So for Lu Ye and the others, if they really wanted to use this grade A spring for themselves, the first thing they had to solve was the problem of choosing a location.
After all, their cultivation bases were not high. With their cultivation bases, occupying a Third Grade Spiritual Land was not a big problem. It would not be easy to attract covetous eyes. However, occupying a First Grade Spiritual Land was a different story.
Once it was discovered by outsiders, it might cause some trouble.
Moreover, no matter who they were, their identities were very sensitive, and they were all people that Myriad Devil Ridge wanted to get rid of. Once the fact that they had a spirit land was exposed, it would definitely attract a large number of cultivators from Myriad Devil Ridge. At that time, not only would they not be able to keep the spirit land, even their safety would be a problem.
"I'll think of a way to choose a location." Li Baxian pondered for a moment. He had been in the Cloud River Battlefield longer than Lu Ye, and his connections weren't something that Lu Ye could compare to. It was best to leave this matter to him.
"Then I'll have to trouble senior apprentice-brother."
Feng Yuechan said, "This grade A spring should create a small scale spirit land, but even a small scale spirit land can hold five people. We only have four people now, so if junior apprentice-brother Lu has any suitable candidates, you can rope them in, so that we don't waste a spot."
"Speaking of candidates, I have one on my side." He turned to Li Baxian, "Senior apprentice-brother, do you still remember Ju Jia?"
Feng Yuechan hadn't seen Ju Jia before, but Li Baxian had. However, they didn't have much interaction, so after pondering for a moment, he remembered, "That body cultivator?"
"Yes, he came to the Cloud River Battlefield a few months before me. I was going to find him before the hunting ground, but I was delayed by the hunting ground, and haven't been able to meet up with him."
Li Baxian nodded, "His physique seems to be a bit unusual, junior apprentice-brother has good eyes. Since that's the case, junior apprentice-brother can call him over to meet up with us, and we'll have five people."
And among the five of them, one body and one weapon, one sword and two spells, such a lineup was very reasonable. If they encountered any trouble in the future, they could work together to deal with it.
Lu Ye sighed, "Ju Jia doesn't seem to be able to tell directions. I told him to come and meet up with me, but he got lost in a forest deep in the mountains. I told him to wait for me there, so I still need to find him."
Li Baxian couldn't help but laugh. "So there's something like that …"
It was hard to imagine that someone as big as Ju Jia could get lost in the Cloudy River Battlefield. However, there were always some people with special temperaments in this world that could not be judged by common sense.
"In that case, Junior Martial Brother Lu should go and look for Junior Martial Brother Giant Armor first. It just so happens that Senior Martial Brother and I are cultivating here with the help of the spirit sticks. Later on, we'll look for a place to place the Spring Spirit.
"That's good." Lu Ye nodded in agreement.
After the discussion was done, Lu Ye did not stay for long. Giant Beetle had been waiting for him for almost two months. He did not know if it was anxious.
A moment later, Lu Ye walked out from the front of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance and summoned his flying spirit artifact. He took to the sky and flew towards the direction that the giant armor had given him earlier.
Based on the map, Giant Armor's current location was in a mountain range called Mount Tai Mang. From the map, it could be seen that Mount Tai Mang was extremely large, and the core area was clearly marked with the word "Overlord".
This meant that there were overlord-class demonic beasts living in the deepest part of the Taimang Mountains.
Overlord was not a cultivation realm, but a title. It was a title that had reached the pinnacle of strength.
The overlord-class demonic beasts on the Spirit Stream Battlefield had reached the limit of what the Spirit Stream Battlefield could accommodate.
The same was true for the overlord-class demonic beasts on the Cloud River Battlefield. They had reached the limit of what the Cloud River Battlefield could accommodate.
The strength of the two was completely different. After all, their cultivation realms were different.
Under normal circumstances, places where overlord-class demonic beasts lived were basically forbidden areas for cultivators. No cultivator would be willing to trespass into an overlord-class demonic beast's territory unless they were tired of living.
This was also the reason why Lu Ye was able to establish himself as an overlord in the Myriad Devil Ridge as a cultivator, causing a huge impact on the hearts of the large sects.
Since ancient times, no cultivator on the Spirit Stream Battlefield had ever achieved such a feat. Even Feng Yuechan, who had dominated the Spirit Rhino Ranking for more than ten years, had not been able to do so.
The fact that there were overlord-class demonic beasts at the core of Mount Tai Mang undoubtedly meant that this was not a good place. In such a deep mountain forest, there were bound to be many demonic beasts living there. In the wilderness, the deeper one went, the more dangerous it was.
Mount Tai Mang was not close. Even with Lu Ye's current speed, it would take him at least ten days to reach it.
Fortunately, he had Yi Yi and Hu Po to accompany him along the way, so the journey was not boring. Furthermore, he could take turns to fly with Yi Yi, so if they traveled day and night, the journey time would be cut in half.
Flying along the way, Lu Ye enjoyed the unique scenery of the Cloud River Battlefield. Nothing happened along the way.
Occasionally, he would encounter some cultivators, but most of them did not disturb each other. There were a few who wanted to cause trouble because of their higher cultivation or numbers, but Lu Ye avoided them in advance or used his Flight Wings to escape.
