The Legendary F Rank

Chapter 363: Saftey.

Haru followed the cultivator inside the building to see that it was well illuminated but had a simple design. It was surrounded by a pond so the sound of running water could be heard from below the wooden floor and there was a red rug in the middle where an oak table sat upon it with a golden zither on top of it.

'So that's the instrument I heard? He was capable of gathering so much Qi from just a few notes played on a zither What kind of monster is he?' Haru asked himself as he was beginning to question just who this man was. 

He wasn't sure what stage his cultivation was at but it was certainly something that Haru couldn't comprehend since he had yet to learn exactly what the cultivation levels were called after the nascent soul stage.

It wasn't necessary for him to learn back on earth given that he wouldn't meet anyone more powerful but now that he was in the middle realm there were bound to be plenty of people that have cultivated their strength to the point where they could wipe out a whole city back on earth with just the slash of a sword.

It was crazy to think that only a few years prior Haru was just a regular human with no knowledge of cultivation but through the guidance he received from Lao and Li Jun he had managed to make it to another realm within five years of starting his journey.

Haru watched as the man sit down behind the zither and run his finger across one of the strings causing it to hum a little bit as the voices of the guards outside became audible once again and they shouted out as they demanded an explanation from the man but with a simple wave of his hand they all shut up as loud bang could be heard nearby.

Haru turned his head as he acknowledged the sound to which the cultivator across from him sighed and held out his hand.

"Please, take a seat. I will tell you what I meant." He said as Haru turned to face him for a few moments to see that he was being genuine. Haru then sat down at the opposite side of the table and faced the unknown cultivator.

"So since you just arrived here I should probably tell you the situation on the planet. I'm not sure if you have heard from anyone but this whole planet is under the control of a trading organisation called the Kastron star alliance. 

Which goes without saying that this star system is known as the Kastron Star system. The only thing about it is that this star system is surrounded by a gigantic asteroid field that has completely blocked all communication with the rest of the realm.

It wasn't always like this though. It only happen quite recently when a fugitive from the upper realm was escaping from the divine sects. They blue our entire neighbouring star system which caused the chunks of rock and debris from the planets to surround us, thus making it impossible for any of us to travel through the rest of the realm which has led to the downfall of strong cultivators since the planets here are constantly at war with each other despite being under the control of the same organisation.

It hasn't been announced publicly but everyone here that has been alive since the incident happened centuries ago all know that the wars that have started in recent times are just an excuse for the Kastron star alliance to gain more followers since they will only help the sects and clans that submit to them.

It's quite sad but the other planets have almost completely been destroyed through wars. We are lucky enough here to have a lot of strong cultivators that the star alliance won't dare to offend on their own. But as long as they keep gathering forces from the other planets it is only a matter of time before they declare war on the rest of us.

So with that said I regret to let you know that you got incredibly unlucky in ending up here. There are thousands of other star systems out there that are all doing fine. But given the fact that we are on the border of the lower realm and surrounded by asteroids no one has even noticed that we exist." The cultivator said as Haru sighed in relief.

"Why do you look happy about that? Didn't you hear what I just said? You are unlucky to be here since there is a huge threat of war breaking out in the next couple of decades. If you want to grow as a cultivator it would have been better for you to end up somewhere peaceful." The cultivator said as he looked at Haru with anger since he didn't seem to be taking the warning seriously.

"Oh, that is fine by me. A few decades is more than enough time to figure out a way to get out of here if war does break out. But I take it as the news from the other star systems hasn't made it here yet too?" Haru asked as the cultivator looked at him with interest as he spoke.

"What do you mean? Is there something going on out there? It's like you said. It's impossible for us to know what is going on in the rest of the realm." The cultivator said as Haru began to smile.

"Well, not long ago the demon clan declared war on the other clans. They have been on a mission to wipe out everyone that isn't a demon. They have already destroyed countless planets and killed millions of people across the realm. It's a blessing that I ended up here since I have a personal grudge against them. They would probably try to look for me if they knew where I was so the fact that I ended up far away from anyone's detection is amazing.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I was worried that I wouldn't have time to cultivate my own strength. But if there is really no news of what's going on then I should be safe for the time being." Haru said with a smile as he realised that he was probably in the safest place he had been for years.

Although it was only a matter of time until the demon clan found out he was still alive he was grateful for the time he had been given since ascending. But the other cultivator became even more interested in Haru after hearing his story and his ears perked up as he waited to hear more.
