The First Store System

Chapter 722: The Store Upgrading Quest(7)

The Xirin Empire was the mightiest force of the Human race. If not for it, humanity would have been at the lower end in the mid-tier races of the Primal dimension.

Since the Pocoso Empire was also a force belonging to humans, the destination coordinates of the continental traveling portal were set at the Xirin Empire.

As Aakesh and Lily moved into space at an unimaginable rate, he finally became aware of the light.

Just before Aakesh could breach that light, he suddenly found himself getting searched over by an invisible sense.

Aakesh understood it was the throne of the Xirin Empire. If the will of the throne sensed any danger from Aakesh, it would expel him.

Fortunately, it only sensed the cultivation base.

Since Aakesh hadn’t activated the chameleon skill, the will found his exact cultivation at the moment, intermediate Immortal.

This cultivation was no danger to the stability of the throne, so there was no reaction from the will, but when Lily’s turn arrived, a blare started ringing in the traveling junction.

In no time, an army of Immortals surrounded the traveling junction as they waited for the source of the warning blare.

Lily hadn’t disguised her strength, so the will of the throne failed to check her cultivation. Lily’s strength was only less than Aakesh’s when it came to her power in the Primal dimension.

A smile spread around Lily’s face as she found herself to be the reason behind the chaos, while Aakesh could only smile wryly.

Aakesh had already expected things to go this way since the Xirin Empire sat on the most valuable material on the Vajji continent. That amount of resources was impossible for the amount of strength the Empire had, but due to the protection set by Arjuna, they were able to peacefully rule over the land.

If anyone could enter the city, then the Xirin Empire would have already fallen, and some other Empire would have taken its place.

Forget the number of Immortals waiting to pounce on him as soon as he exited the space; the space also had turned dangerous for him.

If not for Aakesh’s complete mastery over the element of space in the Primal dimension, he would have gotten cut into countless pieces.

“State your identity!!!”

As soon as Aakesh and Lily exited the space, they heard a cold voice ringing in their ears.

Aakesh had already told Lily to control herself, so she didn’t speak anything but only comfortably slept on Aakesh’s head.

Despite Arjuna’s protection over the Empire, Lily had more than enough strength to raze the Empire to the ground, so she didn’t have to worry about the opponents.

The only worry she had was for Aakesh. He was currently an intermediate Immortal, and the most he could defeat was peak Immortal. If someone higher than that attempted to harm Aakesh, he would have no choice but to escape.

If he failed to escape, he would have to release his energy, which would result in the failure of the quest.

Lily had no interest in seeing whether Aakesh would remember her or not if they started over. Even though Aakesh promised her that he wouldn’t forget her even if he started over again, Lily didn’t want to test his promise.

At the same time, she couldn’t attack or help Aakesh as it would be counted as her interference in the quest, and the result would be the same as earlier.

“Eh! Store owner!”

A familiar voice to Aakesh rang in the area. Aakesh looked up at the source of the voice, only to find Lin Ren looking toward him with a surprised expression on his face.

Lin Ren was the current Emperor of the Xirin Empire, and at the same time, he was also a customer of the store. Even though he had only become a customer to the store for a few days, he already respected Aakesh.

“Weapons down!”

“Spells down!”

“Disperse!”

The next moment, Lin Ren ordered the army of Immortals, looking at Aakesh and the cat on his head with caution in their eyes.

The Immortals couldn’t help but stare at their Emperor, but when they saw Lin Ren’s face slowly turning cold, the Immortals left the area, barring the four peak Immortals with pseudo divinity guarding the four continental traveling portals.

The Anga continent only had four such portals. While the Xirin Empire, one of the ten Empires on the Vajji continent alone, had the same number of continental traveling portals, showing the vast difference between the strength and wealth between the Anga continent and the Vajji continent.

“Store owner, what brings you here?” Lin Ren respectfully asked as he descended down the ground.

Only the Emperor of the Xirin Empire was allowed to fly in the capital city, showing the vast difference between the king and their subjects in the Empire.

Aakesh’s face returned to his usual expressionless one as he honestly told Lin Ren the purpose behind him coming here.

“Our Empire had a branch of the Gupta traders. Do you want to meet them?” Lin Ren knew his standing, so he didn’t ask for the reason behind the meeting. But instead, he asked for things that would make Aakesh’s work easy.

Aakesh shook his head since he was going to the Gupta trader’s headquarters to meet them. Only there would he be able to meet the head of the family and direct family members.

“Store owner, just say a word if you need anything from this Emperor. We may not be the strongest of the Empires, but our wealth rivals the richest Empires,” Lin Ren asked Aakesh as he boasted the value of his Empire in Aakesh’s eyes.

Aakesh refused and left the area without saying anything.

Lin Ren didn’t mind Aakesh’s response to his offer since he already knew about Aakesh. He then ordered no one to disturb him in his way, or the consequences would be too dire for others.

The Gupta family headquarters were based in Cairo, the capital city of the Bahraich Empire, the mightiest and wealthiest Empire on the Vajji continent.

Aakesh didn’t leave the traveling junction since the distance between the Xirin Empire and the Bahraich Empire was nothing to scoff about.

It would take more than one hour if Aakesh wanted to travel there on his own.

Aakesh didn’t feel like wasting that amount of time, so he went to the lower floor which contained ordinary travel portals used to travel to different parts of the Vajji continent.

There were around seven hundred travel portals here. Aakesh found the one with their destination at the Bahraich Empire and joined the line gathering in front of it.
