1322. Vagona City

Noah had to explore multiple wild regions during his voyage toward Vagona city. Magical beasts occupied many large lands even if the area belonged to the humans, and Noah preferred to travel through them rather than risking encountering members of the Crystal City.

The Immortal Lands weren't free of the curse of the magical beasts. Those creatures were too resilient and advantaged in the cultivation journey. Even areas inhabited by mighty rank 8 cultivators couldn't avoid them.

Through Bertha's explanation, Noah had understood that the human area was nothing more than a series of cities filled with danger zones. Those settlements would have large safe environments around their borders, but no amount of clearing operations could prevent the arrival of magical beasts in their domain.

The "Breath" was to blame for that outcome. That miraculous energy favored simpler living beings, which gave birth to a constant stream of magical beasts and plants.
