The passage itself was more than ten zhang high and over twenty zhang wide, with no clear destination in sight. Even the three-headed python, a formidable spiritual beast, dared not venture within. One could only imagine the dangers that lay ahead.

Under the faint illumination ahead, on both sides of the passage, lay numerous massive and robust spiritual beasts, sprawled haphazardly. They were not dead—they were alive. The rhythmic *whooshing* sounds they had heard earlier were, in fact, the snoring of these slumbering beasts.

Li Wenbo’s steps trembled as he whispered to Ye Wushuang, “Brother Ye, these spiritual beasts…”

They were fourth-stage spiritual beasts—Divine Wind Bears. These creatures were incredibly swift in their movements, but running consumed a great deal of their energy. As a result, Divine Wind Bears were known for their love of sleep. In fact, nearly two-thirds of a Divine Wind Bear’s life was spent in slumber, with the remaining time either spent sprinting or preparing to sprint.

Ye Wushuang whispered back, “Don’t make a sound. It’s hard to wake a Divine Wind Bear from its deep sleep unless it feels threatened.”

Li Wenbo nodded in agreement. The two continued to move deeper into the passage, navigating through the sleeping Divine Wind Bears. The smallest of these bears had a body over ten zhang in size, while the largest were nearly thirty zhang. These bears, huddled together in their sleep, seemed quite content.

As they made their way through the bears, which stretched over a hundred meters, there were hundreds of them. If they were to kill these bears, they would earn at least two million spiritual points. But both of them knew that such a feat was nothing more than a dream.

Soon, they saw faint glimmers of light ahead, soft and warm, giving off a cozy feeling.

“Earth Spirit Fire Jade!” Li Wenbo exclaimed in delight, turning to Ye Wushuang and whispering, “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. This jade naturally contained a very gentle fire attribute energy. When absorbed by a martial artist, it could not only temper the body and meridians but also refine one’s 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 front of them, in the center of the passage, stood a massive, round Earth Spirit Fire Jade, towering over ten zhang high 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, “Then how about we absorb the energy from the Earth Spirit Fire Jade right here?”

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!”

The sleeping Divine Wind Bears posed no immediate threat, as long as they didn’t make too much noise, they should be safe.

The two detoured to the other side of the massive Earth Spirit Fire Jade, sat cross-legged, and touched it with their hands. A gentle power flowed into their bodies.

At this moment, the soothing sensation was simply intoxicating.

“So 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, however, remained silent, focusing solely on absorbing the energy from the Earth Spirit Fire Jade into his body.

Time ticked by slowly.

After an hour had passed.

Eight Yuanfu levels had already condensed on Ye Wushuang’s body, 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 not far from 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 seriously trying something? I’m about to break through. Don’t cause trouble! If you keep this up, I’ll get angry!”

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

“You’re the one touching me, and I’m not allowed to say anything?”

“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.
