The Ruyi ring flashed, taking Lin Bai's body and disappearing beneath the ground.

On a street in the City of the Living Dead, Lin Bai's body jumped out from the void. Looking around, Lin Bai didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly out of the City of the Living Dead.

Roar roar roar roar...

"Ahhhhh... help, help..."

Now, as more and more warriors entered the City of the Living Dead, the demon corpses were also awakened, starting to fight with the warriors in the city.

Thus, at this moment, as Lin Bai arrived in the City of the Living Dead, he could hear the constant cries of warriors around him.

But Lin Bai didn't stop and rushed straight out of the City of the Living Dead: "Now that I've obtained the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring and the Ruyi ring, this will surely make Situ Yuntian furious. If I stay in the City of the Living Dead, I'm afraid he will find me and cause more trouble!"

"Anyway, the treasures I've obtained are already plentiful enough. I should first leave the City of the Living Dead."

Lin Bai's figure flickered as he dashed out of the City of the Living Dead and headed into the distance.

After leaving, Lin Bai sped at full capacity for three days and finally stopped in a desolate primeval forest. He found a mountain, opened a cave mansion, and then went inside.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Bai happily touched the Ruyi ring in his hand and laughed: "This Ruyi ring is truly a treasure. If I use it well, it could surely have miraculous effects!"

Lin Bai grinned, extremely satisfied with the Ruyi ring.

Lin Bai even felt fortunate that he did not hand the Ruyi ring over to Situ Yuntian that day.

And on that day in the mountain range, if Lin Bai knew how extraordinary this Ruyi ring was, even facing Situ Yuntian, a Quasi Holy Son, Lin Bai would still have fought for it!

After a while, Lin Bai took out the green gourd from his storage bag and extracted some Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring. Lin Bai laughed: "I wonder what magical uses this Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring has. Let's try it with the Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Immediately, Lin Bai activated the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit, gradually refining the Spirit Spring in the green gourd into pure spiritual power, injecting it into Lin Bai's body, transforming it into spiritual power injected into the Divine Elixir.

"Sure enough, it can be refined with the Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai's face lit up with joy: "Then refining it would be much simpler."

"This Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring actually has effects of enhancing cultivation and healing injuries!"

"No wonder those warriors from Sky Blue City could rely on the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring to resist the Demon Sect disciples!"

"If back then the Divine Sect and Demon Sect didn't wage war, this Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring would probably still be an important cultivation treasure within the God-Demon Sect!"

Lin Bai was pondering in this way in his heart.

"Since it can enhance cultivation, let's simply refine it with the Devouring Sword Spirit." Lin Bai's eyes flashed as he unreservedly activated the Devouring Sword Spirit, gradually refining the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring in the green gourd.

As the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring was refined, Lin Bai's cultivation began to rise.

Peak of the Fifth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!

Sixth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!

Peak of the Sixth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!

Seven days later, Lin Bai's cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Sixth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Feeling a bit anxious, Lin Bai looked at the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring that was almost depleted in the green gourd and, gritting his teeth, said: "Break for me!"

"Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

Simultaneously, Lin Bai retrieved the Spirit Immortal Root from his storage bag and devoured its spiritual power with the Devouring Sword Spirit.

Crack crack—

Not long after, a series of sounds echoed from within Lin Bai's body, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!

"Huff huff!" Lin Bai exhaled a long breath, looked at the now empty green gourd and the Spirit Immortal Root that had crumbled into sand, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I've exhausted all of the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring and also refined the Spirit Immortal Root, originally meant for cultivating the Red Moon Nine Tribulations Body, only to break through to the Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

Lin Bai was somewhat dissatisfied with this breakthrough.

"So much Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring, if sold, would be worth at least tens of millions of spirit liquid, even up to a hundred million, yet it only let me break through two stages..." Lin Bai squinted his eyes, his expression somewhat bitter as he spoke.

"The further I progress in my cultivation the more spirit liquid and Demon Blood I need!"

Lin Bai felt a bit annoyed. If it weren't for finding the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring in the Divine Demon Secret Realm and relying on its strength to break through to the Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, Lin Bai wouldn't know how much more effort it would take while in Dongzhou Academy to reach the next level!

"But it's all good. Now that I've broken through to the Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, my strength has increased accordingly. In the Divine Demon Secret Realm, I now at least have the power to protect myself, unlike before when I was so pitiful."

Lin Bai suddenly stood up, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"With the Seventh Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, if I perform the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, my strength will be comparable to the Eighth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

"With the Five Elements Divine Pill and my sword skills, defeating a Ninth Level Life-and-Death Realm entity shouldn't be too big of an issue!"

"Even facing a Great Perfection Life-and-Death Realm warrior, I could still contend with them!"

"But... only against the Quasi Holy Son level warriors, will I need to reach at least the Ninth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm to face them!"

Lin Bai now had a new evaluation of his own strength.

"Then, let's go find some spiritual objects to elevate my cultivation to around the Ninth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Then, I can look for other spiritual objects to cultivate the third layer of the Red Moon Nine Tribulations Body!"

"Anyway, time is still early. The Divine Demon Secret Realm will be open for three months, and only ten days have passed so far!"

After resting for half a day, Lin Bai left the cave mansion once more, without hesitation, continuing on his treasure-hunting journey.

The Divine Demon Secret Realm was a treasure site. Lin Bai, having been here for only ten days, had already gained so much fortune; naturally, he didn't want to waste time and continued treasure hunting.

Not only Lin Bai, but all the warriors currently in the Divine Demon Secret Realm were like this, not wasting a single moment, fully committed to treasure hunting, even Situ Yuntian among them!

Situ Yuntian, in that mountain range, had his Ruyi ring snatched by Lin Bai. However, when he arrived at the City of the Living Dead, he didn't go mad searching for Lin Bai but instead searched for other treasures, ultimately finding the Heavenly Heart Spirit Spring, only to have Lin Bai snatch it from under his nose even then.

...

Two days after Lin Bai left the cave mansion, somewhere within the Divine Demon Secret Realm, a group of warriors were chasing three men and one woman.

These three men and one woman were none other than Meng Li, Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, and Shu Xiang.

"Zhu Jingyi, don't go too far!" Wu Ming roared angrily through gritted teeth.

The warriors chasing Wu Ming and the others were none other than Zhu Jingyi, who had over ten warriors at the Seventh and Eighth Levels of the Life-and-Death Realm beside him, making Wu Ming and the others naturally not their match.

Zhu Jingyi sneered and said: "Since I can't find Lin Bai but found you guys, I'll take it out on you first!"

"Kill them for me!"

"Leave the woman!"

Zhu Jingyi said with a cold smile.

Immediately, over a dozen warriors beside Zhu Jingyi flew out fiercely, attacking Wu Ming and the others.

The faces of Wu Ming and the others turned pale...
