526: Map of the North, divided into three regions

Chunqiu Peak.

In front of a wooden house.

Xie Weilou opened the storage ring given by Fourth Mr.

The items inside were numerous, piled up like mountains, with all sorts of strange and rare objects, not just a little, but a massive amount!

"Cultivation Records..."

Xie Weilou quickly found an ancient book. He took it out and began to read it quickly.

After one incense stick's time.

He had finished half of the content.

The Cultivation Records meticulously detailed the lifespan corresponding to each cultivator realm.

According to the Cultivation Records, a mortal's life is a mere hundred years. A cultivator's lifespan can be longer, but embarking on the path of cultivation does not automatically grant a longer lifespan.

Cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm and Shackles Realm have lifespans similar to ordinary people, only a short hundred years.

Tuojiang Realm cultivators can live up to one hundred and fifty years; Dao Repository Realm cultivators can reach two hundred years.

After entering the Profound Manifestation Realm, lifespan doubles, reaching four hundred years; Dragon Transformation Realm offers six hundred years, and Divine Court Realm, eight hundred years.

"Eight hundred years in the Divine Court Realm is quite a lot."

Xie Weilou closed the Cultivation Records, not continuing to read. For him, seeing up to the Divine Court Realm was sufficient.

Ten years can witness the coming and going of spring and autumn; a hundred years can prove the birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortals; a thousand years can lament the rise and fall of dynasties; ten thousand years can see the shifting of stars.

Eight hundred years is enough to witness many things; it is actually very long.

As long as he doesn't enter decades or centuries of secluded cultivation, he can see many beautiful sights.

He was still young now, so there was no need to consider these matters; he just needed to cultivate diligently forward.

Putting away the Cultivation Records, Xie Weilou again surveyed the items inside the storage ring.

Among them, three items caught his attention: a formation disk, a bronze flying boat, and a rusty bronze token.

"This is..."

Xie Weilou took out the bronze token. It felt heavy in his hand, and the rust on it was somewhat prickly.

He examined it, found nothing unusual, and casually threw it back into the storage ring.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou left Chunqiu Peak and headed straight for the Merit Hall.

"Elder Xie!"

When Elder Feng saw Xie Weilou, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly cupped his fists in greeting.

Time truly flew; in the blink of an eye, Xie Weilou had transformed from one of The Holy Courtyard's Disciples into an Elder of the Holy Courtyard, which was truly emotion.

Xie Weilou smiled and cupped his fists, saying, "Elder Feng, are there any alchemy tasks?"

Elder Feng took out a jade slip and two storage bags: "The pills to be refined and the medicinal ingredients are all in here, and the remuneration is also included. I've given it to you in advance."

Since Xie Weilou finished refining pills last time, many Elders and Disciples of the Holy Courtyard had heard the news and came to the Merit Hall to post alchemy tasks.

Currently, the Merit Hall had accumulated two or three hundred alchemy tasks, all for refining fifth and sixth-grade pills.

Xie Weilou put away the jade slip and storage bags. He said to Elder Feng, "After I finish refining this batch of pills, I will no longer accept tasks."

Elder Feng seemed to have expected this, nodding with a smile, "Understood! Just go all out and walk your own path."

"Mm!"

Xie Weilou bowed and then departed.

On his way back to Thunder Peak, he happened to pass by Star Lake, where Zhou Xuantian was sitting by the lake, fishing.

"Kid, want to chat?"

Zhou Xuantian looked at Xie Weilou.

"Alright!"

Xie Weilou was not polite and sat down directly beside him. He glanced at the fish basket; there were six Starry Fish inside.

Zhou Xuantian pointed at Star Lake and said, "Kid, do you know where this Star Lake comes from?"

Xie Weilou looked at Zhou Xuantian: "Where does it come from?"

Zhou Xuantian smiled and said, "Barren Desert!"

"......"

Xie Weilou's gaze fell upon Star Lake.

A nostalgic look appeared in Zhou Xuantian's eyes: "Back then, I was full of youthful vigor and went to the Northern Lands, entering the Barren Desert. As a result, I almost didn't make it... Since then, I've been completely honest."

Xie Weilou asked curiously, "Does Dean know how big the Barren Desert is?"

The Barren Desert was a place he had to go because the Nine-Yang Star Flame was inside.

Zhou Xuantian sighed, "I don't know! The Barren Desert is too vast and too dangerous. I've only set foot in a small corner of it, and I almost lost my life."

As he spoke, he took out a map from his Pregnant and handed it to Xie Weilou: "This is a map of the Northern Lands, and a small part of the Barren Desert map. I hope it's useful to you."

"......"

Xie Weilou took the map and looked at it carefully.

The Northern Lands were divided into three regions.

They were the Demon Kingdom, Demon Province, and Blood Domain.

And beyond these three regions was the even more vast and immense Barren Desert.

The Barren Desert was an unknown area, only simply outlined on the map.

"Blood Domain..."

Xie Weilou gazed at the Blood Domain on the map.

Zhou Xuantian smiled faintly: "The Blood Domain is a chaotic place, gathering humans, demons, and devils. The only rule there is strength. The Nine Heavens Tower is located within the Blood Domain."

"That's interesting!"

A smile appeared on Xie Weilou's face.

He also had to make a trip to this Blood Domain. At that time, he would go and see what kind of extraordinary abilities the Tower Master of the Nine Heavens Tower possessed.

Why did the Nine Heavens Tower attack the Zhenxi Marquis Manor?

This was a mystery, and he would have to find the answer himself when he went north!

Xie Weilou casually took the fish basket next to him and said to Zhou Xuantian, "Dean, thank you for the map. I still have things to do, so I'll head back to Thunder Peak first."

"Go on!"

Zhou Xuantian saw Xie Weilou take the fish basket and couldn't help but chuckle, not saying anything more.

Xie Weilou walked a few steps, then stopped. He looked at Zhou Xuantian and asked, "Dean, I'll be leaving the Holy Courtyard in a while. Before that, is there anything the Holy Courtyard needs me to do?"

After entering the Holy Courtyard, the Dean and the various Misters had given him much care. This place could be considered an important part of his life, and he had developed some feelings for it.

He had gained many things here, and if the Holy Courtyard had any needs, he naturally would not refuse.

Zhou Xuantian said with a serious expression, "The Holy Courtyard doesn't need you to do anything. We only hope that you can go further and further, and I also believe that you will definitely go further than us. Your future is even more anticipated!"

Xie Weilou was silent for a second: "What about the Demon Race and the Devil Race? Do you want me to eradicate all of them?"

If he went north, he would definitely take action against the Demon Race and the Devil Race.

Previously, when Xia Emperor went north, he severely injured the Demon Race and the Devil Race. So much time had passed, presumably, these two races had already recovered their vitality.

Zhou Xuantian chuckled, "Solving a group of powerful characters is enough; there's no need to completely eliminate them. There's a Confucian saying: 'Born of sorrow and hardship, die in peace and pleasure.' If Great Xia had no enemies, it wouldn't go far. Moreover, Great Xia's young people also need experience!"

After listening, Xie Weilou bowed to Zhou Xuantian: "Understood!"

With that, he quickly departed.

Zhou Xuantian looked at Xie Weilou's retreating figure, gently stroking his beard, and chuckled, "Perhaps one day in the future, the Holy Courtyard will be proud of you! Keep walking well."
