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

"Places like spatial nodes... are still a bit too dangerous."

"Since Fellow Daoist Mu has other methods and is willing to take the risk, we will naturally ask for your help."

"This is all the savings the three of us have accumulated in our lifetime."

The three of them, Xiang Zhili, Xiang Zhili, and Xiang Zhili, exchanged glances, then each took out a storage bag and handed it to Mu Yu.

Faced with the storage bags handed to him by the three people, Mu Yu did not refuse and took them, probing them with his divine sense.

Sure enough, this group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators had quite a few good things.

These things would probably make even the Void Refinement stage experts in the Spirit Realm envious.

"These things are making me want to kill someone and steal their treasure."

Mu Yu spoke casually.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Nascent Soul stage old monsters present changed noticeably, but wisely they did not immediately turn hostile.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please stop joking. We have already used up all the high-grade materials we have accumulated in our lives in order to sneak into the Spirit Realm."

"If you do not believe us, we are willing to swear an oath against our inner demons."

As Xiang Zhili spoke, he waited for a long time but did not hear Mu Yu stop him.

Left with no other choice, he had to take the lead in making the vow against his inner demons.

Next, Old Demon Hu and Old Monster Feng reluctantly made a vow to their inner demons, proving to Mu Yu that they truly had no more precious materials than these.

Mu Yu smiled, not paying any attention to the reluctance on their faces.

"Well, although the value is still a bit lacking, it's acceptable."

"After you ascend to the Spirit Realm, you can either serve me or work under those ascended cultivators."

"But be careful not to provoke the native cultivators of the Spirit Realm, and even more so, do not overestimate your abilities and provoke those alien races."

"In the spirit realm, the human race's power is still somewhat weak."

Mu Yu gave a brief reminder, and then set off with the women around him towards the vicinity of the Boundless Sea.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhili and the other two followed Mu Yu.

Mu Yu has already given all the instructions for saying goodbye and giving all the necessary advice, so there's no need to worry about those trivial matters right now.

With Han Li's luck and strength, successfully smuggling himself into the Spirit Realm would naturally not be a problem, but it would still take him some time to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the Heavenly Palm Bottle, Mu Yu had no intention of taking it with him. Instead, he planned to have Han Li cultivate the Profound Heaven Spirit-Slaying Sword in the human realm first.

……

Upon arriving at the Boundless Sea, Mu Yu took out the Spirit-Slaying Crystal that Luo Hou had given him. After waiting for a short while, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) underwent a tremendous change.

Thick fog rose from the sea level, countless black lightning bolts exploded in the sky, and a huge spatial rift appeared in front of Mu Yu and the others.

"Let's go. This is the entrance to the space inside Senior Rahu's abdomen, also known as the Netherworld."

Mu Yu spoke, and then led the women into a streak of azure light, entering the enormous spatial rift.

After a brief hesitation, Xiang Zhili and the others decisively followed behind Mu Yu.

Upon entering the Netherworld, countless silver divine lights converged in one place, reappearing as the human figure transformed from Rahu's divine consciousness, once again appearing before Mu Yu.

Compared to the last time, Rahu seems to have grown up a lot and now looks like a teenager.

Judging from its appearance, this Rahu has passed through its most vulnerable infancy stage. As for whether it has reached a level comparable to the Mahayana stage, Mu Yu has no idea.

After all, whether it's the Integration Stage or the Mahayana Stage, it doesn't make much difference to Mu Yu; both are beings he cannot defeat.

"Why are there so many people? Are these all your Daoist partners? Why are there males among them?"

Upon hearing Luo Hou's description, Mu Yu's face darkened, and he quickly explained, "These three are all my Daoist partners..."

"And this one is the one with the Yin Body!"

"As for the other three, they are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the human realm who are just hitchhiking."

Luo Hou frowned as he looked at Xiang Zhili and the other two, and said, "You three, behave yourselves inside me and don't cause any trouble, or I'll throw you out."

After issuing a couple of warnings, Luo Hou waved his hand and sent the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators to a corner of the Netherworld.

"In a moment, you will need to withstand three times the pressure of the interface. Although it is inside my abdomen, the space within me is not yet large enough to share too much of the pressure for you."

"So it's best for these three to stay away from you, lest you be harmed by them."

Luo Hou spoke up, explaining his actions just now.

Although Mu Yu is only at the Nascent Soul stage, he possesses the power to touch time, so Luo Hou naturally wants to get closer to him.

