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

Several days have passed, and today is the day the spiritual path is opened.

To enter the Spirit Path, one only needs to use the Mirror of Judgment or a teleportation array. The Green Wood Academy uses a teleportation array, but this requires spatial coordinates, which are controlled by the Five Great Academies. When the time comes, the teleportation array will naturally open.

Now, Qing Yilun and several academy elders stood here with Yun Mo and Qing He, waiting for the time to come. Yun Mo was still tied up, and something was stuffed in his mouth.

"Waaah...waaah."

Yun Mo was trapped in Qing Yilun's domain, writhing in the air, trying to attract attention. Now that his spiritual power was sealed, the only way for him to break free of the chains was for Qing Yilun or Qing He to untie him.

However, Qinghe kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, with only the teleportation array in his eyes. Even if he caught a glimpse of Yun Mo's movements out of the corner of his eye, he could only pretend not to see them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but if he did, there would be two of them bound hand and foot. He knew the Dean's methods; he had been punished by the Dean many times before for helping Yun Mo.

After observing Yun Mo for a while, Qing Yilun smiled, dissolved the spirit ball in his mouth, and said, "How do you feel? Have you figured it out? Are you going to go on this spiritual path or not?"

"Now I understand how you knew what was in my storage ring. You've been secretly looking at it!" Yun Mo resigned himself to his fate. It was just killing people on the Spirit Road, anyone could do that, but his eyes were still fixed on the disrespectful old man Qing Yilun as he spoke.

Qing Yilun remained calm and composed; the pictures and text were actually quite good.

He avoided these topics and said, "It seems you are still sensible. Don't worry, this spiritual path is not simple, you don't need to worry about wasting time."

It was originally a small, shattered continent, broken during a battle between a powerful being and an extraterrestrial evil race. Afterwards, it was controlled and remodeled by the Five Great Academies, and it must contain unimaginable relics.

Yun Mo curled his lip. There was indeed a great opportunity inside. Mu Chen obtained the foundation for his struggle for supremacy from inside, but you don't even know who he is.

He had no intention of competing with Mu Chen for something. Who knew what would happen if he stole Mu Chen's opportunity and the outcome changed? If Mu Chen was too weak at the end because of him, he would be devastated.

Just as Yun Mo was about to say something, the teleportation array began to change.

Streaks of light appeared, radiating bright light. At the same time, spiritual energy fluctuations appeared inside the teleportation array, with ripples spreading within it. This was a sign that the spiritual path had been opened.

Qing Yilun watched this scene calmly, and without saying anything more, he grabbed Yun Mo and threw him directly into the teleportation array.

"Qinghe, you should go in too. Once you're inside, don't bother looking for Yunmo. Just develop your own paths; yours are different."

……

Spiritual Road.

Despite being called a spiritual path, there is no spiritual energy present. Furthermore, since this place was previously the battlefield of the Heavenly Sovereigns, their terrifying power completely disrupted this shattered continent, causing the laws of divine competition to appear in the sky.

The Divine Competition Law will suppress the cultivation level of everyone in this space; unless they are Earthly Sovereigns, they will all become ordinary people.

After the Spirit Road came under the control of the Five Great Academies, its unique characteristics made it an excellent training ground, specifically used to select geniuses and guide them into the Five Great Academies for cultivation.

Just like today, the peaceful place has become lively again.

"Thump~"

Ripples of space surged, and then hundreds and thousands of cracks of varying sizes appeared in the sky. Within these cracks, figures moved about; they were the chosen ones who were participating in the Spiritual Path Trial.

Yun Mo was one of them.

However, unlike others, he manifested in the air and before he could react, he crashed straight to the ground, wincing in pain.

Without spiritual energy and with cultivation sealed, it's like being sent back to square one in one step.

"Damn, this is bad luck. Why is the teleportation point in the sky? Is the academy's teleportation array made of shoddy material? It's practically killing us! Those academy elders must be taking kickbacks!"

Yun Mo rubbed his back, his lips twitching slightly. Fortunately, he had practiced some body-strengthening techniques, which prevented him from getting seriously injured.

He felt the transparent chains binding him, struggled slightly, and snapped them instantly.

There is no spiritual energy in the spiritual path, so naturally there is no subsequent power to maintain its form. Even an ordinary person can easily tear it apart.

"This must be the Spirit Road. It seems like I'm the only one around... wait! There's someone else!"

Yun Mo looked around and found that there was another person lying on the ground not far away. That person seemed to be just as unlucky as him, having also fallen from the sky. Because he no longer had spiritual power to protect him, he was still clutching his arm.

Strike first, or suffer the consequences!

Yun Mo decisively picked up a relatively sharp stone and threw it hard at the other person.

At the same time, he stomped his foot heavily, his palm leaving a sharp mark and generating a gust of wind. His figure shot towards the figure like an arrow, intending to render the opponent unable to fight.

Since we've resigned ourselves to being here, we need to stay alert and not let ourselves be caught off guard.

