Chen Mo spotted a large town up ahead as Sun Wu pressed on.
Yet, this town's buildings looked vastly unlike anything he'd encountered in the lower realm.
A peculiar energy barrier enclosed the whole settlement, while structures displayed odd forms and designs—some twisting skyward, others like hovering Crystal Palaces in the sky.
Odd runes and designs covered the exteriors of these edifices, bouncing back light in a burst of vibrant hues.
The pathways in the town stood out too, laid with glowing multicolored gems that evoked a rainbow path to an enchanted realm.
Beside these paths, exotic blooms and foliage flourished, giving off an alluring scent, every petal emitting a gentle luminescence as if from a fantasy.
A towering spire rose at the city's heart, topped by a huge Crystal Ball that steadily emitted radiant beams, bathing the area in vivid glows.
This Crystal Ball appeared to power the city and shone as the town's brightest feature.
Locals sported diverse unusual garments, including headdresses with feathers, opulent garments, or capes shimmering with brilliant lights.
They strolled about the streets, engaging in lively talks and chuckles.
The whole place resembled a strangely enchanting wonderland, saturated with a mesmerizing otherworldly vibe.
"Do you possess a cosmic secret treasure for teleportation?"
As they neared the town, Sun Wu spun around and asked right away.
Chen Mo gave a nod and answered, "Yes, I obtained one."
"Have you established the teleportation location yet?"
"I placed it close to the entryway right after arriving," Chen Mo responded, grinning.
"That's not the best choice; even by the entrance, powerful beasts might emerge abruptly, so the securest spot for teleportation lies inside settlements occupied by Ocean Town inhabitants," Sun Wu counseled, drawing from his know-how.
"Got it, fine, I've shifted the teleportation point to this location already," Chen Mo said, heeding the advice and making the change swiftly.
"Places nearer the shore such as this work well for teleportation spots; apart from Nile City, a few more settlements nearby offer options."
Once they'd covered the essentials, Sun Wu guided Chen Mo straight to the central tower in the town.
"What's the power level of these Ocean Town folks? How do they sustain themselves?" Chen Mo inquired with interest, eyeing the locals nearby.
"They're much like us—we rise from the lower realm through earned merits, while they depend on born talents.
Sometimes we might venture out alongside Ocean Town natives, but it's best to stick with known companions because we're different species."
Chen Mo acknowledged with a nod.
Just then, Sun Wu gestured toward the looming tower and went on, "They call this the Source Tower; every Ocean Town features one, and across the Sea of Cosmos, it's a vital element in these settlements.
Locals draw their living supplies from it, and it lets us journey between Ocean Towns, easing travel through different zones."
Sun Wu shared insights on the Sea of Cosmos with Chen Mo, acting like a seasoned guide.
Chen Mo picked up plenty of fresh details during their walk.
They stepped inside the Source Tower before long.
A crowd milled about at the tower's foundation.
Sun Wu moved deftly to a desk and stated, "I'd like to register my companion as an explorer, please."
Chen Mo had picked up en route that explorers matched the lower realm's adventurers.
This status gained official acknowledgment, with greater star ratings bringing superior perks in Ocean Towns.
Fresh explorers typically start at one star.
Completing more missions in Ocean Towns boosts an explorer's star rank.
"Kindly place your hand on this engraving stone to log your details," instructed the odd octopus-like being at the counter, its speech a bit garbled, indicating an egg-shaped rock in front of Chen Mo.
While Chen Mo extended his hand to the engraving stone, the octopus figure frantically worked the bizarre display in front of it.
"Finished—registration's set; take this explorer badge, guard it well since it's essential for claiming missions and turning them in for rewards; protect it diligently, and if it goes missing, come back to get a replacement."
"Thanks."
From the octopus being, Chen Mo took hold of a jade-resembling explorer badge.
"Just pin it to your chest; once it bonds with you, it'll stick on its own and rarely get misplaced," Sun Wu told Chen Mo, smiling.
With a nod of comprehension, Chen Mo claimed the item, and the explorer badge fastened itself right to his torso.
"You've got your ID now; time to pick up missions—the hall for that is over there."
Identity secured, Sun Wu promptly directed Chen Mo to the mission area on the right side.
Already, numerous folks were grabbing assignments at that point.
Both Ocean Town natives and plenty from the Guild Alliance filled the space.
Differentiating Ocean Town natives proves tricky, yet Guild Alliance folks reveal their affiliation easily.
Guild Alliance participants possess alliance detection.
By entering a guild pact, they integrate into the broader Guild Alliance network.
Those in the same Guild Alliance can detect one another's presence.
