Huaxia, Kunlun Mountain.
Outside Hell's Gate, a twisted rotating light screen suspended in the void trembled slightly, and Mu Jinyu and the others emerged from it.
"Finally out."
Jian Ruyan, who had been somewhat anxious from waiting for them to come out, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Mu Jinyu bringing Wen Rou and the others out.
"Tap!"
Putting down Nai Mucha, Mu Jinyu looked up at the azure sky, with a hint of wonder in his expression, and said, "In just a year, Earth's spiritual energy has become this dense? It's almost comparable to the wilderness of the Kunlun Ruins."
Mu Jinyu could clearly feel it at this moment.
A year ago, when they left Huaxia and entered the Kunlun Ruins, Earth's spiritual energy was in a revival state, increasing daily, but the concentration was still far inferior to the Kunlun Ruins.
Now, a year later, he returned from the Kunlun Ruins, and the concentration of spiritual energy on Kunlun Mountain was almost equivalent to the wilderness in Kunlun Ruins.
Of course, compared to places like the Heavenly Sword Faction, one of the Four Great Sects in the Yan Kingdom, and even more so the Chen Family's Heaven Cave Blessed land, it was still far behind, but the degree of change was truly astonishing.
"It's true, in just one year, the spiritual energy revival in Huaxia has made Kunlun Mountain's spiritual energy as dense as Kunlun Ruins' wilderness. Yinlong Mountain's spiritual energy concentration might even surpass the Heavenly Sword Faction," Jian Ruyan agreed with a nod.
She had come out two hours earlier than Mu Jinyu and the others, and naturally felt the changes on Kunlun Mountain more deeply.
After sighing, Jian Ruyan continued, "However, Kunlun Mountain being one of the notable Spirit Mountains in Huaxia, coupled with its proximity to the Kunlun Ruins, doesn't mean outside is the same. We should go out and see."
The Holy Land of Spirit Mountain is far from major cities, without environmental pollution. Before the spiritual energy revival, the concentration on places like Kunlun Mountain and Yinlong Mountain was already much higher than cities like River City and the Capital City.
Now, the spiritual energy on Kunlun Mountain is almost equivalent to the wilderness in Kunlun Ruins, but that doesn't mean modern cities are catching up.
Yin Li peeked out her little head from Mu Jinyu's embrace, glanced at the surroundings, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes before she retreated again.
The Little Phoenix was the same; while Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan marveled at Kunlun Mountain's spiritual energy changes, it couldn't understand why they had to come out of Kunlun Ruins to such barren spiritual energy?
But not being able to defeat Mu Jinyu, it kept silent.
Nai Mucha thought the same; having followed Mu Jinyu, he hoped to advance rapidly, and within a few years reach the peak Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, consume the Hedao Fruit, and officially step into the Unity Realm Stage, then return to the Northern Plains to help their people.
But now witnessing the painstaking place Mu Jinyu returned to, it seemed poorer in spiritual energy than their Northern Plains, leaving him in despair.
Noticing the strange expressions of Little Phoenix and Nai Mucha, Mu Jinyu reassured them, "Don't worry, the cultivation resources I've brought out are adequate, no worse than those in Kunlun Ruins."
He had slain over twenty Supreme Sect Leaders in Kunlun Ruins and took their storage bags, then looted Treasure Pavilions of top-grade forces, now truly wealthy.
In Kunlun Ruins, aside from the Heavenly Palace having more cultivation resources, no other force would dare claim they had more than he.
Therefore, even returning to the relatively sparse spiritual energy in Huaxia, Mu Jinyu was confident their cultivation wouldn't lag behind Kunlun Ruins.
"Of course, if you truly don't wish to stay here and want to return to the Kunlun Ruins, I can also send you back," Mu Jinyu said thoughtfully.
Little Phoenix shook its head; although it had complaints, it truly didn't want to return to Kunlun Ruins.
After some hesitation, Nai Mucha ultimately decided to stay by Mu Jinyu's side.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu smiled, then turned around to begin concealing the passage to the Kunlun Ruins using the array patterns of the Divine Formation Disc, making entry and exit difficult.
Although Mu Jinyu had been cautious in Kunlun Ruins, rarely revealing he had come from Huaxia, there was still Zhuo Yue, the former Divine Rankings elder on the other side. Who knows how many of the older Divine Rankings powerhouses are still alive in Kunlun Ruins?
If one day they bring people from Kunlun Ruins into Huaxia, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Of course, he wouldn't seal the path completely, leaving a hint of possibility.
However, when someone attempts to enter Huaxia Kunlun Mountain, he will sense who it is, how many there are...
This way he can prepare in advance.
After doing all this, Mu Jinyu clapped his hands, looked at the slowly disappearing light screen passage, and told Wen Rou and the others, "Alright, we can go home."
As he spoke, distinct faces of his beloved ones flashed before his eyes.
More than a year had passed; he wondered how Gu Xiyan, Mei Yinxue, and the others were, and what the situation was like at Dragon King Hall?
At this moment, although Mu Jinyu wasn't anxiously eager to fly back to Yinlong Mountain, he felt more excited and missed his beloved ones even more fiercely.
"Shoo!!"
After storing the Divine Formation Disc, feeling their flight speed too slow, Mu Jinyu directly wrapped them in True Yuan and soared into the sky, heading from Kunlun Mountain back to Yinlong Mountain.
"Boom!!"
Just then!
An unexpected bolt of lightning cut through the clear sky, striking straight towards Mu Jinyu.
"Hmm?"
Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed, questioning why a lightning bolt suddenly appeared in broad daylight, particularly targeting him?
"Boom!"
Not moving to counter, the lightning bolt was dispelled by the Heaven and Earth Laws controlled by Mu Jinyu.
Instead of focusing on the lightning, he had already released his Divine Sense, instantly enveloping Kunlun Mountain, searching for the source of the attack.
"Found you!"
Soon, Mu Jinyu narrowed his eyes, reaching out to grab.
"Ah!"
On a high mountain near the Valley of Death, a ten-meter-large eagle watched in horror as a giant palm suddenly appeared in front of it, letting out a piercing cry, struggling desperately not to fall under the palm's control.
Despite its struggles, it could not escape capture, directly seized by the giant hand.
"Scree!"
Before being caught, the giant eagle emitted a sorrowful scream that pierced the clouds, then was pulled over by Mu Jinyu.
"A ferocious beast of the Seventh Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, speak, why attack me!"
Mu Jinyu restrained the giant eagle in the void, his hands behind his back, with indifferent eyes fixed on the eagle, speaking softly.
"Humph, human cultivator, you disregard the peace treaty, recklessly invading our Ten Thousand Gods Mountain Range, what more is there to say!"
Though the giant eagle was captured by Mu Jinyu, with its life no longer its own, it remained fierce, and hearing Mu Jinyu's words, it transmitted spiritual thoughts filled with killing intent.
