Chapter 1034: Chapter 986: Luck
In these ten years, over a hundred thousand mortals have been added to the island, and they have given birth to many offspring with Spiritual Roots.
However, due to the limited time, the oldest among them are merely eight or nine, having just completed three years of bone and muscle tempering, along with various basic Cultivation teachings, starting their Cultivation for only a year or two.
Among them, those with dual Spiritual Roots and the best aptitude have reached the third layer of Qi Cultivation, and those with poorer aptitude have barely stepped into the door of Qi Cultivation.
Thus, waiting for them to grow up would need at least another hundred years.
Unless the main family sends more cultivators to strengthen the power of Wanling Island, or the Sea Clan abandons the coastal area and stops attacking, Li Zhirui is not comfortable with leaving.
However, the main family needs more clan members, and even if they can provide support, they cannot send too many people. To prevent the branches from developing independent thoughts and severing ties with the main family, they will also take some clan members back from Wanling Island.
As for the latter scenario, the difficulty is even greater. The Sea Clan has suffered a significant loss, losing such a huge territory; how could they possibly give up after their luck and standing has been greatly diminished?
Moreover, there is a large Spirit Stone vein on Wanling Island that needs a strong presence.
Nevertheless, with Li Zhirui’s current level of Cultivation, there is no difference whether he practices in Mount Wanxian or Wanling Island.
Seeing Li Zhirui’s refusal, Li Chengsheng did not say more. He knew his father’s thoughts well, respectfully performed a salute, and then activated the Spirit Boat to leave.
After bidding farewell to Li Chengsheng and the others, Wanling Island returned to its usual calm.

"Planting methods for unique Spirit Seeds, spatial-type Spirit Seeds..."
Da Qing thought quietly to himself, ultimately sighing helplessly.
He had left Wanling Island to gain experience for decades, but he had never heard of these two types of Spirit Seeds. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
"Could it be because of the places I have traveled are incorrect?" Da Qing frowned.
Because he belonged to a different race, upon leaving Wanling Island, Da Qing did not choose to head west but decided to go northwards!
The reason is simple, the Northern Domain is the territory of the Ancient Remnant Race; the human race is not thriving there, so the threat is relatively smaller, and the environment is more primitive, making it easier to find various unique flowers and herbs, increasing the likelihood of finding the eligible Spirit Seeds.
Of course, the threat from the human race has significantly decreased, but it does not mean that Da Qing is safe.
Creatures in the Northern Domain are ferocious and bloodthirsty, and they seem to have some discontent with the Devil Race. If not for Da Qing being cautious enough and having formidable strength and good luck, avoiding encounters with extremely powerful creatures, he would not know how many times he might have died on his journey.
Of course, over the decades, Da Qing has also reaped considerable rewards.
He has obtained a tier-eight Spiritual Object and several tier-seven Spiritual Objects, including two types of Spiritual Medicine he had never seen before. As for tier-six and tier-five Spiritual Objects, those are even more numerous, totaling dozens of items.
"If I still haven’t found any news about the two types of Spiritual Objects in the next thirty years, I will leave the Northern Domain and head south!" After making up his mind, Da Qing stopped dwelling on it.
He sat cross-legged within the Defensive Array and began today’s routine Cultivation.
A night uneventful.
It was not until the Sun was high the next day did Da Qing exit from the temporary cave and start a new day of exploration.
Looking as far as the eye could see, the river twisted and spread, surrounded by grasslands and trees, appearing vibrant but with barely any creatures, making it feel more desolate.
The reason for this seems to be that the Ancient Remnant Race deliberately do so because if there are too many creatures, it could easily breed Devil Beasts, and over time, the Devil Race might grow in strength, causing them concern over losing their final habitat.
Therefore, the Ancient Remnant Race tacitly exterminated or expelled the creatures of the Northern Domain, not allowing them to stay or breed.
And the Northern Domain is not the land of ice and snow year-round as people think; that is the far north!
Most areas in the Northern Domain have a cool and warm climate for half of the year, or else why would the remnant races choose to settle here?
Time passed day by day, and Da Qing continued to roam around the Northern Domain, searching for suitable Spirit Seeds.
"Eh?"
A figure flying high above suddenly stopped, looking down at Da Qing with a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a junior with the Cangyuan Wood Turtle Bloodline."
The next moment, they appeared directly in front of Da Qing, asking, "Where did the Cangyuan Wood Turtle Bloodline you carry come from?"
Da Qing’s expression changed slightly, and he watched the other cautiously. He could sense the other’s formidable power; the inadvertent aura released was enough to threaten his life!
Fortunately, the other had no ill intentions. If only they exerted a bit more pressure, they could severely injure Da Qing.
"The junior ascended from the lower realms, and as for the bloodline the senior mentioned, it was chosen during my bloodline’s advancement," Da Qing honestly replied.
In front of such a senior, it’s best not to play any tricks!
"It turns out to be so."
Following that, they frowned and asked, "Did you sign a contract with the human race?"
Although Li Zhirui changed his Cultivation Technique, making the connection between the two less apparent, combined with Da Qing’s Turtle Breath talent, a regular Void Refinement cultivator could not discern his true origin.
However, in front of high-level cultivators, nothing could escape their eyes.
"Yes."
Da Qing respectfully and honestly said, "Jiu treated me extremely well; without him, there wouldn’t be me today."
"Hmph!"
The senior scoffed disdainfully but did not say much more. If not for the sake of the Cangyuan Wood Turtle bloodline, they wouldn’t have shown up at all.
