Wang Yangshan spoke at length, which contained a great deal of information.
After Wang Yangshan's patient explanation, Lin Xiuyuan gradually understood.
The cancellation of this grand competition is indeed related to the war between the righteous and demonic factions, but it was not affected by the war itself, but rather influenced by it. As a result, it was necessary to open the Hengyang Secret Realm in the short term and send many disciples in to seize opportunities, so the grand competition had to be cancelled.
To understand the opening of the secret realm in the Great Yue cultivation world, and why both the righteous and demonic factions got involved, we need to go back to the foundation of the Great Yue Kingdom, and even the formation of the Great Yue cultivation world!
As we all know, in the various arts of cultivating immortality, one needs a certain talent to begin practicing; otherwise, one will not even be able to get started.
Just like the original owner, who purchased low-level talisman jade slips and studied them for over ten years without ever reaching the next level, demonstrating the original owner's poor aptitude. However, the lack of resources also played a significant role.
Basically, every aspect of the cultivation of immortality, besides requiring basic talent, also requires continuous practice with resources in order to gain the qualification to enter the field.
In the Great Yue Kingdom, with so many spiritual masters, almost every sect and clan regards spiritual masters as one of their main lineages. For example, the Yunxiao Sect regards the Lingxiao lineage as a secondary lineage, which is also the strongest lineage second only to the Yun lineage.
Almost every sect follows this pattern, choosing one of the four Great Daos as a secondary inheritance, or even making it the primary inheritance. Typical examples include the top-tier Jade Cauldron Pill Sect and large-scale sects such as the Dragon Talisman Sect and the Artifact Spirit Sect!
Restaurants like Xinyuan Pavilion, Meixin Restaurant, and Wanbaolou place great emphasis on cultivating spiritual chefs, spiritual plant masters, and beast tamers, not to mention other forces of all sizes.
Looking across the entire world, in the Great Yue cultivation world, the number of Spirit Masters accounts for at least 60-70% of the total population.
Therefore, one can imagine how large the number of spirit masters is, and the resources consumed by each spirit master in entering the profession are considerable.
However, the fact that the Great Yue cultivation world is able to support such a large number of spiritual masters and a complete training system is inseparable from its basic foundation.
That's the secret realm!
For some unknown reason, many fragmented spaces have been discovered in this region of Da Yue. Their origins are difficult to trace, but it is generally believed that changes in the great dragon veins of heaven and earth caused the space to shatter. Or perhaps, during a period of abundant spiritual energy, there was a great battle between Nascent Soul stage experts that destroyed the heavens and the earth and shattered space, resulting in many fragmented spaces becoming adrift.
The specifics are difficult to ascertain; everything that has vanished in the long river of time is hard to examine.
Some of these fragmented spaces are desolate and lifeless, essentially useless. Others can serve as places for secluded cultivation, medicinal gardens, or secret realms. Because these fragmented spaces contained some spiritual veins when they collapsed and were attached to this main world, they were all refined into secret realms by powerful figures.
Like the Demon King's Secret Realm in the Southern Frontier, it was a representative of a fragmented space, covering a vast area. And that great demon king was a Nascent Soul stage being, able to absorb spiritual veins and enter it, turning it into his own secluded cultivation place!
Naturally, this is a method of extracting and placing dragon veins, and it is only limited to a small area with abundant spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in most areas is ordinary, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao are incomplete, so no demonic beasts that have not reached the Foundation Establishment stage appear there.
Therefore, although this secret realm is vast and has a terrifying origin, theoretically speaking, it is only a relatively ordinary level secret realm.
The fragmented spaces within the Great Yue Immortal Cultivation World are mostly of this ordinary type, except that most of them do not have such a vast internal space.
These fragmented spaces were first discovered by the various spiritual master sects.
At that time, Nanzhou was under the control of the Barbarian Demon Palace, and human cultivators launched a massive attack to seize spiritual lands!
The spirit masters stayed in the rear, refining various spiritual items. It was during that time that they discovered these fragmented spaces, gradually refined them, and then cultivated spiritual herbs.
Although both the righteous and demonic factions noticed the unusually large number of fragmented spaces appearing in this region, the human cultivators were far more powerful than the Barbarian Demon Palace. Faced with the vast Southern Continent, neither side would take these mere fragmented spaces seriously.
In the eyes of both the righteous and the demonic factions, the vast Southern Continent is a land of countless spiritual lands and abundant resources!
However, no one could have predicted at the time that, in the end, the number of fragmented spaces discovered by the rear spiritualist forces would be far greater than dozens, but in the hundreds!
At this point, it was too late for either the righteous or the demonic forces to be envious. This place was already teeming with spiritual masters, who were stationed in the rear to provide supplies and craft spiritual items for the great battle.
With various forces gathered, and facing the envy of both the righteous and the demonic, they naturally united as one.
With the Southern Continent newly established, the interests of both the righteous and the demonic factions have not yet been fully divided.
Not to mention, although the Barbarian Demon Palace suffered a great defeat, it only retreated to the southern border and waited to recover its strength. Given the opportunity, it would naturally not give up the chance to reclaim the Southern Continent.
At this critical juncture, if a large force were to withdraw to fight for control of the fragmented space, the border would inevitably fall, and the entire favorable situation would completely collapse.
Given this overall situation, with various parties holding us back, a single misstep could have far-reaching consequences, and the slightest mistake could lead to total defeat.
Naturally, both the righteous and the demonic factions had no choice but to give up on this matter.
And the groups of spiritual masters that are united as one are the top and large forces of today...
It is precisely by relying on these numerous fragmented spaces that they have gradually refined into secret realms, where spiritual herbs and plants are cultivated, which has been enough to support the vast kingdom of spiritual masters!
These two points are the fundamental basis for the formation of the Great Yue Immortal Cultivation World.
Under such circumstances, neither the righteous nor the demonic dared to act rashly, and the Great Yue cultivation world took advantage of this to rapidly form and develop to its current state.
