Creation of the Universe

Shen Zhan took out two Earth Spirit Fruits, handed them to Han Fei, and said with a smile: "You came here with so much trouble just for these, you can't make a wasted trip."

Han Fei gladly accepted it. His cultivation had declined and he had lost his spiritual power, and the Earth Spirit Fruit could help him return to his previous state.

At this time, those who fell to the ground finally woke up slowly. They didn't know what had happened and found that Wu Jian and others who had been bullying them were nowhere to be seen.

Shen Zhan stepped forward and explained the whole story. He then said to everyone, "You're lucky to be alive. These Earth Spirit Fruits aren't something your level of cultivation can benefit from. I hope you'll take this as a warning and not harbor unrealistic fantasies or take risks."

These words are both an exhortation and a warning.

People are often burdened by greed and do some extremely irrational things.

If they had not believed the sweet words of the Wu family, they would not have rashly come to the Spirit Beast Forest. As a result, they boarded the Wu family's pirate ship and became slaves. If they had not met Shen Zhan, they would have lost their lives here today.

One of them said with deep regret, "Thank you very much for saving us, sir. We were so foolish. We didn't know that Wu was so cruel and treated us like monkeys."

The Earth Spirit Fruit belongs to the wood element. Once it is separated from the Earth Spirit Vein, the spiritual energy contained in it will lose its original balance. Once this power leaks out, it will instantly cause casualties.

The last time the Wu family came, they didn't know the characteristics of the Earth Spirit Fruit, so many people reached out to pick the Earth Spirit Fruit. As a result, they were killed by the spiritual energy that burst out instantly. The scene was extremely bloody.

After learning from their mistakes, the Wu family specially made a box made of brass, in order to use metal to overcome wood and suppress the power of the Earth Spirit Fruit.

But having the box alone is not enough. The spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Fruit is particularly harmful. Ordinary people cannot carry the box containing the Earth Spirit Fruit, so they have to summon those who have a certain level of cultivation but whose cultivation level is not that high.

The low level of cultivation of these people was just enough to withstand the pressure of the spiritual energy emitted from the box of the Earth Spirit Fruit, and they did not have the ability to compete with the Wu family for the Earth Spirit Fruit, so they became the most suitable pawns to be used.

Unfortunately, the Wu family had planned everything, but they missed Shen Zhan.

"These Earth Spirit Fruits are different from ordinary immortal fruits or elixirs. They need to be refined by one's own cultivation before they can merge with the spirit pool in one's body. Your cultivation is not enough. Not only can you not refine them, but you can't absorb the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Fruits at all. If you force it, you may suffer backlash, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Next, I advise you to leave the Spirit Beast Forest as soon as possible. Any second-level spirit beast here can kill you!

The Wu family's ship is still there, so you can just take it and leave. Focus on your cultivation and don't expect to ascend to great heights overnight. Perhaps someone among you will succeed."

Shen Zhan decided to be a good person and pointed out a clear path for these people.

Those who had managed to survive nodded in acceptance. They didn't want to stay here any longer. If they encountered danger again, no one could say whether they would be able to return alive.

But someone worriedly said, "Wu Jian and Wu Baiding are both dead. The Wu family will definitely not allow us to board the ship. What should we do then?"

Shen Zhan asked him in return, "If the Wu family won't let you, then just take the boat away. They were the ones who were unkind and unjust first, don't you feel any resentment at all?"

So these people finally made up their minds. Just as Shen Zhan said, the two most powerful men in the Wu family are now dead, and they have the advantage in numbers. Why should they be afraid of the Wu family?

"Okay, let's go together. If the Wu family won't let us get on the boat, we'll rob them!"

"Yes, revenge is the right thing to do!"

Everyone's fighting spirit was ignited, and Shen Zhan turned to Shen Jingjuan and said, "I'm letting you go back alive this time, but I don't expect you to change your ways. It's good enough that you've restrained yourself. When you see the queen, you should know what to say, right?"

During this trip, Shen Jingjuan was first kidnapped and then involved in the hunt for Shen Zhan. By chance, she came to the extremely dangerous Spirit Beast Forest and was on the verge of life and death several times.

This was very different from her previous pampered and glamorous life. After experiencing all this, her state of mind also changed.

At this moment, in front of Shen Zhan, she nodded unusually calmly and even a little stiffly, "I know, my affairs have nothing to do with you. You even saved me many times. If you weren't here, I would have died a long time ago."

Shen Zhan pointed at Han Fei and added, "Han Fei will escort you all the way back to Jinning, so don't let him make a wasted trip."

"Well, it's only natural to repay a favor."

Looking at Shen Jingjuan's expression and reaction at this moment, she was so well-behaved and quiet that Shen Zhan couldn't believe that this was the Shen Jingjuan he knew.

This woman has lost her former arrogance and hostility, and looks much more pleasing to the eye.

Without further ado, Shen Zhan asked Han Fei to take Shen Jingjuan and set off immediately. If the two of them joined forces with those people used by the Wu family, it would be easy to seize the Wu family's ship.

Seeing that Shen Zhan had no intention of leaving the Spirit Beast Forest, Han Fei asked, "Brother Shen, what are your plans next?"

Shen Zhan replied, "Although the Spirit Beast Forest is extremely dangerous, it is a rare and good place for cultivation. I plan to stay here to improve my cultivation and then consider whether to return to Jinning."

"Okay, I see."

After bidding farewell to Shen Zhan, Han Fei took dozens of people to where the Wu family's ship was anchored.

Shen Zhan turned around and looked at the Earth Spirit Fruits left in the cave. He planned to leave them here for the time being. Although the Earth Spirit Fruits were good, he certainly didn't need so many, and he was not willing to give them to others rashly.

After all, human hearts are evil, and every increase in the power of bad guys means an increase in the possibility of innocent people being harmed.

"With so many Earth Spirit Fruits, we should return them to the Earth Spirit Vein and let those who are destined to receive them obtain them."

Shen Zhan talked to himself.

He originally wanted to ask Han Fei to take two to Shen Yunli, but then he thought that Shen Yunli already had the Morning Dew, which was more than a hundred times stronger than the Earth Spirit Fruit. Perhaps Shen Yunli's cultivation level had already improved by leaps and bounds.

"Forget it, how about we go find something to eat?"

Shen Zhan lowered his head to talk to the little beast, but suddenly discovered that the little guy had secretly sneaked into one of the boxes and ate all the Earth Spirit Fruits.

Seeing the little beast eating one bite at a time with relish, Shen Zhan did not blame it, but laughed heartily.

"Blame me, why didn't I think of giving you some?"

"This Earth Spirit Fruit should be a delicacy to you, right?"

Before he finished speaking, a horn slowly grew from the little beast's forehead. Its original gray-brown color quickly turned a layer of sky-blue...
