Chapter 271

    Li Su’s speed had significantly improved. Last time, it took over a month to reach the secret island in Mystic Moon, but this time, it took less than two days. With increased strength, even distant journeys now seem closer. However, this was not the endpoint of his journey. This area is the territory of the aquatic clans of the East Sea. The commotion caused by Mystic Moon’s breakthrough was too significant, and the disturbances behind it were even greater, so it was not suitable to stay here.@@@@

    Li Su continued to head southeast, flying for a few more days, and finally, there was a change up ahead. There was an unexpected fault line in the sea up ahead. It seemed like he had reached the end of the sea. As Li Su flew above this fault line, he saw that the seawater was rushing crazily downwards, flowing into an unknown destination.

    Beyond this point, there was nothing but a hazy, gray expanse. “Boundary,” Li Su murmured. This was the boundary of the Canglan Realm, which was exceptionally vast, even for cultivators below the Refinement Void stage. However, the Canglan Realm did have its boundaries, and Li Su soon identified the location using a magical tool.

    Unlike territories with sacred lands, the Canglan Realm’s boundaries were not tightly maintained. There were numerous passages in and out. Mystic Moon provided Li Su with a method to locate these passages. Once he found a passage, Li Su entered it, and it led him to a hazy expanse as if there was an area covered in mist stretching for miles.

    Soon, Li Su emerged from this area. As he exited the passage, another sea came into view, but this sea was not very large, and Li Su flew out of it in just a few hours. Beyond that was an endless expanse of land. The spiritual energy here wasn’t very dense, similar to the peripheral areas like the Hopeful Immortal Peak. However, as one moved closer to the central region, the spiritual energy became richer.

    Furthermore, these sinister cults rarely venture into other territories for activities, which, to some extent, demonstrates their discretion and allows them to endure.

    Every few years, some of these malevolent groups were eliminated by formidable individuals. However, these forces were elusive and challenging to eradicate completely. They tend to resurface like uncontrollable wildfires that were hard to extinguish, reemerging each year.

    The turnover among these dark practitioners was indeed rapid. They frequently engage in conflicts with each other, and if they didn’t eliminate one of them, there was a chance that the sect might dissolve on its own within a few years. Soon, Li Su reached the border of the land and quickly established a formation.

    There weren’t many seas in the Demon Cloud Realm, but there were numerous lakes within the land. The demonic sects mainly operated in the central region, and there were fewer dark practitioners in the outer areas. Their overall strength was not exceptionally potent, mostly comparable with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

    According to Mystic Moon, only when a demonic sect reached the level of a Second-Rank Immortal Sect could they qualify to enter the domain where the demonic sect’s sacred land was located. Otherwise, they had to develop in other areas. As of now, the Heavenly Demon Sect has not yet reached the level of a Second-Rank Immortal Sect, meaning they have not reached the Refinement Void stage.

    It must have taken a considerable amount of time for the Heavenly Demon Sect, which was essentially a level below the “immortal” tier in the cultivation world, to advance into a Third-Rank Immortal Sect. Now, with the exceptionally talented Mystic Moon, they had likely come to value her truly. However, Mystic Moon had been continuously exploited, which was quite unfortunate.
