The contents of these Jade Slips are meant for cultivators who have just embarked on their path of cultivation, to help them understand the world and expand their horizons.

For instance, one of the Jade Slips is a brief history of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, narrated from the human race's perspective, detailing the journey of the human race from weak and small to becoming rulers of the world.

There are also Jade Slips introducing various factions, natural geography, and Spiritual Objects and Spirit Materials.

This has greatly benefited Li Zhirui, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of this world.

Even though he has achieved his goals, he did not choose to retract the Divine Sense hidden within the bodies of these native cultivators, as it might come in handy at any time.

Anyway, doing so would no longer affect his strength.

Li Zhirui replicated the content he had collected and sent it to Fu Chengguang.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." He sincerely expressed his gratitude.

With these Jade Slips, they could construct a more comprehensive impression and understanding of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, which would help them find ways to integrate into this world and avoid easily revealing their identities when interacting with others.

"Fellow Daoist, no need to be so polite. Take a look at the contents first, and then we'll discuss our next course of action." This was also the reason Li Zhirui had stayed.

"Alright."

Without any further words, he focused all his attention on examining the contents of each Jade Slip.

After some time, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "I think we could head to the Kong Mountain State in the southeastern direction next."

"Oh? Why did Fellow Daoist choose this place?"

"It's simple! Kong Mountain State is chaotic enough!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Fu Chengguang said, "First, this place is located between the two major orthodox factions of Kongtong Mountain and Ten Thousand Poison Mountain, sharing borders with Cold Soul Forest, Tong Gu Sect, and other various sects, creating complex and unclear ownership."

"Second, this area is full of towering mountains and dense jungles, and most importantly, the underground is full of caves, making the geographical environment even more complex. Even if danger arises, there are many places to hide and escape easily."

"Third, there are numerous Spiritual Objects here, and their grades are relatively high, contributing to a rather prosperous cultivation world. This makes it more beneficial for us to learn about the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm's civilization and cultivation systems, and to acquire cultivation resources."

Perhaps limited by the grade of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, those cultivation resources might not be very high-grade, but that doesn't mean they are useless to us.

Quite the opposite, these Spiritual Objects would bring them great benefits.

So what if their grade is low? They have methods to enhance the grade!

Li Zhirui has space, and Fu Chengguang has a powerful family backing him.

By then, they could mix the Spiritual Objects of this realm with those they have, to derive some Pill Recipes, Magic Artifacts, and other Spiritual Objects, which would be exclusive business.

Of course, these are external things; the most important are the unique civilization and cultivation systems of the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, which are the most appealing and will bring them the most benefits.

After listening, Li Zhirui nodded unconsciously, as these three conditions included safety and rewards, indeed very suitable for them.

"Given that, shall we set off for Kong Mountain State after some time?" he suggested.

They couldn't have just arrived at the swamp zone without exploring or gaining anything, and then leave directly, right?

Besides, both still have a strong Outer Realm aura, which low-level cultivators might not detect, but it's impossible to conceal from Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.

So it would be better to wait for a while, letting the Outer Realm aura dissipate, before taking action.

"Fellow Daoist's considerations are thorough, let's discuss it again after some time," Fu Chengguang thought for a moment, not declining.

He continued, "I plan to explore the swamp zone tomorrow."

Li Zhirui caught the implicit meaning; he plans to act alone, which was exactly what Li Zhirui also intended!

There aren't any high-grade creatures in the swamp zone, at most just Human Immortals, and even if their strength is suppressed to only one-tenth, dealing with several Human Immortal cultivators is still more than enough.

Thus, even if they act alone, the likelihood of encountering danger is minimal.

Despite the trust between the two, it doesn't mean they have to stick together and act as one; some personal, solitary space is still needed.

Like having separate Cave Mansions if conditions allow, as everyone has secrets.

"Alright, I also plan to explore alone and personally understand the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm."

Then, Li Zhirui bid farewell and left.

Fu Chengguang couldn't help but smile. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they were quite in tune, and interacting with each other was very pleasant.

...

Nothing notable happened throughout the night.

Early the next day, Fu Chengguang left the cave and flew northeast.

Not long after, Li Zhirui also stepped out, looked at the direction Fu Chengguang had left, and then chose the opposite direction, heading southeast.

This area may not be suitable for human race's survival, but that doesn't mean it's desolate and lifeless.

On the contrary, without the disturbance of the human race, many creatures thrive, presenting a scene of vigor and vitality amidst a beautiful landscape.

Interestingly, despite the abundant Spiritual Objects in the swamp, not many cultivators are willing to explore and collect them.

There must be some secrets unknown to them.

Li Zhirui was aware of a rumor regarding this place, saying that cultivators entering the Gloomy Swamp mysteriously disappear!

No matter their cultivation level, strength, or power!

Occasionally, some cultivators manage to leave alive, yet they declare to the outside world that there are no valuable Spiritual Objects inside; on the contrary, it is full of dangers, and they don't advise others to explore.
