Yang Feilong asked, "If the demonic energy cannot be leaked, what should be done?"
"Just set up a seal," Elder Fang said. "However, this requires someone to be stationed here, firstly to prevent the seal from being sabotaged, and secondly, if the seal loosens, it can be reinforced."
Yang Feilong nodded.
At this moment, he thought of something. It was the bead he had obtained from the deep pool in Guying Village. That bead contained a massive amount of demonic energy.
"Could that bead also be from the demonic realm?" Yang Feilong pondered in his heart.
The bead was currently lying in his storage ring.
Thinking of this, Yang Feilong told Elder Fang that there was something he needed to discuss privately. The latter agreed, and they went into a room. Yang Feilong then took out the bead and said to Elder Fang, "Elder Fang, please take a look at this item for me."
Originally, he had wanted his master to examine it. However, considering that Elder Fang's cultivation might not be inferior to his master's, and that he was also knowledgeable, he decided to ask him for his opinion.
"This is... a Demon Spirit Pearl." Although it was sealed, Elder Fang's cultivation was high, and he recognized the bead at a glance. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"What is a Demon Spirit Pearl?" Yang Feilong was taken aback.
"It's similar to a spirit stone, but more advanced. Perhaps it can be called a high-grade spirit stone!" Elder Fang thought for a moment and said.
"Equivalent to ten billion in wealth?" Yang Feilong blinked.
"You could say that. However, the demonic energy within is quite dense, and we cannot cultivate it," Elder Fang shook his head. "Unless it is purified, and the demonic energy is removed, leaving only the spiritual energy. Therefore, its value is not as great as a high-grade spirit stone. Of course, if it were in the demonic realm, this thing might be much more precious than a high-grade spirit stone."
Yang Feilong understood upon hearing this.
This kind of item was very important to demons, much more precious than high-grade spirit stones, but for humans, it was just so-so.
Knowing what it was and its value, Yang Feilong casually put it away. It was not of much use now, but who knew if it might be useful in the future?
"Elder Fang, doesn't the Constabulary occupy some territory in our Dragon Country's affiliated small worlds?" Yang Feilong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, the Constabulary occupies a considerable amount of territory in the affiliated small worlds," Elder Fang nodded, but even so, his expression was somewhat complex.
"Could it be that the Constabulary's power cannot compare to other factions?" Yang Feilong couldn't help but ask.
"Even if you didn't ask, I was planning to tell you when I had the chance. In fact, the vast majority of the power of our Dragon Country's ancient martial cultivators, no, to be precise, ninety-nine percent of their power, is in the affiliated small worlds!" Elder Fang said to Yang Feilong seriously.
"Ninety-nine percent of the power is in the affiliated small worlds?" Yang Feilong couldn't help but click his tongue upon hearing this.
"Yes! Did you not expect that?" Elder Fang sighed. "In the outside world, a Heaven Martial Realm cultivator under thirty years old can be considered a prodigy. But in the affiliated small worlds, if you haven't reached the Innate Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm by thirty, you can't even be called a prodigy! By the way, you cultivate the Qi Refining path, so you should know that above the ninth level of Qi Refining is the Foundation Establishment Realm! And in the ancient martial path, above the ninth level, the Venerable Martial Realm, is the Innate Realm."
Hearing this, Yang Feilong inexplicably felt his mouth go dry. "So, my talent is very low?"
Before this, he had thought his talent was unmatched. But now he knew that in the affiliated small worlds, not reaching the Innate or Foundation Establishment Realm by thirty meant you weren't even considered a prodigy?
"Of course, you are also very remarkable. After all, Earth is considered the secular world, and the affiliated small worlds, although they have 'affiliated' added, are actually called Spirit Worlds by the people who live there! This is because the spiritual energy is abundant, making cultivation twice as effective. The impurities in the bodies of those who live there are also extremely scarce, so they cultivate quickly. Your cultivation speed in the secular world is already so fast. If you were in the Spirit World, you might reach the Foundation Establishment level before twenty, and then you would be considered an unparalleled prodigy even in the Spirit World!" Elder Fang said with emotion.
Hearing Elder Fang's words, Yang Feilong felt quite helpless. He knew that although his combat power was formidable, his realm was only at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining. He could fight above his level in the secular world. If he were to face someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining in the affiliated small worlds, or the Spirit World, he might not be able to win. He could only hope not to be defeated by someone fighting above their level!
He was referring to fighting purely with true qi, without using his special abilities!
Seeing Yang Feilong fall silent, Elder Fang said, "Don't be discouraged. If you want to enter the Spirit World, I can apply for you. With your contributions, you can go there to cultivate!"
"Qingxue, she told me a while ago that she was planning to go somewhere for secluded cultivation. Could that place be the Spirit World?" Yang Feilong pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, not only her, but several other young people who reached the Heaven Martial Realm at a young age have also cultivated in the Spirit World!" Elder Fang said.
At this moment, Yang Feilong couldn't help but recall something. The time he pretended to be Fang Qingxue's boyfriend to attend her friend's birthday party, someone was whispering that a person who liked Fang Qingxue was very powerful, but he hadn't returned to Longcheng recently, and that person was said to be very strong. Could that person be in the Spirit World?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
"Affiliated small worlds, Spirit Worlds..." Yang Feilong muttered. For some reason, he became very interested in entering the Spirit World. Recently, he felt his cultivation had hit a bottleneck. If he could enter the Spirit World, perhaps he could break through soon?
"No rush to go now." Yang Feilong shook his head and said to Elder Fang, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and I plan to go back to the mountain to talk about this with my master. In the past, my master was unwilling to tell me many things, but now? Will she tell me?"
"That's fine too," Elder Fang nodded. "Let me know when you've decided."
"Okay!"
...
"What are you thinking about?" On the way back to Lan Hai City, seeing Yang Feilong driving while seemingly lost in thought, Lin Yunxi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously.
"I'm thinking about the affiliated small worlds. Elder Fang said that if I wanted to go in, he could apply for me," Yang Feilong said.
"With your talent and contributions, it shouldn't be a problem to enter and cultivate if you apply," Lin Yunxi said. "That Spirit World can indeed be called a sacred place for cultivation!"
"You know the name of the affiliated small world, so how much do you know about affiliated small worlds?" Yang Feilong heard Lin Yunxi say "Spirit World" and immediately understood that Lin Yunxi should know quite a bit.
"I don't know that much, because there is a genius in my Lin family who cultivates in the Spirit World, but he rarely comes back." Lin Yunxi said, "I've only been cultivating faster this year, and my grandfather told me more. Before this, I didn't even know my cousin was cultivating in the Spirit World."
Yang Feilong showed a relieved expression upon hearing this. No wonder Lin Yunxi knew these things.
