3299: C3299 Resource Competition

C3299 Resource Competition

Although he agreed to join the Heavenly Court, it wasn't that fast.

Yang Bo's group did not fly normally to the Upper Realm, but took a shortcut instead. This was different from the previous situation.

Qi Cultivator s who normally ascended could directly join the Heavenly Court, but a situation like Yang Bo's group was a little more complicated. The Heavenly Court still needed to verify their identity.

Peng Xiangshan and Chen Daochong had been through this when they first came here.

However, they were the elites of the Luofu Fairyland and the Wuyi Wonderland, so all they needed to do was to find their own family's Grandmaster, who was flying here, and prove their identities.

Yang Bo could not help but wonder, if Chen Daochong had already come to the Celestial Realm, why did he go down there?

If Chen Daochong broke through his Upper Realm, he would be able to enjoy his longevity and return to the lower realms. What was he planning to do?

Yang Bo had been here for quite a few days. According to Peng Xiangshan, Chen Daochong was in closed-door training and was about to break through to the Longevity Stage, thus he did not come to see Yang Bo.

Yang Bo had been staying at the Grand Cloud Market during this period of time. He had to help everyone adapt to the life here as soon as possible, and he even had to help them arrange the training underneath!

Yang Bo came to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion again. He was planning to buy a protective magic treasure for Shen Danhua and the others, but after going around in a circle, he was suddenly stopped when he was about to leave because the price of the magic treasure here was too high!

"Fellow Taoist Yang!"

Yang Bo turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see Zhang Tianxiao standing behind him.

Zhang Tianxiao's eyes widened as he ran over while laughing loudly, "I didn't expect that it really was Fellow Taoist Yang!"

"I heard Martial Uncle Liu say that you're on the Free Island. When did you come here?"

Yang Bo was very surprised. He did not expect to meet Zhang Tijun here. Previously, they had experienced the Immortal Path Flower Tomb together and had a good relationship with each other. He walked forward with a smile and said, "I just arrived here recently!"

Zhang Tianjun quickly stretched out his hand to guide her, "Fellow Taoist Yang, follow me upstairs. Let's chat slowly!"

After not seeing him for a few years, Zhang Tianjun's cultivation had broken through to the Longevity Stage.

The two of them sat down and chatted about the experiences of the past few years. After Yang Bo finished, it caused Zhang Tianjun to sigh endlessly.

Since the last time they parted, Zhang Tianjun had returned to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to undergo closed door cultivation. After consuming the Immortal Increasing Pill, he spent two years to breakthrough to the Longevity Stage.

These past few years, Zhang Tianjun had been in closed-door seclusion until he came out half a year ago. He was arranged to be here to guard the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Yang Bo had experienced a lot of things on the Free Island, but Zhang Tianjun was like a blank sheet of paper. Other than going into seclusion, he had no other experiences.

Zhang Tianjun was extremely envious of Yang Bo's experience. He really wanted to go out and adventure.

Yang Bo was envious of Zhang Tianjun's life. He was not worried. As long as he cultivated with ease, once his cultivation reached that level, he would naturally be able to obtain a pill to break through. This was the ideal life!

After chatting for a long time, Yang Bo brought up the matter of joining the Heavenly Court. He wanted to seek Zhang Tijun's opinion.

Zhang Tianjun had been staying in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and had a close personal experience with this matter. After hearing Yang Bo mention this matter, he pondered for a moment, then said, "Fellow Taoist Yang, this matter has its pros and cons!"

"You should be aware that if you join a large force, you'll definitely enjoy protection. In fact, you'll be able to exchange cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, and magical items at a relatively low price!"

"However, a great battle is coming. This time, it's going to be very dangerous!"

Yang Bo looked at Zhang Tijun. Even though he knew that this battle was very dangerous, he didn't have a clear understanding of it. Since Zhang Tianxiong was in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, he must know something!

Yang Bo couldn't help but ask, "How dangerous is it?"

Zhang Tianjun solemnly declared, "It's a narrow escape from death!"

Yang Bo's eyes widened as he looked at Zhang Tijun in surprise. He had already expected that this battle would be dangerous, but whether it was Peng Xiangshan or Mansion Lord Qin, they had both heard the news and could not give Yang Bo a clear answer!1

Yang Bo pondered for a moment, "Can Fellow Taoist Zhang explain it to me in detail?"

"How long will this war last? Why is there a high chance of survival? Don't tell me all of us here are going to pay with our lives?"

Zhang Tianjun did not reply immediately. Instead, he raised his cup of tea and took a sip. His expression was extremely solemn. He looked at Yang Bo and said, "Fellow Taoist Yang, I'm afraid you don't know the root of this matter!"

"This war is a struggle between immortals and demonic beasts. The most important thing is still to seize resources!"

Yang Bo was slightly shocked as he looked at Zhang Tijun, "Competing for resources?"

"Didn't humans send demon beasts to the coldest region of the world because these demon beasts killed innocent people?"

Zhang Tianjun shook his head and sighed, "Fellow Taoist Yang, you might not have too much information on this matter, so you might not know the whole story. But because of this incident, I specifically looked up the story regarding that incident in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."

"Let me ask you a question. The demon beast transformation is able to gain intelligence and comply with the moral norms of humans. But if it doesn't transform, does that mean it doesn't have intelligence?"

Yang Bo thought of the demon beasts he came in contact with. They seemed to be very intelligent!

Zhang Tianxiao said, "The wisdom of a demon beast does not lie in its human form, nor in its moral principles. If you kill all the demon beasts in one go, you should not leave any demon beasts behind!"

"The most fundamental reason is the allocation of resources, because too many demon beasts exist and will consume too much resources. Then, we can only drive away most of the demon beasts!"

Yang Bo was enlightened. He finally understood the problem with the explanation that he believed. The explanation that he had used previously described killing innocent people without any moral constraints. This way, he could not avoid feeling that the demon beasts were fierce!

In fact, the majority of the demon beasts Yang Bo came in contact with wouldn't recklessly kill innocent people. Would the demon beasts that were driven away become ferocious because they chose not to transform?

In the extreme cold lands of the north, spiritual energy was not necessarily scarce. However, cultivation resources were definitely inferior to those here. If those demonic beasts wanted to take back their homeland, they would have to go all out!

In this way, Zhang Tianjun's' narrow escape 'made sense!

Yang Bo cupped his hands towards Zhang Tianjun and said: "Thank you, Fellow Taoist Zhang!"

"May I ask Fellow Taoist Zhang, according to the information that you have seen, how long have the great wars been going on?"

Zhang Tianxiao said with a smile, "Does Fellow Taoist Yang know how many years I plan to stay here?"

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, he did not understand the other party's intention, "The Immortal Treasure Pavilion rotates once every 30 years, could it be that Fellow Taoist Zhang wants to stay here for a hundred years?"

Zhang Tianjun nodded, "Yes, I intend to stay here for a hundred years before deciding!"

"In all the wars that have been fought, the shortest was thirty years, and the longest was over a hundred years!"

"Although the Grand Cloud Market is the periphery of the Heavenly Court, it's very safe. If this war continues for too long, a large amount of resources will be consumed. At that time, the outside world will be in chaos!"

Yang Bo was filled with shock.
