Leaving Nine Realms
"Grandpa master, my father Moore Xuanyuan..."
"Tark, about your father, I think the best narrator is your mum." The old man replied, "There are too many questions that cannot be answered one by one today. I think you will have the opportunity to get the answers later ."
"My mum?" Tark was startled. This title had appeared in his mind countless times seemed to be more meaningful today.
"Yes, I think it's time for you to find your mum's whereabouts, Tark, come and sit down..." the old man said, with his left arm stretched out, palms forward, and fingertips downward. Tark sat face-to-face with the old man, put out his right palm, fingertips upward, and touched the old man's palms. He suddenly felt a continuous internal force input from his palms. After about half a cup of tea, the old man got up and touched Tark's Baihui Acupuncture Point with his left palm...
"Tark, you have gained all my Kungfu power I accumulated for twenty years, and I hope you can practise every day and run smoothly as soon as possible." The old man murmured.
"Grandpa Master, you..."
"I'm fine, don't worry. I have been instructed by my master Luke in this life, and I am full of skills from the Xuanyuan family, and now I have fully returned to the bloodline with no regrets."
Tark had already burst into tears.
"Tark, this is a booklet called 'wind and cloud notes'. It records many knowledge points plus the varieties that have occurred in the past hundred years, as well as some of the current situation and essentials of the Central Plains. You should keep it with you, if you don't understand or want to know something, maybe the above will give you some hints."
"Tark really don't want to leave you, and you need someone to take care of you while you recover your energies after you passed to me..."
"Good boy, this ninth realm floating city is the safest place. I will take care of myself. Don't worry." The old man smiled slightly. "Your mum belongs to the Jupitian tribe of the Central Plains. After the disaster, the Jupitian tribe's colony is in the north, the specific location is indicated in the booklet. For safety reasons, you should still use the name 'Tark Yuan' temporarily instead of Xuanyuan..."
Tark bid farewell to the old man, descended from the ninth realm, and returned to the first realm in the valley.
After the catastrophe, people not only could choose freely where they wanted to live no matter what five element tribe they are belonging. Therefore, the first realm is a place of multi-ethnic and multi-tribal living area, where people from all different tribes of Aquarine, Venusine, Marinee, Jupitian and Saturnese live together. People can come and go freely as long as they know the access of the waterways leading in and out of the Nine Realms. There is a lot of traffic, people coming and going, and it is very busy in the street. After the country's demise, such things as paper money disappeared, the electronic currency and digital currency that replaced paper money were also unusable due to the paralysis of the internet. Only in the first realm's museum paper money such as US dollars, British pounds, and Chinese yuan are still on exhibition. Precious metals, gold etc. have become currency circulating on the market again, and the rest is bartering in the free market.
Tark didn't stay in the market, but went straight to Bellyband 's house. As soon as he entered the yard gate, he saw Bellyband was drying clothes. "Bellyband!" Tark yelled, "Go away, I have told you how many times, I am not allowed to call my nickname again." The girl who spoke was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long eyebrows and crimson eyes, beautiful features, and a stunning body shape. She is slim, with a slender waist and long legs. "Hehe, I'm just not used to it, it's so awkward to call your name," Tark said with a hippie smile, "Besides, there are heaps of names to choose, why you were given such a name Yvonne Lo, you see that you are so temperamental, and you have such a deep and gruff voice, didn't you ruin the good name?" Yvonne immediately became angry, chased after him, and hit his head with the clothes in her hands, yelling in her mouth: "You bastard, I don't know what I did wrong to make you mine friend, I'm really pissed off..."
The two played for a moment, Tark held Yvonne's hand with his hand and said, "Stop making a fuss, tell you something, I want to borrow your navigator." When the girl heard it, the fight became more fierce. "Anything good on you? I barely see you, now you come to tease me, I've got nothing to lend!" Tark smiled: "that poor thing has been under the bottom of the box for more than ten years, I bet there are maggots on it now." Tark told her that he was going to find his mum, Yvonne stopped and thought for a while then said: "It's okay to lend you, but there is a condition." Tark didn't say anything, but raise his eyebrows and nodding, meaning to let her continue, "Take me with you." Yvonne said.
Tark deliberately pretended not to hear clearly, and then asked: "What is it? I didn't hear clearly, just say it again." Yvonne jumped three feet high: "Your sister me is going too! It's said to be fun outside the Nine Realms, I 'm gonna see it."
Tark waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult. First, you are a female, and I am a male, it is not convenient; second, how do I introduce you to my mum?" Yvonne said, "Hey, mouth is on your face, it's your job to give an excuse." Tark winked his eyes and said: "Girlfriend?" "You bastard, I know you have nothing good to shoot, dare you to play with me again, I am gonna tear you into pieces." Yvonne said so, while her face was blushed. "you can come with me, but you must promise me one thing: talk less but do more jobs ." Yvonne thought for a while and said: " Deal."
The next early morning , they started and decided not to bring many luggage. After leaving the Nine Realms and coming to the sea, Tark used the fish riding skills taught by the old man, and quickly he found a barracuda-like fish, and rode on it with Yvonne. With the guidance of the navigator, they quickly found the direction.
Because the water near the shore is relatively shallow and the fish are not fast, they swim eastward first, and then turn back north after half a day. Tark has the ability to hold his breath and also has the Armor to protect and boost, when the fish swims slowly, he would dive below the sea surface, leaving Yvonne on the fish, swimming side by side. Stopped here and there along the way, rest when they saw any island, and enjoyed a relaxing time.
