"What do you mean?" Lu Ye turned to look at Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran said, "The earliest of us to wander here was three hundred years ago, and the latest was a hundred years ago. So many years have passed, and the resources that we brought here have almost been used up. If cultivators don't have resources, how can they maintain their strength? When we encounter them, won't we be at the mercy of others? However, if we want to obtain resources in this realm, we either have to join the Red Talisman Association or rely on the Saint Blood Mountain. Otherwise, we can only find some useful spiritual plants in the wild … "
After listening to his explanation, Lu Ye finally understood what he meant.
If a cultivator didn't have resources, their strength would continue to weaken unless they never used their magic power. However, this was impossible.
However, once they used their magic power, they couldn't replenish it. How much could they replenish if they only relied on finding useful spiritual plants in the wild?
This was why they fought over Lu Ye. They weren't interested in Lu Ye as a person, but the spiritual jades, spiritual crystals, and spiritual pills that Lu Ye brought in from the outside!
Fortunately, they were strong enough and hadn't been in this realm for too long. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.
Those cultivators who came to this realm earlier or were not strong enough had no other choice but to rely on the Saint Blood Mountain once they were contaminated with the Blood Clan's divine nature.
The rain of blood came and went quickly, stopping in less than an incense stick's worth of time. However, the haze in the sky did not disperse. Just as Lu Ye had seen at the beginning, it seemed that another rain of blood could fall at any time.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ye said, "Continue to talk about the Red Talisman Association and the Saint Blood Mountain."
"In what way?" Zhou Ran asked. After interacting with each other, he realized that Lu Ye wasn't a difficult person to serve. Therefore, there was a high chance that his life wouldn't be in danger. He relaxed a lot.
"In all ways." Lu Ye glanced at him.
Zhou Ran knew that he had misspoken, so he straightforwardly told him everything he knew. The others also added on from time to time. As time passed, Lu Ye gradually understood the situation of these two forces.
The more he understood, the more worried he became.
From his standpoint, he was on the same side as the Red Talisman Association cultivators. After all, they were all related to the Dwarf Clan. To a certain extent, they could be considered as brothers …
However, the Red Talisman Association didn't seem to be in a good situation now!
Firstly, in terms of numbers, the Red Talisman Association was at an absolute disadvantage.
The number of cultivators at the Saint Blood Peak was several times more than the Red Talisman Association. It was only natural that such a situation would occur. The Red Talisman Association only accepted cultivators who had not been tainted by the Saint Blood Peak. However, as long as a cultivator came to this region, the chances of not being tainted by the Saint Blood Peak was too small. As long as they were tainted by the Saint Blood Peak, they would naturally be branded with the mark of the Saint Blood Peak.
It had to be said that Yue Yao was not the only cultivator who had accidentally fallen into this world over the years. There were many other constellations as well. Once these constellations entered a place like this, how could they possibly have the ability to protect themselves when faced with so many Yue Yao? They would definitely have found a home long ago, and most of them would have joined Saint Blood Peak.
If it was just a difference in numbers, the Red Talisman Association wouldn't be in a difficult situation. After all, the cultivators on the Saint Blood Mountain's side were mixed in strength.
But the crux of the matter was that there was Rizhao at Sacred Blood Peak. Although Rizhao had only been promoted for a short period of time, he was still Rizhao. The difference of an entire realm was not something Yue Yao could contend against.
After that, the Saint Blood Mountain occupied the only spiritual jade vein in this region!
Therefore, the cultivators of Saint Blood Peak didn't have to worry about cultivation resources at all. On the other hand, the cultivators of the Red Talisman Association were like the cultivators of the Three Realms when they first arrived at the Wanxiang Sea. They had to tighten their belts and even avoid fighting as much as possible so that they wouldn't be able to replenish their energy.
The Spirit Jade Vein had undoubtedly contributed a lot to Nicho's advancement.
In terms of numbers, quality, and resources, the Red Talisman Association was far from being a match for Saint Blood Peak.
The reason why they were able to resist until now was because of the Red Talisman Association!
Yue Yao, who was sent by the Dwarf Race, were all accompanied by Red Talismans. After so many years, these Red Talismans had been nourished by their blood and Qi. It could be said that the power of any Red Talisman when activated was not inferior to Rizhao's personal attack!
Therefore, even though Saint Blood Peak had Rizhao, they were unable to unify the realm. Just like that, the competition between the two sides was in a stalemate.
After learning all this information, Lu Ye's heart was somewhat heavy. On one hand, he was worried about his future. On the other hand, he was sad about the Red Talisman Association's situation.
As he pondered, Lu Ye said, "You guys are scattered outside. Hasn't Saint Blood Peak thought of taking you in? What about the Red Talisman Association? They haven't thought of getting rid of you guys first. After all, you guys will join Saint Blood Peak sooner or later. Getting rid of you guys is equivalent to eliminating some danger in advance. "
Xiang Yin laughed bitterly. "Brother, you're a sensible person. However, you've already said that we'll join Saint Blood Peak sooner or later. Why would they be in a hurry to take us in? After all, we're not weak. If they really take us in by force, it'll be difficult for us to submit. As for the Red Talisman Association … they won't easily clash with us unless it's necessary. "
The reason was that they lacked resources. Fighting consumed magic power and they had to replenish it later. Therefore, even if the Red Talisman Association knew that there were scattered cultivators like Xiang Yin and the others outside, they didn't have the energy to deal with them. They could only let them do as they pleased.
