Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 891 - 447: Turning Point of Fate, Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants (2)

It's truly astonishing that survival is possible in the Demon Realm while fending off the relentless assault of Demonic Qi.

"We managed to endure in the outside world solely because of the willow branches provided by the Lord of Green Willow."

From his body, Zhu Ming produced a short piece of green branch, which appeared to generate a unique barrier shielding against the intrusion of outside Demonic Qi.

The other human cultivators followed suit, each bearing similar branches.

"Green Willow?"

Jiang Fan arched an eyebrow and pressed for more details.

Soon enough, he discovered the true nature of this Green Willow—the protector of Green Willow Village and the ultimate safeguard for thousands of human cultivators.

This willow tree stands as both a tree and a remarkable Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant.

Though the might of demons fills one with dread and Demonic Qi permeates everywhere, refusing to yield to ordinary beings, how could the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Ruins Realm simply watch idly?

Over endless ages of change, myriad plants have flourished and withered, giving rise to exceptional Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants within the Demon Realm that combat demons and cleanse Demonic Qi.

Wherever these plants thrive, they establish utterly secure zones brimming with pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, untouched by any taint of Demonic Qi.

In these havens, humans can dwell with complete safety.

Beyond cleansing Demonic Qi, these Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants can consume demon flesh, drawing nourishment from it to fuel their own expansion.

That's why Zhu Ming and his companions venture beyond Green Willow Village to pursue demons.

By hauling back the demon remains and laying them before the willow tree, it absorbs the tainted flesh, leaving behind pure, unspoiled meat.

Thanks to the willow tree's aid, Green Willow Village's residents feast on demon flesh without a trace of worry.

For humans in the Demon Realm, these demons serve as a vital food supply as well.

Yet misfortune could strike, leading to death by demon claws.

Across the years, countless hunting squads have fallen to demons.

"Fascinating—such Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants thrive in the Demon Realm?"

Jiang Fan felt a spark of surprise.

Clearly, demons aren't wholly unbeatable.

Their corrupting power strikes fear, yet it's far from impossible to overcome.

Life never ceases to reveal astonishing wonders.

Spirit Plants akin to the willow tree have arisen to meet these dire threats.

"In truth, the Void Realm witnessed similar developments."

"Prior to Taixu Sect's ascent, demon outbreaks forced all races to yield ground steadily, even compelling True Spirits to withdraw to their domains and plunging the Void Realm into turmoil."

"Amid that chaos, certain unique Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants surfaced, able to cleanse demon-tainted lands."

"This enraged the demons beyond measure, spurring them to desperately uproot these Spirit Plants."

"Naturally, their attempts ended in failure."

"Had issues not erupted in the Immortal Realm, demons couldn't have ravaged the Void Realm for so long."

The Primordial Talisman Pen intoned gravely.

From the present Spirit Ruins Realm, it had glimpsed numerous echoes of the Void Realm's Ancient Era.

What once unfolded in the Void Realm now echoes in these times.

History repeats its patterns relentlessly.

"Sir, might I ask your origin?"

Zhu Ming gazed at Jiang Fan with keen curiosity.

He detected immense power in this unknown human cultivator, surpassing even Green Willow Village's chief, rivaling a formidable demon in aura.

Indeed, he'd encountered plenty of mighty figures from human settlements, but none matched this human's prowess.

Deep down, faint suspicions stirred within him.

Still, without Jiang Fan's confirmation, doubt lingered.

"I hail from the Great Xuan Dynasty."

"An unforeseen mishap brought me here."

Jiang Fan answered plainly, offering no secrets, as none were required.

"What!"

Zhu Ming shuddered, his mind reeling in astonishment, emotions crashing like tides.

Green Willow Village held vast tomes and Inheritance Jade Scrolls, well-versed in the Great Xuan Dynasty's legacy.

Tales spoke of it as the realm-spanning empire of the Human Race.

Ages ago, this very land fell under the Great Xuan Dynasty's sway.

Sadly, demon onslaughts transformed it into the Demon Realm.

He hadn't dreamed the Great Xuan Dynasty endured, nor that the Human Race persisted unbroken.

A torrent of profound feelings swiftly overwhelmed his soul.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a transmission pierced straight into the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness.

"Fate weaves its mysteries, and disasters strike without warning; destiny eludes true mastery. Your direct hand in slaying hundreds of Blood-eyed Demon Wolves saved Green Willow Village's folk, unaware this would fully provoke the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf Race's clan leader—a Tier Five Demon of immense might.

Word of its minions' demise has reached it, and it's racing toward the scene. Delay your choice, and vast perils will descend."

"Fate offers you direction."

"Fate Tip One: Though the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf clan leader ranks as a Tier Five Demon of great strength, your power makes ending it a simple feat.

Consider striking first to ambush this Tier Five Demon en route, averting future woes by crushing the danger at its root and removing the peril altogether.

Remember, this is demon domain in the Demon Realm, and slaying a Tier Five Demon invites massive chaos, drawing even fiercer demons.

Thus, avoid killing this Tier Five Demon—instead, seal it away, concealing the clan leader's eternal vanishing from fellow demons, thus dodging added woes and shielding Green Willow Village from catastrophe.

At times, sealing surpasses slaying as the wiser path."

"Fate Tip Two: Naturally, you might opt to completely destroy the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf clan leader, wiping out local demons. The catch lies in the Demon Realm's every domain being watched by mighty demons.

A demon's death alerts the demon kingdom, dispatching hordes to probe, unleashing endless demons upon you.

Despite your awesome might, ceaseless pursuits by elite demons spell doom; this would ensnare all in the vicinity, dooming them to demon slaughter."

"Hmm?!"

Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze, unprepared for a mere demon pack's demise to rouse a Tier Five Demon—evidently, the Demon Realm's demons have forged a sprawling kingdom.

Their hierarchy runs tight, echoing human realms.

Such Tier Five demons act as this territory's overlords, tasked with its defense.

As long as they live, no demon kingdom stirs, but death summons elite investigators.

It's akin to Fengming City's City Lord perishing, inevitably alerting the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The Demon Realm operates no differently.

Hence, raw power alone won't secure life here.

Ignorance of local laws turns reckless demon hunts into dire straits.

Then, swarms of elite demons descend, and no matter your resilience, death follows.

"Thus, sealing the demon emerges as the sole strategy, over outright execution?"

"Thankfully, I command demon-sealing techniques."

"Else, coping would prove impossible."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Among his ten Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, each boasting varied might, the Heaven-Suppressing Ring Talisman excels at binding demons.

It forms a Heaven-Suppressing Ring that, once affixed to a foe, subdues any adversary regardless of their skills, locking them in place.

Yet as a First-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, the Heaven-Suppressing Ring Talisman he crafts binds only Tier Five and lesser beings.

Confronting a Tier Five Demon thus remains feasible.

Should it overwhelm, flight remains an option.

For now, crisis hasn't peaked to desperation.
