Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-259

The southwest part of the Central Continent was ruled by the Wyan Dynasty. They were one of the 5 rulers that ruled the central continent. The 5 dynasties weren't at war with each other, but they weren't very lax with each other either.

They owned about one-fifth of the land while the other 4 empires owned the rest of the land. They had a fairly decent amount of strength and were middle of the pack in terms of strength.

The weakest of the 5 was the Sun Empire in the middle where most of the empire was simply desert and Qi was way too sparse for them to produce strong cultivators.

While the empires on the edges, like the Wyan Empire, had a lot more abundance of Qi and didn't need to worry about getting enough sun to become a desert.

Also being next to the seas opened up a massive source of food to these 4 empires that the Sun Empire could not hope to get.

The Wyan empire was full of nobles and commoners. Similar to Vilmore, one could use their contributions to become a noble. However, there were no distinctions between nobles and all were in equal standing, at least according to the system.

Obviously, a noble house of higher strength had more influence and thus indirectly more authority when compared to the noble houses that didn't have as many cultivators to threaten others.

The strongest amongst these houses were the Flyan house, the Libon house, the Udler house, and the Praxton house, which were together known as the Four Great Houses.

The Rigot family that Ender came from was a newly established Noble house starting with Ender's father, Ember Rigot.

Ning mused to himself about how different the central continent was from the Southern continent and the Northern continent. There were very few places in those two continents where the concept of noble and commoner existed.

Even if it did, it was outshined by the difference between a Cultivator and a mortal.

"I think you should really consider what profession you want to learn more in before you enter the Five Professions Academy, brother Ning," Ender said with a concerned face.

"Hmm…" Ning wondered.

The five professions in the academy's name referred to Alchemist, Formation master, Artifact creator, Talisman creator, and finally a Beast Master.

Ning had wondered for a second as to why there was no physician profession, as those were quite necessary in the world as well, but it had turned out that in the Central continent, Alchemists also did the job of physicians in part.

Alchemists were taught to recognize illness, diseases, and any other complications a human being might have and used pills instead of pastes to cure them.

Ning thought through these 5 professions and quickly decided what he was going to take. After letting Anya learn about Alchemy, he had also dabbled in it for a few years, albeit not enough to know how good he was yet.

"I think I will become an Alchemist as well," Ning said with a smile. He was looking forward to seeing if he could become a grade 10 Alchemist now.

"Are you joking, Brother Ning?" Ender asked seriously. Ender felt like this decision of Ning's was way too fast and that he was mocking him in a way.

Ning understood what Ender felt and quickly explained. "I have tried Alchemy before brother Ender, so I decided to properly learn it this time."

"Honestly speaking, I could enter the Beast Master's profession as well since I am a beast tamer as well, but I wouldn't know what to do in that case. There is only so much you can do as a Beast Master, while as an Alchemist, you can help so many people," Ning said.

Ender's eyes slowly changed from anger to surprise to genuine happiness. "Right? There are so many people you can help as an Alchemist. My sister said I was stupid to think of helping people in a world of cultivators where one kills the other for something petty, but I insisted on helping the others."

"I kept telling her that there have to be other people who follow my sentiment. It's good to see that I am not alone after all," Ender said.

Ning smiled listening to the words of a young man who had finally found a friend in his lone journey.

Ning looked outside the window and saw some trees along the forest, along with people who either flew through the air or rode on beasts.

The carriage reached an intersection in the middle of nowhere, where the incomers from 2 of the other roads joined the third to go towards the fourth.

Suddenly, the number of people going towards the city tripled, which surprised Ning quite a lot. He looked at the massive amounts of people as a question formed in his heart.

"Brother Ender, those two roads back there, where do they lead to?" he asked. He could see in the map where the roads led to, but there were just too many roads that connected to it to actually truly know the final destination of that road.

"Oh those roads are the two main highways to the Phoenix kingdom up north and the Rabian Empire to the east," Ender said.

'I thought so.' After looking through the map of where he was, especially after learning about the different kingdoms and nobles, he had realized that the Five Professions city was at the northeastern part of the Wyan empire, a location that was equally accessible by four of the five empires of the central kingdom.

Meaning, the Five Professions Academy was one of the most sought places in all of the Central continent where people from all over the continent came to learn in.

That was enough to show just how prestigious the academy was and what the continent thought of it. Realizing that he was on his way there too, Ning started getting excited too.

He hadn't felt this excited since he first became a cultivator all those years ago.
