"The Northern Region is not located in any corner of the continent, and many people don't even know how to get there."
"It's freezing cold there. Any cultivator with a lower level of cultivation would freeze to death if they went in."
A map made of animal hide was spread out in front of Sheng Ning. The map was given to her by Mo Jingchun. Su Daiyuan stood to the side, pointing to a corner at the top of the map and explaining it to his junior sister.
Because the northern region is vast and sparsely populated, and rich in spiritual energy, many rare and precious treasures that cannot be found on the mainland can be found there.
Many cultivators want to enter the Northern Region, even if it's just for a few days or nights, they can make a fortune.
However, the northern region is not so easy to enter.
Before entering the Northern Regions, one needs to pass through a sea area.
Beneath that sea lay ferocious sea monsters, and the sea was perpetually shrouded in thick fog, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
"Most cultivators who wanted to enter the Northern Region were either swallowed by strange sea beasts or completely lost at sea due to the thick fog, with no way back."
"Junior Sister, are you really sure about this?"
Su Daiyuan's tone was heavy, and his gaze remained fixed on Sheng Ning the entire time.
The latter kept staring at the map.
Hearing the question above her, Sheng Ning looked up, pointed out the window, and smiled, "Senior Brother, do we still have a way out?"
Su Daiyuan followed her finger and looked toward the window beside him.
Seeing a cloud drift by, he curled his lips into a smile, "That's right, we have no way out now."
"So if you encounter danger, Junior Sister must hide behind your Senior Brothers."
Three days ago, all the disciples of the Invincible Sect were ready to set off.
They bid farewell to Mo Jingchun, and under Mo Jingchun's tearful gaze, they turned and headed to Youyun City to board the airship.
Airships cannot reach the Northern Region directly; they need to first dock in the northernmost town on the continent, and then find a ship to take them to the Northern Region.
They have now been flying in the sky for three days.
It will take another four or five days to reach the northernmost town.
The disciples of the Invincible Sect had traveled extensively in their early years, but had never been to such a remote place.
Compared to Sheng Ning, Yu Ye and the others were even more excited.
The room door was pushed open from the outside, and Yu Ye stood in the doorway, excitedly speaking to Sheng Ning and the other person inside, "Junior Sister, we have arrived in Starfall City."
Starfall City was the first place where Sheng Ning participated in a group activity after arriving in this world.
It has only been half a year since the monster frenzy ended, but it feels like a long time has passed.
Sheng Ning was pulled onto the deck of the airship. Following Yu Ye's finger, she looked down and saw a vast, endless forest.
Taking Qiuqiu out of her bosom, Sheng Ning smiled and said, "Qiuqiu, do you still remember this place?"
"Chirp chirp!"
The airship was enormous, large enough to carry thousands of people.
For short journeys, most cultivators would choose to fly on their swords rather than take an airship.
Now, this airship is carrying a full five or six hundred cultivators.
Most of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were also a few Golden Core cultivators.
On this continent, those who can cultivate to the Golden Core stage are already considered exceptional individuals.
After all, even in the largest sect like the Taixu Sect, the elders of the eight halls are only at the Nascent Soul stage.
The spiritual energy on the mainland is shallow, and most people do not have the opportunity to cultivate.
That's why Elder Qian was so agitated when Qin Chuan was nearly killed by a cannonball that day.
All of these people wanted to go to the Northern Region.
Yu also leaned against the deck handrail.
He slightly raised his chin and asked Sheng Ning beside him, "Junior Sister, do you know why there are so many people heading to the Northern Region this time?"
Sheng Ning followed his gaze and saw several cultivators dressed in white robes standing together.
He is a disciple of the Flying Flower Sect.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips turned up. "Such a simple answer, there's no need to guess, right?"
Yu Ye's excitement had not yet faded.
He was still waiting for his junior sister to ask him eagerly what the reason was that so many cultivators had gathered together.
Hearing Sheng Ning's words was like being doused with a bucket of cold water.
He blinked, his features scrunched up, "Can't you just beg Fourth Senior Brother and ask him to tell you the answer?"
Aren't all the junior female students from other schools like this?
He begged his senior brother for this and that.
It seems like the Invincible Sect is different from other sects.
It seems like they're the ones begging their junior sister for this and that.
Realizing this, Yu Ye's facial features contorted once again.
Then he heard his junior sister speak dryly, "Please, Fourth Senior Brother, tell me the answer."
The hopes in my heart were shattered.
Yu Ye took a deep breath and raised his hand to cover her small face. "Let's forget it. Junior Sister, you're not suited to asking for favors."
"So why is that?"
The answer in Sheng Ning's mind was becoming clear.
Yu Ye replied with a distorted expression, "Because the totem appeared in the Northern Region, everyone wants to possess it."
It really is a totem.
Sheng Ning was not happy to have guessed the answer correctly.
Instead, her already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply. "The pillar of heaven has collapsed, and it needs to be repaired by totems. They've seized the totems for themselves..."
Suddenly, Sheng Ning's expression hardened.
She then saw Yu Ye nod. "That's right. They all want to be saviors, to take credit for themselves, and to be worshipped and thanked by the world."
"Junior Sister is still young and may not know the meaning of being worshipped by the world."
"There are two kinds of blessings in the world. One is the blessing of Heaven, which is recognized by Heaven. However, the blessing of Heaven is rare. Cultivators who receive the blessing of Heaven can ascend to immortality very easily."
"However, most cultivators will not receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao even after a lifetime of cultivation, making it difficult for them to ascend to immortality."
"The other is a humanitarian blessing."
The images of Shi Yueyao's statues in Chang Le Fang immediately popped into Sheng Ning's mind.
Even though she already knew the purpose of these statues, after hearing what Yu Ye said, she felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
Her Adam's apple bobbed, and she frowned as she looked at him through Yu Ye's fingers. "Fourth Senior Brother, what would happen if we received a blessing from humanity?"
"The human population is large, so if only one or two people come to pay homage and express their gratitude, there will certainly be no problem."
"But what if it's in the millions or tens of millions?"
Such a humane blessing is probably no less powerful than a divine blessing.
Sheng Ning regretted rushing off to the Northern Region.
If a statue of Shi Yueyao has appeared in Youyun City, then other towns may also have similar statues.
Shi Yueyao is not completely dead yet. If there are similar statues in other towns, it is inevitable that Shi Yueyao will make a comeback in the future.
After Yu finished speaking, his junior sister fell into an eerie silence.
Thinking he had said something wrong, he immediately said, "However, blessings of humanity are not easy to obtain. Otherwise, why would everyone only think about cultivation instead of obtaining blessings of humanity by doing good deeds?"
"Many people take it for granted that they will be helped."
