Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Youlan Star Path.

Giant Shark Realm.

This is a world slightly larger than the Lingxia Realm, located on the outskirts of the Youlan Star Path.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Giant Shark Realm was still renowned for its abundant resources, a place with countless treasures and natural wonders.

Unfortunately, with the unsustainable exploitation of cultivation resources, this once prosperous world has long fallen into decline.

High-level cultivators in the Giant Shark Realm, if they had the means, had found ways to escape with their families as early as eight thousand years ago. All that remained were abandoned commoners unable to tread the Star Road.

The Giant Shark Realm was originally one of the resource stars controlled by the Demon Buddha Poxun. Recalling the past, countless wars erupted here to seize the resources of the Giant Shark Realm, eventually conquered by the Bodhisattva Force, which stationed heavy troops here and managed it meticulously.

At its peak, there was even a Giant Shark Demon guarding the realm, who had entered the Dao Fruit Seventh Layer Realm, giving the realm its name.

One of the four Heavenly Monarchs under Bo Xun, Black Flame Yama, once jested during a banquet in the Flesh and Blood Mother Realm that this place was a fortress above the Youlan Star Path in the bodhisattva domain, famously strong and impregnable.

However, everyone experiences glorious moments; don't mistake them for eternity. With the gradual depletion of resources and changes in the situation, this former fortress has now become accessible to all, beginning a cycle of changing rulers.

Various raider forces have flocked here, establishing businesses, actively exchanging opinions with companions, and killing with bloodshed.

After nearly ten thousand years of competition and the continuous development of new logistics routes on the Youlan Star Path, the status of the Giant Shark Realm has become increasingly insignificant until it was occupied by a group of raiders known as the Red Shark.

Their leader self-styled as the Red Shark King, mysterious in appearance, always wearing a bizarre red shark ghost mask, whose fierce name could stop children from crying in the Giant Shark Realm.

As a competent ruler, the Red Shark King, well aware of the dangers and struggles on the Youlan Star Path, focused on the development and utilization of population resources in the Giant Shark Realm, issuing various laws to meticulously manage and exploit these resources, devising a range of schemes to squeeze the lifeblood from the people.

Including, but not limited to, forced marriages and regular collection of the elderly population.

To prevent unnecessary wastage from the innocent deaths of injured or sick people, cultivators from the Red Shark Organization conduct regular inspections and collections to avoid wastage, thoughtfully warming hearts.

These Life Soul Resources are crucial for the Red Shark King's external trade, colluding with other raider groups.

Otherwise, even with his Immortal Platform Seventh Layer status, how could the Red Shark King occupy such a large Giant Shark Realm? The Youlan Star Path is a gathering place for elites from the Cosmic Sea, fiercely competitive.

In terms of cultivation, the Red Shark King would surely not rank highly across the vast Youlan Star Path, but when it comes to systematic management, as a master of cost control and sustainable depletion, the Red Shark King's methods would surely rank in the top ten along the entire Youlan Star Path.

Moreover, with his adept skills and flexible methods, it's said this villain was even adopted by the Sect Master of the most powerful raider organization, the Black Sun Sect, as an adopted son. Keep in mind, the Sect Master of the Black Sun Sect is a mighty Dao Fruit expert who once escaped from pursuit by Heavenly Monarch masters.

Using the resources of the Giant Shark Realm to win the favor of various powerful individuals with skillful tactics and seemingly false rumors, the Red Shark King has firmly occupied the Giant Shark Realm for tens of thousands of years, with no one able to shake his position to this day.

This is the advantage of low human rights in the Giant Shark Realm....

If you are beautiful, you can become a slave, used to trade resources or as a reward to please other cultivators.

If you have cultivation talent, the Red Shark Organization can also absorb you, turning you into fresh blood.

Of course, the Red Shark King does not completely drain the lifeblood from the people of the Giant Shark Realm. If food is insufficient, he will still send people to purchase food from outside to provide relief, maintaining population reproduction.

Besides this minor internal exploitation, the Red Shark King also engages in another small business.

That is highway robbery.

He has secretly planted numerous Detection Arrays around the Giant Shark Realm. Once a small trade convoy approaches, if the great Red Shark King believes it can be taken down, he will lead his group onto his meticulously prepared treasure ship, leading his forces out for domestic subsidy!

This is crucial for his advancement to the Immortal Platform Eighth Layer!

As for controlling his subordinates, the great Red Shark King has his unique insights, and that is poisoning.

This villain somehow obtained a strange parasitic poison, which without the Red Shark King's personal suppression for a century, would act up, absorbing the host's flesh and soul, helping it develop into a kind of exotic insect that can be sold for big money!

This way, the Red Shark King earns a ticket for recovery.

At this moment, within the Red Shark Organization's assembly hall, a sudden cry of surprise arose!

"Great Red Shark King, there is an opportunity!"

"This time, it is a big one, a large fat sheep, my lord."

A rough-looking man clad in black armor hurriedly rushed in from outside, kneeling on one knee in front of the high-seated figure wearing a red shark ghost mask in the assembly hall, reporting!

Upon hearing this, the sound of silk and bamboo, as well as the merriment and drinking inside the assembly hall, momentarily paused!

"Healsa, in major events, maintain composure; how have I taught you?"

"Traps often disguise themselves as opportunities; no matter how small the trade convoy, there might be powerful individuals lurking within. Surely you understand this principle, right?"
