After numerous failed attempts, Severin did not force himself to try again. He relaxed and waited for the day of the tournament.
Severin was cuddling with Gilda on a rocking chair. He had in his hand a book called The 13 States of Bluerealm. It was a travel diary, and the story had captured Severin's attention.
Several hundred years ago, there was a practitioner called Charlie, who was also a monk. He wrote about his travels, which started from Nontwo City to the other states in Bluerealm.
Not only did it mention the rank of each force in the Bluerealm, but it also had the name of the strongest practitioner, the war between Southsky and the monster, evil practitioners invading the western region, and so on.
It had broadened Severin's knowledge of Bluerealm and let him know how huge Bluerealm was. Bluerealm consisted of 13 states and was situated on a huge piece of land that had many strong practitioners.
According to the diary, Southsky was famous for having the strongest sect and two reputable families. The Grandiuno Sect guarded the sacred lake. It was said that it was founded more than ten thousand years ago. Rumors had it that the sect's founder had ascended to the celestial realm many years ago.
The other families were not weak either. The weakest members had at least the saint attainment.
When he put down the book, he was still fascinated by what was written in the book. He sighed and said, "Nontwo City is a small city. There's only so much you can achieve here."
His goal was to be stronger. So strong that he would one day ascend to the celestial realm.
