Chapter 818: The Plan

Ever since Su Fan returned from Donghai, he had been in seclusion cultivating, and of course, refining Puppets for the Zixiao Sect, especially preparing to refine a Tier 6 Golden Man Puppet. As for matters of the outside world, he had no interest.

In any case, with him holding the fort, even if Demonic Cultivators were to erupt outside, they would not dare to provoke the Zixiao Sect.

With him holding the fort at the Zixiao Sect, it could be said that for a radius of five million miles, it was quite peaceful; even the century-long Beast Tide had vanished.

The Monster Race were not fools; the eruption of a Beast Tide was merely something launched by the higher-ups of the Monster Race, and knowing full well that the Zixiao Sect had a Primordial Spirit Stage expert holding the fort, how would they dare to come over?

Therefore, the Zixiao Sect had always been quite peaceful.

When disciples of the Zixiao Sect went out now, they only bullied others; whoever heard the name of the Zixiao Sect would retreat by three points.

All of this was due to the influence of Su Fan, this Primordial Spirit Stage expert.

In these past few years, Su Fan's strength had also progressed significantly; do not look at how he was distracted by trying to refine a Tier 6 Golden Man Puppet while also comprehending the origin of the Demonic Path.

The Star Fragment from the Demon Cave was, in reality, the origin of the Demonic Path.

Demonic Qi, like Spirit Energy, was a type of primordial energy between heaven and earth.

All things in heaven and earth carry Yin and embrace Yang, with central Qi acting as harmony; Yin and Yang are opposites, yet they also possess the command of the unity of Yin and Yang.

For all things of Yin and Yang, Demonic Qi might be a poison to Immortal Cultivators, yet in reality, it is not so; Demonic Qi contains powerful negative auras that constantly erode the Divine Soul of an Immortal Cultivator.

Therefore, after many Immortal Cultivators converted into Demonic Cultivators, because the Demonic Qi negatively affected their Divine Souls, their consciousness began to gradually become chaotic, and their hearts of slaughter grew ever greater.

This caused them to gradually walk down a path of no return, and relying on this slaughter to improve their cultivation was only temporary, leading to most Demonic Cultivators having increasingly poor states of mind.

The Heavenly Dao is perfectly impartial; whether it is an Immortal Cultivator or a Demonic Cultivator, the Heavenly Dao is always perfectly impartial.

When Demonic Cultivators slaughter, they are at most met with hostility from Humanity.

The Heavenly Tribulation is sent down by the Heavenly Dao; why is it more dangerous for Demonic Cultivators to break through the barriers of Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit than for Immortal Cultivators? It is not because of what Immortal Cultivators say—that their slaughter is too great, causing the Thunder Tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao to be stronger.

Rather, it is because during the process of undergoing the tribulation or breaking through barriers, their state of mind is insufficient; some fall into Heart Demons, and some are turned to ashes during the Heart Demon Tribulation.

State of mind—the higher the cultivation, the higher the requirements for the state of mind.

Even in the martial arts world, they emphasize the state of mind; if one is not careful, they fall into Heart Demons, let alone this world of Immortal Cultivation, where it is even more so.

Demonic Qi itself has a negative influence on the spirit, and long-term slaughter only exacerbates this point.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Otherwise, would the Demon Race not have perished long ago?

In reality, as long as the state of mind is sufficiently strong, the negative pollution of Demonic Qi cannot affect the state of mind, and at that point, the improvement of the realm is the same.

Su Fan's comprehension of the origin of the Demonic Path these days was equivalent to contemplating the rules of heaven and earth, and his gains were not small.

This type of Demon Cave Star Fragment was a fragment of a world's origin, and the origin it contained was closest to the rules of heaven and earth.

It was much easier to contemplate.

His realm had improved quite a bit in these few years; just in terms of the realm of the Divine Soul, he had already reached the Primordial Spirit Late Stage, though in terms of cultivation, he was still at the Primordial Spirit Initial Stage.

