"That's natural." Li Lin nodded in agreement.

"Come with me. If I hadn't waited for you for a few days, I would have gone to the Sacred Pool to cultivate already." The nine-tailed fox Bai Ling said lightly, "The Sacred Pool, every three years, only has about a month's time where it can have that kind of cultivation acceleration effect."

The two followed behind the nine-tailed fox and entered the grand hall again. Little dragon also arrived on Li Lin's shoulder, while the dual-headed hydra followed into the grand hall.

Inside the grand hall, under the guidance of the nine-tailed fox Bai Ling, they entered an inner hall and found a hidden stone room. As a faint aura fluctuated around the nine-tailed fox, a two-meter-diameter hole suddenly appeared in the stone room, slowly rotating, emitting astonishing spatial power.

"Wormhole, is there actually a wormhole here?" Cui Yu was immediately surprised upon seeing the rotating vacuum hole.

"Wormhole?" Li Lin was also somewhat surprised, having heard of this term in his previous life.

"This is a wormhole, some people call it a spatial passage. This place was told to me by a dying monster beast powerhouse. It said that this place used to be the territory of a human powerhouse, and the underground wormhole was arranged by that powerhouse. This wormhole directly connects to the location of the Sacred Fruit," the nine-tailed fox said.

"This wormhole seems to have some signs of disorder, probably due to some damage, but it should not be a big problem, just that it will affect the speed inside," Cui Yu observed the wormhole.

"Is this a wormhole?" Li Lin marveled. The wormhole was pitch black, like a black hole, and faintly emitted a strange suction force. Looking into it, there was a layer of faint white light and an energy diffusion that seemed to carry a bizarre howling sound that could shake the soul.

"A wormhole is just a point in two spaces, creating a passage connecting them. Even Martial Lords cannot open wormholes; only legendary Martial Emperors can. Martial Lords can break through space to travel, but they are powerless to open wormholes," Cui Yu said.

"Martial Emperor, is there really a Martial Emperor in this world?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows. The legendary Martial Emperor, capable of such formidable power to directly open spatial wormholes, required tremendous strength, beyond moving mountains and seas.

Li Lin sighed inwardly. With a wormhole here, it meant that this secret place of the Yunyang Sect was formerly the residence of a Martial Emperor. However, no treasures were left in the architectural ruins. The treasures left by a legendary Martial Emperor, any one of them, would definitely be powerful.

"I wonder if one day, I can reach the realm of that legendary Martial Emperor," Li Lin murmured in his heart.

"Let's go in," the nine-tailed fox said lightly, then took the lead and jumped into the wormhole. The dual-headed hydra followed with a leap.

Without hesitation, and with a bit of excitement, Li Lin followed with Little dragon and Cui Yu into the wormhole.

The moment Li Lin stepped into the wormhole, a rich spatial airflow brushed over him like water, his vision suddenly darkened, and his body felt weightless for a moment before the sensation quickly dissipated.

When his vision brightened again, Li Lin found himself in a mysterious passage, two meters in diameter, surrounded by rolling spatial airflow, unable to see its end.

Looking through the surrounding spatial airflow, he saw an endless darkness, so profound that it was terrifying, with a deep sense of depth. The entire passage was silent, without any sound.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Despite the quiet, Li Lin could still feel the violent energy fluctuations outside the wormhole, blocked by it. The power to open a passage within space was terrifying.

Seeing the wormhole for the first time, Li Lin was quite composed, but still amazed. Everything was beyond his imagination.

"Let's go," the nine-tailed fox said lightly, a flash of light on its body, and then it swiftly moved forward, its speed almost too fast to describe.

"What a terrifying speed," Li Lin exclaimed.

"There's no gravity inside the wormhole. Just a little bit of true qi, and the speed will be extremely fast," Cui Yu explained upon seeing Li Lin's surprise.

"Is that so." At this moment, Li Lin became even more curious about Cui Yu's movement technique. Such a beautiful woman, deliberately disguising herself as ugly and dressing as a maid, knew many secrets. Cui Yu's background must not be simple.

With a flash of true qi under his feet, Li Lin swiftly moved forward, feeling his body flash through space like lightning, then rushed forward.

