Chapter 259: Central Continent (1/2)

The southwest part of the Central Continent was ruled by the Wyan Dynasty. They were one of the 5 rulers that ruled the central continent. The 5 dynasties weren't at war with each other, but they weren't very lax with each other either.

They owned about one-fifth of the land while the other 4 empires owned the rest of the land. They had a fairly decent amount of strength and were middle of the pack in terms of strength.

The weakest of the 5 was the Sun Empire in the middle where most of the empire was simply desert and Qi was way too sparse for them to produce strong cultivators.

While the empires on the edges, like the Wyan Empire, had a lot more abundance of Qi and didn't need to worry about getting enough sun to become a desert.

Also being next to the seas opened up a massive source of food to these 4 empires that the Sun Empire could not hope to get.

The Wyan empire was full of nobles and commoners. Similar to Vilmore, one could use their contributions to become a noble. However, there were no distinctions between nobles and all were in equal standing, at least according to the system.

Obviously, a noble house of higher strength had more influence and thus indirectly more authority when compared to the noble houses that didn't have as many cultivators to threaten others.

The strongest amongst these houses were the Flyan house, the Libon house, the Udler house, and the Praxton house, which were together known as the Four Great Houses.

The Rigot family that Ender came from was a newly established Noble house starting with Ender's father, Ember Rigot.

Ning mused to himself about how different the central continent was from the Southern continent and the Northern continent. There were very few places in those two continents where the concept of noble and commoner existed.

Even if it did, it was outshined by the difference between a Cultivator and a mortal.

”I think you should really consider what profession you want to learn more in before you enter the Five Professions Academy, brother Ning,” Ender said with a concerned face.

”Hmm…” Ning wondered.

The five professions in the academy's name referred to Alchemist, Formation master, Artifact creator, Talisman creator, and finally a Beast Master.

Ning had wondered for a second as to why there was no physician profession, as those were quite necessary in the world as well, but it had turned out that in the Central continent, Alchemists also did the job of physicians in part.

Alchemists were taught to recognize illness, diseases, and any other complications a human being might have and used pills instead of pastes to cure them.

Ning thought through these 5 professions and quickly decided what he was going to take. After letting Anya learn about Alchemy, he had also dabbled in it for a few years, albeit not enough to know how good he was yet.
