Actually, not many cultivators present cared about the sustainable development strategy mentioned by Yan Taibai. Even though they knew his words made sense—the most prominent example being the Scarlet Forbidden Area of the Yue Cultivation World, which, by Yan Taibai's order, no one was allowed to enter for a thousand years without his command.
Of course, even if Yan Taibai hadn't issued the order, hardly anyone would have been willing to go in anyway. Not only had the spiritual Qi diminished, but visitors could only stay for a few days, and all the natural spiritual herbs inside had already been completely harvested. In a thousand years, however, the area would have plenty of time to recover a great deal. More importantly, the current Seven Sects of Yue Country relied on the vast cultivation resources of the Chaotic Star Sea and no longer needed to depend on the Scarlet Forbidden Area to acquire Foundation Establishment Pills.
As long as one had enough Spirit Stones, heading to the Chaotic Star Sea meant securing as many Foundation Establishment Pills as desired, along with opportunities to hunt monster beasts. Of course, sects from other countries within the Heavenly Dao Alliance were also permitted to enter the Chaotic Star Sea to hunt monster beasts, provided they paid in Spirit Stones. Yan Taibai no longer restricted this, as he possessed sufficient strength to intercept and mediate any potential conflicts between the two regions.
