Chapter 1295: Background

After guiding the three demons for a period of time, Su Fan left this mountain range. Of course, before leaving, Su Fan also set up a Great Array around the perimeter of the three demons' cave dwelling.

With Su Fan's cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, even a casually placed Great Array would likely be difficult for even a Golden Immortal to break, which could be considered providing the three demons with a safe place to cultivate.

After all, if the three demons truly needed to undergo their tribulation, relying on an Acquired Spiritual Treasure might lead to them being discovered.

The preciousness of an Acquired Spiritual Treasure would certainly invite covetous hearts from others. With this Great Array, the three demons could safely pass through their tribulations and cultivate diligently. Once they cultivate to the Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal stage, or even the True Immortal stage, they would then have a certain degree of self-preservation power.

Combined with the Acquired Spiritual Treasure, as long as they do not encounter a Golden Immortal, they would have nothing to fear.

If they truly encounter a Golden Immortal, generally speaking, anyone capable of cultivating to the Golden Immortal stage would have a decent background and discernment. They would certainly be able to see the origins of the three demons, as well as the immortal arts they cultivate, and naturally would understand that the three demons have a background and backing.

For the sake of a middle or low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, is it worth offending such a backing of demon immortals?

Unless they are the type of wild cultivators, but those able to cultivate to the Golden Immortal stage likely do not have too poor of a background.

Therefore, Su Fan left with peace of mind.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a golden light shot up into the sky from beneath Wuzhishan.

"The monkey is out, and the great drama of Journey to the West has begun."

Ever since he took in the three demons and left, Su Fan had returned to a place not far from Wuzhishan. Now that he has cultivated to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, it is very difficult for Su Fan to raise his cultivation realm again.

For him, there are almost no opportunities left in the Honghuang Sanjie.

Although Beiju Luzhou is now also fiercely competitive, especially with the Earth Immortal Great Dao running rampant, the originally desolate land of Beiju Luzhou has gradually become prosperous.

Various sects and forces have one after another gone to conquer Savage Beasts and desolate beasts, reclaim mountain ranges, and disperse baleful Qi, in order to establish their Earth Vein mountain gates.

It is quite lively indeed.

However, this holds no attraction for Su Fan. He has his own cave dwelling, and the cave dwelling he has opened up over these years has already evolved to the level of a Blessed Land.

It is only half a step away from becoming a Grotto-Heaven.

In reality, he only needs to perform the "Opening of the Heavens" to push it to the level of a Grotto-Heaven; of course, this step is not so easy.

Because opening a Grotto-Heaven requires connecting the Grotto-Heaven with Chaos, and also requires an object to suppress the Grotto-Heaven, which can suppress the violent Chaos Qi, and use it to comb through the Chaos Qi, transforming it into Innate Qi.

This is not so easy.

Su Fan's cultivation is still lacking a bit, and as for the suppression object, an Innate Spiritual Root is best.

Of course, Innate Spiritual Roots are absolutely rare items in the current Three Realms, but for Su Fan, they are not considered too precious.

After all, he has two great backers behind him; the first is the Human Race.

The Human Race has existed for so many years, so naturally, they are not without Innate Spiritual Roots; there are even three top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots in Fire Cloud Cave.

As for middle and low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, there are also dozens of them.

Therefore, if he truly needs them, given his contributions to the Human Race, in reality, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and those clan elders would not refuse.

Moreover, opening a Grotto-Heaven is not without benefits for the Human Race. Since he is a sage of the Human Race, then in the future, the Grotto-Heaven will certainly be able to accommodate a portion of the Human Race's powerhouses.

And the other backer is the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, a powerhouse at the Half-Saint level of Honghuang, a top-tier Innate Divine who is destined to become a Saint in the next kalpa.

This great power has even more Innate Spiritual Roots.

Who is Zhenyuanzi? He himself is of Innate Spiritual Root origin; he can be said to be the Ancestor of the billions of plant and wood spiritual roots in Honghuang.

