That night, the Family Su cultivators and the upper echelons of the dynasty gathered in the city.
Su Fang used his supreme control ability and merged some spiritual items into spiritual water. With the help of a formation, he forcefully cleansed the bodies of tens of thousands of people.
Such a scene had probably never happened before in the Southern Border Continent.
Su Fang was too powerful. In front of him, tens of thousands of people were not cultivators at all. They were just mortal cultivators who had not formed their Golden Cores. It was very easy to control them and cleanse them together.
After several hours of cleansing, most of them had broken through to the Vast Core Realm. For example, Su Xiaolong, Su Yan, Su Yi, and the others were all forming their Golden Cores. Their appearances had also changed a lot. They looked about thirty years old.
After most of them left, only a thousand Family Su cultivators and the true upper echelons of the dynasty remained. Luo Zhongyun was among them.
After letting everyone sit down, Su Fang cleansed their bodies again. He helped them form their Vast Cores and planted a Golden Core imprint in them.
From the next day onwards, Su Junyan, Su Teng, Su Yan, Su Yi, and the other upper echelons of the Family Su all formed their Golden Cores and stepped into the Heavenly Fusion Realm from the Vast Core Realm.
During this period, there were occasional Heavenly Tribulations. These Heavenly Tribulations were like child's play in front of Su Fang. Everyone passed through them easily.
More and more experts formed their Golden Cores. In less than a month, more than a thousand people had successfully formed their Golden Cores. Su Fang also distributed some low-grade magical treasures that surpassed the Heavenly Fusion Realm to everyone.
As for Su Junyan, he was now the next emperor of the Su Dynasty. The future of the Su Dynasty would depend on him. Su Teng, as the Heavenly King Protector, secretly managed the Family Su resources.
Here.
Su Fang left behind a rune and a high-grade magical treasure.
Su Junyan and Su Teng could not activate the high-grade magical treasure. However, with the rune left behind by Su Fang, they could activate the power of the high-grade magical treasure.
In the Nanjiang Continent, high-grade magical treasures were invincible. The Su Dynasty had the boundary of the dojo, puppets, and so many Golden Core experts. With the high-grade magical treasures, they had surpassed any force in history. Even if the Immortals and Imperishable experts of the Crimson Sky Continent came, they would not be able to shake the Su Dynasty.
Even a Yang Soul cultivator would not be able to threaten him.
Su Junyan felt that they should choose a younger clansman to be the emperor or Su Teng to take over the throne. However, Su Yaotian felt that the dynasty needed stability as it was currently being rebuilt. Thus, he insisted on letting Su Yaotian rule the dynasty. It wouldn't be too late to choose an emperor after the dynasty succeeded. Su Teng secretly controlled the Family Su resources and was unable to manage the dynasty.
Like Luo Zhongyun, he also became a Heavenly Union Realm expert. Most likely, not long later, he would be conferred as a duke by the Su Dynasty, overseeing a region.
Vassals.
When Luo Zhongyun had once served Tianmen Province in Nightmare Cave, his greatest goal had probably been to become a cave master.
After doing all this, he waited for another half a year.
The dozen or so junior commanders returned one after another. They had already wiped out all the Night Spirit Society members in the southern border except for the areas near the depths of the Dark Forest.
It was estimated that he had killed no less than fifty thousand evil cult members, all of whom were ordinary cultivators.
After the junior commander returned, Su Fang immediately passed down the order.
Su Yaotian brought more than a hundred young Family Su disciples with him. Su Junyan led tens of thousands of people out of the capital city and sent them off with their gazes.
Along the way, all the family members except Su Yaotian were sucked into the Flaming Cloud Spirit Gourd.
He also released his consciousness and planted alchemy techniques in everyone's minds. Currently, they were allowed to cultivate alchemy techniques in the Flaming Cloud Spirit Gourd. When they returned to the Spirit Mist World, they would more or less be able to master some alchemy techniques.
Su Yaotian was also very curious about alchemy techniques, especially the Impotence Pill. This was because he had taken it before. Every time he took one, his cultivation would improve. Now, he had already stepped into the Immortality Realm.
