147 – Information On The Main Continent

Yang Feng looked at the giant blue rose, his eyes flashing with a touch of a peculiar glint: “Warlock College Antalya’s core energy source was an Ancient Energy Absorbing Tree, while Rose Garden’s core energy source is a Magic Energy Blue Rose. Although in terms of energy absorption, this Magic Energy Blue Rose is a long cry from the Ancient Energy Absorbing Tree, but it still has other miraculous properties; it’s precisely because of this giant blue rose that Rose Garden never ceases to give birth to female experts.”

Rose Garden only recruited outstanding genius females to join them; such a biased recruitment of new blood resulted in some challenges. Were it not for the fantastic abilities of the Magic Energy Blue Rose, then Rose Garden might not even have these three Great Warlocks.

In Rose Garden, the majority were females. When these females saw Yang Feng, this sole male, their inquisitive gases couldn’t help but gravitate towards him. Among them, there was no lack of young ladies throwing flirtatious gazes and blowing kisses at him.

In Rose Garden, women were respected while men were humbled. Their women were more passionate and unrestrained than women from other forces.

While following Clarissa, Yang Feng arrived below a seven-story-tall Warlock Pagoda, before being taken to the surrounding garden by Angelina.

Dephilia followed Clarissa into the Storm Rose Pagoda. Storm Rose Pagoda was the same as Clarissa’s home. For centuries, no man had ever taken a step inside.

Yang Feng took a deep breath, and lightly sighed within: “Such dense concentration of magic energy! The degree of concentration is four times that of Black Cottage’s elemental pool. In here, the concentration of magic energy is already this high; then inside the seven-story-tall Warlock Pagodas, to what extent would the concentration of magic energy reach there? So this is the gap in foundation.”

In Turandot Subcontinent, geniuses were as common as clouds, with some exceptional geniuses appearing ever so often. After thous geniuses promoted to Great Warlocks and established their own forces, those forces would experience a period of prosperity. But after those geniuses fall and if there was no qualified successors, then those forces could only gradually decline, before disappearing in the long river of history.

The six great Warlock groups had cultivation holy lands as well various other foundations, only because of this would they continuously birth Great Warlock rank experts and stand at the summit of Turandot Subcontinent.

All of a sudden, Angelina gave a somewhat complicated sigh: “Snow White Madam turned out to be your guard, that truly goes beyond my expectations. Yang Feng, it seem like your uncle, Yang Ye, is really fond of you.”

Yang Feng smiled as he thought within: “Yang Ye is me and I am Yang Ye. Its only natural that I wouldn’t maltreat myself.”

“This is Green Cloud Immortal Tea from a Warlock empire in the eastern main continent known as Dachu Empire, have a taste of it. Angelina clapped her hands lightly, and a maid holding a few cups of steaming hot tea handed them Yang Feng and entourage respectively.

Yang Feng took a slight sip of the Green Cloud Immortal Tea, a bitter taste swiftly spread trough his tongue. But in the next moment, a fragrant aroma swiftly spread in his mouth, before a warm current spread through his entire body, rinsing his flesh.

Yang Feng’s eyes flashed with a touch of a peculiar glint. He first praised and then said ostentatiously: ” Such a good tea, it’s such a nice treasure! Do you have more of this Green Cloud Immortal Tea? Name a price.”

Angelina, with great elegance, took a sip of the Green Cloud Immortal Tea. She comfortably exhaled a long white breath, and then said with a smile: “This is a specialty from an eastern continent’s Warlock empire, with every tael of tea-leaves being worth at least 1 superior magic stone. Most importantly, the amount of tea-leaves that reaches our Turandot Subcontinent is very meager. Our Rose Garden can only buy 1 catty a year on average. We can’t sell you any of it.”¹

Yang Feng suddenly asked: “The main continent! Angelina, how can one leave for the main continent?”

The surface area of ​​the Turandot Subcontinent was already quite a few times larger than that of earth’s dry land; but in the World of Warlocks, it was nothing more than a small enclave. The main continent was the birthplace of Warlocks, with countless powerful Warlocks gathering there.

Turandot Subcontinent was merely a corner broken off from the main continent during a great war between experts. Regardless of whether it was resources or inheritances, it was far from being on the level of the main continent.

In Turandot Subcontinent, Great Warlock rank secret methods were not to be casually passed down; but in the main continent, they were regarded as nothing special.

“Turandot subcontinent and the main continent are separated by a sea, the Sea of Monsters. The sea is full of countless terrifying sea monsters as well as all kinds of very powerful members of Sea Clan. One would have to cross the Sea of Monsters in order to travel to the main continent.”

