The passage itself was over ten zhang high and more than twenty zhang wide, and no one knew where it led. Even a spiritual beast like the three-headed python dared not enter, which meant it was undoubtedly fraught with danger.

Under the dim light ahead, on both sides of the passage, lay numerous gigantic and robust spiritual beasts, sprawled in every direction. They were not dead—they were alive. The rhythmic *whooshing* sounds they had heard earlier were, in fact, the snoring of these sleeping beasts.

Li Wenbo’s footsteps trembled as he whispered to Ye Wushuang, “Brother Ye, these are…”

Fourth-stage spiritual beasts—Divine Wind Bears.

These creatures were incredibly fast when they ran, but doing so consumed a tremendous amount of energy. As a result, Divine Wind Bears loved to sleep. In the lifetime of a Divine Wind Bear, nearly two-thirds of its time was spent in slumber, with the rest either spent sprinting or preparing to sprint.

Ye Wushuang whispered back, “Don’t make any noise. It’s hard to wake a sleeping Divine Wind Bear unless it feels its life is threatened.”

Li Wenbo nodded.

The two continued deeper along the passage. There were hundreds of Divine Wind Bears, with the smallest having a body over one zhang tall and the largest nearly thirty zhang. These bears were huddled together, sleeping comfortably.

If they were to kill these bears, they would earn at least two million spiritual points. But both knew that was nothing more than a dream.

Soon, ahead of them, appeared specks of soft, warm light that gave off a cozy feeling.

“Earth Spirit Fire Jade!”

Li Wenbo was overjoyed and whispered to Ye Wushuang, “Brother Ye, we’re going to get rich!”

Earth Spirit Fire Jade was a type of spiritual jade forged by the fires of the earth. It naturally contained a very mild fire-attribute spiritual energy. When absorbed by a martial artist, it could not only temper their physical body and meridians but also refine their own spiritual energy. Moreover, once the spiritual energy was refined and its quality improved, it could expand and enhance the Yuanfu realm.

For martial artists at the Tiangang realm, it was even better. The Tiangang energy was a transformation of spiritual energy; the stronger the spiritual energy, the more powerful the Tiangang energy would be.

In the center of the passage before them was a massive, round Earth Spirit Fire Jade, over ten zhang tall and shaped like a giant millstone.

Li Wenbo approached the jade and whispered, “Can we take it with us?”

Ye Wushuang shook his head.

“What a pity…” Li Wenbo continued, “How about we stay here and absorb the power within the Earth Spirit Fire Jade?”

Such a heavenly treasure was truly hard to part with.

Ye Wushuang was also tempted. After all, with the miraculous effects of this jade, he might be able to reach the ninth level of the Yuanfu realm.

“Let’s give it a try!”

As long as the sleeping Divine Wind Bears were not disturbed, they should be safe.

The two walked around to the other side of the massive Earth Spirit Fire Jade and sat cross-legged, touching it with their hands. A gentle power flowed into their bodies. At that moment, the soothing sensation was simply intoxicating.

“Too comfortable!” Li Wenbo couldn’t help but say, “I feel like I can reach the second level of the Tiangang realm with this.”

Ye Wushuang remained silent, focusing entirely on absorbing the power from within the Earth Spirit Fire Jade.

Time ticked by slowly.

After an hour had passed, eight of Ye Wushuang’s Yuanfu levels had solidified, and the ninth was well on its way to forming.

On the other side, Li Wenbo’s Tiangang energy was also increasing, and he was close to reaching the second level.

Suddenly, Li Wenbo spoke up, “Brother Ye, don’t touch me. I don’t like men.”

Ye Wushuang did not respond.

Li Wenbo continued, “Hey, hey, hey, are you getting frisky? I’m about to break through. Don’t cause trouble! If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry!”

“Why are you making so much noise? If you wake those Divine Wind Bears, we’re both done for!”

“You’re the one touching me and won’t let me talk?”

“I’m not touching you!”

As soon as Ye Wushuang said this, the two looked at each other, and the air suddenly became eerily quiet.