Southern Border.
The two of them flew over on their swords and stared at the vast mountains and precipitous ridges. Su Yaotian said, "When the dynasty was first established, apart from King Ming and some small factions, this Southern Border was the most mysterious place."
Along the way, they could clearly sense some poisonous gas from the Night Spirit Society.
Many cities had turned into ruins, and the continent of Southern Border was also deathly silent. However, there were some human auras near the borders of the Hidden Forest.
Dao Wuliang, Shu Shuai, and a few Big Goblin Foxes rushed out to welcome the two of them when they arrived at the Hidden Forest.
They were worried that Su Yaotian would not be able to adapt to the demonic aura world, so they let him enter the Flaming Cloud Spirit Gourd to cultivate first.
The interior of the Hidden Forest was similar to the first time Su Fang came here. However, this time, Su Fang could clearly see the entire Hidden Forest's array formation. There were about 30 Big Goblin resting here, and less than 10 foxes.
Dao Wuliang led Su Fang to a natural cave in the deepest part of the forest.
The most powerful Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch was sitting cross-legged in the cave. When she saw Su Fang, she asked Dao Wuliang and Shu Shuai to sit down together.
"The entire Southern Border was swept by the Night Spirit Society in a short period of time. I was in seclusion at that time. When I discovered that the continent was filled with the evil aura, I sent my elites out of the Southern Border. They fought with a leader of the Night Spirit Society and were severely injured by me. Only then did the true elites of the Night Spirit Society temporarily withdraw from the Southern Border Continent. They used other methods to pass through the Dark Forest. Currently, they're probably somewhere in the Crimson Nimbus Continent to rebuild their forces."
Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch went straight to the point and roughly told Su Fang about how the Night Spirit Society was attacked in the Southern Border.
Dao Wuliang sneered. "Actually, you and I know that leader."
"We know each other." Su Fang just realized why there weren't any powerful Night Spirit Society elites in the Southern Border. It turned out that Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch was secretly protecting this world.
At this moment, he opened his eyes wide and waited for Dao Wuliang to explain.
"The leader of the Night Spirit Society is a Demon Dao elite. He's the One-horned Demon Venerable that you and I met in the Dark Forest."
"The One-horned Demon Venerable that you and I met twice."
"That's the one. He's very powerful to be able to leave the Southern Border alive."
"I didn't expect him to be the One-horned Demon Venerable."
Su Fang was shocked when he heard that.
The One-horned Demon Venerable appeared on the continent during the upheaval. Later on, he accidentally escaped from the seal in the Dark Forest. However, Su Fang had always thought that the One-horned Demon Venerable wasn't that powerful.
Being able to leave the Southern Border alive meant that even Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch didn't have the strength to kill him.
How powerful was Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch?
She was at least as strong as the Sky Drill Rat Emperor and as strong as the Nine Segment Earth Dragon. Each of them was stronger than Grand Elder Xiao Yun.
They couldn't kill a One-horned Demon Venerable.
Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch warned the three of them, "The Night Spirit Society has secretly established forces in many places in the Zhuo Tian Realm. If you meet their true experts in the future, you have to be very careful. They can't be killed."
Su Fang shivered. "Senior, I don't understand why they can't be killed."
"That One-horned Demon Venerable you speak of is only at the Winged Transformation realm. However, his blood poison is difficult to suppress. Most importantly, no matter how much you injure his body, you can't kill him. He should have used God Descent. In reality, his body was cut in two. Back then, he was thought to be dead, but he was unexpectedly revived in another body. That's why he escaped from the Southern Border."
"I have fought with the Night Spirit Society several times. Their God Descent is indeed terrifying. Their Yang Nascent Soul is very powerful, but I have never seen that kind of evil resurrection technique. I still vaguely remember that a Night Spirit Society expert said that they have an immortal divine ability. Could it be that they really can't die?"
"There is no immortal in this world. Even immortals can fall. All these signs indicate that the Night Spirit Society is not simple. You have to be more careful in the future. I think the Night Spirit Society will stir up an evil storm in the Zhuo Tian Realm." Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch disappeared after she finished speaking.
