Chapter 673: Chapter 693: Living Up to the Inner Yearning _1

"What about the Secret Realm?"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the relationship between the Secret Realm, Cave Sky Blessed Land, and the Wildlands?"

Knowing that Lin Chen was new and didn’t know anything about the Cultivation World, Su Mubai did not show any impatience and answered with a smile, "The Secret Realm is a part of the Wildlands."

Lin Chen blinked, his expression somewhat puzzled, "A part?"

Su Mubai laughed and began his analogy, "Imagine a highway in the mountains. This highway can connect to a modern city at the foot of the mountain and at the end of the highway, there is a manor where many people live. Behind this manor is a dense primeval forest filled with wolves, tigers, wild beasts, as well as various minerals, food, and medicines."

"The forest is very dangerous, but the people in the manor need various resources. So, they find a way to use the narrow terrain and create a barrier within the primeval forest to divide it into two parts."

"After the forest is divided, the people in the manor start hunting down the ferocious beasts in the isolated area. Over time, there are no more ferocious beasts that pose an irresistible threat, and this area becomes a resource production base for the manor."

The analogy made by Su Mubai was vivid, and Lin Chen immediately understood after listening.

The highway is the World Channel, the modern city at the base of the mountain is the Human World, the manor at the end of the highway is the Cave Sky Blessed Land, the isolated area behind it is the Secret Realm, and the primeval forest beyond that is the Cultivation World, also known as the Wildlands that Su Mubai had mentioned.

"So entering the Secret Realm, passing through a specific partition point within it, allows one to enter the true Wildlands, is that right?"

"Yes."

Su Mubai nodded, "The Demonic Beasts in the Secret Realm are mostly formed through generations of Spiritual Rhinoceros Storms. The truly ferocious beasts have been killed long ago, and the Secret Realm is not considered very dangerous. The Cave Sky Blessed Land is simply a trial ground left behind for young Cultivators."

Lin Chen nodded, "So what is the Wildlands like?"

Su Mubai laughed, "The Wildlands are rich in spiritual energy, and Demonic Beasts roam freely. Humans do not have an advantage on this land. In order to withstand the beast attacks, the people of the Wildlands live together in cities, and each city is guarded by Cultivators of different levels. The larger the city, the more powerful and numerous the stationed Cultivators tend to be."

"Some of these Cultivators belong to the Cave Sky Blessed Land. They send people to guard the city as a means of expanding their territory, and the more land and subjects they possess, the more resources they can allocate for cultivation."

"In addition to the Cultivators from the Cave Sky Blessed Land, there are also many local sects in the Wildlands. After all, there are countless cultivation sects in the Wildlands and a limited number of World Channels, so not every sect can have one. Therefore, many sects without enough strength to occupy a World Channel have to struggle in the Wildlands."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Can I understand that the sects of the Cave Sky Blessed Land are the most powerful ones in the Wildlands?"

Su Mubai replied, "You can basically understand it that way, but there are some exceptions. Some sects believe that Cultivators should go against the heavens and that hiding in a World Channel is cowardly and detrimental to cultivation. They disdain to hide and such sects tend to be equally strong."

Having listened to this, Lin Chen now had a clearer understanding of the Wildlands.

He never expected that the Cave Sky Blessed Lands, which were still legendary in the Human World, would turn out to be mere shelters chosen by Wildlands sects. Fortunately, the sects in these Cave Sky Blessed Lands were indeed very powerful, representing the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, living up to his expectations. Otherwise, he would be very disappointed at this moment.

Although Lin Chen was eager to explore the Wildlands, he wasn’t rash.

Without enough strength, venturing into the Wildlands on his own would be a death sentence.

His current priority was to consume medicine to improve his cultivation, strengthen his realm, practice the Three-foot Sword Curtain, cultivate the Sword Bone, plant Ling Medicine, and wait for Mei Nu’s strength to recover...

On second thought, he felt quite busy at the moment.

Now, there was only one thing on Lin Chen’s mind, "Since the Cave Sky Blessed Land is connected to the Wildlands, does that mean you can reach any Cave Sky Blessed Land by entering the Wildlands?"

Su Mubai nodded, "Of course, although the Cave Sky Blessed Lands are World Channels, they were originally a part of the Wildlands, so naturally, they can be reached. However, the distances between the Cave Sky Blessed Lands are vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles. Even when traveling by airship, it is normal for a trip to a distant sect to take three to five months. Along the way, one often has to pass through many wilderness areas, where they are prone to Demonic Beast attacks and accidents."

Lin Chen didn’t care, and he smiled with excitement in his eyes, "As long as I can reach it, that’s good enough!"

Su Mubai spoke softly, "Are you planning to go to Kunlun Mountain to look for your parents?"
