Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 971: Granaxx

Varsil returned after getting the flower he had come for and was quite excited at the prospect of cultivating very soon.

He trusted Ningʼs words wholeheartedly since someone that strong would have no reason to lie to a mortal like him.

Ning returned back to the secret realm where the people were working hard to create houses by themselves. Some were working in open ground to make gardens and fields where they could grow food for their children, and others were busy cultivating using the cultivation method Ning had provided them with.

Ning was also working on a way to let them go in and out of the secret realm without having to come out of the Royal palace in the middle of the city.

He ended up making a teleportation formation that would take the people to a house in the city that was bought to be theirs. Some people would live there, but most would use it to come directly into the Origin.

Once he was done, it was time for Ning to leave this world and find the others.

There were still many people that he needed to find and he didnʼt feel like wasting any more time.

So, after letting Ely and the others know, he got ready to leave.

”Grandmaster, can you take this child along with you?” Dahlia asked bringing Iris forward. ”She has been couped up in a single place her entire life, so I want her to experience the outer world.”

Ning hesitated a bit. He didnʼt want to be in charge of another child, but in this case, she wasnʼt a child so he accepted.

”Sure, she can come along,” Ning said. Iris had already broken through to the Immortal realms, so Ning found it not as worrying to bring her along.

”Thank you, Grandmaster,” Iris said.

”Alright, I will see you guys in a few months at most,” Ning said and opened a portal directly inside the Origin.

He stepped into the portal, and behind him, Iris stepped in as well.

She looked around with a bewildered image when she realized that everywhere she looked, there was nothing but the ocean.

She was stepping on a piece of land that was no larger than 5 meters in all directions and the waves were already touching her feet.

”Where are we?” she asked.

”Just a random island in the middle of the ocean on a planet called Granaxx,” Ning said as he looked around.

”Is my Ancestor in this world?” she asked.

”Uh… Tanya is in this world if that is who you mean,” Ning said. ”If you meant Anya, then no. She is doing quite well for herself at the moment, so I donʼt need to worry about getting to her immediately.”

”Oh! My Great Grandmother is here?” Iris asked with a surprised expression.

”Yes,” Ning said. ”Have you met Tanya before?”

”Grandmother says I have, but I donʼt have any recollection,” Iris said. ”She ascended long before I could form concrete memories.”

”Well, at least she got to see her Great Granddaughter before leaving,” Ning said. ”Do you want to go meet her first?”

”Umm…” Iris hesitated a little. She felt nervous when thinking about meeting her ancestor whom she had heard so much about. ”Okay.” She accepted the idea in the end.

”Letʼs see, they sent you here to know more about the outer world, so I guess shortcuts are out of the question,” Ning said. ”Then I suppose the only thing we can do is find her the old-fashioned way.”

Ning smiled and looked toward Iris. ”You will have to be the one to find her,” he said.

”M-me?” Iris asked with a blank look. ”But I donʼt know whe—”

”Here, look at this map,” Ning said as he brought out a paper map. On the map, there were 5 different continents, two of which were nearly in contact with each other, and the other 3 were in a cluster, but obviously split up.

”Tanya is in a city here,” Ning pointed. ”Your job is to find her.”

”Uh… okay,” Iris said as he looked at the map. ”Then letʼs go here.”

”Sure,” Ning said. ”Take the lead.”

Iris put down the map to start moving when she realized that she had no idea where she exactly was.

”Where is this island?” she asked as she turned to Ning. Ning, however, simply shrugged.

”I am leaving everything to you. Take as long as you want to figure out where we are or where we are going. The only help I will give you is that map and the city where Tanya is,” Ning said.

Iris was befuddled. What the hell was she supposed to do right now? She took some time to wonder and in that time, the portal behind them disappeared.

”I donʼt know where to start,” Iris said. ”Grandmaster, canʼt you help me with some hints?”

”Sure,” Ning said. ”Hereʼs your one and only hint. Everything in that map is absolutely accurate.”

”Thatʼs… not very helpful,” Iris said.

”You will be fine,” Ning said. ”Just look at the map and you will figure things out.”

Iris continued looking at the map for a bit before suddenly looking up. She looked at the direction in which the sun was and quickly pulled out a spear from her storage bag before slamming it onto the sand before her.

Then, she waited for a few minutes to see how the sun would rotate. The shadow of the spear changed slightly and that told her what direction the sun was in.

From there, she could make a general guess of what direction she was facing. After that, all she could do was take the east or the west and hope to see land as she was definitely in between the 2 or the 3 continent clusters.

”Letʼs go east,” she said, hoping that she was on the right side of the map. Otherwise, the 3 continent cluster would be to her west.

She started flying and Ning flew with her, going in the direction that would hopefully lead her to some land.
