The Wild Heart Isle did not have the concept of neutral territory. Territory was carved out by beasts with their own strength. Some made large swaths of land theirs while others pulled back and simply held a place for their chosen descendents to grow stronger.
The only exception to such territories was the single cultivator city that had the teleportation array and entrance to the bridge tunnel.
That city, however, was basically ignored as it could never challenge the beasts.
While the Sky Realm and below beasts often fought amongst each other for progress or simple survival, the Star Tiers and some tier 9 Sky Realms had a kind of understanding.
Star Tiers, by definition, could not openly fight at the surface level. Their power would render any other fight near them pointless. The island would crack open like an egg if 2 Star Tiers truly unleashed their power on the surface.
