But this method is only a temporary solution to the crisis caused by the Linghan Spring, for any sect, the loose cultivation is an ant that can be pinched to death at any time, often the loose cultivation risked his life to collect the Linghan Spring, and the disciples of the various sects who were ambushed around killed people and seized the treasure, and there will be conflicts between the various sects, which is actually equivalent to not solving the problem here. The war is still going on, but it has changed from the masters above the Yuan Ying of various sects to the battles below the Jindan, and the essence is still the same.

Therefore, the Inquisition was confined to the republican zone within the 100-mile sea area around the trench, and any form of fighting was strictly enforced. But this was only a temporary end to the battle between the various sects, in fact, the sects quickly found a new way, they raised a large number of loose cultivators, so that they could enter this place to collect the Spirit Cold Spring, and secretly encouraged them to snatch the Spirit Cold Spring in the hands of the rest of the loose cultivators.

After all, the inquisition is mainly to restrain the major sects, and for loose cultivation, it is impossible for the inquisition to besiege and kill on a large scale, which directly leads to the fact that within the range of the nearby hundred miles of sea area, although there are no disciples from the major sects, but between the scattered cultivators, it is for a small bottle of spiritual cold spring to fight, and the blood stains the deep sea.

Since then, it has become a place of chaos, and for a long time, it has even become an area where all sects strictly prohibit their disciples from stepping in. It's like a three-way zone, and the killings that take place in it stain large swathes of the sea red every day.

Gradually, the scattered cultivators also knew that this place was dangerous, and in the face of the temptations of various sects, they were no longer tempted. After all, coming here is a life of nine deaths, even if many sects promise to collect a certain number of Linghan Springs before they can make an exception to accept them as disciples. But even if you enter those sects, it's only a little better than a handyman. Although there have been people who have soared to the sky for more than 200,000 years, they are very few after all. Less than negligible.

About less than 200,000 years ago, in the Kyushu world, that is, in this extremely special sea. A new profession has emerged - pirates.

Of course, they are not pirates in the usual sense, as immortal cultivators. It is absolutely forbidden to attack mortals, and casual cultivation is no exception, and violators will inevitably lead to the verdict of the Inquisition, and will face endless pursuit by monks.

These pirates are all composed of loose cultivators, and they form gangs with each other for the purpose of the Linghan Spring. They never wanted to join any sect, they had only one purpose in snatching the Spirit Cold Spring. That is to exchange for spirit stones and other cultivation resources, and after hoarding a batch of spirit cold springs, they will trade with the sects that are in demand.

The appearance of pirates has actually stabilized the area for a certain period of time, at least greatly reducing the killing among the scattered cultivators. Although these pirates robbed the Linghan Spring, they did not kill them every time, and they would only kill them unless they encountered a stubborn one who would not hand over the Linghan Spring in their hands.

For pirates, the Inquisition is also not very easy to intervene, the key is that the number of loose cultivators is too large. You wipe out a group of pirates, and the next day a new group of pirates will emerge, and the appearance of pirates will effectively stabilize the situation. The Inquisition turned a blind eye and let it develop.

More than 100,000 years may mean eternity for an individual immortal cultivator, but for the entire Kyushu world, it is just a piece of history.

In such a long time, there will always be some pirates who will gradually grow and reproduce to continue the behavior of their ancestors, and finally one day, there is a pirate leader who thinks. Maybe it's time to try to put an end to the chaos that has been going on here for more than 100,000 or 200,000 years.

I have to say that this pirate leader is indeed quite capable. Since his ancestors chose the profession of pirate, he has continued to trade with various major sects in the Spirit Cold Spring. Finally, his vein obtained a relatively complete cultivation method and exercises, and even had a relatively powerful magic weapon in his hand.

It took generations for their ancestors to build their pirate gang into a well-trained and forbidden army, which looked like a hard-working army compared to the other pirates who were just rushing forward and often killing each other for uneven spoils.

In this era of pirate leader's rule, he actually persuaded several other relatively powerful pirate gangs to join forces to enter this sea area, and with his strong strength, the scattered cultivators who were struggling for a living in this sea area had to succumb and actually controlled this sea area. Subsequently, just like many empires that ended chaos and became unified, the original pirates were listed as marquises, and the pirate leader named Lu Hanyu also became the king here.

Lu Hanyu can really be described as a hero, as a casual cultivator, he actually has the cultivation of the Jindan period, which makes him proud of the original batch of pirates, if he does not have the cultivation of the Jindan period, he will not be able to dominate the chaos in this sea area.

After becoming the king here, Lu Hanyu divided the trench into many areas, and his subordinates and the pirates who joined later were each given an area, and if the cultivators wanted to enter this area to collect the Spirit Cold Spring, they had to get the permission of the managers of each area.

Since the Linghan Spring was completely controlled by Lu Hanyu and his subordinates, the price of the Linghan Spring also soared for a while, and the result of the monopoly made the interests of all the pirates increase greatly, and everyone was tightly united around Lu Hanyu.

