A mortal who has been a god for eight hundred years takes Han Li as his disciple!

"To me, your words are like trying to fool a cultivator with a candied hawthorn. They hold absolutely no appeal, so you may die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Changsheng raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the misty figure in front of him.

Crackling sounds!

Instantly, a pale golden arc of lightning shot out from the tip of his index finger, instantly annihilating the misty figure in front of him without leaving a trace.

After confirming several times that there was only dense demonic energy and nothing left behind, Zhao Changsheng left with a disappointed expression.

Even after leaving, Zhao Changsheng planned to completely seal off this place.

This place is only suitable for those who cultivate demonic arts. Cultivating other arts is of little use and may even lead to the corruption of demonic energy, which could have a great impact on oneself.

When Nangong Que saw Zhao Changsheng emerge unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Changsheng's words had really frightened her.

"Senior, you're finally out."

In fact, what Nangong Que wanted to ask was whether Zhao Changsheng had gained anything this time.

However, Zhao Changsheng was certain he wouldn't answer that question, so she changed the subject.

"Hmm. Prepare some materials to completely seal this place up. Ideally, it should be connected to the spatial rift here, completely sealing it off as a forbidden zone. No one is allowed to set foot here. Anyone who dares to enter will die."

He nodded and gave the orders. Although Nangong Que was a little surprised by Zhao Changsheng's orders, he still obediently agreed.

"I understand, senior. Please rest assured, I will make preparations as soon as I leave."

Although reluctant, Nangong Que had no other choice but to obey.

"Alright, let's go."

Zhao Changsheng was quite satisfied with Nangong Que's answer, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Changsheng took Nangong Que with him and they left the basin, and after leaving the basin and that mountain peak...

Zhao Changsheng then separated from Nangong Que to search for the Spirit Candle Fruit on his own. Although it was not yet ripe, Zhao Changsheng had specifically asked Han Li for a few drops of the liquid from the small green bottle before coming here.

It was also preserved using a secret method, which greatly extended the time, so there was no need to worry about the expiration date being only a few days.

This method has been tested and there is absolutely no need to worry about any problems.

Although even a mature Spirit Candle Fruit is almost useless to Zhao Changsheng, the ancient beast guarding the Spirit Candle Fruit is still useful to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Given Zhao Changsheng's situation, it's highly likely that he will ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future.

Who knows, we might need it someday.

Whether it was good luck or not, Zhao Changsheng got to see the Spirit Candle Fruit in just half a month.

At this moment, there was a lake several tens of feet in front of him, with a patch of silt exposed above the water in the middle. On it grew a vibrant green spiritual herb, which was only one or two meters tall.

It has oval leaves about the size of a thumb, and at the very top of this spiritual herb grow several strange fruits, fiery red in color, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and emitting a faint glow like a red candle.

Most importantly, it also has an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but smile. Although it wasn't mature yet, Zhao Changsheng believed that as long as he dripped the Dew of Creation from the small green bottle onto the roots, it would mature soon.

What he had to do was pick the Spirit Candle Fruit, swallow it whole, and refine it to improve his cultivation to some extent.

However, now is not the time to take action, because he needs to deal with the ancient beast guarding the Spirit Candle Fruit.

After confirming that there were no problems, Zhao Changsheng began to investigate with his divine sense.

This time, Zhao Changsheng did not investigate again and again, but only investigated for a short while before slashing his palm towards the lake surface.

The lake was instantly split in two, as if the world had been created.

After they separated, they saw the ancient beast hidden at the bottom of the lake.

This ancient beast was extremely ugly, resembling a pile of rotten flesh, so black that it made people frown. It was covered with holes and bumps of all sizes, much like a toad.

Most importantly, this ancient beast had no organs other than its eyeballs.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but recall the ancient demon's fragmented soul that he had just annihilated.

That's pretty much the case.

Once he had clearly identified his target, Zhao Changsheng did not hesitate at all.

With a thought, he immediately manipulated the lake water that he had split open.

Under Zhao Changsheng's control of his divine sense, the lake water transformed into a giant, pale blue axe, which cleaved horizontally towards the ancient beast.

With a deafening roar, the ancient beast didn't even have time to dodge before it was cleaved in two.

After the ancient beast was killed, Zhao Changsheng extracted what he wanted from its body.

A demon core radiating black and white light.

Upon seeing the demon core, Zhao Changsheng's smile deepened.

Then, Zhao Changsheng looked at the Spirit Candle Fruit that he had specially protected with his divine sense.

