Jiang Yun didn't expect that the area north of the Yunluo Mountains was the center. He thought that the north would be a cold and miserable place, so the Demon Cult flourished.
"Yes, you heard it right. The north is the center. This information is not a secret among the foundation-building cultivators."
Seeing Jiang Yun's puzzled expression, Liang Cai smiled bitterly.
"In fact, the demonic sect is the mainstream in this world."
Jiang Yun was stunned when these words came out. Is the Central Demon Cult of Xuantian Continent the mainstream?
"I'm afraid we are holding on to the last righteous path." Liang Cai saw that Jiang Yun seemed unconvinced. He continued:
"This is the truth about the Hehuan Sect a thousand years ago."
Through Liang Cai's narration, Jiang Yun finally truly understood this world.
The founders of the six major sects were mostly righteous cultivators who opposed the demonic cult. They came to Ronan ten thousand years ago and established the seven major sects. However, the difference between the righteous and demonic cultivation methods was not the same as Jiang Yun's understanding of the cultivation philosophy. Instead, they were fundamentally different in their methods of cultivation.
Immortal cultivators absorb spiritual energy and transform it into mana, while demon cultivators absorb spiritual energy and transform it into magic power. One progresses slowly but is moderate and peaceful. The other progresses quickly but is prone to obsession.
For ten thousand years, the demonic sects in the center of the continent have mostly been fighting among themselves, as Ronan is a barren land compared to the center. However, there are always demonic sects that have been driven out of the center, hoping to use Ronan as a retreat. They cross the dangerous Yunluo Mountains and arrive here, and then the Ronan Immortal World War will ensue.
This was the case with the Hehuan Sect thousands of years ago. They were the sect that fled to Ronan after the Demon Sect was defeated and took root there. Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, under the instigation of another Demon Sect, they were still wiped out by the combined efforts of the six major sects.
The six major sects have always been exploring the East China Sea, hoping that one day they can find a new world of immortal cultivation on the sea and avoid the threat from the north.
"So that's how it is." From then on, Jiang Yun had a rough map of the Xuantian Continent in his mind, with Ronan in the south and the Demonic Path in the center.
The Ronan Immortal Realm was more like a remote place in the southeast of the continent. The south and east were all ocean, and only the north and west were surrounded by mountains and deserts.
After explaining the basic common sense of Xuantian Continent, Liang Cai continued:
"I wasn't without reason when I said you'd be heading to the East China Sea soon. The East China Sea stronghold was originally under attack by sea beasts, but with True Lord Bixia leading the team there, the situation will likely be stabilized quickly. The spiritual cavities on the East China Sea islands are no less spiritually dense than Feilai Peak. Once stability is achieved there, Fairy Qiuyue will definitely allow you to head to the East China Sea."
After hearing this, Jiang Yun understood that this was likely the case. Qiuyue hadn't said anything when she left, knowing that her future there was uncertain. But if they were planning to stay there permanently, they would probably let him go as soon as possible.
But before leaving, we must first settle the grudges here.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liang, for clearing up my doubts. Now let's plan carefully how to deal with these two Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
A month passed quickly and the entire medicine garden returned to peace. It was heard that the newly sent monks from the sect were on the way and would arrive soon.
On this day, Liang Cai had been waiting at the entrance to the medicine garden. Sure enough, not long after, a beam of light suddenly flew in from the horizon. It was the Biyun Sect's standard spirit boat.
"Welcome, welcome Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Jiang."
When Liang Cai saw the flying boat, he immediately bowed respectfully and waited.
When the flying boat arrived at the entrance of the medicine garden, five cultivators leaped off. The first two were surprisingly two Foundation Establishment cultivators, He Zhou and Jiang Xian. The rest were the three disciples sent this time.
"Please! Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Jiang, please!"
Seeing this, Liang Cai hurriedly opened the entrance to the medicine garden. He Zhou, who was leading the way, glanced at Liang Cai and walked in with everyone else in an expressionless face.
"Please, brothers, try the local specialties."
Liang Cai pointed at the rice in front of him and said enthusiastically:
"Junior Brother Liang, don't rush to eat. Where is Jiang Yun?"
Jiang Xian looked at the food in front of him, shook his head and said:
"Well, after this incident, Jiang Yun left the medicine garden. I heard he went to a nearby market to take shelter."
As soon as Liang Cai finished speaking, Jiang Xian and He Zhou's expressions changed and said:
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to keep a close watch on me?" He Zhou looked at Liang Cai coldly and said:
"Brother He, please be patient. I have already planted ambergris on him. With the scent-seeking rat here, he can't escape. And it's not a good idea to attack him here!"
After Liang Cai finished speaking, he looked at He Zhou deeply.
"Hmph! True Lord Bixia is already planning to stay in the East China Sea for a long time. If we don't deal with this now, it will be troublesome when Jiang Qiuyue returns. True Lord Lin Ping of the Lin family has already agreed to this matter, so what are you worried about, Junior Brother?"
He Zhou looked at Liang Cai coldly, feeling extremely dissatisfied with him. Unexpectedly, there were still twists and turns. He glanced at Jiang Xian obscurely.
Jiang Xian took over and said:
"Jiang Yun's matter is my Jiang family's business. He is related to the disappearance of two Jiang family cultivators and Lin Yong, the direct descendant of the Lin family. He also colluded with the demonic cultivators to destroy the medicine garden. Publicly, he has let down the sect, and privately, he has let down my Jiang family. Junior Brother Liang, please make an effort to find him as soon as possible."
After hearing Jiang Xian's words, Liang Cai sneered inwardly. Everyone knew that the Jiang family had been basking in their former glory ever since their ancestor's passing. And to curry favor with the Lin family, they had actually turned two of their own Qilins into their enemies. What a shortsighted family!
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Jiang is right. Jiang Yun's whereabouts will be confirmed soon. Let's eat first. Dragon Tooth Rice is not common in the sect, and the spirit wine brewed from it is even more extraordinary. Please! Please!"
Liang Cai poured a full glass of wine for the two brothers while he was speaking. He even picked up a glass himself and apologized:
"Junior brother, you are being suspicious. I would like to apologize to my two senior brothers. Cheers!" After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Seeing this, He Zhou's expression relaxed. Smelling the tempting aroma of wine, he couldn't help but pick it up and drink a glass with Jiang Xian.
"Please! Try the spirit fish here. They are fed with dragon tooth rice husks and have a unique flavor."
The two of them finally put aside their differences and began to clink glasses and chat happily.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Xian wiped his mouth and said:
"My two junior brothers, don't let your guard down. Last time, my third brother Jiang Zhuo took Jiang Qi, my son Jiang Feng, and Lin Yong from the Lin family with him, and they mysteriously disappeared. I suspect there might be someone else behind Jiang Yun."
"Haha, Senior Brother Jiang, you're worrying too much. I haven't seen Jiang Yun interacting with other people during the time he's been here." Liang Cai laughed and opened the formation restriction. After they arrived at the exit of the medicine garden, he took out the scent-seeking rat and fed it a pill. Immediately, the rat's nose twitched.
"Don't worry, as long as he still has ambergris on him, he will definitely not be able to escape the nose of the scent-seeking rat."
Sure enough, as soon as Liang Cai finished speaking, the scent-seeking rat immediately rushed out in one direction.
"Look! We found the direction!" The three of them hurriedly followed and ran in the direction where the rat had gone.
