Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang finally understood why there were so many demon beasts here with him.

The people guarding the far side of the moon had all gone out hunting, so some of the demon beasts took advantage of the chaos and entered Jieyue Tower. The demon beasts he had just killed probably took advantage of this opportunity to enter the tower.

”Hunting days?” Su Yang asked in surprise, ”The Defenders have to go hunting? What are they hunting?”

The Martial Champion smiled and said softly, ”These demon beasts are a life-and-death threat to the Nine Realms. At the same time, they also present an opportunity for the Nine Realms!”

”Opportunity?” Su Yang was even more puzzled. How could this be considered an opportunity?

”The so-called hunting is the Defenders going out to hunt these demon beasts on their own initiative. In the life-and-death struggle with the demon beasts, they improve their strength and can also search for some rare materials in the hunting grounds to refine elixir pills and magic artifacts!” The Martial Champion looked at the starry sky and said softly, ”In the endless starry sky, there is indeed endless wealth. The further you go, the more rare materials you will find. Of course, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes. The first Martial God never returned when he ventured deep into the starry sky!”

Su Yang finally understood what hunting days meant.

He looked up at the starry sky, wondering how many secrets were hidden within this endless expanse. How small were the Nine Realms in the vastness of the endless starry sky?

The Martial Champion gave Su Yang a glance and said softly, ”Su Alliance Leader, your strength has greatly improved. However, there is still some distance before you can defend Jieyue Tower. Today’s battle was meant to show you just how cruel the endless starry sky truly is. I also want to tell you something. If possible, and if you want to continue to improve your strength, perhaps you could try training in the endless starry sky!”

”Training in the endless starry sky?” Su Yang was stunned.

”Few people in the Human World have done this, but in the other Eight Realms, many people do such things!” The Martial Champion said, ”Nowadays, among the Sub-Saints of the Eight Realms, which one hasn’t emerged from the endless starry sky alive? Solely relying on the current resources of the Nine Realms, it’s impossible for anyone to reach the Saint Realm. Moreover, without undergoing a life-and-death battle, it is very difficult to break through once your cultivation reaches a certain level. The endless starry sky is the best training ground for someone of your current strength!”

Su Yang’s heart stirred, thinking that if this were really possible, it would be wonderful. Perhaps he could take Beigong War God and the others, along with the three Crystal Skulls, to train in the endless starry sky!

After thinking for a while, Su Yang suddenly remembered something and curiously asked, ”By the way, Elder Zhang, those fierce beasts just now, I noticed, are really not much different from the divine beasts of the Human World. But why do I feel that these fierce beasts are so weak in combat?”

In fact, Su Yang had always wanted to ask someone about this matter. Because, in the Rongshi Furnace Valley, those demon beasts were actually similar to the divine beasts of the Human World, but their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Human World divine beasts.

One must know that the divine beasts of the Human World can seal boundary points!

”Fierce beasts are just fierce beasts, not divine beasts,” the Martial Champion said. ”To become a divine beast, talent is only a part of it. It’s the true training afterward that’s most important. A dragon bears nine offspring, but not all nine are divine beasts. If even one of the nine becomes a divine beast, that’s considered great fortune. Therefore, having the stature of a divine beast requires having the essence of a divine beast to truly become one. Mere form without the essence can only be considered a demon beast, or at best, a beast; it doesn’t deserve the divine label at all!”

Su Yang suddenly realized, perhaps this was the reason for the demon beasts in Rongshi Furnace Valley as well.

At this time, a horn sound came from the endless starry sky. The Martial Champion smiled lightly and turned, saying, ”Alright, the hunting has concluded perfectly.”

Su Yang looked towards the direction of the endless starry sky, thinking that once the arrangements for the Eight Realms entering the Human World were settled, he would consider taking Beigong War God and the others hunting in the endless starry sky.

”Su Alliance Leader, I know your heart is with the Human World, after all, you were born there, it’s only natural.” The Martial Champion said softly, ”However, I still want to advise you: if Jieyue Tower cannot be protected, the Nine Realms will be doomed, simply protecting the Human World will be of little significance!”

Su Yang was silent for a moment, then said softly, ”Elder Zhang, this is something you should say to those in the Eight Realms, not to me. I am a member of the Human Clan, I don’t have such lofty ambitions; I can only devote myself to protecting the Human Clan. If the Human Clan is gone, even keeping the Nine Realms intact means nothing to me.”

The Martial Champion sighed gently and said softly, ”Who in the Nine Realms isn’t selfish? If it weren’t for these people, selflessly guarding Outer Heaven at all costs, the Nine Realms would have been annihilated long ago. Alas, the human heart is like this; who can change it?”

”Do the Saints know about the situation in Outer Heaven?” Su Yang asked.

The Martial Champion nodded, and Su Yang frowned, ”Since the Saints know about the situation in Outer Heaven, they are the ones who should stand up and change the situation of the Nine Realms. The Nine Realms revere Saints, not to mention having the Saints stationed in Outer Heaven; at the very least, the Saints should establish rules for the Nine Realms and not simply watch the internal conflicts unfold!”

”The thoughts of Saints are different from ordinary people,” the Martial Champion shook his head. ”You will never understand what they are thinking until you become a Saint. Or rather, until your strength reaches a certain realm, you cannot understand the circumstances of that realm. Just like now, the life and death of ordinary martial artists, compared to the grand scheme of the entire Human World, which is more important?”

Su Yang did not speak, but in his heart, he was very clear that this decision was easy to make. The life and death of ordinary martial artists were certainly far less important than the larger situation of the entire Human World.

”Likewise, reaching the realm of Saints, looking at those below them, even Land Immortals or Sub-Saints become insignificant!” the Martial Champion said softly. ”Perhaps in the eyes of the Saints, the resources of the Nine Realms are too few, yet the people too many; this is not good for the Nine Realms at all. So the best result is to have the Nine Realms undergo natural competition, leaving the strong while eliminating the weak, redistributing the resources of the weak to the strong, thus concentrating the resources of the Nine Realms in the hands of the strong, enhancing the overall strength of the Nine Realms. Only this way can the Nine Realms truly be defended. Rather than current practices where all Nine Realms develop together, leading to resource dispersal that cannot produce a strong enough force to counter the threats from the starry sky, causing the Nine Realms to slowly head towards annihilation!”

Su Yang fell into silence. These words from the Martial Champion had previously been suggested to him in an obscure way. However, Su Yang had not considered these matters deeply before.

Now, hearing the Martial Champion speak, he couldn’t help but start pondering.

Which perspective is the correct one?
