After a recent series of events, Ye Luo realized that to survive better, one must have their own power!

Power comes in many forms, but cultivators have always pursued two kinds: one is their own cultivation, and the other is, naturally, the power of the Sect.

Ye Luo’s current cultivation level surpasses that of the elders, and he could have gone to other regions in search of better development.

This thought had been troubling him; however, after coming out of the Five Dao Ridges, he changed his mind.

The reason lies in that this Sixth Region is different from other regions, especially the South Territory; perhaps due to the influence of the Hunters, it offers great space for Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators to improve!

Indeed, if he went to the Fifth Region or even the Fourth Region, the results might not be as good as here!

And another point is that he wants to cultivate his own strength!

He had always been a small figure being hunted; whether by the Dragon Clan or the returnees, they never looked up to him, merely interested in something he possessed.

This had always frustrated him, but it wasn’t until he destroyed the Pure Land that he felt relieved.

After deceiving the Hunters, many forces began to regard him seriously.

However, this is far from enough. Others have ambitions, so surely Ye Luo has ambitions too? It would be laughable if he didn’t; without ambition, how could he have stepped up from such a low-level region on Earth to where he is now?

Without ambition, how could he have grown to surpass the elder ranks among cultivators?

Therefore, now having secured his footing in the South Territory, his ambitions are reignited once again.

Of course, he’s not intent on restoring the nonsense of a Zhongzhou Empire; reality has shown him that Zhongzhou’s civilization only wished to use him, and once they found him useless, they would kick him away!

After all, did you really expect those robots to talk emotions with you? In fact, their programs must already have plans set for Ye Luo’s subsequent handling.

Given this, Ye Luo must keep his guard up against them.

Currently, what he aims to do is to strengthen the Zi Wei Sect and his Mech Warriors.

Certainly, the Mech Warriors are merely a means for him right now; once the Zi Wei Sect truly becomes strong, he plans to abandon the mech warriors.

He cannot depend on Zhongzhou’s power for long-term development; otherwise, he would end up as a slave to Zhongzhou’s civilization.

He doesn’t believe Zhongzhou’s civilization to be some charity offering free service.

Nevertheless, Ye Luo has benefits that should be collected; using Gold Silk Wood can trade for resources from the base, a thing he must do.

At least, Gold Silk Wood wouldn’t cost him anything, being entirely a product of the South Territory.

But it would require some effort on his part to find and retrieve it.

Moreover, the base’s resources are extremely scarce across the entire Martial Realm.

Subsequently, he decided to look for Gold Silk Wood! However, the location of Gold Silk Wood is debated with no fixed explanation; back then, Zi Wei only found a small patch of wild Gold Silk Wood forest and transplanted it.

And at the time, she discovered it was related to Zhongzhou’s civilization, because the civilization might seem mysterious to ordinary cultivators, but to truly skilled individuals, it’s not really a secret.

But, today’s cultivators are no longer like the invaders of the past and Zhongzhou’s civilization has been reduced to prisoners; right or wrong, it’s unnecessary to argue anymore.

Moreover, cultivators seem to be chasing after Zhongzhou’s civilization rather than eliminating it, competing for any of Zhongzhou’s technological items.

This makes Ye Luo worry whether before Zhongzhou civilization launches an attack, these cultivators have already been assimilated by technology.

However, this apparently has little to do with him, as he himself is not someone from the Martial Realm; even if anything changes, it’s due to natural evolution, and he likely doesn’t have the ability to stop it.

Later on, he arrived at Zi Wei’s Cave Mansion and informed her that he was going to find the whereabouts of Gold Silk Wood.

Yet, Zi Wei’s tone immediately turned hesitant, leaving Ye Luo somewhat puzzled, as she behaved the same way the last time he inquired.

Could it be that there’s something else involved? Otherwise, she shouldn’t be withholding the facts from Ye Luo.

"Well, Ye Luo, let me tell you everything, since given your character, you’ll surely do what you’ve decided!" Zi Wei sighed and said.

She indeed understands Ye Luo well! She then disclosed the reason why she was reluctant to tell Ye Luo about the Gold Silk Wood.

It turns out, this seemingly luxurious and strikingly beautiful tree actually grows in extremely harsh environments.

Thus, unequivocally, it’s located in the place where the spatial barriers of the South Territory are thinnest; legend has it that the Hunters once tried to seize this region, but after being suppressed by the Law Enforcers, it became a forbidden place.

It not only has Law Enforcers guarding it, but its harsh environment ensures that any cultivator below the Heavenly Martial Realm will be shredded by the violent Power of Laws.

Even Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators find it incredibly difficult to live there for long.

Obviously, only fools enjoy living there; due to environmental reasons, no treasure or talent can be born there, completely barren.

Yet, a type of tree thrives precisely in such an environment—that’s Gold Silk Wood.

Moreover, that’s the genuine Gold Silk Wood, as the patch in Zi Wei Sect was improved by Zi Wei Fairy back then, essentially undergoing a fundamental change.

This is exactly why the base has little interest in Zi Wei Sect’s patch of Gold Silk Wood.

Frankly speaking, this patch is merely a large garden for Zi Wei Fairy’s cultivation of taste.

"Since you know so much detail, then you should know the specific location of that forbidden land, right?" Ye Luo asked.

"Ye Luo, you must think it over; do you really want to go there? It’s no joke, I know you are quite strong now, but your strength is only suitable for the Sixth Region. The ones guarding there are the Law Enforcers, their strength is beyond your imagination!" Zi Wei hurriedly said.

She doesn’t mean to belittle Ye Luo, but she had indeed interacted with the Law Enforcers; even as the former number one in the Sixth Region, at her peak, she was still apprehensive of them.
