Chapter 1276 – Beast Tide
Han Li left the alleyway and immediately continued to wander on in the neighborhood.
As a result, not long after, he discovered his true purpose for leaving the crowd of the Heavenly East Merchant Company on another street, a bookstore specializing in the sale of all sorts of canonical books.
He walked in without moving.
The bookstore wasn’t small, and there was a very large variety of books inside, astronomy, geography, and a hundred different kinds of miscellaneous studies, it was quite rich.
Because it was just an ordinary mortal bookstore, naturally, he didn’t want to have any jade slips and books on cultivation and the like.
Han Li wouldn’t be interested in useless books, and his gaze fell all over the tomes about introducing the environment and customs and society of the spirit world.
Only through these things could he gain a preliminary understanding of the Spirit World and stop being ignorant of everything.
He didn’t have the courtesy to pick out several thick books in a row, and finally bought away a map from the bookstore about the nearby area.
Han Li hadn’t brought any yellow or white items with him, but spirit stones were equally rare for ordinary mortals, and after immediately paying a low-priced spirit stone, the bookstore owner was overjoyed and separately retrieved some silver taels for him.
He single-handedly held these books, found a restaurant, sat down in an unobtrusive corner, casually ordered a few ordinary dishes, and quietly flipped through the books.
Although Han Li’s mind can’t leave the body, but the ability to forget is naturally still there, although several books are all unusually thick, but in Han Li’s unhurried flipping, the speed is amazingly fast, and every word is firmly and unusually printed in the mind.
Han Li’s face has been rippling without surprise, but the heart has long been with the content of the book to understand, tumbling non-stop up.
Other than that, just about the detailed description of the environment and geography of the spirit world, let Han Li heart appalled.
It turns out that on the road, he often heard the Tian Dong Shang people mention the Tian Yuan realm, but it is actually the human region ruled by the Tian Yuan Sacred Emperor of the three emperors of the human race.
In addition to that, there was also the Xuanwu Mirror controlled by the Xuanwu Hegemony Emperor, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm controlled by the Heavenly Myriad Spirit Emperor in addition to the human entrenched places. These two emperors were usually referred to as the “Hegemony Emperor” and “Spirit Emperor”. On the other hand, the Heavenly Yuan Sacred Emperor, who was originally a human alchemist but later switched to practicing Confucianism, was called the Confucian Emperor. The Tianyuan Realm he ruled was also the human realm whose customs were closest to Han Li’s.
This was also considered good luck for him.
These three human realms are all vast and immense, with thousands, if not hundreds, of large and small human cities set up within them.
According to the book on the division of the city, An Yuan City, such as the city can be inhabited by nearly 100 million people at once, in the spirit world is indeed considered a small city. Other large and medium sized cities, both in terms of area and population, far exceeded the size of An Yuan City. The Tianyuan City where the Tianyuan Saint Emperor resided was so large that it was even comparable to a small country in the Human Realm.
However, compared to the rest of the human main cities in the Second Realm, Tian Yuan City was still considered the most normal existence.
Because the Emperor’s Xuanwu City was built on the back of an ancient turtle called “4 Spirits”, it was a huge city that could slowly move on the sea. And the spirit of the emperor of the sky spirit city is even more surprising, directly built in a diameter of 100 miles, it is said to be able to straight to the immortal world on the Prime Spirit Tree.
Han Li saw here, the heart’s horror can naturally be imagined.
What surprised him even more was yet to come.
According to these texts, in addition to the Three Emperors’ Boundary where humans resided, there was also the Land of the Seven Demons ruled by the Seven Great Demon Kings in the vicinity, and the relationship between the Demon Race and the Human Race was surprisingly a half-enemy, half-friend relationship.
The reason why I say this is because even the area occupied by the Three Realms and the Seven Demon Lands together is just a drop in the ocean in the Spirit World.
Outside of the area ruled by the two races, it was the world of other foreign beings.
Most of these beings are the original inhabitants of the spirit world, such as the uncountable number of the spirit world of all kinds of barbaric beasts, ancient giants and other races, but also and the human race in general, forcibly broke the boundary to this world of other groups of foreigners, these races, although the contact of the not much, but a few are known to be not inferior to the human race and the demon race of the powerful races, have their own unique magical powers, powerful place is not less than the human and the demon race of the two races.
In addition to this, in the spirit world there are many almost and true immortal world immortals generally powerful individuals, such as like Han Li known Luo T, Kunpeng, true dragons and other terrible existence can be ignored to a certain extent the power of the interface.
Under so many dangers, although the human and demon tribes have a lot of people with great aptitude, but in the spirit world can only manage to get a foothold. Although usually a great hostility, occasionally also small fight, but in the face of a powerful enemy, the two tribes and had to join forces to fight the enemy.
This scenario has been until the Three Emperors Realm and the Seven Demon Lands were formally established, and only then was it finally much better.
Because the first generation of the three emperors and the seven demon kings, as well as many great magical powers in the human and demon races in those years, joined hands to set up an oversized spell formation, which enveloped the three realms and the seven lands in it.
It is said that this array is mysterious, an ancient immortal array passed down from the true immortal world, specializing in targeting those overly powerful alien spirits, the stronger the individual, the more they will be blocked by this prohibition, unable to invade into the area sheltered by the array. On the contrary, those strength equivalent to the middle and low level demonic beasts of alien existence, not subject to this restriction.
This oversized formation had a total of ten formation eyes, which were located in the three realms of humans and the seven lands of the demon race.
