Alex and the rest went around the festival trying out the many games and entertainments that were around them.
They stayed there until late into the night and returned home way past midnight. The older couple had already gone to sleep by the time they returned.
Alex rested with the rest even though they didn’t really need one, but it was still quite good to refresh one’s mental state. They spent the rest of the night doing simple things as well and by the time it was morning, Ronron had already received a call that asked Alex and the rest to go to them.
It was time for them to leave for the Northern Continent.
After the other two woke up, they informed them that they were leaving, so the older Alex drove them all to the train station in the morning.
Alex had thought of leaving behind Pearl to help the older couple, but since the workers were going to be returning any day now, they didn’t need that help at all.
So, he took both Pearl and Whisker with him. Not only them, but even his father was also coming around this time. Graham wasn’t going to be of much use in the Northern Continent, but that wasn’t why he was taking him there anyway.
He simply wanted his father to visit the land of ice, something that he rarely got to see ever in his life.
The 3 humans and 4 beasts took the train ride back to the senior’s place where Hao Ya welcomed them in.
Ronron took her grandfather through the mansion to introduce him to her master while the rest slowly followed behind.
The senior was already inside the room ready, so everyone went in there as well. Ronron quickly introduced her grandfather and Graham talked with the senior for a bit.
Alex waited for their conversation to end before going to talk with the senior himself.
“Hey, you’re taking your father with you?” the senior asked.
“Yes,” Alex nodded. “I want him to meet his sister.”
“That’s not too bad,” the senior said. “But Ronron says that she wants to go too. Did you say you were gonna take her?”
“I was hoping I could do that,” Alex said. “She’s been wishing of going to the outside world for so long, that I think I should take her to the Northern Continent. It’s one of the weaker continents after all, and with the group we have, we won’t have anything to fear there.”
“That’s true, but…” the senior hesitated a bit. “I’m very worried that something might happen to her.”
“I will be there, and so will Scarlet. We will be fine,” Alex said.
“Yes, but…” the man hesitated quite a bit.
“Is something wrong, senior?” Alex asked seeing as it did look like something was wrong.
“Here’s the thing,” the man spoke. “With your daughter having the Sky God’s physique, she is now eligible to inherit my master’s throne if she is able to reach a high level of cultivation base, which I’m sure she will.”
“At the same time, because she has that potential, bringing her along with me to the Sky God’s palace is my one hope at redeeming myself in my master’s eyes even if the rest of humanity still considers me the worst person to exist out there. However, if your daughter gets into some trouble, I will be in trouble as well, so I have to be very careful about where and how she is.”
“Senior,” Alex spoke. “Do you think I will let my own daughter get hurt?”
“No, I don’t believe you will, but there’s still a chance that you—”
“Nothing is going to happen,” Alex said. “In the first place, none of the elders there have anything against me. In fact, they will most likely treat me even better than they already did because I managed to kill the Mad Immortal plaguing their life.”
“Even if they somehow forgot everything I did and are hostile to me, they still won’t do anything to me since I am a king from another continent. Attacking me or my family will bring the war to their lands, which I’m sure they don’t want. As a princess, Ronron will be safe wherever she goes in the Northern Continent.”
“Secondly, keeping someone locked up in a dark room is no way to help them grow. Do you want the next Sky God to be someone who is a sheltered child that does not know the outside world at all?” Alex asked.
The senior sighed. “No, that… would be bad. The other candidates will most likely win against her if that were to happen,” he said.
“Yes, so please don’t worry about it. I am going to take my daughter to see the outer world that she is so desperate to see,” Alex said.
The senior took a deep breath and nodded. “Fine, I will allow it,” he said.
“Thank you,” Alex said. The senior was about to walk away when Alex stopped him.
“Actually, I was hoping you would help me with something senior,” Alex said. A small light flashed from his left arm and Pearl appeared to his left.
“Oh, hey little guy, you’re going too?” the senior asked.
“Yes,” Pearl nodded his head.
“I wanted to ask you about him,” Alex said. “I heard that you said he ended up burning away his bloodline and spiritual root to save himself and that the only way to get it back is to evolve into a White Tiger, is that true?”
“Yes, I did say that,” the senior said. “Unfortunately, this little fellow ruined his talents in order to save himself and can only bring them back through those extreme measures.”
Alex frowned when he heard that. “Is there no other way?” he asked. “Is there no pill or anything that can instantly fix it for him, instead of having to evolve? There is a very high chance that he might die if he tries to go through the evolving process, and I can’t have that.”
The senior shook his head. “Unless you can find some high Divine rank or even Celestial rank alchemists, It’s pretty much impossible,” he said.
“But that will…” the amount of time it would take for him to reach that level, even if it was to just ask someone for the pill would take a ridiculously large amount of time.
Was letting Pearl go through the ritual the only option he had?
‘God, I hope the beast in the beast realm has some answers for me,’ Alex thought. There was a near-impossible chance that they had anything other than what the senior and Scarlet had already told him, but if there was the slightest chance that Alex could skip out on letting Pearl go through the ritual to get back his talents, he most definitely would.
“Alright everyone, get on top of the teleportation formation now,” the senior said and one by one everyone but the Snake got on top of it.
“You sure you don’t want to come along, senior?” Ronron asked the Snake. “We’re going to where your brother is, right?”
The snake shook his head. “I can maybe survive a single lightning strike from the Heavenly Judgment. If I go out now, I will be dead before I can meet my brother. We will both have to leave this realm at the same time so that we can leave this world together, and for that, we need to not die when the lightning hits us. So, I can’t leave just yet.”

“Remember, let Hao Ya handle any complications that might come up and just try to help her out in general. I will be waiting for you all to return back with a lot of people in a week or two from now. Okay?” the senior asked.
“Understood,” Alex and the rest said.
The senior nodded. “Good luck!”
He activated the formation and in the next moment, Alex felt a tremendous amount of force twist the space around him that generated the teleportation aura. Then, when it was fully powered up, they all vanished in a single second, arriving in open land with no roof above them.
There was a level of chill in the air that wasn’t there just a moment ago. Alex looked around the location and they were definitely in the Northern Continent. He remembered this teleportation formation from back then.
“Woah!” both Ronron and Graham looked around in awe at the location they had arrived at.
The surrounding was mostly flat, and there wasn’t much to the ground aside from it being a little barren. There were trees around, but not to the same level as the Sunborn Sanctuary or the Central Continent.
“This place is amazing,” Ronron said as she looked at the open sky. “The Qi here is so strong too.”
Alex smiled and pat her head a little. “There are places with far denser Qi than this. I will take you there too in the future,” he said.
“What do we do now?” Graham asked. “Do you know where to go, son?”
“I do,” Alex said and sensed some movement from close by. “But it might be better just to wait. Someone’s found us already.”
A few people wearing red and royal blue robes came up to the group with weapons in their hands. They were disciples of the ancient sects that were here to guard the teleportation formation.
When they saw the group, they stopped and the strongest person in the group shouted.
“Introduce yourselves, and your intention behind coming here.”
