This is a lot of information, it needs to be unraveled slowly.
Regarding the Yunxiang Race's side, the demon's behavior is indeed strange, yet reasonable.
Since it left a spiritual curse passed down through the bloodline, if demons do not have a concept of lifespan, or their lifespan is extremely long, then at least it had contact with the ancestors of the Yunxiang Race in ancient times.
If the Yunxiang Race didn't need to exist, they could have been exterminated in ancient times, why leave them behind?
One can only speculate, perhaps the demon just wanted to make them fall into dust, to satisfy its malicious delight. After all, before Bahamut appeared, that guy always acted with ease and a playful attitude.
A more serious speculation is that it has a reason why it cannot eliminate the Yunxiang Race, or it pursues something that cannot be achieved by killing them all, only by suppressing them to prevent their rise.
Li Ang voiced these thoughts, and the girl in the room also had no other ideas, so they tentatively agreed.
But then Farina suddenly said something that uplifted Andasu's spirits.
"Actually, I saw this giant wolf statue while investigating the Bailong Sect."
"Where?" The White Wolf asked hurriedly.
Li Ang was also curious, the other girls also pricked up their ears, even Elaphia raised her eyebrows, showing interest in listening.
"Whispering Sand Sea." The Dragon Witch uttered a term.
"Is it there?" Li Ang pondered.
"Reasonable, not too surprising." Elaphia said.
"What's with that place?"
The four novice adventurers of the Star Flower Travel Corps were completely unfamiliar with this place.
Li Ang explained that Whispering Sand Sea is the largest island in the Salem Sky Realm.
Although Flashing Field and the Wotam Church Country are considered large islands, the explored part of Whispering Sand Sea is dozens of times their size, earning it the title of the largest island in the Salem Sky Realm, or more appropriately called an "isle continent".
This kind of information is generally covered in geography courses, but Whispering Sand Sea is an exception.
Incidentally, the word 'geography' comes from ancient language, with some scholars arguing it should be called something else like 'island chronicle' or 'sky laws'.
What is at the end of the sky? Children of Nebis often ask this question when they begin to understand the world.
Many parents answer that "the end of the sky is also an aerial realm wind wall", a response that many teachers use for convenience.
This answer is both correct and not entirely so.
The more precise explanation is—more tumultuous aerial realm wind walls separate the currently unexplored unknown aerial realms.
The so-called division of the 'Flower', 'Fire', 'Ice', 'Sand' Four Major Aerial Realms is that the wind walls between these four regions do not change, and stable routes capable of lateral passage exist.
However, among the northern Gorasis Sky Realm, eastern Flos Sky Realm, southern Ignis Sky Realm, and western Demon Disaster Realm, it is not just wind walls separating aerial realms, according to geographical scholars' calculations, there is an unknown region approximately the size of one-tenth of each aerial realm.
Such zones, extending away from the center in the directions of each of the Four Major Aerial Realms, can be reached.
The wind walls there are extremely turbulent, left as a desperate boundary by the Wind Spirits in the Material World, and any ordinary Flying Airship approaching would be swept away to who knows where.
The Whispering Sand Sea clings closely to the Salem Sky Realm, with even a part of it on the other side of the Desperate Wind Wall.
"The Tier Nine Magical Disaster that Elaphia led the corps to resolve earlier, its source was the Whispering Sand Sea." Farina said.
