A Man Like None Other

“Can someone from level two travel down here to the first?” Jared asked.

“Absolutely,” Flaxseed said. “Not just those from level two, even those from any of the thirty-six levels can show up. But most of them just don’t bother. To them, you’re nothing more than an ant. Why would they waste time here?”

“Think about it, would you strut around an anthill for fun? What‘s the thrill in stepping on a bunch of ants? There’s nothing to gain for them. And if there’s nothing to gain, there’s no reason to come.”

“Fair point… But if those from higher levels can visit freely, doesn’t that put us all in danger?” Jared asked, clearly uneasy.

“This is the celestial realm. Danger’s everywhere, and you can lose your life anytime,” Flaxseed said bluntly. “Once, a heavenly immortal from level nine descended and almost wiped out the entire level one!”

He went on, “I remember level three was obliterated by a golder immortal. But over time, cultivators emerged again, and life went on. Level three remained. And that golder immortal got punished by the Heavenly Law, both body and soul were destroyed. The celestial realm has its own rules. Even if you’ve got the power to destroy realms, you’re not allowed to do it.”

Jared listened carefully. He knew far too little about how this realm worked. Reidan stood nearby, soaking in all the information too.
