Cloud fell silent upon listening to Tyrone's words. It was clear that he was being weighed down by his
troubles.
Jared asked quizzically, "What sort of sect is Cosmic Sect? Also, what is the Night Sea? Why would
there be magical items?"
When he saw the puzzled look on Jared's face, Yuven explained, "Cosmic Sect is a sect based on the
mainland of the eastern region that runs a transportation business with airships. As for the Night Sea,
it's a vast ocean that is as black as the night, hence the name. It's extremely mysterious as any aircraft
that flies over it might crash for no reason. Even demon beasts can't fly over it! Rumor has it that it was
the site of an ancient battlefield during the Celestial Battle. Back then, the battle was so brutal that
people believed the Night Sea was formed from the blood shed by cultivators and their souls. That is
why it has become a no-fly zone, and aircraft are banned from flying over it. In fact, it is extremely

Blown away by Yuven's explanation, Jared probed further, "The mainland of the eastern region? What
is that place?"
Yuven replied, "Mr. Chance, the eastern region consists of a huge mainland located on the eastern part
of the Ethereal Realm. Ethereal Realm is divided into five regions, the northern, eastern, southern,
western, and central regions. Just like the three kings and four archons of the beast race and the
various demon leaders, human cultivators are spread across various mainlands that are divided into
regions.
Each of the five regions is ruled by their respective governors. The northern region governor is in
charge of this region which we're in. It's just that the Ethereal Realm covers an expansive territory
where many of the regions intersect. This is where many conflicts between the different parties are
sparked."
Yuven added, "For example, Stellaris Sect and Cosmic Sect are in conflict with each other due to their
overlapping interest, resulting in the incident you've just heard. However, the governor doesn't interfere
in such trivial matters. Only large-scale conflicts or the resurgence of demons leading to chaos on the
mainland would cause the governor to send men to suppress it. In the event they failed, he would then
deal with it personally. To be honest, I've never seen any of the governors in the last hundred years and
not heard about them making an appearance. With time, people have even begun to forget their
existence. In spite of that, the borders of the five regions still remain, and from what we can see,
Cosmic Sect has come out of their turf to steal Stellaris Sect's airship business!"
Jared was awed after listening to Yuven describe Ethereal Realm's governance structure. He had not
expected to learn about the existence of governors.
After giving it some thought, however, he didn't find it surprising. Given how massive the Ethereal
Realm was, it would have long been destroyed by anarchy if some semblance of structure had not

However, Jared wondered if the governors of the five regions really existed since they had. not shown
themselves for over a hundred years.
"Do you know what the governors' cultivation levels are?"
Jared was curious as to how powerful those who ruled over such a huge territory were.
Shaking his head, Yuven answered, "I don't know. I've not seen or heard of them before. In fact, I've
not even heard of anyone who has seen the governors fight. I have a feeling that they've achieved
Immortal Realm. People like them dislike getting involved in worldly affairs and are probably more
concerned with ascending to heaven. After all, the problems of the common man are nothing to real
immortals."
"Immortal Realm..." Jared fell into deep thought. He couldn't fathom the extent of one's terrifying power
at that level.
Silence descended upon the airship. Cloud looked out the window solemnly. He had never felt such
pressure before.
