Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Split... clone?

No wonder, this explains all the doubts.

A knowing glint flashed in Ling Xiaofeng's eyes, and he replied telepathically:

"Reporting to Senior, our Star Palace is under the command of Fairy Ice Soul to guard the Void Heaven Palace. Since ancient times, there have been no restrictions on cultivators entering the Void Heaven Palace to explore for treasures."

"If Senior Void Heaven Cauldron is interested, please feel free to take it with you."

Even if you were willing to give it to me, would I dare to take it?

Besides, we two don't have much lifespan left, and we're not even capable of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage of the Divine Transformation stage. The Void Heaven Cauldron wouldn't be of much use to us. Could we really leave this treasure to Yu Ling as a potential threat?

Ling Xiaofeng muttered to himself, but he only dared to think it and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Even if the person in front of them was just a clone of an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, the couple would not dare to act recklessly.

Unless... there really is an opportunity that can help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"As for that spatial node, although I have found some clues, I do not have the exact location."

"However, those six supreme saints seem to possess..."

Before Ling Xiaofeng could finish his telepathic message, Mu Yu interrupted him.

"Alright, I know a little about that thing. It's for ascending to the Demon Realm. I'm not a demon cultivator, why would I go to the Demon Realm to be used as target practice?"

"Moreover, the living conditions for humans in the Demon Realm are absolutely terrible."

"And... don't get any more funny ideas."

"There are prohibitions between the Nascent Soul stage and the human realm stage, prohibiting them from interfering with the division of power in the human realm. However, those who deliberately provoke us are exempt from these prohibitions."

"Alright, continue with what you're supposed to do. Since you don't want it, I'll give the Void Heaven Cauldron to a junior."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, he stopped transmitting his voice.

At this moment, Ling Xiaofeng's expression was somewhat unusual, and he could detect a hint of dissatisfaction in Mu Yu's tone.

She wanted to say something to explain, but Wen Qing pulled her back.

At this moment, Wen Qing was almost scared to death by the backlash brought about by the Spirit Darkness Technique.

Since she began cultivating the Spirit Darkness Technique, she had never experienced such a strong sensation.

If Ling Xiaofeng were allowed to continue speaking, Wen Qing suspected that both of them would die...

After forcibly suppressing the panic brought on by the Lingming Technique, Wen Qing, fearing that Ling Xiaofeng would speak again, quickly took charge of the treasure hunt at the Void Heaven Palace.

"The rules of the Void Heaven Palace this year are the same as in previous years: during the treasure hunt, it is forbidden to bully the weak, kill or rob.

"Those who disobey will be wanted and hunted down by the Star Palace."

"But this rule only applies to the outer hall. The two of us will not enter the inner hall, nor can we."

"Therefore, if you are not confident, you should stop outside the inner hall."

"Furthermore, no matter what happens during the treasure hunt, the Star Palace will not offer any assistance."

"Everyone understands what I mean, right?"

After saying all this, the two celestial saints stood quietly in place for the rest of the time without saying a word.

Under the pressure of the Star Palace Twin Saints, the scene was completely silent. Even the few Nascent Soul stage monsters did not dare to use telepathy to communicate.

……

After three days of such quiet, a series of booming sounds rang out, and a white jade door suddenly fell at the entrance of the hall, sealing the entire hall completely.

Upon seeing this, the Core Formation stage cultivators present panicked somewhat, but the Nascent Soul stage cultivators remained calm, as if they had anticipated this scene.

Just then, the two Saints of the Star Palace opened their eyes and slowly walked to the front of the hall.

When the two of them arrived at their designated spot, the ground at the end of the hall shook, and several stone slabs on the ground emitted a dazzling white light.

Without any warning, a teleportation array about ten feet in size suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The two celestial saints, with unperturbed expressions, stepped forward to examine the body and then spoke:

"This is a teleportation array leading to the outer hall of the Void Heaven Palace. You all should proceed with caution."

After speaking, the two Celestial Saints each stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared.

After the Star Palace Saints left, the atmosphere at the scene became noticeably more relaxed. Several Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances and entered the teleportation array.

……

The teleportation array shouldn't be very far, but Mu Yu still felt a slight dizziness after the teleportation was complete.

"It seems to be due to spatial teleportation."

Immediately after being teleported, Mu Yu released her divine sense to scan her surroundings.

But apart from the puppets that teleported with him, there was nothing unusual.

Clearly, he was teleported to a separate place by himself, and even Han Li, who was teleported with him, was separated during the teleportation process.

After thinking it over, Mu Yu still didn't recall the dozens of Core Formation stage puppets beside him.

If he were facing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he wouldn't have time to retrieve these puppets from his storage bag.

So let them follow along; if we encounter a Nascent Soul stage monster, it will serve as a deterrent.

In this outer palace, constantly under the surveillance of the Star Palace, Mu Yu was still reluctant to use his trump cards.

Mu Yu took out a jade slip from his pocket, read the information inside, erased the information, and put the blank jade slip back into his storage bag.

This jade slip was secretly handed to him by Han Li before the teleportation. It contained records of the transaction between Han Li and Xuan Gu, as well as information about the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and so on.

After using his divine sense to determine his location, Mu Yu opened the Azure Origin Sword Shield and slowly walked through the hazy area.

The mist, powerful enough to instantly drain the lifeblood of a mortal, dissipated on its own upon encountering Mu Yu's Azure Origin Sword Shield, without even triggering the Azure Origin Sword Shield's autonomous counterattack.

Before long, Mu Yu encountered several fierce ghosts, probably at the Foundation Establishment stage. Such fierce ghosts were extremely rare in the Void Heaven Palace.

"That's not bad, it'll whet the monkey's appetite."

Mu Yu rummaged through his storage bag and found the Soul-Sounding Pearl in his hand, then swapped the Soul-Crying Beast out of the spirit beast bag.

The newly appeared Soul-Crying Beast showed obvious dissatisfaction on its face, but it immediately became much more energetic after smelling the ghostly mist here.

At this moment, Mu Yu had not yet fully refined the Soul-Sounding Pearl, but if he wanted to use it to control and command the Soul-Sounding Beast, he did not need to refine it completely.

As for why Mu Yu hasn't refined the Soul-Sounding Pearl yet, it's because he's still hesitating about whether to give it to Han Li first so he can go to the Netherworld.

Mu Yu really didn't want to go to that place inside Luo Hou's body where he couldn't use any magic power.

But whether it's ascending to the Spirit Realm, the soul crystals of the Yin-Yang Beasts within Luo Hou's body, or the sinking water, all are things Mu Yu needs.

Therefore, the existence of the Underworld must be considered.

And this Soul-Crying Beast is an excellent trump card in the Netherworld.

"Forget about that for now, let's feed the ghosts a bit and help it grow a little."

As Mu Yu spoke, the Soul-Crying Beast sprayed yellow light from its nostrils, engulfing the few rare Foundation Establishment stage ghosts and swallowing them whole.

The Foundation Establishment stage ghost was treated like food that could not resist, allowing the Soul-Crying Beast to devour it at will.

After eating several fierce ghosts, the howling soul beast's gaze towards Mu Yu softened considerably.

"You little rascal, you'll follow whoever feeds you."

Mu Yu made a couple of jokes with a smile, and then continued on his way.
