Fairy Jia Luo gently tapped on the "Thirteen Southern Nations of the Barbaric Wilderness" section in the glowing character index.

Whoosh!

A vast painting appeared directly in the void.

In this vast painting, there were undulating mountain ranges and surging rivers, documenting the situations of thirteen nations.

Ye Chen saw that the Heavenly Wind Kingdom was among these thirteen nations, located in an eastern position.

Fairy Jia Luo, looking at the vast painting in the void, slowly said, "Our Heavenly Wind Kingdom, in the entire south of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, together with the other twelve nations, are collectively known as the 'Thirteen Southern Nations.'

"The strength of the nations on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent is divided by the realms of the strong, particularly by the strength of the strongest in the major powers.

Take sects for example, an eighth-grade sect refers to a sect whose strongest member is in the Spiritual Sea Realm; a seventh-grade sect has its strongest member at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm; our Taixuan Sect is a sixth-grade sect, with the strongest at the middle stage of the Rotating Pill Realm; while a fifth-grade sect's strongest member will be at the late stage of the Rotating Pill Realm."

"As for fourth-grade sects, they have overwhelmingly powerful early stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts; third-grade sects have mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts; second-grade sects, they are absolutely the most powerful forces in the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, with their strongest individuals being at the late stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, the strongest realm across the entire continent!"

"As for the rumored first-grade sects, there are none in the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, existing only in the supreme spirit realm known as the 'Minor Spirit Realm' in legends!"

The classification of the major powers, the differences between the eighth, seventh, and sixth-grade sects, so that's how they are divided!

The words of Fairy Jia Luo enlightened Ye Chen a great deal.

"Ye Chen, the higher you go, the greater the gap in strength brought about by the difference in realms becomes, and while it's a miracle that you, in the True Qi Realm, can challenge those in the Spiritual Sea Realm, once you enter the Rotating Pill Realm after the Spiritual Sea Realm, you will realize that the gap between different levels of the Rotating Pill Realm is countless times greater than that between the True Qi Realm and the Spiritual Sea Realm!

This is also why the Spiritual Sea Realm does not subdivide powers, while the three major stages of the Rotating Pill Realm are divided into three different grades of power."

"As for the Heavenly Saint Realm, the gap in strength between its three major stages is even wider; so much so that countless geniuses with extraordinary talent can spend an entire lifetime without being able to step from the early to mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, let alone reaching the supremely powerful late stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm."

"Having one person with the highest strength within a sect means having a large number of people a step lower in strength.

In our Taixuan Sect, I am at the middle stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, while the other peak masters and elders of the Sect are at the initial stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, so as a sixth-grade sect, we are many times stronger than those seventh-grade sects whose strongest members are at the initial stage of the Rotating Pill Realm!"

"And those fifth-grade sects and fourth-grade sects, their strength is even stronger than our Taixuan Sect!"

"Ye Chen, next I will tell you about the various power divisions across the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Yao'er, you should also listen carefully. When you both venture out of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom and explore the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, all this information will be very important!"

Fairy Jia Luo said to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged glances and both nodded, listening intently to Fairy Jia Luo's explanation.

"Among the Thirteen Southern Nations, the Heavenly Wind Kingdom's strength is in a middle position, with a total of ten sixth-grade sects and three fifth-grade sects. There are three nations stronger than us, and these three nations all have fourth-grade sects!"

Fourth-grade sects, which are guarded by early stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts!

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao were immediately shocked; they had not expected that among the other twelve nations not far from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, there would be Heavenly Saint Realm experts!

The Heavenly Saint Realm could be said to be the top-tier existence in the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent. The two secret realms Ye Chen had previously entered, the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode and the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, were both related to Heavenly Saint Realm experts.

Just from the marvels of these two secret realms, Ye Chen understood the power of the Heavenly Saint Realm experts, whether it was Heavenly Saint Qian Ji, Heavenly Saint Lian Yue, or Heavenly Saint Di Kong who left behind the Ancestral Land Secret Realm; all filled Ye Chen with boundless admiration.

Ye Chen had never truly seen a Heavenly Saint Realm expert in person before!

"These three nations with Heavenly Saint Realm experts are, respectively, our neighboring Heaven Departure Nation and the two great nations at the far west, the Heavenly Origin Country and the Sky Desert Country."

"In the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, martial arts are revered, and the battles and bloodshed between various powers are incredibly brutal! Especially when fighting for treasure lands, cultivation resources, newly discovered secret realms, the entire continent's landscape is constantly changing!"

"The fact that our Thirteen Southern Nations can survive in the Southern Territory, and that you can cultivate peacefully within the sect, depends entirely on these three Heavenly Saint Realm experts, relying solely on the power of these three fourth-grade sects!"

"Because, our Thirteen Southern Nations have an enemy force that has held a grudge for thousands of years, which is, the Ten Great Demon Sects of the Western Desolation!"

Fairy Jia Luo's words caused Ye Chen and Jiang Yao to feel a surge in their hearts.

They had always thought that cultivating in the sect was peaceful and tranquil, but they never expected that the Thirteen Southern Nations would have blood feuds, that they would have such feuds with the Ten Great Demon Sects of the Western Desolation!

Whoosh!

Fairy Jia Luo pointed at the "Ten Great Demon Sects of the Western Desolation" on the "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map," and another huge painting appeared in the void.

This was an even greater territory than the Thirteen Southern Nations, a vast expanse where the ten demon sects were entrenched, occupying the entire western breadth of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

Fairy Jia Luo, staring at the giant map of the Ten Great Demon Sects of the Western Desolation, also became extremely solemn.

