Chapter 738: Chapter 705: A Genuine Carriage
Shaking off the water from his body, Shen Han removed the "damp" label from his clothes.
Looking around at the surroundings, this place seemed like another world, like a paradise.
From the moment he stepped into this realm, Shen Han felt the difference here.
No wonder, Master Xingchuan sent him here to explore the power of laws.
The space between heaven and earth here is filled with an oppressive force.
Under this oppressive force, Shen Han clearly realized that he found it difficult to exert his own strength.
He found a clean spot, sat cross-legged, and felt the difference around him.
Under the oppressive force, his strength vanished immediately.
Except for a physical strength above that of ordinary people, everything else seemed no different from commoners.
This feeling was somewhat similar to when he first entered the Little Pool Secret Realm.
The world set by the Little Pool Immortal was built upon his own laws.
Under his laws, other heaven and earth laws were engulfed and covered.
Shen Han continued to experience the oppressive force in this world.
This oppressive force seemed different from that in the Little Pool Immortal Secret Realm.
It was suppressing the original heaven and earth laws, rather than constructing a new set of laws.
Therefore, for the people of this world to cultivate, the first thing they must do is resist this oppressive force.
Only when they can contend with these oppressive forces can they step onto the path of cultivation.
He hadn’t been here long, and Shen Han couldn’t confirm if his thoughts were accurate.
But from a superficial understanding, this world was indeed unsuitable for ordinary people to cultivate.
However, for Shen Han, this place was indeed an excellent place for training.
Simply contending with the oppression of this world’s laws was enough for him to delve into.
Shen Han tried to use the power of laws he had comprehended to resist, and it did have an effect.
But under the suppression of this world’s laws, even if he managed to withstand these oppressive forces, he could only exert the strength of the Fifth Grade.
With that Fifth Grade strength, he couldn’t even perform sky-controlling flight, relying only on magical artifacts.
Understanding this, Shen Han looked around.
In the southeast direction, there was a high mountain. Shen Han prepared to ascend the mountain for a broader view.
Climbing to the mountain’s peak, Shen Han looked at the surrounding scenery.
Then he communicated with Master Xingchuan telepathically.
He described everything he saw to Master Xingchuan.
During the description, memories seemed to be stirred in him.
According to Master Xingchuan, after crossing this mountain, he mentioned heading southeast.
There was a small country he had once visited.
The Imperial Family of that small country had some insights into the path of laws.
However, over a century had passed, and Master Xingchuan couldn’t say for sure what this world had become.
Now with no particular direction, Shen Han didn’t think much and went straight southeast.
He had come here to seek methods related to enhancing his understanding of laws.
With a path available, naturally, he had to go and try.
To step further into the Second Grade Immortal Realm required a bit of luck.
Even for rumors or clues as intangible as the wind, one must try.
Trying was the only possibility.
Without trying, one’s realm wouldn’t advance out of thin air.
Heading southeast all the way, Shen Han didn’t use his boat-traveling artifact.
His understanding of this world was not enough, and the boat-traveling artifact could be ostentatious.
If he stepped into the territory of a strong practitioner, it might cause some trouble.
After all, under the current oppression of this world, he could only exert strength around the Fifth Grade.
He knew too little about the strong practitioners in this world, and everything required caution.
Though he didn’t use the boat-traveling magical artifact, by employing the Lonely Peak Snow-Treading Step, Shen Han’s pace was still decent.
Along the way, Shen Han saw quite a few small villages.
There were indeed many people living in this world, the villages even more densely packed than in Great Wei.
Shen Han tried to approach and investigate; the villages mainly focused on farming, and some were doing craftsman’s work.
However, there was hardly anyone practicing cultivation in the villages.
Moreover, the physical bodies of the villagers seemed untouched by cultivation.
After about two days, Shen Han finally encountered a slightly larger city.
The architectural style of the city was very similar to that of Yan Country.
To say it was a continuation would not feel out of place at all.
Shen Han changed some clothes to better match the attire of the townspeople.
Upon entering the city, Shen Han began to observe all around.
The city was bustling and, at a glance, nearly identical to the cities of Yan Country.
He guessed that perhaps these people were the descendants of Yan Country people.
Finding a tavern to sit down, Shen Han listened to the lively discussions around him.
However, he couldn’t quite make out what they were discussing.
While walking through the city, Shen Han found a bookshop.
Inside, he bought some basic texts and casually inquired about cultivation books.
Hearing this, the bookshop owner just laughed.
"If we little bookshops had cultivation texts for sale, wouldn’t I be a wealthy man in the city?
Young man, you must have just come from the countryside?
If you want to cultivate, buying won’t work.
Even if it could work, you wouldn’t have the gold or silver for it.
Ordinary people can only work for the officials, earn their rewards, and then touch such cultivation methods."
While speaking, the bookshop owner tossed him another book.
"Take a look, but don’t dream too much.
People like us are essentially not destined for cultivation."
