Chapter 371: Breaking through defenses with ease, where is the way forward?

The strange phenomena in the outside world were so magnificent that everyone in the Nine Mountains Realm could see them, but the changes within Zheng Fa's body were earth-shaking.

The red light entered his body, as if waking up the hibiscus tree in his dantian. The leaves of the hibiscus tree swayed as if they were leaping for joy.

A surge of vitality gushed out from the Dantian, spread into the internal organs, the eight extraordinary meridians, and finally fell into the Zhoutian acupoints.

Zheng Fa felt as if he had been reborn.

Every part of the body, whether it is the internal organs or the skin, seems to be growing again under the nourishment of this vitality - no, or rather, it is improving itself.

This is like a cycle:
Because he has the Qingyang Taoist body, he has the spiritual organelle in his cells, which enables him to eventually cultivate the Fusang tree seeds.

But this Fusang tree seed seemed to be perfecting his Qingyang Dao body in turn!
By now, Zheng Fa has understood that the end of his Qingyang Taoist body is to transform into Fusang!
At the same time, the unformed Nascent Soul figure in the golden elixir seemed to be changing accordingly.

A cultivator's Nascent Soul seems to be shaped by his spirit and soul, so Senior Sister Zhang's Nascent Soul is very similar to Senior Sister Zhang herself.

However, the soul itself is closely related to the cultivator's physical body. Therefore, the shape and supernatural powers of the Nascent Soul are often closely related to the cultivator's physical body.

At the moment when the Nascent Soul changed, Zheng Fa's soul embarked on another strange journey:

He seemed to have turned into a strange red tree without branches, leaves or fruits, standing on a fairy island, unaware of the passing of time, only hearing the sound of the waves.

Later, a golden crow landed on him, built a nest on him, raised his offspring, and comprehended Taoism.

Until one day, the whole golden crow turned into a sun, carrying the spiritual energy around it, broke through the air, and sprinkled the strange power brought by the Fusang tree on the distant land.

This Golden Crow went out early and came back late, day after day. After countless years, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and gradually, he became the most powerful existence in the world.

The illusion disappeared, and the hibiscus tree in Zheng Fa's body was gently swaying its branches, and the branches and leaves seemed to be pointing to a distant place.

He could even see clearly what it was - a black banner with thousands of demons painted on it.

"Demon Emperor..."

Zheng Fa sighed in his heart.

He kept thinking that the name Demon King was too big.

According to modern legends, this is probably a title that only the most powerful people in the world can have. The Great Free Demon Ancestor is far from qualified.

Now, he has confirmed this idea:

The Demon King Fruit of the Great Free Demon Ancestor was condensed by a technique he created that could be suitable for the cultivation of all demon races.

But the hibiscus wood is different - it is more essential:
It is the purest vitality and the original source of spiritual wisdom.

It is said that the demons absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, accumulate magic power, and open up their spiritual intelligence. This essence comes from the Fusang tree.

If we were to ask who is more important to the demon race...

That's obvious.

Even without universal skills, the demon race can still practice.

Without the essence of the sun and the moon produced by the Fusang tree, would there still be monsters?
Even though Zheng Fa's Taoist body was about to be perfected and the Fusang wood in his body had not yet completely condensed into a solid entity, he felt that in the field of "Demon King's Taoist Fruit", he was far superior to the treasure banner of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

On the one hand, the Golden Crow in that picture might be the Demon King who once existed.

Simply put, we are orthodox!

On the other hand, due to the universality of the Fusang wood's functions, even though the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor has worked hard for so many years, he does not dare to say that his skills can match any demon clan.

However, the vitality and creation contained in the Fusang wood has a greater effect. It can even be said that no demon clan can do without it!
He even understood that if the Great Free Demon Ancestor wanted to achieve the true fruit of the Demon King, he had to kill himself and seize the Fusang Wood.

Otherwise, he will never be able to take this path.

……

A few days ago, in the sea thousands of miles away.

The Great Free Demon Ancestor held the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons and swept across all the giant monsters in the sea.

The Great Free Demon Ancestor has now changed his appearance. His black clothes have turned into a purple robe, and there is a golden jade crown on his head.

Behind me are layers of waves.

Standing on the waves were the demon cultivators who had been divided into thirty-six groups by him.

Their transformations were not complete, and some even appeared in the form of shrimps, crabs, fish and turtles, but their aura was not weak at all.

This group of monsters stood in a sea area where the water was pitch black. This was because there was a trench on the seabed that was tens of thousands of feet wide and bottomless. Not to mention humans, even the monsters who had lived in the sea for a long time could not tell how deep the trench was. They only knew that if they accidentally entered here, it would be difficult to get out.

"Where is the old ancestor Tunhai..." The Netherworld Immortal walked out and shouted, "The Great Free Demon Emperor is here!"

