Chapter 251: The Wanfa Spirit Fruit

Chen Mo stepped out of the Gui Xu Gate; before his eyes lay an endless stretch of yellow earth.

Bai Yuxia and the others followed behind him, the four of them in tacit agreement, heading toward Wanren City with a unified goal.

Wanren City soon came into view, and in other directions, a few figures could gradually be seen; these people were also wearing the Absolute Law Treasure Garment and were likewise members of the Huantian Alliance.

Chen Mo did not recognize these people, so he did not say much, merely nodding in acknowledgement.

The group walked into the city together, heading straight for the alliance's station.

Chen Mo had never seen the Huantian Alliance so bustling; they had arrived early, and there were already over two hundred Martial Artists scattered throughout the alliance.

Furthermore, outside the city, figures were continuously gathering toward this location.

One must know that this station usually only housed sixty or seventy people, yet now, over two hundred had arrived all at once.

This indicated that not only were the personnel originally scheduled for rotation all entering the Return Ruins at the same time, but other Huantian Alliance stations had likely dispatched personnel to provide support as well.

This was normal; the Wanfa Spirit Fruit was rare, and the Huantian Alliance had over eight hundred members; as long as this news spread, many would inevitably be tempted.

A portion of these leaked Heavenly Law, if released, would be enough to alter the world to a certain extent.

"Everyone!"

This power of space would randomly teleport Martial Artists, and it was impossible to determine exactly where one would end up.

While it was possible that some could not make it due to the distance, or were unwilling to risk it, as long as a portion of them could come, the number would still be quite considerable.

In addition to this information, there was also an introduction to two relatively common types of giant beasts within the Wan Beast Valley.

Immediately following this, Chen Mo felt his Token receive a stream of information.

Because it was artificially divided, the hierarchy between these five layers of the Wan Beast Valley was also arranged from weak to strong.

The giant beasts appearing on the fifth layer were the strongest, and the level of danger naturally rose accordingly.

"Senior Chen." Xu Yingping caught sight of Chen Mo and took the initiative to walk over and greet him.

To hold this position, apart from strength and prestige, one also needed to have long-standing seniority within the alliance.

"In two more hours, everyone will set off together. The information on the Wan Beast Valley, including the exploration maps, will be distributed to you shortly," Ma Bufan said in a loud, clear voice.

The more vigorous the power of the Heavenly Law, the less the location was affected by the Return Ruins.

Although he had stayed in this Huantian Alliance for a long time and was quite familiar with this station.

Chen Mo responded with a smile, then exchanged a few more pleasantries with him.

Therefore, even though Xu Yingping had stayed here for a long time, there were still too many people he did not recognize.

Besides this, the intelligence also contained a rough map of each layer of the Wan Beast Valley.

These regions were divided by mystical spatial methods and were interconnected with one another.

The entire Wan Beast Valley did not look like it had only one layer; rather, it consisted of five different regions.

The Huantian Alliance had two or three small outposts on each layer; by carrying the alliance Token, one could step into these outposts.

Martial Artists who did not enter the Return Ruins at the same time had no chance of meeting, so naturally, they would not know each other.

That place was equivalent to a small safe zone; if a Martial Artist was severely injured and could no longer fight the giant beasts, they could hide inside and wait for their time in the Return Ruins to run out, at which point they would be directly expelled.

The three of them were the elders of this Wanren City outpost, and they handled most matters within the city.

Only in this way could one serve as an elder at a station.

No matter who it was, as long as they stepped inside, they would encounter the spatial power within the valley.

As well as how to distinguish it, and which layer they were currently in.

A loud voice, like a Honglu Dazhong, rang out. Chen Mo turned his gaze to a raised platform set up to the side, where Ma Bufan stood alongside two elderly men.

Coupled with the fact that Martial Artists entering the Return Ruins were basically divided into many small groups, world by world.

It was mainly about the situation inside the Wan Beast Valley; although it was called a valley, its internal structure was very strange and peculiar.

The method to judge whether one was in the first layer or the fifth layer was to determine it by the Heavenly Law contained within the valley.

Therefore, the fifth layer of the valley not only had more vigorous Heavenly Law power, but the vegetation was also much more lush than in the first or second layers.

"Some of you have been to the Wan Beast Valley, and some have not.

The reason for this was that the time most Martial Artists entered the Return Ruins followed a pattern.

Yet among those present, he recognized at most sixty or seventy people, and only twenty or thirty could be considered familiar.

Also because it was home to many giant beasts, even if they were only giant beasts condensed from the Law.

One type resembled a rhinoceros, with a massive body, thick skin, and sharp horns on its head.

However, in order to maintain the same frequency as friends from the same world, they would also adjust their own time for entering the Return Ruins.

