Chapter 10: The Barren Forest

The place where they are now is a barren forest between the territory of the beast clan and the territory of the demon clan. The barren forests stretch for millions of miles, among which there are hundreds of millions of spirit beasts, fierce beasts, and demon beasts, and there are even terrifying existences comparable to the supreme strength of the human race. The beast race and the demon race are originally of the same origin, and the beasts are divided into three categories: spirit beasts, fierce beasts, and demon beasts. After the demon beast enlightens the wisdom, it is mainly cultivated and becomes a demon clan, while the fierce beast is a beast that cannot open the spiritual intelligence, fierce and powerful, extremely fast, and cruel in nature, and it is also the existence with the largest number in the barren forest.

Even if the crape myrtle supreme only dares to travel and adventure on the edge of the barren forest when it is at the peak of its strength, with the current strength of the crape myrtle supreme and Ye Fan, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to get out of the barren forest. If it weren't for the Ziwei Supreme who laid out a concealment array in front of the cave early and concealed the breath of the cave and the two of them, otherwise the two would have been found by many fierce beasts and torn to pieces to become food.

Ziwei Supreme explained the current situation to Ye Fan, and immediately taught Ye Fan the cultivation techniques of Xuantian Sect, and told Ye Fan not to step out of the cave half a step before he reached the foundation building period, Ye Fan had never cultivated before, even an insect in this place could kill Ye Fan, and only when Ye Fan reached the foundation building period could he barely move around this cave.

Ziwei Supreme is a primordial state that does not need to eat, just absorb spiritual energy to nourish, but Ye Fan is still a mortal fetus in the flesh and needs to eat. Fortunately, the trees near the cave are dense and deep, there are many spiritual energy fruits that are special to the beast clan star field, and there are also many low-level fierce beasts, and the crape myrtle supreme can be easily hunted with the ban of the magic circle. Therefore, Ye Fan's diet is also worry-free, he only needs to cultivate in the cave with peace of mind.

The aura fruit is not a cherished thing in the fairy world, but it is a specialty of the beast clan's star field. The cultivation of the beast clan mainly relies on the power of bloodline inheritance, and there is not much demand for those herbs, spiritual qi fruits, spirit stones, etc., and they are usually only used to exchange pills with the human race. Therefore, the elixir and aura fruit can be seen everywhere in the barren forest, and the aura fruit can often be eaten among the human race, but there is no one like Ye Fan who feeds on the aura fruit every day, and Ye Fan can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Ziwei Supreme even combined the bones of those fierce beasts with rare herbs to refine the body and quench the medicinal bath, so that Ye Fan soaked and quenched his body every day to strengthen his body.

Ye Fan has been cultivating in the cave for two years, and finally entered the foundation building period to cultivate, which can be regarded as entering the threshold of cultivating immortals. After entering the foundation building period, Ziwei Supreme taught Ye Fan various martial arts, identifying medicinal herbs, alchemy techniques, magic circle mysteries, divine consciousness cultivation methods, and methods of concealing aura. Let Ye Fan go out of the cave every day to perceive the location of the surrounding fierce beasts with his divine sense, judge the level of the fierce beasts, hide his breath to avoid high-level fierce beasts, and use the magic circle to hunt low-level fierce beasts.

Especially in the cultivation of divine consciousness, people in the immortal realm often only practice divine consciousness after the primordial infancy. Because it is extremely difficult to get started with the cultivation of divine consciousness and consumes true qi, it is simply impossible to afford the loss of true qi using divine consciousness without a primordial infant or above. The so-called divine consciousness is actually the control and use of spiritual power, and the control of spiritual power through the power of one's own true qi can observe places that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

The lowest-level fierce beast in the barren forest is equivalent to the cultivation of the human foundation building period, which is equivalent to Ye Fan's realm at this time. Rao is like this, Ye Fan is also a life-and-death fight every time he hunts, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, every time I hunt, I concentrate on it, and I don't dare to be careless. It is this that is of great benefit to the cultivation of the divine consciousness. In addition, there are only two masters and apprentices here, and Ye Fan has no distractions but can concentrate more on cultivation.

It's just that Ye Fan is the same thing every day, studying, cultivating, refining, hunting, it's really boring. After another five years, Ye Fan's cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building, and he can enter the Jindan Avenue in one step.

At this time, Ye Fan was already proficient in hunting fierce beasts, even if he could kill fierce beasts of the same level without using the magic circle with his physical martial arts, the cooperation of the magic circle was also more skilled, and he could even hunt high-level fierce beasts. However, Ziwei Supreme always asked Ye Fan to suppress his own cultivation and prevent him from breaking through to the Jindan realm. Ye Fan was puzzled and asked his master why he didn't let him advance to cultivation as soon as possible.

Ziwei Supreme smiled and said: "The foundation building period is the most important part of the path of cultivating immortals, and only by accumulating enough can we go further on the road of cultivating immortals in the future." As a teacher, he practiced on the earth back then, and it took nearly 30 years to break through to Jindan during the foundation building period. My fellow disciples laughed at me for being stupid, and they broke through the foundation and entered Jindan in ten years. But do you know how long Master enters the Yuan Infant Period?

"Master, how long did it take you to enter the Yuan Infant Stage?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Ziwei Supreme smiled lightly and said, "Ten years! It only took ten years to reach the peak realm of Yuanying as a teacher." And only a few of my fellow brothers have entered the Yuan Infant Stage, and their realm is not as good as mine. Most people stop in the golden pill period for life and never break through. Ordinary people blindly pursue cultivation for the realm of improvement, always thinking that the sooner the better, don't you know that a weak foundation will inevitably affect a higher level of cultivation, and when you cultivate to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, you can know that you are a teacher. The foundation built for you by the master is to become the supreme of the immortal realm, or even the higher god realm. The detours you have taken as a teacher will not let you go again!"

