The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

Chapter 89 Returning to the Spirit Academy

Yun Mo shook his head, "It's only because you were here, senior, that no other problems arose. Thank you, senior!"

Lin Diao looked at him with her eerie eyes and only nodded slightly.

"Alright, alright, Yunmo, Uncle Diao doesn't like this, um—but you can put your gratitude for Uncle Diao on me, hehe." Lin Jing playfully blinked her bright, starry eyes and teased.

After Yun Mo regained consciousness, she breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in her heart, she did consider Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan as one of her few friends.

Hearing her clear and melodious voice, Yun Mo smiled and said, "Alright, next time, when we divide the spoils, you'll get the lion's share."

"That's called sharing the spoils," Lin Jing rolled her eyes at him, then her gaze shifted, "Now that you're alright, let's start the path to supreme power again!"

'

"Lin Diao chuckled and gently pulled Lin Jing along. "Your father sent a message asking me to bring you along. Besides, we've been out for quite a while this time. With your current level of cultivation, it won't be easy for you to walk the path your father walked."

"No, Uncle Diao, let me train here a little longer. I feel better here than at home!" Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise. She tried to slip away, but she couldn't get away from Lin Diao at all.

Lin Diao had watched her grow up since she was a child and knew her temperament. He shook his head and ignored her. Instead, he said to Yun Mo again, "The evil mark between your eyebrows is too deeply integrated with your soul. I have no way to remove it for the time being."

Yun Mo's expression froze, his brows furrowing. He had thought that with his cooperation after his awakening, the threat posed by the evil race's mark could be completely eradicated.

"Senior, is there any other way?

"Your soul is ultimately too weak; it will shatter completely with the slightest force. Therefore, you will have to remove the mark of the evil race yourself."

When your cultivation level is high enough and your soul is strong enough, you can find the top experts in the vast world and cooperate with them to completely remove this mark.

Yun Mo's lips twitched, and he said in a dry throat, "What level do I need to reach to do that—"

"It must be a Supreme Being, at least at this level of divine soul to stop the aftershocks of the Evil Emperor's Mark collapsing."

Lin Diao said calmly.

"Earthly Supreme—" Yun Mo rubbed his temples, a chill running through him; this was almost becoming a thorn in his side.

If this mark were to cause trouble every time he broke through his cultivation level or suffered even the slightest injury, then even with the protection of the jade wall, he would eventually be corrupted by the evil energy.

Lin Diao sensed his increasingly disordered aura and knew what he was thinking. He said, "Therefore, your spiritual soul must be stronger than your current cultivation level. Otherwise, your mind will ultimately be unable to resist the influence of evil energy."

Yun Mo smiled wryly, knowing she could only keep his words firmly in mind.

"However, since you're Xiaojing's friend, I'll lend you a hand. With this seal, you won't need to worry about the mark interfering with you before you break through to the Supreme Realm."

Lin Diao extended his slender fingers, and an extremely powerful and terrifying intent enveloped Yun Mo's body, slowly circling around him. Finally, it shone with purple light and surged into Yun Mo's brow, forming a seal that isolated heaven and earth.

Upon hearing this, Yun Mo's eyes lit up, but Lin Diao's next words made him roll his eyes again.

"This seal will only last for two years. If you do not become a supreme being after two years, it means that you may have been corrupted by evil energy. At that time, in order to prevent a traitor from appearing in the world, it will completely sever your life force."

'

"Huh? Uncle Diao! This seal of yours—" Lin Jing was stunned, her pupils filled with confusion. How could Uncle Diao do something so out of character for him?

However, Lin Diao did not explain anything. Instead, he pointed his finger and made the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone in Yun Mo's storage ring appear in their eyes. "It is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth, but it will take a very, very long time for it to be naturally formed. I'm here to help you out."

As he finished speaking, an extremely refined spiritual energy emerged from his palm, completely enveloping the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone.

If other terrifying beings were standing here, they would also be shocked by this extremely refined spiritual energy. This spiritual energy is so powerful that it is impossible to count how much supreme spiritual liquid would be needed to successfully condense it.

