Li Baxian had anticipated that they might not be able to hold onto the Spirit Land.
This was commonplace on the Cloud River Battlefield. Many Spirit Lands had changed hands time and again. Only those large Spirit Lands with greater numbers could maintain their detached status on the Cloud River Battlefield, passing it down from generation to generation.
"What does Junior Brother plan to do?" he asked.
"Two options." Lu Ye raised two fingers. "We collect the Spring Spirit now and flee back to the Nine Provinces. After returning from the Cloud River Battlefield to the Nine Provinces, we have to wait a month before entering the Cloud River Battlefield again. If we leave earlier, we can come back earlier too."
Li Baxian laughed. Lu Ye's words gave him the feeling of dying early to be reincarnated early.
"Or we don't return to the Nine Provinces and begin relocating now, moving to a more secluded place. But either way, the Spirit Land we end up with will only be a Grade B Spiritual Land."
Each time the Spring Spirit was taken back, it fell by one grade. Grade A and Grade B were separated by only one grade, but the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within their Spirit Lands was worlds apart.
