Zhang Yan sat cross-legged within the Skyscreen Vessel while the Nine Terror Devil Vanquishing Slip floated before him, and it emanated strands of gentle, clear, and brilliant light. After it fused with the other Devil Vanquishing Slip, it became even more translucent, and even its intelligence seemed to have increased slightly.
He could feel that this was a qualitative improvement. If he devoured more Demon Slips, there might be a deeper change, and it would bring him more benefits in the future. However, this would require him to find the owners of the other Demon Treasures and seize the items in their hands. Without a doubt, this was another path that encouraged him to kill his peers.
He shook his head slightly. This path was not compatible with him, so he would not take the initiative to do such a thing. However, if one day in the future, someone who also obtained the inheritance of the Demon Treasures came looking for him, he did not mind getting rid of them.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed that not pursuing the Strength Path Root Fruit, or completely abandoning the Strength Path cultivation method and keeping a respectful distance from it would be the safest choice.
However, he wouldn't do that. The path of cultivation naturally coexisted with fortune and danger. Since he'd cultivated this cultivation technique and cultivated it to such an extent, then he'd sowed karma with it, and it was impossible for him to get rid of it easily. Now, he had to think of a way to completely deal with it and not cower in fear.
Moreover, there were countless dangers and difficulties on the path of cultivation. He had convinced himself to avoid it this time, but if he encountered a similar danger next time, would he have to avoid it as well?
If he avoided difficulties and retreated in danger, then he would not be able to go far on the path of Qi Path.
Therefore, this time, not only did he have to rely on his demonic nature to go to that realm and pluck the root fruit, he also had to find a way to cultivate this cultivation method to a higher realm in the future.
Of course, not fearing difficulties did not mean that he did not care about life and death, and facing difficulties did not mean being reckless and impulsive. There was still a need to pay attention to strategy. If he really encountered an opponent that he could not defeat, he would not fight to the death. He could wait until he was strong enough before dealing with them.
He put away the Demon Slip again, calmed his mind, and entered into meditation.
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
On this day, Zhang Yan came out of meditation and looked around. He could feel that the Spirit Qi in the boat was stronger than before, and there were many more living creatures. With the help of the Form Transformation Pill, some of the Demonic cultivators who had gained sentience had taken human form.
However, the number of these people was strictly limited. Although the pill was a great help to their cultivation, it was actually a hindrance to their future cultivation. Once there were more of such Demonic cultivators, the consumption of Spirit Qi would increase, and that would cut off the path of the younger generation.
In truth, there was nothing that could be done about it. Even in a Void Realm where spirit opportunity was abundant, as long as one wasn't short-sighted, they wouldn't allow the number of people with profound cultivation bases to increase endlessly. For example, in the Nine Continents Conference to Mend the Heavens, the number of people who could enter the Heavenly Paradise had been fixed, in order to prevent the spirit opportunity from running out. Currently, the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't need to do that, but in the future, they would find a way to limit the number of people.
In fact, any sect that had a legacy in a Heaven and Earth for a long time would make such a choice, unless they had some other extraordinary means, such as the Yunshu Realm having a precious treasure.
But even the people of the Yunshu Realm did not enjoy the benefits of the dozens of Lower Realms. More than half of the Spirit Qi was absorbed by the precious treasure. From this point of view, they were not the owners of the treasure, but to a certain extent, they were under the control of the treasure. If they wanted to change this situation, they would have to be determined and determined to get rid of it. Otherwise, they would have to face many obstacles on the path of cultivation, and it would not be smooth for them.
After a while, he slowly stood up from the praying mat, a thoughtful expression on his face. Before sitting down, he had planned to wait until the demonic nature was about to find the place where the Root Fruit was. Just Now was the time to come out of seclusion.
Logically speaking, with his cultivation, there shouldn't have been any deviation. However, at this moment, it wasn't the right time for him to reach that place, yet he had woken up early. This should be because he had sensed some unforeseen event, so it was a self-warning. He couldn't ignore this.
There was nothing in the Sky-Scraping Vessel that could threaten him, so if there was any danger, it must have come from outside.
With a thought, he borrowed the body of the Sky-Scraping Vessel to look outside. At first, he did not notice anything strange, but not long after, a large Dharma Raft appeared in his field of vision. It seemed to be floating not far away, and it was moving closer and closer to him.
If it was in a Void Space, this would be a very normal situation, but here, it was extremely wrong.
It should be known that the Primordial Sea of Void was intermittent, and there was no distinction of distance. Flying in this sea of Primordial Sea of Void, unless they were originally in a group, they would definitely not meet each other.
Now that he had not only encountered this Dharma Raft, but it also seemed to be very close to him, there was only one possibility left. This Sky-Scraping Vessel had been captured by a Void Variant, and it had fallen into its stomach. This place was equivalent to an independent Void Space, which was why there was such a scene.