"Grandmother is going into seclusion to achieve the final transformation."
Dao Wuliang led Su Fang to a valley.
After resting for a few days, Su Fang proposed to leave the Southern Border. Dao Wuliang and Shu Shuai also agreed.
The three of them left the Hidden Forest and arrived above the Dark Forest.
They were about to cross the Dark Forest again when Dao Wuliang and Shu Shuai noticed that Su Fang was not moving. "What's wrong?"
Su Fang said coldly, "I want to obtain more of the Zhuo Tian Realm's origin energy and become the World Lord. This Dark Forest has so much world origin energy. I want to take it."
"You want to make a move on the Dark Forest?"
Dao Wuliang clenched his teeth. "The Dark Forest is very mysterious. Even Grandmother is wary of it. If you really want to take it, you should communicate with Grandmother first."
It would be best if he could get Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch's help.
Under Dao Wuliang's urging, a thought was transmitted. It was Dao Zhen Fox Matriarch. "There is indeed a very frightening world origin energy under the Dark Forest. It even surpasses the Tianhu Domain."
"Senior, this junior has already obtained some of the Zhuo Tian Realm's origin energy by chance. If I can obtain the Dark Forest's world origin energy, this junior is very confident that he will become the Zhuo Tian Realm's Realm Lord in the future."
"It seems like you have made up your mind. Then listen carefully. The Dark Forest is actually a disciple of the current Zhuo Tian Realm's Realm Lord. His name is Master Heiyun."
"The Realm Lord's disciple, Master Heiyun."
So the Dark Forest was a forbidden area built by the Realm Lord's disciple. No wonder it was so frightening.
"Master Heiyun's cultivation is very high. He has already reached the peak of mortal cultivation. He can ascend to the great world at any time and become an immortal. Of course, in the small world, there are also humans with cultivation like him. However, he is the Realm Lord's disciple. He can control the power of the Zhuo Tian Realm. His strength is already at the level of an immortal."
"If you want to take the Dark Forest, it is not impossible. However, you must at least have the strength to deal with Master Heiyun. If not, you will offend him. When you return to the Zhuo Tian Realm in the future, he will sense you and you will have nowhere to hide."
"My suggestion is that you can take the Dark Forest. However, it is best to wait until you are stronger, or until you obtain more world origin energy. Only then will you be able to contend with Master Heiyun's world power. If you are unable to contend with him in terms of world power, then you are destined to be no match for him."
"Master Heiyun has been hiding here for hundreds of thousands of years. He has been cultivating the world origin energy and fusing with the Zhuo Tian Realm. He should be trying to obtain the Realm Lord's inheritance and become the next Zhuo Tian Realm's new Realm Lord. This person is ruthless and tyrannical. After establishing the Dark Forest, he can only let cultivators walk through the forest. No cultivators are allowed to forcefully fly through the forest.
Daozhen Fox Mother revealed the secret of the Dark Forest word by word to Su Fang.
Su Fang could more or less sense Master Heiyun's strength from the strong cultivators inside the Dark Forest.
He is the disciple of the Zhuo Tian Realm Lord. He must have Thunder methods. Otherwise, how could he make the cultivators of the small world respect him?
"Junior will not have any ideas about the Dark Forest for now. When junior becomes stronger, junior will deal with Master Heiyun."
Su Fang gratefully sent off Daozhen Fox Mother's thought.
"How can a cultivator be so calm in the hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation? He has already ascended to the great world. This Master Heiyun is indeed not simple."
"Then I will wait until I obtain the world origin energy in the Tian Gourd Realm. When I become stronger, I will have any ideas about the Dark Forest."
In the end, after discussing with Dao Wuliang and Shu Shuai, the two found out that this was the territory of the Realm Lord's disciple. Only then did they truly fear the Dark Forest.
They did not know before, so they were not afraid.
They could only go around the Dark Forest. They had offended the forest before. This time, they did not have the confidence to force their way in.
Activating the Instant Space Ring, Su Fang began to try his best to fly to the right.
It took him half a day to go around the Dark Forest and return to the Crimson Firmament Continent.