He doesn't look down on anyone in this world; this is based on his experience from two lifetimes.

Moreover, on the Spiritual Path, everyone starts as an ordinary person, which means that no matter who it is, everyone has the ability to threaten the others, even though Yun Mo's cultivation level was quite good before.

"Damn, this is bad luck. The teleportation location isn't great."

Mu Chen, who had fallen to the ground, grimaced and rubbed his slightly numb arm. He looked a little annoyed, but fortunately, he was not injured and would recover after a short rest.

But just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound, which made his heart tighten.

"hidden weapon!"

Mu Chen turned his head and narrowly avoided the heavy blow of the hidden weapon at the last second.

"Who!" Mu Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Why was someone throwing hidden weapons right away? Is this what they call the Spirit Road?

However, just as he was about to trace the murderer's movements, another palm strike came straight at his face, the sharp force even scraping his cheek painfully.

The surprise attack with a hidden weapon, coupled with the subsequent palm strike, caused Mu Chen to lose the initiative and had no choice but to retreat backward to temporarily avoid the attack.

However, Yun Mo did not give up the opportunity to attack. Although he was somewhat surprised by the speed of the opponent's reaction, he still leaned forward again and used his strength to knock the opponent down with his shoulder and elbow.

This involves concentrating all of one's strength into a single point and unleashing it. If there is no reaction and the impact is solid, the person would likely suffer a very tragic end.

Mu Chen's teeth ached slightly. Why did entering the Spiritual Path mean fighting to the death? Moreover, the opponent's strength made him feel extremely troubled. His current situation was very dangerous, and he had no choice but to deal with it.

With his thoughts racing, he could only slightly turn his body to the side, his hands opening and closing in a gesture of one above the other, then turning them into palms against his chest, attempting to use the skillful force of softness to overcome hardness and dissipate this terrifying power.

"Bang!"

A terrifying force crashed down, producing a dull thud. Mu Chen, ultimately caught off guard, was unable to gather all his strength and was unable to withstand this terrifying power, being sent flying.

Fortunately, due to his extremely appropriate response, he did not suffer serious trauma.

He twisted and rolled in the air in a strange posture, then landed steadily on the ground after dissipating the force.

Mu Chen shook his hands, which were almost numb, and looked at the other person. He found that the other person was just standing there and did not seem to want to rush up again.

He pursed his lips, taking this opportunity to try his best to adjust his state.

Father was right. In the Spirit Road, there are almost no friends, only enemies. Especially since he doesn't know anyone here, he should be even more careful. Only the one who survives to the end is the winner.

It's just ridiculous that someone ambushed me as soon as I walked in, and almost broke my defenses.

Yun Mo, on the other hand, frowned slightly. He realized that his opponent was not someone to be trifled with. It would take at least a hundred moves to defeat him as an ordinary person.

This is still because he lacked martial ethics and launched a sneak attack.

"Tsk, if I had known I would run into such a troublesome person, I wouldn't have launched a sneak attack first. I should have just run away. I was too excited."

Now, this person will definitely hate me, and it will be difficult to have a peaceful ending.

"Does he have to fight to the death? But if he does that, I'm not sure I'll be safe." Yun Mo was a little annoyed. He wanted to see the characters from the story, but he didn't expect the first person he encountered to be so difficult to deal with.

It's all because of my youthful body; the hot blood in my veins always seems to have inexhaustible energy.

After thinking it over, Yun Mo shook his head. Since the fight had started, there was no reason for it to stop.

He looked closely and saw that the other side had also taken their stance.

"Heh, you're pretty good. My name is Yun Mo. What's yours? You dodged my three blows so easily. Can we talk this over and not fight?"

Yun Mo spoke first, and at the same time, bent down to pick up a stone, preparing to look for an opportunity.

His words, coupled with the action of picking up stones, made Mu Chen's eyes twitch and his forehead covered in black lines.

He had never seen such a shameless guy. He said he wanted to discuss it, but his hands showed no sign of stopping, and he did it all in such an open and aboveboard manner.

Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. He wasn't about to sit idly by and wait for his doom. He picked up a stone, his gaze calm yet cold, and said, "Yun Mo, right? My name is Mu Chen."

I don't think there's any room for negotiation between us. You attacked me first, and now you want to just let it go? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, is there?

Are they trying to take advantage of the situation? Don't they know who they are?

Wait! What did he say his name was? Mu Chen?

Yun Mo's nonchalant expression froze instantly, and his momentum to attack halted. His voice trembled as he asked incredulously, "Say it again, what's your name...?"

Mu Chen looked at him with some confusion. How come his momentum had suddenly dissipated? If he rushed up now, he would have a great chance of gaining the upper hand.

"Mu Chen!"

"Heh, heh heh, so I didn't mishear."

Yun Mo was in despair. His face was long and crestfallen. He wished he could slap himself. Why had he suddenly become so combative?

Why fight with someone? Especially someone destined for greatness!
