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

"Is this the ancestral land of the ancient witch clan?"

Looking at the dim world, Wu Ling couldn't help but wonder if it was caused by the deadly battle with the extraterrestrial evil race.

"There's spiritual energy here! Although the laws of the Divine Competition still exist, my strength has recovered to the Spirit Wheel Realm!" Yun Mo carried Wen Qingxuan on his back, his breathing filled with spiritual energy. Although the Spirit Wheel Realm might be the peak under the suppression of the laws of the Divine Competition, it was still better than having no cultivation at all.

His words startled Wu Ling and Wu Yingying, who also felt their cultivation levels gradually recovering. Wu Ling was already at the Spirit Wheel Realm, while Wu Yingying's cultivation was only at the Spirit Movement Realm.

"Have we already left the Spirit Path?" Wu Ling asked.

"It should be similar to the edge of the Spirit Road. The blood-red token of the Mirror of Judgment has not disappeared and can be exchanged for the items inside," Wen Qingxuan whispered, lying on Yun Mo's back.

"Huh? You're not drunk?" Yun Mo was stunned and turned to look at her.

At that moment, their cheeks were almost touching, and they could feel each other's warmth.

Wen Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him, "With spiritual energy, what's your little bit of fruit wine? Just a little bit of spiritual power will easily dispel that slight intoxication."

"However, that little bit of drunkenness made you unable to even stand steadily. Okay, since you're alright now, get down here right away."

Yun Mo released his grip on her thigh, wanting her to stand up on her own.

"Hmph." Wen Qingxuan snorted lightly, climbed off his back, and asked, "Where to next?"

Yun Mo was completely clueless when he heard her question. This place was too unfamiliar, and even he didn't know where to go for the time being.

"I think we should follow those Night Bees first, at least to find their hive," Wu Ling said to the three of them, pointing to the swarm of bees that were making a buzzing sound.

"Can."

Yun Mo and the other two exchanged glances and agreed with Wu Ling's opinion. The ancestral land was vast and needed to be explored slowly. Having a goal would probably make things much better.

The four moved swiftly, and the world filled with spiritual energy finally allowed them to roam freely. Even though the ancestral land of the Witch Clan was much larger than the Spirit Road, it did not hinder their progress in the slightest. As for keeping up with Yao Yefeng, it was an easy matter.

It's a bit of a pity that, although this place is vast and boundless, it is just like the ruins outside, extremely dilapidated, and in some ways even more ruined than the outside world.

On the Spirit Road, you can still see the bright sun shining, but here, the whole sky is dark and gloomy, filled with oppression.

"Do you think the world will become like this in the future?" Wen Qingxuan's face rarely showed sadness.

Yun Mo glanced at her and said, "So sentimental. You're just a minor cultivator in the Spirit Wheel Realm. A powerful being could glare at you and you'd be dead. And yet you're still thinking about the future of the Great Thousand World."

His words caused Wen Qingxuan's expression to freeze, and even Wu Yingying's trace of sadness vanished instantly. They glared at him and said, "You're no different. A powerful being can glare at you and you'll die."

After a couple of sentences, their faces relaxed, the desolation disappeared, and smiles returned.

"We've arrived. Those Night Bees came from there."

Wu Ling stopped and pointed to an abandoned palace not far away.

As everyone looked, they saw countless Night Bees, completely enveloping the abandoned palace, making it impossible to count them.

Moreover, the Night Bees seemed to sense an aura that did not belong to their own kind, and became somewhat agitated. At the same time, more and more Night Bees flew out of the palace, wanting to protect their nest.

Although the Night Bees are just ordinary demonic beasts, not even comparable to the first-level spirit beasts of the Spirit Road, their sheer number is enough to send chills down one's spine at a glance, and this is not a matter of strength.

"Should we just charge in? But if we do that, all these Night Bees might die."

Wu Ling's handsome face showed a slight hesitation. These Night Bees were quite good; they only knew how to collect honey, and even that was honey made from rare and precious materials. In reality, they posed no threat to him.

The stinger at the tail of the Night Bee is poisonous, used to paralyze enemies. However, as long as a spiritual energy barrier is formed in front of oneself, the poison can be easily blocked.

Even Wu Yingying, standing in front of the beehive, was able to remain unharmed.

But if I were to kill them all, I would feel a little guilty.

"It would be a waste to break in; we only want their honey." Yun Mo shook his head. How could sustainable development proceed if they were all wiped out? He took out two pieces of black cloth from his storage ring, wrapped one around himself, and threw the other to Wu Ling.

"This is?"

Wu Ling had seen Yun Mo use this kind of black cloth when he fought the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast before. He was quite surprised at the time that this cloth could actually defend against the needles shot by a level seven spirit beast.

