Jiang Yifeng’s gaze became deep and solemn, as if he had fallen into endless contemplation.
He pondered silently, “How did she know the questions I wanted to ask?”
Time ticked by, and Jiang Yifeng remained silent, lost in thought.
Various possibilities swirled in his mind.
Gradually, a thought flashed through his mind.
In this place, there had always been someone deliberately hunting down local cultivators. Even those seeking the Immortal Dao couldn’t escape their fate.
To survive and continue cultivating in such a harsh environment, one must have faced such pursuits. Even if not directly hunted, they would surely be aware of the ongoing persecution of local cultivators.
Otherwise, surviving here would be nothing but a fool’s dream.
With this realization, Jiang Yifeng finally understood.
The questions he wanted to ask were precisely the ones every cultivator in this land desperately sought answers to.
No wonder Bai Ruoxue could read his mind so easily.
Jiang Yifeng couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart, “It truly confirms the old saying, ‘Ginger gets spicier with age!'”
Bai Ruoxue, worthy of being a great cultivator, had seen through everything long ago.
At the same time, Jiang Yifeng understood her intentions.
Bai Ruoxue likely harbored resentment towards those who hunted local cultivators.
Moreover, once he knew the truth, he would undoubtedly seek a path to redemption, inevitably clashing with those people.
However, none of this mattered. Even without knowing the reasons, he couldn’t escape their pursuit.
Previous simulations had made Jiang Yifeng deeply aware: whether it was personal misfortune or family upheaval, it all stemmed from the prohibition of cultivation in this place.
Only by understanding the root cause could he better use the simulator to solve the problems.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yifeng decisively spoke.
“Senior Bai, may I ask why cultivation is forbidden here? And why are cultivators hunted once they start cultivating? More importantly, how can one escape this sealed land?”
Bai Ruoxue wasn’t surprised by Jiang Yifeng’s questions.
She slowly began to speak.
“This place was originally called the Southern Regions, one of the four major regions of the Nine Mystic Realm.”
“For some unknown reason, it angered the beings from the heavens, turning this place into a land of divine punishment. Every few decades, Heavenly Thunder descends to annihilate cultivators.”
“My senior brother’s sect was actually wiped out by Heavenly Thunder, so you understand why I could see through that you’re not a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Temple, right?”
Saying this, Bai Ruoxue smiled at Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng nodded in understanding.
No wonder she saw through it. He had wondered why those who destroyed the Heavenly Profound Temple didn’t trouble Bai Ruoxue or let her seek revenge.
But there was no enemy; it was caused by Heavenly Thunder.
Or rather, the enemies weren’t from this realm but were celestial beings from above.
How could one seek revenge against them?
Of course, that wasn’t important. From Bai Ruoxue’s words, Jiang Yifeng had already gleaned a lot of useful information.
That was, above this world, there was another world, a world above the nine heavens.
Those Bai Ruoxue referred to as heavenly beings might be those who had ascended to immortality.
As Jiang Yifeng pondered, Bai Ruoxue continued speaking.
“After this place became a land of divine punishment, it naturally became uninhabitable, and everyone wanted to leave.”
“But people discovered that the entire perimeter of the Southern Regions was inscribed with a massive formation, making it impossible to leave, turning it into a cage.”
“Over time, it gradually became known as the sealed land.”
“However, the world is never short of geniuses. After millions of years, a brilliant individual emerged, who withstood the Heavenly Thunder and forcibly broke through the formation, escaping.”
“This massive formation developed cracks, and subsequently, many experts managed to escape through it.”
“But the good times didn’t last long. Shortly after, powerful fierce beasts appeared at the cracks of the formation, guarding the four directions!”
“At the same time, a large organization called the Immortal Arrival Sect emerged, permanently stationed in this sealed land!”
“They are not affected by the Heavenly Thunder here and can freely enter and exit the sealed land. They specifically hunt down those who cultivate and seek immortality here.”
“In the outside world, these people are also known as Immortal Slaves!”
At this point, Bai Ruoxue stopped and looked at Jiang Yifeng, saying.
“Now you know who is hunting the cultivators in the sealed land? Are you afraid? Do you dare to resist?”
Jiang Yifeng was still digesting Bai Ruoxue’s previous words when he was suddenly asked this question.
He felt a bit nervous.
Resist? Dare to resist?
From her words, the Immortal Slaves of the Immortal Arrival Sect were just a bunch of lackeys. The real threat to the Southern Regions’ cultivators was the celestial beings from above!
But thinking of his simulator, Jiang Yifeng felt no fear.
Quickly, he looked up at the sky and laughed heartily.
“Why wouldn’t I dare!”
Seeing Jiang Yifeng look up at the sky, Bai Ruoxue covered her face and laughed.
“Such ambition, but did you misunderstand? I was asking if you dare to resist those Immortal Slaves of the Immortal Arrival Sect.”
Jiang Yifeng couldn’t explain, so he asked back.
“Since the Immortal Arrival Sect is hunting cultivators, how can you be sure your senior brother died from Heavenly Thunder and not by their hands?”
Bai Ruoxue’s face showed a hint of disdain.
“That group? They aren’t qualified to kill my senior brother!”
Hearing Bai Ruoxue’s words, Jiang Yifeng felt reassured. It seemed those from the Immortal Arrival Sect weren’t the strongest.
The real challenge was the Heavenly Thunder.
Bai Ruoxue seemed to understand his thoughts and continued.
“The people from the Immortal Arrival Sect are not to be feared. The most dangerous thing in the Southern Regions is indeed the Heavenly Thunder, followed by the fierce beasts guarding the four directions!”
Her words reminded him of the giant dragon he saw in a previous simulation. Could it be one of the fierce beasts?
As for the Heavenly Thunder, Jiang Yifeng had yet to experience it.
Without further speculation, Jiang Yifeng shifted the topic and asked Bai Ruoxue again.
“Senior Bai, since this is a sealed land with fierce beasts guarding it, how did you get in? And how can one get out? Can I sneak out?”
Hearing this, Bai Ruoxue chuckled, seemingly amused by Jiang Yifeng, and teased.
“Oh, you were so full of ambition just now, shouting ‘Why wouldn’t I dare,’ and now you want to sneak out?”
Jiang Yifeng felt a bit embarrassed, but it was hard to explain.
Could he say he wanted to sneak out in a future simulation to cultivate and then come back to overturn everything?
Seeing Jiang Yifeng remain silent, Bai Ruoxue seemed to lose interest and directly said.
“To leave, there are four places: the Desert of Death, the Endless Sea, the Valley of Flames, and the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords. But each place is guarded by fierce beasts.”
“I came in through the Endless Sea. That fierce beast is greedy, and I bribed it with a vast amount of resources. But I can only stay here for a few days; I can’t take anyone out!”
“If you want to leave, other than breaking through by force, I can’t think of another way.”
After Bai Ruoxue finished speaking, the atmosphere turned cold.
Jiang Yifeng didn’t expect the final outcome to be like this.
Although Bai Ruoxue had said a lot, giving him much information.
But thinking carefully, it seemed none of it was useful to him.
In the end, it still depended on strength to break through.
Seeing Jiang Yifeng’s disappointed look, Bai Ruoxue patted his shoulder and said.
“Keep it up. I hope you can bring some excitement to those Immortal Slaves!”
After saying that, she left a storage ring for Jiang Yifeng and then walked aside, staring at the ruins in a daze.