Although he may not understand what it means to provide timely help, it is perfectly normal for Zhenling to invest in a person with great talent in advance.

Although a true spirit can possess combat power comparable to that of a Mahayana cultivator once it reaches adulthood, there are still distinctions within the Mahayana stage.

Some beings, even true spirits, deserve special respect.

"Senior Rahu, please let me show you the way to the Spirit Realm."

"To be honest, from what I see of the future, your luck is really not that good."

Mu Yu didn't care about Luo Hou's feelings at all, and spoke very decisively.

After all, if we calculate according to the original time...

This Rahu beast had just left the human realm when it ran headfirst into a Hundred-Headed Insect, and both perished together. Nangong Wan, who had just ascended to immortality, got a huge advantage from it.

Whether the work of the Dao Ancestor of Reincarnation is involved, Mu Yu has no idea.

But now that he was inside Rahu's belly, he naturally couldn't let him run into a powerful enemy.

After hearing Mu Yu's words, Luo Hou pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and spat out a silvery light, and a light screen appeared in front of Mu Yu's eyes.

"Okay, you lead the way!"

"This light screen displays my true form, and the direction of the spirit world is..."

Mu Yu was multitasking. On one hand, he used a secret technique to connect his aura with the three women, bearing the pressure of the interface for them. On the other hand, he sensed something through his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Because Mu Yu is currently inside Rahu's womb, Rahu's safety, to some extent, represents Mu Yu's safety.

Their innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune becomes frighteningly sensitive when facing life-threatening situations.

After a while, Mu Yu finished connecting with Luo Hou and said with some helplessness:

"Senior Rahu... just what kind of luck do you have? There are ominous signs in all four directions, and they seem quite serious..."

"Alright, let's go to the right front first. There are some auspicious signs there, so there should be some good stuff."

Following Mu Yu's words, Luo Hou obediently moved forward.

Soon, as Luo Hou left the human realm, an invisible pressure descended upon Mu Yu.

If it weren't for the fact that over the past two hundred years, Mu Yu had slightly modified the Vajra Mantra and the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art, successfully achieving the level of dual cultivation of body and technique, he would have really struggled to cope with this kind of interface pressure.

However, with Mu Yu's current physical strength, bearing the pressure from these interfaces is not too difficult.

"Oh, this is a Netherworld Crystal. This is quite a stroke of luck for you."

"As expected, your talent is even greater than I imagined."

Rahu opened his mouth and swallowed a Netherworld Crystal that was over ten feet tall.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu immediately took out an empty storage bag and put it away.

"Perfect timing. I need to refine some spatial magic treasures after arriving in the Spirit Realm. This Netherworld Crystal has come at just the right time."

"Senior Luo Hou, please turn left first. There's a bit of trouble ahead, most likely a spatial storm or something similar."

Thus, Mu Yu was responsible for guiding the way, while Luo Hou wandered around aimlessly, occasionally encountering some treasures in the void.

On one occasion, Mu Yu even guided Luo Hou to find the location of a true spirit's remains.

Although there were only some broken bones with severely damaged spirituality, they were still a considerable resource for Mu Yu.

Of course, Rahu also gained quite a lot. Some of the good things were taken away by Rahu himself without Mu Yu even seeing them.

"Young friend Mu, with your talent, I'm almost reluctant to give up and leave."

"If we rely on the combined strength of the two of us, we will surely be able to sweep away all kinds of rare treasures, and perhaps... I can even become..."

Luo Hou didn't say what he was going to say next, but it was most likely something from Luo Hou's inherited memories.

"Don't think about it anymore. Everything comes at a price."

"If I were truly as powerful as I appeared, why would I need to rely on my senior's body to sneak into the Spirit Realm?"

"If we do not exercise restraint, in the end we will both be doing the work for someone else."

"Wait, this is such a strong auspicious sign!!!"

"Senior Rahu, immediately turn left..."

Mu Yu was speaking when he suddenly sensed a strong auspicious energy and instinctively gave instructions to Luo Hou.

Having already witnessed Mu Yu's treasure-hunting abilities, Luo Hou turned left without hesitation and headed in an unknown direction.

Before long, a small interface on the verge of collapse appeared in front of Luo Hou and Mu Yu.

"A website that is about to be damaged is indeed a great opportunity."

"Unfortunately, these opportunities are useless to us."

