Of the Divine Continent's five great regions, the Eastern Isles had the fewest Teleportation Arrays.
As far back as the Primordial Era, islands here had been scattered like stars across the sky and pieces across a chessboard. Even the largest, "East Sea Island," spanned only eighty thousand li, while the smallest measured merely a few hundred li across, making it difficult for them to serve as the ancestral seat of a great sect.
As a result, compared with the Cultivation World as a whole, the sects of the Eastern Isles were relatively weak. Resources were scarce, and they also had to contend with ocean Demon Beasts that appeared from time to time. Overall, conditions were only slightly better than those of the Northern Wasteland, the harshest region of all.
Of course, since the end of the Primordial Era, ocean Demon Beast attacks on the islands had declined considerably and were now exceedingly rare.
Yet for historical reasons, very few Teleportation Arrays had been built between the islands. Only first-rate sects with Nascent Soul Great Cultivators presiding over them would build one or two, and even those used spatial ores left over from ancient times.
Like the voidlight grass used to refine Storage Bags, ores with spatial properties were nurtured by heaven and earth and could not be cultivated by cultivators.
In the present-day Cultivation World, voidlight grass could still be found fairly often, but spatial ores were exceedingly scarce. Formation grandmasters capable of building Teleportation Arrays were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Traveling really is inconvenient without Teleportation Arrays...
Standing on his Flying Sword, Lin Mo swept over islands large and small, unable to keep from sighing inwardly.
The Eastern Isles really were far too poor.
