Chapter 78: 78

They all left early the next morning .

They were taking Jing Biao’s maglev airship . In Ai Tianfan’s words, it was safer to take Jing Biao’s maglev airship than taking a jumbo jet . He knew Ling Jiu and others would be in Jing Biao’s good hands .

“Where is the Super Training Camp, sir?”

As the maglev airship flew at high speed, the four of them chatted away while appreciating the scenery outside .

“Australia . ”

Jing Biao explained . “Australia is a big island . Before the Direbeast disaster, there were many ancient species in the Australian continent .

“After the Direbeast disaster broke out, the species in Australia—because of the geographical advantage—evolved much quicker than Direbeasts in other parts of the world .

“Thirty years have passed since, and now countless terrifying Direbeasts are roaming around Australia . Of the one hundred most vicious Direbeasts in the world, thirty are in Australia .

“Because of this, Australia is a no-man’s-land and one of the rare forbidden, dangerous places where no one visits . ”

“There is something I don’t understand, sir . Why did you say the creatures in Australia evolved much quicker than the Direbeasts in the rest of the world?” Ling Jiu looked in puzzlement .

“That is because,” Jing Biao paused, “there is a dimensional fissure in Australia . You all should know that the Gene Arcana on Earth come from dimensional fissures . ”

The three nodded .

“Let me put it this way . The level of Gene Arcana is higher in a location where a dimensional fissure presents . And hence the evolution speed of the creatures the location is quicker .

“Just like the land where a river flows, the water sources around the river must be more abundant compared to other places, and so the vegetation along the river thrives much better . That’s how things work . ”

“There is a dimensional fissure in Australia?” Ling Jiu was wide-eyed .

“Yup . ”

Jing Biao nodded, then continued . “During the beginning of the Direbeast disaster, dimensional fissure was a symbol of death, calamity, and hell .

“Because the leaked Gene Arcana from a dimensional fissure could turn a tame animal into a vicious demon, people were afraid of dimensional fissures .

“But as the arcanists rose, people started to find that the level of Gene Arcana’s concentration around dimensional fissures was higher than other places and could boost self-cultivation effectiveness . So people started to use dimensional fissures for self-cultivation purposes . ”

Jing Biao let out a smile . “There have been eighty-one dimensional fissures found around the world so far, and they are controlled by different major forces in the world .

“Pangu controls thirteen of these dimensional fissures and has built thirteen training grounds there . The Super Training Camp in Australia is just one of them . ”

“I see!”

As Ling Jiu finally started to cotton on, another question popped up on his mind . “Since Gene Arcana could leak through dimensional fissures, that means we could also travel through it, right? What does the world on the other side of a dimensional fissure look like?”

The world on the other side of a dimensional fissure?

Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er looked at Jing Biao with one question in mind: what was the most mysterious place on Earth?

The answer was the dimensional fissures, of course .

Because of the dimensional fissures and the appearance of the Gene Arcana, the Direbeasts had risen and human technological development had leapfrogged to the era of arcana .

It was not an exaggeration to say that the dimension fissures had changed the Earth, propelling the planet off into another orbit .

So people were curious about what lay on the other side of the dimensional fissures .

The discussion on this topic had never stopped . There were many answers and speculations, but none of them could give a definite answer .

“I am as clueless as you . ”

Jing Biao forced a smile . “The dimension fissures are extremely unstable . Even the toughest material will be crushed into ashes once plunging into a dimensional fissure . ”

“That means no one knows what the worlds on the other side of the dimensional fissures look like?” Yang Ling-er frowned .

“You are right . No one knows . ”

Jing Biao nodded . “But our exploration of the dimension fissures has never stopped . ”

“The government of various countries and major arcana combines have spent a huge number of resources and manpower to study the dimensional fissures . Everyone has an image on their mind: the world on the other side is a land of treasure . At least, the Gene Arcana concentration is the highest . ”

“Indeed . ”

Ling Jiu and the other two nodded in unison .

When the concentration level of the leaked Gene Arcana was already this high, it made everyone wonder how crazy high it would be on the other side .

Just this point alone had given enough motivation for humans to explore the dimensional fissures .

“Perhaps when our technology is advanced enough, or when we could withstand the crushing force of the dimensional fissures, we will be able to travel to the other side . ”

There was a fervent light in Jing Biao’s eyes . “I believe that day would not be far . ”

Ling Jiu and others nodded again . Human exploration would never stop .

Because of the courage to explore, humans had found and invented various manuals, weapons, treasures of heaven and earth, and arcana to survive while battling the Direbeasts .

As long as humans continue to improve, they would crack the secret of the dimensional fissures .

They chatted away as the airship traveled at high speed .

Three hours later, a large continent emerged on the horizon .

“That is Australia . ” Jing Biao smiled . “We are almost there!”

Ling Jiu and others looked with anticipation at the continent that was slowly filling their field of vision .

Ten minutes later, the airship arrived in the air above the continent . The airship kept flying before coming above an enormous castle .

A castle?

Fortress was the more apt word for it .

A hundred-meter-high wall protected the city all on all sides . Stains of dried blood covered the walls . Soldiers in combat uniforms were patrolling on the city walls .

The wall was heavily guarded by sentry posts .

There were embrasures on the wall, making the entire fortress look like a war machine .

Once there were Direbeasts coming near, those weapons lying in wait would turn into meat grinders and give those invading Direbeasts a lethal blow .

Besides, the area within ten miles from the fortress was scorched earth .

There was not a single tree . Not even grass .

Visibility was good when looking down from the fortress, from where people could see clearly if there were any Direbeasts coming .

The airship landed on a landing pad in the center of the fortress . As the four of them disembarked, a group of people came up from afar to meet them .

“Welcome back, sir!”

The leading guy, tanned skin, sturdy, wearing a green camouflage outfit, stepped up to greet Jing Biao .

“Yup . ”

Jing Biao patted the guy’s shoulder with a smile . “Have other mentors come back?”

“They are all almost here!” The sturdy guy replied .

“Good . ”

Jing Biao nodded, then looked at Ling Jiu and the rest . “Let’s go . Let me bring you to register first before settling you down . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Jing Biao brought the three of them to the camp leader’s office .

In Jing Biao’s words, the camp leader was the head of the Super Training Camp, a high-ranking officer not lower than departmental managers in the company . He had an unfathomable level of strength .

“Glad to see you back, Jing!”