“In the Sea of Monsters, there are countless powerful monsters. Even Great Warlock rank experts, once they enter a nest of sea monsters, then only death would await them. Even Starry Sky Warlock rank experts, if their ships aren’t powerful enough, they also might fall in the Sea of Monsters.”

“Once every three years or so, there is a fleet crossing the Sea of Monsters, heading towards our Turandot Subcontinent from the main continent, and bringing all kinds of goods from the main continent to sell to us. In exchange, they receive large amounts of top-notch magic stones as well as our specialties. It is also the only chance for our Warlocks to depart this place.” Angelina unhurriedly informed Yang Feng of this big secret.

With regards to ordinary Warlocks, information on the main continent was confidential; but with regards to forces like Steel City, that had Great Warlocks overseeing them, they had the right to be privy to this information.

Yang Feng suddenly asked: “The season why there are no Starry Sky Warlocks and above in Turandot Subcontinent, is it because all those peak geniuses left for the main continent?”

Angelina sighed unhurriedly: “That’s right! Turandot Subcontinent is poor in resources; even if there are any peerless geniuses promoting to the realm of Starry Sky Warlocks, they won’t be able to go further than that; if they don’t go to the main continent, then they’ll stay in the realm of Starry Sky Warlocks for the rest of their lives, before slowly dying of old age. It’s not that there are no Starry Sky Warlock rank experts in Turandot Subcontinent, it’s that those experts had already left for the main continent.”

Yang Feng continued asking: “What are the restrictions on going to the main continent?”

Angelina said lightly: “4,000 top-notch magic stones can buy you a ship ticket to the main continent. Also, one ship ticket can only be used by a single person.”

Yang Feng became speechless. He currently only had 1,100 top-notch magic stones, and it wasn’t even enough to buy a single ship ticket to the main continent.

The high price of the ship ticket implied that only Great Warlock or Starry Sky Warlock rank experts could go to the main continent. Ordinary Warlocks couldn’t afford such an expensive ticket.

Yang Feng asked: “Warlock College Antalya’s several Holiness, why haven’t they departed for the main continent? With their strength, gathering several thousand top-notch magic stones shouldn’t be an issue.”

Angelina said with a smile: “In Turandot Subcontinent, Great Warlock rank experts are already at the peak; but in the main continent, they aren’t anything special.

While Starry Sky Warlock rank experts would only have a little bit of status. They’re already at the peak of Turandot Subcontinent, how could they go to the main continent to bow down their heads and play second fiddle to others?”

Yang Feng thought it over, and had to admit that Angelina’s argument was persuasive. Those Great Warlocks who were peak beings in Turandot Subcontinent, akin to forces of nature, enjoyed power and pleasures beyond those of monarchs; they naturally were unwilling to go to the main continent to bow down their heads and play second fiddle to others.

Unless one was a powerful Warlock who had practiced cultivation until the realm of Starry Sky Warlocks and was without a path to tread forward, or monstrous geniuses full of self confidence who wholeheartedly pursued the summit of Warlocks, only then might they board a ship to cross the Sea of Monsters and go to the main continent.

Yang Feng asked: “Are there currently any Starry Sky Warlocks in our Turandot Subcontinent?”

“I don’t know.” Angelina said with a slight smile: “Starry Sky Warlocks are aloof. In the last millennium, there had been no news of someone promoting to a Starry Sky Warlock. But I know of several Starry Sky Warlocks that had already left Turandot Subcontinent.”

Yang Feng changed the topic, his eyes lit up as he proposed: “

The Warlock convention held three days later, how about we join hands and open a handicap bet; only accepting bets with stakes on me being unable of reach the top and claim the first place in this Warlock convention, with the odds being 1:20? With such odds, it’s sure to attract many people to place bets. On my end, I’ll take care of the capital; while on your end, you’ll organize the manpower to spread the news and accept the stakes. If I win, I’ll give you 10% of the profits. If I lose, I’ll do the payout. Regardless of the outcome, you won’t suffer any losses.”

After he had killed a Great Warlock and obtained his wealth, Yang Feng was under the impression that he was very rich. But seeing that the ferry to the main continent required 4,000 inferior magic stones, only now did he realized that he was still very poor. He still needed to take hold of any chances related to gaining magic stones.

Angelina said with a sweet smile: “It’s a good idea, but are you sure you want to open the handicap bet here? Rose Garden’s policy with regards to public gambling is to levy an oppressive tax of 40%.”

