"There are many other powerful spirits besides them!"
Xuanzhenzi added.
"This..."
Li Yunjing was rather surprised. He asked, "Are we just going to watch them grow stronger and stronger?"
"Heh!"
Xuanzhenzi sneered. "This is the territory of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect. No living creature can shake our hold on it! Their existence helps stabilize the secret realm."
"For example, those million Tree Demons. How much Yi Wood essence can they produce?"
Seeing that Li Yunjing was confused, Xuanzhenzi explained further. "These are tangible benefits! It's precisely because of these native creatures that the space within the Divine Firmament Secret Realm has become more and more stable!"
"Aren't you worried they'll take over?"
Li Yunjing was still a little concerned.
"The entire space is in our hands!"
Xuanzhenzi smiled. "If the sect abandoned this place, we could detonate the entire Divine Firmament Secret Realm in an instant. All these spirits would be torn apart by the power of space and perish completely!"
"I see!"
Only then did Li Yunjing feel somewhat reassured.
"We reached an agreement with these spirits long ago!"
Xuanzhenzi continued, "We coexist peacefully under normal circumstances. If a member of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect enters, they must not kill them. If our sect needs their help, they'll be granted the right to leave the secret realm once they've helped us!"
"Oh! So this place is a treasure trove for us..."
Li Yunjing suddenly understood. "But for these spirits, it's a prison?"
"That's more or less the idea!"
Xuanzhenzi nodded with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Xuanzhenzi swept his sleeve, and a Jade Slip flew into Li Yunjing's hand.
"This Jade Slip contains the exact locations of thirty-six resource sites in the secret realm, as well as the territories of the various spirit factions."
Xuanzhenzi reminded
