Chapter 169: The Strange East China Sea Realms
A month later, a large, not-so-prosperous island had a new owner.
There are many spiritual realms in the depths of the East China Sea, some large spiritual realms may occupy hundreds of islands and millions of miles of sea area, and small spiritual realms may be a strategic alliance composed of one or two small islands.
Yuntong Spiritual Realm has a total of seventy-two large islands, hundreds of small islands, and more than 800,000 miles of sea area - just looking at this number, it may be ranked in the East China Sea, but unfortunately these islands and sea areas are relatively remote, and the aura of heaven and earth is insufficient, so the rating will naturally decline, so if Yuntong Spiritual Realm is placed in the Nine Domains and Twelve Continents, it can only be regarded as a force of about four grades.
After the chaos of the first few days, Ye Shijian finally came out of the pain of losing his father, but he had no feelings for Yun Ye Lingzun and Ye Dumei, so he proposed to leave after staying in the Qianyuan Palace for a few days.
- It's not that he left the Yuntong Spiritual Realm, but because he didn't know how to get along with his mother and sister who suddenly appeared, he planned to live in other places in the Yuntong Spiritual Realm.
Yun Ye Lingzun seemed to know the awkwardness in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, Ye Shi became "Yun Kejun", and one of the seventy-two large islands was assigned to his territory.
Ye Shijian: "......"
This cheap mother seems to be much more generous than his father, and it is a big island!
Ye Shijian was in a complicated mood and didn't want to accept such heavy maternal love.
But Yun Ye Lingzun's attitude was also very clear-she didn't care what Ye Shijian had in mind, since she was her heir, she would either stay in Qianyuan Palace and be a well-behaved and cute little prince and princess, anyway, she would be able to cover them, or she would work hard to make a career by herself, and a big island was the initial capital she gave.
In other words, if Ye Shijian doesn't accept this island, then don't go anywhere, forget about revenge, and be a rice worm honestly.
Ye Shijian naturally couldn't forget his father's hatred, so in the end he agreed, and soon after he set off to Yunke Island.
The five Lingjun kept their promise and acted as his thugs, bodyguards and dog-headed military advisors, and they also came.
In addition, Ye Dumei also seemed to be afraid of Yun Ye Lingzun's forced marriage from time to time, and under the banner of "my brother doesn't understand the situation, I want to help him when I am a sister", and cheekily rubbed the cloud car that came to Yunke Island.
After arriving at Yunke Island, a few people settled down in the owner's mansion, and then went to several cities on the island to investigate - the situation was not good.
There are a total of nine large cities on Yunke Island, not counting the rest of the villages and walled cities, and the number of monks accounts for about 30% of the total population—this is an impossible number in the Nine Regions and Twelve Continents, but in the East China Sea Realms, this is normal.
Because of the constant turmoil here, major wars would break out every once in a while, and the wars between cultivators would often turn mountains and seas upside down, and even if mortals were not the main target of the monks, they would be affected by a large number of deaths.
Over time, the population of mortals could not grow, and the number of low-level monks gradually increased - after all, in this world, the human race wants to embark on the immortal path, although the spiritual root is very important, but it is not impossible for people who do not have spiritual roots to cultivate, and there are other ways, such as entering the Tao with martial arts.
Yunke Island is just a very ordinary island in the East China Sea Realms, but it is like a microcosm, exposing the problems of the East China Sea Realms.
First of all, there are problems such as negative population growth, acute social contradictions, and people's mental numbness caused by years of turmoil, and secondly, environmental damage, excessive exploitation of spiritual veins, and increasingly scarce cultivation resources......
And the worst thing is the attitude of Yuntong Spirit Realm towards large islands like Yunke Island.
Before Ye Shijian, Yun Ke Jun, took office, Yun Ke Island had been without an island master for many years, and there was no management by any forces under the Yuntong Spirit Realm faction, and all kinds of small forces in Yun Ke Island grew savagely, even more rampant than the Lord of the Spirit Realm.
In the eyes of Lingjun, a disciple of a great sect like Ling Jun who has received a modern political education and has a strict background like Lin Yucheng and Su Qinghuai, Yuntong Lingjing is not a qualified master at all.
Even Ye Shijian, comparing the situation of Langhuan Blessed Land, felt that it was not possible for the Yuntong Spiritual Realm to do this - not only the Yuntong Spiritual Realm, but also the East China Sea Realm, if it continued like this, even if there were no foreign enemies, they would one day kill themselves.
However, Ye Dumei said: "This is also something that can't be helped, war may break out at any time, and the Quanhai Spirit Realm next door will be staring at it all day long, who is still in the mood to engage in infrastructure construction, it's good to be alive." ”
At this moment, even Long Yingyun had a subtle sympathy in his heart-the people in the East China Sea Realms looked even worse than him.
Ye Dumei was still saying: "Shi Jian, this matter is very complicated, you don't have to worry about it at all, those non-mainstream forces on Yunke Island will not dare to provoke you, and they will pay tribute on time, and if you dare not be in arrears, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind." ”
Ye Shijian looked at this cheap sister, and a line of words floated through her mind - big chest and no brain......
Ahem, no, no, no, he can't say that Ye Dumei, there is no relationship between big breasts and whether he has brains!
Or Su Qinghuai couldn't help it, how could she, a righteous woman from a righteous sect, sit back and watch the people of Li Min live in dire straits?
Those small forces are not in the eyes of the Lord of the Yuntong Spirit Realm, but in their sphere of influence, they are the heavens, and they can act recklessly and careless of human life, which is no different from demon cultivation - even inferior to demon cultivation, at least those demon dao sects still have their own style.
It's just, it's just ......
"Ruffians. Lingjun answered lazily.
Only then did Su Qinghuai realize that she had said what was in her heart, but as soon as she said it, she had to continue, "Yes, ruffians and hooligans! You are also the lord of a realm, and you are also the monarch of a country in the mortal world, and you actually rely on some ruffians and hooligans to manage the country? You actually let those shameless scum bully your people?"
Ye Dumei blinked, a little at a loss, and said, "Ah, but it's like this in other places in the East China Sea!"
She is also from a noble background, she doesn't know the sufferings of the world, she only knows cultivation and refuses to marry on weekdays, where can she see those low-level monks and mortals?
Coupled with the environmental impact, I really don't think there's anything wrong with that.
"Is this the case with the rest of the East China Sea?" Ling Jun suddenly asked, "The same is true of the spirit realms of Wuyuan, Zeyang, and Ningjin that you mentioned earlier?"
Wuyuan, Zeyang, Ningjin and other spiritual realms are the most powerful spiritual realms in the East China Sea realms, and they are not much stronger than the Yuntong spiritual realms - such a force, doesn't anyone want to get the shortcomings of this chaotic development model?
Even if they can't think of it, isn't there a great power that can travel to the Nine Domains and Twelve Continents to learn advanced management experience?
Lin Yucheng also looked thoughtful.
Ye Dumei didn't know why, but she still nodded, "Yes, I've been to the Wuyuan Spirit Realm a few times before, where the heaven and earth aura is rich and there are more strong people, but other places are not much different from the Yuntong Spirit Realm." ”
Hearing this, even a person with thick nerves like Jing Hong could hear that something was wrong.
