Chapter 3796 Sand Waves

"It seemed like, I am not the only one," I said to myself as I looked at people, I could sense.

I am only a few hours away from the Yiru city and I could sense a lot of people around me. I am a lot. It is not just Sovereigns and Earth Sovereigns, but I had also sensed a lot of Sky Sovereigns.

The spatial disturbance has made the teleportation formation useless.

This is the first western city, whose teleportation gate is working. So, is obvious that people will throng in here; I hope, this large number of people won't delay my journey.

Hun!

A few hours pa.s.sed, and I saw the city. Standing in desert hills, made of red stone. Yiru means red in the local language; the city's name is red, which is apt considering all I could see is a different shade of red.

Soon, I reached the gate and revealed my faint aura, which had given me smoother access to the city.

It is a small city, with only two teleportation gates and I am walking toward the booking office, to book one.

I won't mind paying extra if it gives me a quick slot.

I walked into the office and appeared at the window for the Sky Sovereigns, which are manned by the bored-looking Sovereign with black horns.

His expression didn't change, even when I appeared in front of the counter.

"What is the cost of the journey to the nivan city?" I asked. "Fifteen hundred jaum crystals," he replied. I couldn't help, but get surprised; it is four times the standard rate.

"I need the quickest ticket," I said.

"Five thousand jaum crystals for the slot of next morning," he replied with the same bored expression.

"I am willing to pay more. If I get the slot sooner," I said, to which the man shook his head.

"No, it is the earliest," he replied.

I didn't say anything further and placed the storage ring in front of him. A minute later, I walked out of the office.

I turned to the teleportation gates. Only one is working, while the other is being repaired.

As I had said, Yiru is a small city, and teleportation gates here are quite low-level. They are mostly for the Sovereigns, but could also handle a limited number of Earth Sovereigns and Sky Sovereigns.

They have been used quite a lot and suffering the damage. Still, I wish I could go now, but unfortunately, I have to wait.

I took one last glance and walked away. I didn't go to the inn but go to the information market. Because of the spatial interference, the information I have isn't up to date as I like it to be.

I also tried my luck to get a slot from the black market, but no such luck.

Seeing that, I booked a suite in the hotel and slept till the evening. It had been three nights since I had slept; I had been trying to make up for the time, I had lost in the tower.

I felt good when I woke up six hours later. After I freshened up; I walked out of the hotel.

There are a lot of things, I have to do, but decided to take a stroll. The city is small, but it has its charm and culture. The food is good; I tried many things. Tested ingredients I had never heard about and brought enough to last me for years.

I love collecting new ingredients as much as I love cooking.

There is a huge collection that keeps growing every month. This travel had been long, but it had given me an opportunity to collect a vast number of things.

Now, I am only a month away from reaching my destination. I hope, there will be no distance, I like to reach the port city without any problem.

I stroll the city till the ten before returning to my hotel room.

I didn't waste any time and lay on the bed before closing my eyes. A moment later, I was in my core.

"It should be ready for its first trial soon," I said as I appeared by my clone and looked at the data in front of it.

A lot of my projects are reaching the deadline. Three are the most important, with each having a huge impact on my future.

This one is the most delicate; it is not something I have done before, but I have to do it before I reach the Earth Sovereign. It is far, but not far enough with the steady progress, I am making.

I stayed by the clone for two hours, before walking into three hives and collecting the honey and royal jelly.

Every day, my collection is growing. I have collected quite a lot of honey, and its quality is good enough that people will kill to get their hands on it. Especially, the one being made from nectar of metal essence fruits.

It is out of the world and extremely powerful. So, that, I will use it for my practice, till I reach the Earth Sovereigns.

I checked the health of the bees, and it is good. Every new generation of them is better than the last. If I compared bees of the current generation to the first; there will be a vast difference between them.

After I finished with the bees, I went to the library and worked there till it was morning.

I then got off the bed, freshened up, and ate, before started practicing.

Hun!

One hour and fifty-six minutes later, I finished practice and was about to walk toward the shower to wash off all the grime when I suddenly stopped.

All the grime around me vaporized and armor appeared on my body. I started releasing soul waves as I appeared by the window and looked out a giant sand wave.

My expression turned bad seeing it. It is not a natural sand wave; it is not coming from a single direction, but all.

"It seemed like, I wouldn't be able to reach the port city without any problem," I said and stepped out of the suit.
