That night, after Lin Fan closed the store, he didn't immediately go back to the residence he had rented.
Instead he went through the Any Place Door to bring Momonga over to the new store since there was something he wanted to do today.
After the experience in the planar crack back in Water Pearl City, Lin Fan knew that his habit of saving up his points for a worst case scenario wasn't the right idea. He realized that if he didn't use them to become stronger now, they would just go to waste if something were to ever happen to him.
So other than using his points to learn different techniques and increasing his knowledge, Lin Fan had also splurged and bought access to another cultivation realm.
While it wasn't a top grade cultivation realm since that was something that was far beyond what he could afford at this time, it was still a high grade cultivation realm that was just below it.
This realm was one of the only high grade cultivation realms that Lin Fan had available to purchase since his store was only level one right now. If he wanted to have the option to purchase more cultivation realms, he had to unlock them first by upgrading his shop.
But even though this was the cheapest one that was offered to him, it still took most of his points to buy it. After saving up points for close to four months now, Lin Fan had spent all of that on a single cultivation realm.
Of course, he also made sure to leave several hundred thousand points just in case since he wasn't someone that would throw caution to the wind. He left several hundred thousand because just the cheapest item that was considered decent to Lin Fan, which would be the Legendary Realm, cost at least a million points.
Also he needed points to revive himself in the cultivation realms.
While it didn't cost him any points to revive pets, if he were to die, he would have to pay points to revive himself.
The reason why he resolved himself to buy a new realm was because he had reached the limit of what he could gain from the World of Elements and the Lich's Necropolis. These two realms were the domains of Angela and Momonga respectively, which meant that they had complete control over these realms.
When Lin Fan went to train in these realms, there wasn't any danger to him since both Angela and Momonga could control the environment that he trained in. Without any danger, it didn't stimulate the potential in him and he didn't experience any substantial growth. He did grow in terms of combat experience and cultivation, but it was just too slow for him.
That was why Lin Fan chose to get another unknown cultivation realm.
But of course, Lin Fan wasn't crazy enough to go into this unknown cultivation realm by himself, so he would be bringing along his two powerful bodyguards.
In these cultivation realms, Momonga and Angela were free to use their powers, which meant that he would be safe to a certain extent.
They would watch over him and wouldn't interfere unless his life was in danger, only then would they save him.
However, that would be a very common thing in this high grade cultivation realm.
Even the weakest subordinates of Angela and Momonga were already far stronger than Lin Fan, so for this high grade cultivation realm, it must mean that almost all the beasts there would be stronger than Lin Fan.
This was basically a babysitting job for Momonga and Angela and naturally neither of them would be willing to take such a job, so Lin Fan had no choice but to bribe both of them to come with him.
For Momonga, he had recently been getting into idol figurines, but of course he didn't have that much of the Blue Star Planet's currency. The currency he did have was on a much higher level than the Blue Star Planet, but it was also tainted with the aura of the dead, so there would be few people that would accept this. Not to mention that if he did use it, his identity might be exposed quite quickly since such a high grade currency would naturally attract the attention of the upper realm forces.
That was where Lin Fan came in.
Lin Fan was quite rich now with the profit that he earned from the store and the business that he ran on the side, so he had no problems giving Momonga the money. But of course, Lin Fan wouldn't give it to him for free, so Momonga was bribed into coming onto this trip.
For Angela, it was even simpler. Angela was a notoriously big eater and her favourite were sweets, namely cakes. Lin Fan used the same bribe as he always used, promising her new kinds of sweets that she never had before if she came.
After they were all gathered in the shop, Lin Fan brought out the star of today's trip, the Rock Nibbler.
It still hadn't developed the normal fear that the other pets would develop towards Lin Fan since he hadn't started its training yet. It had spent the entire afternoon in the special cages of this shop which was specially made to nurture pets, so it actually had quite the good impression towards Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan brought it out of the cage, it even nuzzled up against his hand, asking to be put back in.
However, Lin Fan used his cheat against beasts and soon the Rock Nibbler was doing its best to act cute to have Lin Fan use his suction force on it.
With everyone gathered, Lin Fan had the system open up the portal to the cultivation realm and they all set off.
The cultivation realm that Lin Fan chose was called the Rock Field Realm.
According to the description of the system, this realm was a realm that was filled with naturally formed mountains that contained a variety of rock attributed beasts, which was perfect for the Rock Nibbler. It would gain knowledge on how to use special skills from fighting these rock attributed beasts, while also absorbing power from their core to enhance its own power since they were of the same attribute.
When they arrived in the Rock Field Realm, they appeared on a rocky plain with mountains surrounding them.
Lin Fan first started by getting their bearings and Angela just followed behind him. However, for Momonga, the moment he appeared in this realm, he couldn't help slightly knitting his brows.
Momonga then asked, "Lin Fan, how does your master choose these realms that he sends you to?"
Lin Fan had long expected them to ask this, he just never expected it to take this long. Lin Fan replied, "My master looks for the concentration of energy on each planet and if one has a suitable concentration of energy, he sends me there to train along with the pets of the store." Then he asked, "Why do you ask this?"
Momonga's brows knit even deeper as he said, "I don't know why, but this realm feels similar to me. However, the strange thing is that there are only beasts that haven't gained intelligence living here."
Lin Fan looked at Angela and she gave a nod in response. Then he asked, "Is there a problem if there are only beasts living here?"
Momonga shook his head, "It's not a problem per say, but if this planet feels familiar, it should mean that I've been here before. However, I wouldn't come to a planet without any special resources like this without a reason and generally that would mean an intelligent being here worth visiting. So why does this planet feel familiar?"
Lin Fan didn't know what to say to this since he couldn't answer this.
However, Momonga wasn't looking for an answer from him either. After a bit of silence, he said, "I'm going to look around for a bit, you just stay with Angela and train."
Lin Fan didn't mind since he did only need one of them to help him, so he just gave a nod.
With that, Momonga set off by himself to explore.
…
On another part of the Rock Field Realm, there were two cloaked figures that were moving through a cave.
One of these figures was petite while the other one was quite tall.
These two carefully moved through the cave with their torches raised up, as if they were expecting a trap to trigger at any moment.
However, nothing happened as they made their way through.
Eventually, they made their way through the cave and reached a large room.
The moment they entered the room, there were torches on the wall that suddenly lit up, revealing the only thing that was in the center of the room. It was a totem that went from the floor to the roof and all along the totem were various faces carved into it.
The smaller figure said, "The rumours were true, we've finally found it."
The taller figure however reached their hand out to stop the smaller figure and said, "Young master, please calm yourself. This isn't the time to lose your head, we still need to be careful."
The smaller figure had been about to rush forward to the totem, but once they were stopped by the taller figure, they calmed down.
The smaller figure gave a nod before reaching into their cloak and pulling out a key that was attached to a string tied around their neck. Then that smaller figure said, "I've finally found it."
