Phoenix Destroyer
17. Human Territory

The human race is divided into two. Humans who could cultivate became immortals and humans who could not cultivate.

Humans who can cultivate are called cultivators. They have spiritual roots in the body that are differentiated into five elements. Water, fire, gold, earth, and wood.

There were also rare mutant spiritual roots, such as wind, thunder, ice, light, and dark.

Spiritual roots were a major factor in sect recruitment. Usually cultivators with a single spiritual root or heavenly spiritual root were the cultivation targets of the big sects.

As the fewer spiritual roots in the body, the faster the aura absorption, then it could quickly increase cultivation. And the more spiritual roots, the slower the aura absorption, which made cultivation slow.

And they will become the pillars of the sect in the future.

The power in the human territory was divided into three Kingdoms, five Families, and the top seven Sects.

The three cultivating kingdoms consisted of the Hua Kingdom in the southeast region under the surname Han.

The Ming Kingdom in the northwestern region under the surname Mo.

And the Chen Kingdom in the northern region under the surname Chi.

The top five families consisted of the Alchemy Family, with the surname Gu.

Formation Family, Fu.

The Fetish Family, Jiang.

Refining Family, Xiao.

And the Tianji Pavilion that specialized in divination and trading news, with the surname Meng.

The top seven sects with the number one sect, Chengxin Zongmen.

Continued with Zhaoyang Jianmen, whose disciple was entirely a sword cultivator.

Tianying Zongmen's.

Honglian Zongmen, a sect that only accepts female disciples.

Baiyun Zongmen's.

Wuzhuan Zongmenu.

And the Caodi Valley, which specializes in growing spiritual grass.

For many years ordinary cultivators followed these great powers to dominate the human realm.

Liucheng county.

The human territory was further divided into several large cities and many small towns.

Liucheng was a second-tier city with a God Transforming cultivator sitting as the Mayor.

Liucheng was under the jurisdiction of the Bailuo Sect, a mid-level sect affiliated with the top Sect of Baiyun Zongmen.

Recently Liucheng had a lot of people coming from outside. Some powers came in groups and some cultivators came independently.

"Tianlu forest has been getting dangerous lately."

"People from great powers are vying to go inside."

"Is there anything extraordinary? Treasure of heaven and earth?"

"Someone accidentally discovered the cave relics of the Fusi cultivator."

"Wow! If only I could get that chance!"

"With your cultivation, can you enter the Tianlu Forest?"

"Now that Tianlu Forest is not only a gathering place for humans, many ferocious beasts have discovered the existence of humans and hunted them down."

"Hum, we little cultivators don't have the strength against those ferocious beasts."

In a private room on the second floor, two handsome young men listened to the news wandering downstairs.

"What do you think, Brother Li?"

The handsome young man with the folding fan in his hand chimed in. "Let's see? We haven't seen many other cultivators, it's always good to fit in."

The two left the restaurant and bought a map of Tianlu Forest.

Tianlu Forest was a vast wilderness. If you go into the interior of the Forest, you will get some random spiritual grass. And hunt wild animals for resources.

Also several high-level beasts encircled a territory there.

The recently talked about cave cultivator, was found in the most central part of Tianlu Forest. It took a lot of effort and expense to reach the central part, except for the great powers, rarely were loose cultivators willing to enter.

Both of them were Feng Mo and Kong Li, they had settled in Liucheng for several months. After the flying ship belonging to the sect took them down, they settled down in a small town nearby.

Looking at the number of Foundation cultivators like the chinese cabbage, Feng Mo felt a crisis for the first time.

Once they found a rental yard, the two closed the door to cultivation. And came out recently.

When they came out, news of the Fusi cultivator cave was flying everywhere. Now that both of them need something to hone their skills, this opportunity comes the right way.

"The Fusion Cultivator Cave has long been discovered, but nothing seems to have happened?" Kong Li was confused. Didn't they fight for it? Why is it still so calm?

"Either there is a very strong limitation or they are still deliberating about the division of the spoils."

"Can they still negotiate?" Their demon clan had always advocated for a fight at all times.

Kong Li who never came out of the demon territory.

Feng Mo had a black line on his face. He did not know much about the common sense of the demon clan. He had only learned the common sense of the world when they arrived at Haicheng.

And most of the people in Haicheng were human cultivators. So it was only natural that he thought like most humans.

"Which power comes?" added Kong Li.

"Mansion City lord, Bailuo Sect, and the great families of local cultivators."

Kong Li shook the fan in his hand. After returning her appearance to a young age, she increasingly felt confident and arrogant. He also placed himself as an elder Feng Mo.