Under the influence of these refined spiritual energies, the spiritual veins within the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone disintegrated, becoming strands of growth energy that flowed into what was being nurtured within the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone.

"Buzz—"

After absorbing an unknown amount of refined spiritual energy, the divine stone finally unleashed a hazy, all-encompassing meaning.

At the same time, these meanings seemed to be uniquely endowed, slowly merging with the laws of heaven and earth of the vast world, and finally bursting out with an incomparably dazzling beam of light, soaring straight into the sky.

"Celestial Evolution—"

A profound and vast sound of the Great Dao, etched by heaven and earth, appeared in the souls of the group, leaving them staring at the stone book in disbelief.

After the Heavenly Evolution Divine Stone dissolved, what it contained was revealed before their eyes: a stone book composed of jade stones derived from laws, its swirling meaning clearer than ever before.

Sometimes it transforms into the five elements of heaven and earth, sometimes into the two energies of yin and yang, and sometimes into the hazy realm of time and space—

"Alright, that's all I can do to help you. I hope you can eventually break free from the mark of the evil race and become one of the strongest beings in this vast world. At that time, perhaps—"

After Lin Diao finished doing all this, he watched as the stone book fell into Yun Mo's hands, and finally shook his head without finishing his sentence.

Although Yun Mo in front of them is very talented, talent alone is far from enough for people to reach their level.

Yun Mo took a deep breath, put away the stone book, knowing that he might never be able to repay the favor he owed this time, but he still said, "I will certainly not disappoint you, senior."

"I'm not really disappointed, just a little regretful. Xiao Jing, say goodbye to your two friends, we need to go back too," Lin Diao said, looking at Lin Jing beside him.

"Well—then Yunmo, Qingxuan, see you later! When the time comes, let's team up again and explore the vast world together!" Lin Jing pursed her lips, but still looked forward to the scene of their future reunion, and smiled.

"Okay!" Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance and said with a smile.

"Then it's really goodbye!"

"...

'

"Hey, Uncle Diao, what's with that seal? Why did you put up that kind of seal?!"

"That kid is actually just as lazy as you. His so-called disappointment is just talk. As for the seal, consider it my way of spurring him on. His talent is indeed very high, so don't waste it."

"So, Uncle Diao lied to him! That seal doesn't actually have a two-year validity period."

"You little troublemaker, you're so clever. But let me tell you a secret, you actually forgot to tell them your identity."

"Hehe, Uncle Diao, you don't understand. When we meet again, I'm going to give Yun Mo and Sister Qing Xuan a real surprise!"

"Aren't you afraid they'll distance themselves from you because of this?"

"They wouldn't be like that, they're my friends!"

Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan watched Lin Jing and Lin Diao's figures gradually disappear, and they both had some strange expressions. Lin Jing's liveliness made it easy for her to enter their hearts and affect their emotions.

"Next, should we return to the Spirit Academy, or continue our training on the Supreme Path?" Wen Qingxuan's phoenix eyes flashed, and her red lips parted slightly.

With the seal placed on Yun Mo's brow by that senior, her cultivation speed can be increased slightly, which will definitely allow her to advance to the next level. Now, she feels that continuing to train on the Supreme Path is somewhat pointless.

Moreover, after this incident, it's estimated that they will find it difficult to continue their training here.

"Let's go back to the Spirit Academy. We'll wait here for a bit. Elder Wu Zhang is on his way." Yun Mo smiled at her and pulled her to sit on the edge of the cliff, wanting to take this opportunity to rest.

-

This trip out for training was quite unexpected for Yun Mo; he actually encountered Lin Jing—it seems that Lin Dong might have indeed stayed here before.

It's a bit of a pity that Lin Jing didn't invite him to the Martial Realm. She still hasn't revealed her identity. Looking back, he did gain a lot this time. His cultivation level was only one step away from reaching the level of physical body refinement. At the same time, he also obtained a lot of resources. Of course, the most valuable one was the Heavenly Evolution Stone Book.

That stone book was a true creation of heaven and earth. Yun Mo even had a faint feeling that the help that stone book would bring him in the future would reach an unimaginable level.