However, he was not in any rush regarding this point; he had a Star Heart within his body, and by slowly refining magic power and cultivation, he did not need any Spirit Energy to improve his cultivation.

Sitting steadily on Tianzhu Shan, he was also in no rush to ascend to the Upper Realm now.

Having learned some of the situation in the "Immortal World" from Baiyang Laodao, he knew that ascending to the Upper Realm now was not a good thing.

In the Immortal World, the Primordial Spirit Stage was also just a small fry.

Moreover, the situation in the Upper Realm was even more dangerous than in the Yuanyang Jie, and even the regions of the Immortal World were quite chaotic.

As a Primordial Spirit Stage expert, he had no real ability to protect himself; unless he reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he would only be a minor expert in some small city, barely able to protect himself.

And this was only in small places.

In the region where Baiyang Laodao's Shangqing Sect was located in the Upper Realm, although it was not a large domain, in the immortal cultivation cities where the Shangqing Sect was located, even True Immortals were not the strongest, and could only barely be considered experts of a region.

Above the Earth Immortal Realm are Heavenly Immortals, and only after Heavenly Immortals are there True Immortals, and each level has nine tiers.

At the Primordial Spirit Stage, one is truly worth less than a dog in the Upper Realm.

Understanding the situation in the Upper Realm, Su Fan's desire to ascend naturally faded quite a bit.

He did not need to be like other Primordial Spirit Stage cultivators who had slow cultivation and few resources in the Lower Realm; at worst, he could travel to other worlds to plan for subsequent cultivation resources.

Furthermore, the resources he currently had on his person were enough for him to cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Thus, he could also stay in the Zixiao Sect with peace of mind.

And by slowly accumulating the Qi of Luck, if he did not ascend, he would open the next world; he had no interest in going to the Swallowing Star World for the time being.

After all, Luo Feng had already headed to the core territory of the Virtual Universe Company, and his net worth was perhaps comparable to those World Lords.

But if he truly dared to expose his own net worth, he would likely not be far from death.

The Swallowing Star World was very high and very large, and his cultivation was simply insufficient to support him in "roaming"; as for seeking opportunities, his cultivation was even more insufficient.

He knew there were many good places, but the key was that he could not go.

For some slightly inferior places, he would also need to go there; he had enough money to buy those treasures.

Therefore, at present, his cultivation made the Swallowing Star World somewhat of a "chicken rib" to him; as for cultivating in the Swallowing Star World, he was not a person of the origin of the Swallowing Star World.

Trying to comprehend the Laws was much more difficult than for the locals.

It was better to stay in the Main World instead.

This was also the reason why he had not moved to go to the Swallowing Star World again in these years; the Swallowing Star World was too unfriendly to his current cultivation.

If his cultivation reached the Immortal Level, then he could attempt to go to many places.

It was a pity that he was too low, but Su Fan was not in a hurry.

Going to the Swallowing Star World once consumed too much, and he would not go unless necessary.

It was better to develop the next world instead; even if it were inferior to the Swallowing Star World, it did not matter to Su Fan.

On the contrary, the Swallowing Star World was also very dangerous.

If it were not for the fact that Su Fan was initially on Earth, it would have been truly dangerous; the universe was truly dangerous, and it was very normal for a planet to suddenly encounter a cannon blast and be blown into fragments.

Why were there so many slaves on Qiu Long Star? Was it not because the natives of many life planets were discovered and then captured?

The reason Earth was able to survive was thanks to that fallen Immortal Level powerhouse of Yunmo Planet, who used a Divine Soul secret technique to conceal it.

That is why Earth appears very safe.

Su Fan's cultivation level, even in a primary Empire, is an extremely weak existence; he had been hiding on Earth before, so it was peaceful.

But after leaving Earth, Su Fan actually has a very strong sense of security crisis.

This is also the reason he left the Swallowing Star World.

In the previous few worlds, he did not have this feeling; the Swallowing Star World's level is too high.
