A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 485: Chapter 399: Golden Lotuses Born of the Earth

A week after Qi Ping’s new realm plan was announced, batch after batch of cultivators from the Star Sea Continent had flocked to the neighboring great realms around the Qingtian Realm.

This vast number of cultivators filled up the eight great realms surrounding the Qingtian Realm to the brim, even causing many cultivators from the Qingtian Realm to come out.

When the final number and list of these cultivators appeared before Qi Ping, he was taken aback by their enthusiasm.

Originally, he had estimated the scale and configuration to be around four or five great realms, but it directly surged to eight!

If it weren’t for Lin Yue managing capabilities and emergency measures being in place, with appropriate industrial and management models in the surrounding ten great realms, the chaos caused by this vast number of cultivators would have been enough to overwhelm Qi Ping.

However, amidst the excitement, an indescribable feeling rose in Qi Ping’s heart:

"Alas, what most cultivators wish for is nothing more than a stable life and a relatively fair advancement mechanism...."

In this respect, cultivators are not much different from ordinary people.

Having seen more cultivators and the myriad aspects of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Qi Ping realized that most cultivators are not as eager for cultivation as one might imagine, not willing to go to any lengths regardless of life or death, and that cultivation is but a way of life, much like earning spirit stones.

Although everyone hopes to have endless spirit stones and the cultivation strength to suppress everything, most people know their talents and abilities are limited.

For most people, a decent skill and job or good cultivation is enough; beyond work and cultivation, they’d rather indulge in pleasures.

Other than a few, no one regards cultivation as their permanent pursuit, just as no one treats work as an everlasting career; aside from the initial thrill and the pleasure of breakthroughs, most cultivation is monotonous and dull.

Most cultivators merely hope to live happier lives and find a fair environment.

But this is even more challenging in the Immortal Cultivation Realm than in the mundane world!

Because the Immortal Cultivation Realm is filled with lunatics far more than the mundane world; a demon cultivator or a tyrannical ruler can easily bring catastrophic disaster, and the chances of encountering such is very high.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, "cultivators" are a special kind of "spirit stone", and this trait ensures that the Immortal Cultivation Realm will never be peaceful, with far too many lunatics crazy for resources and spirit stones.

So, looking over the history of the Star Sea Continent and even the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is undoubtedly a history of devouring people, with large-scale massacres and regional extinctions being commonplace for this reason.

Only on rare occasions when a good ruler is encountered can the ordinary cultivators below have a chance to live in a relatively fair and stable environment, without needing to worry about threats from others and strong powers.

If not for the supervision of the Heavenly Dao and the leaps devised by the senior levels of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Immortal Cultivation Realm would have self-destructed countless times.

"Peace and stability, in history, are ultimately fleeting, and devouring and strife are the main themes..."

With this thought, Qi Ping couldn’t help but sigh softly.

As a member of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, even though he has now become the highest leader of the Star Sea Continent, he remains but a tiny speck of dust within it, always at risk of being devoured by those stronger beasts.

Think back to when so many Mahayana stage cultivators were on the Star Sea Continent, yet they ended up in today’s plight.

In this Immortal Cultivation Realm, where demon races, magic races, and various forces fight endlessly, it is not easy to establish a stable home, and for Qi Ping, it remains a distant goal.

In the past, he faced threats from other cultivators on the Star Sea Continent, and as an Earth Immortal, he had enough confidence to safeguard his foundation and build an unprecedented stable home without any issues.

With the deterrence of the Celestial Dragon Continent, no forces or worlds would risk offending the Celestial Dragon Continent to invade the spirit-poor and barren Star Sea Continent.

But now things are different.

Qi Ping, having become an unprecedented Earth Immortal, directly forced the top cultivators of the Celestial Dragon Continent to avoid risking the world’s backlash by slaying Qi Ping, and they even abandoned the "harvest" and "protection" of the Star Sea Continent, actively introducing the more terrifying than tumors Demon Race.

At this moment, the Star Sea Continent can only rely on itself to face this cruel Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Although Qi Ping now stands at the pinnacle of the Star Sea Continent, from this height he sees not the grandeur of ruling the Star Sea, but rather the overwhelming killing intent surging in, numerous far mightier existences standing before him, some even casting malicious glances.

Now there is no one above Qi Ping to provide shelter; all he can do is face the truly dark Immortal Cultivation Realm alone.

If those monsters standing beside him decide to attack, what awaits him is an apocalyptic level war!

He watches helplessly as all life on the Star Sea Continent, his family and friends, perish at his feet, something Qi Ping would never accept.

Moreover, the most troubling thing now is that the fame of the Star Sea Continent from ancient times was too great; all forces of the Immortal Cultivation Realm still retain the world coordinates of the Star Sea Continent, and any creature capable of crossing the chaotic sea can reach the place of the Star Sea Continent.
