I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 480: The Sea of Blood Trees

With Wu Shuhua’s departure, the soreness in Zhou Feng’s body began to subside.

After resting for a while, he was also prepared to start a new journey.

“In that case, I’ll take my revenge and head straight to the Eastern Land!”

Zhou Feng was thinking of going to the Jade Sword Holy Land to snatch more resources before leaving the Southern Border.

As for the Great Sun Holy Land, he was too lazy to go because they were a bit far away.

Since he didn’t have the ability to destroy the three holy lands directly, it was better to wait until his strength increased before returning!

Zhou Feng would definitely return to the Southern Border.

...

“He left! That fiend really left!”

“I hope that monster won’t return!”

“He probably won’t return!”

After learning that Zhou Feng had left the Southern Border, the upper echelons of the Jade Sword Holy Land heaved a sigh of relief.

Before this, the Jade Sword Holy Land didn’t think that Zhou Feng would have the guts to make a move against them.

After all, Zhou Feng had already offended a holy land to the death. He shouldn’t be so arrogant and still want to fight to the death with the Jade Sword Holy Land!

And it was precisely because of this thought that the Jade Sword Holy Land ended up in a tragedy!

Zhou Feng used the refined earth soldiers to wreak havoc in countless cities.

Most of the cities in the Jade Sword Holy Land’s territory had been destroyed.

Only when Zhou Feng felt that it was about time did he leave with satisfaction.

This time, the Jade Sword Holy Land’s losses were much worse than the Jade Lake Holy Land’s.

But there was really nothing they could do to Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng had learned his lesson this time and did not show his face at all. The entire time, it was the earth soldiers who took action.

Each of these earth soldiers was equivalent to a Divine Ability cultivator.

The Jade Sword Holy Land’s territory was vast, so It was impossible to defend every single place.

Bean Soldiers was indeed a top-tier divine ability.

Zhou Feng’s understanding of Bean Soldiers was not deep enough, and he had not comprehended the Dao of Life or the Dao of Creation. If he could comprehend one of these, his dao soldiers might become even more powerful. They might even have their own consciousness and could cultivate.

With a casual wave of his hand, countless dao soldiers would appear to protect him. This was Bean Soldiers’ power.

...

The Eastern Land! Other than the Central Plains, it had the most Spiritual Veins.

It was also the place where all the races gathered. After the humans became the overlords, successive generations of Human Emperors continued to move people to the Central Plains, and the various races that had originally settled down in the Central Plains were forced to leave with their families.

Then, they all gathered together in the Eastern Land to fight against the humans.

Until now, humans had almost occupied all the regions.

With no other choice, the demihumans and the other rare races, joined a 10,000-year-old family in the Eastern Land.

This was how they managed to survive until now.

As for the humans of the east, they had perfectly integrated with the demihumans and the other races.

The east even had the idea of attacking the Central Plains.

‘The gathering place of the various races?’

Zhou Feng carefully recalled the description of the Eastern Land.

He was actually not very clear about other things.

The only thing he knew about the east was that he could not discriminate against any demihuman.

That was because the daemons in the Eastern Land basically had human blood.

After countless years of integration, there were almost no purebred humans in the Eastern Land.

All the humans had mixed daemonic blood or had marriages with other races.

“Why are the few large regions so isolated? There’s almost no communication between them...”

After carefully recalling some information about the Eastern Land, Zhou Feng couldn’t help but have some doubts.

Why did the cultivators of these large regions not communicate as frequently as he had imagined?

They didn’t even have the intention to communicate. Every year, only a small number of merchant caravans were willing to cross over to the Southern Border.

Why was this so?

Logically speaking, the Southern Border should have many special resources that the Eastern Land shouldn’t have.

Many people would definitely choose to go back and forth in such a situation.

After all, profit was the most direct motive.

Zhou Feng felt that many things were not right.

But because there was too little information, he could not make an accurate guess.

He could only quietly travel.

If he wanted to go from the Southern Border to the Eastern Land, according to the map he had gotten, he needed to pass through a place called the Sea of Blood Trees.

The endless Sea of Blood Trees separated the Southern Border and the Eastern Land.

The Blood Trees were a special kind of spirit tree. If they were watered with fresh blood, they could produce special spirit fruits.

Moreover, once there were too many Blood Trees, a Tree King would be born. Generally speaking, Blood Tree Kings possessed extremely high intelligence.

The Southern Border and the Eastern Land had so little communication partly because of the Sea of Blood Trees.

‘It’s really quiet…’

Zhou Feng did not know how long he had been traveling. All he knew was that the surroundings had become increasingly quiet. Even the sounds of insects had disappeared.

The trees in front of him had also changed.

These trees were almost two meters tall. Their trunks were dark red, and the leaves at the top of the trees were too bright green.

He also discovered that half of the roots of these trees were actually exposed to the air. The other half of the roots were buried deep in the soil.

He silently used Hexadirectional Calculation and found that there was no big problem.

Zhou Feng also did not hesitate and directly dived into the Sea of Blood Trees.

Anyway, given his current strength, there should not be any accidents as long as he did not encounter a particularly abnormal thing. Even if there were accidents, there was a chance of rebirth.

There was no need to be afraid.

Also, taking advantage of his free time, he kept asking the AI to optimize all kinds of cultivation techniques, such as the Grand Demon-Devouring Art and the soul-searching technique.

The soul-searching technique progressed quickly because he had caught a few demonic cultivators and a Ghost King back in the Cold Wind mountain range, and among them, he had obtained a technique similar to the soul-searching technique.

Now that the AI had sorted it out, he had finally created a soul-searching technique with the lowest side effects.

On the other hand, this Grand Demon-Devouring Art, which directly devoured the Blood Qi of others, was progressing somewhat slowly.

Although this kind of demonic cultivation technique showed fast results, its side effects were equally terrifying.

Zhou Feng had tried every means but could not get rid of the side effects.

Therefore, this Grand Demon-Devouring Art could only be used to refine dao soldiers.

Extracting the Blood Qi and flesh of the enemy and using them to refine dao soldiers was the only use of the Grand Demon-Devouring Art after it was improved.

The dao soldiers that were refined using this method were also known as blood devil soldiers by Zhou Feng.

These blood demon soldiers were surrounded by Blood Qi and had a very strong polluting nature. They could even absorb the Blood Qi and flesh of the enemy in battle to become stronger.

However, the only drawback was that their lifespan was too short. In a few years at most, these blood demon soldiers would self-destruct.

They were not like other dao soldiers that could be constantly refined and strengthened.

So far, Zhou Feng had three types of dao soldiers.

They were the void soldiers refined by Great Void Primordial Qi, the earth soldiers refined with the earth’s essence, and the blood demon soldiers refined through the Grand Demon-Devouring Art.

Each dao soldier had its strengths and weaknesses. For example, the earth soldier’s defense was strong enough, but it was not flexible enough.

As for the blood demon soldier, although its attack was powerful enough, its defense was not that great.

With these different dao soldiers, Zhou Feng felt that he could already study battle formations.

When the time came, he would directly scatter them, and all the dao soldiers would deal with the enemy in a formation.

That meant that Zhou Feng had another means.

He could deal with more difficult situations now.
