Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 347: Song Kingdom

Although Tang Xiao was eager to start a new life in the Canglan Realm, he wasn't in a rush to enter the realm without any clear information, so he patiently waited for Xiao Ai to scan everything.

Time goes by...

After waiting for several hours, Xiao Ai finally finished scanning the entire Canglan Realm. She asked Tang Xiao to take out his device before displaying all the information about the realm.

The Canglan Realm is almost the size of Earth. It has three massive main islands separated by dangerous seas with extreme and unpredictable weather, coupled with powerful beasts, making sea travel between them rare and difficult.

The inhabitants of the Canglan Realm only live on three main islands because the southernmost and northernmost areas are uninhabitable.

The northernmost area is filled with ice and snow, resembling the north pole and south pole on Earth. The southernmost area is filled with deserts, barren plains, and deadly volcanoes.

From the data Xiao Ai collected, many beasts inhabit the northernmost area, most of which are ice-type beasts. As for the southernmost area, many demons and demon beasts live there, but she couldn't determine their types and strengths.

Each island has the same power structure, with a major empire ruling over three kingdoms each, creating a total of three empires and nine kingdoms across the entire realm.

Each Empire holds ultimate control over military power and resources, while kingdoms administer local territories under their command. Since the islands are isolated, each develops independently, and most people never leave their own island.

Overall, the kingdom appears stable, but behind that stability lies ongoing conflict, political pressure, and constant struggle for greater power.

"Kingdoms, duh." Tang Yin massaged her forehead.

Xing Xing nodded slightly. "This realm is like Earth in ancient times, when many kingdoms existed."

"So, which island are we going to live on?" Tantai Lingyan asked.

Mu Yan pointed to the largest island. "I think it's that island, Aunt Lingyan."

"I'm not sure about that, Yan'er." Mu Qingge propped her chin on her hand, examining the three islands.

Sun Xiang agreed with Mu Qingge. "That island is the largest compared to the other two, and it's also much more densely populated. I'm sure the Empire there is the strongest among the others, so there should be many powerful cultivators living there."

Chu Lingxi, Zhao Qing, Yu Xiaoling, Jessica, Zhao Yuxian, Yao Yao, the Ran Twins, and Meng Xin chose not to express their opinions because they were still relatively new to the world of cultivation, so they felt they lacked the experience to give their opinions. Yi An and Ouyang Qing are also the same as them, mainly because they are ordinary humans and not cultivators.

The younger generations of the Sun and Zhang Clans, such as Sun Yang, Sun Yue, and others, also chose not to comment because they would not be able to go to the Canglan Realm without Tang Xiao. They left the decision in his hands, and they will follow him to live on one of the islands.

Tang Xiao himself was also confused about which island to choose as their home for the next few years. He looked at his grandfather and the others. "What do you all think?"

"Haha," Tang Huang scratched his head. "Xiao'er, I don't know anything about the situation in that realm, so I'll leave everything to you."

Zhang Fei and Mu Lin were also the same as Tang Huang. "You can choose a suitable island, and we will follow you there."

"How about we take a middle path and choose this island, Xiao'er?" Sun Qian asked, pointing to the second-largest island in the realm. "This island isn't as big as the first or as small as the third, so I think it's the best choice. However, this choice is just my opinion, as I don't know the situation there, and the decision is yours."

"What do you think, Xiao Ai?"

[Master, I can't clearly detect the situation on the three islands, but there are many cultivators at the Tyrant Level on the largest island, and there's a cultivator who has reached the Lower Saint Level there.]

Tang Xiao furrowed his brows. "That person should be the emperor or empress of that empire."

[I think so.]

"What about the other two islands?"

[Master, each island has one cultivator at that level. However, there aren't as many Tyrant-level cultivators on the smallest island as there are on the largest island. If you ask me to choose, I will choose the second largest island because the population strength is more balanced.]

"In that case, I will choose the second-largest island." Tang Xiao looked at the people. "You guys should stay here for now, and I will go to that island to check out the situation there. Once I have information about that island, I will look for a suitable place for us to settle, and I will take you all there after finding it."

