The First Cultivator - Changing Existence - Chapter 703

Chapter 703: Arriving at the Natural Empire -703 Chapter 703: Arriving at the Natural Empire -703 “It seems that this storm is not going to stop anytime soon, and may in fact increase in intensity.

We need to protect the animals and stay inside of the carriage for the time being.” Skymender nodded.

He and Skybelle immediately began to untie the animals from the front carriage and bring them around to the back of the first carriage, where they unfolded some things and formed a shelter that would stop the wind and the rain from battering the animals.  Then, they entered the first carriage.

The first carriage was elegantly made, as expected of something used by members of the Imperial family.

It was quite large, with more than enough room for even five people to comfortably lay down.  There was a table, a bed, and a few seats.

The Imperial Scholar sat at the table, writing things down on a piece of paper.

Skymender looked over, and saw him doing math.

It was extremely complicated, though Skymender understood most of what was being written down despite it being new to him.

“Might as well teach you a bit about weather calculations while the storm continues.” The Imperial Scholar said.

Skymender nodded and came over, sitting down next to him.

The Imperial Scholar began to explain the basics, such as measuring what needed to be measured and the basic calculations.

When the storm had still not stopped, he went deeper, explaining even harder to understand things.

Skybelle didn’t even bother trying to understand what was going on, sharpening her sword while sitting down.  A few hours passed, and the Imperial Scholar held up the paper.

“It looks like the storm should end in five hours.” Although it seemed like a lot of work for such a small amount of information, this was basically seeing into the future through math.

In addition, he had calculated it with an extremely small amount of information.  They waited for five hours, the Imperial Scholar taking this opportunity to teach him a bit, before the storm stopped.

They tied the animals back to the front and began to ride.

The Imperial Scholar sat in the front, teaching Skymender some things, while Skymender controlled the carriage.

Skybelle sat back on top of the carriage.

They continued for a few days like this, moving at an incredible speed.

If they were to crash or fall off, they would be seriously injured.

For someone like the Imperial Scholar, who was old and frail, he would most likely die.

After a few days, the constant strong wind in their faces was starting to get to them, and the Imperial Scholar and Skymender put up a windshield, which was just a durable piece of glass connected to the carriage and put in front of them.

It had to be said that the Imperial carriages were quite advanced.

Their journey continued smoothly.

Over the course of a week, they only had to deal with bad weather a few times, and none of it had been bad enough to make them stop.

As they moved farther, the roads continuously got worse.

Naturally, this far away from the Empire, it was costly and mostly unnecessary to maintain roads.

The roads were built with a long lasting concrete, but even that would show signs of wear over time.  They were currently in unowned territory.

Technically, the Faceless Empire loosely owned it, but nothing had been done here.

The only man-made structure was the road.  Their journey continued for 15 days in total before they finally entered the Natural Empire.

The roads slowly turned from rough to smooth.

After entering the Natural Empire, it only took a day to reach the Imperial Capital of the Natural Empire.

As their carriage arrived, they were greeted by a group of people.  Those surrounding them stared in awe as all three of them were invited to the Imperial Palace.

Among those present to receive them was this Empire’s Imperial Scholar.

However, just from the look on his face, it was clear that Fei Luzi was on a different level.

They were taken to the Imperial Palace, their carriages being brought along.

In the throne room, they met the Emperor.

Here, they also met the only Sword Master of the Natural Empire.  “Welcome, Fei Luzi.

It is an honor to have you here.” The Emperor said.

“Likewise, Natural Emperor.” The Imperial Scholar said.

Though he slightly bowed his head to the Emperor, he did not kneel.

After all, this was not his Emperor.  The Natural Emperor spoke again.

“We have much to talk about.

However, we should let you travelers rest.

I’ve set up the highest quality inn for you.

While you are here, anything you buy is on us.

Please enjoy, and we can talk tomorrow.”  The Imperial Scholar nodded.

They left the throne room.

They were led to their carriages, before them and their carriages were brought to a high quality inn.

The entire inn was rented out for them.

When the servants left, they all checked their belongings in the carriage to make sure nothing was missing and nothing had been tampered with.

Luckily, even the doors to the carriages hadn’t been opened.  “Since it wouldn’t be safe for any of us to be left alone, do you all want to do anything before the sun sets?” The Imperial Scholar asked.  Skymender looked around before speaking.

“Maybe we should go see how the Natural Empire is different from the Faceless Empire.”  The Imperial Scholar nodded.

“Alright, let’s go.” Taking all three carriages with them, they began to make their way around the Natural Empire.

Anyone who was educated and saw their carriage was stunned to see the crest of another Empire.

After all, it was extremely rare for an Empire to visit another Empire.

The importance of their presence here could not be underestimated.  Skymender looked out the windows while they moved along, trying to spot anything interesting.

Eventually, the Imperial Scholar pointed at a place, and the carriages stopped.  Getting out, Skymender saw a fancy restaurant up ahead.
