Chapter 986: Oracle District

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Han Bingxue knew that he only needed to bear it for one full day. After that, the pain would disappear. In fact, this suffering would bring him great benefit in his body's flexibility.

However, it was… just too difficult to bear.

He had thought about asking Ye Xiao for help, but when he looked at Ye Xiao, the latter was always gloating. He could read from Ye Xiao's eyes that the latter knew he had taken a great advantage on this. That look in Ye Xiao's eyes made him give up the thought of asking for help!

The three of them eventually arrived at Oracle District. What they saw on the road was definitely a place that was much wealthier than the towns they saw before. However, there was one thing they noticed… in this district, they could feel fewer powerful cultivators.

As they moved deeper into the north, they realized there were less and less powerful cultivators that they could sense.

When they were one-third of the way into the center, they found that the most powerful cultivators they sensed were no higher than level six of Dao Origin Stage!

"Oracle District is the weakest cultivation district in the Qing-Yun Realm. People here are always generous but not powerful. Real powerful figures seldom come to this place."

Xuan Bing blandly said, "It is said that once there was a god descending to this place. The god sighed and said this place wasn't fit for martial art cultivation!

"Maybe it was a prediction, or maybe it was a curse. After that, this place never had any man who could reach level nine of Dao Origin Stage.

"That is why this place is called Oracle District."

"Look at it now. I guess it is even worse than a thousand years ago," Xuan Bing said. "On our way here, I only sensed one man who is nearly level seven of Dao Origin Stage. There is nobody else who has reached a higher level than that man.

"Now, here in this place, the strongest is merely level five. I guess the cultivators just get weaker and weaker as we go closer and closer to the center. I guess the cultivators ahead of us will be even weaker.

"That means a level seven Dao Origin Stage cultivator can live like a king in this district."

Her black robe was flicking in the air. She smiled in a sneering way and said, "It is a big district here. But if Misty Cloud Palace wants to conquer this district, we just need to send a few level seven disciples. That will fully control the entire Oracle District."

Ye Xiao stared at the void in front, lost in thoughts. It looked like he had nothing in mind, but in fact, deep in his heart, he was astonished.

[This is where Ye Clan is located?]

[My father, Ye Nantian, is from this special district?]

[No matter how talented he was, he was limited in this Oracle District!]

Ye Xiao tried to catch the spiritual qi in the air by inhaling while operating the East-rising Purple Qi to absorb the energy, so as to improve his cultivation. However, even with such an extraordinary method, he couldn't absorb any of the spiritual qi in this place. The spiritual qi just kept floating in the air and wouldn't get into him.

[How… How is this possible?]

He was living a second life now. Since he learned East-rising Purple Qi, he had been improving fast. There were some experiences that helped him with the improvement, but the great East-rising Purple Qi was the main reason why he could be so fast in cultivation!

In Cold Moon Palace, where there was full of spiritual qi, he could absorb ten times the amount of spiritual qi without the use of East-rising Purple Qi within two hours! However, with the help of East-rising Purple Qi, in this place, he could only absorb one-tenth of the amount in two hours.

What a huge difference an environment could make!

After he checked, he surprisingly found that the spiritual qi in this place was dense. There was more spiritual qi in this place than many other places, however, the spiritual was also more energetic than the others.

Cultivators would have to work hundreds of times harder to catch the spiritual qi.

They had to catch the qi and conquer the qi.

In other places, they just needed to absorb, but not in this place.

When they were cultivating, they needed to gather it, catch it, conquer it, and then absorb it. It was a much tougher process. Only those who experienced this could truly feel the difficulty.

Ye Xiao had just tried to do it. He realized that cultivation in this place was truly inefficient, even though he had the East-rising Purple Qi. Compared to the cultivation rate he had outside this place, he was like riding a broken oxcart, while he used to ride an eagle out there!

"What is wrong with this place? How come things are so weird in this place?" Ye Xiao opened his eyes.

"You felt it too? You have a sharp sensation!" Xuan Bing looked at him and smiled bitterly. She said, "This place is huge… It should be a big fat piece of meat. However, the powerful forces in the realm never wanted to control this place. What you found is the reason. After all, the bigger fist makes the law. The most important thing is cultivation.

"The forces in the realm could conquer this place with just little resources. It is never a difficult thing for any of the sects. However, it barely brings them anything in return. In fact, whoever is sent to this place will degenerate day by day. If a sect's disciples degenerate, the entire sect degenerates. That will only weaken them. It never helps to have an empty district. It can't even give them any pleasure.

"The god's power made this place. A huge piece of tasty meat, but useless!

"Human power can't change this."

Xuan Bing said.

Ye Xiao was enlightened. He said, "I see. So this place is abandoned by the martial world?"

"They just don't want to have it. I won't say they abandoned it." Xuan Bing was smiling. "You know, when we first met, Han Bingxue said something right, even though he didn't know it. What he said was exactly what this place is. Because this place is full of spiritual energy from sky and earth, the natural materials in this place are always valuable.

"However, the three great palaces have been trying to hide this message from the world. On the edge of this district, there are lots of our people who are here to focus on purchasing medical materials.

"Take Misty Cloud Palace as an example… Our Regeneration Ink Lotus are mostly from this district."