"I'll come with you, Husband," Tang Yin said.

Xing Xing also wanted to go to the island, but she decided against it and instead waited inside the Primordial Divine Ark.

Tantai Lingyan thought for a moment. "I'll come with you too, Xiao'er."

"Me too." Mu Qingge turned to her daughter. "I know you can't wait to go there, but you have to wait here, Yan'er."

"I know, Mom." Mu Yan nodded.

"I-"

"You stay here, Xiang'er." Zhang Xingcai directly interrupted Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang glared at her mother hatefully, but Tang Xiao immediately spoke to her. "Your mother is right, Xiang. You should stay here for now and wait for us to return to inspect the island."

"Okay." Zhang Xingcai's brows wrinkled as Sun Xiang listened to Tang Xiao more than her.

After they finished discussing, Tang Xiao enveloped the three women with his void element before bringing them into the void.

Since they still had to wait, Xing Xing and the other cultivators went straight to the training ground to train.

"Xiang'er." Sun Xiang ignored Zhang Xingcai's call and joined the others directly.

Sun Qian sighed softly and patted Zhang Xingcai's shoulder. "Xingcai, you should stop forcing your principles on Xiang'er because you two are different."

"But Father—"

"Are you willing to follow my words if I ask you to walk a path that is not suitable for you?" Zhang Xingcai shook her head at Sun Qian. "See? Doesn't that mean you're selfish? You're not willing to follow my words if I force you, but you keep forcing Xiang'er to follow your words. She is your daughter and not your property, and she has her own will, so you should respect that. If you keep forcing her to walk your path, she will continue to be angry with you, and you might lose her one day."

After saying that, Sun Qian immediately walked away, followed by Zhang Fei and Chen Xinyan. They were Zhang Xingcai's parents, but they were too tired to advise her about Sun Xiang because she was never willing to listen to them.

Zhang Xingcai stood at her spot for a while before following the others, and she tried to talk to Sun Xiang, but her daughter kept ignoring her and focused on her training.

A void crack opened in front of a deserted forest, and Tang Xiao brought the three women out from within. The first thing they did was try to absorb the qi around them, and their expressions turned to joy after they sensed its quality and quantity.

"Haha," Tantai Lingyan laughed excitedly. "Xiao'er! I'm confident we can reach the Saint Level if we stay in this realm for a few years!"

"I feel the same." Tang Xiao nodded at her. "I don't know how long it will take us to reach the Saint Level, but I hope it won't be decades. Once we reach that stage, we will return to Earth to make calculations with Wang Fuxi and Long Yin, and we will go to the upper realm after that."

"So, where are we now?" Tang Yin asked.

"We'll go that way," Tang Xiao pointed east. "One of the three kingdoms on this island is in that direction, so we'll go to its capital to gather information. When we were in the void earlier, I observed those five kingdoms, and that one isn't too big but not too small either, so we'll gather information from there. If we can't find a suitable one there, we'll go to the other four kingdoms."

Tang Yin nodded slightly. "Let's go there."

After some time, they arrived at the entrance gate to the kingdom, but they had to queue behind many people who wanted to enter the kingdom.

They queued for some time until it was their turn, and the gatekeeper charged them the entrance fee.

"100 Lower Spirit Crystals per person." Fortunately, Tang Xiao had a lot of spirit crystals from four different grades left by his future self. He immediately took out spirit crystals according to their number and gave them to the gatekeeper. "Go in."

Tang Xiao didn't say anything and led the three women to enter the kingdom, which was the Song Kingdom, led by King Song Zhentian.

"I don't know the size of ancient kingdoms on Earth, but this Song Kingdom capital is truly massive," Tang Yin said in awe.

Mu Qingge agreed with her. "This kingdom capital is much larger than the central area of ​​Earth II."

"We don't have any information about this kingdom." Tantai Lingyan turned to Tang Xiao. "Where are we going to find information?"

Tang Xiao scratched his head because he himself had never lived in the kingdom era. "We'll try going to a restaurant, and we'll ask the waiter there where to find information."

"Let's go then."
