Chapter 31 Crossing the Monster Mountain Range
Chapter 31 Crossing the Monster Mountain Range
On a fine, sunny day, Karl quietly left Tianfeng County. Before leaving, after careful selection, Karl bestowed level nine aptitude upon some talented and virtuous individuals within his territory.
This treatment also extended to the family.
The source of family points is self-evident; there is no limit to the number of members, but only those with a strength of level three or above will receive points from Karl.
As for the territory's population, it has grown from over 20 million to more than 50 million in the past 50 years.
Based on the massive amount of data, Karl only selected one million of them. These one million people are now at least level five warriors, and most of them have even reached level six.
After all, as long as those million people didn't die within fifty years, each of them would enjoy a minimum 1% cultivation bonus, and some outstanding talents would receive the maximum bonus.
After all, the Wind Shadow Pavilion established by Karl only occupies a mere two or three thousand spots. These two or three thousand spots are used to select true geniuses, who are Karl's hope for advancement.
However, those who actually provide the points are the residents who were originally registered in the territory.
Crossing the Monster Mountain Range, Karl had seen many strange and wonderful monsters in the air.
Among low-level magical beasts, the most common are those that are relatively docile, and even after becoming magical beasts, they still don't show much improvement.
For example, rabbits, mice, and sparrows, some of which increase in size several times after becoming magical beasts, while intermediate magical beasts are much more powerful.
This corresponds to larger creatures such as dogs, wolves, and leopards. These magical beasts generally possess the strength to threaten level four to six after reaching adulthood.
As Karl approached the core of the Monster Mountain Range, the weakened mid-level monsters became increasingly rare, and those that could roam the edge of the core area were mostly strong-willed level six monsters.
Packs of wolves, starving leopards.
Advanced magical beasts correspond to human strength levels seven to nine. These magical beasts not only have higher bloodlines, but are also more bloodthirsty by nature. Some benevolent magical beasts, such as deer, even if they have high bloodlines, find it difficult to become advanced magical beasts.
Those who are not good at fighting will find it difficult to stand out from the Monster Mountain Range.
Among the level seven magical beasts Karl had seen, lions and tigers were the most common. These were the top predators in nature. But among the level eight and level nine magical beasts, apart from those with strong innate bloodlines, most of them had some dragon blood.
In Karl's eyes, there were many dinosaurs from his past life among the level eight magical beasts, while the level nine magical beasts were mostly dragons.
However, these dragons are not of pure blood; most of them are offspring of holy dragons and ordinary magical beasts.
Karl was extremely fast. The Monster Mountain Range was probably extremely difficult for anyone below the Holy Domain, especially the core area, where it could easily take a year or two to traverse with caution.
However, as long as one doesn't recklessly provoke the territory of the Holy Domain's magical beasts, they generally won't pay much attention to them.
With the profound power of the wind element, Karl's speed was already extremely fast. In just over half a day, Karl crossed the Monster Mountain Range from the Holy Alliance and arrived at the central area of the Yulan Continent.
"The O'Brien Empire, the Magnolia Empire."
Karl stared ahead; this was the route he would inevitably have to take after leaving the Monster Mountain Range.
The Yulan Empire and the O'Brien Empire are still quite far apart, but those are just the capitals of the two empires. In reality, their territories have completely intersected. It's just that they rarely fight each other because of the god-level powerhouses.
However, after thinking for a while, Karl finally decided to give up. After all, what he needed now was a good place to cultivate. If one of the Martial Gods or High Priests was a wind-type god-level expert, Karl would be willing to be a pawn for a while.
This isn't about becoming arrogant just because you have a cheat ability. After all, it will take Karl over two thousand years to become a god. Just because he can become a god in the future doesn't mean he can look down on god-level powerhouses now.
Moreover, even if I become a god two thousand years later, I will only be a lower god. Above that, there are middle gods and upper gods. Above upper gods, there are various powerful beings who have integrated profound mysteries. There are even Great Perfection experts standing at the pinnacle of gods. There are only a dozen or twenty such experts in the entire Panlong Universe across several eras.
However, the God of War is a lower-level fire god, and the High Priest is a lower-level life god. Their experience is of little use to Karl, just as his Wind Shadow Pavilion attracts more warriors with certain wind attributes.
Following in the footsteps of those who came before allows us to move forward faster and more steadily—that is the role of a teacher.
From the border of the empire all the way to the capital city of Crimson Flame, Karl exuded a mysterious aura. Some people with weak strength could only sense that the aura was inexplicable, while some people with discerning eyes knew that this person was not to be trifled with.
Upon arriving in Crimson Flame City, Karl stayed there for three days. This was the capital of the O'Brien Empire, where level seven was commonplace, and level six was practically nothing special.
"As expected of an empire." Karl looked somewhat surprised.
During these three days, Karl, relying on his Saint-level strength, traveled through many places in Crimson Flame City. To his surprise, he discovered that there were even Saint-level experts serving in the capital of the O'Brien Empire, which greatly astonished Karl.
Within the Holy Alliance, once one's strength reaches the Saint-level, one stands at the top. There are several kingdoms within the Holy Alliance, each with the shadow of the Saint-level behind them, but they are merely shadows, as they rarely appear. Even a level nine powerhouse might not see them even once in their lifetime. This results in the extremely high status of the Saint-level within the Holy Alliance, and possessing many Saint-level powerhouses allows one to exert dominance over the entire Holy Alliance.
Many regulations that comply with the Holy See are based on the Holy See's immense power, and individual holy domains would not oppose the Holy See for the sake of some restrictions.
However, the O'Brien Empire is different; it is home to martial gods.
"Perhaps these holy domains are disciples of the God of War."
Karl's mental strength was not very good to begin with. Even after the transformation to the Saint Realm, he was still weaker than an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator. However, Karl was able to buy Saint Realm upgrade cards for members of his territory and family, let alone for himself.
Carl himself has now undergone a complete transformation.
In terms of physical body, with the growth of physique, Karl naturally has a Saint-level physical body. In fact, in fifty years of cultivation, he can ignore the attacks of ordinary early Saint-level cultivators with his physical body.
Besides the improvement of his physical body, Karl has also reached the Saint-level in terms of fighting spirit talent, mental power talent, and wind elemental affinity by relying on multiple Saint-level upgrade cards.
Furthermore, after several of his talents reached the Saint-level, some of Karl's other talents also improved.
For example, comprehension, magical talent, etc., since a person's talent is essentially physical and mental.
