Time passed slowly in this space, everything fell into a quiet state, except for the majestic flow of energy, which continuously poured into the pond like an eternal stream.

"Junior Sister, look quickly, we've arrived. That is the location of the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit," said one among a group of nine figures standing on the ground in a forest, consisting of Yun Hongling, Han Feng, Qu Daojue, and six others. At this moment, Dong Pan was excitedly looking ahead and speaking to Yun Hongling.

As everyone turned their gaze, they saw a vast plain appearing in the distant space ahead, with an immense expanse. In the center of the plain stood a mountain, not too tall, standing alone on this vast plain. A rich and unique energy aroma wafted from the top of the mountain, spreading in the air above.

This aroma made everyone's spirits tremble, feeling a massive force calling them from afar, their hearts beating in response.

"We've arrived, indeed. This is the location of the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit."

As Yun Hongling followed Dong Pan's gaze toward the mountain, Zhan Dao Qu Daojue, Fei Ying Lie Feng, and others also noticed the mountain. Instantly, exclamations of surprise were heard from everyone, each filled with shock.

Along the way, they had all undergone absolute trials, and now, each of them bore the look of having weathered many storms. Finally, they had reached their destination.

"We've finally arrived, let's go and take a look." Feeling the soul-stirring energy, Yun Hongling exclaimed excitedly, her true qi propelling her forward in a leap.

"Let's go." Ba Dao Long San, Gui Shou Du Zichun, and others also quickly followed, each of them excited.

Everyone moved swiftly, and in just a moment, they reached the base of the mountain, where a majestic aura began to permeate. This aura also contained a soul-suppressing essence, exerting an absolute suppression on everyone.

The mountain was not tall, just a thousand meters high with a diameter of several hundred meters. Surrounding the mountain was an endless vast plain, empty and silent, as if it had been quiet for ten thousand years.

At this moment, however, they witnessed a different shocking sight. On the mountain, which was a thousand meters high, a huge vine covered in green light and about a hundred meters in diameter stretched from the ground, winding around the mountain several times like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

This green vine, surrounded by large leaves spreading hundreds of meters wide, enveloped the entire mountain, making it difficult to see the vine from afar.

On this vine, near the top of the mountain, hung nine fruits the size of a baby's fist, red and green in color. Under the massive vine and leaves, these nine small fruits were almost inconspicuous.

However, at this moment, a very rich energy emanated from these small fruits, spreading throughout the space, filling this vast area with a rich energy.

Only now did everyone realize that the energy of the entire secret place seemed to be emanating from these nine fruits. The immense energy caused spatial ripples to spread out around the fruits.

"It's the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit. This is the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit," Han Feng said excitedly.

"It looks like the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit will take a few more days to mature. We've arrived a bit early," Zhan Dao Qu Daojue noted, looking at the nine small fruits.

"The energy is so rich. Let's cultivate here for a few days. The energy here is much stronger than in other places. We shouldn't miss this great opportunity," Yun Hongling suggested lightly.

At this moment, everyone also realized that the energy in this space was much richer than elsewhere. The majestic energy spreading out was truly soul-stirring.

"It looks like we are the first ones here. If no one else arrives by the time the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit matures, we could smoothly harvest them," one of the two young men who joined last among the nine said.

"Hmph, that's a nice thought, but it won't go as you wish," a sinister voice came through.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure had already landed in front of the mountain. With a gloomy look and wearing a long robe, it was Zhao Qinghai, ranked first on the Dragon List.

"Zhao Qinghai."

The faces of the nine changed slightly, each thinking that if no one else arrived in time, they could each smoothly obtain a Martial Spirit Holy Fruit. But now, it seemed unlikely.

"Whoosh whoosh…"

Several swift sounds followed, and in an instant, eight figures landed beside Zhao Qinghai, including Zhao Qingtian and Zeng Chuxiong.

"It's the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit. It really is the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit."

This group, too, was shocked and amazed as they looked at the mountain.

