It's truly unbelievable how one can survive in the Demon Realm and resist the invasion of Demonic Qi.

"We were only able to survive in the outside world thanks to the willow branches given by the Lord of Green Willow."

Zhu Ming took out a small segment of a green branch from his body, which seemed to create a special protective shield that isolated the invasion of external Demonic Qi.

Other human cultivators were the same, all carrying such branches on them.

"Green Willow?"

Jiang Fan raised a brow and continued to inquire further.

He quickly learned what the so-called Green Willow truly was—the guardian of Green Willow Village and the real ace protecting thousands of human cultivators.

It's a willow tree, but it's also a special Heaven and Earth Spirit Plant.

Although the power of demons is terrifying and the invasion of Demonic Qi is omnipresent, ordinary creatures cannot resist it, yet how could the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Ruins Realm just stand by and do nothing?

Throughout the long years of evolution, countless plants rose and fell, cultivating special Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants in the Demon Realm with the ability to counter demons and purify Demonic Qi.

Their growth locations would form absolutely safe areas filled with dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, completely free from the impurities of Demonic Qi invasion.

Humans could also survive very safely in such environments.

These Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants are not only capable of purifying Demonic Qi but also of devouring the flesh of demons, using their flesh as nutrients to promote the growth of the Spirit Plants.

Because of this, Zhu Ming and others would choose to leave Green Willow Village to hunt demons outside.

As long as they bring back these demon corpses and place them in front of the willow tree, the tree can devour the flesh of these demons, leaving uncontaminated flesh behind.

With the willow tree's assistance, the people of Green Willow Village can eat the flesh of demons without any concern.

These demons, for the humans in the Demon Realm, are also considered a source of food.

But if they're unlucky, they could also be killed by the demons.

Over the years, many hunting teams have died at the hands of demons.

"Interesting, such Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants exist in the Demon Realm?"

Jiang Fan was a bit surprised.

No doubt, demons are not absolutely invincible.

Their pollution ability is indeed terrifying, but it is not unsolvable.

Life still holds unimaginable miracles.

Spirit Plants like the willow tree have emerged as a response to such challenges.

"Actually, similar occurrences have appeared in the Void Realm."

"Before the rise of Taixu Sect, the emergence of demons made all races retreat step by step, even the True Spirits retreated to their own territories, causing chaos in the Void Realm."

"During this time, some special Heaven and Earth Spirit Plants also emerged, capable of purifying areas polluted by demons."

"This drove the demons into utter madness, making every effort to destroy these Spirit Plants."

"Of course, they ultimately failed to succeed."

"If the problems hadn't arisen in the Immortal Realm, demons would not have been able to rampage in the Void Realm for such a long time."

The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke solemnly.

It had observed many shadows of the Ancient Era of the Void Realm from the current Spirit Ruins Realm.

The events that occurred once in the Void Realm seem to be replaying during this period.

History is always so similar.

"Sir, could you tell me where you come from?"

Zhu Ming curiously looked at Jiang Fan.

He sensed that this unfamiliar human cultivator before him was incredibly powerful, unmatched even by the village chief of Green Willow Village, as if he were a mighty demon.

Truth be told, he had met many strong individuals from human villages, but none could compare to this human powerhouse.

In fact, he had some vague guesses in the depths of his heart.

But until he heard Jiang Fan speak, he remained somewhat uncertain.

"I come from the Great Xuan Dynasty."

"Due to an accident, I ended up here."

Jiang Fan spoke straightforwardly, without concealing anything, nor did he need to.

"What!"

Zhu Ming's body trembled, his heart overwhelmed with shock, as waves surged within him.

Green Willow Village possessed numerous books and Inheritance Jade Scrolls, naturally aware of the existence of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Legend has it that it's the empire unifying the Human Race.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, this area was once part of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Unfortunately, due to demon invasions, this region became the Demon Realm.

He never expected that the Great Xuan Dynasty still existed and the Human Race hadn't completely vanished.

A rush of indescribable emotions quickly filled his heart.

Boom~~

In an instant, a message suddenly penetrated deep into Jiang Fan's sea of consciousness.

"Fate is always so wondrous, and calamities always come unexpectedly; no one can truly control their own destiny. You personally intervened to kill hundreds of Blood-eyed Demon Wolves and rescued the villagers of Green Willow Village, little knowing this would completely enrage the clan leader of the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf Race; it's a Tier Five Demon, extremely powerful.

It has already learned of the deaths of its subordinates and is swiftly heading toward the site of the incident. If you don't make a decision soon, you will attract enormous trouble."

"Fate will provide you with guidance."

"Fate Tip One: Although the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf clan leader is a Tier Five Demon, extremely powerful, with your current strength, killing it is not a difficult task.

Why not take the initiative and intercept this Tier Five Demon halfway, so you can prevent potential disaster by nipping it in the bud and proactively eliminating the threat, eliminating calamity.

But this is the Demon Realm, territory of the demons, and the death of a Tier Five Demon will cause enormous trouble, definitely attracting more powerful demons.

Therefore, you shouldn't kill this Tier Five Demon, but rather seal it, so that other demons will find it hard to detect the perpetual disappearance of the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf clan leader, sparing you from attracting further troubles, preventing a massive calamity for Green Willow Village.

Sometimes killing is not the only solution."

"Fate Tip Two: Of course, you can also choose to utterly kill the Blood-eyed Demon Wolf clan leader, eradicate the demons in this area. The problem is, in the Demon Realm, every piece of territory has powerful demons guarding it.

If a demon dies, it will attract the attention of the demon kingdom, leading to more demons being sent to investigate, bringing you countless demons.

Even with your formidable strength, facing the relentless hunts of powerful demons could lead to an inevitable end; this would also implicate everyone in this area, resulting in their deaths at the hands of demons."

"Hmm?!"

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes, never expecting that merely killing a group of demons would stir a Tier Five Demon; clearly, the demons in the Demon Realm have formed a vast kingdom.

Their internal organization is very stringent, similar to human kingdoms.

These Tier Five demons are like this region's lords, responsible for guarding this area.

If these demons don't die, naturally, they won't attract any attention from demon kingdoms, but once they die, high-tier demons will come to investigate.

It's like if Fengming City's City Lord suddenly died, it would certainly draw the attention of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

In the Demon Realm, it's indeed true.

So, in this region, having strength alone is not sufficient for survival.

If unaware of the rules here, indiscriminate demon killing will lead to big troubles.

Then, countless high-tier demons will assault, regardless of how many lives you have, you'll end up dead.

"So now, the only plan is to seal the demon, rather than kill it?"

"Fortunately, I also possess methods to seal demons."

"Otherwise, there would genuinely be no way to handle them."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

He owned ten Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, each with different powers, among which the Heaven-Suppressing Ring Talisman is a special talisman capable of sealing demons.

This talisman can condense into a Heaven-Suppressing Ring, once placed on an enemy, no matter who the enemy is or what abilities they possess, they will be suppressed, rendered immobile.

However, since he is now only a First-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, the condensed Heaven-Suppressing Ring Talisman can seal only Tier Five and below-tier creatures.

Therefore, dealing with a Tier Five Demon is actually not out of the question.

If he couldn't handle it, he would simply have to escape.

Fortunately, the situation hasn't reached the worst-case scenario yet.
