The greater the ability, the greater the benefits

In Xiao Fan's imagination, the so-called Demon Mother Nest must be a pile of rotten flesh, emitting a disgusting smell of decay and putrefaction.

It also had a bunch of tentacles, similar to an octopus, slimy and covered with nauseating mucus.

There might even be a few gaping maws, filled with millions of sharp teeth, with crimson flesh walls wriggling madly, looking ferocious, capable of biting people into a bloody mist with a single bite.

But the truth was: the Foundation of this Mother Nest indeed resembled a large tumor, but its exterior was black and purple, emitting an eerie, evil glow, and its periphery was wrapped in a thick layer of strange black carapace.

The carapace was triangular-pyramidal, pointing upwards, with a mass of red flesh exposed below, which opened and closed, constantly chewing, as if feeding.

Above the strange black carapace, a skeleton dozens of feet high and several feet in diameter grew, entirely composed of white bones, resembling a white bone tree.

Thin red vines, winding and twisting, climbed up the skeleton; these were its tentacles, transporting the flesh from below upwards.

Above the white bone tree, there were countless dark black leaves, constantly emitting grievances.

On the branches of those bone trees, a dozen thin red blood vessels converged into one, injecting into an irregular, spiky spherical object resembling a fruit.

Xiao Fan could clearly feel traces of flesh being molded within those spiky spheres.

He looked at Jiang Lanzhi and said with some surprise, "Is this what you meant by the Demon Mother Nest?"

Jiang Lanzhi nodded, "Yes."

"Those vines are its blood vessels, using them to transport the flesh from below into those spiky fruits. Once formed, those spiky spheres will open, allowing the Demon within to fly out."

"It still needs to expel the Cultivator's grievances through the black leaves. Once it fully matures, the black leaves will wither away, and all the grievances will be injected into those spiky spheres. The Demons produced then will be truly complete."

Jiang Lanzhi's pretty face wore a serious expression; although not yet mature, the threat was already significant.

"If it's not removed now, once it matures later, the tumor below will spread everywhere, blooming all over the place, truly impossible to guard against."

Xiao Fan listened to her explanation: spreading, infinitely reproducing, strong defense, feeding on normal Cultivators...

Isn't this just a malignant tumor?

Just a Cultivator version.

"Where is the Demon Core?"

"It's inside that black strange shell. Don't underestimate this black strange armor; it has a demonic curse on it that can dissolve attacks launched against it."

"To dismantle it, you can only enter the Mother Nest's black strange armor and destroy it."

Xiao Fan translated these words into a version he could understand.

This is a malignant tumor (Demon Mother Nest) that can continuously produce cancer cells (individual Demons), prone to spreading, and Cultivators who want to kill the Mother Nest are like targeted special medicine, only by going inside can the tumor be removed.

This makes sense now.

However, he wasn't here to remove it, but to take it for his own use.

Xiao Fan said with a half-smile, "You seem to know a bit too much. What ancient texts are these? Can I borrow them to read?"

Jiang Lanzhi was momentarily speechless. Why was this guy's ability to grasp the main points so strange?

"I forgot."

"Oh."

The Elder beside them also looked solemn after hearing this.

No wonder the Grand Elder couldn't destroy this thing; it turns out its black strange shell is so peculiar.

"Saint, you two wait outside. I'll take some people in to take a look first," a Body Integration Elder said, taking three Void Refining Elders with him.

The others remained behind to protect them.

"Hmm, go ahead," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

His own heart, however, sank to the side, communicating with the demonic nature within him.

The demonic nature was still cheering and leaping, eager to immediately attack and devour this tumor.

Xiao Fan would not let the demonic body have its way. What's the difference between devouring such a disgusting thing and eating feces?

Boom!

Those Elders wanted to go in and eliminate this calamity, but the black strange armor emitted a faint light.

Like an invisible barrier, it blocked everyone outside, no matter how the Body Integration Elder attacked, he could not break through its defense.