Even though they both look the same age.

"We just have to roam the outskirts of the Forest, whether we can enter the interior depends on luck."

With their cultivation, breaking through the inner part of Tianlu Forest was akin to seeking death.

"Yes." Yeah."

The two went again to buy some talismans and formations.

After preparing for the night, Feng Mo and Kong Li went to Tianlu Forest.

Tianlu Forest was a day away on foot, Feng Mo and Kong Li bought flying swords and flew for three hours. During the journey, the two encountered many cultivators.

A field lay outside the Tianlu Forest. People gather in groups. And many rest tents were built.

The arrival of Feng Mo and Kong Li did not cause the attention of many cultivators who came and went to Tianlu Forest. The two mingled with the crowd and eavesdropped on the other person's conversation.

"The city lord's mansion has created a boundary, other than those powers, no one is allowed to go deeper."

"Tsk, they don't want our ordinary cultivators to share resources, do they?"

"If you want resources, the Tiger Gang recruits cultivators, it looks like they want to compete with the City Lord's Mansion for the Fusion Cultivator Cave."

"really?"

"You guys don't become the Tiger Gang's cannon fodder, even if they get the resources, they definitely won't share them with you."

Feng Mo and Kong Li looked at each other. The two discussed directions and went into the forest.

Tianlu Forest was a wilderness that spanned many miles away. Dense plants become the source of income of the surrounding population.

Tianlu Forest was also often used as a trial ground by the nearby sects.

Feng Mo and Kong Li wandered around for some time before encountering a second-rate ferocious beast. Feng Mo came forward to fight with the ferocious beast.

After the fight back and forth, Feng Mo killed the ferocious beast and stored its corpse.

His universe could only be entered by dead things. As for living beings, Feng Mo did not dare to bet.

The two continued on their way, occasionally stopping when they found spiritual grass.

When they discovered the horde of second-rate boars, Kong Li could not hold back his saliva.

"Xiaomo, we have fresh meat." Kong Li was getting bored with the taste of the octopus barbeque before. Although the value of the aura inside was enormous, but eating it at all times, his tongue was almost bland.

Now Kong Li thought about the hundred ways of cooking wild boar.

"Come, move fast! The night is coming soon."

The two fought quickly and neatly. After collecting the corpses, they searched for a flat place to build a tent.

A few months later.

Feng Mo was sitting in front of an alchemy furnace and making a poison pill. He had set aside a bit of the poison he had discovered all along for research.

Feng Mo was planning to concoct a poison pill, which he would use in moments of urgency.

After several trials, the batch of low-level poison pills was successfully refined. For example a sleeping pill, all Foundation cultivators and below would be blown away after a quarter of an incense stick and fall asleep. They will be fully awake after going to bed for the night.

This pill is perfect for doing something secret or for adding time to escape.

Feng Mo was satisfied with his research.

Suddenly his formation was touched, Feng Mo spread his consciousness and saw Kong Li standing outside the formation.

"Brother Li, did something happen?" Feng Mo walked out of the tent and saw Kong Li's embarrassed appearance.

Kong Li's hair and clothes were a little messy.

Kong Li smiled bitterly. "It looks like something happened in the interior of the Forest. When I went around earlier, I met a horde of level 4 monsters. If I don't escape quickly, I'll probably die."

"Level 4?!"

They were on the outskirts of the forest, even if they encountered a level 4 monster, it was only one or two. But a bunch, another story.

"Should we go back outside first?"

"Yes, we don't know what's going on inside the forest, just in case something big comes along."

The two packed up and returned to the outside of the forest. They passed by several cultivators who had the same thought.

Outside of Tianlu Forest was extremely crowded. Many cultivators crowded around two three people. The sound of many people adds to the noise.

"Something happens! Riot of beasts, they seemed to be running away to live."

"God! Didn't you see the wounded there? They were disciples of Bailuo Sect! Something must have happened in the Fusi cultivator cave!"

Feng Mo looked at the group of yellow-robed cultivators. Their faces looked ugly and most of them were injured.

"What the hell is going on?"

"How do I know? But that's definitely not a good thing."

"Down your voice, don't provoke those people."

Feng Mo and Kong Li looked for a secluded place and spoke quietly.

"For months, they haven't been able to open the cave?"

"That's a Fusi cultivator cave! At least that cave was protected by a level 6 formation or higher."

"They didn't seek the help of a formation master?"

"Maybe they don't want to share the spoils with others anymore? However it seemed like the news of the Fusi cultivator cave was not spread widely."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Wait, if nothing changes, let's go back to town."

Then they look for a place to build a tent.
