Three days later, Aldrian was still on his journey, continuing to teleport. For the past three days, he had been following the direction of the faith energy without any problems or obstacles. The only thing that stopped him was the need to rest occasionally to replenish his energy and confirm the direction of the faith energy.

When he wanted to rest and restore his energy, he simply stopped in space and cultivated.

Although the heaven and earth energy in space was much sparser than within an atmosphere, he had his own domain, so he didn't have any difficulty replenishing his energy. He just needed to create his domain, and his energy would be restored in no time.

Throughout his journey, the scenery accompanying him was the star-filled space and various celestial objects, while beneath him stretched the vast ocean that separated the Barisan Continent from the others.

From his vantage point, he could already see the next continent in the distance.

The Barisan Continent truly resembled a lonely land, surrounded by a vast ocean and distanced from the rest of the world. He understood why people from outside regarded it as a mysterious continent.

It was not only unreachable due to the protective formation built by Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan, but also because of the sheer distance required to reach it.

The fact that even he, who traveled through teleportation technique, had to spend three days to reach the next continent not only showed how far the Barisan Continent was from the rest, but also how massive this star truly was.

Aldrian kept approaching the next continent and finally stopped once he arrived above the vast land, which was much larger than the Barisan Continent. He could see that interstellar activity here was far more prevalent, with many interstellar vessels coming and going from various parts of the continent.

He paused for a moment in thought before deciding to visit. He felt it would be worthwhile to understand the situation of another continent during his journey and to learn new things about this world.

The feeling reminded him of several years ago, when he had traveled across the Barisan Continent and learned so many new things. That same feeling returned to him now, bringing a smile to his face as his adventurous spirit ignited once again.

He teleported down toward the continent, descending until he entered the atmosphere again. Eventually, he reached a region where he could see a vast forest stretching below. However, he had no intention of going there, what he needed was a place of civilization to gather information.

His gaze swept into the distance, and he spotted a large city, prompting him to dash in that direction. After nearly a minute of teleportation, he finally arrived near the city and stopped atop a tall tree not far from it.

The city was surrounded by high walls, much like the cities on the Barisan Continent, built as a means of defense. He also sensed an invisible barrier covering the entire city in the shape of a dome. Aldrian guessed it might be a defensive or a detection formation, designed to prevent infiltration.

Anyone who wanted to enter the city would have to go through the gate if they didn't want to be treated as an intruder.

He could not help but feel amazed, as the barrier also had defensive properties against spatial laws, preventing anyone from infiltrating by using space-related techniques. In other words, anyone trying to enter the city through teleportation or any spatial method would still be detected.

From what he had seen from the sky, the city's size was roughly comparable to the capitals of the empires in the Barisan Continent.

He then turned his gaze toward the massive gate, where many guards were stationed, diligently checking everyone who wished to enter the city. The guards collected an entrance fee, asked each person about the purpose of their visit, and issued a permit for entry.

After thinking for a moment, Aldrian teleported again, this time to a spot near the city wall where no one was around and where he remained outside the barrier's range. He then created his domain there, which now stretched over six hundred kilometers with himself at the center, and then teleported into the city.

The barrier might detect any spatial disturbance, but there was no way it could sense his domain's teleportation ability.

He appeared beside a road near the wall, startling nearby people who were stunned by the sudden appearance of a figure. At this moment, Aldrian was wearing a black robe with the hood drawn up to conceal his features, so no one immediately noticed his handsome face or his conspicuous long red hair.

Ignoring the curious gazes, Aldrian walked aimlessly, letting his steps carry him as he began gathering information with his senses. The people, too, quickly lost interest, after all, robed travelers weren't rare here, and the fleeting sense of cultivation power they had caught for a split second was enough to send chills down their spines.

Someone at the Pseudo Immortal Establishment stage held a high status, so most people preferred to avoid Aldrian altogether to prevent trouble or risk offending him in any way.

Aldrian continued walking like an ordinary passerby, keeping his cultivation hidden to avoid drawing attention. The brief leak of his aura earlier had been a warning for others to ignore him and mind their own business.

He kept moving through the streets, gathering as much information as he could. After more than thirty minutes of walking, he finally understood the general situation of the city.

This city was called Avon City, located within the Dukedom of Hazerdolf, under the rule of the Martal Empire, the largest empire on this continent, known as the Orian Continent.

The moment he heard the name Martal Empire of the Orian continent, he immediately remembered that outsider who had introduced himself after Aldrian defeated Tarius.

Rozwald Avilandis, the Emperor of the Martal Empire.

To think he had landed right in that man's empire.

This was a large city and the closest one to the capital of the Hazerdolf Dukedom, which explained its grandeur and the presence of so many powerful cultivators. To be honest, he was genuinely impressed by the average cultivation level here. Once again, it made him realize just how weak the Barisan Continent truly was.

All throughout his walk, he had already seen many Emperor Stage cultivators. Compared to the cities on the Barisan Continent, the Emperor Stage here felt as common as the Duke Stage there.

He could sense a few at the Pseudo Immortal Foundation Stage inside certain buildings, though he had yet to find anyone above that level. He now also had a general understanding of what to do and what to avoid in this city, but he still needed much more detailed information about the continent itself.

This continent was the neighboring land to the Barisan Continent, and he wanted to learn more about its details.

He soon arrived at a tall building with a sign that read Information Center, which, from what he had heard, functioned similarly to the Information Guild in the Doria Empire. There was no better place than this for anyone looking to gather information.

After entering, he immediately took his queue number and was directed to one of the receptionists, who was still in the middle of assisting another person. While waiting, he glanced around, observing the bustling activity within the building while also spreading his senses throughout the area, which was still within the range of his domain.

The strongest cultivator in the building was a peak Pseudo Immortal Foundation Stage stationed on the top floor, a clear indication that this was no ordinary place or organization. The methods used here weren't much different from those of the Information Guild in the Doria Empire.

People could request general information for free, and the Information Center even generously provided information crystals containing that basic knowledge.

If someone wanted specific information, they had to pay a fee. And if it was something the Information Center didn't already have, they would investigate it, though that came with an additional cost.

This place was extremely popular for information gathering. Even people from other stars who visited the city would come here when they needed information, and such occurrences were not unusual.

For example, there were more than a dozen individuals from other stars in the hall right now.

Aldrian nodded to himself. He could take advantage of this kind of situation.

After waiting for a while, his turn finally came, and he walked over to the receptionist. A woman greeted him with a smile but paused slightly when she saw his handsome face. She blushed instantly and tried to suppress it.

Clearing her throat, she pushed aside her awkwardness and did her best to remain professional.

"Welcome to the Information Center of Avon City. What kind of information are you looking for? Depending on the level of the information, it may be free or require a certain amount of energy stones," she said politely, still trying to hide her blush.

"I want detailed information about this continent. Enough for me to understand key locations and know which families I should be aware of. A map with explanations would also be appreciated," Aldrian replied.

The woman kept smiling as she nodded.

"Alright, sir. Please wait for a moment," she said before walking to the back to retrieve something.

While Aldrian waited, he suddenly heard something interesting from one of the other receptionists, which made him glance in that direction.
