Wu Man murmured from the side: "Indeed, if they have no relationship...that would be disastrous. The three families in Jinxiu City are not without their foundations."

Sun Song said: "Luckily...we are not the ones who initiated this!"

However, Zhao Qing's eyes flickered with complex reflections. He didn't really care about these three families. Even with foundations, who would the Blood Demon Sect fear?

What he was worried about was his master!

Before coming here, his master had reminded him with an unprecedented seriousness.

If he really fails this time, what awaits him...might not be pleasant.

Thinking about this, Zhao Qing took a deep breath, now he could only put his hopes on Zhu Hong.

That old guy, with his merciless and ruthless methods, as long as this incident has the slightest connection with the three families, he will definitely be able to interrogate it!

However, this feeling of not being able to control the situation himself...is truly awful!

At that moment, some members of the three families, with horror written on their faces, fled from the palace complex towards them. Zhao Qing took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming coldly: "Stop all of them. We must find out who else besides their family members entered with them. Also, find out if any of the experts of the Primordial Infant level accompanied the three families this time!"

"Don't worry, Qing Ge." Sun Hai casually replied.

From Sun Hai's perspective, even if the mission fails, it's not a big deal. It was just a lack of good fortune, could they seriously punish Qing Ge for this?

Each of the five ancestors of the Blood Demon Sect has their own individual paradise. Therefore, Sun Hai and the others didn't know much about Zhao Qing's master, the founding ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect. Although they knew he was very powerful, temperamental, and ruthless, they never thought he would act against Zhao, his beloved disciple.

Even a tiger won't eat its cubs...

...…

In the human layer of the Spectral Realm, amidst a cluster of mountains, Chu Mo appeared dragging a rooster.

Whoosh!

Chu Mo and the rooster both let out a sigh of relief.

That terrifying presence and icy divine sense were enough to declare the enemy's strength.

"A Primordial Infant cultivator, didn't expect to meet one so soon." Chu Mo was a little frustrated. However, he knew that this was life, full of changes. Not everything could unfold as he imagined.

This intact relic attracting a Primordial Infant expert was not surprising at all.

The other party also seemed to comprehend that there were treasures in the lake. In such a short time, they rushed right over, their objective overtly clear.

Luckily, he could directly enter the Spectral Realm with his physical body, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable. Even though he had seen powers countless times stronger than a Primordial Infant cultivator, any Primordial Infant cultivator was enough to crush him effortlessly in his current state.

Even a Gold Core cultivator isn't someone he could contend with at the moment.

It seems, I must take advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage more seriously!

Chu Mo let out a sigh, murmuring to himself, "Or rather...shall I ascend in the Spectral Realm?"

"Master Chicken thinks this is a good idea," said the rooster, still a little terrified. "But you, boy, can even bring Master Chicken into the Spectral Realm with your physical body?"

The rooster knew a lot and quickly noticed something unusual, he looked at Chu Mo with surprise.

"Cut the chatter. This is for you." Chu Mo took the small yellow vial out of the Heavenly Bower Mirror and threw it to the rooster.

"What is it?" The yellow vial completely blocked all the aura. The rooster looked at Chu Mo with puzzlement.

"Something you've always wanted." Chu Mo said calmly. In fact, his heart was still in shock. He never imagined that he would find such treasures in the Spirit Realm.

The so-called True Phoenix Blood was not ordinary phoenix blood, but essence blood from a true phoenix!

The phoenix and the dragon were legendary creatures that rarely showed up before people. These mythical beasts were among the top existences in the world. At their level, they had transcended the normal level of life.

In the Heavenly Realm, people who had the blood of these creatures flowing in their veins were quite extraordinary; they were born with talents far surpassing those of others.

Therefore, treasures like the True Dragon Blood and True Phoenix Blood had been sought after by all creatures.

Nobody expected that there would be a drop of True Phoenix Blood in a place like the Spirit Realm. One could fairly say the rooster had stumbled upon something extraordinary.

The rooster, blinking in bewilderment at Chu Mo, was struggling to hide the excitement in his eyes. His voice was even trembling, "Kid...don't joke around. The things Master Chicken wants... I have very high standards!"

"True Phoenix Blood." Chu Mo grinned at the rooster.

Thump!

The rooster's legs gave out and he plonked down on the spot. He clutched the yellow vial tightly with his wingtips, and stared at Chu Mo in disbelief, "Really?"

"Really." Chu Mo looked at the rooster, "I looked at it with the Heavenly Bower Mirror."

"..." The rooster sat there in silence, not uttering a word.

Chu Mo looked at the rooster curiously. He mused, 'What's wrong with this rooster? This doesn't seem like his style.'

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" Suddenly, the rooster let out a chilling laugh from his throat. He fluttered his wings, perked up his neck, and crowed in triumph: "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

Roar!

A threatening roar echoed from afar, interrupting the rooster's triumphant crowing.

"Not good, get on quickly, we need to run!" The rooster immediately yelled.

Chu Mo hopped onto the rooster, and the rooster took off running like a bolt of lightning.

Not until a long while later...

The rooster gasped for breath, "Can't run anymore, boy, hurry up and get off, you're going to kill this old rooster!"

At that point, they had run more than thirty thousand miles in one breath.

Chu Mo got off the rooster with gritted teeth, "You need to lose weight."

"Nonsense. I'm all muscle!" The rooster grumbled, then cackled, "Ascend from being a chicken to a phoenix. Master Chicken finally sees this day!"

"Stop talking. How long will it take you to refine it?" Chu Mo glanced at the rooster.

The rooster thought for a moment, "At least a year."

"So...you're staying in the Spectral Realm?" Chu Mo looked at the rooster, worried.

The rooster shook his head, "No, there are too many powerful creatures in the Spectral Realm. If they sense it, we would be in trouble." The rooster then looked at Chu Mo, "You better take the Foundation Establishment here. Establishing your foundation in the Spectral Realm is better than being chased by creatures in the Spirit Realm, even if you stir up some trouble."

"Seems like I have no other choice," Chu Mo nodded. The Spirit Realm was indeed scarier than he imagined. If any phenomenon of Heaven and Earth occurred during the Foundation Establishment, and other powerful beings noticed, he would definitely be hunted down.

Establishing his foundation in the Spectral Realm could also attract other powerful beings, but he could return to the Spirit Realm at any time.
