Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 398: Battle
That mysterious tree root not only successfully re-rooted and sprouted, but has now grown as tall as a person.
Its branches are tall and straight, full of vitality.
The branches of this small tree are a deep, dark black, as if steeped in ink.
But its leaves are completely different, a pure white-gold.
The entire small tree emits a faint white light, looking very sacred.
Most importantly, the presence of this small tree has actually increased the Immortal Qi concentration in the entire Medicine Valley by several times.
"So it’s the Life Fruit Tree."
Fang Hong circled the small tree, carefully observing it for a moment, and recognized its origin.
He had seen relevant records in the sect’s ancient texts and was deeply impressed by this legendary Immortal Tree.
The Life Fruit is a rare Immortal Fruit between heaven and earth, containing incredibly powerful Life Immortal Essence.
If a Cultivator can refine a Life Fruit, he can condense Life law meridians within his physical body.
Moreover, the Life Fruit is also a sacred medicine for healing.
No matter how severe the injury a Cultivator’s physical body suffers, or how great the damage his soul encounters, as long as he can eat a Life Fruit in time, he can instantly repair the damage.
This Life Fruit is simply the perfect Immortal Fruit to cope with the Heavenly Fire Tribulation.
Previously, Fang Hong was subtly worried about the Heavenly Fire Tribulation he would face when ascending to Immortal King.
After all, the power of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation is terrifying, specifically burning the Cultivator’s soul. A slight carelessness could lead to soul damage, or even Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, suffering eternal damnation.
But now, with this Life Fruit Tree, Fang Hong’s worries instantly vanished, and his confidence greatly increased.
As long as he waits for the Life Fruit to mature, even facing the fierce Heavenly Fire Tribulation, there will be nothing to fear.
However, the growth cycle of the Life Fruit Tree is somewhat long; it takes a full five thousand years to bear mature fruit.
Fortunately, Fang Hong possesses a years pearl. According to the cultivation speed within the years pearl, he only needs to wait another two years for the Life Fruit to mature.
This amount of time is not long for Fang Hong, and he is not in a hurry.
Now that Fang Hong’s strength has greatly improved, it is time to go to the Ancient Demon Continent for experience, collect resources, and seek more Opportunities.
Fang Hong exited the years pearl space, directly used the Void Secret Technique, and left Demon Island.
Arriving at the sea, Fang Hong immediately unfurled his Swift Wind Wings and sped towards the Ancient Demon Continent.
The Swift Wind Wings were extremely fast. In less than half an incense stick’s time, Fang Hong had already arrived above the Ancient Demon Continent.
Standing high in the sky and looking down, the first impression the entire Ancient Demon Continent gave was one of gloom and oppression.
Above the sky, dark clouds were dense, layers of black clouds obscuring the sunlight, shrouding the entire continent in a dim light.
The mountains and trees below all presented a dull tone, without a trace of vibrant life.
The overall environment was dead silent, truly a Demonic Land.
The Immortal Qi concentration in the air was noticeably low; on the contrary, the demonic qi here was exceptionally abundant.
demonic qi, like black smoke, could be seen everywhere, permeating and wandering in the air, emitting a cold and eerie aura.
These demonic qi were by no means ordinary. They were demonic qi left over from ancient times, after the Ancient Demon from beyond the heavens invaded the Immortal Realm and engaged in a great battle with Immortal Realm Cultivators.
For ordinary Cultivators, these demonic qi were a deadly poison.
If too much was inhaled, it was very likely that the dark power contained within would erode their minds, causing them to lose their true nature.
Ultimately, they would become delirious, degenerating into brutal Ancient Demons who only knew slaughter, completely beyond redemption.
But for Cultivators who had cultivated Demonic Technique for a long time, or had comprehended the Dark Law, these dangerous demonic qi would not only not harm them, but would also help them improve their Demonic Technique cultivation more quickly.
It is precisely because of this that the Ancient Demon Continent has attracted a large number of Demonic Path Cultivators to come for experience, and many even choose to reside here permanently.
The Ancient Demon Continent not only has abundant demonic qi, but also various mutated Demonic Beasts and Ancient Demons. For Demonic Cultivators, this is a rare treasure land for Cultivation.
Fang Hong had already cultivated Demonic Technique and refined Dark law meridians, giving him a strong affinity for demonic qi.
Therefore, he had no need to worry about the erosion of demonic qi and could freely enter and exit the Ancient Demon Continent.
Upon entering the Ancient Demon Continent this time, Fang Hong already had a plan in mind and sped directly towards the central area of the Ancient Demon Continent.
Before coming to the Ancient Demon Continent, Fang Hong had already inquired clearly that this continent has clear regional divisions, divided into two main parts: the Edge Zone and the Central Zone.
Among them, the Edge Zone is also known as the Safe Zone by various Demonic Cultivators and is the main place for many low-rank Demonic Cultivators to gain experience.
The demonic qi concentration here is relatively low, and the demonic nature in the air is not violent.
The Demonic Beasts and Ancient Demons entrenched here are mostly at the True Immortal and Golden Immortal levels, and their strength is not top-tier.
For low-rank Cultivators who come for experience, it is relatively safe. As long as they do not actively provoke groups of Demonic Beasts, there is generally no danger to their lives.
As one continuously delves deeper into the Ancient Demon Continent, after crossing millions of miles of territory, one will officially enter the Central Zone.
The environment in this area is completely different from the Edge Zone. The closer one gets to the central area, the denser the demonic qi in the air becomes.
It almost condenses into visible black mist, and even inhaling a single breath can make a Human Immortal’s aperture tremble.
This is also the stronghold of Grand Unity Realm Demonic Beasts and Ancient Demons, where one might encounter powerful Demonic Beasts at any time, making it extremely dangerous.
Even Cultivators whose cultivation has reached the Grand Unity Realm must proceed with caution after entering the Central Zone.
Otherwise, a slight carelessness could lead to a surprise attack by a Grand Unity Demonic Beast, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao.
Fang Hong, however, did not have such concerns. With his current strength, he no longer put ordinary Grand Unity Demonic Beasts in his eyes.
He even wished that all the Grand Unity Demonic Beasts on the continent would come to besiege him.
This way, he could capture all these Demonic Beasts in one fell swoop, feed them all to the demon gourd to refine into Immortal Pills, saving him the trouble of searching everywhere and greatly reducing time.
Of course, Fang Hong was not arrogant.
If he encountered a more formidable Immortal King Demonic Beast, even if he was not its match, with various Immortal Arts and Immortal Artifacts, he was confident he could retreat safely.
With these thoughts, Fang Hong continued to fly towards the Central Zone. Along the way, he encountered many Golden Immortal Demonic Beasts.
These Demonic Beasts, sensing someone intruding into their territory, all revealed their ferocious faces, roaring and pouncing.
But facing these Golden Immortal Rank Demonic Beasts, Fang Hong merely casually struck, slaughtering them all.
Even if these Golden Immortal Demonic Beasts were fed to the demon gourd and refined into Immortal Pills, the improvement effect for Fang Hong’s current cultivation was not significant.
So Fang Hong would not bother to seek trouble with these Demonic Beasts.
Only Grand Unity Realm Demonic Beasts were his target.
The Laws contained within Grand Unity Demonic Beasts are more abundant, and the Immortal Pills refined from them can rapidly improve cultivation.
