Chapter 76: The Current State of the Cultivation World (Please recommend!)

  Changyu Long recovered a bit, clasped his fists and said to the surroundings: "I don't know which senior came to rescue me, I'm extremely grateful."

  Yang Tian asked thought for a moment, then flew up and retrieved the flying knife, opening his mouth calmly: "I'm not some senior."

  "This Taoist friend is polite, it turns out that just now was the Taoist friend who lent a helping hand. Thank you!" Chang Yulong looked at Yang Tianwen, indeed not like an elder's demeanor, and earlier he himself admitted it.

  Yang Tian waved his hand and said, "No need, I also couldn't stand those two men's behavior so I took action."

  "In any case, fellow Taoist saved my life, I am Chang Yu Long, haven't had the chance to thank you yet..." Chang Yu Long replied politely, glancing at the small white creature on Yang Tian's shoulder without showing any unusual reaction.

  "Yang Tian asked." Yang Tian replied.

  "It turned out to be Yang Daoyou, I wonder which famous sect Yang Daoyou is from?" Chang Yulong was still very polite, why? Not only because of the gratitude for saving his life, but also because he found that he couldn't see through Yang Tianwen's cultivation at all. In general, this kind of situation usually means that the person's cultivation is far above one's own, otherwise there should be some feeling.

  "There is no gate and no sect below, it's just a carefree and scattered cultivation between heaven and earth." Yang Tianwen said without hiding.

  "Scattered cultivator? Oh~~~" Chang Yulong suddenly enlightened, the number of scattered cultivators in the Cultivation Realm is the largest, and scattered cultivators also have the greatest difference in strength. Powerful scattered cultivators can even rival large sects and schools, let alone weaker ones. "Yang Daoist saved my life, I have no way to repay you, please accept this gift." Chang Yulong said, handing over a medicinal herb.

  "Three hundred year old yellow essence?" Yang Tian asked, recognizing it at a glance from its color and shape.

  "Not bad, this spiritual medicine was unexpectedly obtained, but I didn't expect to be discovered by those two shameless people who want to rob it." Chang Yulong nodded and handed it over with some reluctance.

  Yang Tian was taken aback, could this be the treasure that the three of them were fighting over? He had thought it would be some kind of thousand-year-old ginseng or a heavenly spiritual object. It turned out to be just a 300-year-old spirit medicine? It seemed like he also had a few 300-year-old ones himself. It looked like he needed to understand the current market trends in the Cultivation Realm, otherwise he would be taken advantage of and wouldn't even know why.

  "Absolutely not, absolutely not! How could Yang be a petty person who takes things from others and expects something in return? I often tell friends to take back their gifts, otherwise, I will turn around and leave." Yang Tianwen said with great righteousness.

  Chang Yulong was stunned, this is a 300-year-old spiritual medicine, which is also a relatively hard to find item in the cultivation world. Someone is so noble? However, Chang Yulong quickly reacted and his eyes sparkled as he sincerely returned the item saying: "Yang fellow is noble, I really am..."

  Yang Tianwen interrupted, "No need to say more, Yang Mou understands. To be honest, I've just started learning and venturing out into the world, and I'm really unfamiliar with the Cultivation Realm. I'd like to ask for your guidance, Senior Chang." Yang Tianwen saw that this Chang Yulon was still a person who knew how to repay kindness and had a sense of propriety, and he didn't hide his own ignorance about the Cultivation Realm.

  Chang Yu Long was worried, having no way to repay the kindness. Cultivators value nothing more than repaying debts of gratitude, especially one that saved their life - a debt of immense proportions that would hinder their mental state and cultivation if left unpaid. Now, upon hearing Yang Tian Wen's words, he immediately became enthusiastic about explaining everything he knew to him.

  The current Xiu Zhen world is divided into three major forbidden areas, four major forces and five major Dong Tian.

  The four major forces refer to the Tao, Demon, Yao, and Scattered. They are the Tao Alliance, Demon Gate, Yao Beast, and Scattered Cultivators. The first two forces have a long history of opposition in the cultivation world. The Scattered Cultivators are the largest in number and have the greatest disparity between rich and poor, as well as being the most disorganized force. Yao Beast refers to high-level Yao with intelligence that need to hunt down cultivators' Golden Elixir and Primordial Infant to increase their cultivation. Conversely, humans also hunt down Yao Beast's Yao Dan to refine elixirs and equipment.

  Among them, Qingfeng and Huayang are the two major factions of Dao Alliance, each controlling a large area of Xiu Zhen mainland. The Xiu Zhen mainland is vast, except for several well-known forces controlled areas, other places are ownerless land, no one dares to say that they have explored the entire Xiu Zhen mainland thoroughly.

  The three forbidden lands are for human cultivators. Ranked first is the Void Sea, second is the Unreturning Demon Ridge, and third is the Cloud Dream Marsh.

  The Void Sea, it's the sea area outside of the Xiuzhen Continent, shrouded in mist for years, without direction, even spiritual sense exploration would be bewildered. Few people can return alive, but there are plenty of opportunities in the sea.

  The Unreturning Demon Ridge, where demonic beasts gather, occupies about half of the area of the Cultivation Continent. The Unreturning Demon Ridge is a place that countless cultivators yearn for, but it is also a place where countless cultivators have lost their lives. Yang Tian's current location can be considered as the outer periphery of the outer periphery of the Unreturning Demon Ridge.

  Cloud Dream Marsh, mysterious, only these two words can describe it. Inside, there are also endless temptations, with countless spiritual medicines and treasures, rich resources.

  The five great Dōng Tiān, each has its own wonders, compared to the three major forbidden areas, is much weaker in terms of danger, and there are also many opportunities and resources inside, but they are controlled by various forces. Ordinary cultivators can't enter at all. Of course, in order not to provoke public anger, the major forces still allow people to enter, but the "entrance fee" is not cheap. In comparison, the three major forbidden areas are absolutely free, you can come and go as you please.

  Changyue Long said that among the five Great Caves of Heaven, two are controlled by the Dao Alliance, two are controlled by the Demon Gate, and the last one is located at the center of the mainland, belonging to the scattered cultivators, with a powerful expert from the scattered cultivators sitting in charge.

  Yang Tianwen roughly understood that in this world, cultivators were not doing very well. However, fortunately, there was no large-scale war in the current cultivation world, and every cultivator was busy with their own cultivation. The major powers did not have any foolish ambitions to unify the continent. It was a relatively peaceful era, which was exactly what Yang Tianwen wanted. Only in a peaceful era could one's personal safety be guaranteed. However, all of this was just an analysis based on what he had heard from Chang Yulong, whose cultivation level was clearly not that of a high-ranking individual, and only knew the surface-level situation of the cultivation world.
