Chapter 799: Aftermath of the Demon Cave
"Haha! This poor Daoist merely picked up a bargain. If not for the fellow Daoists on Zhuque Dao sacrificing their lives for righteousness to heavily wound that Ren Shui Lao Mo, this poor Daoist would have had no way to kill that old demon."
"Rather than saying this poor Daoist saved Zhuque Dao, it would be better to say it was the three armies of Zhuque Dao."
Su Fan did not claim the credit.
Indeed, in the battle of Zhuque Dao, those cultivators guarding the island fought the Ren Shui Lao Mo to the death with great courage; only then was he able to land the final blow to kill the old demon.
"Fellow Daoist is too modest."
"Zhuque Dao did indeed wound this scoundrel Ren Shui, but without you, Fellow Daoist, that final thunderous strike—I fear the old demon would have escaped. Once he recovered and returned, wouldn't Zhuque Dao have been in even greater danger?"
"At that time, the great war would have continued, and the number of casualties among our Human Race cultivators would have increased even further."
"Your intervention, Fellow Daoist, was the final straw that ended the Great War between Humans and Demons."
"This old man also represents the billions of cultivators of Donghai in offering a solemn bow."
"Brother Baiyang, you are too serious."
Su Fan hurriedly dodged aside. If one were to speak of merit, he did not necessarily surpass Baiyang Laodao; it could be said that Baiyang Laodao was the greatest hero in blocking the Demon Race's vanguard.
"Haha! Senior Baiyang, Li Daoyou, I think you two don't need to be so modest back and forth. Both of you are the greatest heroes in resisting the Demon Race army this time."
Seeing this, Qingmu Sanren also said with a laugh, using this to interrupt the tug-of-war between the two.
"Li Daoyou, are you preparing to leave?"
"That is correct! I have been in Donghai for several decades, and since the Demon Race has retreated, it is time to leave. Moreover, there are likely Demon Caves near my sect; I must break them early, otherwise, there will be endless ravages by demon cultivators in the future."
Su Fan said.
Once these words were spoken, Baiyang Laodao and Qingmu Sanren nodded solemnly. Although the Demon Race had left, before doing so, they had released many Demonic Path origin stars, which transformed into various Star Fragments that merged into Yuanyang Jie, forming numerous Demon Caves.
These Demon Caves provided a source of the Demonic Path for those demon cultivators. If the Demon Caves were not destroyed, demonic energy would flow out continuously, providing a place for demon cultivators to practice.
At the same time, these Demonic Path origins would also erode Yuanyang Jie.
Every party found these Demon Caves extremely troublesome.
Some Demon Caves were extremely hidden and impossible to discover.
Of course, over these years, the Human Race Immortal Cultivators of Yuanyang Jie had also been committed to striking at demon cultivators; whenever a Demon Cave was discovered, they would attack it as much as possible, or if that failed, they would seal it to prevent it from having the chance to cause a bloodbath.
Originally, there were no Demon Caves in Nanhuang, but previously, because the Qingshui Sect turned into demon cultivators, some demon cultivators secretly hid a Demonic Path origin, which transformed into a Demon Cave.
That Demon Cave is still over in Wu Guo.
Because of the negligence of the Yuanding Sect, that Demon Cave has remained intact until now.
This time, the great powers of the Demonic Path transported Demonic Path origin again. If they sensed that Demon Cave, it would inevitably receive that origin, and under the reinforcement of demonic power, it would likely become even more powerful.
By then, the demon cultivators inside would benefit, and their cultivation levels would certainly increase significantly.
The number of demon cultivators in Wu Guo would inevitably surge in the future.
If things went poorly, it could trigger an even more terrifying origin of the Demonic Path.
This situation was quite thorny, and the strength of the Yuanding Sect in Nanhuang would likely be unable to suppress it by then.
Then, as the Demonic Path erupted and swept across the entire Nanhuang, causing a whole continent to turn into the Demonic Path, it would take much more effort to root it out.