This was not the first time he had encountered such a variant. Previously, when he was crossing the Void on the Kun, he had encountered it. At that time, his cultivation base was still low, so in reality, he could not see anything. He only vaguely felt a boundless existence, and it was impossible to describe its size with words. This time, he could not even sense it, so it was obvious that this Void Creature was more powerful than the last time he encountered it.
This thing could not be killed directly because you could only sense an extremely small part of it. As long as you could not touch its body, you would not be able to harm it even if your magic power was exhausted.
Moreover, the past and the future had long been mixed up here. As long as you had not truly cultivated to the Invincible State, or your cultivation base had not surpassed this thing, you would be trapped here until your spiritual vitality was exhausted, and in the end, you would become a part of its body.
However, after knowing that he had encountered such a situation, Zhang Yan's expression was very calm. Before he came out, he already knew that as long as he traveled in the Void Primordial Sea for a long time, it was very likely that he would encounter such a situation. In particular, it was rare for a Void Creature to detect such a situation in advance. Unless it was born in the Void Primordial Sea, it would unknowingly enter its body, so he had already prepared a plan to deal with it.
However, at this moment, he discovered something else. Even though he was in the body of the Void Creature, the demonic feeling did not disappear. It was still as clear as before. He could not help but speculate that as long as he truly sensed the location of the root fruit, he would be able to leave this place without using any other methods.
However, this was, after all, a risky move. Hence, after thinking about it for a while, he put it aside and decided to use the original method.
However, before that, he wanted to take a look at the spiritual raft. It seemed like this thing was also made by a Taoist cultivator. Perhaps he could follow this clue and find the location of the void creature's birth.
He withdrew his consciousness and came out from the Skysplit Vessel before moving onto the Vessel. He sensed for a moment, yet he didn't notice the existence of any vitality, and it was obvious that it had already been assimilated by the being from the void. Obviously, this being was only interested in living beings, otherwise, this Great Vessel would have ceased to exist.
After a brief examination, there were eighteen palaces and pavilions on the ritual raft. There were also more than a hundred corner towers and courtyards. The equipment was magnificent and solemn. The formation that was originally set up was still intact. However, there was no movement at the moment. This was very normal. All the spiritual vigor here had long been taken away and could no longer be activated.
He flew into the sky and first came to the most spacious hall. He glanced at the jade couch that was placed there and used his mana to try and see the past of this place. Just Now, when he tried to do so, he felt a great obstruction. After thinking about it, he more or less understood the reason. This should be because after the person died, he had merged with the Void Creature. Therefore, he could no longer see the past.
This was not a big deal. There had to be a jade scroll in such a huge carriage. Since the Void Creatures did not destroy this place, these things should have been preserved.
He returned to the outside and looked around. Soon, his gaze landed on a place that looked like a scripture pavilion. He teleported over. However, he did not go far and felt that the consumption of mana was a few times more than before. His eyes flashed. He knew that this should be caused by being in the body of the Void Creature. After all, this was a dangerous place. It was not suitable to stay for long. Since that was the case, he did not want to explore slowly. With a thought, the five-colored light behind him turned and the spiritual raft was kept inside.
Then, he turned around and returned to the Sky-Scraping Spiritual Boat. He reached into his sleeve and took out a glass bottle. He removed the cork and poured out a drop of the blood essence of the Great Kun Ying Gui. He then activated his mana and activated the aura in it.
The Void Creatures were not easy to deal with, but they had a weakness that could be exploited. They were extremely repulsive to their own kind, and they would try their best not to meet each other. With this drop of blood, he would be able to leave this place even if he did not do anything.
Moments later, he felt his body lighten. He tried to circulate his mana and it was not as serious as it was Just Now. This meant that he had escaped from the body of the Void Creature.
He smiled and put away the blood essence. Then, he activated the Sky-Scraping Spiritual Boat and continued to move forward.
Although it was easy for him to deal with it this time, it was all because of the experience left by the predecessors. This was the benefit of having an inheritance. He knew how to deal with this kind of danger. Those who were weaker, even if they were strong, would not be able to deal with the same danger.
He looked back at it. Back then, the Lishan Sect's Ancestral Master Yu Ling did not want to ascend. He went because he wanted to take care of the sect, but he was also worried about the ascension.
The vast Void Primordial Sea was endless. If he was not careful, he would die. He would not even have the chance to reincarnate. It was indeed terrifying, so he should be more careful.
Moreover, this Perfected One was not like the Qincang, Shaoqing, and Yuxiao sects who had the Higher Realm's Receiving Talisman. He dared to take this step in the end because he must have learned many ways to travel through the void from the Yuxiao school. He might even have found another Void Realm, but no one knew where he would end up.
