Chapter 1105: Northern Beiju Continent

The Profound Heaven Sect is plundering territory in the Southern Nanzhan Continent, but in reality, other sects have not been idle either. Great battles frequently occur here in the Southern Nanzhan Continent; battles between human factions, and between human and demon factions, are constant occurrences.

Some are even cross-continental conflicts.

Between these three realms—the Southern Nanzhan Continent, the Western Xiniu Continent, and the Northern Beiju Continent—there are many factions.

The Southern Nanzhan Continent is mostly composed of sects originating from the human race, while the Western Xiniu Continent and the Northern Beiju Continent are home to the myriad races.

Having experienced the Lich Calamity and the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the number of races from the myriad races that have actually survived is not large.

Some races even number only a few hundred.

For instance, the Myriad Elephant Clan has only two or three individuals left; of course, these individual beings are each extremely powerful.

Most of these reside in the Northern Beiju Continent. Although the Northern Beiju Continent is filled with baleful Qi and is not a very good environment for the human race to survive in, it makes no difference to many of the myriad races.

Although there is much baleful Qi, there are even more spirit veins.

Gradually, quite a few factions have indeed set their sights on this Northern Beiju Continent, especially after the appearance of the Earth Deity Path.

This is also why Su Fan's cultivation realm has improved so rapidly.

The base camp of the Western Buddhist Sect was established within the range of the former Daoist site of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

With the annihilation of the Great Qin, the great calamity in the Nine Provinces has come to an end.

In this way, would it not be better to establish a mountain gate here?

The Merit Golden Body is the most effective at restraining evil Qi; it can be said to be immune to all evil.

The sects established by the disciples of the Three Teachings all have Great Luo Golden Immortals presiding over them, and some, like the Golden Summit Gate, were even established by Guang Chengzi himself.

But now, they are all eyeing the Northern Beiju Continent like tigers watching their prey, and the native beings of the Northern Beiju Continent are not to be trifled with either.

Over these past thirty thousand years, the merit behind Su Fan's forehead has already transformed into a ring of golden light of merit.

Merit is, in reality, merely the origin of the world, and it is only suitable for the Primordial World.

After all, the rules of every world are somewhat different.

However, while he was in seclusion, he subconsciously condensed the merit together, transforming it into the golden light of merit.

There are many top-tier spirit lands in the Northern Beiju Continent, and even blessed lands, but they were not valued by many factions after being polluted by baleful Qi in the past.

Of course, in the Primordial World, the Buddhist Sect also loves to slay the demonic path the most; after all, the struggle between Buddha and Demon is the most common.

Naturally, at the level of Zhenyuanzi, this merit is insignificant to him, and he does not seek to become a saint through merit.

This is also thanks to the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.

However, to cultivate the Merit Golden Body, one requires merit.

Therefore, there is no need to rush at all; in terms of cultivation realm, he is not much worse than those Six Saints, and he might even be a few points higher than Zhunti.

Countless beings cultivating the Earth Deity Path offer sacrifices to these great immortals, and the continuous flow of luck, while perhaps not as great as that of the Dao Ancestor back then...

... but after the appearance of the Earth Deity Path, it can comb through the baleful Qi in the earth veins, so the spiritual Qi overflowing from the spirit caves is naturally "clean."

But over the long term, especially for beings cultivating the Earth Deity Path, the merit gained from increasing the power of the earth veins will also partially descend upon Zhenyuanzi.

Even if he cannot become a saint in the Primordial World in the future, he can still head to the Chaos World to attempt to break through to the realm of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It is just that the Daoist Sect of later generations became more aloof, while the Buddhist Sect developed comprehensively, surrounding everything from the bottom to the top.

The Buddhist Sect has a method for the Merit Golden Body, transforming merit into a golden body; this is also a way of utilizing merit.

That ring of shimmering golden light of merit, once displayed, could likely melt countless demons and monsters.

One can imagine how much merit Zhenyuanzi will accumulate in the future.

Buddha and Demon are irreconcilable.

One can imagine that the Northern Beiju Continent has instead become a hot commodity now.

They were living perfectly well in the Northern Beiju Continent originally, so naturally, they do not want outside factions.

Those who can grow up are almost all those who have walked out of slaughter, so naturally, each and every one of these beings is extremely fierce.

Among the Four Great Divine Continents, the territory of the Northern Beiju Continent is actually the largest.

And the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was also the founder of the Demon World, so the cause and effect between Demon and Buddha are endless.

At first, other factions reached in, but they suffered heavy losses; however, they are unwilling to give up such a large piece of meat as the Northern Beiju Continent.

Therefore, wars have been constant over these years. The living environment of the Northern Beiju Continent is harsh, and the myriad races living here are all extraordinary because the long-term influence of the baleful Qi of heaven and earth makes these beings yearn more for slaughter.

This is also why the Buddhist Sect likes to promote doing good deeds, similar to the Daoist Sect.

And there is that Lishan Daoist Temple, as well as the Lishan Old Mother; these factions cannot ignore a blessed land.

Heavenly Demons also love to seek out the Buddhist Sect to exploit loopholes and devour Buddhist disciples.

The merit that the Heavenly Dao pressed down earlier had also long since descended upon Su Fan silently while he was in seclusion.

So now, in the three realms of the Primordial World, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi is also hailed as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals; this is a solid, tangible fruit.

But it is different now. Cultivating the Earth Deity Path, spending thousands or even tens of thousands of years combing through the earth vein spirit veins to obtain a blessed land, is an existence that cannot be ignored by any faction.

A blessed land, let alone a sect like the Profound Heaven Sect, even top-tier sects like the Shangqing Sect or the Golden Summit Gate cannot ignore it.

Of course, Zhenyuanzi does not care, but Su Fan and Zhang Liang are different.

The Buddhist Sect is also the most harassed by Heavenly Demons, so this Merit Golden Body method came into being as the times required.

This is still because he has not absorbed the merit to transform it into cultivation; otherwise, relying on this body of merit, it would absolutely be no problem to reach the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After all, the limitations of becoming a saint through merit are still very great, and he is already at the half-saint level and has already formed a Dao fruit, so the smooth path to becoming a saint has already appeared.

Many spirit lands even have spiritual Qi that contains baleful Qi; when cultivators practice and absorb this spiritual Qi, they often have to remove the baleful Qi within, so their cultivation naturally does not go as desired.

The baleful Qi of the Northern Beiju Continent is indeed terrifying; whether on the ground or underground, it is filled with baleful Qi.

Therefore, for him, merit is at most accumulated to serve as a merit spirit treasure, but this is at most only suitable for the Primordial World.

Once he leaves the Primordial World, the merit spirit treasure will become an ordinary spirit treasure.

Vast and boundless, and because there were no other factions developing it at the beginning, although this place is a land of poor mountains and evil waters, the spirit lands within also make people drool.

Quite a few factions are constantly joining in, naturally triggering even greater battles.

Of course, because of this, they have gradually developed a portion of the spirit lands, which is naturally meritorious to heaven and earth.

Removing baleful Qi and combing through earth veins is, after all, beneficial to heaven and earth. ===== CHAPTER 1106 =====
