"So, it's a Nine Nether Bird that failed to evolve."
Mu Feng couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
If it had evolved successfully, the Nine Nether Bird would have been qualified to challenge the Myriad Beasts Record Heavenly Ranking.
"Domain Lord, we can't let Liu Domain get the Nine Nether Bird."
Zhou Ye's expression was grave, but then he frowned. "But that Black冥 Abyss isn't easy to enter."
"Black Abyss?"
Mu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard the name.
"No wonder that place looked familiar; it's actually the Black冥 Abyss!"
The Black冥 Abyss was even more dangerous than the Northern Spirit Plains. Over the years, almost no adventure team that entered it had managed to escape. It was practically a forbidden zone within the Northern Spirit Realm.
"If it's for the Nine Nether Bird, the Black冥 Abyss is still worth a try," Mu Feng pondered.
The Nine Nether Bird was too powerful. If it were at its peak, naturally no one would dare to covet it. However, it was now at its weakest, having failed in its evolution. The Liu Domain wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
And if the Liu Domain obtained the Nine Nether Bird, it would be a huge problem.
"Should I go to the Black冥 Abyss or not?"
Mu Yuan, who was standing to the side, was a little conflicted.
That Nine Nether Bird was originally Mu Chen's opportunity.
To be honest, as his older brother, he felt a bit embarrassed to snatch his opportunity.
After all, the Nine Nether Bird eventually evolved into a Nine Nether Dark Bird, which was a true Divine Beast.
Between a spirit beast and a Divine Beast, that simple word represented a gap that couldn't be crossed even after ten thousand years of cultivation.
Just as he was thinking this, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Mu Yuan's mind:
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the Check-in System, now issuing a check-in task!"
"Check-in location: Black冥 Abyss, the Nine Nether Bird's evolution site!"
"Check-in duration: five minutes. Completing the check-in task will grant a reward; exiting midway will be considered a failure!"
This new check-in task was actually to stay in the Nine Nether Bird's evolution grounds for five minutes.
If he remembered correctly, the spirit beasts in the Black冥 Abyss were actually raised by the Nine Nether Birds. Once they were fattened up, the birds would slaughter them and extract their spiritual power.
It seemed a bit dangerous.
However, weren't opportunities always accompanied by danger?
"Dad, where are you going? To the Black冥 Abyss? Take me with you."
Mu Yuan said with a smile.
"That place is too dangerous; it's not suitable for you."
Mu Feng frowned.
"Dad, I'm at least as strong as a late-stage Spiritual Wheel Stage cultivator now. I'm considered a strong individual in the Northern Spirit Realm."
Mu Yuan smiled slightly.
Mu Feng was slightly stunned, and then he carefully looked at the young man in front of him.
He realized that he had unknowingly grown to this extent.
"Brother, you can rest assured!"
"Also, take Xiao Mu with you. He also came out of the Spiritual Road. The situation there isn't any better than the Black冥 Abyss. He's capable of handling it."
Mu Yuan glanced at Mu Chen and said again.
This time, he might not necessarily obtain the Nine Nether Bird. To be on the safe side, he should still bring Mu Chen along.
After a moment of silence, Mu Feng smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"Alright, but you two must not cause any trouble."
These two outstanding sons would surpass him, their old man, sooner or later.
In the following days, Mu Feng began recruiting people in the Mu Domain and secretly dispatched people to keep an eye on the movements of the Liu Domain.
After Mu Chen displayed his talent as a Spirit Array Master, Mu Feng found a Spirit Array teacher for him, Wen Ling.
Following Wen Ling and studying Spirit Array knowledge for a period of time, Mu Chen finally achieved a small degree of mastery and set up his first Small Spirit Array, the Spirit Binding Array.
Wen Ling was very pleased with Mu Chen's progress and told Mu Chen to study other Small Spirit Arrays as much as possible in the future, to lay a solid foundation for his future, and to condense fifteen Spirit Seals as soon as possible to set up a First-Grade Spirit Array.
Mu Yuan wasn't idle either, throwing himself completely into his cultivation.
The spiritual power in his sixth Void Cavity had reached nine-tenths, nearing saturation.
His Sword Drawing Technique had also entered the ultimate level, allowing him to draw his sword two hundred times in a single breath.
Only when the day arrived for their journey to the Black冥 Abyss did Mu Yuan end his cultivation, preparing himself.
The Black冥 Abyss was located in the southern part of the Northern Spirit Plains, a rather remote area within the Northern Spirit Plains. Because it was so dangerous, it seemed deserted, extremely lacking in any sign of life.
There was some distance between the Mu Domain and the Black冥 Abyss, so when Mu Feng and the others arrived at the Black冥 Abyss, it was three days later.
From a distance, it was a primeval forest that was a dark, somber color.
Above the forest, a gray Death Miasma permeated the air. This Death Miasma possessed a potent poison, and even those who were Spiritual Wheel Stage experts wouldn't dare to let it enter their bodies easily.
"The people from the Liu Domain will enter from the western passage, so we might encounter them soon. But the Black冥 Abyss is the most dangerous, so everyone, be careful,"
Mu Feng said in a low voice, gazing at the Black冥 Abyss.
He then took out the Antidote Pills and distributed them. While they couldn't completely neutralize potent poisons, they offered some resistance to the Death Miasma.
Once everyone was ready, Mu Feng waved his hand, and he led nearly a hundred people to quietly slip into the Black冥 Abyss, which was filled with Death Miasma.
Previously, Zhou Ye had learned that the Liu Domain placed great importance on this operation. Not only would Liu Qingtian personally participate, but Liu Zong and Liu Ming would also be present.
Liu Qingtian and Liu Zong from the Liu Domain were both Spirit Soul Stage experts, and Liu Ming was also on the verge of advancing. Such a lineup was incredibly formidable.
Therefore, Mu Feng had brought in the three city lords from the Mu Domain: Duan Wei, Tie Lang, and Chen Xiong, leaving the other two city lords to guard the Mu Domain.
Ah!
A short while after the group ventured into the Black冥 Abyss, a shrill scream echoed from the ranks.
It turned out that a ferocious, jet-black giant serpent had suddenly emerged, instantly swallowing two of the Mu Domain experts who hadn't reacted in time.
"Black Snake!"
Everyone gazed at the terrifying black serpent, letting out gasps of surprise. This was a mid-grade spirit beast, its strength comparable to the Spiritual Wheel Stage's mid-phase. They hadn't expected to encounter such a powerful spirit beast so soon after entering the Black冥 Abyss.
The Black冥 Serpent flicked its crimson tongue, and after succeeding, it attacked again with lightning speed.
This time, the target of the attack was Mu Yuan.
"Young Master, be careful."
Drops of black saliva dripped from its blood-red mouth, corroding all the dead leaves on the ground. It was clear that the serpent possessed a potent venom.
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
"Steel Severing!"
There wasn't a hint of tension in his calm demeanor as the black-sheathed longsword was drawn from its scabbard, revealing a flash of cold light.
The Black冥 Serpent let out a mournful cry, collapsing to the ground as its body was bisected.
A mid-level spirit beast, comparable to the Spiritual Wheel Stage's mid-phase, was actually cleaved in two by Mu Yuan with a single sword strike.
Almost everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, followed by a chorus of exclamations:
"Young Master, truly amazing!"
"The Young Master is so strong at such a young age; he'll be unstoppable in the future!"
"What a blessing for our Mu Domain!"
The cheers of the crowd caused a small commotion within the ranks.
Everyone looked at the young man with the longsword hanging from his waist, their eyes filled with awe.