This situation, of course, has attracted the dissatisfaction of the various sects, they need to spend three times or five times or even more to obtain the Spirit Cold Spring, but the Inquisition is limited to no form of fighting within the sea area of a hundred miles here, and they can only put pressure on the Inquisition, hoping to change the status quo.

The court was also dissatisfied with Lu Hanyu's behavior, but the situation was already difficult to control, and the rules of the court were the rules of the Kyushu world, which obviously could not be changed at will. Moreover, the pirates led by Lu Hanyu were far more familiar with the situation here than any other sect, and their survival for more than 100,000 or 200,000 years also made them more suitable for life in the sea than any other immortal cultivator. Some people even believe that these pirates have already evolved fish-like gills that can breathe in water, and even the most powerful immortal cultivators can't do that.

After more than 100 years of tug-of-war, the final inquisition successfully negotiated with Lu Hanyu, who had successfully transformed into a baby and entered the Yuan infant period. They agreed on the price of a cold spring in exchange for the new protection of the sea by the Inquisition.

From its discovery to the day the negotiations were successful 30,000 years ago, there have been more than 200,000 years of disputes over this place. Finally, a relatively satisfactory result was obtained, and a more stable situation was also obtained.

Lu Hanyu was even more mature after that. He has cultivated the primordial god and reached the stage of transforming into a god, and under his rule, this place is like an independent kingdom and orderly.

Lu Hanyu and his subordinates have become the guardians here, and all the springs of the Linghan Spring have become their private property, but their manpower is obviously not enough to collect all the Linghan Springs here, so. The solicitation of loose cultivators completely established Lu Hanyu's domination of this sea area.

If you want to collect the Linghan Spring here, you can register it in the register, and after completing a certain amount of Linghan Spring collection, you can obtain the Linghan Spring collection qualification for a certain period of time. To put it bluntly, it is to serve Lu Hanyu for a period of time, and according to how much he contributes, he will get a reward for collecting it by himself for a certain period of time. And if you have the heart to join, you will become Lu Hanyu's subordinates, that is, the guardians here. Receiving cultivation resources on a monthly basis to enjoy almost the same treatment as disciples of other sects, you can also sign a contract to collect a sufficient amount of Linghan Spring. Lu Hanyu and his subordinates would give him a certain amount of time to secure his cultivation resources and help him build his foundation. If you succeed in building the foundation within the time limit, you can join the ranks of the Guardians. And if it fails, it doesn't matter, either choose to receive some spirit stones and leave, or choose to continue to sign a contract and collect the specified amount of spirit cold spring again, so as to get the time and opportunity to build the foundation next time.

Under this pattern, although not all casual cultivators are willing to risk their lives to come here to collect the Spiritual Cold Spring. But after all, there will be a large number of casual cultivators who are willing to take risks. After all, as long as it succeeds. What you get here is much greater than what you can get elsewhere.

Lu Hanyu brought long-term peace and stability to this sea area and brought an extremely stable situation. But he himself, in the end, failed to return to the void, and when he was more than 1,500 years old, he could not escape the arrival of his lifespan, and became a handful of sinking sand at the bottom of the sea.

Lu Hanyu died, but his kingdom was preserved, and the rules he had made at the beginning were also retained.

It's just that after 30,000 long years, the original perfect rules are now full of holes, Lu Hanyu's descendants have no longer the hard work of their ancestors, just like every dynasty is bound to decline, the descendants of those pirates who were originally feudal in the territory are also floating in their minds, each with their own plans, here is still a piece of iron in name, but in fact, it has fallen apart, just barely running the original rules, even in many details, those rules have existed in name only.

However, there has always been a superficial calm here, but those guardians can no longer stop the chaos under their banners, although the various sects abide by the rules of the Inquisition and cannot snatch the Linghan Spring here, but this has also become a place where many sects choose to give their disciples a trial.

Of course, the premise is to erase all the marks related to the sect on their bodies and enter in the name of casual cultivation, and for this phenomenon, the Inquisition is also turning a blind eye, and they also realize that the situation that Lu Hanyu created at the beginning has been dilapidated and crumbling. Once the last fig leaf is torn off, the chaos will return to the place where it was before, and instead of letting the cultivators kill people for a small bottle of Spiritual Cold Spring again, it is better to let these vampire-like guardians continue to maintain a semblance of stability. And the outstretched hands of various parties here can also protect the "stability" situation here from being broken to a certain extent.

As for now, it is difficult for the cultivators to get the real cultivation resources from those guardians, and they have essentially become slaves of the guardians, collecting spiritual cold springs for them here day after day.

"In that case, why are there any casual cultivators who are willing to come here to sign a contract to collect the Spirit Cold Spring?" Chen Yuanliang was puzzled after hearing this.

Qian Ji shook his head and was silent, and Fan Dongliu sighed and said, "We can know about these situations, but the loose cultivators may not know. Alas......"

Chen Yuanliang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hu Tongfang and Qian Ji with a look of disbelief, as if he understood something. (To be continued)