It was one of the most common giant beasts in the Wan Beast Valley; apart from its immense strength and thick skin, it had no other means.

In addition, the map also marked several important locations where Martial Artists could leave the Wan Beast Valley and choose to re-enter, thereby changing their current layer or leaving the Wan Beast Valley entirely.

The giant beasts that appeared on the first layer were the weakest, and exploring it was relatively safe.

He sank his mind into it to refine it; the information was not simple.

Even if someone missed their time to enter the Return Ruins due to secluded cultivation.

Even so, wanting to deal with them still gave most Martial Artists a headache.

If one did not have a weapon on hand, it was extremely difficult to defeat such giant beasts.

Even with a divine weapon, it still required some effort to completely slay them.

Besides this, there was another type of giant beast that resembled a green snake, mostly over three zhang long and as thick as an adult's arm.

This type of giant beast could blend completely into the surrounding environment, making it difficult for Martial Artists to notice.

When a Martial Artist entered its hunting range, it would strike suddenly to injure them.

Furthermore, it had a pair of venomous fangs; if a Martial Artist was accidentally bitten, no matter how strong their cultivation, they would be affected by the toxin to some degree.

Fortunately, for the Martial Artists capable of entering the Return Ruins, this type of toxin would not be fatal; it would only briefly affect them.

But the green snake itself was quite formidable; if a Martial Artist was accidentally poisoned while fighting it, in most cases, they could only find a way to escape.

Otherwise, once the poison takes effect, an ordinary Martial Artist might not be a match for this green snake.

Aside from these two more common giant beasts, the Huantian Alliance has general information.

As for the other giant beasts, most appear once and are slain, never to appear again.

Collecting information on them is entirely a futile effort.

After browsing through this information, Chen Mo once again cast his gaze toward the platform.

At this time, more Martial Artists were arriving one after another; they also received this information upon stepping into this place.

Originally, if a Martial Artist wanted to obtain this information, they would need to spend their own Contribution Points to purchase it.

And if their Token grade within the alliance was insufficient, they could not even buy such detailed information.

But now, without needing to pay any price, the alliance is distributing this information for free to all Martial Artists.

Of course, the Huantian Alliance itself is not without any gains; first and foremost is the most important point, which is to hold the Wan Beast Valley and not let the demon race of the Wanyao Alliance invade it.

As long as this can be achieved, the investment the Ten Thousand Beast Alliance is making now is truly a drop in the bucket.

Because this information was summarized by generations of Martial Artists within the alliance, distributing it now requires no cost.

Furthermore, there is another point: there are always some Wanfa Spirit Fruits obtained by Martial Artists that they cannot use themselves and cannot exchange with others.

These Wanfa Spirit Fruits can only be handed over to the Huantian Alliance for sale, and the alliance can additionally take a cut from this transaction.

Time passed minute by minute, until the number of Martial Artists gathered in the city reached over three hundred.

The old man beside Ma Bufan then said loudly, "Everyone, please!"

As the words fell, the three people on the platform headed toward the outside of the city together.

The remaining Martial Artists all followed, dividing into countless small groups of three, five, seven, or eight, heading straight for the Wan Beast Valley.

There is no need for them to be familiar with one another, nor is there any need for cooperation, because after entering the Wan Beast Valley, everyone will be scattered.

The Wan Beast Valley is very large; after entering it, they certainly have a chance of encountering each other.

As for whether to team up and travel together, that will depend on the situation at the time.

The Hundred Beasts Valley is only a hundred miles away from Wanren City, even though the strength of all Martial Artists within the Return Ruins is suppressed to the Tongmai Realm.

Yet in terms of technique and the exertion of power, they are still far stronger than true Tongmai Realm Martial Artists.

Coupled with the fact that the power within their bodies can be called inexhaustible, it only took a short moment.

Following behind the crowd, Chen Mo caught sight of a towering valley, three mountain peaks a thousand feet high.

The three mountain peaks lean against each other in a triangular shape, and within them lies the Wan Beast Valley.

Other places within the Return Ruins are all yellow earth, devoid of any vitality; even if there were plants, they had long since withered and died.

The interior of the Wan Beast Valley is completely different; even on these three mountain peaks, faint specks of green can be seen.

Although there are no tall trees within the Wan Beast Valley, there are countless weeds and shrubs.

And looking further inside, there is only a layer, a layer of mist.

The mist flows, and the figures of giant beasts can be vaguely seen.

This is the Hundred Beasts Valley; stepping into it, one can see countless giant beasts.

In front of this entrance, there is a temporary encampment, and within the encampment is an Array that firmly guards this entrance.

If this Array is not broken, then one can only climb over the mountains to enter.

"It seems the demon race has already entered in advance." Ma Sanwen reached out and pointed from afar; one could clearly see traces of vegetation on the mountain being trampled by living creatures.

