Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1377 - 37 Holy Fruit_3

"Zhongsheng Continent is low-lying and has a harsh environment."

"Externally, the Yuanci Sea blocks any communication with the outside world."

"Internally, at the southernmost end of Zhongsheng Continent, the Extreme Southern Wind Cave occasionally spews out a substance with strong corrosive power..."

Speaking of this, Yun Shu’s expression was no longer the same as when she was dealing with Yangshe Mao earlier, but became grave:

"In such circumstances, originally the Yuanci Palace alone was supremely dominant, transcending all others. Today, the Nine Great Families alongside another forty-nine smaller families, under the rule of Yuanci Palace, manage the entire Zhongsheng Continent together. However, with the rising sea levels of the Yuanci Sea starting over a hundred years ago, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly..."

"The rise in sea level was followed by backflow from the Yuanci Sea, and Zhongsheng, which was already not well-off, suffered extensive damage to numerous Spiritual Lineages. This affected many smaller families, causing them to suffer great losses in strength."

"First, mortals were affected by the flood, resulting in a large number of mortal deaths."

"Following that, the backflow from the Yuanci Sea submerged ninety-nine percent of Zhongsheng Continent, leaving only some peaks of high mountains... What you see now is after the water level receded."

"The most troublesome issue is the backflow of the Yuanci Sea water, which also connected with the Extreme Southern Wind Cave. The peculiar corrosive substances from inside also spread quickly throughout the entire Zhongsheng Continent with these waters."

"Except for Yuanci Palace, the major families, and the cities guarded by these families, there are almost no places left suitable for mages to cultivate; oh, those who have cultivated the Yuanci Secret Technique are not affected, so many are now trying somehow to switch to cultivating the Yuanci Secret Technique."

As she spoke, Yun Shu glanced at Daoist Yuanci, her eyes inadvertently showing a trace of envy.

Listening quietly to Yun Shu’s words, Daoist Yuanci mentally organized everything quickly, soon questioning with confusion:

"Judging by this, the Nine Great Families and Yuanci Palace should be in the same boat, why then do they now view each other as enemies and face each other in armed conflict?"

Yun Shu sighed and said:

"That’s a long story... Yuanci Palace has been established in Zhongsheng Continent for many years, holding almost all the high-quality cultivation resources in their hands. For families like ours wanting to improve, we need the approval of Yuanci Palace."

"Previously, Yuanci Palace would also leave us some scraps, and the Nine Great Families, adept in management and drawing upon years of accumulation, managed to nurture a Saint Mage... This is also why the Nine Great Families could be called families."

"However, about eighty years ago, sudden anomalies began to appear in the heaven and earth. It is said that the middle and late stages of Class V Saint Mages were restricted, unable to set foot in Zhongsheng Continent."

"Middle and late stages of Saint Mage?"

Daoist Yuanci was greatly surprised inwardly, but his face showed no change, just curiously said:

"What about the early stage of Class V, were they unaffected?"

"Early stage? No, there shouldn’t be any. The Nine Great Families’ nine Saint Mages almost all have made appearances."

Yun Shu thought for a while and shook her head:

"However, the major reliance of Yuanci Palace, namely the ’Three Saints’ boasted as the three Palace Masters of Yuanci Palace, because they are in the middle and late stages of Class V, have never stepped out of Yuanci Palace. Other Saint Mages of Class V from Yuanci Palace are either missing or aged, and now only two Class V early-stage Saint Mages are left..."

"This is also the root cause of the chaos, with the main body weak and subsidiaries strong, coupled with a scarcity of resources, trouble is inevitable."

Daoist Yuanci suddenly had a realization, but then new doubts arose.

Class V Saint Mages, that is, Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Elsewhere in Little Cang World, almost no place could accommodate a Divinity Transformation cultivator, but why could this place accommodate early-stage God Transformation Cultivators?

And this situation is different from that of the Eightfold Sea.

Here, obviously, there exists the Will of the Heaven and Earth.

The Eightfold Sea, however, does not.

"What is different about Zhongsheng Continent from outside?"

However, while Daoist Yuanci was puzzled, he also became somewhat excited.

Because if what Yun Shu said was true, then even if the Nascent Soul Perfect cultivators from Jin didn’t wait for the Taoist Field to be built, they could come to Zhongsheng Continent to undergo their Crossing Tribulation.

Even the whole of Jin could move here.

Of course, this was on the premise that the issues of Zhongsheng Continent could be resolved.

And how to coexist peacefully with Yuanci Palace was also an important issue.

But those were matters for later.

Daoist Yuanci quickly noticed more issues and wondered aloud:

"Even though the Three Saints of Yuanci Palace cannot leave, as long as they are still within Yuanci Palace, the people from the Nine Great Families cannot possibly invade Yuanci Palace. Even if they capture other families and cities, it wouldn’t make much sense, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu’s gaze swept over Daoist Yuanci, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Noticing this slight change, Daoist Yuanci wisely responded:

"If Mage Yun finds it inconvenient to reveal, just consider that I never asked."

But Yun Shu quickly shook her head.

Her gaze swept over until in the far distance, a faint outline of an emerald green city could be seen.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke up:

"Does Mage Liang know about the ’Taoist Mystic Holy Fruit’?"

"Taoist Mystic Holy Fruit?"

Daoist Yuanci’s eyes showed curiosity.

As Yun Shu saw that the city was getting closer, her speaking pace unconsciously quickened:

"It seems Mage Liang is not aware. This Taoist Mystic Holy Fruit blooms every eight thousand years, bears fruit every eight thousand years, and ripens every eight thousand years, each time producing only two fruits. Consuming it, it is said, can lead to Instant Ascension! Even its fruit core, when used in Alchemy, has supreme effects; a Class IV Great Mage could gain insights into the Holy Realm, and a Class V Saint Mage can use it to advance a level further!"
