I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 149 Comments]

"Welcome to the Cultivation Realm." A young lady respectfully lowered her head, greeting Theo and Mia who had disguised themselves like natives.

Theo nodded his head. His gentle expression couldn't help but mesmerize the people around him.

It seemed that people were scanning his cultivation, which was something they normally do to see if the people were worth offending or not. If one was too strong, there was no way they would have anything to do with them.

Theo didn't bother to say anything to anyone or even glance at them.

The first thing Theo did after reaching this realm was actually exit the place so that he didn't get more attention than necessary.

"Dad. Can you speak their language?" Mia asked. "I mean, one of the perks that suddenly appeared when the ten worlds were connected was the ability to understand each other. However, we're still talking in our respective languages, so they will know that we're not from this place."

"If it's only speaking, then yes. A certain old friend has been bothering me for a while, so I ended up learning a bit of his language. From what I heard, the language is not that different. Hence, it should be fine." Theo nodded with a smile. Of course, the friend he mentioned was none other than one of the strongest people in his original world.

"Is that so? Then, should I play like a timid girl so that I don't have to speak a lot?" Mia grinned, imagining the contrast between her usual self and the character she was about to play.

"As long as you're happy, I don't see any problem with it. After all, our trip this time is to have fun." Theo chuckled.

"Then, what about our names? Won't it be weird if they know about our weird names?"

"Nah. It's fine for the time being. If we're going to use a fake identity, I'll adjust the illusion to create another appearance."

"In that case, where are we going first?"

"Of course. We'll visit the Snow Blossom Sect's Master."

"Li Wei's aunt? Ah. Are we going to ask for recommendations of places that we can explore?"

"Exactly. There are a few challenges out there that should be fun. So, I don't think it's bad to ask for a recommendation, considering she asked me to visit her sect previously."

"That's great." Mia pumped her fists, feeling excited.

Theo couldn't help but find someone who didn't look like they were going to lash at him just by asking directions.

He found an average-looking guy. His cultivation didn't seem to be high and he appeared to be waiting for someone.

So, Theo asked Mia to wait and approached the guy.

"Hello! Sorry to bother you, but if I may ask, do you know the direction of the Snow Blossom Sect?" Theo asked in their native language.

The guy was slightly startled. The fact that Theo was here and didn't know the direction of the Snow Blossom Sect clearly showed that he was an outsider. But the latter could actually talk in their language, making him slightly curious.

However, it didn't seem that Theo was someone weak and with how he spoke, it was clear that he had made some preparation before coming to this place.

It was better not to probe this guy. He pointed in the direction of the rising sun and said, "The Snow Blossom Sect is located in the east. As long as you follow the sun from here, you should be able to find the Snow Blossom Sect."

Theo smiled politely. "Thank you, young friend."

The guy couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows as he watched Theo and Mia go in the direction he pointed at earlier.

Once they were far enough, their figures instantly disappeared as if they had increased their speed.

"…" He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows before saying, "As expected, that guy must be an expert."

"What's wrong, little brother?" Suddenly, a feminine voice echoed inside his ears.

"!!!" The guy turned around and saw a young lady. Her appearance was quite beautiful, but her calm temperament actually soothed one's heart. He said, "It's nothing. I just happened to meet an interesting expert who wants to go to the Snow Blossom Sect."

"Snow Blossom Sect?" She slightly raised her eyebrows.

"Is there something wrong, Elder Sister?"

"I actually have to go back to the sect too."

"What? Haven't you just finished your studies at the World Union Academy? Why don't you spend time with the family first?"

"Well, the sect master is requesting all sorts of information from all disciples of the Snow Blossom Sect that are chosen to study at the World Union Academy. It seems that she is seeking information about a person called Theodore Griffith. He is a teacher, who is teaching the sect master's niece."

"Really? I guess you can't spend some time with your family. Even though Father and Mother miss you."

"Haha. I'll go back after reporting everything. Just tell Father and Mother that I'll be delayed for several days."

"Alright." He nodded. "At least, I will escort you to Blooming Sun City."

"Sure."

…

Meanwhile, Theo was following the direction the young man gave. They didn't fly because he wanted to know how people in this world traveled. He could imagine a few things, but he had to make sure.

"Dad!" Mia suddenly pointed up. "There is a boat flying in the air."

Theo also noticed it and said, "I guess that's the method."

"I have heard about this. It should be called a flying boat. If I'm not wrong, it's controlled by an array or something… That's usually the setting in a cultivation novel."