Ziwei Supreme's move can be described as painstaking, in fact, there is another reason why she didn't tell Ye Fan. That is, her primordial spirit had been damaged when she returned to the fairy world, and she knew that she would be lost if she couldn't hold on for long. Her time was short, and she decided to arrange a space array for Ye Fan in her lifetime to send him back to Earth. At most, his Yuan Shen can last for a hundred years, and with Ye Fan's cultivation speed at this time, even if he is a genius, he is at most an Earth Immortal Realm. Ye Fan used the earth immortal cultivation to get out of this wild forest, it can be said that there is no life, it is better to return to the earth to cultivate safely. Moreover, the earth is the ancestral star of the human race, and he may have an adventure if he has the opportunity to do so.

Restricted by the Heavenly Dao of the Earth, if Ye Fan's cultivation speed exceeds the Yuan Infant Stage too quickly, when he returns to the Earth, he will reduce his cultivation to the Yuan Infant Stage, which will be very ineffective for his future cultivation. Therefore, she consciously slowed down Ye Fan's cultivation speed, and did her best to teach his auxiliary skills such as formation, divine sense, and alchemy, so that he could have more means to save his life. With Ye Fan's talent and the foundation he had laid for him, as long as he didn't die halfway, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the immortal realm to become a generation of supremes.

Ye Fan knew that everything his master did was for his good, so he felt at ease to follow his master's cultivation and study every day, and in his spare time, he looked for fairy grass and spirit stones in the forest to pick spiritual energy fruits, and his life was boring and fulfilling. It wasn't until that day that Ye Fan inadvertently saved the injured Ling'er that Ye Fan's life changed.

When she first rescued Ling'er, she couldn't transform into a human form, just a demon beast nine-tailed spirit fox, but she could also follow Ye Fan around the cave every day, hunting and playing. Ziwei Supreme also loves Ling'er very much, and refined some elixirs to open the demon beast's consciousness for Ling'er to take, helping her awaken her bloodline inheritance as soon as possible. As long as the Ling'er bloodline inheritance is awakened, Ling'er will also practice the bloodline heart method of the clan without being taught by others, but some high-level heart methods need to be taught by the elders of the clan to maximize the power of the bloodline of the clan.

It's just that why Ling'er appeared in the barren forest, Ziwei Supreme couldn't figure it out. The Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox Clan is one of the largest races in the Demon Clan, and its group has been living in the Qingqiu Star Domain in the hinterland of the Demon Clan.

Time passed, and thirty years passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Fan finally entered the Jindan period. Thinking that Ziwei Supreme entered the Jindan in the earth for thirty years, although the aura of the earth three thousand years ago was much more abundant than the aura of the earth now, it was dozens of times different from the immortal realm. It can be seen that Ye Fan's thirty years of foundation foundation in the immortal world is many times deeper than that of the Ziwei Supreme back then.

In the past thirty years, the power of Ling'er's own bloodline has also been awakened, but when he woke up, he really scared everyone, because Ling'er's cultivation is the realm of the spirit demon realm, which is equivalent to the realm of human primordial infants. It was one level higher than Ye Fan, who had already entered the Jindan stage at that time, which showed how powerful the power of Ling'er's bloodline was, and even Ziwei Supreme was amazed by the power of Ling'er's bloodline.

The cultivation levels of the demon clan before they became demon immortals were divided into, and the three levels of enlightenment, demon pill, and spirit demon corresponded to the four levels of human cultivation: refinement, foundation building, golden pill, and yuan infant. Ling'er becomes a spirit demon, and the next step is to be promoted to a demon fairy and become a demon queen. Ziwei Supreme intended to let Ling'er become Ye Fan's assistant when he returned to Earth, so he selected a lot of Terran martial arts classics suitable for Ling'er's cultivation in his collection to teach her to cultivate, and taught her the method of suppressing her cultivation so that her cultivation would not improve too quickly.

Ling'er's own bloodline can be awakened to incarnate into a human form, and it is more convenient to cooperate with Ye Fan to hunt fierce beasts, even in the face of fierce beasts equivalent to the infancy of human beings, the two of them can easily kill. The two of them shuttle through the forest every day to hunt fierce beasts, collect spirit fruits, immortal medicines, and collect spirit stones, and their lives can be regarded as free and carefree.

Until the arrival of that day, Ziwei Supreme summoned Ye Fan Ling'er to his side.

"Fan'er, Master's Yuan Shen will soon dissipate, and I won't be able to help you in the future, I have already laid out the Nine Songs Star Shifting Dou Turning Space Formation for my master, and today you and Ling'er will return to the earth!" Ziwei Supreme handed Ye Fan a ring and said, "This is the Ruyi ring, which is refined from Master's Ruyi Hundred Treasure Sachets." The ban has been added for the teacher, and your blood can be connected to your divine consciousness for your use, and the teacher has been in the immortal world for thousands of years, and the things collected are all in it, as well as the elixirs collected over the years, spirit stones, and fierce beast bones, I also put them in it, after you return to the earth, you must be diligent in cultivating and return to the immortal world as soon as possible, accumulate strength to avenge the master, regain the sect from the hands of shameless villains, and revive the glory of my sect!"

Ye Fan took the ring, knowing that it was the time to say goodbye, so he solemnly kowtowed to the master three times. "Please rest assured, the apprentice will not dishonor the master's life!" Before the words fell, thinking about the friendship between teachers and students in the past 60 years, tears had fallen down his cheeks.