"After returning to the Martial Spirit Academy, I should also go back to the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy. After all, quite a bit of time has passed since I came out to train," Wen Qingxuan said softly, looking at his face.

Yun Mo pursed her lips, but still nodded slightly. Given Wen Qingxuan's status, it was impossible for her to stay in the Martial Spirit Academy forever.

"Then we'll probably meet again at the college competition, which is still more than a year away."

"Actually, you could also come to Wanhuang Spirit Academy as an exchange student from your Martial Spirit Academy." Wen Qingxuan looked at his somewhat sentimental expression and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"That would really allow the evil mark to corrupt me—and then, Dean Tang Qiu would suppress me so that Elder Wu Ling would have to go and redeem me." Yun Mo rolled his eyes.

"Your willpower is so weak? By the way, give me all those sketchbooks in your storage ring." Wen Qingxuan remembered something, stared at Yun Mo and said, and finally simply stretched out her jade hand towards Yun Mo.

"I didn't see it. I'll destroy it as soon as I get back to the Spirit Academy." Yun Mo's lips twitched as he watched her reach out, and he also extended a hand without a storage ring to resist.

"You think I'd believe that?" Wen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows and leaned closer to Yun Mo again.

But as Yun Mo looked at her leaning body, a smile flashed in his eyes. He fell directly onto the rock behind him, and then took the opportunity to gently wrap his arms around her slender waist. "You came here by yourself."

"You! You pervert, the one looking at the picture book, let go of me!"

Caught off guard, Wen Qingxuan collapsed onto Yun Mo.

Looking at his face so close to hers and feeling the aura emanating from him, Wen Qingxuan's pretty face instantly flushed with a drunken blush.

I had contact with Yun Mo before, back on the Spirit Road.

Moreover, that happened after I had drunk fruit wine, and I didn't have such a clear feeling in that hazy state.

"You're going to take my last treasure, how could I possibly let it go? Besides, you're going back to the Myriad Phoenix Spirit Academy—I'm not moving, I just want to lie here on this rock with you for a while."

"Then I can only lie down for a while."

""

"Don't worry, that old man won't be that fast—"

"uh-huh!"

Yun Mo's face stiffened, and he felt speechless. Why did he have to mention the old man, and why did it happen so quickly?

Wen Qingxuan reacted immediately, pinched Yun Mo's waist hard, and flashed to Elder Wu Zhang's side, bowing respectfully.

"I was scared half to death by the strange changes on the Supreme Road and rushed here immediately, but I didn't expect you to be hiding here. I should have just stayed put."

Wu Zhang smiled at Wen Qingxuan, then glared at Yun Mo and said.

"However, logically speaking, you should still be on the Supreme Road. How did you end up here? Did you rush straight to the Ninth City? That would be a bit of a pity, as there are some pretty good opportunities on that road."

But judging from your cultivation level and current foundation, that doesn't seem right either. If you were just traveling, there's no reason for you to progress so quickly. Could it be that you broke the rules, returned from the city, and fought your way out? Wow, that's quite something.

"Uh—actually, something unexpected happened." Yun Mo stood up and looked at Wu Zhang, who was frowning with white brows, and said.

"An accident?" Wu Zhang recalled the terrifying aura from before, and his somewhat aged face wrinkled. Could it be that Yun Mo really had some kind of communication with that terrifying being?

If it's friendly, that's fine, but if it's hostile, then the Martial Spirit Academy might face a life-or-death situation.

"Actually, it's all in the past now. Elder Wu Zhang, take Qingxuan and me back to the Martial Spirit Academy. There's nothing left to train on the Supreme Path."

Yun Mo felt that it was too complicated to explain in a few words, and Elder Wu Zhang might not even believe those things, so it would be better to let him find out about the Supreme Road himself.

"Alright, it's good that you're all alright. Now go back to the Spirit Academy and cultivate slowly. After your experience, you'll have gained more knowledge and skills, which you'll need to further absorb and digest."

We can't let the insights gained from these experiences go to waste; that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Wu Zhang stroked his white beard and nodded to Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan. The most valuable thing about these experiences is the insights gained from them. At least in Wu Zhang's opinion, these are the most important things for Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan.
