Ji Yuan learned from a demon slave that the Northwest Sand Prison is in chaos, with rumors of a Great Secret Realm emerging that promises powerful cultivation opportunities. He also heard about dangerous sand bandits operating in the area, whom he suspects are linked to the Black and White Divine Hall. An Yue revealed that the true goal might be to use the blood of 'sinners' from the Yin Ghost Sect to reopen this Great Secret Realm, prompting Ji Yuan to consider the safety of a known sinner, Mu Xueyao.

"Last time, I observed that his head was shrouded in dark clouds, unclear and ominous. This time, upon observing again, his head was surrounded by a purple aura. To break free from such a deadlock... he’s indeed remarkable."

"Are you saying that he no longer fears that couple?"

The demon slave murmured in disbelief and asked.

Because no matter how she pondered, she couldn’t fathom how an early-stage Core Formation Cultivator could bypass a deadlock set up by two Nascent Soul Monsters together.

"Probably so. If he couldn’t escape from those two Nascent Soul Monsters, how could there be an eastern arrival of purple aura?"

An Yue, no longer held an introverted sentiment about this matter.

"Then what does Miss imply?"

The demon slave asked probing-ly.

"Let’s keep watching, there’s no rush."

...

Ji Yuan instantly returned to his Great Dream Island, sitting in his Cave Mansion, he contemplated whether it’s time to leave seclusion.

Moving near Great Dream Island might not attract the attention of the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, but if he sets out to Lindong City, she would most likely notice.

When that happens, he’ll have to cover up one more time, saying that his talent is too poor to make a breakthrough.

"Forget it, let’s head back to the city first, and see if there’s any news about Du Wanyi. Also, regarding the Martial Arts Arena, maybe I need to gather some insights. Otherwise, pondering here would be like building castles in the air with no clues at all."

Ji Yuan thought about going to visit a proper Martial Arts Arena to grasp its essence.

"As for the Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, as long as I don’t make a move, she won’t be able to discern my true cultivation, and at most she would just challenge me a bit. If the breakthrough is delayed for too long, she might even gift me some cultivation materials."

Thinking about this made Ji Yuan even more determined to venture out.

Finally, he went to the depths of the Cave Mansion, first checking on the situation of the Dream Butterfly, previously five years, this time four years, which is just the time spent in seclusion; combined with other cultivation times, Ji Yuan had in the Bone Nightmare Sect the Dream Profound Liquid for over ten years, he himself only tasted a drop, the rest was fed to the Dream Butterfly’s stomach.

But truth be told, feeding Dream Profound Liquid to Dream Butterfly is truly fitting.

Like feeding it with fodder, over these ten years, the Dream Butterfly had evolved from beginning Tier Two, to late Tier Two, and even vaguely showed signs of reaching the peak of Tier Two.

If Rashamon Sea opens a bit slower, it might even advance to Tier Three before it opens, at that time, he would have more means at his disposal.

Since he was going out, taking the Dream Butterfly along was a must.

After all, this creature, even placed within the entire Human Realm’s rare insects ranking, can surely rank within the top thirty-six; such a treasure must be carried alongside.

Thinking about this, Ji Yuan used Divine Sense to glance at another rare insect in the Spirit Platform within Fangcun Mountain.

Accurately speaking, it’s called Winter Worm.

Ranked fourth on the world’s rare insect ranking.

Ji Yuan estimated that adding up the entire Human Realm... it’s probably countable on both hands, unfortunately, this Winter Worm remains in a slumber state.

Over the years, Ji Yuan tried methods to awaken it but, unfortunately, despite combing through countless classic materials, he hadn’t found its Magic Technique.

Helplessly, he could only wait to visit other continents later, to see if he can find a way to awaken the Winter Worm.

Then Ji Yuan came to the nearby Ant Nest, only as he entered did the originally pitch-black ground suddenly move, making way for him towards the core area.

"Damn, with this scene, fortunately, I don’t have trypophobia."

Looking at the densely packed marching ants on the ground, Ji Yuan still felt a slight chill on his scalp.

However, fortunately, after raising them for another four years, the previous fiery marching ants damaged in the Void Nether Stone mines have now not only recovered.

But also raised a large batch of new ants.

"Come out."

Ji Yuan called out, from within the huge ant nest entrance came a rustling sound while the surrounding ants of the nest promptly avoided.

After about one breath of time, out from the entrance crawled a massive iron-armored ant, whole body pitch-black, seemingly dressed in steel armor, while its mandibles gleamed red, as if burnt iron blocks, faintly showing heat waves rolling atop.

From within its mandibles, two red lines extended along its body to the tail, closely inspected one could see magma flowing through the lines.

"Fed it so much Immortal Talent, yet only Tier Two Peak... raising spirit pets is truly a task not meant for humans!"

Ji Yuan glanced at the other marching ants within the Ant Nest, just these alone had consumed nearly twenty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones’ worth of Immortal Talent.

Moreover, the Ant King had yet to advance to Tier Three...

Ji Yuan prepared for his trip to Lindong City to see if there are any suitable Immortal Talents for Tier Two Demon Beasts to advance to Tier Three; if there are, this would be another expense of close to ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

But this expense would be worth it!

Since the current upgrade conditions for the Ant Nest... Ji Yuan glanced at the panel.

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×900; Ant King Cultivation reaching Tier Three; Ant Colony reaching 80,000 ants; Tier Three Demon Pill ×3; Divine Fire Ant carcass ×1. (Not Achieved)]

It was only the Ant King’s cultivation that lacked.

Once the Ant King advances to Tier Three, the Ant Nest reaches Level 3, then "Fire God Spear" can be obtained as the Spirit Effect.

At that time, when paired with the Spirit Devouring Armor produced from Beehive.

His identity as a Body Cultivator could barely be deemed capable of both attack and defense.

Even if the Martial Arts Arena remains unestablished for a long time, it won’t matter.
