Chapter 13: The Guanyu Continent.

On the next day, Feng Mingyue woke up as usual. She summoned the four maidservants to prepare warm water for her to bathe.

"Thank you so much, Miss, for saving our lives!" While managing Feng Mingyue's hair, Mei Li and Mei Hui did not forget to say thanks to their master. If it wasn't for Feng Mingyue who knew medical skills and helped them., they didn't know what the outcome would be.

Feng Mingyue rested her head on her palm, all while picking up the jewelry and examining it lazily one by one. After hearing this, she responded, "No big deal, you all are my people. Naturally, I will not let anything happen to you guys."

"Miss, you're really talented. Why don't you show yourself to the Hu Kingdom once again?" Mei Hui couldn't help but ask. The Second Young Miss was capable and smart, not to mention she knew medicine and poison, which was quite rare for people in the continent who could master two skills at the same time.

Feng Mingyue changed her posture by propping her chin on her hand and yawning. "Why hurry? It's not the time yet, let them have some more fun first."

After dressing up, Feng Mingyue had breakfast and went to practice martial arts as usual. She then went to the main hall, sitting on the master seat, and ordered Li Qin to bring the books that she bought last time.

Feng Mingyue opened each book to read one by one. After she felt bored reading those novels, she picked a book that related to the continent and started to read.

The continent that she lived in was called the Guanyu Continent, and it had four kingdoms in total, which were the Chu Kingdom, the Han Kingdom, the An Kingdom, and the Hu Kingdom.

The Chu Kingdom was the most powerful one among the four. This kingdom had strong military power and it was also their trumpet card, while the weakest one was the Hu Kingdom.

The people who lived on this continent could cultivate. They could become spiritual martial artists, as long as they could form a golden core on their own at the age of five. The spiritual martial artists were divided into seven ranks which were: beginner-ranking, intermediate-ranking, advanced-ranking, earth-ranking, moon-ranking, sky-ranking, and the most powerful one was the king-ranking.

However, not too many people could become king-ranking spiritual martial artists. They needed at least ten to twenty years to succeed but in most cases, no one had successfully become one of them yet.

Moreover, there were also pill masters who existed on the continent. Although the pill master didn't have any attack power, they did have defense powers.

They could use their spiritual energy to refine pills, as long as their pills' quality was excellent, and they could refine the rarest pills in the continent, then there might be a chance for them to have some connection with experts. Afterward, their life wouldn't be in a threatening situation, there might only be respect from others.

Every year, there would be the Four Kingdoms Tournament in an attempt to choose the leader of the continent. Without a doubt, in these past years, the Chu Kingdom always became the leader, which made it obvious that this kingdom was more powerful than the other three.

Besides the four kingdoms, there were also other sects located outside. The most powerful sect was the Heavenly Sect located on top of the Celestial Mountain. There were many other sects and clans on the Celestial Mountain, but their power wasn't as strong as the Heavenly Sect.

The continent also had many mountains, rivers, and forests. However, there were some forests and mountains that were extremely dangerous, with many demons and high-level beasts residing there.

Furthermore, there were also demons in the Guanyu Continent. Most of the demons were already in seclusion. However, there were still some demons who came out and made a ruckus in the human realm. They killed people and captured them to take over the human realm and gain their powers through some forbidden means.

Nevertheless, the human realm wasn't weak either. Every three years, there would be a war between demons and spiritual martial artists. Mostly, the participants were the members of the imperial clans, official clans, and some spiritual martial artists from each kingdom.

The war took place in Yin Shen City, this city appeared when the Guanyu Continent emerged and it was also the border between the human realm and the demon realm. The Yin Shen City was also shrouded with dark energy. Hence, as long as humans could defeat the demon king, all the demons in the demon realm would disappear along with the Yin Shen City.

It was a pity that during all these years since ancient times, the demon king had never appeared in person, so no one could defeat him. However, there was one time that he appeared, it was when one spiritual martial artist challenged him, yet in the end, that spiritual martial artist died tragically.

The demons and humans had different ways of cultivation but the ranking system was the same. The demon king was currently an intermediate sky-ranking demon. In recent years, the strongest martial artist in the human realm was only at the stage of a beginner moon-ranking.

It was visible to everyone for the reason that the demons insisted on making war. It was because they wanted to control the human realm.

Feng Mingyue checked the date of the Four Kingdoms Tournaments and the date of the war. Then, she evoked a faint smile. "From now on maybe everything will change."