"Everyone, do not delay the time; the beast tide in the valley could erupt at any moment, let us enter quickly."

A middle-aged Martial Artist suddenly walked out of the temporary camp and said loudly.

At this camp, there are also dozens of people temporarily stationed.

It is just that they have been waiting for a large group of people to arrive, so they could enter the valley together.

After all, if they were to risk entering, they would not only have to face giant beasts, but the bigger problem would be facing the demon race.

And entering with a large group, although everyone is scattered,

the possibility of encountering each other is greatly increased, which is certainly safer than risking an early entry.

"Good, then we shall not delay any longer." Ma Sanwen responded immediately.

The middle-aged Martial Artist had already let the encampment Array open, and the Huantian Alliance Martial Artists poured into the Wan Beast Valley like a stream of fish.

"Safe travels." Bai Yuxia looked at Chen Mo with a smile, and as her words fell, she had already stepped into the Hundred Beasts Valley.

Chen Mo followed closely behind her, stepping into the Hundred Beasts Valley.

In just an instant, the mist that looked very thin from the outside directly covered everything before his eyes.

The Martial Artists who were just beside him disappeared in an instant, as if he were the only person left in the vast world.

Chen Mo continued to walk forward; the giant beasts that could be seen from the outside no longer existed now.

As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but mist.

At this step, the Martial Artist can no longer exit the Hundred Beasts Valley.

To leave, one must fully enter it, and then find the exit to escape.

Otherwise, even for Chen Mo, turning around and walking backward now would be useless; it would only result in walking in circles on the spot.

Because the place where he is located is not a normal space.

Chen Mo took out the Derivative Divine Weapon to arm himself, and also took out the Qitian Manti Hammer.

Not only that, he also had a Short Blade strapped to his waist.

This Short Blade is also a Derivative Divine Weapon, derived and manifested; although its power is currently sealed, it can still be called very sharp.

To deal with different giant beasts, one must use different weapons; a Giant Hammer may not always be useful, and a Short Blade might be more suitable at times.

As for a long spear or a great halberd, these cannot be wielded at all in the mountain forest.

Chen Mo walked cautiously through the mist with long strides, and after walking another hundred paces, the mist before his eyes finally began to gradually dissipate.

According to the intelligence recorded within the Huantian Alliance, it would not be long before he could fully enter it.

After walking for no more than a moment, the mist dissipated completely.

Chen Mo surveyed his surroundings; the vegetation before him was lush, with wild grasses and shrubs stretching on endlessly.

Not only that, one could occasionally see trees six thousand feet tall and as thick as a person.

Such trees would be considered commonplace in the outside world, yet looking across the entire Return Ruins, this could already be considered an extremely rare sight.

However, although the vegetation here was lush, there was no sound of birds, nor could any snakes, insects, rats, or ants be seen.

Chen Mo examined the environment of the world around him; with trees this tall, he was certainly not in the first or second level of the Hundred Beasts Valley.

However, the number of trees was not very large, so it seemed he was likely in the third or fourth level.

There were ways to continue deeper; within this Hundred Beasts Valley, there were likewise regions that allowed a Martial Artist to venture further inside.

It was just that if one wanted to find them, it would be somewhat difficult, as the map Chen Mo possessed only showed the general situation.

To establish his own position, he had to find a way to locate the small outposts the Alliance had in this place.

However, there was no rush for this; he would first find one or two giant beasts here to hunt and see how much of an advantage he could gain against the giant beasts here by relying on his own strength.

Chen Mo surveyed the situation around him, put away the Giant Hammer, took the Short Blade, pushed aside the vegetation in front of him, and stepped forward.

The Hundred Beasts Valley was very large, and no one knew its specific extent.

But even though hundreds of people had entered together, Chen Mo still could not see any other members of the Alliance around him.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of Wind rang out; Chen Mo reacted instantly, twisted his body, and changed the movement of the long blade in his hand to slash toward his side.

A green snake, over four zhang long and as thick as an adult's arm, struck suddenly like a spring.

"Swish!"

The long blade fell, and Chen Mo sliced the green snake in two directly.

Yet it was not dead; its body twisted strangely in mid-air, and using the surrounding shrubs for leverage, it bit toward Chen Mo's waist.

"Puff!" Chen Mo instantly struck with another blade, applying force skillfully to split the upper half of the green snake vertically into two halves.

Only then did this green snake die, yet no blood remained within its body.

The body of the dead green snake began to dissipate, and a cluster of Heavenly Law condensed.

In just a breath's time, a spirit fruit the size of an adult's fist, flowing with emerald treasure light, appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

This was the Wanfa Spirit Fruit, containing the Heavenly Law of the previous era.
