Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1063 Northern Wilderness Realm

In the Northern Wilderness Realm, the Ruyi Seal also has a stronghold.

It is precisely because of this that Su Han would go there, otherwise, it would take at least more than a year based solely on his speed.

However, that stronghold is located on the southwest side of the Northern Wilderness Realm, which is still about a hundred thousand miles away from the Heavenly Desert Sea.

When Su Han and Bai Ling walked out of the vortex, both frowned deeply.

For both Su Han and Bai Ling, this was their first time in the Northern Wilderness Realm, and the surrounding environment finally made them understand why it was called the ”Northern Wilderness.”

Desolation, an expanse of desolation!

This was the first impression the Northern Wilderness Realm gave to Su Han and Bai Ling.

This land is barren, surrounded by a vast desert, with barely a trace of spiritual energy to be felt, and in some places, as they walked, it felt as if the heavens and earth were cut off, with no spiritual energy at all!

Looking around, not a person in sight; all that could be seen was desert.

This is the Northern Wilderness Realm!

The Northern Wilderness Realm is vast, larger than the other three realms, and the Central Domain, and it is all like this, not just the part where Su Han and Bai Ling are located.

Compared to the other three realms and the Central Domain, battles among the cultivators in the Northern Wilderness are the most frequent.

Due to the desolation, spiritual energy is extremely scarce; spirit stones even more so.

In the Northern Wilderness Realm, one spirit stone is equivalent to using ten, and for cultivators, spirit stones that are commonly seen in the other three realms are considered ’rare’ here.

Over ninety percent of the battles are caused by resource disputes, compared to the so-called ”hatred,” which ranks second.

”I’ve long heard that the Northern Wilderness Realm is desolate and resource-scarce, and judging by now, it truly is.”

Bai Ling sighed, ”I really don’t know how the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness Realm survive, if I had to live in such a spiritual energy-poor place, I really wouldn’t survive.”

”That’s because you weren’t forced to.”

Su Han smiled and said, ”There is a reason for the existence of any place. Although spirit stones are scarce in the Northern Wilderness Realm, it abounds in artifact refining materials, which are extremely rare in the other three realms and the Central Domain.”

”I do know that.”

Bai Ling frowned and said, ”But that being said, the number of cultivators in the Northern Wilderness Realm is also the highest on the entire Dragon Martial Continent, equivalent to the combined total of the other three realms. Moreover, those artifact refining materials are almost in the hands of some grand powers in the Northern Wilderness Realm, leaving even less for the scattered loose cultivators.”

”Everyone has their own fate; if they truly couldn’t survive, why would they continue to live here instead of moving to the other three realms or the Central Domain?”

Su Han smiled faintly, ”There must be some reason for that, you don’t need to sigh, perhaps they live much better than you.”

”True.” Bai Ling nodded.

Without hesitation, the two increased their speed and headed straight for the place where the Ye family was located.

As they traveled, they gradually saw more people, growing denser, until finally, it was teeming with people, giving them a sense of just how populous the Northern Wilderness Realm was.

In the desert of the Northern Wilderness Realm, there are no cities or kingdoms; those grand powers rule over their territory and establish their own sect residences, and except for these, cultivators live without roofs or walls, as if the sky is their blanket and the earth their mattress.

No one dares to open any tavern or inn here, for if they do, it will be robbed within days.

Those grand powers only care about artifact refining materials, as for businesses like taverns which aren’t particularly profitable, they won’t bother with them since they aren’t highly lucrative and require dedicated guards, which is troublesome.

...

Two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Su Han and others witnessed no fewer than a thousand battles, almost all over resources.

Even they personally experienced dozens of battles.

It wasn’t them provoking others, but others seeing their luxurious clothing and immediately trying to rob them without any words.

In the end, Su Han, thoroughly fed up with these random battles, released his aura, which everyone could feel within a hundred miles.

Sure enough, after doing so, few dared to cause them trouble.

The two also saw some almost depleted mineral veins, evidently mined empty by others; within these frantic mining areas, artifact refining materials abound, and such mineral veins are rare in the other three realms and the Central Domain, not to mention the rare ones.

At this moment, there was a gigantic mineral vein exposed outdoors, with countless figures mining within it.

The aura of these figures was mostly in the Dragon Vein Realm and Dragon Blood Realm, appearing very young, only the ones overseeing the vein occasionally had individuals at the Dragon God Realm.

Su Han looked up and saw this vein stretching tens of thousands of miles, the end not visible, extending into the distance like a dragon’s body.

Cartloads of ore were being hauled out, which others then stored in their space rings; only when it couldn’t hold anymore would it be transported away.

This operation was very rhythmic, clearly having been going on for a long time.

The cultivators in the Northern Wilderness Realm are the only ones on the Dragon Martial Continent with jobs, and their job is mining.

Many loose cultivators are hired by those grand powers to mine, and the higher the cultivation base, the faster the mining speed, thus earning a higher reward.

This is one of the major sources of income for those loose cultivators in the Northern Wilderness Realm.

And at this moment, the cultivators in the mineral vein before them wore different clothes, but all bore a single large character on their chest — Ye!

”People from the Ye family?” Bai Ling asked.

”It should be.”

Su Han pointed into the distance, ”Do you see it? The castle of the Ye family is right there. Compared to the other places we’ve passed, that castle really can be called luxurious.”

Bai Ling naturally saw it. In the Northern Wilderness Realm, those grand powers’ so-called sect residences are actually clusters of castles, while in the Eastern Heaven Realm, Xiliang Territory, and Central Domain, they are palaces.

As for the sect residences in the South Sea Realm, they are almost all groups of islands.

The Ye family’s castle cluster is vast, with countless castles within, and on the eastern side of this castle cluster, about a hundred miles away, is a giant river.

This river is said to pierce the heavens, connecting the northern and southern Eastern Heaven Realm, with a width stretching tens of thousands of miles east to west!

This river is the largest one in the Northern Wilderness Realm and the only one throughout the Northern Wilderness Realm, and its name is the Heavenly Desert Sea!

Opposite the Ye family, is the Xuanyuan Clan.