Xiang Yin and the others seemed to be independent. However, if they really encountered danger, they would definitely band together to help each other. This was also the reason why the four of them were able to rush over quickly when Lu Ye arrived. Their cave residences weren't far from each other, so they could quickly provide support to others.
Lu Ye understood and had a general understanding of the general situation in this realm.
"Tell me, have you ever heard of how to leave this domain in the past few years?"
He thought that they wouldn't be able to provide any useful clues, but Xiang Yin immediately said, "There's a rumor that as long as the Red Talisman Association and Saint Blood Peak win, the seal of this realm will be broken. At that time, we'll be able to enter and leave freely."
Lu Ye frowned. "Why would the victory of these two forces be related to the seal of this realm?" Was there some mystery behind this? Lu Ye couldn't understand.
Xiang Yin shook her head. "That's what everyone is saying. As for why, no one knows. However, I heard that it has something to do with the Battle of the Black Abyss."
Lu Ye's eyes flashed. "The Battle of the Black Abyss?"
He had once participated in the Battle of the Black Abyss as an external aid of the Dwarf Race. There was a Battle of the Black Abyss here. Were two Black Abyss's the same thing?
Whether or not they were the same thing, there must be a connection!
"Yes. Every ten years, the Red Talisman Association and Saint Blood Peak will have a Battle of the Black Abyss. At that time, all the cultivators of the two forces will participate. It's said that as long as there's a winner, the situation in the realm will change and the seal will be broken."
"When was the last Battle of the Black Abyss?"
"It was nine years ago."
Lu Ye raised his brows. This meant that there was still a year until the next Battle of the Black Abyss.
However, the realm had been in a sealed state until now. This also meant that the two forces in this realm had yet to decide a winner!
The Red Talisman Association was very strong! It wasn't strange when he thought about it. Even if their opponent had Rizhao, as long as Yue Yao with the Red Talisman Association kept Rizhao in check, Saint Blood Peak's strongest force wouldn't be able to display its strength.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ye learned a lot of information about this realm. However, there were also many things he didn't understand. However, these doubts couldn't be answered by Xiang Yin and the others.
A long silence ensued as he pondered.
After the time it would take to brew a cup of tea, Lu Ye opened his mouth and asked one last question. "Tell me, where is the Red Talisman Association's base?"
Xiang Yin shook her head. "I don't know. The Red Talisman Association's base is extremely secretive. Saint Blood Peak has been searching for it for so many years, but unfortunately, they haven't found much." After saying this, she was a bit puzzled. "Why is Dao Brother asking about the Red Talisman Association's base?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't he be asking about Saint Blood Peak's location? After all, Lu Ye was a member of the Blood Tribe.
Lu Ye looked at her indifferently and didn't say anything.
Xiang Yin's body trembled. She realized that she had spoken out of turn and hurriedly lowered her head.
"Alright, there's nothing else for you to do." Lu Ye waved his hand.
The cultivators glanced at each other. Zhou Ran and Wang Taisheng cupped their fists in unison and quickly left.
Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu also bowed gracefully and returned in the direction they came from.
Lu Ye was still sitting upright on the large rock, planning his next steps.
First of all, he had to find the Red Talisman Association. Everyone was a family. As long as he could join them, many of his doubts would be answered.
Unfortunately, he didn't know where to start looking. He could only take one step at a time. This Inner World shouldn't be too big. He should be able to find something if he looked around.
In addition, he could also try to make contact with Saint Blood Peak. Xiang Yin and the others had mistaken him for a member of the Blood Tribe, so he had a natural advantage. Moreover, compared to the Red Talisman Association, Saint Blood Peak was easier to find.
"Little Sister!" A suppressed cry of surprise sounded.
Lu Ye looked up and saw Xiang Yin, who had already gone far away, suddenly turn around and fly back to him. She quickly landed in front of him, then took out a jade slip and activated it with her Divine Sense.
Lu Ye didn't disturb her. He simply waited and observed.
After a short while, Xiang Yin handed the jade slip to Lu Ye and said, "Brother, this is a rough map of this realm. It might not be very accurate, but please make do with it."
Lu Ye accepted it and nodded. "Thank you!"
Xiang Yin smiled. "It's nothing. There's also something you must remember."
"What is it?"
Xiang Yin's expression became serious. "Don't seek refuge with Saint Blood Peak!"
Lu Ye's eyes flashed. "Why?"
Xiang Yin said, "Your holiness … is too strong, but your cultivation base isn't high. I once sensed Blazing Heaven's holiness from afar … That's right, Blazing Heaven is Rizhao from Saint Blood Peak. Compared to you, he's like a firefly compared to the bright moon. Your holiness is so strong, but your strength is inferior to his. If you seek refuge with him, I'm afraid you won't be able to return alive!"
