Chapter 421: Sanchez's Warning
"Great Sage, you do understand the weight of your words, right?" Sam asked with a smile.
The monkey king also returned the smile and said.
"I do know what I am saying and I mean exactly that. You can ask me whatever you want and I will make sure it comes to you sooner or later."
Sam was smiling, but he was shocked inside. He doesn't know what to think of this promise. From the looks of it, the monkey would give him whatever he asked. Even if the current world couldn't handle the item, the monkey king would deliver it to him when he was in higher realms.
That is what he meant by sooner or later.
Sam took a deep breath and went into deep thoughts.
After sometime, he felt like anything materialistic is too shallow and at this moment he doesn't need anything for his immediate use. Sam felt like he has to ask for something he could use in the future.
"Great Sage, the rest of the candidates all have dimensional crossers and for the next palace of inheritance, we have to go to other dimension. But I don't have one.
Even then, I don't need a dimensional crosser. It would be better if I have a way to cross the dimensions with my friends. I hope you will show me the correct path to achieve this."
When the monkey king heard this, he frowned and said to Sam.
"Are you looking down on me? Such simple request? I can deal with it with my eyes closed. Are you sure you don't want some other thing?"
Sam shook his head with a bitter smile and said.
"Great sage. It is not that I am looking down on you. But any other reward you give me, might have too huge impact on me and my cultivation journey. I wouldn't be able to find my own path. No matter what great thing I ask from you, it will clear my obstacles way too easily.
There would be no growth without hardships. As for materialistic things, I am confident in myself that I can earn them myself, I don't need to bother the monkey king for such shallow things."
Sam said calmly.
The monkey king rubbed his chin with his fingers and said.
"Okay, tell me what do you want to know about this dimensional crosser and stuff and how do you want me to resolve this."
"Can you tell me how these Dimensional Crosser works and what is the suitable alternative for me to go with my friends?"
"Why are you stressing on with your friends so much?"
"I once travelled to the peak alone, I don't want to go there once again. The one I truly loved has asked me to change and I am changing now."
The Monkey king chuckled and said.
"I would be honest with you Sam. The twelve chosen ones are players and you are in a game. Just remember this. Other than that, you are not yet qualified to know anything else other than this matter.
As for Dimensional crosser, it was created by a bunch of us just for this game you are playing.
The dimensional crosser, is a dimensional traveller. It would be hidden within an independent space that is connected to the players.
They couldn't perceive it until the time is right. Once they reach a certain cultivation level or a certain time period was spent in a realm, they would be able to access.
But they couldn't just leave to whatever realm they want. They can only go to one realm and they cannot travel back to the realm they came from with the dimensional crosser.
There are upper realms which you have to visit and the order was already decided, so every time, they reached a certain cultivation realm or the time limit, they can leave the realm and enter the next realm that was predetermined."
He paused and looked at Sam.
"As for you, kiddo. You don't have any restrictions. At first, we all felt that it is ridiculous that Gambler wanted to withdraw the dimension crosser and give you a divine dimension with a load of knowledge.
We never ever considered the people from your planet earth in this game, as there is no cultivation.
But now, it seems gambler is not something.
If I am not wrong, if you go through the knowledge that you got from the divine dimension, you would be able to create a space tunnel which you could access from here to the next realm.
You might have heard of some boxes from your mentor. Those boxes not only contain the coordinates of the next realm, they will also have the formation core required to make the way to the next realm. You can even use that to return back anytime you want.
But that wouldn't be useful to the next realms. You have to do that all over again. But I can help you with that.
All you have to do is, attend the next Palace of inheritance in the next realm without fail. Then you can receive the thing that would enable you to travel between dimensions from Sanchez.
Are you okay with that?"
Sam bowed and replied.
"Thank you. Great- sage."
"No need to thank me. It is what I promised." The monkey king patted Sam on his shoulder and said.
"If you brats don't want to challenge me anymore, I will leave. I don't think you guys can win me anyway. You guys don't have enough experience or resolve."
The rest of them felt ashamed. Their peer has done what they couldn't do and the Monkey king himself said that what they are lacking is not talent, rather it is resolve and experience.
Sam is same age as them, that much they know even if they don't see his face. Then how can he have more experience and resolve. They are puzzled. But when the recalled the number of scars on Sam's body and the number of times he got wounded in the past two weeks, they didn't dare take such risks.
But they are not willing to accept their shortcomings that easily, their brains are trying so hard to find excuses for their incompetence.
The Monkey king waved his hand and they suddenly disappeared from their places and reappeared from in the hall where Sanchez is present. There the remaining candidates are also waiting.
But Sanchez is not concentrating on them, instead he is talking to the Great realm cultivators. Their session also ended along with the Nascent stage cultivators.
Unlike the previous time, there is not much schematic and complex test involved for the great realm cultivators. All they have is free for all and they can get whatever they can from the independent space they entered.
They waited for the great realm cultivators to leave.
And that wait took an hour. After the great realm cultivators left the place, Sanchez finally addressed them.
Sam suddenly felt like the surrounding space is disappearing and he was transferred to an independent space.
This is the same feeling experienced in the first palace of inheritance.
But this time, in this independent space ten more members appeared.
"Greetings Players, since you have all reached the Nascent stage cultivation level. You might have already spoken to your mentors. This time, only eleven out of twelve candidates came to the palace of inheritance.
The next palace of inheritance you would enter wouldn't be in this realm. Even though, the palace will appear every three years that is only for the Great realm cultivators and it is a small price the gods are willing to pay for using this realm as their starting stage.
As for the next palace of inheritance, you have to climb the next realm and compete with the geniuses from that realm.
You would be having the most difficult time of your lives ahead.
If I may suggest personally, I would advise you guys to not become each other's enemies. You guys can have a healthy rivalry no matter how intense that might be. But don't become archenemies. Because, there is a lot of journey ahead of you guys and you will face each other often than not.
But what I am giving you is a mere suggestion. After all, your future is boundless and I might have to address you as lords in the future.
So, one more suggestion is. Don't get involved with the forces of the lower realms and try to make trouble for yourself. You can cultivate, make a family and even wage a war for those forces, but make sure that you stay alive.
If you die for some selfish reasons like friends, family, force and favors. The gods wouldn't tolerate. You wouldn't die simply. Your lives are given to you by them and from now on, they are theirs to take. You cannot die without their permission. If you want more help to stay alive, then perform well in the Palace of inheritance.
If you die without fulfilling your duty, your soul and the souls of the family members would have to serve the lords to pay for that price.
Please keep that in mind."
With that all of them reappeared at the entrance of the cave.
