For the next two months during the last period of travel to reach the Mainland, the flying mountain did come in contact with many more pirate s.h.i.+ps that had the same intention as the first one. But in the end, not even one of them were successful.
Killing all the men and turning all the females into additions to his Futanari Army, Bai Long continued expanding the army step by step until finally there were eighteen Qi Monarchs, almost five hundred Qi n.o.bles, and more than two thousand Qi Childs.
Seeing such a force, even Qingling who was born and grew up in the Mainland had to admit that he had enough strength to establish a small force in the outskirts of the Mainland.
While this didn"t sound like much, being the one who controlled even a small force was a great honour in the Mainland which was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers at every step.
During these two months, Bai Long"s cultivation also further increased by five per cent while his women also experienced their own breakthroughs.
All three of the women had entered the Qi Monarch Realm with Linxin at the 4th Level, while Cao Ning and Zhenya were at the 1st Level of it.
Seeing their increase in strength Bai Long wasn"t much surprised, while Qingling began thinking that Bai Long most likely gave them some special cultivation techniques and it was due to them that they managed to increase their cultivation by so much in such a short time.
Still, Qingling didn"t ask them any questions because she honestly didn"t think much about anyone other than herself.
And those women increasing their strength had nothing to do herself.
Like this, the flying ice mountain finally reached so close to the Mainland that it was visible on the horizon from anywhere on the mountain.
"So that"s the Mainland?"
"Yup. See how endless it seems to be stretching? It feels the same way to those who live on the Mainland as well."
"What?"
"Hmmmm... How should I explain this?"
Thinking for a while, Qingling began explaining that statement of hers in a more understandable way.
"The Mainland is so big that despite the number of humans living on it, the generally accepted guess is that not even half of the entire Mainland has been inhabited."
"That"s why you"ll end up finding more forests than well-established forces and cities inside the Mainland."
"And in some of those forests there are some well-hidden tribes which don"t lose out to the strongest forces that exist on the Mainland."
Nodding his head in acknowledgement, Bai Long asked, "What"s the power structure like on the Mainland?"
"The power structure? If you mean something like five Empires, twenty Sects and so on, such a thing doesn"t exist on the Mainland."
"Due to its size and the number of forces on it, other than the particular forces which are considered as the strongest ones, you won"t find any group of the similar forces that represent the apex of power on the Mainland."
"With how big the Mainland is, it wouldn"t be surprising if you found a top grade force somewhere in a remote area either."
"That"s why, I suggest you don"t get into fights with strangers before you find out more about them. Or if you plan on doing something to someone, do it in a place where no one else sees what you do to them. And make sure that they won"t be able to escape."
Once again nodding his head, Bai Long began looking towards the huge chunk of land which was growing even bigger by every pa.s.sing second.
Soon, the flying mountain was no longer heading towards the Mainland because it had officially entered the borders of it.
And once they did, everyone along with Bai Long who was here for the first time ever couldn"t help but take in a deep breath and let out a blissful sigh.
Usually, the increase in the quality of Qi happened little by little as they went closer to the area which was rich with it. The same way that Bai Long could feel the increase in the quality and quant.i.ty of Qi through their journey from the Xiao Dao Continent to the Mainland.
That was why Bai Long until a while back could sense the quality and quant.i.ty of Qi finally reaching three times greater than on the Xiao Dao Continent.
But, once the flying mountain entered the Mainland"s invisible boundaries that very quality and quant.i.ty of Qi took a huge growth.
Increasing by more than three times of what he was sensing until now, Bai Long felt that if he stretched his hands he could capture the Qi around him with his bare hands.
In short, the quality and quant.i.ty of Qi in the around him was ten times of that in the Xiao Dao Continent.
"Feel that? This is just how good it feels in the outskirts. The deeper you enter the Mainland, the more substantial increase there is in the Qi."
"At the same time, the fight for land and resources is also much more intense once you reach the deeper zones."
No wonder Qingling said it was an honour to establish a small force in the outskirts. With obtaining access to such a great amount of Qi and all the resources and herbs which grew in such a Qi enriched environment, who wouldn"t want to obtain that?
"In which part of the Mainland is your Sect located at?"
"My Sect is one of the few thousand second grade forces and therefore it is situated in the inner region of the continent."
Speaking until here Qingling suddenly said, "You can stay in the core region as well if you want by purchasing land there. But if you plan on expanding this Futanari force, it is best if you start doing it from the outskirts before proceeding deeper."
"If not, I doubt if you"ll be able to own this army for even a single day before someone comes and s.n.a.t.c.hes it away."