"Aren't you spending too much time reading those stories?"

"Hehe. I think it's useful to learn about their cliches. The author must want to use it from time to time."

"Well, as long as it doesn't bother your training, you are free to do anything in your free time." Theo sighed. "Anyway, we won't be stopping in a city unless it's connected to the Snow Blossom Sect."

"Aye, Sir!" Mia grinned excitedly. Once they got recommendations, she couldn't help but imagine all kinds of fun things they could finally do together. There were no other students, which made it more interesting.

While running, Theo asked, "In that case, let me ask a question. What do you know about the Snow Blossom Sect and cultivation in general?"

"Cultivations are divided into seven levels: Qi Gathering, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Void Stage, Transcendence, and the legendary Immortal." Mia recalled the information she had browsed regarding the cultivation realm. "As for the Snow Blossom Sect, it's the sect filled with women."

"From my prediction, my current strength should be similar to that of the Foundation Establishment Stage. But that's because of my low amount of essence in the body, and the cultivation world measures one's strength based on the amount of essence in their body." Theo continued.

"But if I'm not wrong, there is also some benefit to reaching a higher stage in cultivation. It makes their strength far stronger than the realm beneath it."

"Everyone is like that. Do you really think that every time we get stronger, it'll create a linear graph? No. It's exponential. The stronger you are, the more you will feel the gap. In the end, it will depend on how you utilize your strengths. I should have no problem killing a Nascent Soul Stage. The Void Stage should be easy if I can unlock my third authority."

Mia contemplated for a moment. "Doesn't that mean by the time you reach 70 or 80%, you can be considered the strongest in this world?"

"Well, my control over abilities is at the level of God of Tricksters, so yeah." Theo shrugged. "If you have good control, you can also become like that."

"I really want to become the Goddess of Prankster in our original world when we're back."

"If that's the case, reach a 50% assimilation rate first, and I'll tell you about a certain secret."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Alright. I'm going to work hard." Mia smirked. She couldn't help but think of something amusing. "By the way, Dad. Do you know how to become a disciple of the Snow Blossom Sect?"

"Hmmm?" Theo couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. In just a few seconds, he seemed to be able to imagine what his daughter planned to do. "Are you going to have fun that way?"

"Of course. I want to make it so that I'm recruited by the Snow Blossom Sect. I might sound arrogant, but with my talent, it should be enough to alarm their higher-ups, right? If that's the case, let's just create a blast that forces the elders or even the sect master herself to appear."

"Well…" On the one hand, Theo wanted to say that this was a foolish decision. On the other hand, he had promised Mia to have fun in this world. He said, "But I don't think it will be that easy. I mean, are they even recruiting people?"

"If we discuss this, don't you think the author will make it that way just for plot convenience?" Mia smirked.

"Probably. If the author creates that situation, then I will agree with your idea. If not, I will create another way for you to have fun." Theo chuckled. "Just leave everything else to me."

"Yay! I love Dad!" Mia leaped toward Theo and kissed his cheek.

He truly spoiled Mia whenever he could.

…

Blooming Sun City.

"If you want to become a disciple of the Snow Blossom Sect, you have to register here first. The recruitment will open for the next three days." A young lady wearing white martial clothes with red stripes announced it out loud.

It appeared that she didn't need to announce anything because a lot of people had already lined up at their small stand.

There were a total of four disciples that took care of the stand as two of them seemed to be in charge of recording everything.

"Name?" One of them asked the person standing in front while extending her hand as if asking her to show her wrist.

"Luo Yan," she replied while extending her hand.

"Luo Yan, 14 years old, place your hand on the crystal." She pointed at the crystal ball on the table.

It started shining dimly until Luo Yan took off her hand.

"2-Star Qi Gathering Stage." The disciple nodded and gave her a wooden token. "Return three days later to get assessed."

"Thank you." Luo Yan nodded furiously and hurriedly left.

"You're too old! Do you think you can fool us? Your bones clearly show that you are already 16 years old." The disciple next to her shouted. "Listen, all of you. If you want to join the Snow Blossom Sect, you have to be a 1-Star Qi Gathering Stage at the age of 15. If you don't meet the requirements and try to fool us, you shall pay the price!"

The participants couldn't help but gulp down. Though, there were a few of them who looked confident as if it weren't the Snow Blossom Sect that chose them, the other way around. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Little did they know, there was someone who was ready to cause a ruckus on the way.
