They were the type who wouldn’t ask why; a single order from her would have them working their hardest, twenty-four hours a day.
At this, the Demon Cultivators dropped to one knee, placed a hand over their hearts, and declared in unison, "We subordinates swear our lives in loyalty to My Lady, to The Exalted One, and to the Young Master!"
After leaving the treasury, Celeste Grant didn’t see her son, but she did spot Javier Sinclair in the hallway.
She waved. "Hey! Exalted One, where’s our son? I don’t see him around."
"He went into seclusion in The Forbidden Land. He probably won’t be out for a while."
The Bloodfiend Den’s Forbidden Land was where he always went for Cultivation. It was protected by powerful Defensive Arrays, shielding it from external disturbances. If one were to face a Heavenly Tribulation there, the layers of Arrays could block thirty to forty percent of its power, raising the success rate of survival to over ninety percent.
Speaking of which, Javier Sinclair found it very strange.
The last ti he broke through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage while in seclusion in The Forbidden Land, he never faced a Heavenly Tribulation. But the breakthrough was a fact. All these years had passed, yet the tribulation never ca. His power continued to grow, but the skies above remained clear, without a hint of a tribulation.
Having cultivated to his level, Javier Sinclair could sense that the rules of this world were incomplete. Perhaps that was why he couldn’t even see a Heavenly Tribulation.
As a result, even Javier Sinclair didn’t know if transcending the tribulation to ascend was actually possible.
Celeste Grant thought of this as well.
"Wait a minute. Exalted One, I rember you broke through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. So where was your Heavenly Tribulation?"
If a Heavenly Tribulation were to appear, the sky above The Forbidden Land would surely be filled with dark clouds and roaring lightning, visible to the entire Bloodfiend Den.
Javier Sinclair glanced at her.
"You’re only just thinking of this now."
He waved his hand dismissively.
"There was no Heavenly Tribulation. I never saw one."
He thought for a mont before adding, "It might have sothing to do with the fundantal nature of this world. Or perhaps this world hasn’t existed for long and is too low-level, so its rules are incomplete."
Celeste Grant was taken aback, but she believed what he said.
’This world is a novel world,’ she thought. ’Perhaps so powerful being created this place based on a novel, turning it into a real world. But since it hasn’t existed for long, its rules are incomplete, so whether one can ascend to The Upper Realm is a real question.’
The immortal chronicles recorded that over a thousand years ago, soone transcended their tribulation and ascended. But did anyone actually see them ascend? Celeste Grant was starting to have her doubts.
"Incomplete rules? Exalted One, what are the Cultivation Levels in this world?"
Celeste Grant suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn’t help but ask.
Javier Sinclair glanced at her and replied, "Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, and Transcendance Tribulation. Hasn’t it always been this way? Why do you ask?"
In her previous world, there was no Cultivation, so after arriving here, she had just assud this world’s Cultivation Levels were naturally this way. But now, she didn’t think so anymore.
She shook her head slightly.
"I don’t think that’s right. This world’s Cultivation Levels are incomplete. I feel like so levels are missing. Exalted One, let
tell you, I’ve read novels before—it doesn’t matter which ones. The Cultivation Levels should be divided like this: Qi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, and after that, there should be the Void Refinent Realm, Integration Realm, and Mahayana Realm. Only after all those do you face the tribulation and ascend. That’s the correct progression of Cultivation Levels, right?"
But in this world, after Divinity Transformation, it’s straight to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, which felt wrong from the start. She hadn’t paid much attention to it before, since what she knew was just from novels, whereas this was the real world.
It was only after hearing Javier Sinclair talk about the incomplete rules and the lack of a Heavenly Tribulation that she made the connection.
The mont the words left her mouth, she saw Javier Sinclair staring at her, a flash of disbelief on his face. "Are you really not from the Dreamcloud Clan?"
An ordinary person could never possess this kind of ability to glimpse heavenly secrets.
Celeste Grant scratched her head.
"I’m really not."
Javier Sinclair grabbed her by the wrist.
"Whether you are or not, it’s best you don’t let anyone else know about this. The Cultivation World is full of greedy people who would harm you for it."
Seeing his serious expression, Celeste Grant nodded slightly.
"I know."
Celeste Grant smiled.
"Actually, I was just saying. I could be wrong."