Yun Hongling glanced at Zhao Qinghai and said indifferently, "You're here, so what? If you want the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit, it depends on your own ability."

"Miss Hongling is right. If you want the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit, it's all about your own ability," Zhao Qinghai said lightly. "But I didn't expect that in just three months, Miss Hongling has already broken through to the eighth level of Martial Soul."

"It won't be long before I break through to the ninth level of Martial Soul. I believe it won't take long for me to catch up with you," Yun Hongling said with a serious look.

"Tri-element martial artists are indeed terrifying," Zhao Qinghai said with a somewhat shocked expression, involuntarily thinking of Li Lin. Having not killed Li Lin last time, considering the cultivation speed of a tri-element martial artist, it would become increasingly difficult to deal with him in the future.

"The Martial Spirit Holy Fruit has not yet matured. I think everyone should cultivate on their own for now. Don't waste time. Cultivating here might speed up the process by six to seven times," Han Feng said lightly.

"Alright, then let's all cultivate. We're all from the same sect, so there's no need to worry about anyone attacking while others are cultivating. When the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit matures, we'll see who's stronger," Zhao Qinghai said with a laugh.

"Hehe, then let's all cultivate," Zhan Dao Qu Daojue also said with a laugh, though there was a hint of insincerity in his smile.

Hearing Zhao Qinghai's words, Zhan Dao Qu Daojue, Han Feng, Dong Pan, Fei Ying Ling Feng, and the others just smiled along. Everyone knew that those who could come here were not to be underestimated. The Zhao Qinghai brothers were known within the Yunyang Sect for being outwardly kind but extremely ruthless inside, capable of attacking their own sect members from the shadows.

But at this moment, everyone did not show any signs of concern. As disciples on the Dragon List, their strengths were not too different, and none were easy to provoke.

Zhao Qinghai did not pay much attention to everyone's reactions. Soon, the two groups of people sat down in circles and began to cultivate. Under the majestic energy, no one wanted to miss this great opportunity for cultivation.

Watching everyone, Yun Hongling slowly sat down in a meditative pose, but her gaze inadvertently drifted towards the distance, muttering, "How come cousin and that thief haven't arrived yet? I hope they haven't encountered any danger."

"Stupid thief, you ignore me even when I'm angry, and you won't even coax me. If you're in danger, you deserve it." Looking into the distance, Yun Hongling continued to mutter, "But I hope there's no danger. I want to teach you a lesson myself."

After a while, everyone entered a state of cultivation. On the mountain, the nine Martial Spirit Holy Fruits continued to spread their majestic energy.

"Whoosh…"

A day later, in front of the mountain, among Zhao Qinghai's group, a young man in white was enveloped in a faint blue glow. His aura began to rapidly climb.

"Boom!"

Inside his dantian qi sea, a muffled sound echoed, and his aura suddenly surged, breaking through from the eighth level of Martial Soul to the ninth.

The young man's breakthrough attracted the attention of many, and everyone continued to diligently cultivate. Breaking through in this secret place was not a surprising event.

Time passed again, and at this moment, no one knew that beneath them, numerous fifth-level beasts and Li Lin were deeply engrossed in cultivation. The energy inside the underground cave was much richer than the space above.

Within the underground cave, fluctuations began to surge within the pool, and within a light circle in the milky-white pool water, the aura of jade rapidly climbed, enveloping the entire space in a strong and rich spiritual power.

The aura continued to climb for a long time before finally stopping, and at this moment, jade was still in the midst of cultivation.

Above the mountain, unknown to anyone, the color of the nine Martial Spirit Holy Fruits began to change, with the green color fading away, and the aura becoming even richer. The entire mountain was enveloped in a vast energy that spread throughout the secret land.

As this energy spread, all the beasts in the secret land began to greedily cultivate. For the countless beasts in the secret land, the opportunity to cultivate was rare, so at this moment, they were all striving hard.

And unknowingly, around Yun Hongling, a bright green light circle began to shine, her aura starting to climb. The energy from the surroundings was frantically converging, affecting everyone nearby with its insane gathering.
