《Celestial Journey》11] - [Tier-3 World]
Advertisement
Appearing back on the mountainous platform, Alexander took a look at the duo. Seeing that they were already focused on him, he simply waved his hand, teleporting along the two of them in space.
Using his Qi to keep them alive and afloat, he asked.
"So? How do you feel? This is space! The giant blue ball you see below is your world!"
Looking around them, their eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. With a hint of fear forming in their heart, they let out gasps as the magnificent view of the colorful, deep green and yellow space, going as far the eyes could see overtook their minds.
"I-Incredible!" The young man was the first to recover, not hiding his astonishment.
"Master, what about this..? And that!" Pointing her soft finger at many different places in the far distance, the young woman asked curiously, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"This is another world, and this is a star, but never mind that, I still do not know your names!"
Without wasting a single breath, the young man introduced himself while the young woman was still turning her head in every direction.
"Master, my name is Krysfer! I am not a noble so I do not have a family name..." Looking dejected, the young man stared at the young woman next to him.
"I am Sophia, I also don't have a family name." Looking at Alexander expectantly, while, of course, not forgetting to steal a glance to two around her, she then asked.
"Master, could you tell us your name?"
As the two waited for Alexander's answer, they saw him change appearance before his ponytail burst out, turning silver, as his freckles disappeared along with his eyes turning a bright silver as well. With his robes regaining their former appearance of pure, simple white, flowing freely in the deep void of space, they could not help choking on their saliva at the sight of the handsome two meter tall young man, comparing the two appearances in their minds.
Before they could ask, Alexander's voice sounded again.
"As for my name, it's Alexander, now, let's go and find a Tier-3 World. For your information they are called Lower Worlds, but while the name may sound insignificant, it is still much stronger than your little world below."
Not going around in circles, Alexander kept the two close to him before flying at a slow speed into the distance.
-----
After a couple of uneventful hours flying, Alexander noticed a grey and red, cloudy world from the corner of his eye. Turning his head left, he sent his Divine Sense, rapidly enveloping the entire world before nodding with a satisfied look.
"I found a good one for you two!"
Speeding up, it was soon after that they reached the two colored world, not wasting time. Alexander did not linger around, immediately flying peacefully, without a care in the world toward a weird stone forest below.
Landing, the two were glancing all around them, admiring the beautiful scenery of a grey sky contrasting the mountainous horizon. Their surroundings were filled to the brim with tall, thin dead trees completely made out of stone, as if carved by a master sculptor.
Krysfer seemed lost in thought, not paying attention to Sophia currently walking away trying to reach one of the many stone trees.
Fortunately for her, she was grabbed by the collar from behind. Turning her head around meekly, she saw Alexander shake his head at her.
"Don't go too far, I still haven't adapted your bodies to such an environment!"

Krysfer was the first to question.
"Master, is it dangerous to go too far?"
"Of course! After all, the only reason your bodies haven't been squashed like mush on the ground by the wild energies here is simply because of me! Even as we speak I am filtering the atmospheric energies around us to avoid having the Qi grind your bodies to dust! Even if you guys both were at the peak of a Tier-2 World like your former one, maybe you could barely be able to survive, suffering severe injuries. But then again, how long would you last like this?"
Seeing the frightened look of understanding they had, Alexander scanned the both of them with his Divine Sense, finding in mere instants a bright golden colored ball of light shining with pure Mana inside their hearts. Its size minuscule, this was the system they possessed!
Not taking another look before annihilating them into nothingness, Alexander waved his hand, extracting the Mana inside their very being for the naked eye to witness.
'What is this blue thing coming off my body?!' Krysfer could not help feeling scared, as not only was this scene strange, but the feeling of power he previously had started to fade at breakneck speed!
'My levels!' Sophia, too, understood what was happening. But thinking back on what her master did to the young girl back then, she simply calmed herself, letting him remove everything.
After a few seconds, every single speck of Mana had been removed, letting it drift outside of his protection, both Krysfer and Sophia shivered at the sight unfolding next.
The mist of blue Mana, their entire powers combined, was snuffed out of existence the moment it got too far away. Clearly understanding that it happened because this same mist had left Alexander's protection, they almost fell on their butt from terror.
"Don't worry about it, it's just the wild, unrestrained Qi in the atmosphere, albeit extremely faint, taking care of lowly energies like this. The Mana was simply erased from existence."
'Our powers, capable of shocking even the entire continent we were in, was simply... erased... just like this..?'
Seemingly understanding even more the difference between their former world and this one, they immediately ran closer to Alexander, much to his entertainment.
'Look at them..., do they not trust me?'
Waving his hand once again, the duo could only hear a single sentence before their vision went dark, their mind overwhelmed by pain more potent then their entire lives combined many time over.
"Let me remake your bodies, it will be faster and more efficient as well."
-----
It was only after what seemed like hours, if not days of pure, unobstructed, mind shattering torture, that the duo regained their senses.
Before they could say anything Alexander's voice reverberated inside their mind.
"In case you are wondering, it took only a few minutes, as I experimented with stuff... So go ahead and look at yourselves, I gave you some upgrades hehe!"
Shivering at his evil laugh, they quickly investigated their bodies, not leaving behind a single spot unchecked.
Having a hard time noticing most of the changes, Alexander simply waved his hand casually, creating two puppets of light that had their former appearances.
Helping each other they soon finished with the changes.
'So we are both taller, with fairer skin and have more defined, lean muscles...'
Already guessing their thoughts Alexander did not hide his changes.
