Chapter 485: Return to the Misty Ghost Forest!

"Anyone else want to die?"

The despicable donkey hovered arrogantly in mid-air with demonic clouds billowing beneath him as he exuded an aura of supreme dominance.

It had godlike skill and could kill with a wave of its hooves!

Everyone was terrified. The power the despicable donkey displayed far surpassed the Spiritual Element Realm, as even ordinary experts of the Spiritual Sea Realm couldn't match its terrifying strength!

The despicable donkey's might was beyond their imagination.

This seemingly ordinary black donkey was definitely no ordinary donkey!

The Spiritual Element Realm experts displayed their best escape methods, using all kinds of void talismans and breaking teleportation scrolls...

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One figure after another disappeared from the scene. They were scared!

To the despicable donkey, killing them was as easy as playing a game.

They were here to seize the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit and gain a longer life. Knowing they would surely die, they weren't foolish enough to stay. Even Liu Chengjun and Hua Caiyi were no exception; they ran faster than anyone else.

"Running away already? How boring!"

The despicable donkey sneered disdainfully at the so-called human experts and looked down on them.

It didn't consider that as a demon king, or strictly speaking, a half-step demon emperor, bullying a bunch of Spiritual Element Realm "kids," would be considered cowardly!

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, unfurled his wings of true qi, and flew up to the despicable donkey before extending his hand. "Give me the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit."

"Fine, fine!" The despicable donkey looked at the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit, which hadn't even warmed up in his possession and even drooled a bitt, but still handed it over to Ling Feng.

Although shameless, he did keep his word.

"Thanks!" Ling Feng carefully put away the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit. This wasn't the place to refine such a heavenly treasure.

"

Hmph!

" The despicable donkey looked heartbroken as it watched Ling Feng put away the fruit. It felt as if it had been castrated.

"Alright, alright. You'll get your share of benefits later." Ling Feng rolled his eyes and then took out the teleportation token to the Misty Ghost Forest from his storage ring.

The time he spent in the Sea-Blue Abyss could be compensated for with this teleportation token.

"

Hmm?

" The despicable donkey saw the token in Ling Feng's hand, his eyes twitching. "Kid, you're not thinking of going back to the Misty Ghost Forest, are you? No way, I won't go back to that dreadful place!"

"

Oh?

I thought you'd miss your former master!" Ling Feng smiled faintly.

"

Bah!

This divine beast misses that old geezer?" The despicable donkey turned to leave, shouting, "No way in hell am I going back there."

"It's not like you'll be locked up for another thousand years!" Ling Feng touched his nose while raising an eyebrow. "Are you scared?"

"Scared?" The despicable donkey's mane stood up. "You must be joking! This divine beast, scared?

Hmph,

let's go. This divine beast wants to see if that old ghost is dead!"

Ling Feng secretly laughed. The despicable donkey's weakness was too obvious. All it took was a simple provocation, and it took the bait.

"

Hehe.

"

With a slight smile, Ling Feng activated the teleportation array within the token as taught by the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation.

The next moment, a dim light emerged from the token, and a crack appeared in the void, revealing a deep and long passage inside.

...

The darkness lasted for about half an hour. Then, suddenly, a bright light appeared, and Ling Feng and the despicable donkey were thrown out of the passage.

The next moment, they found themselves back in the core of the spirit ore vein beneath the Misty Ghost Forest, standing on a teleportation array about three chi[1] high.

"Despicable donkey, wait here for a moment, or you can go back to your bamboo house. You should be more familiar with this place than I am," Ling Feng said, turning to look at the despicable donkey. "Of course, you can also come with me to meet Senior Tianbai Emperor."

"This divine beast won't go!" The despicable donkey's eyes gleamed as he looked around the spirit ore vein and drooled. Last time, he had left in a hurry and only dug up a few pieces. This time, he was determined to dig to his heart's content.

Seeing the despicable donkey's eyes glowing green with greed, Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. "You can dig the elemental stones from the ore vein, but don't overdo it. The key is to extract resources slowly to ensure sustainability and not harm the fundamental structure of the spirit ore vein."

While it might be acceptable to exhaust other spirit ore veins, the Misty Ghost Forest was one of his strongholds. If the despicable donkey emptied the spirit ore vein, it might damage the foundation of the array here, making it impossible to use the teleportation array conveniently in the future.

"Got it, got it. You're so young but you nag like an old man!" The despicable donkey flicked his tail. "Do you think this divine beast is as stupid as you?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and didn't bother responding. He skillfully navigated to the cave from before and walked to the end, stopping in front of the stone wall.

"Senior, I am here again. Please let me in!" Ling Feng called out loudly.

The next moment, the stone wall in front of him flashed with light, and an invisible force pulled Ling Feng's body inside.

It felt like he was being sucked into a vortex, and then he disappeared from the cave.

When Ling Feng regained his senses, he was back in the chamber where he had first implanted the Qi-Refining Primordial Lock.

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation stood there, hands behind his back, smiling as he looked Ling Feng up and down. "

Oh?

You've finally come back, young one!"

"Greetings, Senior!" Ling Feng bowed to the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation. Seeing this esteemed senior again filled him with indescribable awe.

Despite having met many powerful experts over the past six months, none could compare to the level of the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation, let alone the true Tianbai Emperor himself.

"Not bad, you've made quick progress in six months. Forty-seven meridian gates! Impressive!" Under the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation's scrutiny, Ling Feng couldn't hide any secrets.

"I've had some lucky breakthroughs," Ling Feng smiled slightly. "I've returned this time hoping that Senior would implant the second Qi-Refining Primordial Lock for me."

"Of course," the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation nodded. "You're about to break through to fifty meridian gates. Once you do, I can implant the third Primordial Lock as well. You can attempt your breakthrough here."

The Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation added, "It seems you have a Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit in your storage spirit ring. It should be sufficient for breaking through to fifty meridian gates."