"The reason the Ten Great Demon Sects of the Western Desolation hold a grudge against our Thirteen Southern Nations is because, in ancient times, the entire territory of the Thirteen Southern Nations belonged to the demon sects!"

Boom!

The entire Thirteen Southern Nations of the Barbaric Wilderness originally belonged to the domain of the ten great demonic sects? Heavenly Wind Kingdom was also part of the territory under the ten great demonic sects' rule?

The secret history Fairy Jia Luo spoke of took both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao by surprise.

"Back then, originally the ten great demonic sects were immensely powerful, dominating vast expanses of land in the southern and western regions of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and throughout the continent, they were renowned. That was because the strongest among the ten great demonic sects had reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, an unparalleled formidable figure."

"This unparalleled formidable figure, known as 'Red Moon Ancestor,' was the founder of the ten great demonic sects, and even his disciples were ten early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, who were the sect leaders of the ten great demonic sects!"

"Later, this Red Moon Ancestor provoked a peerless Loose Cultivator hidden on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. That peerless Loose Cultivator slew the Red Moon Ancestor, and even eight of the ten disciples of the Red Moon Ancestor died by the hand of that peerless Loose Cultivator, causing the strength of the entire ten great demonic sects to plummet abruptly!"

"That peerless Loose Cultivator even ousted the ten great demonic sects from the Southern Territory, drawing a Heavenly Demon Gorge that stretched thousands of miles across the void to serve as the boundary between the Southern Territory and the Western Desolate Territory, forbidding the ten great demonic sects from setting foot in the Southern Territory ever again!"

"Gradually, as other powers moved into Southern Territory, the Thirteen Southern Nations were formed, along with the various major sects within these nations."

The matter of that peerless Loose Cultivator and the Red Moon Ancestor mentioned by Fairy Jia Luo completely stunned Ye Chen.

Especially the peerless Loose Cultivator, just hearing about his deeds filled Ye Chen with immense admiration!

To single-handedly slay the Red Moon Ancestor, and even kill eight early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, moreover drawing a Heavenly Demon Gorge thousands of miles long in the void as the boundary line, preventing the entire force of the ten great demonic sects from taking a single step into the Southern Territory!

Such strength was truly terrifying to the point of causing alarm!

It wasn't just Ye Chen who was astonished by the prowess of the peerless Loose Cultivator; Jiang Yao, too, was taken aback. Even Fairy Jia Luo showed a look of veneration when she spoke of the peerless Loose Cultivator.

"With such strength, the peerless Loose Cultivator completely subdued the ten great demonic sects; naturally, they wouldn't dare to step into Southern Territory and could only shrink back in the Western Desolate Territory."

"But, this deterrence that had lasted for over a thousand years began to slowly dissipate after the peerless Loose Cultivator ascended to the Minor Spirit Realm."

"That peerless Loose Cultivator was alone; his punishment of the Red Moon Ancestor was purely a personal vendetta, and he left nothing for the Thirteen Southern Nations. Once the peerless Loose Cultivator ascended to the Minor Spirit Realm, the ten great demonic sects grew increasingly impatient to reclaim the land of Southern Territory."

"The ten great demonic sects desired to retake the territory of Southern Territory, while the powers that had entered Southern Territory had now inherited it for over a thousand years, developing many generations of legacies, and naturally, they were even less willing to leave easily."

"Thus, a great war inevitably erupted!"

"In the ensuing thousands of years, the ten great demonic sects and the forces of Southern Territory fought countless battles, during which even Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses fell, while the numbers of fallen Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses are too many to count, not to mention True Qi Realm and Spirit Sea Realm disciples."

"Through such battles, the blood feud between the ten great demonic sects and the Thirteen Southern Nations grew even deeper, even surpassing the blood feud from the days of the peerless Loose Cultivator."

"It was only in recent centuries, as new Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses emerged in the Thirteen Southern Nations, and the overall strength reached a balance with the ten great demonic sects, that the great war has paused for a few hundred years."

"However, all cultivators from the Thirteen Southern Nations and the ten great demonic sects know that this balance is bound to break sooner or later, and the war between the two sides will continue to loom."

"Unless one side possesses absolute power over the other, such a millennia-spanning blood feud will never be so easily resolved!"

Having said this, Fairy Jia Luo turned her gaze to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

"Ye Chen, Yao'er, I tell you this to let you know that your cultivation career may be met with blood and violence at any time."

"What will you do if the ten great demonic sects wage a great war against us, the Thirteen Southern Nations, and your strength is not sufficient? Ye Chen, your father and mother are in Heavenly Wind Kingdom; can you bear to watch them be killed by the ten great demonic sects right at your doorstep?"

"No! All of us who live in the Thirteen Southern Nations cannot abandon our homes, our countries. So, once the war breaks out, all Martial Artists will be drawn into it!"

"Therefore, take advantage of this rare peace to strengthen yourself. You must work hard to improve your strength, to cultivate diligently!"

"Only with absolute power can you face any volatility that arises!"

"It's not just you two, even I am the same. If a great war truly breaks out, my life will also be in danger, and I am continuously cultivating without rest!"

"All those in the Thirteen Southern Nations and the Western Desolate ten great demonic sects who are aware of this secret blood feud probably feel the same as us, fearful of reprisal from the other side, a sword hanging over their heads, all striving to become stronger!"

"This situation might instead make the war break out at any moment!"

"So, we have to be well-prepared for everything!"

Fairy Jia Luo looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, saying earnestly.
