Entering the Ruins

After a series of powerful absorptions, Mo Tang discovered that Xiao Yi Xian's aura had surged dramatically, directly breaking through to the Seven-Star Dou Emperor...

"You... you're being a bit too perverted, aren't you?"

He broke through directly by absorbing energy; this cheat code is even more terrifying than mine!

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at Mo Tang and said in a coquettish tone, "What are you saying! I was already at the peak of the six-star level before. After the previous battle, my bottleneck has been loosened. This is just a coincidence."

"Moreover, this place is perfect for my current cultivation. I believe that if I were to cultivate here, my cultivation speed would be several times faster than outside!"

Mo Tang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking at the exquisite face opposite him, and said, "There's a hidden meaning in what you're saying... Do you intend to stay in a place like this to cultivate for a long time?"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly, sensing that Mo Tang definitely had objections, and said softly, "A long time is naturally not possible, but at least a few months is fine. You should at least break through to the Dou Zong level so that I can better help you..."

Mo Tang fell silent for a moment.

This is indeed a very good option.

But is this girl really that confident now?

Several months? Dou Zong?

The journey from Seven-Star Dou Emperor to Dou Zong might be one that many people never complete in their entire lives...

For reference, Jia Xing Tian is still at the Peak Dou Emperor... If this old man heard this, he would probably be crying in the toilet by now.

"Alright, we can talk about this later. I need to go inside and look for something right now, so why don't you just stay here and cultivate for now..."

Before Mo Tang could finish speaking, Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned serious.

"This Poison Soul Valley is extremely dangerous. If you want to go further in, I'll go with you!"

Mo Tang smiled slightly and said, "No need. Anyway, with the Queen with us, we can handle any danger."

As he spoke, Mo Tang also looked at Queen Medusa, who had been standing beside him for a long time.

"Do you only remember me now? Humph!"

Queen Medusa sneered, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"How could that be..."

Mo Tang smiled somewhat awkwardly and touched his nose.

Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Medusa's attitude.

Although she had just received help from this woman, for some reason, she found herself feeling somewhat uncomfortable around her, as if the two were inherently incompatible.

Seeing the atmosphere shift, Mo Tang quickly interrupted, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go in and take a look together. It's said there's a Ruins deep within Poison Soul Valley. Let's explore it together and see if we can find anything good!"

Having calmed the two women down, Mo Tang San continued their journey deeper into the area.

Of course, before that, Mo Tang maintained his good habit and touched the corpse.

Unfortunately, these people were clearly not wealthy, and their gains were meager, which failed to pique Mo Tang's interest.

As for the Iron Protector, there's not even a mention of him.

There was nothing there except a soul bag filled with souls!

Mo Tang couldn't help but curse, "Trash!"

As they ventured deeper, the venomous insects and beasts they encountered grew increasingly powerful. Mo Tang even spotted a fifth-tier Iron Brand Poison Python ...

However, with a snake Queen like Queen Medusa and a naturally poisonous body like Xiao Yi Xian, the Iron Brand Poison Python fled as soon as it sensed their presence.

However, adhering to the principle of diligence, thrift, and avoiding waste, Mo Tang still chased after them and directly killed the Poisonous Python that was too scared to raise its head because of the two women, and obtained a Fifth-Tier Magic Core.

"Tsk tsk, not bad..."

According to the system's assessment, this Magic Core can convert over 100 points of Mid-grade Energy, indicating that it is also a peak fifth-tier Poisonous Python.

Watching Mo Tang's actions, Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously, "What's wrong, Mo Tang? Do you really need these Magic Core?"

Mo Tang, who had been feeling quite pleased with himself, paused for a moment and said, "Uh... it's alright. I do need Magic Core of rank four or higher..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xiao Yi Xian throw something at him.

"What's this?"

Holding a rather nice-looking snakeskin bag, Mo Tang looked completely bewildered.

Xiao Yi Xian waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, just some Magic Core left over from the Demonic Beast I've hunted over the years. I don't have any use for them. Since you want them, I'll give them to you."

Mo Tang was somewhat surprised, but still did not refuse the other party's kindness.

But when he saw the bag containing dozens of colorful Magic Core, he was immediately startled.

"How many Demonic Beasts have you killed?!"

Compared to Mo Tang's exaggerated reaction, Xiao Yi Xian was much calmer, simply saying, "Most of them are poisonous creatures, and I happen to need the materials from them, so I'll keep these Magic Core."

Mo Tang twitched his lips, sensing that the girl's hands were definitely covered in blood.

But...

"Another 1890 energy points, it makes me not even want to fight anymore..."

Adding to the previous 1,500+, he's just a few dozen points away from advancing to the Nine-Star Dou King level.

However, Mo Tang is not in a hurry now, because in this kind of place, it is too easy to collect these dozens of Energy Points.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, Mo Tang killed two fourth-tier Ground Tiger Scorpion and then accumulated enough Energy Points to upgrade to Nine-Star Dou King.

Without the slightest hesitation, he was promoted immediately.

Having just been angered by what Xiao Yi Xian Versailles said, Mo Tang is determined to vindicate himself as the Protagonist.

Seeing Mo Tang's sudden surge of power, both women couldn't help but show surprise.

"Oops, I leveled up without even realizing it."

Seeing Mo Tang's affected manner, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but laugh, while Queen Medusa gave her a disdainful look and two words...

"Childish!"

However, when Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian's gazes both turned to her, our Queen immediately felt uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at! I'm not some kind of pervert like you!"

Queen Medusa, her face flushed with shame and anger, glared at the two of them before turning and leaving.

Being around those two completely shattered the Queen's pride...

About fifteen minutes later, a giant stone gate appeared before Mo Tang San...

According to the standards on the map, the Ruins are behind this stone gate.

The two women looked at Mo Tang simultaneously, and after he nodded, Queen Medusa stepped into the stone gate first, followed by Mo Tang and Xiao Yi Xian.

After entering the stone gate, all three of them couldn't help but stop.

What appeared before them now were enormous halls...

Although most of these halls have become ruins, their former grandeur can still be seen from their scale.

"Judging from this, this seems to be the ruins of some ancient sect, but unfortunately, time has passed and everything here has been destroyed..."
