The Strongest Businessman-57 Chapter 57: The Realms above Spirit Gathering

After the incident at the city entrance, Dylan and his companions was able to successfully enter the city after paying 3620 gold coins because there is an entrance fee of 20 gold coins for all cultivators. Cultivators meaning to every entity that could cultivate so the Jagger Wolves were also included in the paying of the entrance fee. 81 human cultivators and 100 spirit beast is a total of 3620 gold coins worth of entrance fee.

Before the crowd went there separate ways, they approached Dylan and thanked him for exposing those guards of their stinky behavior resulting them to be killed by Victor. By doing so, he prevented more people from falling to their evil plans and was able to successfully deliver justice to those who were already victims of their plans.

His companions idolized Dylan even more because of the eloquence and quick-wittedness that Dylan displayed. Their eyes burned with anticipation and excitement for what was to come to them.

On the streets of the entrance of the city, Dylan tasked his companions with different tasks.

"Now that we've arrived, I need you all to split into groups of 4. The first group will handle the gathering of all useful information that can be asked or bought through gold coins. The second group will be responsible for finding a residence that will be able to accommodate all of us. The third group will be in charge of guarding the wolf pack while the last​ group will sell all of the loots that we don't have any use for. We'll meet back here by 6 in the evening that means you have 8 hours to accomplish your tasks​. I'll be joining the second group in finding a residence for us to stay." Dylan instructed.

"Yes sir!" The employees responded positively with energy and enthusiasm! They split into four groups and then separated to their tasks.

The second group, where Dylan was in, went to the real estate establishments in this city after asking some people around. They were able to buy a residence that was worth 50,000 gold coins and was able to accommodate 100 people but they learned something from the seller when Dylan discussed the price with him.

"In the city, one must be able to achieve a rank of nobility in order to stay. Any cultivator without rank can only stay for 2 weeks in the city. That's why if you desire to stay, you must be able to have a rank of at least 5." The real estate agent told Dylan.

"How is one supposed to be able to attain that rank?" Dylan inquired calmly.

"He must take the Nobility Test." The seller spoke with seriousness​

"Nobility Test? What's that?" Dylan asked.

"A test that measures the strength, knowledge and comprehension of the person. The first two are clearly dependent on your physical and mental capabilities but the last is where it becomes really difficult. Strength and knowledge can be acquired but comprehension is not. If you wish to know why the last test is the hardest, you will know when you take it." The dealer explained.

"Hmm. Thank you for the information. We'll get going now. Here's the money." Dylan was lost in his thoughts for a second. Then, he thanked the seller and gave the big sack of money.

"Thank you for coming. Come again." The seller bowed as Dylan and his companions left.

They​ headed to the street they were one earlier and saw the others. After meeting up, Dylan and his companions went to the address of the house. The house was quite as it had three floors and was evidently built with sturdiness and dexterity. The house was made with simplicity but built well and had strong support. There was also a garden in both frontyard and backyard that complimented with the simplicity of the house.

"Woah, this is amazing. It's big!" Ronald jumped as he said excitedly. The employees were also really excited when they saw this big house.

The house was about 50 meters squared and was wide enough to accommodate all of them. The second and third floor each had 15 rooms that can accommodate 4 persons because of the two bunk beds found in each room. Each room had a restroom for the occupants to use. The first floor was all for dining, entertainment and relaxation because it was where the dining area, living room and kitchen was found.

"It has everything that we need so everyone go upstairs and pick your rooms. Remember the second floor is for the boys while the third is for the girls." Dylan reminded.

Dylan assigned the second floor for men and the third floor for women. After setting down to their rooms and changed clothes after shower, Dylan called them over to the living room with a very long table to ask the results of the tasks of the first and fourth group.

"Sir Dylan, the fourth group was able to gain 30,500 gold coins after selling all the artifacts that we did not use. The reason for us being able to earn this much was because of the large amounts of Low and Mid Spirit Rank equipments we got from the bandit loot that numbered to 132 treasures." Larry reported because he was the leader of the first group.

"Nice work, guys. Thank you." Dylan smiled in approval.

The total amount of money they had in cash when they came here was about 80,000 gold coins but it was reduced to 20,000 gold coins after buying the house and paying the fee. Dylan also gave a couple of thousand gold coins to Jack who was the leader of the fourth group. He was really satisfied with the results of selling all the unused artifacts they gained.

"Sir, we were also able to discover many things from cultivation, rules and regulations, trending business and more." Jack spoke.

"Continue." Dylan said.

"First, we were able to discover the realms​ above Spirit Veins Realm are called: The Origin Palace Realm, The Mortal Severing Realm and the Immortal Saint Realm!" Jack enumerated.

Dylan and the others listened attentively to Jack. They knew what Jack was about to say was vital for their development and future as a cultivator. They were also be able to measure the gap between them and Byron. Although noone really voiced it out, everyone knew that every single one of them had the desire to avenge Leila's and Frank's death.

This desire was one of the reason that kept them having the tenacity and determination to become stronger than they ever were. Another reason was that they don't want to experience the pain of losing someone and they do not want anyone else to die in battle ever again. Thus, resulting to their desire for strength to become even more stronger.

