Chapter 589: Chapter 384 Eastern Region Six Territories_1
The cultivators markets in the Eastern Wilderness generally adopt a form of semi-autonomous governance.
Since the Divine Wood Sect was a breakaway from the Five Elements Sect, all the forces under its jurisdiction in the four countries originally belonged to the Five Elements Sect. However, in order to gain support of the local cultivation families in the four countries, the Divine Wood Sect yielded the management rights of these markets to cultivation families from the start of their separation.
Thus, in the first few decades after the separation, these cultivation families in the four countries, even those who had not contributed to the Divine Wood Sect, at least remained silent.
Those who were restless and harbored ulterior motives were either cleansed or fled.
For instance, the Silver Sky Sect, where Yu Lian used to be, is an example of the expelled ones.
Once the Divine Wood Sect’s Golden Cliff had reconciled with the Five Elements Sect, the cultivation families that had contributed before naturally obtained the management rights of these markets.
Among them, Yuhu Market came under the jurisdiction of the Fu family.
The news that Chen Mobai had arrived at the market quickly reached the Fu family.
An hour later, Fu Xiuzuo, the head of the Fu family, arrived in person.
“Greetings, Town Guard.”
Fu Xiuzuo, a cultured and refined middle-aged man with a neat and dense black beard, appeared quite rustic.
“Chairman Fu, you’re too polite. We should simply call each other as fellow brothers.”
Chen Mobai knew that this man was the nephew of Elder Fu and was formerly a disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.
However, the Fu family had suffered heavy losses in the fight with the Five Elements Sect, all three Foundation Establishment cultivators died in battle, so Elder Fu had Fu Xiuzuo leave the sect and return to the family to recover.
“Brother Chen.”
Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Fu Xiuzuo quickly adjusted his address with a smile.
The two men greeted each other on the street of the market. The shopkeepers on both sides all recognized Fu Xiuzuo, the head of Fu family. They were taken aback to see him hurry over.
Knowing that when the former Town Guard Liu Ruzhong first took office, Fu Xiuzuo didn’t show such respect, and it was Liu Ruzhong who had visited the Fu family to greet him instead.
Who on earth is the new Town Guard of the Divine Wood Sect?
The cultivators in Yuhu Market who had seen this scene showed varying expressions, beginning to inquire about Chen Mobai’s background.
After a while, they got the information from the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
“Unexpected, it’s actually him!”
“The number-one Sword Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, Chen Guixian!”
“I heard that his combat power is second only to the two elders in the Divine Wood Sect. We thought it was an exaggeration, but it seems like he lives up to his fame.”
“Could it be that the Divine Wood Sect is really going to rise? It’s rumored that the former sect leader, Meng Hong, is going for Core Formation. With Chen Guixian, Hong He and other young geniuses of Foundation Establishment, there’s a possibility of them taking over the Five Elements Sect.”
Chen Mobai and Fu Xiuzuo naturally heard these rumors, but they just exchanged smiles. At Fu Xiuzuo’s invitation, they went to the Sky Meal Building in Yuhu Market.
Sky Meal Building is a well-known establishment claiming to cultivate Qi by eating, swallowing all kinds of spiritual delicacies, and refining a pure Qi in one’s body.
However, the headquarters of the Sky Meal Building is not in the Eastern Wilderness but located in the distant Eastern Earth Region.
In recent years, Chen Mobai has come to understand the general situation of the location of the Eastern Wilderness.
Cultivators collectively call this place the Eastern Region.
The Eastern Region is divided into six territories: Eastern Wilderness, Eastern Yi, Eastern Wu, East Yu, Eastern Earth, and East Li.
Among these, the Eastern Wilderness is located in a remote place and is considered “poor” in cultivation resources.
The region adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness is the Eastern Yi Territory.
Actually, the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness had to migrate here because they couldn’t survive in the Eastern Yi Territory.
There are three major sects in the Eastern Yi Territory: Xuan Xiao Taoist Palace, Kong Sang Valley, and Sun Bathing Sea.
All of them are major forces with Nascent Soul Cultivators in charge, their influence radiating throughout the six territories of the Eastern Region, and they are also quite famous in the Eastern Earth Region.
In the past, when the Founder of Hun Yuan was still there, Five Elements Sect had a good relationship with the Sun Bathing Sea and was considered a major force.
Moreover, the Eastern Wu Territory is also adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness, as the boundary between the two is the Yunmeng Great Marsh. Once you cross this Thousands of Water Ponds created by Yuanlijen in the marsh, you reach the realm of Eastern Wu.
The cultivation sects in Eastern Wu Territory are declining, all being dominated by major cultivation families who occupy the veins of spiritual mines. Among them, the most famous is the Huangwu Sun Clan. It has produced Nascent Soul Cultivators and once ruled the cultivation royal family of Eastern Wu.
However, the Nascent Soul patriarch of this Huangwu Sun Clan was about the same age as the Founder of Hun Yuan. He also passed away twenty years ago, so the Eastern Wilderness and Eastern Wu have been ‘unsmiling brothers’ these years. Although they both want to monopolize the abundant resources of Yunmeng Great Marsh, they maintain restraint until they have absolute assurance.
The two regions mutually recognized the seal of the town in the middle of Yunmeng Great Marsh as the boundary, and tacitly refrained from interfering with each other.
If you go beyond the Eastern Yi Territory, you will reach East Yu Territory, which is an endless mountain range that is said to be infinite. The cultivators there regard each mountain as a star falling from the sky. There is a superpower called the Star Heaven Dao Sect that rules over it. It is said that there are several Nascent Soul elders within the sect.
Beyond the East Yu Territory is the center of the entire Eastern Region, the Eastern Earth Land.
Even the two elders of the Divine Wood Sect had never been there. Only Zhou Shengqing had heard the Founder of Hun Yuan talk about it. There are over a hundred sects and families that have produced Nascent Soul Cultivators, and the Sky Meal Building is one of them.
The Eastern Earth Land is the essence of the entire Eastern Region’s cultivation world, and it is said that there are True Divinity Transforming Monarchs in the four holy lands of the Eastern Earth.
