"The breath is gone, the person is gone..."
Zhu Li sensed the surroundings and, after confirming that all the auras had disappeared, breathed a sigh of relief.
"There was no sign of fighting, so someone must have intervened. The one who could make such a fierce person retreat... must be Senior Chongmuzi of the Qingmu Dao Sect."
Shen Yunhao remembered that the Qingmu Dao Sect was a truly first-class sect in Yunzhou, much stronger than the Huayin Palace, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Chong Muzi very powerful?"
"That's for sure. After all, he was a powerful figure from the same era as the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace. Even on the entire Tianji Continent, he was quite formidable! Although the foundation of Qingmu Dao Sect is not as strong as the Seven Great Sects of the Righteous Path, it is still much stronger than other first-class sects."
After spending so many days with Zhuli, Shen Yunhao also learned a lot about this continent and the cultivation world from the little white dragon.
What interests him most are the seven major sects of the righteous path, which are on par with the Guanghan Palace and represent the current righteous cultivation world!
The Tianji Continent is divided into nine provinces, which are separated into east and west sides by the "Dark Abyss" in the middle of the continent.
East of the Dark Abyss are the six continents of Yun, Dan, Yu, Huang, Zhong, and Jin. Yun and Dan are in the north, Yu and Huang are in the south, and Zhong and Jin are in the middle.
The seven major sects of the righteous path are all located within these six continents: Guanghan Palace in Yunzhou, Piaomiao Pavilion in Danzhou, Yaowang Valley in Jinzhou, Lingyin Temple in Yuzhou, Dahuang Gate in Huangzhou, and Taixuan Dao Sect and Cangqiong Sword Pavilion in Zhongzhou!
The reason for using the term "righteous path" in front of it is because it involves the most serious topic in the entire cultivation world—the struggle between good and evil!
The Demonic Sect truly exists in this world.
The two infamous and feared demonic sects on the mainland, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the Blood Sect, are located in Thunder Continent and Illusion Continent, west of the Dark Abyss.
Regarding this phenomenon, Shen Yunhao once asked Zhu Li that the individual strength of the Demon Sect was similar to that of the seven major sects of the righteous path, but the righteous path had a total of seven major sects, and their overall strength should be far superior to that of the Demon Sect!
Why would the righteous path allow the demonic sect to live peacefully in Thunder Continent and Illusion Continent instead of gathering their strength to fight and wipe them out completely?
When Zhu Li heard Shen Yunhao's question, she simply chuckled and shook her head.
Later, Shen Yunhao learned that Yunzhou Tianyuan was known as the second largest rift valley on the continent, while the first was the Dark Abyss, which divided Tianji Continent into two parts, east and west!
If righteous people want to suppress the demonic sect, the first step is to cross this terrifying abyss that stretches for thousands of miles!
The Dark Abyss is perpetually shrouded in "illusory demonic energy" that can corrode spiritual energy. When one is inside, one's divine sense cannot spread, and magical treasures will lose their effectiveness.
Within that illusory demonic energy, there also exist many extremely powerful demonic creatures. These demonic creatures are formed from the illusory demonic energy, have no intelligence, and only attack all living things in the Dark Abyss indiscriminately.
Even a high-level cultivator would face a near-certain death if they accidentally entered such a dangerous place; survival would be extremely difficult!
Only those ancient monsters with extraordinary cultivation can cross the Dark Abyss with their superior strength.
However, organizing a large righteous army to cross this chasm would undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties, and even if they could succeed, they would pay an unparalleled and devastating price...
This is also the main reason why, despite the righteous path being prosperous and stronger than the demonic sect, it is difficult for them to reach the other side of the Dark Abyss.
Throughout history, many major wars between the righteous and demonic factions have occurred when the demonic sect infiltrated the six continents to cause trouble and set off attacks, forcing the seven righteous sects to form a united front. Although the demonic sect was always badly defeated, it was never seriously injured and would always make a comeback many years later.
Hearing this, Shen Yunhao asked again, "Since the Dark Abyss is so difficult to cross, why are the people from the Demonic Sect able to come here from Li Continent and Huan Continent to cause trouble?"
"I'm not too sure about that either. I heard it's related to the Dead Sea beneath the Dark Abyss..."
"Furthermore, even if the righteous army goes through countless hardships to cross the Dark Abyss and deal with the Demon Sect, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses and be severely weakened. If the demon race, which was originally neutral, suddenly launches an attack, how will the human race respond?"
The demon race... is what mortals call monsters.
This was also the first time Shen Yunhao had heard specific information about this mysterious clan from Zhu Li.
Besides the six continents occupied by the righteous path and the two continents occupied by the demonic sect, the last remaining continent on the Tianji Continent is Li Continent, located in the northwest corner of the continent. It is ruled by the Demon Emperor Ye Wushang and is the largest gathering place of demons on the continent.
The demon race has a rather special status. Although they are not as universally hated as the members of the Demonic Sect, they are still considered outcasts by mortals and are associated with calamities.
In addition, there are indeed many cases in the world of monsters that have not yet developed intelligence and have injured or eaten people.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators would choose to drive away or kill low-level monsters if they encountered them, in order to prevent them from causing harm to the human world.
From the perspective of the demon race, they hate the righteous human race who are eager to kill them, and they despise the demonic sects for their despicable actions. Therefore, they have always remained neutral and do not participate in the conflict between the righteous and the demonic.
In addition to the land-dwelling demon races of Lizhou, the Tianji Continent is also home to countless sea-dwelling demon races in its vast ocean.
Among them, the North Sea Dragon Clan and the East Sea Dragon Clan are the most powerful, independent of all demons, and do not have to obey the jurisdiction of the Demon Emperor Ye Wushang.
Zhu Li is none other than the North Sea Dragon Clan, north of Yunzhou!
As for the attitude of the dragon race towards the human race, it is the same as that of other demon races: maintaining neutrality and not interfering too much in the struggle between good and evil.
After listening to Zhu Li's explanation, Shen Yunhao finally gained a basic understanding of the distribution of all forces and the situation on the Tianji Continent.
The image of the colossal Guanghan Palace in Yunzhou became increasingly vivid in his mind.
...
Three days later.
Beneath the abyss, the boy sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