"The Origin Palace Realm, as the name suggests this is the realm wherein the cultivator will be able to create a palace from an energy that is far superior than the spirit energy called Origin Energy. The Origin Palace grants the cultivator the ability to store nearly three times more energy than in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Not only that, it also enables the Avatar of a person to evolve! Cultivators at this realm could simply wipe out a dozen of experts at the Pinnacle of the Spirit Gathering Realm

" Jack spoke while his eyes shone like flames.

"What?!" The rest were shocked when they heard how powerful an Origin Palace Realm Expert is. Singlehandedly killing a dozen experts at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm? That was quite a big gap. Now, they knew why Byron viewed them as insignificant ants because killing them would be as easy as lifting a finger.

They knew how vast the gap was yet they did not feel too down because they even felt the excitement of growing stronger from it!

"The Mortal Severing Realm is where a cultivator sheds his mortality to be reborn anew, breaks through the division between human and immortal, and truly establish a connection with the heavens and earth. This is the realm where a mortal truly becomes a immortal!" Scott continued.

"The Immortal Saint Realm is the strongest and most powerful​ experts known in the Mystical Clouds Country! They are able to live for as long as 10,000 years old! Their power is so vast and supreme that Mortal Severing Cultivators could only crumble in their path! They are able to connect with both heaven and earth and summon it's awesome might! They are capable of destroying any state of a country alone!" Arnold narrated in awe.

"So does that mean the Mystic Red Cloud State can unify the whole country if they had one? Why not just conquer the entire country if any state had one?" Allana curiously asked.

"It's not that simple, Allana. It's because each state has their own Immortal Saint with them and engaging any war with any of them would not be beneficial to any of the states. Moreover, if they were to attack each other and fully dive into war, then other countries might take advantage of the war and conduct a full scale invasion." Jack explained.

"That's right, we've also learned that there is a ranking of every Saint alive and it's called The Ten Immortal Saints! 6 of which comes from the 6 clans of True Kings and the other 4 are from different states. All of them are the pillars​ of the entire Mystical Clouds Country! What's more is that there are rumors of 4 more Saints within the country but there locations​ is unknown and there isn't​ any concrete evidence of them even existing but those 10 are the real deal!" Scott interjected.

"Going back, we were also able to gain information about the stages within each level aside from the Immortal Saint Realm. We were able to complete the information on the Origin Palace Realm but was unable to do the same for the Mortal Severing Realm." Jack said.

"The Origin Palace Realm is divided into 4 sub-realms and has also 5 levels with 5 stages in each level: Origin Transmutation, Origin Foundation, Palace Formation and Palace Establishment. First, Origin Transmutation is the realm where a person needs to transmute his Spirit Energy to Origin Energy and to advance each level a person must be able to transmute 20% of their energy. Second, Origin Foundation is where a cultivator forms Origin Pillars and Origin Base to become the foundation of the Origin Palace. The third is the Palace Formation which is where the cultivator will try and build his very own Origin Palace. Lastly, the Palace Establishment this is where a cultivator is to fully integrated his Avatar to the Origin Palace. Therefore, resulting to the Avatars evolution as the Palace Avatar or Palace Guardian." Jack explained.

"The Mortal Severing Realm is also divided into 4 sub-realms and with the same levels and stages. But this is where it gets really dangerous. In order to advance this realm, a person must withstand heavenly tribulations every time they enter a sub-realm. Since this is the turning point for every cultivator to become immortal, the heavens barred the path of the weak and only allowed the strong to persevere. These are called the Mortal Severing Tribulations!" Scott continued.

"The first sub-realm is the Mortal Moulting where the cultivator must endure the first Mortal Severing Tribulations called Star Flames of Rebirth. In this realm, a person must be able to moult and cast away his mortal flesh and be reborned anew by the Star Flames of Rebirth but this flames are so strong that it could burn an entire mountain within seconds! But that is only the details we have gathered so far." Jack said disappointingly.

"We've also managed to gather information about the Mystical Magnates Cultivation." Arnold suddenly remembered.

"That's right." Scott agreed.

"So, what about it?" Dylan was suddenly even more intrigued. He was been meaning to know about it all this time.

"The Mystical Magnates are the occupation that is known to be the strongest because of their Magnate Strength that grants them the ability to suppress their enemies powers. The weakest rank of a Mystical Magnate is a Magnate Apprentice that is able to synchronize two emotions at once and use Magnate Strength. This stage is like a pre-entry realm to the Mystical Magnate stage. In the Mystical Magnate stage, there is 9 tiers and to advance to each tier a person must be able to refine and strengthen their Magnate Strength."

" The next stage is the Mystical Duke Rank where a Magnate is to create a Magnate Soul! A Magnate Soul is the condensed type of Magnate Strength similar to an Avatar but it is far more stronger than a Avatar because of the power of suppression that it possesses. The next is the Mystical Lord Rank. In this stage, a Magnate Soul is turned into a Soul Lord which is three times stronger than a Magnate Soul! The Soul Lord also have another ability called Soul Fusion! Soul Fusion is an ability that enables the Magnate to fuse his Avatar and Soul Lord to an even stronger entity which is more powerful than a Soul Lord." Arnold elaborated.

'So, this is the realm you are at, huh... Byron!' Dylan thought while he sat and placed his elbows on the table in front of him with fingers intertwined below his clear black eyes. Dylan's eyes flickered as pitch black clouds could be faintly seen within.
