After the talk with Zeke, Sam went on to deal with the other matters and one of them is the Nascent stage cultivator teams.
It is time for their departure to their neighboring empire, the Adrian empire which is in the Northeastern direction of the western continent.
And this empire is also the one closest to the thunder god temple. At least that is what Sam learned from the thunder god temple library.
Even though, no one traveling by sea or flying to the major powers nowadays, there must be a way which the predecessors followed when they first discovered these places. The major powers are obviously the oldest of them all.
So, there is a definite possibility that they found some path towards these empires.
Maybe, they just went to explore the sea and accidentally discovered these lands and went on with their journeys.
