"Senior Brother, are you from the Phoenix Clan?"
Looking at the divine bird standing before him, over three zhang long, with magnificent colors, wings and tail feathers that shimmered with light, and its body surrounded by dazzling flames, Shushu asked with some uncertainty.
Looking at Lu Li like this, she couldn't think of anything other than a phoenix.
Lu Li nodded affirmatively in response. Then, Lu Li transformed back into human form and looked at Shushu with a smile, asking, "What's wrong, Junior Sister? Are you surprised?"
"Hmm, I thought there were no phoenixes on the Rainy Continent."
Shushu was naturally surprised. She remembered that when she read the book, it was never mentioned that Lu Li was a phoenix, nor was it mentioned in the Yulin Continent. It seems that this world cannot be defined by the book.
The book is written from Wen Jianxi's perspective, and many things she didn't know are not mentioned in the book at all.
With this in mind, Shushu made up her mind that she would not follow the book's ideas completely from now on; she would have to consider reality.
"There are indeed no phoenixes on the Rainy Continent."
Just as she was thinking, Lu Li sat down beside her, then took out a tea set from his space, along with spiritual spring water, spiritual tea, and a teapot. With a flick of his finger, flames lit up at the bottom of the teapot, and soon the water boiled.
Lu Li picked up the teapot and slowly brewed the spiritual tea while answering Shushu's question in a very casual manner.
"Isn't Senior Brother from the Rainy Continent?"
Shushu understood the other meaning in Lu Li's words and leaned forward to look at her and ask.
"Yes, just like you, I come from the outside world."
Lu Li remained gentle in tone, not minding revealing his origins at all, and gracefully handed a cup of brewed spiritual tea to Shushu.
"How did Senior Brother know I came from the outside world?"
Shushu glanced at the spiritual tea in front of him. It was full of the aroma of tea, which made him feel refreshed. However, it was very hot. He decided to wait for the tea to cool down before drinking it. Then he turned into a curious child.
She knew the origin of the Treasure-Seeking Rat because it was mentioned in a book, but she hadn't told anyone. How did Lu Li know?
“There are no divine beasts on the Rainy Continent. The spiritual energy in this small world is not enough to nurture divine beasts.”
Lu Li showed no impatience and dutifully answered Shushu's questions.
Actually, here, once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one will know about this matter, and the natives also know it.
That's why the people of Yulin Continent are so eager to leave after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, to go to a bigger and wider world.
Because once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, if you remain on the Rainy Continent and don't leave, there's no possibility of further breakthroughs. You can only watch helplessly as your cultivation stagnates and your lifespan ends, leading to death.
His arrival on the Rainy Continent was also by chance. At that time, he was being hunted down, his shuttle was destroyed, and he was also swept into a spatial rift.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a gap appeared in the spatial rift. Without thinking, he used up his last bit of strength and rushed out. When he woke up again, he was already in the Rainy Continent.
He was severely injured after traversing the spatial rift, and his cultivation level regressed to the Golden Core stage.
Because the Rainland Continent is resource-poor, there are no rare and precious materials that can heal his injuries. He can only rely on the meager spiritual energy and the Phoenix Clan's self-healing ability to slowly recover.
However, it's not so easy for a divine beast to recover from serious injuries. After so many years, his injuries have only recovered by about 10%.
Sometimes he thinks that since it has been dragging on for so long, the injury might eventually become a chronic wound that can never be healed.
But he was helpless. In his current state, he couldn't possibly withstand the fierce winds of the void if he wanted to leave the Rainy Continent. Even if he managed to hold on by chance, he would probably only have a breath left.
A phoenix on its last breath might be alright if it were to end up on a low- to mid-level continent, but if it were to end up on a high-level continent, it would be at the mercy of others.
Moreover, he has enemies; those traitors from the Phoenix Clan will certainly not let him go and are definitely still looking for him.
Rather than foolishly delivering myself to their doorstep, it's better to stay here for a while, wait until my injuries heal, and then go back to fight after I've returned to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, he found the Liuyue Sect to be quite nice, and he felt free and comfortable living there, so he wanted to relax as well.
Now that he has a junior sister, he really wants to protect this little one, at least until she is capable of protecting herself, then it won't be too late to leave, or he can take her with him.
Although I have a master and a sect over the years, I have mostly been alone. Only now do I realize that having a little one with me seems pretty good. At least the loneliness I used to feel is gone.
Thinking this way, Lu Li's gaze towards the sweet potato softened even more.
"That is indeed true."
Shushu was unaware of Lu Li's thoughts. After listening, she nodded in agreement. The lack of spiritual energy on the Yulin Continent was indeed a major problem, and it was not something they could solve.
Perhaps noticing that Shushu was interested in this, Lu Li told her about the situation on the Yulin Continent.
The Yulin Continent is divided into the Spirit Realm and the Mortal Realm by the Lehong Mountains. A natural barrier separates the two realms, and mortals from the Mortal Realm cannot enter the Spirit Realm without certain methods and cultivation.
Of course, in order to protect the safety of mortals in the secular world, each faction was assigned a region to supervise and monitor, in order to prevent cultivators or evil cultivators from causing chaos in the secular world.
Although the secular world is separated by the Lehong Mountains, it is actually closely connected with the spirit world.
Therefore, many cultivation families send their descendants without spiritual roots to the mortal realm under their sect's jurisdiction, while those with spiritual roots in the mortal realm return to the spirit realm.
In the spirit world, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are divided according to the strength of spiritual energy and terrain.
The Eastern Continent has abundant spiritual energy and resources; the Western Continent, on the other hand, is relatively barren. The two most dangerous places on the Rainy Continent, the Bert Desert and the Blazing Volcano, are both located on the Western Continent.
In addition, there is a saying in the spirit world that four sects, three schools, and one temple control the world.
The four sects are Tianyan Sect, Jiuding Sect, Hunyuan Sect, and Liuyue Sect; the three gates are Hehuan Gate, Cangyan Gate, and Ziyu Gate; and the one temple is Tiancan Temple.
Interestingly, the four sects are all located on the Eastern Continent, the three gates are all on the Western Continent, and the temple is located between the two continents.
Of course, it's not to say that there are no other forces in the entire Yulin Continent besides the four sects, three schools, and one temple. In fact, there are still many small forces, but they are unable to stand out or have already become dependent on these few forces.
Among the four sects, the Heavenly Flame Sect is the strongest. Whether in terms of the number of people or the apparent strength, the Heavenly Flame Sect ranks first.
Therefore, the people of the Tianyan Sect always consider themselves the leaders of the righteous path, and they like to meddle in everything that happens on the Yulin Continent, no matter what, in order to show their status.
When this was mentioned, Shushu miraculously saw disdain in Lu Li's expression, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
Lu Li then told Shushu a lot about the Yulin Continent, until he received Liu Yu's message jade talisman and realized that it was already dawn.