With his current Fourth-Order cultivation, as long as he wasn't targeted by some Eighth or Ninth Order masters, he generally wouldn't be in any danger.
There were quite a few Eighth or Ninth Order Masters on the Cloud River Battlefield, but no one would chase after a cultivator from an unknown faction for no reason.
During the journey, Lu Ye did not forget to take pills and cultivate.
Six days passed in a flash. The travel-worn Lu Ye broke into Mount Tai Mang and contacted Giant Armor again to determine its exact location.
Looking at the map, Lu Ye raised his brow.
Giant Armor was quite courageous. Its current location was not on the periphery of Mount Tai Mang, but rather deep inside. After staying there for so long, Lu Ye did not know if it had encountered any danger.
However, this guy had a special physique and thick skin. His ability to protect himself was something that Lu Ye could not compare to, so there was no need to worry about his safety.
There were quite a few figures of cultivators appearing and disappearing in the Taimang Mountains. Most of them were in groups, and very few of them were alone.
This was a paradise for Monster Beasts. In the entire Cloud River Battlefield, there were seven or eight places where Monster Beasts gathered like Mount Tai Mang. Such places were naturally popular for cultivators.
Cultivators could hunt demonic beasts here and collect some natural treasures in exchange for some cultivation resources they needed. Although the cultivators from the various large sects had a monthly salary, it was basically not enough to meet the cultivators' cultivation needs.
The reason for this was not entirely because the Sects were stingy, but more because it was intentional.
If the Sects' monthly salary was enough to meet a cultivator's cultivation needs, then there would be no need for cultivators to go out on adventures, and it would be detrimental to their own growth.
Therefore, no matter how prosperous the Sects were, the monthly salary given to their disciples would never meet all their needs. The more powerful the Sects were, the more it was like this, so that their disciples would develop the habit of relying on themselves for everything.
Lu Ye had enough cultivation resources. Even if he did not enter the Cloud River Battlefield, he could still increase his own cultivation by consuming Spirit Pills in his Sect.
However, there was not much meaning in growing like this. Cultivators could only obtain strength that matched their own realm by constantly experiencing all kinds of hardships and battles. In the end, the growth of one's cultivation was just for show.
Less than half a day after Lu Ye entered Mount Tai Mang, he felt the aftermath of several battles. It was obvious that some cultivators were fighting with Monster Beasts.
He observed one of the battles from afar and found that the cultivators had a tacit understanding. Some were on guard, some were fighting head-on, and some were attacking from the shadows. With such cooperation, as long as they chose a suitable opponent, it would not take long for the battle to end and they could obtain some spoils of war.
Along the way, they encountered a few Monster Beasts that were alone. They were not very strong, and with the cooperation of Lu Ye and Hu Po, they easily killed them.
They collected the Monster Beasts' blood, Monster Cores, and some useful items from the Monster Beasts in case of an emergency.
When he was in the Spirit Stream Tier, Lu Ye had also killed some Monster Beasts. However, the items from those Monster Beasts were not very valuable, so he did not waste any effort to collect them.
However, it was different when he reached the Cloud River Tier. Not to mention other things, Cloud River Tier Monster Beasts had Monster Cores, which were Hu Po's favorite.
Previously, when he left the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, he had spent nearly 10,000 merit points to buy a batch of Monster Cores and put them in Hu Po's storage pouch as snacks.
Moreover, the blood of Monster Beasts could be used to cultivate the Dao of Inscriptions.
As for the other miscellaneous materials, some could be used to refine pills, some could be used to refine tools, and so on. It all depended on the person who used them.
The deeper they went, the stronger the Monster Beasts they encountered. On the contrary, the figures of cultivators became fewer and fewer.
If the outermost area of the Great Mang Mountains was a place where any Cloud River Tier cultivator could enter to gain experience, then in Lu Ye's current location, without a Fifth or Sixth Order Cloud River Tier cultivator, it would be difficult to guarantee his safety.
At this point, Lu Ye did not dare to fly in the air unscrupulously. There were many bird-type Monster Beasts in this damned place. If he encountered them in the air, it would be difficult for him to have a good ending.
He really did not understand. Giant Beetle had just lost its way. How did it run into such a deep mountain forest? When he found it later, he would have to teach it a good lesson. In the future, it should not run around in such a dangerous place.
Night fell. Lu Ye was looking for a secluded place to rest when he suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.
There seemed to be some voices coming from that direction. It was the sound of people talking, and there seemed to be quite a number of them.
After a moment of thought, he stuffed Hu Po into his Spirit Beast Pouch and enhanced himself with his Concealment Spirit Tattoo, quietly moving in that direction.
A moment later, an open space appeared in front of him. There were at least thirty or forty cultivators gathered in the open space. Some of them were alone, while others were in groups of three or five. Lu Ye did not know what they were doing here.
However, many of them were meditating and conserving their strength. It seemed that they were about to take action.
With so many people gathered, it was obvious that they were not from the same Sect or even the same camp. Moreover, some of them were obviously injured. (To be continued)
