The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

After Yun Mo and the others reunited with Wu Yingying, they embarked on the Spiritual Path again.

"Sister Qingxuan, did you get this red dress from the token? It's so beautiful." Although Wu Yingying might be a bit willful, she did indeed make the atmosphere in the group less dull.

In general, it's because they haven't spent enough time together and are a bit reserved. Yun Mo and Wu Ling are fine, but Wen Qingxuan is only familiar with Yun Mo and hasn't really spoken much with Wu Ling.

Now that Wu Yingying has joined in, asking all sorts of questions, things are much better.

"Yes, but this was given by Yun Mo. Three thousand spirit points is a basic gift for joining the group. Even your brother gave us a lot of things!" Wen Qingxuan said with a smile. The addition of a new girl brought a smile to her face.

"Huh? Even Wu Ling got a gift, so why didn't I? Captain Yun Mo! You're not going to take my things away, are you?" Wu Yingying leaned close to Yun Mo, stretched out her little hand, and cried out with a wrinkled nose.

Yun Mo rubbed his forehead and said to Wu Yingying, "Don't listen to her nonsense. There are no gifts. If I give you things, who will give me anything?"

"Hmph! Sister Qingxuan would never lie. Wu Ling, tell me, have you ever received anything from Captain Yun Mo?" Wu Yingying's eyes flashed with cunning. She waved her little fist and looked at Wu Ling, telling him to think it over before he spoke.

Wu Ling saw the cunning in her eyes and the hint of warning, and could only laugh awkwardly, "Well... it should be, well, hehe."

Yun Mo looked at Wu Yingying, who was being completely unashamed, and said with a black line on his forehead, "I gave them things because they contributed to the team, and it was compensation for them. You just joined, so what contribution have you made?"

"And you even asked us to help you get revenge, so ultimately you should be the one paying us. Besides, you've already eaten a Nine-Leaf Fruit, so consider that your joining gift."

Wu Yingying spat, "That was given to me by Wu Ling, how can it be considered a gift from you? Sister Qingxuan said that the red dress costs three thousand spirit points, I'll give you a discount, I'll just give you something worth two thousand spirit points."

Wearing Qingxuan's gold armor and red dress doesn't suit me very well. This blue one would be better for me. It's also on the token. Could you help me change it? Consider it a gift from me.

"Little brat, you want clothes worth two thousand spirit points? Wait until you're a bit older." Yun Mo looked at her small frame and curled his lip in disdain.

"You!" Wu Yingying looked at him staring at her, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She knew exactly what he meant. "Sister Qingxuan, let me tell you, Yun Mo has ill intentions!"

"Oh? How is he up to no good?"

"He bought you that red dress just so he could see your figure every day. He's a pervert! He's no different from my enemy!"

"Hey! You little brat, don't make baseless accusations! When did I ever look at her figure every day? You call me a pervert!" Yun Mo was furious. Who would say something like that so openly?

"Look, he's gotten angry because of what I said." Wu Yingying leaned closer to Wen Qingxuan again. "We have to be careful. He's not only stingy, but also petty."

"You..." Yun Mo gritted her teeth, "Come here, I'll buy you a dress."

"Hmph! You're definitely trying to take this opportunity to get revenge on me. Transfer the spirit points from your token to me, and I'll buy it myself." Wu Yingying made a face and hid behind Wen Qingxuan.

"You refused the gift yourself, so don't blame me later."

"..."

Along the way, the group joked and teased each other, and finally arrived at their destination.

It looks like a valley, but it's more like a deep basin. The cliffs on all sides are as sharp as if they were cut by a knife, and the sharp cliff walls reach into the sky, forming barriers that completely isolate this place from the outside world.

In the center of this area lies a lake shimmering with an eerie light; its waters are a strange black, as if they could devour all light.

If you get close, you'll find that the lake surface is sometimes as calm as a mirror, and sometimes it suddenly churns, revealing the undercurrents beneath the surface, as if some indescribable creature is lurking in it, watching everything that approaches it.

"Something seems off. According to the map, the terrain here shouldn't be like this." Relying on his divine soul, Yun Mo vaguely sensed a strangeness and a hint of danger.

"Why are those mountain walls black too? They weren't like this outside." Wu Yingying swallowed, feeling that everything here was strange.

"Look there, the spiritual herbs deep in the lake!" The Martial Spirit Battle Staff appeared, pointing to the lake in the center of the area, a look of shock flashing in its eyes.

The group of people were taken aback and turned their gazes in that direction.

"this……"

"Azure Cloud Fruit".

"Tianyue Flower".

"Lingtai Youming Grass".

"..."

Dozens of incredibly precious spiritual herbs transformed the area into a medicinal field, and the spiritual energy contained within enveloped the space.