The eye of the formation in the land of demonic beasts is not mentioned in the book, but the eye of the formation in the realm of the three emperors is the Tianyuan Holy Mountain where Tianyuan City is located, the “4 Spirits” ancient tortoise in the Xuanwu realm, and the Prime Spirit Tree where Tianling City is located. Unless the holy mountain, the ancient tortoise and the spirit tree can be destroyed, otherwise the human control of the forbidden system will be safe and sound.
If the formations in the human territory were so incredible, I believe that the other formations in the seven lands of the Demon Race would never be as simple as that.
Those powerful beings who really want to invade the area where the human race and the demon race are entrenched, unless they can fight against the power of the ten major formations at the same time, otherwise it would be a delusion.
With this super immortal formation, the human race and the demon race can prosper in the large spirit world, and eventually occupy a place.
As for the entire spirit world in the end how big, from the human race began to appear in the spirit world, has never been explored clearly, can only use boundless, never end to describe the spirit world of the wide.
While seeing this, Han Li had a trace of doubt in his heart. Since the area controlled by the human race occupies such a small area in the spirit world, how to ensure that the cultivators ascending from the lower world can accurately fall in the area controlled by the two races, in case they are outside the oversized immortal formation, is it not dangerous.
This doubt in Han Li’s mind, these books did not mention to, also had to temporarily put it aside in the back of his mind.
Through some of the descriptions in the book, Han Li also found that the overall strength of the demon race in the spirit world is slightly better than the human race. However, the high-level cultivators of the human race seemed to be slightly stronger than the demon race by one point.
In this way, the two races had formed a strange balance, which had led to the matter of the first three emperors and the seven demon kings sitting down and jointly entering into a series of agreements to safeguard the interests of the two races.
Which includes the human race within the high level immortal cultivators shall not arbitrarily purge those who live in remote places of low and medium level demonic beasts, also shall not participate in the fight against all sizes of cities regularly outbreaks of the beast tide, as well as the demon race area shall not wantonly capturing and abusing the human race, must be specifically for the human race can be set up to live in the gathering area, and be protected and so on.
The reason for such an agreement is naturally because when the two races divided the three realms and the seven demon lands, the areas inhabited by the human and demon races were greatly confused. Although the human race and demon beasts have been selected as much as possible to divide the densest area, but the two races in the area naturally still have a large number of each other’s races exist.
For those high-level human cultivators and demon cultivators, this is naturally not a problem, can easily move away.
But for those who have not yet opened the spirit of the ordinary demonic beasts, as well as the human race in the ordinary people, but simply can not easily roll over such a long distance, can only honestly stay in the original place to continue to live, and accept the rule of other races.
At the beginning, naturally appeared to wantonly kill each other’s race of bloody things, human and demon two races for this also had a war several, finally after many twists and turns, only signed the current agreement.
Of course these canonical books in Han Li’s hands only mentioned the most important kinds of agreements, saying not too clearly. But regarding the matter of the Beast Tide, he deliberately picked a relevant book and understood it quite clearly.
The so-called “Beast Tide” is only some ordinary beasts because of the over reproduction ability, coupled with the three emperors and demon king agreement of the shelter, the human race high level aptitude person can’t wantonly purge, but every once in a while because of the regional territory problem and kill each other to fight, in order to maintain their own survival.
However, if a human city existed near these regions, the low-rank demonic beasts born from these beasts would coincidentally guide their uncivilized counterparts to launch a semi-suicidal attack towards the human city.
In this way, apart from some particularly huge cities, most human cities would periodically suffer from beast tides. The more remote the small and medium-sized cities were, the more frequently they would encounter beast tides.
Although there weren’t many cities that had actually been overrun by the beasts over the years, every time a beast tide broke out, the low-ranked existences of the human race would definitely suffer huge casualties.
However, because of this, those low ranked body refiners and Immortal Cultivators who suddenly raised their bottles between life and death appeared time and time again. Compared to the casualties of ordinary people, the bottleneck breakthroughs of these people were naturally worth more, and instead, they were more able to increase the strength of the entire human race in the Spirit Realm.
With such a situation of woe and blessing, the high-ranking existences of the Human Race in the Three Emperors Realm acquiesced to the continuation of the matter of the Beast Tide, and did not have the intention of altering the agreement with the Demon Race any further.
Each city’s beast tide outbreak time is not certain, but one of the most frequent and common is just two kinds of beast tide, is generally living in the grassland wolf tide and all kinds of areas can survive snake tide.
Both types of beasts are known for their strong reproduction ability, and almost every hundred years or so, they will definitely set off a beast tide.
If any city happened to come across two or more beasts in a beast tide that broke out at the same time, it would naturally become a great beast tide, and the danger could be imagined. In the past, the few times that a human city had been overrun by beasts, almost all of them had been caused by a large beast tide.
Therefore, if that city is once the detection of their own nearby to break out a large beast tide, the city’s top management natural fear, desperately summoned nearby body refiners and low-ranking cultivators, and immediately contracted defenses, ready to fight to the death.
When Han Li saw this, he sighed lightly and finally slowly closed the last book as well.
There was no doubt that the city at hand was about to experience a beast tide, and with this city being so close to the grasslands, it was probably still the most famous Wolf Beast Tide. But looking at this city so tense, don’t really let him run into any big beast tide.
He silently held a cup of water wine in front of him and drank it down, his eyes narrowed as he secretly thought about it.
