Clan Building System: I'm not the Protagonist?!

Chapter 449. Divine Land.

Fang Yuan looked at the five Spirit Seeds resting quietly in his palm.After a long moment of silence, Fang Yuan finally turned toward Lin Zhaoyue.

"My love... what exactly is a Divine Land?"

Lin Zhaoyue smiled faintly.

"A Divine Land is a region nurtured by a Divine Grade Spirit Vein. Wherever a Divine Grade Spirit Vein exists, the surrounding land naturally becomes a Divine Land."

She paused briefly before continuing.

"However, that is only the simplest explanation."

Her gaze slowly drifted toward the distant sky.

"A Divine Land earns its name because it can conceal itself from the Heavenly Will."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Hide from the Heavenly Will? What purpose does that even serve?"

Lin Zhaoyue simply smiled.

"You’ll understand when the time comes."

She allowed the silence to linger for several moments before gently changing the topic.

"The Higher Realm is far larger than you can currently imagine."

She gently pointed toward the distant horizon.

"The entire Higher Realm is divided into Five Continents and Nine Heavens. We’re currently standing within the Eastern Continent."

She slowly raised another finger.

"To the north lies the Northern Continent. That continent is primarily inhabited by barbarians and spirit beasts.

They live together in harmony. Of course, they still hunt one another from time to time like their lives depended on it."

Fang Yuan quietly stared at her.

Something about that explanation felt incredibly strange.

Living together in harmony... while hunting each other from time to time?

He silently decided not to question it.

There were probably customs in the Higher Realm that he simply did not understand yet.

Lin Zhaoyue continued speaking.

"To the west lies the Western Continent. That place is famous for its incredible abundance of natural resources. Naturally it also serves as the gathering place for countless merchants and pirates."

A thoughtful look gradually appeared on her face.

"We should definitely visit the Western Continent in the future."

She looked directly at Fang Yuan.

"We should definitely establish a teleportation point there and create our own merchant organization."

Her eyes gradually brightened.

"I’ll have you know that cultivators capable of establishing stable teleportation formations are extremely rare.

With your understanding of the Dao of Space, you possess an advantage that countless great sects would envy.

If we make proper use of it, our Fang Family’s influence could spread across the entire Higher Realm."

Only after saying that did she point toward the land beneath their feet.

"As for the Eastern Continent, like I said before, this is where we are currently standing."

She casually gestured toward the endless mountain ranges surrounding them.

"The Eastern Continent is controlled entirely by sects. There are six Rank Two Sects that joined forces long ago. Together, they maintain a delicate balance while jointly ruling the entire Eastern Continent."

"There are countless smaller sects, clans, and kingdoms that survive beneath their influence. Even the Flying Crane Sect is merely one of those smaller sects."

Fang Yuan quietly nodded.

Lin Zhaoyue continued her explanation.

"The Southern Continent, on the other hand, it’s different.

It is almost completely uninhabited by humans and is instead ruled by countless spirit beasts. The danger there is beyond imagination, but so are the opportunities.

Many cultivators venture there to hunt spirit beasts, gather rare herbs, discover ancient treasures, and temper themselves through constant battles. It is one of the most dangerous places in the entire Higher Realm.

Lastly, there is the Central Continent. It is the strongest continent in the higher realm."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Wait. You haven’t even explained the Nine Heavens yet. Shouldn’t heavens be better? You know, mortal, Earth, heaven and then divine.. so why is the Central Continent considered the strongest place?"

Lin Zhaoyue blinked before lightly tapping her forehead.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about that."

She smiled sheepishly before naturally slipping her hand into Fang Yuan’s.

"The Nine Heavens are actually separate worlds. They are simply grotto-heavens left behind by deceased Great Emperors. Each one contains the lifetime inheritance of its former master.

Normally, nobody can enter them. Only when the entrances naturally open at certain intervals do cultivators gain the opportunity to step inside.

Every time that happens, the entire Higher Realm fights over the opportunity. After all, the inheritance of a Great Emperor is priceless."

Fang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"So the Nine Heavens aren’t actually continents."

Lin Zhaoyue happily squeezed his hand.

"Exactly, my love, they exist above the Five Continents, but they remain isolated most of the time. They only reveal themselves when the opportunity arrives."

She then pointed toward the distant horizon.

"That is why the Central Continent is considered the strongest. It possesses the only Rank One Sect in the entire Higher Realm. It also contains three Medium Grade Divine Lands."

She raised three slender fingers before smiling.

"The Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern Continents each possess only one Divine Land. The Central Continent alone has three.The difference between them is naturally enormous."

Her gaze then drifted toward the five Spirit Seeds resting inside Fang Yuan’s hand.

A proud smile slowly appeared across her face.

"My love... Do you now understand how precious those five Spirit Seeds truly are now? Once they mature, they’ll become five Peak Heaven Grade Spirit Veins.

If we plant them together, our Fang Family will possess a foundation comparable to a Low Grade Divine Land."

She suddenly wrapped both arms around one of Fang Yuan’s and leaned against him with an expression full of satisfaction.

"With these, our family will finally have a place to stand among the great powers of the Higher Realm."

Fang Yuan quietly swallowed.

His gaze remained fixed upon the five Spirit Seeds resting inside his palm.

A single thought slowly surfaced within his mind.

Am I truly strong enough to protect treasures like these?

In the cultivation world, possessing a priceless treasure without the strength to protect it was often treated as a crime.

The punishment for that crime was death.

As the thought lingered within his heart, a voice suddenly drifted through the air.

"How on earth did you even get something like that?"
