Chapter 624: Chapter 313 Lin Yi’s Plan
After examining the map of the Human race, Lin Yi turned his attention to the maps of the Demon Tribe and the Demon race. The vast maps only marked a few places; the core locations of the Demon Tribe and the Demon race were devoid of any information.
In combination with the three maps, he couldn’t help but feel relieved that the territories of the Demon Tribe and the Demon race didn’t enclose the Human race. The Demon Tribe was to the south, the Demon race to the north, while to the east lay a boundless sea, and to the southeast was a hot, arid desert.
Based on the map, the Human race should be located in the center of this continent, occupying the land with the most abundant Spiritual Energy, with other races surrounding it.
However, this did not mean that the Human race was safe; within the desert dwelled the Insect Race, and within the sea, the Sea Tribe.
The territories of the Demon Tribe, Demon race, and Sea Tribe were connected. Between the Sea Tribe and the Demon race, there was a desert separating the two, which also indicated that the Insect Race was connected to these two races.
The end of the desert was the sea, which reminded Lin Yi of Earth’s geography, where some deserts meet the sea, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Sahara Desert, bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
Beyond the maps, Lin Yi also purchased a set of information about the Spirit Profound Realm. The information showed that the Sea Tribe maintained neutrality, traded frequently with the Human race, and had relatively cordial relations with them. They were indifferent to the Demon Tribe, which, in turn, had no interest in the sea.
The Insect Race in the southeastern desert, meanwhile, was like a brash youth, hostile towards all three races of Humans, Demons, and the Sea Tribe. To put it simply, they would fight anyone they saw, completely fearless of death.
Therefore, the regions connected to the Sea Tribe were very safe and prosperous, while those connected to the Insect Race were extremely dangerous, and with a harsh environment. In the territories bordering these races, there were also Spirit Cities tasked with the duty of defending the Human race.
These two cities were East Sea Spiritual City and Red Sand Spiritual City, both under the jurisdiction of Tai Xuan Main City.
Taking all the information into account, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel emotional. Even without considering the Sea Tribe, the Human race was surrounded by enemies on all sides, especially in regions neighboring both the Demon and Monster Tribes, which almost faced separate attacks from both.
However, from the information he purchased, the Demon Tribe and Monster Tribe also attacked each other, which meant the pressure on this particular area wasn’t too great.
It also made him understand the reason for the weakness of the Human race; the three races they faced. Both the Demon Tribe and the Insect Race had incredibly high rates of reproduction and as for the Demon race, products of the Dark Abyss seemed to be endless. Killing wave after wave would only result in more arising unless the Dark Abyss was directly destroyed.
The Human race, especially Cultivators, found it more difficult to reproduce as they rose in Realm. A pregnant woman could bear at most one child, and it would take dozens of years before the offspring could join the battle.
The Monster Beasts of the Demon Tribe, on the other hand, bred much faster than humans, particularly those without Spiritual Wisdom, who were often reduced to breeding machines. In the eyes of the powerful beings of the Demon Tribe, they were expendable.
Over time, if the Human race did not produce top-tier Cultivators, it was feared that their overall strength would gradually decline over the long years, eventually leading to a continuous loss of cities to the Demon and Monster Tribes.
Lin Yi stored away all the Jade Slips. On the path of Cultivation, the challenges he faced were not just the difficulties of cultivation itself, but also external threats.
In the Lower Realm, the safety threats came from other Cultivators, while in the Spirit Profound Realm, the enemies shifted from Cultivators of the demonic path to other races, and perhaps in the Immortal Realm, he would face even stronger enemies.
Ascension signified reaching the strength required to ascend to the higher realms, contributing to the Human race. Perhaps these Cultivation Worlds were meticulously designed by some great beings of the Human race.
The intention was to select the most outstanding Human Cultivators, and it’s likely that the sacrifices made in the process were not considered.
Within the Human race’s domain, the safest without a doubt were Tai Xuan Divine City at the core and East Sea Spiritual City near the Sea Tribe.
However, the information in the Jade Slip he purchased also mentioned the requirements to enter East Sea Spiritual City. Because this place was very safe, an ideal Holy Place for cultivation and recuperation, one must achieve a certain level of merit before being allowed entry.
The entire Spirit City was under the control of Tai Xuan Dao Palace, including various shops; purchases of any kind within had to be made with merit rather than Spirit Stones.
To live a long and stable life there, one must earn merit by slaying enemies, which would then grant access to leisure and entertainment in East Sea Spiritual City. It’s said that the mermaids of the Sea Tribe could even be seen in East Sea Spiritual City.
Lin Yi thought that if he had the chance, he definitely wanted to visit East Sea Spiritual City—not for any particular reason, just to experience the exotic charm.
Of course, before that, he still needed to increase his strength, as only powerful strength could ensure absolute safety.
Among these pieces of information, there was little mention of Ascenders, nor was it specified whether Ascenders could enter East Sea Spiritual City without the need for merit.
If one wished for a rapid increase in Cultivation levels, Tai Xuan Main City was undoubtedly the best choice. This central city surely had more Cultivators at the Refining Void or Fusion Realm than other cities did.
Based on the performance of Zhao Yingchang, the Vice Hall Master of Flying Spirit Hall, those Spirit City Guards who came for inspections were definitely problematic and might affect his plans to go to the Main City.
Although he wanted to revert to his original identity, inside the Spirit City were devices that could detect those from the Ascended Worlds. Once he reverted back to his original form, the news of him coming from the Xuanheng Realm would be exposed.