"What's going on?" Xiao Fan asked.

Jiang Lanzhi said:

"This Mother Nest is very cunning. It only allows weaklings who can be devoured to enter. Any existence that poses a threat to it will be repelled and unable to enter."

"However, it can only judge based on cultivation. As long as a Genius with low cultivation who can kill enemies beyond their level enters, it will lose its composure."

This was Jiang Lanzhi's experience from fighting the Demon Mother Nest for many years in the Immortal Realm.

In that battle, tens of thousands of Cultivators from the Immortal Realm sacrificed themselves to destroy the Demon Mother Nest, and Jiang Lanzhi remembered it vividly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan became interested. It even knew how to pick on the weak.

Not simple.

"Saint, we are incompetent and cannot remove this thing. Why don't we go back and call for more people?"

"That's right, Saint. Even the Grand Elder couldn't do anything. No one would dare say anything if we went back like this."

"What you said makes sense. Let's just consider this a reconnaissance mission. I suggest reporting it to the Holy Lord and letting the Holy Lord decide."

The Elders said.

This thing was very strange, and they didn't want to stay here too long. If anything happened to the Saint, they would be blamed.

Xiao Fan shook his head, "As the Saint, I should set an example."

"This thing endangers the Holy Land, and I cannot just ignore it. Escaping won't solve the problem. Let me go in and deal with it."

He spoke righteously, almost believing himself.

After all, with so much equipment on him and the ability to revive, Xiao Fan had plenty of confidence in his words.

Of course, the main reason was that he saw that this Mother Nest refused to let Void Refining Elders enter.

What did this indicate? It indicated that the strength of this Mother Nest would not exceed Void Refining!

Compared to Xiao Fan's strength, which could knock out a Mahayana Cultivator with one punch, he wasn't worried at all. Isn't this purely pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

Upon hearing this, the Elders couldn't help but worry about him and repeatedly tried to persuade him.

But Xiao Fan flatly refused. He said:

"I am a person of the Righteous Path. What does it matter if I die, as long as I can eliminate demons and defend the Dao?"

"If it benefits the world, I will face life and death; why should I avoid it for fortune or misfortune!" Adapting it slightly, Xiao Fan spoke these words with Righteous Qi, instantly radiating light, like an Incarnation of justice.

The Elders were also shocked by his words and felt somewhat ashamed.

"The Saint's Heart-Nature is beyond our reach."

"Other Holy Lands constantly tout themselves as the leaders of the Righteous Path, yet none are like the Saint, putting life and death aside."

Xiao Fan was calm and nonchalant, saying, "With great power comes great benefits... I mean: with great power, the ability to benefit the people of the world should also be greater."

The Elders were embarrassed. They had cultivated for many years, primarily for their own longevity. Someone with the Saint's thoughts was definitely a Saint among men!

In ancient times, such a person would become a Human Emperor!

Jiang Lanzhi looked at him deeply. He didn't seem like a hypocrite at all.

"You stay here and don't move. I'll go get you a few oranges... Demon Cores and bring them back."

Whether he could be a father in the future was another matter, for now, he would be one.

Listening to Xiao Fan's words, Jiang Lanzhi's heart trembled slightly.

She admitted that even if she were to live another life, she might repeat the same mistakes and experience the bitterness of love, but in this life, she wanted to find out the truth. If he truly had a reason for his actions, she would definitely forgive him.

[Ding, Jiang Lanzhi's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 8%.]

Oh, the boost is 100% again. It's so easy to conquer her.

Thinking of the Empress of Unfeeling, who maintained a cold and beautiful face to outsiders, but would be full of tenderness and obedience towards him.

Just thinking about it made him excited!!

Jiang Lanzhi said coldly, "I will get what I want myself."

Oh, she's being tsundere now.

The more Xiao Fan looked, the more he liked it. It was best for her to be cold now; she would have plenty to cry about later.
