Chapter 198: Dream

This time, as Elder Xu traveled the world, he was always pondering one question: why had the noble families of Longzhou become so arrogant, while those of Yuanzhou had not?

Moreover, from his recent observations, the average level of martial artists in Yuanzhou was noticeably higher than that of Longzhou's. This discrepancy was not likely due to differences in people's natural abilities, but rather, was primarily affected by the chosen sacred grounds.

Martial Saint Mountain was a revered sacred place removed from worldly concerns. Even though it was located in Longzhou, no matter what transformations Longzhou underwent, they would remain largely indifferent. Even if wars broke out and the people suffered, given the martial mania of those on Martial Saint Mountain, as long as they weren't provoked, they would turn a blind eye and deaf ear to everything.
