Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 818

818 /841

After Sebastian and the others passed through the portal, they found themselves inside a cave.

However, it was clear to everyone that this wasn't the same cave they had entered earlier. The rocks here were dark brown, and their shapes and sizes varied considerably.

"Do you all feel it? The natural energy here is much denser!" Elsa exclaimed in awe.

Lorenzo nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's even more concentrated than the energy in the Infernal Gate's Spirit Gathering Formation. It seems we've truly entered the Perpetual Empire."

Everyone except for Sebastian seemed excited.

For them, the Perpetual Empire had always been a place of legend, which was a paradise for cultivators, where one would achieve immortality.

However, Sebastian knew better. There was no such thing as immortality here. The abundant spiritual energy merely made cultivation easier, allowing one to reach higher levels faster.

With higher cultivation came an extended lifespan, which was the real benefit of the Perpetual Empire.

There were significant downsides as well. The rules of this world were simple. It was about the survival of the fittest. The strong ruled, while the weak lived at their mercy.

Although a monarchy existed, it barely imposed any limitations on the powerful.

The weak could only live from hand to mouth in their own shelter, but those without it were often preyed upon.

Sebastian had two reasons for coming here. The first, and most important, was to find his mother.

He believed she was still alive, and the Seraphic Tear Pendant she left him had turned out to be the key to the portal leading to the Perpetual Empire. The way it guided him here felt like a sign.

The second reason was cultivation. It was undeniably easier to train in this empire.

In the previous world or even the underground world, becoming a demigod was nearly impossible. Yet, while demigods were still considered powerful in the Perpetual Empire, they were not uncommon.

For example, the bandits on Squalus Isle had three demigods among them.

From what he'd heard from the pirate, this world also had supreme masters who surpassed the demigod level. They were capable of plunging the world into darkness or destroying the whole world with a single act of fury.