This is no less powerful than a typical defensive magical artifact.

Wen Qingxuan's phoenix eyes flashed, and she also took out a piece of black cloth from the token and wrapped herself and Wu Yingying up.

Yun Mo's black cloth is actually made from the silk spun by a demon beast called Tingcan. In addition to its extraordinary defensive power, it also has the ability to conceal its aura.

"Just how many good things are in your storage ring?" Wu Ling couldn't help but ask.

Yun Mo glanced at him, then turned and slowly crawled towards the palace without responding.

At this moment, the Night Bees seemed to have developed human emotions. They discovered that the aura that had made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy had disappeared, and they began to hover above the palace, somewhat at a loss.

They also discovered the black cloth wriggling on the ground, but there was no sign of life emanating from it.

And so, Yun Mo and his companions sneaked into the palace right under the noses of the bees.

This is the location of the Night Bee's nest. Once you get here, there are far fewer Night Bees.

"Am I dreaming?"

Wu Yingying blushed, quietly lifted a corner of the black cloth, looked at the beehive inside the hall, and exclaimed.

"It looks like we've won the lottery!"

Wu Ling swallowed hard, her eyes filled with surprise.

Standing here, the entire palace comes into view. On the ceiling of the palace, there are endless honeycombs, layer upon layer, until they fill every gap, which is incredibly spectacular.

The excess night honey gathered into a stream, flowing along the palace pillars into the honey pool below.

That's right, there was a pool of honey shining with golden light beneath the honeycomb, and its sweet fragrance filled the air.

The Night-Blooming Honey in this honey pool is made by countless Night-Blooming Bees who gather the essence of rare and precious materials, then refine and blend it. Its value is beyond estimation.

Yun Mo led the group forward, squatted down beside the honey pool, and scooped up some Yao Ye honey to put in his mouth.

In an instant, the sweet but not cloying taste exploded in my mouth, and the faint floral fragrance lingered in my nose for a long time.

Yun Mo closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. After a while, his whole body felt numb, and a surge of spiritual energy rose up, causing his physical strength and cultivation level to loosen up. The Yao Ye Honey here not only had the effect of body tempering, but also healing and cultivation.

"These Night Bees have existed for at least a thousand years. Only in this way could the Night Honey undergo a qualitative change," Yun Mo murmured to himself, his dedication to the Night Bees not in vain.

"There's so much Night Honey here, how are we going to take it all?" Wu Yingying also took a bite and savored the taste, but when she saw the token's pitiful storage space, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"We'll just take the honey from this honey pool. Don't touch the beehives. Use your remaining spirit points to exchange for some bottles and jars, fill them as much as you can, and then I'll empty this honey pool."

Yun Mo touched the storage ring on her hand. Fortunately, she had always paid attention to storage space since she was a child, and the storage ring contained quite a lot of treasures.

"Your storage ring is surprisingly large. I remember, it contains a quarter of mine," Wen Qingxuan said, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

"One-quarter of it is mine too!"

"Hurry up and pretend, or the Night Bees above you will spot you."

A moment later, after seeing that Wen Qingxuan and the other two had filled the space of the token completely, Yun Mo took out a gourd from his storage ring.

He placed the gourd into the honey pool, and immediately a terrifying suction force appeared from the gourd's mouth, drawing in all the nearly depleted Nightshade Honey.

The group looked on with envy, and each of them made up their minds that they would definitely have a large enough storage treasure in the future.

But just as the flowing night honey disappeared, revealing what was at the bottom of the honey pool, they could no longer restrain themselves.

"Royal jelly! Royal jelly from the Night Bee!"

If the transformative power of night-blooming honey is comparable to a semi-divine medicine, then royal jelly can definitely be called a divine medicine, and one of the top-tier ones at that.

"This pool must contain at least one-fifth royal jelly, right?" Wu Ling was stunned. He hadn't expected to find such a good thing as soon as he entered the ancestral land of the Witch Clan.

Now that their tokens are full, if they encounter something similar again, won't they get nothing?

"I don't care anymore, Brother Yunmo! A quarter of the things in your storage ring are mine!"

"climb!"

Yun Mo glanced at the troublesome Wu Yingying and said indifferently, "I'll give you a little bit at most. If you want more, you'll have to exchange it for something of the same quality. One divine herb for one bottle of royal jelly."

……

After collecting everything from the honey pool, Yun Mo and the others decisively left the dilapidated palace.

They stood on a hillside, pulled off their black cloths, and couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

"As before, find a place to seek a breakthrough first. If there is no way to improve your cultivation level, then improve your physical strength. Even though this is the ancestral land of the Witch Clan, it is still an unknown place and does not mean that there is no danger."

Yun Mo shared his thoughts with the group, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

"OK!"
