Chapter 502: Blood Star Region (1/2)

Xue Wei and Lan were both somewhat nervous, but they knew that they could not rush anything.

The middle-aged ghost invited them to follow their caravan all the way to the next city, and then begin their search from there on.

It was the capital of a region. They were in the Blood Star Region, and the county was called the Ice Flower County. This county was one among the eighty-nine counties within the Blood Star Region, and it was also the biggest.

Although there was a constant battle within the regions to advance the ranking on the county rank, the Ice Flower County had been on the top for the last thousands of years. No one had been able to shake the glory and foundations that had been built.

The caravan was coming from three counties away; they were moving from the Sunset County, towards the Blood Star Capital, which was the name of the capital city of the Blood Star Region.

The Sunset County was famous for its Ghost Vehicles. The carriage they were in right now was one of those mechanic vehicles that ran solely on the heaven and earth essence.

The Ghosts could not use this energy in order to advance, so there was an abundant amount of it in the air, and Sunset County had invented a way to let carriages run on it. Other items absorbed the essence and transformed it into energy that could fuel their machines.

Xue Wei was curious about how it worked, but the middle-aged ghost was guarding the mechanism with his life, and Xue Wei quickly gave up his idea of understanding its intricacies.

He was not willing to insult their guide, who was so kind and offered them a lift.

The carriage did not have any windows; however, inside there was a large screen that was made from energy. It showed everything that went on outside the carriage on an incredibly life-like display.

However, there was nothing to see. The land was desolate. The carriages kicked up the sand, and the only shrubs that were visible were all dead.

There were no signs of animals, not even insects. The Ghost Realm seemed too empty.

Xue Wei and Lan had both reached a rank where they had transcended the human body's physical needs. They did not need to sleep, nor did they need to eat or answer nature's call.

This was not something they usually thought about. However, while being in the Ghost Realm, they realized just how important this was.

There was nothing to eat since the ghosts only consumed other ghosts and souls. While there were some water sources, according to the middle-aged ghost, they were scarce, and they should not be used for drinking.

The water in the Ghost Realm could poison a living cultivator due to the overwhelming yin energy within.

Xue Wei and Lan listened to every word that the middle-aged ghost told them. They understood that their lives would not be comfortable while they were in this place, but they would not be uncomfortable either.
