Chapter 1458: A Horse Off the Reins (IV)
“Skyward...” Zu An laughed. “The region in front of us is usually hailed as Skyward Region. It is said that the master of Skyward ascended to ninth rank many years ago. He was unfathomably strong and dominated the chaos!
“But... those are just legends. Something apparently happened later on and the master of Skyward left with his people. He might have taken the dao universe with him as well, or it might have fallen silent. Only the world was left behind.
“It is a major world, after all, and very strong in itself. Many chaos wanderers set down roots here and treat it as a place of shelter within the chaos. Gradually, more and more wanderers settled down on Skyward!
“Some made it their home, some treat it as a watering hole—a place of exchange or a marketplace. It’s turned into a general square for cultivators!
“Skyward is a treasure trove for chaos wanderers now. There are also many powerhouses of broken worlds or weaklings gathered here... Not all denizens of a world die when their home is conquered or devoured. There are always survivors, and they must choose a new residence.
“Take the destruction of Elysian Fields and Utmost Dark this time, for example. Someone will surely have made it out. Their top choice for resettlement will be Skyward!” Zu An continued. “Many worlds have fallen in Red Moon Region the past couple of years. A portion of those who survived will have fled far and wide...”
“I see, so Skyward major world is the oasis for wanderers,” Li Hao summarized. “There’s no one in charge there, right?”
“That’s right, so that makes the area very disorderly! Nearby powerhouses will also visit. If they’re good-natured, they’ll take a look around and engage in a few transactions. If they’re not... they’ll just rob and take whatever they want. That’s also a common occurrence!
“Who would dare be so impudent in a regular major world with a master of seventh rank at the helm? Even visiting seventh rank exalted emperors wouldn’t dare kick up a fuss because they would be in unfamiliar territory. None of those concerns exist for Skyward, however. It’s complete pandemonium!”
Li Hao nodded, having obtained a general understanding of the situation. The territory of chaos wanderers lay up ahead with no central authority administering it. There would be quite a bit of danger.
“Is there no one who wants to devour Skyward?” A new question struck the young man. “According to what fellow daoist says, this major world was where a ninth rank exalted emperor once resided. He might be dead now, or gone at the very least. Why hasn’t anyone taken it?”
Wasn’t this a much more tempting target than a minor world?
