Chương 30: Situation in Nivarna Realm

"We have conducted several divinations and have discovered six talents, but to bring them to this realm would require us to pay a substantial price." One of the elders replied with a solemn face. Despite this he was still hesitant to continue talking and another elder had to take over.

"Yes! Patriarch, among them, two have been daicvered in the domain controlled by the demon clan. You know how the demon clan is not on good terms with humans, but due to fight over resources. If we want to gain anything through them, then the price we will have to pay will be very high, moreover you should understand that with those planes are occupied by the monster clan. Conflicts with humans will make it that getting involved with them."

As the elder spoke this one could see that he was indeed tired. The divisions in the Nirvana realm were very serious and for instance the existence of humans in some territories of demon clan is not something that can be considered new.

The number of planes was endless and even in the demon domain, perhaps there existed numerous planes and some which had humans. If it is talented how could they be willing to give such talent away, demon clan will even go all the way into creating some relationship and from the best examples seen, they let some intermarriages happen, tying them to their clans.

Demon clan is indeed capable of taking human form, marrying humans is not something new, and their conflicts in the end, concerns issues of resources. In some cases, monster clan, that is large in number exists in the planes, that are like lower level worlds, with low quality spiritual energy, resulting in limitations to the limit of strength that can be allowed in such places.

Since the interactions between monster and humans is not the best, in some planes, the Heavenly Mystic Pavilion might indeed think of some ways to enter and snatch talents, but the demon clan are not that easy to cheat. While the trial is being held, with intent to choose the best individuals, the organizations such as Heavenly Mystic Pavilion could at most be honest and wait, for the best to be taken before they even have a chance.

People from the immortal faction or even the others top ones can be shameless and steal from the preliminaries and nothing will be said or done, but they will suffer consequences if one faction decides to zoom in on them.

The only way out would be to ask help from another faction that is considered seeking food from a tiger's mouth. The Lord level factions can sneak anywhere in the planes without being discovered, in fact even their younger generations are sent in the planes to practice until their level reaches a certain stage are, they allowed back.

This is something that the pavilion will not do, since they are already aware that the strong will not give them a chance, and thus better to find ways and negotiate with the demon clan.

"Anyone has any idea on how we should handle this situation?" He asked the elders and seeing that none had a way forward, he said, "Lets send someone in the level of my disciple, better yet he should go and collect those two. We can use that talisman in the pavilion's vault."

"Patriarch! You cannot! We received that from a lord and..." Old Li did not wait for the old man to speak, before cutting him off.

"Our Pavilion is already like this and you guys are not even aware of the consequences of continuing without any changes. Let him go, there is no need to bring them, just have them perform the ceremony and guide them to cultivate. Is that okay?" He already could guess some of their worries and thus went ahead to give them some explanation.

The elders gathered seemed to go along with this plan, since the plan would not only protect them and avoid getting noticed by other factions, it also made sure that they could train six more geniuses. Regardless of the outcome at least one would succeed and benefit them, as for the trials, they were sure they would barely manage to get suitable candidates.

…

The planes mentioned could be understood as worlds, that exist inside the Nirvana Realm, and this world were not planets, rather small worlds in lower dimension, that had access to the same sun and moon as the Nirvana realm.

These worlds could in some way, be seen as pocket dimensions, but their size probably even tens to hundred times that of Earth, each containing some opportunities that are difficult even to find in the Nirvana Realm.

Factions seem to create some of their branches in such places, and set up measures to communicate with them and when opportunities arise there send the younger generation to compete for them.

Some even send their younger generation there for tempering, while others view it as pointless, such as the immortal factions and the Ancient clans. Immortal factions are good with formations, and can take advantage of it, to design illusionary planes, with even tougher challenges to temper the mind of their disciples, every now and then.

This method also has an advantage, in that, it does not push disciples into some actual life and death situations. The other reason is to avoid developing conflict with people from the lower dimensions for no reason, and this is passed down, no one can change it.

Experience from tempering is also tested to decide things such as promotion to level, and not all factions seem to approve of it, as it seems to not allow real death experience. The best example being Buddhism and Martial arts factions, that prefer to descend in the planes to temper themselves in actual life and death situations.

No one cares about the opinion of other factions on the operation of immortal faction, since their founder seemed to have his own ideas. Perhaps in the early stages' disciples are allowed to get themselves involved with many adventures even danger, but they protect the powerhouses they have through many means, all to ensure they do not hurt their foundations.

The application of clones, is one of the reasons, and the person that designed that technique did it in a way that limits other factions from being able to practice it even if they have it. Truth be told, one can pretend to mock the immortal faction, but they are very jealous of their lifespan in the end.

Take someone like Luo Wei for example, she likes to fight, and this improves her combat experience even without risking her life. In the period of time she gained the clone techniques, she has also become someone that is willing to visit the most dangerous areas in the Nirvana Realm, the forbidden grounds.

At the time, she was asked to go pick up Musk, she was also headed for another forbidden ground.
