Chapter 198 Yun Yun's Question
Faced with Yun Yun's questioning, Xiao Feng did not refute it, but frankly admitted the matter: "That's right, this is indeed my idea. Although I have my own selfish motives in this matter, it is undeniable that this matter is beneficial to Sect Master Yun Yun."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Yun Yun was speechless. She had to admit that what Xiao Feng said was indeed true. At the Dou Huang realm, breaking through even one level was extremely difficult, and the resources required could be enough to train hundreds or even thousands of sect disciples.
Under these circumstances, the cultivation resources she receives daily are naturally greatly reduced. After all, she has already broken through to the Dou Huang realm, which is enough for the Yunlan Sect at present. The Yunlan Sect doesn't have the courage to pour all its resources into nurturing Yun Yun, someone whose future is unpredictable. It's better to use those resources to cultivate the sect's younger generation.
After all, in the path of cultivation, having enough resources does not guarantee a breakthrough. Just look at Yun Shan, who has been stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang realm for decades without breaking through. I wonder if he will ever live to see that day!
However, it was also something she couldn't bring herself to ask Yun Yun to leave Yunlan Sect and go out to explore with Xiao Feng, someone she had just met!
With a long sigh, Yun Yun looked at Xiao Feng again, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Young Master Xiao Feng, this matter is of great importance, please allow me to think it over carefully."
"It's alright, it's alright. Just as Sect Master Yunyun said, this matter is of great importance and must be handled with caution. We need to think it over carefully!" Xiao Feng did not rush Yunyun to make a decision, allowing her to consider it again and again. Yunyun was puzzled once again by his unusual behavior.
She could tell that Xiao Feng's goal was her; he wanted to take her away from here. But if that were the case, he should be continuing to persuade her to leave while the iron was hot, instead of advising her to think twice, as if he didn't care whether she left or not. This contradictory behavior puzzled her greatly.
Of course, she didn't know Xiao Feng very well, so it was normal for her to have such doubts.
Yes, Xiao Feng wanted to take Yun Yun away from here, but he hoped that Yun Yun would leave with him willingly, rather than him using words to bewitch her or even forcing her to leave with him. If that were the case, it would go against his original intention.
"Young Master Xiao Feng, could you tell me what the outside world is like?" After hesitating for a long time, Yun Yun finally mustered up the courage to ask these questions.
Perhaps because of this simple conversation, Yun Yun's view of Xiao Feng was no longer as one-sided or extreme as before.
Yun Yun's description of "the outside world" makes it seem as if she is currently in a small and closed world, but this description is very apt.
For Xiao Feng, the Jia Ma Empire could truly be considered a remote and isolated place. Not to mention others, there were several people in the Jia Ma Empire who had reached the Dou Huang realm, but which of them had ever left the Jia Ma Empire to go to a more distant place?
Almost none! They only linger within the Gama Empire and the three nearby empires. As for anything further away, it's as if there's some man-eating beast, and they dare not take another step. Therefore, other places are truly mysterious and unknown to them.
Although Yun Yun didn't know where Xiao Feng came from, she was certain that he was not from the Jia Ma Empire or any of the neighboring empires. While the other neighboring empires might be stronger than the Jia Ma Empire, they wouldn't be able to make a Dou Zong a servant. That's why Yun Yun was convinced that Xiao Feng came from somewhere else, from a place she didn't know.
That's why she wanted Xiao Feng to tell her about the outside world.
Xiao Feng was just worried that he and Yun Yun didn't have much to talk about, so he naturally wouldn't refuse her question. However, Yun Yun's question was too general, and it wouldn't be something that could be answered in a short time.
Turning around to face Yun Yun, looking at her delicate and pretty face, Xiao Feng cleared his throat and slowly said, "Alright, then I will tell you about the outside world."
"But before that, let me ask you a question: do you know just how vast this land beneath your feet—the Dou Qi Continent—is?"
Faced with Xiao Feng's question, Yun Yun thought for a moment and then replied, "I really don't know. As far as I'm concerned, I only know that the Dou Qi Continent is very large, but I don't know exactly how large it is, since I have never seen it with my own eyes or experienced it firsthand."
After hearing Yun Yun's answer, Xiao Feng slowly said, "Actually, I don't know the answer to this question either. How vast is the Dou Qi Continent? I believe even the strongest people on the Dou Qi Continent might not know the answer. The Dou Qi Continent is just too big, too big. It's so vast that almost no one can traverse the entire continent, and so vast that almost no one can witness it all firsthand. If anyone knows the answer to this question, it would only be the Dou Di powerhouses from tens of thousands of years ago!"
"Perhaps you are very puzzled at this moment. If even the strongest experts on the continent do not know how vast the Dou Qi Continent is, then why am I asking you this question?"
Indeed, just as Xiao Feng said, but when Yun Yun heard Xiao Feng's words, she knew that there was something more to them. She abandoned her previous shyness and listened carefully to Xiao Feng.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Although no one knows exactly how vast the Dou Qi Continent is, some ancient sages have divided this vast Dou Qi Continent into several regions. In this way, we can better understand various information and give people a basic understanding of the Dou Qi Continent."
"The Dou Qi Continent is divided into five regions: the Central Region, the Eastern Region, the Western Region, the Northern Region, and the Southern Region. The Central Region is the very center of the Dou Qi Continent, a place everyone dreams of, a 'holy land' in the hearts of all cultivators!"
