573 Soul-silencing Star (1/2)
The Void Map was actually a map of Star Areas. However, even though the Four Eastern Regions had a complete Void Map of the Infinite Star Sea, it was out of date.
It was inherited from antiquity times and therefore reflected the entire Infinite Star Sea, but of that time, and it sure had changed quite a bit.
But still, people in the Heaven Realm were not aware of those changes. In fact, their Void Map was quite different from the one in the hands of the five biggest sects.
”The Purple Scorpion Sea Area and the Milky Way Star Area had already occupied and exploited Infinite Star Sea!” said Zhou Bao, looking at the map and smiling bitterly.
The difference in power between the two Star Areas was very obvious just looking at the map.
The Milky Way Star Area was more centralized than the Purple Scorpion Sea Area. Many of the different powerful groups within the Milky Way Realm were far more powerful than those in Heaven Realm, but they were nothing compared to the Purple Scorpion Sea Area.
The Purple Scorpion Sea Area belonged to the Alliance of 13 Realms, and each realm contained many powerful groups. The continuous alliances and conflicts between those groups had brought Infinite Star Sea into a total mess.
None of that could be seen from the Void Map that the Seven-deity Regions had. Instead, according to the Void Map provided by Taoist Tian Zhao, the Infinite Star Sea belonged to someone.
If that Void Map was correct, then the east part of Infinite Star Sea would belong to the Alliance of 13 Realms in the Purple Scorpion Sea Area, while the west part would belong to the Milky Way Realm in the Milky Way Star Area.
Lastly, the center of Infinite Star Sea would be the biggest forbidden ground — the sealed land of the Primordial Demon.
Even though the Infinite Star Sea was divided into those main regions according to that map, they did not have total control over their whole land.
Infinite Star Sea was incredibly huge, and practitioners from the two main powers were all over Infinite Star Sea. However, unlike what people had believed, they could not control every inch of land. Within the huge Star Sea, there were still many forbidden grounds where ordinary practitioners could not enter.
Furthermore, many other powerful groups were also present in there, such as the Dark Sect. Besides, there were still some unexplored mysterious places where different spaces overlapped. They were empty and hollow.
The biggest forbidden ground in Infinite Star Sea, needless to say, was the land where the Primordial Demon which had been sealed. However, there were thousands of forbidden grounds, big and small, some of which were known to the practitioners of the two Star Areas, but some were a complete mystery to them. Schools of the two main areas, when needed, would send their competent subordinates to explore these grounds and try to discover the secrets there.
ome of the forbidden grounds had already been explored many times and the ones that were proved to be less dangerous were called small forbidden grounds. Some other forbidden grounds were used by powerful groups and schools to train their younger disciples. They could be explored and explorers managed to go back in the end, but always with some kind of injuries. Even practitioners in the Lord of Heaven Realm dared not go too deep inside. These places were called big forbidden grounds. The third kind of forbidden ground was called death place, where no one could come out alive, including the people in the Lord of Heaven Realm.
Soul-silencing Star was one of the big forbidden grounds.
Located in the southeast of Infinite Star Sea, this forbidden ground was controlled by Alliance of 13 Realms. However, since there was nothing valuable there, they had no interest in it.
The Soul-silencing Star might be worthless to the Alliance, but to Zhou Bao, it was not only the nearest big forbidden ground but also the most useful one.
That's because the Soul-silencing Star was famous for its toxicity.