"So fast," Li Lin marveled, his speed tens of times faster than in the outside world.

"Boss, it's really strange in here," Little dragon also marveled, widening his small eyes.

"Be careful. If you use too much force, you'll be repelled by the spatial power," Cui Yu warned, following behind Li Lin.

Li Lin then slowed down slightly, his figure flashing instantly through the wormhole.

In a mountain range, within a gray space, continuous mountain peaks were connected in a winding manner.

In a gorge, four huge monster beast corpses were piled up, all of them at the fourth level, with their abdomens cut open by sharp blades, and their monster cores taken away.

In the gorge, nine figures appeared, including Yun Hongling, Han Feng, Zhan Dao Qu Daojue, Ba Dao Long San, Fei Ying Ling Feng, Gui Shou Du Zichun, and others.

"Junior sister, we should be close to the location of the Martial Spirit Sacred Fruit," Han Feng, with a handsome appearance and a noble air, said to Yun Hongling.

In the entire Yunyang Sect, almost everyone knew that the sect leader, Yun Xiaotian, planned to choose a son-in-law from his two disciples, Han Feng and Dong Pan, and Han Feng had a higher chance than his junior brother.

Therefore, over the years, Han Feng always treated this junior sister as his future wife, though the competition between the two brothers was not infrequent. However, Yun Hongling had always ignored them, leaving Yun Xiaotian with no choice.

"Let's continue on our way. There are only nine Martial Spirit Sacred Fruits. Everyone, be careful," Yun Hongling said softly, entering the secret place in a green combat outfit, showing her figure's curves, exuding a heroic and refreshing feeling.

"We've also encountered many obstacles along the way. It seems like we haven't met other people," Ba Dao Long San said lightly.

"They probably encountered more obstacles. It's best if they're too late to arrive. If each of us gets one Martial Spirit Sacred Fruit, there's no need to fight," Fei Ying Ling Feng said with a light smile.

"It's unlikely. Their strength is not weak," Gui Shou Du Zichun, always gloomy, said.

"Who cares? When the time comes, we'll speak with our strength," Yun Hongling said coyly.

"This secret place is truly mysterious. The cultivation speed is actually five times faster. I feel like I should break through again soon," Ba Dao Long San said.

"It is very mysterious, but you're not as terrifying as Hongling, right? She went from the sixth level of Wu Po to the eighth level in two months. That's terrifying," Fei Ying Ling Feng teased Ba Dao Long San.

"Who can compare with her? She's a tri-elemental martial artist, equivalent to fifteen times the outside cultivation. Two months is like two and a half years of cultivation. She is a monster," Ba Dao Long San glared at Fei Ying Ling Feng, then looked at Yun Hongling in surprise. This cultivation monster was unmatched in the entire Yunyang Sect. Especially after breaking through Wu Po, her cultivation speed was two to three times faster than normal martial artists. That's the terror of a tri-elemental martial artist.

"I guess Li Lin has also made a breakthrough during this time. He's also a tri-elemental martial artist," Fei Ying Ling Feng said.

"Don't mention that thief in front of me. Whoever mentions him, I'll be angry with them, hmph," Yun Hongling huffed and then walked forward.

The group exchanged glances, smiled bitterly, and followed Yun Hongling.

With a ripple in space, several figures emerged from a two-meter-diameter wormhole, bringing a wave of spatial energy.

"Are we out?" The wormhole's wonders left Li Lin extremely shocked. Now out of the wormhole, he was still somewhat astonished. Such a peculiar wormhole directly connected two places, which was quite surprising.

"We've arrived," the nine-tailed fox Bai Ling, transformed into a one-meter size, slightly raised its head towards Li Lin.

"Is this underground?" Li Lin's gaze was already cast around. This was a cave-like place underground, surrounded by many stalactites hanging in various colors and shapes, forming a beautiful scene with their colorful lights.

The cave's surroundings were smooth and shiny rocks, with thin streams of water flowing on the rock walls, making a dripping sound.

"The energy aura here is so rich," Cui Yu said, feeling a strong energy aura around.
