Volume 3 The Controversy Between Immortals and Buddhas Chapter 45: Demonic Oxygen
If we go deeper into it, will there be a place full of ‘oxygen’?
What kind of creatures would survive in a land of ‘pure oxygen’?
Plants in the heavenly world are different from the plants in the human world. Plants in the heavenly world do not produce "oxygen", but produce part of the spiritual energy through "photosynthesis".
But why do the plants here in the Forest of Life produce ‘oxygen’ just like the plants in the human world?
Will the plants inside be the same as those in the human world?
What does this have to do with the human world?

While Wang Bin was deep in thought, the golden-nosed silver elephant on the side continued:
"According to rumors, the 'demon energy' will corrode life! The stronger the 'demon energy', the shorter the life span of the living beings. If you stay in this 'demon energy' for a long time, even if you are an immortal, your realm will be worn away...
····
Of course, although demonic energy can corrode lifespan, it is not without merit. The biggest effect is to keep the mind clear. In places where the "demon energy" is strong, the IQs of creatures are very high, such as here..."
Everyone followed the fingers of the golden-nosed silver elephant and looked down. At first glance, they were above a huge green grassland. But if they looked carefully, they could see where the grassland was. They were actually in a swamp, or rather a swamp.
In a huge lake.
There are lotus leaves everywhere on the lake, ranging from dozens of feet in size to hundreds of feet in size, one next to another, covering the entire lake; on top of the huge lotus leaves, there is a layer of green and furry 'tentacles'
, just like the green grassland; the green and furry 'tentacles' are also scattered with colorful 'little flowers'.
In the distance, two one-foot-long oxen were gnawing on the 'green grass'. The huge lotus leaf suddenly rolled up and directly rolled the two oxen into the leaf. Soon they turned into two groups of white bones. As the lotus leaves shook, the white bones
Fall into the lake.
"Overlord Lotus? What a powerful disguise! Even we were almost fooled."
Then Wang Bin, Mingyue, and Golden Nose Silver Elephant looked at each other and smiled in understanding:
The lotus seeds of the Overlord Lotus are rare and precious medicinal materials, not to mention that in this thousands-foot-long lake, there is only one Overlord Lotus, so its seeds are extremely precious.
The three of them searched carefully along the lotus leaves, and sure enough, they found a huge lotus pod next to a hill-like lotus in the distance.
After a simple communication, Wang Bin and others went ahead and left the lake far away. Seeing that everyone had reached the safe area, the golden-nosed silver elephant silently acted, and a huge silver elephant appeared in the shadow, with its long golden nose facing down.
, a piece of golden light shot upwards, he raised his hand to grab the golden light, and quickly chased towards Wang Bin and others. A huge 'green wave' immediately rolled up in the lake behind him, and countless huge lotus leaves rushed towards the golden-nosed silver elephant.
"Run!~"
Seeing the lotus leaves covering the sky and the sun chasing after them, Wang Bin and others immediately ran away from a distance.
On a hill in the distance, a golden-nosed silver elephant took out eleven fist-sized golden lotus seeds:
"That guy is so good at disguise. On the surface, he looks like a demon king, but he is actually a demon emperor worthy of the name.
Mistake, mistake!
A total of twelve lotus seeds grew, and I left one for it. Of these eleven, four are for me, four for the king’s brothers, and three for my wife.”
"Hey, Brother Jin, you picked this, you can keep it." m
"No, everyone who sees you has a share, how can you eat alone?"
"Then we both owe a lot to Brother Jin."
"Thank you, Brother Jin."
Wang Bin and Mingyue each put away their fist-sized golden lotus seeds.
"What are you going to do next?"
Wang Bin looked at everyone and then looked around:
"Now that I'm here, I just want to see it clearly and move on!"
"Okay, keep going!"
Then Wang Bin took out a double-decker four-wing aircraft:
"This thing was specially developed for me by Tian Zhenzi before. It is only as fast as the Tribulation Stage, but it only requires spiritual stones. Let's ride it together next."