The sea in front of them was calm at first, as if no living creature heard his words.

But suddenly, a water column a hundred feet thick rose from the bottom of the sea, dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.

The Nether Immortal felt as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence. His whole body tensed up and he could not help but take two steps back, staring intently at the seabed. He saw that the dark water was gradually turning into a turquoise blue. He was puzzled, and then he saw a giant green-skinned Kun leap out of the sea and stare at him.

Looking at the seabed again, where is the trench?
Only then did he understand that this trench that was tens of thousands of feet wide was probably just the big mouth of this giant monster!
Feeling the aura coming from the giant Kun, the Netherworld Immortal became alert.

Although this big monster did not transform, he knew that some ancient monster tribes were proud of their origins and abilities, and often existed in the image of their original bodies. Not only were they not weak, but the magical powers they had accumulated over the years far exceeded people's imagination.

For example, the giant Kun in front of him, known as the Sea-Swallowing Ancestor, is one of the overlords of the sea area in Dongzhou.

Not only is his strength not weaker than his former master, Master Mingde, but he is also older. There are even rumors that he is an old demon who survived the last era!

Even the five Xuanwei sects before would not easily disturb this existence.

This time, the Great Free Demon Ancestor wanted to meet the Swallowing Sea Ancestor, more importantly, he wanted to recruit this demon clan - not to mention the other party's strength, but the secrets he knew, to the Great Free Demon Ancestor, they were all extremely precious information!
"...the Great...Free...Demon...Emperor?"

This giant Kun seemed to have lived too long, and even his speech speed was slower than others, but he became much more fluent later.
"How dare you call yourself the Demon King?"

Ancestor Tunhai fixed his huge eyes on Demon Ancestor Da Zizai, as if he could tell who among this group of people was the most difficult to deal with at once. There was not much respect in his tone for this Demon Ancestor.

"This spiritual treasure..." It stared at the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, seeming a little afraid, "Are you really going to achieve the Tao of the Demon King?"

Da Zizai waved the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in his hand and said:

"I want to unify the demon race. In the future, not only will we as demons no longer be oppressed by humans, but we will also have the great law I created..."

"them……"

Da Zizai pointed at the thirty-six demon cultivators behind him and said proudly, "These people know that only under my command can the demon race have a chance to prosper again!"

The Netherworld Immortal standing aside also sighed in his heart.

What the Great Free Demon Ancestor did after his resurrection was beyond his imagination. He even felt that it was beyond the imagination of the Nine Nether Saint Ancestor.

In other words, the Great Free Demon Ancestor probably anticipated that someone was targeting him, so he took the initiative to use his own body to attain the status of Demon King!

Everyone else thought that the Great Free Demon Ancestor placed his hope on his own resurrection, but based on his understanding during this period of time, he realized that what the Great Free Demon Ancestor had been most concerned about throughout this era was actually the blood fusion between the demon race and the Great Free Demon Cult!
No one expected that the Great Free Demon Ancestor had his sights set on the demon race!

After the resurrection of this Demon Ancestor, apart from a tentative attack on the Immortal Gate, he actually gave up competing with the Demon Ancestors of the Immortal Gates in the human territory, and instead focused on unifying the demon race and becoming the Demon King!
An era and hundreds of thousands of years of planning were only revealed today by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor himself, but everyone found that this person had actually found a way out of the chess game!
If they continue to plan among the human race, no major force will be able to tolerate the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

It just so happened that the Great Free Demon Ancestor had just been resurrected and had few followers, so he was considered very easy to deal with among the Dao Fruit cultivators - after all, it was because the Great Free Demon Ancestor had been killed once by Venerable Tianhe and his strength had been greatly reduced.

It can be said that before his resurrection, this Great Free Demon Ancestor was in a weak position. Even if he was successfully resurrected, it would be difficult for him to cope with the encirclement and suppression by various major forces!

Rather...

His choice is the demon clan!
There are too many and too diverse demon tribes, and even their skills are not unified. The Demon King only exists in legends.

It’s not that the Five Xuanwei Sects haven’t tried, but they have no clue.

No one expected that the Great Free Demon Ancestor actually created a technique that could match the vast number of demon tribes through means that ordinary people had never expected!

He even used this as a basis to initially achieve the Dao Fruit of the Demon King!

However, the demon tribe itself did not feel disgusted by this, and even responded very enthusiastically - the demon tribe was forced into the deep sea, so naturally they would feel resentful. The actions of the Great Free Demon Ancestor instantly brought together the thirty-six demon tribes, and under his command there were six more demon tribe members who had become gods over the years. The aura of the Great Free Demon Ancestor was becoming stronger day by day!
The Great Free Demon Ancestor found a blank power vacuum with no competitors and even unlimited potential.