"You guys can already tell what changed outside... but inside is where the fun is! I did not increase your talents, as that would be boring, but I did adapt your bodies to Qi. I do not know if you have realized, but you are no longer inside my protection, that has been so since you woke up, actually."

"Now, before we go do some tranquil exploring, let me tell you that for each time a higher form of energy is present in a world, then it will be extremely difficult for you to damage it without the appropriate energy!"
Seeing the confused looks the duo gave off, Alexander explained further.
"Let me give you an example. If someone from a Mana filled world like a Tier-2 World, that had reach the highest possible level of strength, used its full power to strike the grass below, all they would be able to do, no matter how much incredible shockwaves or quantity of smoke they generated with those flashy attacks, at best, is remove a few bits of dirt here and there."
'Wait, so if I had managed to reach level one hundred, I wouldn't be able to do anything more than uproot some bits of dirt...' Sophia had a blank look of disbelief for everyone to see.
Krysfer too, was simply trembling, looking around him once more, taking in the ordinary landscape that apparently could not be destroyed by even the most powerful of beings back inside his world.
"And, of course, the opposite is valid as well. If someone from a Tier-3 World decided to even walk inside a Tier-2 World, his every step would shake his surroundings as his heavy and Qi filled body would simply be too powerful as well as too heavy for the world to bear. Even I had to go and use artifacts among other things to avoid my feet shattering the entire world! Most of the time I would just fly slightly, but on a world so weak, I am not sure if it could've taken it."
'Seriously?! Is master just boasting, no wait, it does make sense... How weak was I then?! I even went and used a title like the 'Water Demon' with pride! How embarrassing!' Krysfer's face turned red, covering his face with his hands in shame.
"I was called the Sword Maiden, does it means it was just an empty title?!" Looking at Alexander's figure for his answer, she ended up regretting her words as soon as she heard her master's response.
"Sword Maiden? Yeah~ but no, you don't even give off any aura that a sword user would have. I'm pretty sure I have seen newborns with a better understanding of the sword than you'll ever have!"
"Now, now, let's not get depressed so easily, cultivation is not a short process! Look at your master, while almost there, I am still not at the peak of this Universe, and I am over sixteen millions years old! Let that sink in!"
'Did I hear correctly?'
'There is no way...'
The two could only look at each other dumbfounded by this revelation. Sixteen millions years old, their master was probably even older than their world itself! Yet this same monster had still not reached the highest level... How could they accept it so easily?
Not waiting for them to recover from this unexpected information, Alexander did not release his Divine Sense just yet, he wanted to explore this one leisurely. While he had scanned the entire world, he did not actively try to remember landscapes or structures, if not the exact opposite.
"Alright you kids, let's get going! Now that you are simple mortals, albeit used to Qi and therefore, saying that you are stronger than before would not be incorrect, it's time to cultivate! So let's search for a suitable, beautiful place first!"
-----
Inside a city in the world Alexander and his disciples landed on, within a red tiled castle surrounded by countless houses and buildings, as far as the eye could see, multiple figures could be seen seated around a giant, round table. Looking at each other, one of the figures said.
"Everyone! I, Martial King Gregory, must thank you all for taking time off your duties and accepting my invitation!" A tall man in fancy red robes with sparkly golden accent on them, looked around the table.
The man was middle aged, with short and messy brown hair. And along with his thick brown beard and sharp features, the man gave off an oppressive aura of majesty. This was the owner of the giant red castle they were in.
After a silence permeated the air for a few moments, a white haired old man with a white beard reaching his waist stood up before cupping his fists at the middle aged man.
"No need to be polite! This old man, and I believe everyone here will agree, came to deal with those demons!" Looking around at the other figures that slowly nodded their heads at his word, the old man continued.
"Those demons are plaguing this world! Not only are they strong beyond belief, but they also keep on actively destroying every village and even city they see! They are clearly not putting our Human Race in their eyes!"
Hearing the loud old man, many figures nodded at his concise words, clearly agreeing with his speech.
Some, however, did not have the same opinion.
"Old man Tiandu! You may say all of this, but have you even fought with them before?! Because, having done it myself, I can guarantee their strength as nothing short of frightening!" On the old man's right, a middle aged man with black hair, his beard shaved along with his fiery red eyes and thick eyebrows could not halt himself from intervening.
"Crowned Fist Joshua, isn't this going along with my words?" Rebuked old man Tiandu.
"If they are so strong, then, looking at their active destruction and hate of our Human Race, should we not try and eliminate this menace before it is too late?! What if they can become even stronger!!? How will you take responsibility then?! Can you see yourself looking in the eyes of your descendants as they are being oppressed because of your lack of responsibility and courage!!?"
Hearing the infuriating words of old man Tiandu, Joshua could only hold in his anger, with veins bulging everywhere on his now red face, knowing that his words were in fact correct.
What if they could become even stronger? Having fought them himself, as a Martial Grandmaster, Joshua knew how terrifying they truly were.
Those demons were always at the Martial Expert prowess, if not higher, at the Martial Master prowess. No matter how young they seemed.
Having never seen any at the Martial Veteran prowess and below, Joshua was truly wondering where they came from, but even knowing all of this, he was still feeling angry at old man Tiandu's words.
'But do you need to humiliate me like this?!'
Even so, Joshua did not dare make trouble in presence of so many Martial Grandmasters, especially because of the Martial King Gregory, a monster at the Martial Ancestor prowess.
As the debate continued, more and more people started leaning on the side of war, and after a few more days of debate, it was decided that they would go to war a few days later. Since soldiers weaker than Martial Experts would be utterly useless, they did not need much time to gather their forces.