As Luo Hou's voice rang out, the interface in front of them shattered with a deafening roar. Countless violent spatial storms swept in, and countless fragments of space disappeared in the distortion.

Witnessing the destruction of the world firsthand was quite a shock for Mu Yu.

But soon, the auspicious sign sensed by his innate talent made Mu Yu subconsciously say, "Senior Luo Hou, stop the largest spatial fragment on the left."

Hearing Mu Yu's urging, Luo Hou did not hesitate and immediately swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, Rahu's hesitant voice rang out.

"This feeling... it's so familiar... no... it's impossible. Even if a Xuan Tian artifact grows very slowly, how could it not have taken shape by the time the realm became desolate and shattered?"

What was contained within that spatial fragment was none other than a Xuan Tian creature that still possessed vitality.

This thing also looks like a vine, and it looks very similar to the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, but it gives Mu Yu a slightly different feeling: this vine is not only long, but it is also covered with small green flowers everywhere.

Suppressing her excitement, Mu Yu asked calmly:

"Senior Rahu, will the interface ever break down?"

Luo Hou's eyes were fixed on the Xuan Tian artifact before him. Upon hearing Mu Yu's question, he subconsciously replied:

"Of course, an interface will naturally come into existence, and it will also naturally break down."

"The human realm you inhabit is a relatively new realm that has only been established for a short time. As time goes by, the spiritual energy and vitality of the human realm will be continuously depleted, and it will naturally disappear over time."

"However, there are two other scenarios: one is the merging of the two interfaces, and the other is the enhancement of the entire interface."

"Just like the spirit world today, it's a world that has been sublimated."

"As for other situations such as being plundered, those also exist. If the human realm you live in was successfully invaded by the demon realm tens of thousands of years ago, you would be part of the demon realm now."

"However, it's more likely that you won't be born successfully at all. The original human beings will be sacrificed as the human realm merges into the demon realm..."

Luo Hou's words revealed to Mu Yu a truth he had never known before.

This is a cruel yet real phenomenon unique to each interface.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite normal.

According to the information Mu Yu already knows, there are many realms similar to the Spirit Realm around it, and the Demon Realm is just one of the realms that is relatively close to the Spirit Realm.

The Little Spirit Realm that Nangong Wan accidentally entered during her smuggling journey should be a realm slightly higher than the human realm, but still transitioning towards the spirit realm.

If that Little Spirit Heaven were to develop for a longer period of time, would it eventually grow into an interface similar to the Spirit Realm, capable of accommodating Mahayana cultivators?

Mu Yu was pondering the news about the interface, but Luo Hou had already eaten all the flowers and leaves on the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, and said somewhat reluctantly:

"This thing will no longer grow once its original interface was destroyed."

"But for your human race, it should also be a good material for refining weapons, so I'll give it to you."

"It's a pity that if it were to bear fruit, it would be considered a remnant of the Xuan Tian treasure even in the Spirit Realm, but now..."

Luo Hou's tone was somewhat desolate, clearly indicating that the Xuan Tian Treasure had other uses for true spirits.

Mu Yu pretended to be completely unconcerned, cut the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine into several sections, put them into his storage bag, and continued to question Luo Hou:

"Senior Luo Hou, you just mentioned the advancement of interfaces. What are the requirements for advancing an interface?"

"Also, under what conditions will the interface naturally break down?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hou was somewhat curious as to why Mu Yu would be interested in such a thing, but he still patiently explained.

After all, given the lifespan of humans, the interface is almost unchanging for them, so even if they knew about it, it wouldn't be of much use.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Hou still answered, "The reason why interfaces exist is very simple, and that is life..."

"The more lives a screen contains, the more powerful the screen becomes."

"Therefore, if too many living beings are killed within an interface, the interface will take notice and impose punishment."

"As for the interface upgrade..."

"It's simple, all we need is enough Ascended Individuals."

"The ascension path of each ascendant is a rare and invaluable tonic for the interface."

"Those who cross the border illegally like you are not welcomed by the authorities."

But soon, the auspicious sign sensed by his innate talent made Mu Yu subconsciously say, "Senior Luo Hou, stop the largest spatial fragment on the left."

Hearing Mu Yu's urging, Luo Hou did not hesitate and immediately swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, Rahu's hesitant voice rang out.

"This feeling... it's so familiar... no... it's impossible. Even if a Xuan Tian artifact grows very slowly, how could it not have taken shape by the time the realm became desolate and shattered?"