He looked at the Sea-Swallowing Ancestor in front of him. A hint of hesitation flashed in the other's huge eyes, as if he was very tempted. But after a moment, he shook his head and tail and actually refused!
This is the first demon cultivator who was able to refuse after the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor took out the Ten Thousand Demons Banner!
This old ancestor, the Sea-Swallowing Ancestor, was the strongest among all the monsters. His hidden strength was so profound that even the Great Free Demon Ancestor was vaguely wary and coveted him.

Da Zizai frowned and asked, "Tun Hai, I heard about you in the last era. You were also bullied by human cultivators!"

Ancestor Tunhai was silent.

"Are you really willing to be trapped in the deep sea for the rest of your life?"

Da Zizai's words triggered roars from the cultivators of various demon tribes behind him.

"I can not be reconciled."

It took a long time for the old man Tunhai to speak.

"If you are unwilling, why don't you..." Da Ziyi waved the Ten Thousand Demons Banner and pointed at the thirty-six demon tribes behind him, "Join us?"

Ancestor Tunhai looked at the group of monsters on the waves with cold eyes.

"I am unwilling, but if you want me to recognize you as the Demon King..." Old Ancestor Tunhai said word by word, "You are not worthy yet."

"I am not worthy?" Da Zizai said in a slightly cold tone, "I have worked hard for hundreds of thousands of years to create a true method of all monsters!"

"Now, I have many demon men under my command!"

"The five Xuanwei sects all sat back and watched me grow in power!"

"I do not deserve?"

Da Zizai said proudly: "Who else in the world is worthy of this?"

Before Ancestor Tunhai could speak, there was a movement from Tongming Mountain on land.

Because of the barrier of the Nine Mountains, they could not see the strange phenomenon, but...

Except for Youmingxian and Chen Ting, everyone present had some sense of the birth of the Fusang tree!

"That... is the Demon King!"

The Great Free Demon Ancestor actually knew more about what was happening. He looked in the direction of the Nine Mountain Realm, no longer confident as before. After a long silence, he suddenly turned around and looked at the Netherworld Immortal Dao:
"How old is Zheng Fa?"

The Netherworld Immortal didn't know what was going on, and was already confused. Now when he heard the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor asking about Zheng Fa's age, he was naturally even more confused, but he still answered:
"Less than thirty?"

"thirty……"

The Great Free Demon Ancestor fell into a long silence.

For hundreds of thousands of years, he secretly planned and issued instructions time and time again, secretly conducting research on the common skills of the demon race, which led to the current Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

but……

Zheng Fanian is only thirty?

As he was thinking, he raised the Ten Thousand Demons Banner and suddenly swept it towards the Tunhai Ancestor in front of him.

A few days later, a giant Kun pattern appeared on the Ten Thousand Demons Banner. The Nether Immortal watched from the side, feeling very confused - why did the Great Free Demon Ancestor seem to be angry?
Obviously, wasn't the intention at the beginning to subdue this Sea-Swallowing Ancestor?

But the Great Free Demon Ancestor obviously would not explain to him. He just looked at the Nine Mountain Realm in the distance. On the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in his hand, thousands of demons were roaring towards the sky.

……

In the Nine Mountains Realm, although Zheng Fa didn't know what the Great Free Demon Ancestor was doing, he knew that now... this person was probably really thinking about him.

However, the attitude of the Five Xuanwei Sects now shows that they will no longer regard the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor as a thorn in their eyes.

Therefore... Jiushan Sect now has only two options:
A simpler way is to find one of the Five Xuanwei Sects and join them.

The other way, which seems out of reach, is to create peace on your own!
Zheng Fa tended to the latter, but he still sought out Senior Sister Zhang and the others to discuss the matter - after all, this was related to the life and death of their Nine Mountains Realm.

After hearing the current situation, the elders and others fell silent.

"Fuso wood...tsk..."

"With the Pure and Quiet Bamboo, the Fusang Tree, and the Nine Mountains, shouldn't we be afraid of the Great Free Demon Ancestor?"

Uncle Pang counted on his fingers.

"That can't be said. It was probably the Qingping Sword that worked last time." Senior Sister Zhang said softly, "What's more, the Great Free Demon Ancestor might have just been testing him last time."

"We haven't really fought him."

Uncle Pang nodded as soon as he heard it.

"As for joining the Five Xuanwei Sects, Taishang Dao is probably the best choice." Zheng Fa added, "Taishang Dao has always had the habit of accepting Xuanwei cultivators as disciples. Moreover, Master Chengkong and Master Mingde are also good people."

"Although this may sound a bit arbitrary, for a person like him to have such a high status in the Supreme Dao, then the Supreme Dao is probably not a dangerous place."

Zheng Fa's words made everyone nod.

Uncle Pang thought for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know whether the Supreme Dao is good or not, but I know that it is definitely not as good as the Nine Mountains Realm."
