Chapter 468 Northern Wilderness
. . .
The northern wilderness is vast and boundless.
The east-west border spans 600,000 miles and borders Uttarakuru.
In the south, it borders dozens of dynasties including Da Zhou, Daliang, and Da Feng.
Two hundred thousand miles to the north is the sky border between the Shenwu world and the Moluo world.
It was all gray there, and I couldn't see the other side's world clearly.
There is only one crack in the sky that allows the two worlds to communicate with each other.
Perhaps the Lord of Heaven at that time did not want to completely isolate the two worlds and deliberately left a gap in the sky.
It’s just that there have been many cases in history of demons wreaking havoc on the human world and evil spirits causing chaos in the human world.
In later generations, powerful masters had to unite and build the Demon-Repelling Pass in the gap between the human world and the demon realm.
The Demon-Suppressing Pass was built in the gap between the human world and the demon world, as well as the Ghost Gate between the human world and the underworld, completely cutting off communication with other worlds.
In addition, powerful people from all sides stationed strong men to garrison these important border areas, and the guarding strong men were replaced every hundred years.
Basically, the garrison strongmen are composed of five transcendental, ten top and thirty first-class sects each sending out masters.
There are at least two masters in the Divine Tribulation Stage at each border checkpoint, and usually they are bigwigs from the five transcendent forces.
This century saw the rise of a great master of the Shaolin Zen sect and an old Taoist master from Mount Longhu.
The powerful Hedao masters are generally supplemented by masters from the five transcendent and ten top forces, and the powerful Tianren masters are supplemented by many first-class forces.
The remaining realms basically include those from all sects, and some of them also go there spontaneously.
Those important border towns are under strict defense.
But in fact, small-scale wars still often occur between the two worlds.
This kind of fighting is also allowed by the top leaders of both worlds, and it is considered a way to hone young and strong people.
In the center of the gap between the sky and the two worlds, there is a free battlefield thousands of miles in size, where both sides can fight freely and hone their Taoism and combat skills.
As long as they do not break through each other's city gates, they will not be killed by the powerful men of the other side.
Because of the existence of this free battlefield, there are occasional cases of demons hiding in the chaotic fighting crowd and sneaking into the world of Shenwu.
Of course, people from the Shenwu world can also take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the other side's world.
Relatively speaking, monks with lower cultivation bases would have a higher success rate in sneaking in.
A strong master moving forward in the chaotic battlefield is like a candlelight shining in the dark night, which is particularly conspicuous and will naturally be discovered by the opponent's powerful opponent.
The powerful people mentioned here are generally those who have achieved the state of harmony with the Tao.
The masters of divine tribulation stationed at the border would enter a state of seclusion and cultivation when they arrived there.
Unless there is a real war between the two worlds, they generally will not show up.
Lu Bei learned all of this when he talked with Zhuang Buyi last night.
Lu Bei controlled the sword light and traveled day and night, which took him three days.
Finally, they crossed the vast ocean and arrived above the boundless wasteland in the north of Da Zhou.
He stood on the clouds with his feet on a flying sword, gazing at the endless gray sky at the end of the horizon hundreds of thousands of miles away.
That is the location of the Demon-Rejecting Pass, and it is also guarded by two masters of divine tribulation.
Lu Bei stared for a long time, then looked away.
He looked down at the vast land beneath his feet again.
Although this vast wasteland is huge in area, it is actually sparsely populated, and the total population is estimated to be less than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The people living here are all nomadic peoples. They form tribal alliances, commonly known as barbarians.
The barbarians are weak nowadays, only slightly stronger than ordinary dynasties. But if anyone dares to underestimate them and covets to occupy their territory, they will probably face the wrath of the barbarians and witness their true strength.
As a special race with a long history, the barbarians are generally tall and strong. Even the women are usually over 1.8 meters tall, and the men are usually around 2 meters tall. It is conceivable how powerful the deterrent effect is when a group of such tall and mighty warriors charge on the battlefield.
This is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that the barbarians are said to have a special ability.
Each of them is born with a natural rune on their body.
Legend has it that each natural rune comes with a natural divine power from the ancient beast god.
Once unlocked, the beast's blood boils and its power becomes immense.
This is also the reason why the barbarian tribes have been able to safely occupy the vast territory of the Northern Wilderness for so many years.
No dynastic power dared to truly confront the barbarian warriors who had unlocked the Beast God Rune.
Once the barbarians are angered, they only need to send some vanguard warriors to unlock the Beast God Rune and then counterattack the capital of the other dynasty.
There have been several such cases in history.
Lu Bei looked down at the vast land beneath his feet, and many legends from the barbarians that Zhuang Buyi had mentioned flashed through his mind.
In the dream, Zhuang Buyi once said frankly that although the barbarians acted in a barbaric manner and had no etiquette, they were actually kind to others and had no intention of fighting or invading other dynastic forces.
If they once developed an aggressive consciousness and fully unlocked their divine power, I am afraid they would be able to occupy at least half of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
After a long talk with Zhuang Buyi all night, Lu Bei finally knew who the hidden overlord of Dongsheng Shenzhou was.
That is the low-key barbarian tribe.
Although it is low-key, we have to take it seriously.
Overlooking for a long time.
Lu Bei regained his composure and looked towards the center of the wasteland in the distance. The area with lush grasslands and dense tribes was the base camp of the barbarians.
Judging from the time, Jiang Nan should have arrived.
He and Zhang Yide had a three-year agreement to meet during the martial arts competition held by Zhang Yide's tribe.
At that time, Zhang Yide didn't say what he was going to do.
But Lu Bei guessed that he was probably just here to experience the style of the barbarians.
Then go and see the barbarian style.
Think about this.
Lu Bei controlled the sword light, swooped down, and fell like a meteor.

PS: Attached below is a rough sketch I drew myself, showing the approximate locations of the Four Worlds. The Four Worlds were once the domain of the Gods and Demons Continent. The Gods and Demons Continent is the origin of this universe and a planet, so it's a circle. Therefore, each world has borders. You'll understand if you look at the lower left and lower right corners. Don't be offended by my poor handwriting, brothers. It's been like this since I was a kid. I can't write well. I'm trying my best, but my hand won't listen. It keeps skewing to one side. And since I'm so unskilled, I always forget the words I write. Just bear with me, and you'll get a rough idea of the locations of the worlds.