"There are still Night Bees there!" Wen Qingxuan's phoenix eyes flashed with surprise. They hadn't expected to encounter Night Bees right here.

"It seems like we're about to strike it rich." Wu Ling grinned, his heart gradually filled with excitement.

There are many spiritual herbs there that can temper the body. If they refine them, they are almost certain that they can push their physical strength to the Spirit Wheel Realm.

But just as they were about to walk over, they noticed that the black lake surface was beginning to ripple violently, with giant tails appearing and disappearing among them.

This unexpected turn of events gradually calmed the excitement in their eyes.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Be careful, everyone. The Spirit Road has been open dozens of times. It's impossible that no one has discovered this place. The only explanation is that the guardian spirit beast is too strong and will wipe out everyone who comes here in the future." A cold glint flashed in Yun Mo's eyes, and a soft sword appeared in his hand.

"Heh, but I can't let this opportunity slip by." Wu Ling's fighting spirit was high. Opportunity and risk go hand in hand; this is an eternal truth.

"Wu Ling, Qing Xuan, once the fight starts, we'll each take a position. Wu Yingying, your physical body is weaker, so just provide support from a distance by firing arrows."

Yun Mo handed her a short bow, which he had obtained with his last remaining spiritual points. The arrows on it could be condensed with just his energy, making it a decent spiritual weapon.

Wu Yingying knew this was not the time to joke around, so she nodded solemnly in response.

After giving their instructions, the three of them slipped away and tentatively headed towards the dark lake.

The spirit beasts in the lake seemed to sense their provocation and, unable to bear it any longer, roared loudly, echoing through the heavens and earth. Then, they suddenly leaped out of the lake, creating boundless waves.

"roar!"

The group looked closely, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.

Its appearance was extremely ferocious. At the front were its eight terrifying heads, each with a blue face and fangs. Behind it was its body, which resembled a huge tiger, with its fur having a bluish-yellow sheen and exuding a terrifying aura.

Its limbs are thick and powerful, covered with incredibly hard scales, and each claw is like a sharp blade, gleaming with a cold light, as if it could tear apart any obstacle.

Finally, there is the most conspicuous tail, from which eight giant tails extend, as flexible as snakes, with blue feathers and spikes spread out, as if they could blot out the sky.

"This seems to be the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast?" Wu Ling frowned, and an incredulous light appeared in his eyes.

Wen Qingxuan uttered softly, "It is indeed the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast, a domesticated beast of the ancient witch clan."

"But how is that possible!"

At that moment, they all felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

The Night-Shining Netherworld Beast is a unique domesticated beast of the ancient witch clan. Apart from them, no other force in the entire world possesses such a spirit beast.

The ancient witch clan was a legendary force in the Great Thousand Worlds. Their original world was just a Middle Thousand Worlds, which they accidentally merged into the Great Thousand Worlds.

Several hundred years later, a top power in the vast world discovered this race that only cultivated their physical bodies and wanted to subdue them as its subordinate forces.

However, this top power did not anticipate the strength of this race. Several Earth Sovereigns they sent were instantly reduced to ashes, which enraged this top power. They once again rallied two of their close top powers and together they attacked the ancestral land of the Witch Clan.

However, to everyone's surprise, although a battle did occur, the three Heavenly Sovereigns were no different from the Earthly Sovereigns. They were surrounded and killed not far from the ancestral land of the Witch Clan. Even the army they brought with them was wiped out without making a fuss.

This battle shook the entire world. No one expected that this race, which only cultivated the physical body, would be so ferocious. But the most terrifying thing was yet to come.

After that battle, the Witch Clan was also enraged. More than a dozen of the strongest warriors emerged from their ancestral land. Together, they attacked the three super powers and completely annihilated them.

From then on, a force that focused on cultivating the physical body became the supreme holy land in the Great Thousand World, and it was not afraid of even those so-called ancient races.

And they did not disgrace the name of the holy land of the Great Thousand World. When the evil race from beyond the realm invaded, all the members of the Witch Clan perished together with the twenty Demon Emperors. All of them died in battle, and the continent of their clan was also disintegrated and disappeared.

Yun Mo recalled the words in these ancient academy books and breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected to find traces of the witch clan's domesticated beasts here.

"What should we do?" Wu Ling looked at Yun Mo. Although this Night Emperor Netherworld was just a pet used by the Witch Clan to guard the weeds and wildflowers on the outskirts of their territory, and it was not known for its strength, it was still far beyond what they could compare to.

Judging from the aura emanating from it, this Night Emperor Netherworld Beast is at least a level seven spirit beast, and in a one-on-one fight, it could easily tear them apart.

"What can we do? Do you think its appearance will make us retreat? Besides, the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast... I'm pretty sure that this continent on the Spirit Road holds the secrets of the Witch Clan."

Yun Mo thought of that large bow. Could it be a legendary divine weapon?
