Chapter 100: Comparison
One man, one boat, one sword.
It has been a few days since he left Luoyu Island, and Yi Han has really opened his eyes in the past few days, and he really feels that he has been watching the sky from a well before.
The entire area of the Liuyun Islands is hundreds of thousands of miles large, with thousands of islands and tens of millions of people scattered among them. And Yi Han's previous range of activities was only to rotate between Luoyu Island and Nanxi Island, and he hadn't really seen the outside world.
Since its discovery, the Drifting Cloud Islands have attracted the attention of several forces. The Longxi Kingdom was one of the first forces to occupy the Liuyun Islands. However, the area it occupied was very small before, with only more than 100 spirit islands around Nanxi Island as the center.
These spirit islands are not very far apart, easy to manage, and have good resources, and have been a springboard for the Longxi Kingdom to conquer the entire Liuyun Islands before.
After taking the entire Liuyun Islands, these former islands, especially Nanxi Island, naturally became the center of the Liuyun Islands. However, this center is only temporary.
Except for the earliest Lingdao in Longxi Kingdom, the remaining Lingdao was severely damaged in the war, and the existing buildings and resources on the island were either destroyed or plundered. Even Lingdao, which had developed well under the management of other countries before, was close to being deserted. This is what makes Nanxi Island the center of the Liuyun Islands.
However, whether it is the area or location of Nanxi Island, it is not the top in the entire Liuyun Islands. It's only because the other Spirit Islands haven't developed yet, and they can't compete with a few big families on the island, that it can continue to be the center.
Now the spirit islands of these other countries have been in the hands of Longxi Kingdom, and have been divided by Longxi Kingdom to many meritorious people. Various emerging forces have begun to reopen these spirit islands. When these islands are really developed, it is really hard to say whether Nanxi Island will be able to maintain its central position.
Of course, the forces on these spirit islands are all new forces that have just begun to develop. Yi Han originally thought that it would definitely take time for them to surpass the old forces like Nanxi Island. But after passing through several spirit islands along the way, he realized that his idea was wrong.
……
Relying on Nanxi Island, it is convenient to replenish resources, and it is in a group of old islands in Longxi Country, which is more convenient, and there is also the help of the system, Yi Han feels that the development of Luoyu Island has been very fast.
However, after a few days of traveling, he found that the other Spirit Islands were developing faster.
It is close to Nanxi Island and safe. However, it is too safe and hinders the development of Rakuba Island.
As many spirit islands were continuously divided, more and more forces came to the Liuyun Islands. Most of these forces are the descendants of big families, with sufficient talent and resource support, and they should not develop too fast.
Of course, jumping out of the first hundred or so old islands of Nanxi Island, these new islands are not only sparing no effort to develop. And the situation between them is also very tense.
It has been a few months since the partition of the island, and the support that each family can provide is basically in place, and the future development depends on the ability of the individual. When the support of the family gradually stops, all these new forces can do is plunder. Plunder the resources of other forces.
The rules of Longxi Country are a bit strange. He strictly forbade high-ranking monks to bully low-ranking monks, and he did not allow high-ranking forces to infringe on low-level forces, but he rarely interfered in fights between forces of the same rank.
This kind of regulation is dangerous for some weak Spirit Islands. But danger also represents opportunity. With such a rule, every force felt a heavy pressure and did not dare to slack off. Prevent being swallowed up by others, and also think about annexing others.
In the past few days, Yi Han has seen disputes between several new forces. Although the scale is not large, it is very tragic, and it often fights to the death. What Luoyu Island currently lacks is such a strength, such a courage to treat death as life.
Yi Han felt that this practice of Longxi Country was like raising Gu. Put a bunch of Gu worms together and pick the most powerful one.
As for only allowing competition at the same level, I guess I want to protect the low-level forces with potential.
The higher forces are like the pillars, and the lower forces are the cornerstones. The cornerstone is unstable, and no matter how bullish the pillars are, they are in vain. But now these new forces have made the foundation too loose and unreliable. Therefore, the Longxi Kingdom is laissez-faire with the struggle between forces of the same level, just to find a few solid and potential cornerstones.
But if the higher forces intervene, any potential will be nipped in the bud. This is not conducive to the long-term development of a force.
At present, the new forces have just gained a firm foothold among themselves, and their own strength has not yet been stabilized, so the competition between the various forces is not fierce. But the disputes that can be seen everywhere make Yi Han believe that it won't be long before a big scuffle will be ushered in.
The chaos of thousands of spirit islands, he could imagine that kind of grandeur, and he could also imagine that kind of tragedy. When the time comes, it will be dark and bloody.
However, it is estimated that that will not happen in a few more years. For a long time, there will be such innocuous friction between the various forces. Because no one dares to gamble when they are not sure.
……
Of course, Yi Han didn't go out this time to watch the battle between various forces. One of the purposes of his travel was to find an opportunity to break through the foundation building period, and the other was to understand the development and characteristics of each spirit island, to see if he could learn from the experience and whether it could help the development of Luoyu Island.
On the third day after leaving Luoyu Island, Yi Han arrived at the first Spirit Island.
This is a spirit island occupied by new forces. This Spirit Island is twice as large as Luoyu Island, and the construction is also good. It can be seen that the owner of the island has not been lazy in the past few months when he got Lingdao.
However, this kind of spirit island can't help Yi Han much. This place is too close to the old island of Longxi Country, it is relatively calm, and because of some new islands around him, he has developed the best, and there is no Spirit Island to provoke here.
There is not a bit of urgency on the island. Everyone seems to be quite laid-back and carefree. It is not easy for a monk in this environment to go crazy in his cultivation, but it is also not easy to progress.
After stopping at the first Spirit Island for a while, Yi Han did not stop and continued to walk towards the depths of the Liuyun Islands.
His goal this time is the true center of the entire Drifting Cloud Islands. It is there that the battle is fiercest, the most likely to replace Nanxi Island, and the most conducive to the breakthrough of Yi Han.
However, the time spent on this journey must not be much, and there will be many dangers along the way, Yi Han does not know if he can succeed. But he couldn't give up anyway.
Luoyu Island is trapped between various old forces, and it is difficult to develop. And after passing through many islands, he didn't have much confidence in developing outward. He must find a breakthrough as soon as possible or a way to break through the situation on the island of Luoyu.
