Happily fiddling with these two pieces of new equipment, Gu Mo turned and left the charred and collapsed ruins, moving toward the next room, leaving only the corpse of the Peach Fruit Man with eyes wide open in death.

...

Not long after, Gu Mo found the location of the study.

The room was also close to the surface of the mountain, with a pine tree beyond the railing, offering a view of the sea of clouds and sky outside, allowing sunlight to pour in. Inside were countless scrolls and manuscripts filled with the Elder Immortal's precious knowledge. Some parts were clearly searched many times, showing slight disarray.

But overall, the situation was relatively good.

Although the Peach Fruit Man was a brutal Cannibal Demon, he was once human before becoming a demon and had practiced here for many years.

At least unlike those ignorant Evil Demons who knew nothing of this place's value and destroyed it completely… Maybe he still thought of refining the Elixir of Immortality, pondering daily to uncover the ultimate secret from the sect's Secret Manual, so naturally, he wouldn't have wanted to destroy it.

But now, all of this naturally belonged to Gu Mo.

There were too many scrolls, innumerable, and for the moment, he couldn't start anywhere. However, the traces left by the Peach Fruit Man highlighted the key areas—regardless of his abilities, the latter had spent several years here and longed for Immortal Ascension and immortality.

So, with the scrolls that the Peach Fruit Man had focused on, Gu Mo placed his attention on them first.

Picking up a scroll spread open on the ground, he glanced at it. Thanks to the dog system's real-time translation mechanism, he could easily read the words and grasp their meaning. This seemed to explain the fundamental Magic Technique to become an Immortal, providing methods for practice, requiring diligent workout, honing body and mind, and refining the Soul to the utmost.

Could it be that the path to becoming an Immortal in this world is about seeking transcendence in the Spiritual Realm?

It seems so indeed. The Elder Immortal's mana was mighty, but it should be powerful due to mana and the Spiritual Realm... Is it because the Peach Blossom Immortal was originally human, making the flesh still relatively fragile?

Gu Mo pondered, remembering that Peach Blossom Immortal was not the only example as other Immortals would appear later, like the Demon Spirit Great Saint, who seemed defenseless, didn't retaliate when scolded, and appeared weak when bullied by Inuyasha.

In reality, blowing a single breath could completely seal the Iron Shattering Fang, and even being struck in the demon's weak point by the Dragon Scale Iron Shattering Fang seemed unfazed, not feeling any pain.

This is a clear example; these Demon Immortals, even if not accounting for the realms reached by spiritual practices, are still immensely powerful Great Demons, with the combination reaching terrifying heights.

His thoughts turning over, Gu Mo shook his head, continuing to slowly study the knowledge recorded on the scroll while also thoughtfully deliberating.

In the unseen class selection page, new pages were appearing following the previous class.

The graphics and text were extremely blurry, but as Gu Mo's study progressed, these contents were gradually becoming clearer.

...

As time went by, the setting sun began to cast its glow down west.

Simultaneously, several white Death Soul Worms descended from the sky, landing in the deep valley below the mountain.

Standing before the Human-faced Fruit Tree growing by the riverbank, the Witch glanced at the fruits growing on the tree, softly saying, "It's not an Immortal living here but a Cannibal Demon. However, now that he's been executed, you can rest in peace…"

The fruits on the tree opened their eyes, showing expressions of relief and release, and started expressing gratitude.

The Witch patiently waited for them to finish, then gently stretched out her hand, with slender fingertips glinting with the clear brilliance of spiritual power. The aura of exorcism's Spiritual Qi spread out.

The entire Human-faced Fruit Tree immediately shivered violently, the leaves rustling, and the faces on the tree showed painful expressions. However, in the next moment, the Witch's delicate jade hand lightly reached out, her fingertips touching the rough bark, releasing a burst of shining spiritual power.

In the flash, the entire Demon Tree silently turned to dust. Just then, a wind blew through the deep valley, and the powder scattered, disappearing without a trace.

Having completed the purification, the Witch sighed. The Elder Immortal had already passed on, originally surviving with difficulty, and upon hearing the news of Peach Fruit Man's defeat, he had no more regrets, thanked her repeatedly, and vanished, leaving nothing behind.

Now, along with the demons it devoured, the Demon Tree had also been purified by her spiritual power, bringing a closure to the matters at hand…

"Hmm?"

Suddenly arching her eyebrows with some surprise, Kikyo turned back toward the rushing river, seemingly seeing through the thick mist in the valley to the horizon beyond.

"What is this…"

She obviously couldn't see anything, but her keen sense of the Four Souls Jade allowed her to detect that other fragments were rapidly approaching here… No, it's not right to call them fragments, it's more like shards, almost reaching a third of a complete Four Souls Jade!

The shard of this Jade was purposefully nearing her position within her unique perception.

...

"Inuyasha, shall we take a break? We've been pursuing all day…"

Riding a ladies' bicycle, Himura Kagome glanced at Master Maitreya beside her, running out of breath, then at Inuyasha, who was dashing ahead without looking back, she couldn't help but call out.

"Actually, I've said you can stay behind; I can go myself…" Inuyasha kept his eyes fixed ahead, still sprinting without pause. They were very close; he had been tracking the scent all day and should be almost there.

Letting you go yourself… How could we possibly let you go alone?

Himura Kagome bit her lower lip and suddenly raised her eyebrows, seeming to feel something, looking up ahead—

"Up ahead, there are fragments of the Four Souls Jade? Two pieces! I can feel them!"
