In the banquet hall of Five Villages Temple, Zhen Yuanzi's expression was extremely solemn.

"Little friend Chen Xuan, things have reached a point of no return. Does little friend know how to help Red Cloud resolve this calamity?"

Unlike Zhen Yuanzi's worry, Red Cloud Ancestor didn't seem to care as much. At this moment, he was carefully savoring the sweetness of the Ginseng Fruit.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan feel that this Red Cloud Ancestor was a bit too heartless.

He immediately sighed and said, "Now that Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi have established the Heavenly Court, it won't be long before all the demon races in the world unite.

The only ones who can contend with the demon race are the witch race. It won't be long before there will be a great war between the witches and demons. As for who wins and who loses, that will depend on their respective destinies."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he picked up a Ginseng Fruit from the table and began to savor it carefully.

Although Chen Xuan didn't say how Red Cloud Ancestor should overcome this calamity, Zhen Yuanzi already understood.

He immediately stood up and thanked Chen Xuan, saying, "Thank you, little friend Chen Xuan, for pointing out the clear path. This poor Daoist knows what to do."

After speaking, he ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue to go to the Ginseng Fruit orchard again and pick six Ginseng Fruits.

"These six Ginseng Fruits are for my senior brothers, the Three Pure Ones. I'll have to trouble little friend Chen Xuan to take them."

How could Chen Xuan not understand the purpose of Zhen Yuanzi doing this?

From this, it could also be seen that the friendship between Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud Ancestor could definitely be called a life-and-death friendship.

Going to such lengths for his old friend couldn't help but make Chen Xuan's impression of Zhen Yuanzi even better.

He immediately smiled and put away the six Ginseng Fruits. Then, he took out a jar of tea and a pot of Three Lights Divine Water.

"Uncle-master Zhen Yuanzi, I have a jar of tea here called Da Hong Pao. Today, I'll give it to the two uncle-masters to try something new."

This was how Chen Xuan was. He didn't want to owe anyone any karma. Because he understood the danger of karma better than anyone.

In the following days, Chen Xuan stayed in Five Villages Temple. He had a very pleasant conversation with Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud Ancestor.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. On this day, Chen Xuan bid farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud Ancestor and embarked on his journey through the Great Desolate again.

Chen Xuan floated aimlessly on a cloud, constantly calculating in his mind.

The top ten innate spiritual roots are ranked as follows: the World-Creating Azure Lotus, followed by the Peach Tree of Immortality, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Yellow Center Plum Tree, the Bitter Bamboo, the Green Willow, the Fusang Tree, the Immortal Apricot, the Moon Laurel Tree, and the Innate Gourd Vine.

The Peach Tree of Immortality has not yet been born and will fall into Yaochi's hands in the future. It won't be particularly difficult to obtain.

The Yellow Center Plum Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and the Innate Gourd Vine are already in Chen Xuan's hands.

However, Chen Xuan did not choose to graft the Yellow Center Plum Tree and the Innate Gourd Vine onto the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Tree as well.

Leaving aside the Yellow Center Plum Tree, just the Innate Gourd Vine was something Chen Xuan didn't dare to move carelessly.

Otherwise, if it affected Nüwa's creation of humans, this karma would truly be immense.

As for the remaining great spiritual roots, obtaining them would be both difficult and easy.

The Fusang Tree and the Moon Laurel Tree both belong to the demon race. It's not impossible to obtain them.

The difficulty lies in the Bitter Bamboo, which was refined into the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo by Daoist Zhunti, and the Green Willow, which transformed into Yang Mei Ancestor.

As for the World-Creating Azure Lotus, Chen Xuan could only look for a substitute. After all, the main body of the World-Creating Azure Lotus had already transformed into various spiritual treasures.

And the best substitute is none other than the four Twelfth Grade Lotus Platforms. After all, obtaining four more lotus platforms should refer to these Twelfth Grade Lotus Platforms.

However, obtaining them is not that easy. Especially the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction and the Twelfth Grade White Lotus of World Purification, Chen Xuan doesn't even know where they are.

Countless later novels have fabricated many plots, but none of the Great Desolate historical records mention the origin of these two lotus platforms.

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more he felt clueless, and his emotions became increasingly agitated.

He felt as if a giant rock was pressing on his chest, making it a little difficult to breathe.

However, this did not pull Chen Xuan out of his thoughts; instead, he continued to ponder this question deeply.

This led Chen Xuan to wander aimlessly across the Great Desolate Land, not even knowing where he had gone.

He didn't even collect the Demon Cores scattered after the Demon Race's battles, as he usually would.

On this day, Chen Xuan was still immersed in deep thought. Suddenly, a loud noise came from ahead, startling Chen Xuan and almost making him fall from the cloud.

It also brought Chen Xuan back to his senses. He reached up and wiped his forehead, which was covered in sweat.

"That was close! If it weren't for that loud noise just now, I'm afraid I would have truly been lost in thought and unable to extricate myself."

Chen Xuan was not mistaken; his situation just now was extremely dangerous.

Because he had already developed a Heart Demon, and with a slight carelessness, he would have been controlled by it.

Fortunately, that loud noise just now restored clarity to his mind.

Even so, the Heart Demon had already taken root in Chen Xuan's heart. As for whether it would eventually sprout, that depended on Chen Xuan himself.

After sighing, Chen Xuan looked ahead. He found that he had unknowingly arrived above the vast ocean.

And not far from him, there was a small island shrouded in immortal energy.

On the island, there were occasional loud noises like thunder.

It was this sound of thunder that pulled Chen Xuan out of his Heart Demon.

At the same time, a name appeared in Chen Xuan's mind, "Is this Liubo Mountain, seven thousand li into the sea?

Then wasn't the thunderous sound just now emitted by the Thunder Beast Kui?"

Chen Xuan clearly remembered that Tongtian's mount was the Kui Bull.

Moreover, there was quite a bit of controversy about the identity of this Kui Bull in later generations. Some said the Kui Bull was the embodiment of the Dao, while others said it was the Thunder Beast Kui from Liubo Mountain.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan want to investigate. He immediately used the Profound Origin Wave Transformation Art and headed directly towards Liubo Mountain.

As soon as Chen Xuan arrived at Liubo Mountain, he was shocked by the scene before him.

It turned out that two bulls with different appearances were competing on Liubo Mountain.

One was shaped like a bull, with one foot, no horns on its head, and a greenish-blue color. It looked somewhat awkward.

The other one looked much more comfortable; it was a large, dark black water buffalo.

Around the bull's body, auspicious light and colorful auspicious clouds rose. Its two horns were shaped like crescent moons, and there was a Taiji Eight Trigrams pattern in the center of its forehead.

Moreover, these two bulls had one thing in common: they would cause wind and rain when entering and leaving the water, could emit thunderous sounds, and were accompanied by light like the sun and moon.

At this moment, the two bulls were locked in a struggle, and surprisingly, they were evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand.

Chen Xuan simply sat on the cliff, watching the two bulls butt heads below.

It was just a pity that the Thunder Beast Kui had a head but no horns, putting it at a slight disadvantage compared to the Great Water Buffalo.

As the battle between the two bulls grew more intense, the sound of thunder also became more rapid.

Just then, the waters of the East Sea suddenly parted, and a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon soared out from within the East Sea.

It then transformed into a young man, holding a gleaming treasure sword in his hand.

The young man pointed the treasure sword in his hand at the two bulls who were butting heads and said angrily, "Are you two ever going to finish?"