In a moment, the lake surface calmed down and returned to normal, and Zhao Changsheng dripped the green liquid he had brought onto the base of the Spirit Candle Fruit.

After doing all this, Zhao Changsheng began to set up several layers of restrictions around him to prevent anyone from disturbing him.

After finishing, Zhao Changsheng stared intently at the Spirit Candle Fruit, using his divine sense to carefully examine every single change.

I hope to glean some insight from it.

Regardless, he is now a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

An entity capable of manipulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

To his regret, even though the Spirit Candle Fruit had been ripened artificially.

He still couldn't sense any usefulness from it.

Therefore, the only option is to pick it, swallow it raw, and refine it.

Perhaps it was because he ate too much at once, but Zhao Changsheng found himself seemingly entering a dream world.

In this illusion, he saw himself wielding an extremely powerful divine ability, one whose manipulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was several times stronger than his own.

Furthermore, the range of spiritual energy mobilized from heaven and earth has expanded by more than three times.

Just as Zhao Changsheng was preparing to learn from his own actions in the illusion, the illusion suddenly shattered like a broken mirror and disappeared.

Zhao Changsheng opened his eyes, but this time they were filled with confusion, yet also with a hint of surprise.

"It seems that as long as you eat enough, this Spirit Candle Fruit can be useful even for Nascent Soul cultivators."

After muttering to himself, the blank look in Zhao Changsheng's eyes disappeared, replaced by unexpected joy.

However, to Zhao Changsheng's regret, this stuff only works the first time.

The second time won't be as effective.

Therefore, even if Zhao Changsheng continued to force the ripening process, it would be of little use.

"It's time to find Lingmiao Garden!"

After letting out a long sigh, Zhao Changsheng returned to normal and got up to leave.

Zhao Changsheng has not only improved his cultivation level, but he also sensed that he has entered the next realm.

He believed that if he could find the Spirit Garden as he wished, he would surely be able to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Once he successfully breaks through to this realm, given his lifespan, reaching the Great Perfection of the late Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time.

This is without having completed the system tasks. If he completes a few more tasks, he will surely cultivate even faster.

Therefore, Zhao Changsheng's smile never faded throughout the journey.

However, he was even more eager to find Lingmiao Garden.

Unfortunately, even after searching for half a year and meeting many people, he still couldn't find Lingmiao Garden.

During this period, the number of cultivators in Fallen Demon Valley did not increase; on the contrary, it decreased. It wasn't that no cultivators came; quite a few actually came.

However, due to their lack of strength, they died even faster.

Those who came before were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and there were even quite a few mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Each of them can be described as having great supernatural powers, and many Nascent Soul cultivators have methods to deal with spatial rifts.

Therefore, the survival rate is higher. However, even though most of the cultivators who came later were still in the Nascent Soul stage, there were still quite a few in the Core Formation stage undergoing repair.

The reason is that the price to enter the Fallen Demon Valley teleportation array has changed and become lower.

This also made some wealthy Core Formation stage cultivators who were at a bottleneck in their cultivation journey start to have designs on it.

They planned to venture into the Fallen Demon Valley to gather medicinal herbs.

The reason they were willing to take such a great risk to enter the Fallen Demon Valley was not because the price had changed, but because the items brought out by the cultivators who had survived the Fallen Demon Valley were truly tempting.

Some are rare and precious medicinal herbs that are hard to find in the outside world for thousands of years, while others are rare treasures from ancient cultivators, as well as elixirs and various precious materials.

Therefore, no matter what it is?

But whenever it appears, it causes quite a stir.

At the same time, it also caused considerable chaos in the cultivation world of Tiannan.

Especially outside the Fallen Demon Valley, large and small battles were constantly taking place.

Some powerful cultivators believed that it was better to wait outside the Fallen Demon Valley and kill the intruders to steal their treasures than to risk entering it.

This is especially true for those independent cultivators.

They basically teamed up and waited for the cultivators who came out of the Fallen Demon Valley.

The cultivators who dared to enter the Fallen Demon Valley were originally quite strong, but after leaving the valley, they were all more or less injured, some even suffering severe damage to their vital energy.

In this situation, if they were to be besieged again, it would be a certain death sentence. This is the source of confidence for those cultivators outside who choose to kill and plunder.

Cheng Tiankun was helpless in this situation, since Zhao Changsheng hadn't come out, and there was nothing he could do.

They could only turn a blind eye to the teleportation array and collect the teleportation fees.

Even so, the number of cultivators wanting to enter the Fallen Demon Valley is increasing.

That is, the level of understanding is getting lower and lower.
