The Legendary Man

As Clinton knelt on the ground, Jonathan’s gaze narrowed, but he remained silent.

Based on the reactions of the Mountain Village villagers and the envoy’s description of Yannopolis, Jonathan had a general understanding of the structure of this small world.

Yannopolis stood at the center, with one hundred and eight villages forming the periphery. In the middle, the two Outer Cities were divided into the north and south regions.

The city layout, especially the arrangement of the thirty-six intermediate villages and seventy-two lower-level villages, was incredibly effective. It was even comparable to modern corporate management models.

Whether it was the exchange of cultivators between the north and south regions or the layout of the intermediate villages, everything seemed to be a way for Yannopolis to redirect the animosity.

The exchange of cultivators between the north and south regions caused pressure on the villages below them, and the “collective punishment” system caused the intermediate villages to bear the consequences of the mistakes made by lower-level villages. This, in turn, caused the intermediate villages to put a constant source of pressure on the seventy-two lower-level villages, ensuring they wouldn’t dare to act out of line.

The lower-level villages resented the intermediate villages, the intermediate villages feared the envoys from the Outer Cities, and all the envoys from the Outer Cities were nothing more than lackeys raised to follow instructions from the Inner City.

This seemingly simple system was actually a tightly woven web of control.

As the outermost village, Mountain Village had no hope of breaking free from this oppressive system, even if they rebelled.

long as you have a cultivation method, you should be able to—” At this point, Jonathan froze, and then he suddenly realized what was happening. He nodded his head in understanding. “I understand now. Yannopolis’ control is so strict that they would have definitely cut off your access to cultivation methods. You don’t have any cultivation methods above Grandmaster Realm, do you?” Clinton clenched his fists and reluctantly nodded as he turned to Jonathan. “Several hundred years ago, every village around here had God Realm cultivators. However, after the wave of beast attacks three hundred years ago, the God Realm cultivators in the one hundred and eight villages were all either killed or severely injured. Those who survived were taken away by Yannopolis under the pretense of getting rewarded, and there have been no God Realm cultivators since then.” Jonathan felt a heavy weight on his chest upon hearing this. “If I’m guessing correctly, those from Yannopolis will continue to remove and get rid of your newly emerged God Realm cultivators along with their cultivation methods, won’t they?” “That’s right!” Clinton’s expression turned grim as he looked at Jonathan. “In less than fifty years, all the villages have lost the inheritance of God Realm cultivation. Even if some villages managed to keep something hidden, they realized it too late and couldn’t make a difference. We have no way to turn the tide!” Seboxia walked forward and waved his hand, sending out a stream of spiritual energy. He gently lifted Clinton off the ground. “You’ve all suffered greatly.