Demon cultivators cultivate at an extremely fast speed; although there are great sequelae, as long as they kill enough, even Nascent Soul Stage demon cultivators can rapidly increase their cultivation.
"With you, Fellow Daoist, in Nanhuang, I imagine the surrounding regions will not have to worry about the ravages of demon cultivators in the future. They are quite fortunate."
Qingmu Sanren said with a smile.
This was not praise, but a fact. Generally, demon cultivators would not choose a place guarded by a Primordial Spirit Stage cultivator to set up a Demon Cave; that would be no different from seeking death.
Although Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators rarely left their own caves on a daily basis.
And they rarely took action against Nascent Soul Stage demon cultivators.
But to openly plant a Demon Cave within their sphere of influence—wouldn't that be a provocation?
Nanyu had the most Demon Caves because there were very few Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators in Nanyu, while Dongyu had the fewest. As the center of the Immortal Cultivation world, Dongyu had always been the most prosperous, and the Human Race Immortal Cultivators there were the strongest.
As for Ximo and Beihuang, there were also quite a few Demon Caves.
Especially in Ximo, because of the issue with the Buddhist Sect, the demon cultivators in Ximo were even more terrifying.
Buddha and Demon are one; often, some great Buddhist cultivators were themselves demon cultivators, which also led to more and more demon cultivators running to Ximo to establish Demon Caves.
"Why do you say that to me, Fellow Daoist? With you in Yunzhou, isn't that also a fortunate matter?"
"Haha!"
Qingmu Sanren immediately stroked his beard and laughed.
After the three exchanged pleasantries, they sat down in Su Fan's cave and began to discuss their respective paths of cultivation.
All three were Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators. Here, Baiyang Laodao had the highest cultivation, but in terms of realm, that was not the case.
On the contrary, when the three were communicating, it was Su Fan who spoke more, while the other two listened.
Su Fan's Divine Soul realm was now faintly above that of Baiyang Laodao, and he had also returned from the side of Swallowed Star.
Over there, he often listened to lectures by many Domain Lords, World Lords, and even Immortal Level beings on the virtual network.
Although there was much flower, the harvest was great.
Although most of it was in terms of Martial Dao, in Swallowed Star, once one cultivated to the Star Level, one was qualified to begin sensing the Heaven and Earth Law.
As for the path of the Spirit Reader, which was similar to the Divine Soul Dao, with such a high vantage point, Su Fan's realm had improved significantly.
Even if he could not sense his own Dao, taking out some of the better content from those materials was enough to shock Baiyang Laodao.
As a Primordial Spirit Stage cultivator of the Shangqing Sect, Baiyang Laodao had come into contact with the Immortal World. Connecting to the Immortal World, there were cultivation jade slips passed down by predecessors from the Immortal World, which contained many of their cultivation insights.
Those were the cultivation paths of Immortal-Demon Stage powerhouses, equivalent to them preaching the Dao.
Therefore, facing the cultivation insights Su Fan brought out, his inner shock was even more intense.
The Great Dao leads to the same destination by different paths. Although the cultivation of Swallowed Star might be somewhat different, sensing the Heaven and Earth Law was very similar.
This exchange allowed Baiyang Laodao to gain a great harvest, and he himself discovered that the other party's realm was already not the least bit weaker than his own.
This also made Baiyang Laodao even more curious about Su Fan's identity.
From the information he gathered, the other party seemed to be a Reincarnation, but looking at it now, it was not just an ordinary one; the other party's previous life might have been extraordinary.
After all, to be able to recover to the Primordial Spirit Stage in just a few hundred years, and for the other party's realm to be so powerful, the other party's previous life cultivation must have also been very high.
Perhaps it was even the Primordial Spirit Late Stage, it was hard to say.
But if the previous life was a great cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Late Stage, it would be impossible to be completely unknown.
