Chapter 358: Boundless Sea, Mulan People
“So to put it this way, the current Yue Country is really in a complete mess!” Han Li suddenly chuckled.
This strange remark gave the other four a sense of profound mystery; they could only respond with dry smiles.
“You all continue your chat! I’ll go check out other places,” Han Li stood up and said politely.
“Please, Senior!”
“Safe travels, Senior!”
...
The four hurriedly and respectfully watched Han Li leave.
Han Li casually waved his hand and called over Quhun, who had been standing outside the stone pavilion all along, then headed to another stone pavilion.
...
Two hours later, Han Li stood in a corner of the mountain peak, lowering his head in thought.
He had just inquired about the situation of the immortal cultivation world in Yue Country from several groups of cultivators. The conclusion was that the current Yue Country could only be described with one word: chaos.
Under these circumstances, he now had two paths to choose from.
One was to fly away using magical artifacts, leaving Yue Country and the neighboring states far behind, to find another suitable place to continue cultivating.
The other was to find a way to repair that ancient teleportation formation and gamble on where it might transport him. After all, such an expensive ancient teleportation formation couldn’t have been built underground for no reason; it must lead to some distant location.
At first glance, the first option seemed much safer.
But the more Han Li thought about it, the more he felt that this decision wasn’t necessarily much better.
Because Yue Country was bordered to the east and west by the demonic path stronghold Tianluo Country and the righteous path alliance Fengdu Country, respectively, the only directions left to go were north or south.
Heading north through Yuanwu Country, there were still a dozen or so small and medium-sized countries, but it was obvious that their immortal cultivation worlds couldn’t withstand attacks from the demonic path or the righteous path alliance. Some of these countries had long since become puppets of the two powers, secretly battling each other.
Otherwise, the border between Tianluo and Fengdu would have been very small, and large-scale fierce battles would have been impossible before.
These countries could at any time become battlegrounds between the demonic path and the righteous path alliance, so Han Li naturally couldn’t stay.
But if he risked passing through several countries and continued northward, he would reach the extreme northern part of the Tian Nan region, where the so-called “Boundless Sea,” known as an area even immortals find difficult to cross, awaited.
This sea was not only extremely turbid and vast beyond measure, but fish were rarely able to survive in it. The few surviving species were ferocious, rivaling high-level land demonic beasts. Even core formation stage cultivators falling into the sea faced extreme danger.
Attempting to fly across this sea was pure wishful thinking!
Once, an expert cultivator who had reached the nascent soul stage, driven by curiosity about what lay at the end of this sea, prepared carefully and flew along it for more than a year. But all he saw was endless seawater, without a single place to land.
By then, his pills and spirit stones were down to less than half. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to return empty-handed.
Without spiritual power replenishment, even a nascent soul cultivator could only be trapped to die in the sea.
Han Li naturally wouldn’t entertain such a wild idea.
This left only the southern route to consider.
South of Yue Country, passing through five or six countries like Zijin, was a tight alliance of nine countries known as the “Nine Nations Alliance.”
This alliance was formed under the leadership of the Nine Nations’ immortal cultivation worlds.
Its purpose was to fight a powerful and crazed enemy: an invading army composed of “spellmasters” from the Mulan Tribe.
Speaking of the Mulan Tribe and spellmasters, one must mention the Mulan Grassland adjacent to the Nine Nations and the Mulan people living there.
