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

Day two.

"How many spirit points did we spend on our accommodation? It seems pretty good." Wu Ling munched on a spirit fruit she had brought from her residence and looked at Yun Mo.

They are now surveying the land they are guarding.

Now, more and more people are guarding the land. Whether they participate in the final selection or not, they will eventually have to come here.

However, generally speaking, very few people will back out at the final stage, because that means giving up the qualification for spiritual initiation and wasting the precious time spent on the spiritual path.

Unless there is absolutely no certainty and it is done out of necessity to save one's life.

"It's not a lot. The tokens we snatched from the road earlier still have nearly two thousand spirit points, which is enough for our expenses for the next few days. We can even exchange them for something," Yun Mo replied.

Nowadays, bartering is much more sophisticated, and healing and body-strengthening elixirs are readily available. This is probably due to the widespread availability of Spirit Road maps, which makes it impossible for the rare and precious materials of the Spirit Road to remain hidden.

However, what they wanted to exchange was rather outrageous.

For example, a battle weapon with the strength of a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

Or perhaps armor of low-grade spiritual weapon quality.

It should be noted that the golden armor and red dress that Yun Mo had given Wen Qingxuan almost used up all of his spiritual points, which was the only way that their little group could continue.

It's a bit outrageous that someone would dare to offer a spiritual artifact in exchange for just a few spiritual herbs.

But this is enough to prove just how precious the elixirs and these soldiers were before the selection.

Perhaps someone will break through after consuming a body-tempering elixir? That's a gamble some people take. Similarly, if someone was injured beforehand, they will naturally need to recover to their peak condition for the final selection.

"Why don't you bring something to exchange as well?" Wen Qingxuan smiled and said to Yun Mo.

"Me? Should I use Nightshade Honey or Nine-Leaf Fruit? To be honest, although the stuff they have is not bad, it's far inferior to what I have. As for magical artifacts and such, forget it, I don't need them."

There weren't many trading stalls, and they were located in this protected area; they soon came to an end.

But just as the group was about to leave, some groups started hurling insults at them.

Perhaps due to the pressure of the selection process, or perhaps due to youthful impetuosity, friction was bound to occur.

However, none of them dared to make a move here.

Insults become a way to provoke the other party.

"Are they trying to provoke the other side into making a move, so that the Mirror of Judgment can just kill them?" Wu Ling was both amused and exasperated.

"That definitely seems to be the case. It looks like there are more and more people gathered there. Should we go take a look?" Wu Yingying's eyes darted around as she looked at Yun Mo.

"No, forget it. It's better to go back and study the Witch Clan's Body Tempering Scripture. By the way, have you learned even a little bit of it yet?" Wu Ling rejected Wu Yingying's suggestion on Yun Mo's behalf.

The Witch Clan Body Tempering Scripture is very difficult to comprehend. It contains only nine strange symbols. Moreover, what is extremely peculiar is that this scripture can only be understood through one's own careful perception, and one cannot borrow the experience of others. This is actually normal, since everyone's physical body is different.

Although they all ultimately achieve the Heavenly Demon Body, the processes involved are vastly different. It can only be said that this is indeed the strongest body-forging technique in the Great Thousand World.

"Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?" Wu Yingying rolled her eyes at him. She estimated that with her aptitude, it would take her a long time to transform her body into a Heavenly Demon Body.

The four stopped wandering around and went to the martial arts arena where the selection would take place.

The arena is indeed magnificent, with a vast space that encompasses almost a third of the protected area.

The area was also very flat, with virtually no place to hide, but the selection rules were unknown.

"What do you think the final selection rules for this Spiritual Path will be?" Yun Mo asked the three Wu Lings.

"Based on past practices, it should be a fight, that's the simplest and most effective way."

"That's right. The old man in the Martial Spirit Academy once said that those who survive to the end will naturally enter the final stage, and once they enter it, they cannot back down."

"Yes, the condition for participation is to possess a token, and you can also steal tokens during the selection process."

"So that's how it is."

Yun Mo nodded. At first, he thought that as long as he had the token, he could go to the end and obtain the qualification for initiation.

There are three routes in total on the Spirit Path, and each route has a protected place.

This means that in the end, only about thirty people will still be able to stand on this fighting arena.

According to Yun Mo's observation, there are still at least two hundred people participating in the trial at this protected place, which is truly worthy of being called the Gu Road.

Thinking of this, Yun Mo looked at Wu Ling and Wu Yingying, feeling a little curious, and asked, "What about the final stage? What is that?"

"We don't understand. The final stage involves no more than a hundred people, and almost every time it's done differently. It depends on what the spiritual institute that's organizing this spiritual path thinks."

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this. Let's focus on the selection in two days. We also need to go back and prepare," Yun Mo said to Wen Qingxuan and the other two.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Although they are very confident in their own strength, they cannot be careless about anything in this world. After all, the slightest carelessness could lead to their death.

……

In Yunmo's room.

"Is there anything you want to exchange for from the tokens? Don't waste your spirit points," Yun Mo said to Wen Qingxuan and the other two.

"I want that scarlet crescent blade; it's not very effective with the bow and arrow inside!" Wu Yingying's eyes lit up, as if this was the moment she had been waiting for.

"You little brat, you want a crescent-shaped halberd!"

"Qingxuan has a spear, Wuling has a battle staff, and even you have a halberd. Why can't I have a more imposing weapon?"

"Uh... she used to wield a big sword at the Martial Spirit Academy," Wu Ling said, covering her face.

"You really are a wild girl. This crescent blade is considered a low-grade spiritual weapon in the token, worth over a thousand. If I exchange it for you, then Wu Ling and Qing Xuan won't have anything left to exchange for." Yun Mo said, glancing at the information in the token.

"I don't have anything to change," Wen Qingxuan shook her head.

"And what about you?" Yun Mo asked Wu Ling.

"Me too, let's replace all of them with that crescent blade."

In Wu Ling's opinion, Wu Yingying's crescent blade was indeed much better than the longbow. In the martial arts arena, few people would use a longbow to fight others, since being approached by several people would be a very troublesome matter.

Moreover, most of what she had learned before was related to this.
