"I still want to visit the Yan Family. After all, I've eaten their food for over a decade. But that's just one reason; the other is about the word curse."

His eyebrows raised.

Unexpectedly, my junior brother still holds such loyalty and righteousness up to now. Clearly, they're just some ordinary people, life and death unrelated to him, and he could completely ignore them. Yet, he still thinks about helping them undo it...

"I think I might try to trick this thing out of the Yan Family. Just hearing about it sounds powerful, definitely a top-notch Daoist Skill. Anyway, with my current skills, I can't remove it, so I might as well learn it. I'm already starting to research Divine Soul. This thing is a secret technique related to Divine Soul, perfectly compatible!"

Silence.

She swallowed back her words.

She knew the behavior of this brat.

"The next step is to head into the territory of Dongyue. Oh, I've seen the map the sect gave us; it shows the general distribution of forces within Dongyue and the treasure sites."

"They call them treasure sites, but in reality, they're some ruined remains discovered in recent years, like hidden demon forces in the mountains or battlefields where many advanced cultivators once fought to the death."

"Or some places rich in Spiritual Energy, full of primary energy, that can produce more valuable Spirit Pills. By then, I should go near East A Mountain with Yue Yue first."

"The distance from the border to East A Mountain is about over seven hundred li, so we should barely manage to look out for each other, and then gradually explore inward with the main goal of enhancing our own strength."

"What do you think, Senior Sister?"

Turning to the matter at hand, Mr. Jiang's tone suddenly became much more serious; he stopped massaging his shoulders and spread the map given by the sect, laying it on the stone table.

Liu Xianzi was already used to this scene. This brat usually acts foolishly and without seriousness, but once serious, he'll showcase his powerful logical thinking ability.

Because Jiang Feng knew that this training journey was different from before. In the past, although they needed to run errands, work, and do tasks for the sect, the sect would ultimately give you sufficient support and assurance.

To give a simple example, even during the most dangerous time for Jiang Feng, which was the battle with the Golden Monk in Shuipang County at the southwest corner of the Central Plains, it was still within the area and jurisdiction of Purple Cloud Palace.

Therefore, after being entrapped, they could immediately notify fellow seniors and rush for a whole day to save people. Even the entire route had all of Purple Cloud Palace's forces mobilized, supporting two cripples for a few days to send them back.

This is the confidence the sect brought them.

But this time it's a whole two-year training, entirely different.

No external support, not within their jurisdiction, external forces occupying, and risks everywhere that are uncontrollable. Even though their sect token can sense each other's position within a hundred li, should someone get into trouble, they can look out for each other, but the problem is.

Dongyue spans six thousand nine hundred and seventy li in length, about three thousand eight hundred and fifty li in width.

Dongyue stands like a curved knife above the East Sea on the Divine Land; continuing eastward, countless large and small islands encircle the borders, fending off waves, while the native residents are quite xenophobic, easily unsheathing swords at the slightest disagreement with foreign forces.

Once you unfold the map, you'll notice that Dongyue occupies more than one-fifth of the area on this Divine Land, while the Central Plains occupies less than one-eighth of the entire map.

To put it this way, if you died in Dongyue's territory, it's not even certain whether the sect could avenge you or seek justice, perhaps no one would even know who killed you.

If not for entire Cultivation World's pressure and benefits Dongyue forces gained from the few grotto heavens discovered earlier, they probably wouldn't have chosen to back down. This is the uncontrollable nature of entering someone else's territory.

But surprisingly, Liu Xianzi glanced at the map and simply shook her head.

"What? Did I choose incorrectly here?"

A bit confused.

Shortly, Liu Tangxi gave him the answer.

"They think just like you."

"Dongyue's core forces are divided into three parts, occupying the upper, middle, and lower segments. Each splits into three clans, making up nine clans, with the Dragon, Jiao, and Snake clans being the strongest, occupying the most fertile land in the middle segment, the best in all Dongyue."

"The Tiger, Wolf, Leopard clans, and Eagle, Hawk, Sparrow clans occupy the lower and upper segments respectively. Other clans are scattered sporadically and aren't much of a threat. The place you chose happens to be between the upper three and middle three clans."

"This place is indeed not far from the Central Plains, and strictly speaking, it hasn't even formally entered Dongyue's Cultivation World jurisdiction, but this doesn't mean it's not strictly monitored."

"Dongyue's two side mountain ranges stretch thousands of li, although not like the barrier of Taihang or Heavenly Mountain, their height is still astonishing. Even birds find it hard to cross them, and this place has ancient ruins, making it suitable as a foothold."

"Therefore, the place would be chaotic."

"By this time, disciples from various sects should have descended the mountain, and more than half should head to Dongyue for training in preparation for the Phoenix Heavenly Cave two years later. Now look at this place's location again."

Following Senior Sister's thought forward, Mr. Jiang quickly inhaled sharply, discovering a critical problem.

That is, this location is at the junction of Dongyue, Southern Border, and Central Plains, somewhat similar to Country Liang's position, only it's more deeply into Dongyue's territory.

In other words, people from these three places will definitely collide here and engage in fierce battles.

"Now you understand?"

Without giving Jiang Feng a chance to speak, Liu Xianzi just used her nails to mark a few locations on the map.

"Five years ago, the Sect Master personally went to Dongyue to negotiate; top experts from various Cultivation World factions also sent representatives, even the Demon Race from the other end of Jiuzhou came."

"I don't know what exactly they discussed, but the agreement reached by all sect forces was to allow Sect Disciples to go ahead for training two years before the Phoenix Heavenly Cave opens."

"And allow their respective disciples to interact and spar. Every sect would send representatives to Dongyue, and experts from all factions would supervise each other to prevent accidents."

"What do you think? Does it seem very familiar?"

Nodding.

If I remember correctly, it was exactly the same scene when heading to Country Liang, including my Senior Sister, who upon arriving in Liang, first sought out those of the same level, both for monitoring and warning.

With so many experts around, whoever strikes first will be collectively attacked, even my Senior Sister once said if those old things attacked together, she might not withstand it.

Honestly, if it weren't for Jiang Feng's ruthless act in the end, shooting their grandson in front of two young grandfathers, the Jiu He brothers might not have made a move, and Liu Tangxi wouldn't have intervened.

"If I were you, I'd choose a place separate from all sect forces, and not at their junction."

"Even though you can spar with Gu Miyun this time, that's because he let you, and after your fight, you were like a dead dog while he remained unscathed. If you encountered him outside, you might not save yourself even with multiple lives."

"Moreover, there are always a few Disciples with extraordinary talent among each sect, and if you go late, you might personally witness the confrontation and balance between the eight families, twelve gates, and thirty-three sects, and those leading third-generation Disciples are all at the Nascent Soul Stage."

"If it were me, I'd choose to go directly to... here."

She pointed at the map.

Following my Senior Sister's finger, Jiang Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned because the place she chose was actually…

"What the... Dongyue City? Going right to their home?"