Under the control of Ruoyan and Qianliying, two monks in the tribulation period, the double-decker four-winged plane flew south quickly against the treetops of the forest; Jin San and Chunxuan were on guard on both sides, while Wang Bin, Mingyue, and the golden-nosed silver elephant sat leisurely
Drinking tea in the middle, Wang Ziyu is waiting beside him.
There are various kinds of fairy grass and spiritual fruits on the tea table:
"Heavenly Primula, Scarlet Divine Grass, Mulengguo, Huanyang Tree... what a living forest!"
"Brother Jin, do you think they would agree if we did business with them?"
The huge forest of life and the many celestial grass and spiritual fruits in it are urgently needed by the outside world. Wang Bin firmly believes that this is a big deal.
"Law, wealth, lovers, and land are not only needed by the human race, but also by our demon clan. The main reason is that our demon clan does not have enough understanding of the role of these fairy grass spiritual fruits, and lacks a fair trading platform. If we use the academy city
As a fulcrum, it may be possible to open the door to communication between the Forest of Life and the outside world.”
"You're right, by then humans won't have to take risks by entering this forest of life.
From now on, we will build a trading center at the mountain pass of Academy City, and then announce the required medicinal materials and prices to all races in the entire Life Forest.
Both parties trade in the trading center, so that the humans who go into the forest to collect medicines will not disturb the fellow demon clan's retreat.
Then build a Tribulation Plaza near the academy city and clearly mark the price for renting it out.
At that time, we can ask the group of monsters in the forest to provide various medicinal materials, exchange fairy grass for spiritual stones, and use the spiritual stones to rent the Tribulation Plaza. We will provide the guardians for a fee. At that time, Brother Jin can also exchange for a certain amount of remuneration, which will be kept as pocket money in the future.
"
"Hahahaha! To do business, you have to be Brother Wang. What a wonderful idea! They spend money to rent the venue and hire me to protect the law. We are a business partnership. Even if the Sky Demon Clan finds out, there is nothing they can do. They can spend
For more spiritual stones, please ask me not to be a protector... Wonderful! Hahaha! I will definitely support it."
While discussing various plans for the future, while paying attention to the internal situation of the Forest of Life, everyone came to the end of the forest unknowingly:
Shenzhou Nanhai.
Standing on a huge black reef, with his back to the Forest of Life and facing the sea, Wang Bin was filled with doubts:
The plants in the southern part of the Forest of Life are very different from the plants in the five continents of the heavenly world, but they are similar to the plants in the human world, but they are also different.
Different from the plants in the heaven that release spiritual energy, the plants here absorb spiritual energy and release "devil energy", which is the oxygen of the human world. Although the plants in the human world also release oxygen, they absorb carbon dioxide, not the spiritual energy of the heaven.
Although Wang Bin doesn't understand what spiritual energy is, one thing is certain: spiritual energy is not carbon dioxide.
The more I think about it, the more confused I become!
Although the spiritual energy of the Forest of Life is thin, the vast sea blows rich spiritual energy, making everyone feel happy physically and mentally. After simple repairs, everyone took a double-decker four-wing aircraft and continued westward along the seaside.
I don’t know how long they have been moving forward, but a huge ‘Black Stone Mountain’ blocked the way forward. Everyone stepped out of the aircraft and looked up at the Black Mountain.
The 'Black Mountain' is twenty miles high and has a four-sided cone shape, similar to the pyramid of the earth. The top of the mountain is pointed and the width becomes wider as you go down. If you look closely, you will see that the entire 'Black Mountain' is made up of black stones from the seabed layer by layer. The size of the black stones is
Exactly the same.
Blackstone Mountain should be called ‘Blackstone Tower’ to be precise. It was obviously specially built by ‘people’, because each black stone is carved with complex runes:
"What a magnificent project. Whose masterpiece is this?"
