The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Shen Yao and Xianyu flew swiftly all the way, and it was time to rest when they reached the foot of Zhoushan.

The salted fish was about to run out of spiritual power and was forced to fall.

Shen Yao followed Xianyu and found a secluded dense forest, where Xianyu sat down to meditate and recover his spiritual energy.

Shen Yao no longer needs to rely on meditation to replenish her spiritual energy. Her divine-level soul meridian technique, combined with her divine-level spirit replenishment technique, allows her to absorb spiritual energy and recover in any state.

Shen Yao thought to herself: Once we leave Jeju, I need to find a safe place quickly so that Xianyu can try to cultivate the Divine Soul Meridian Opening Technique.

Just then, the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle pushed open the bag lid, crawled out, and said, "This is it!"

Shen Yao asked in surprise, "What's wrong here?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "This is the place where I felt the abundance of natural power in the guest house."

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle flew out of the bag: "I feel that the higher I go, the richer the energy becomes, and it seems to contain some kind of spiritual source power!"

"Primal Spiritual Source Power?" Shen Yao said, "Isn't that something only Primal Spiritual Source Beasts and Primal Spiritual Source Cores possess?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "Once the salted fish has recovered enough spirit, we'll go to the mountaintop."

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle really wanted to go and investigate on his own first, but his daughter was still busy running around, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving alone.

After meditating for a quarter of an hour, Xianyu felt that his spiritual energy had recovered by half, so he stopped trying to replenish it. He was currently busy running around and needed to go to the mountaintop with Shen Yao to investigate first.

To avoid missing it, they decided to hike up the mountain.

As we reached the halfway point up the mountain, the golden beetle's antennae emitted a faint glow.

The golden beetle said, "It is indeed the source of spiritual energy! And I feel it is getting closer and closer to us."

While the salted fish was meditating, the cloud-dwelling black-hoofed beast was restless in the cave.

It sensed the same primordial spiritual energy as that within its soul core, which seemed different from its water spiritual energy, but was definitely of the same kind.

It sensed that this different source of spiritual energy was at the foot of the mountain.

Soon after, it felt that the source of spiritual energy was approaching it again.

After much hesitation, the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast decided to go and investigate.

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle sensed the source of spiritual energy getting closer and closer because the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast was also getting closer and closer to the mountainside...

Shen Yao suddenly realized, "Don't you guys find it strange? We haven't encountered any strange beasts along the way."

There aren't even any exotic birds!

Golden Beetle: "It must be because of this Spirit Source Beast, or the owner of this Spirit Source Core, who deliberately dispelled the strange beast."

Shen Yao and Xianyu were getting closer and closer to the mountaintop.

The Cloud Cliff Blackhoof Beast was getting closer and closer to them...

The golden-armored beast couldn't resist crawling out of the bag, and Shen Yao let it lie on her arm.

Suddenly, several beams of water rushed towards them. Shen Yao dodged them with a leap, while Xianyu stepped forward and formed hand seals: "Fire Disc!"

The Fire Disc Seal was formed, and several fire discs flew out, scattering the incoming crescent-shaped water blades.

Shen Yao met the eyes of the salted fish and a pair of chestnut-colored beast eyes.

While Shen Yao and Xianyu were still in shock, the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast turned and ran, its four hooves kicking up mist as it ran incredibly fast.

Salty Fish said, "It looks exactly like the beast carving on the jade tablet."

Shen Yao asked the golden beetle, "Is it... a Cloud Cliff Blackhoof Beast?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "It is indeed the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast, and it's a small beast that's almost an adult."

Shen Yao: "I have never seen such a beautiful spirit beast."

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle was jealous: "How do you put me in your position when you say that?"

Shen Yao quickly coaxed it, "It's not as cool as you. The sect leader is incredibly cool and awesome."

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle was quite pleased.

The salted fish asked, "What does 'awesome' mean?"

"Ah, this..." Shen Yao laughed awkwardly, "Haha, it means the sect leader is very powerful, he can hang the enemy in the air and blow them up, haha, hahahahaha."

The salted fish suddenly realized.

……

The Cloud Cliff Black-hoofed Beast sprinted back to the cliff cave and charged inside, relentlessly rushing into the dark passageway.

The Cloud Cliff Black-hoofed Beast galloped all the way to the deepest part of the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a cliff mouth, below which mist rose and swirled.

The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast rushed out of the cliff and jumped in.

Below the cliff, the area was filled with perfect stones. The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast lay trembling in the jade-white perfect stone pit.

'This is terrifying.' Cloudy Crow-hoofed Beast thought, 'They captured my kind and tried to attack me, but I can't beat them... Waaaaaah... Cloudy Crow-hoofed Beast is scared...'

'Ya Ya is really scared.'

……

The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast was indeed very afraid. It had been formed from the cliff pool of Qiwu Mountain and had grown up alone for many years.

After absorbing the natural power of the cliff pool, Yunya sensed that the natural power energy in Zhoushan was abundant, so he began a long journey, enduring countless hardships to reach Zhoushan.

On its way there, it was spotted by a group of immortal cultivators who chased it for a long time...

After finally arriving in Zhoushan, they found a cave to stay in, but were constantly harassed by strange beasts in the mountains.

Finally, a month before adulthood, it received some of the inherited memories of the original spirit beast, practiced two source beast techniques, drove away the strange beasts in the mountains, and found this cave with abundant spiritual energy to live in.

But after only two days, another ferocious immortal cultivator arrived and even captured one of its own kind...

The Cloud-Cliff Claw Beast felt that these two fierce female cultivators had definitely come specifically to capture it...

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle spread its wings and flew ahead, leading Shen Yao and Xianyu to find the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast. Soon they arrived at a cliff in Zhoushan.

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle said, "It's down there. You all wait here while I go down and investigate."

A moment later, the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle flew up and shouted, "It's in the cave down below, come quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao and Xianyu immediately flew to the cave with the golden beetle.

The Cloud Cliff Black-hoofed Beast trembled even more violently in the Ten Perfect Stone Pit...

'They're coming, they're coming... Please don't let them find this place!'

The Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast stood up in a panic, ran around the Ten Perfect Stone Pit a few times, and then lay back down in the middle of the Ten Perfect Stone Pit, trembling.

Shen Yao looked at the dark passageway inside the cliff and had no desire to go in.

Seeing this dark space reminded her of the time she spent in the spatial rift.

It was just as dark, so very dark.

That experience was really bad.

Salty Fish had already curiously walked into the passageway; she felt there was something good inside.

The golden beetle urged, "Girl, why aren't you leaving?"

Shen Yao: "It's really too dark. No cave in Minshan is this dark."

The golden beetle laughed at her: "So you're afraid of the dark." As it spoke, the golden beetle spread its six wings, its whole body glowing, instantly illuminating the cave.

"Wow, Sect Leader is amazing!" Shen Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "Sect Leader is indeed omnipotent!"

"Hahaha." The golden beetle felt he was growing to like this girl more and more: "Let's go, Little Koi has already gone inside."

The passageway was indeed too dark. Xianyu gathered a ball of fire in his palm, used it to light his way back, and when he didn't see Shen Yao, he stood still and waited.

Guided by the glowing golden beetle, Shen Yao quickly caught up. Seeing the ball of fire in Xianyu's palm, Shen Yao looked at Xianyu, then at the golden beetle, her face full of envy.

In the world of cultivation, it's good to be able to generate your own light source.

Another day of envying cultivators with fire spiritual roots!

It's said that it glows when I form hand seals to cast spells...

You can't perform magic while walking, can you...?

There's no target to attack...

If that opportunity arises, it doesn't seem impossible...