It would not be an exaggeration to call him the Spirit Emperor.

In fact, when the Ten Thousand Races were contending for hegemony, the fact that the plant and wood race was able to survive was also thanks to Zhenyuanzi.

After all, the plant and wood race in Honghuang is naturally very dangerous; after all, for cultivators, especially after the rise of the Immortal Dao, they became increasingly dangerous.

Immortal Dao cultivators have an increasing need for plant and wood spiritual roots.

Plant and wood spiritual roots can enhance the cultivation of Immortal Dao cultivators and even the Ten Thousand Races; one can imagine the danger involved, just like during the Witch and Demon Tribes period, did the Human Race not also become a target for the two tribes?

Becoming "Spirit Pills" for the Demon Tribe to increase their cultivation, or becoming consumable materials for the Witch Tribe to refine blood weapons.

Plant and wood spiritual roots are naturally weaker than other Ten Thousand Races, but fortunately, with this great power, they were able to survive during the contention of the Ten Thousand Races.

And under the cultivation of this great power, quite a few powerhouses were born; at the very least, there are more than ten Great Luo-level Innate Spiritual Roots.

One must know that as Innate Spiritual Roots, their origins are naturally not bad, but most of the time, Innate Spiritual Roots are difficult to take human form.

Among the top ten Innate Spiritual Roots of Honghuang, how many have successfully taken human form?

Furthermore, most Innate Spiritual Roots are discovered by others before they can take human form, and then their intelligence is erased.

That the Spirit Race can have more than ten top-tier Great Luo Golden Immortals is entirely due to this great power protecting and cultivating them.

Therefore, in Wuzhuang Temple, the Innate Spiritual Roots alone are absolutely the best in Honghuang. Not to mention the Dao Ancestor, other Innate Divines of the same generation as Zhenyuanzi, even those as strong as the Three Pure Ones, cannot compare to the former.

As for the Witch and Demon Tribes of the past, perhaps they might have had more than the former, but those were two tribes; the Innate Spiritual Roots they needed to consume go without saying.

Moreover, the current Witch and Demon Tribes have declined to the extreme.

The Demon Tribe does not even have the Demon Court anymore.

And as a direct disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, he, Su Fan, naturally has the possibility of inheriting these Innate Spiritual Roots, or rather, in the future, once Zhenyuanzi leaves Honghuang, then Wuzhuang Temple will be his, Su Fan's.

And even now, if he needed them, Zhenyuanzi would not withhold them.

In terms of potential wealth, he is no worse than those direct disciples of the Saints; although he does not have many Innate Spiritual Treasures in his hands, they are definitely not bad.

The twelve Sea-Calming Pearls—this Innate Spiritual Treasure alone is something many second-generation disciples cannot compare to, and in terms of Merit Spiritual Treasures, he definitely counts as top-tier.

He has several Humanity Merit Spiritual Treasures in his hands; although most are not offensive spiritual treasures, as Merit Spiritual Treasures, they all have defensive effects.

These Merit Spiritual Treasures, of course, also have a certain protective effect for opening a Grotto-Heaven, because opening a Grotto-Heaven world will also attract the harassment of the Demonic Path.

Especially while the Demon World still exists.

The Great Trend has arrived, and now the Demonic Path is also taking advantage of the situation to rise. The Demonic Path possesses the origin Demon World, which can be said to be impossible to eliminate.

Those great powers of the Demonic Path are not easy to provoke either; returning to the Demon World, even a Saint can do nothing about them.

Now that the Saints have left, Honghuang, facing the Light and Darkness Great World, does not want to push the great powers of the Demon World toward the Light and Darkness World.

As a result, the Demonic Path is naturally becoming increasingly rampant.

Furthermore, Su Fan understood that during the Journey to the West Calamity, the Qi of Luck of the Buddhist Sect reached its zenith; prosperity leads to decline, and thus the Buddhist Demon Calamity erupted.