Yang Feng looked around, and then whispered somewhat sneakily: “40%? Isn’t it too black-hearted? Can’t it be lowered? If the levy tax is too oppressive, then your portion of the profits would also be greatly reduced. How about I’ll give you 20% of the profits instead, would you be able to lift the tax?”

Angelina teased: “I’m sorry, but even tough I’m Rose Garden’s first successor, I still don’t have the authority to alter Rose Garden’s tax policy. If you’d opened the handicap bet in my territory, then I could lift the tax.”

Yang Feng muttered with a pained look: “That’s so black-hearted! But I’m an honest person; if it’s set to a tax of 40%, then so be it.”

“You’re so confident. Are you sure that you’ll get the first place in the Warlock conference? You should know, in this Warlock conference, experts are as common as clouds. Turandot Subcontinent’s peak experts of the younger generation, like Savage Claw’s Cookson, Warlock College Antalya’s Kashmor, Eyes of Justice’s Haldane, Black Dragon Pagoda’s Nulei, White Ivory’s Bagley, Rose Garden’s Dietrich as well as the just recently risen Tiger Lacci of the Southwest, Lion Cobham of the North, Battle Goddess Jenny of the South, all of them will gather here.”

“They all haven’t yet reached 50 years of age, yet have already reached the level-2 Warlock rank; coupled with the power of their secret treasures, they’re even capable of contending against level-3 Warlocks. You’re but a trifling level-1 Warlock, it’s impossible for you to prevail over them.” Angelina’s beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of a peculiar glint as she said with a grave tone.

The Warlock convention convoked by Rose Garden was only accessible to Warlock geniuses from the younger generation. ‘Warlock geniuses from the younger generations’ referred to Warlocks under the age of fifty.

Warlocks under the age of fifty who could reach the level-2 Warlock rank were extremely terrifying. It’s important to keep in mind that 90% of Warlock College Antalya’s elders had promoted to level-2 Warlocks over the age of one hundred.

With Cookson’s tender age, his cultivation of a level-2 Warlock and the power of his secret treasures; to be capable of contending against some weaker level-3 Warlocks with that cultivation and age, such strength could be rated as terrifying. There was no way a level-1 Warlocks could contend against them.

Yang Feng said with a confident smile: “I have my methods to deal with them! Moreover, I have absolute confidence in obtaining first place in the Warlock convention.”

Angelina stared at Yang Feng for a while, and then said with a sweet smile: “Since you’re that confident, then I won’t persuade you any longer. However, if you want to open a handicap bet, then a single handicap bet is not good enough for attract people. I think that you should open a few more handicap bets, such as for Cookson achieving first place, Kashmor achieving first place and so on. With a few more handicap bets, it will attract more people.”

Yang Feng’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: “Yes, you’re right. For the specifics, you can discuss them with my secretary, Eunice!”

Eunice was the one most capable among Yang Feng’s subordinates. She was specialized in handling everyday affairs, neatly managing the affairs pertaining to Yang Feng’s forces. Yang Feng trusted her a lot. Shi Xue was a cultivation genius and wasn’t interested in handling the everyday affairs.

Eunice said with a smile: “Dame Angelina, lets discuss the specific details.”

The two very cunning women went tit for tat as they fiercely argued, before slowly settling on a series of details.

Soon after, an organization in the name of Steel City, swiftly emerged in St. Rose City and opened handicap bets with a large amount of different odds.

The Warlock convention held by Rose Garden attracted countless Warlock geniuses. Apart from this, there was still a large amount of merchants and leaders from some small Warlock groups. All those people had many magic stones. After they saw the handicap bets opened by Steel City, they went to put large stakes on Warlock geniuses of whom they were optimistic of.

Merely two days later, Yang Feng had received over 110 million magic stones in stakes, most of which were put on him being unable to get the first place in the Warlock convention.

Three days later, Rose Garden finally permitted the entrance of Turandot Subcontinent’s Warlock geniuses into Rose Garden.

St.Rose City, in areas bustling with streams of people, magic screens switched on and transmitted live the scenes from the convention.

Rose Garden’s Warlock convention was held once every few years. Simultaneously, they would transmit the battles of those Warlock geniuses live. This was the most anticipated festival in St. Rose City.

Rose Garden’s Rose Garden Grand Arena capable of hold 200 thousand people, was already packed with Warlocks from all over.

At one end of the enormous arena was a small dais suspended in the air, with experts from the six great Warlock groups sited above it.

In Turandot Subcontinent, the six great Warlock groups stood far above the masses, everything was within their palms; their statuses far above those of other Warlock groups. This was a well known fact. During the various world-class events, there were a variety of formalities to showcase the status of the six great Warlock groups.
