On the fourth morning, Xia Feng was ready to set off to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.
The ten women were also mostly prepared, but when Xia Feng knocked on Sun Yazhu's boudoir door, a dull voice from inside responded.
"Husband, I still need some time to refine the Purple Gold Cauldron. It has resistance when used in alchemy, and none of the elixirs I've tried have been able to maintain stability."
"Why don't you go with the other nine sisters first? Once I've completely eliminated the resistance of the Purple Gold Cauldron, I'll come to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range to find you."
Hearing this, Xia Feng showed an expression of surprise. After some thought, he shook his head and said, "No."
To be honest, he didn't expect this Divine Artifact to be so troublesome; even after recognizing its master with blood, it still refused to let Sun Yazhu perform alchemy obediently.
Is this the stubborn nature of a Divine Artifact?
Such obstinacy—if Xia Feng hadn't taken it out, who knows how many more years it would have gathered dust before seeing daylight again.
"You're staying alone in Spirit City and in seclusion to boot. What if a Martial Sovereign from the Rizhao Empire attacks? What then?"
"In the city, only Gu Sha and the other are Martial Sovereigns at the Yellow Tier Middle Realm. I'm worried about you."
Xia Feng thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll take Xuezhi, Lingxuan, Wanqing, Yuwei, and Qingxue with me to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range. The others will stay to protect you."
"Ah? But the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python is equivalent to an Earth Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign. Husband, it will be dangerous for you six to go!"
Sun Yazhu was somewhat reluctant to become a burden to Xia Feng because of her own situation.
"It's not a big problem. Although the Great Wilderness Mountain Range is dangerous, it's far better than God Burial Valley." Xia Feng shook his head. "In God Burial Valley, I managed to retrieve the Supreme Technique, so getting the main materials from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range shouldn't be an issue."
"Besides, they're now all at the Profound Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign level, and combined with the Emperor Level Military Array, I can still have a go against an Earth Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign."
Seeing Xia Feng put it this way, Sun Yazhu could only agree.
Just as Xia Feng was about to turn and leave, Sun Yazhu produced a spirit bag half as tall as a person.
She opened the door and jogged over to Xia Feng, handing it to him.
"Husband, everything has its spirit, and Spirit Fruits are no exception."
"Once you've obtained the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, be sure to seal it in this spirit bag immediately. Otherwise, the spiritual qi inside will dissipate, and the effect will deteriorate!"
Receiving the bag, Xia Feng nodded.
He said no more and soared into the sky.
Soon, six figures shot up from Spirit City, speeding towards the northeast direction of the Great Xia Empire.
The Great Wilderness Mountain Range is situated in the northeast of the Great Xia Empire and, like God Burial Valley, is a desolate wasteland.
Here lie countless exotic beasts, some forming tribes, guarding territories and forming a standoff with the Human Race.
The Great Xia Empire's upper echelon is indifferent to this. High-level exotic beasts are rare, and since they can form such a natural ecological circle, they let them be.
After all, the greatest military power rests with the Imperial Family. Although the Great Wilderness Mountain Range is outwardly called a place of great danger, it's simply that the Imperial Family does not wish to clear it out.
After all, every part of these exotic beasts is a treasure, especially those of high-level ones.
But over the years, the Great Wilderness Mountain Range has also nurtured some troublesome Emperor Beasts, with the strongest comparable to a Human Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign.
And this time, Xia Feng's target is one of the leaders among these exotic beasts, the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, whose cultivation is comparable to an Earth Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign.
The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's habitat has a spirit tree, which bears a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill once every ten thousand years.
The Celestial Pill Sacred Land recorded this information long ago, but being weak in strength, they dared not covet the treasure despite knowing where it was.
According to their calculations, the spirit tree in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range should be close to producing a pill.
The six sped towards the Great Wilderness Mountain Range as quickly as they could.
What Xia Feng didn't know was that three of the Nine Emperors from the Teng Jiu Building in the Rizhao Empire were already leading troops to the border of the East Province...
The Great Wilderness Mountain Range.
Unlike God Burial Valley, there is no eerie resentment here.
Yet, as a cradle for the Great Xia Empire's powerful exotic beasts, this place is utterly devoid of human presence.
When the six streams of light descended from the sky, the mighty exotic beasts shuddered and immediately returned to their nests, trembling in fright.
Martial Sovereign level humans are insurmountable mountains to them.
If their inner core or essence blood is coveted by the Human Race, their death would be quite miserable indeed.
After all, this is just the outer layer of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, where the strongest exotic beast is only equivalent to a Human Celestial Tier Martial Saint.
Watching the exotic beasts flee in fright, Xia Feng gazed at them indifferently, then paid them no further heed.
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If it were only Earth Tier or Celestial Tier Martial Saints coming, these exotic beasts would have already banded together to fight back.
Human spiritual power is also a great tonic for them.
Before long, the six reached the core area of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.
Here, even Xia Feng, with his exceptional strength, concealed his aura to the fullest extent.
First, he didn't wish to disturb the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python, and second, he wanted to avoid attracting the attention of those Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign level exotic beasts.
Despite having traveled far into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, they still hadn't found the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python.
While the Great Wilderness Mountain Range isn't as eerie as God Burial Valley, its vastness far surpasses it.
By day, the six continued their search, and by night, Xia Feng immediately isolated space, camping in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.
Camping is a misnomer; they actually used the Dream Realm Pearl to cultivate.
Xia Feng didn't waste a single opportunity to enhance his power.
Though they didn't find the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python in three days, Xia Feng, relying on the complete Supreme Technique, broke through to become a Profound Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign.
The other five women broke through to the Profound Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign.
Though they didn't find the Two-headed Heaven-Swallowing Python in three days, everyone's strength saw significant improvement, greatly increasing their chances of obtaining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Along cliffs and by streams, Xia Feng led the five women across more than a dozen mountains. It wasn't until the afternoon of the fourth day that they finally spotted their target.
The Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python was asleep in its lair, with no other exotic beasts daring to disturb it, exemplifying its dominance.
This is an attribute of powerful exotic beasts, and Xia Feng certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity.
As he approached the cave entrance, he heard the sound of the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python's scales sliding across the rock wall and couldn't help but smile.
"This is it."
Through the entrance, Xia Feng clearly saw a dark cave with a lush, green spirit tree.
This spirit tree was several meters wide, its dense leaves encircle a single silver fruit.
The spiritual qi emitted by this spirit tree was exceptionally thick, and since it bore only one fruit, it was obviously the destination of Xia Feng and his party: the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit.
"Husband, what should we do? Can we just take it?"
Wang Yuwei's eyes gleamed with thought as she turned to ask Xia Feng.
