Spirit Wheel Realm Completion, Restless Night!

Late at night!

After a day of trials, the exhausted students had long since fallen asleep, and the camp was silent.

Only the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.

In the shadows,

Qing Luo silently emerged from his tent. After glancing at those on night watch, he headed toward the outskirts of the Northern Spirit Plains.

Eventually, Qing Luo arrived at a cave he had discovered during the day and piled broken stones across its entrance.

This was a training site Qing Luo had prepared long ago.

All the Spirit Beasts within dozens of miles had already been hunted down by him, so cultivating here would pose no danger.

"These Jade Spirit Fruits should be enough to let me break through to the Spirit Wheel Realm Late Stage, perhaps even the Spirit Wheel Realm Peak..."

Looking at the densely packed, round fruits before him and sensing the pure Spiritual Energy emanating from them,

Qing Luo said expectantly.

He was not like Mu Chen, who had a father at the Spirit Soul Peak Realm and many powerful experts fiercely loyal to the Mu Region...

Behind Qing Luo stood only Xu Mu, who was at the Spirit Soul Realm Middle Stage.

Whether in strength or territory, the Azure Domain was the weakest among the Nine Regions.

If he wanted to venture into the Black Nether Abyss and seek the Nine Nether Sparrow, Qing Luo could rely only on himself...

Without hesitation,

Qing Luo grabbed a handful of Jade Spirit Fruits and swallowed them.

Pure, vast Spiritual Energy instantly spread throughout his whole body.

Following the Cultivation Method of the Azure Sky Glazed Art, Qing Luo guided that Spiritual Energy through fixed pathways.

As the Cultivation Method circulated,

A faint glow rippled from Qing Luo's whole body. His slightly yellowish skin became increasingly translucent and jade-white beneath the glow...

Eating fruits, cultivating!

As time passed, the Jade Spirit Fruits before Qing Luo steadily dwindled.

His aura grew deeper and deeper, while his skin beneath the glow became ever fairer and more translucent!

Buzz—

An incomparably powerful aura swept outward.

Qing Luo's eyes snapped open, his Double Pupils deeply scanning the surroundings.

After discovering that no one else had noticed, a trace of suspicion flashed through Qing Luo's eyes...

Were they all sleeping that soundly,

or was I simply overthinking it?!

After waiting for a while and confirming that he had not alerted anyone in the camp, Qing Luo sat cross-legged once more and refined all the few remaining Jade Spirit Fruits before him.

He stabilized his Spirit Wheel Realm Late Stage cultivation.

Fortunately, the Azure Sky Glazed Art was of extraordinary quality. Otherwise, refining these Jade Spirit Fruits alone would have required a great deal of time!

"What nonsense..."

On a mountainside not far from the cave,

Teacher Mo looked at the tightly sealed cave. Sensing the vast Spiritual Energy within, a hint of gratification rose in his eyes.

"What was wrong with cultivating in the camp? Why come all the way here in the middle of the night..."

Teacher Mo wore a helpless expression.

That evening, from the conversations of the returning students, Teacher Mo had learned that Qing Luo had slain the Fire Spirit Ape King and obtained Jade Spirit Fruits.

He had also been quite curious about Qing Luo's strength.

Thus, after sensing Qing Luo leave the camp, he had followed him all the way out of concern.

Until just now,

If he had not blocked the Spiritual Energy fluctuations from Qing Luo's breakthrough, every Spirit Beast within a hundred miles would likely have been awakened.

They might have come here and disrupted Qing Luo's breakthrough.

However, upon sensing that Qing Luo had already reached the Spirit Wheel Realm Late Stage, Teacher Mo's face was full of praise and gratification.

"Spirit Wheel Realm Late Stage..."

"Such talent is rare even beyond the Northern Spirit Territory. What can the West Courtyard use to compete with the East Courtyard for this batch of Five Great Academies slots?"

Sensing that Qing Luo was about to finish cultivating,

Teacher Mo no longer lingered and headed straight back toward the camp.

At the same time,

Inside the students' tent, Mu Chen confirmed that everyone around him was asleep.

Only then did he put on his clothes and slowly step out of the tent!

Unlike Qing Luo, who enjoyed the privilege of a private tent, Mu Chen had to squeeze into a tent with the other students.

This made slipping out to cultivate at night much more difficult for him than it was for Qing Luo.

Of course,

The tent Mu Chen slept in was filled entirely with male students!

As Mu Chen stepped out of the tent,

Tang Qian'er, not far away, noticed someone leaving another tent.

She sat up in bed.

Who was it?

"Could it be someone from the Liu Region..."

After a day of trials, everyone else was exhausted and sleeping deeply...

In the end, Tang Qian'er fought back her drowsiness and stepped out of the tent, wanting to investigate.

"Hmm..."

Teacher Mo, who had just returned to camp,

Suddenly gave a soft sound and looked toward the woods behind the camp.

He sensed Mu Chen heading toward the woods instead of sleeping in the middle of the night. Just as he was about to question him, his expression suddenly turned strange.

He saw Tang Qian'er step out of her tent as well, and she was also headed toward the woods behind the camp...

"This is..."

A meaningful smile flashed through Teacher Mo's eyes.

As someone who had been through it before, Teacher Mo roughly understood what would happen next.

Although Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er were students,

The Northern Spirit Academy did not explicitly forbid such matters between students.

Moreover, Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er had the Mu Region and Tang Domain behind them.

After sensing that they had not gone far, he did not spoil their fun by interrupting them.

Pretending not to notice, he returned directly to his own tent.

After all, they were right around the camp. If anything truly happened, he would be able to sense it immediately.

"They really are young..."

"Still so restless even in the Northern Spirit Plains!"

Back in his tent, Teacher Mo sighed emotionally. Thinking of his own youth, he slowly fell asleep with a nostalgic smile.

Under the night sky,

Qing Luo returned to camp. Looking toward the woods behind the camp, his steps paused slightly.

"Hmm..."

Qing Luo soon spotted a figure in the woods.

After discovering that it was Mu Chen,

He did not immediately leave. Instead, his attention was drawn to the seal Mu Chen was forming in his hand.

Activating his Double Pupils,

Qing Luo could see vast black Spiritual Energy gathering in Mu Chen's right palm.

This black Spiritual Energy ran through the pathways inside Mu Chen's body, giving off a fierce and dangerous aura.

"This is... the Netherworld Death Seal?!"

Knowing the original story, Qing Luo recognized at a glance that Mu Chen was attempting to condense a second Netherworld Death Seal.

The Netherworld Death Seal's rank was unknown.

By continuously stacking seals, it could increase the explosive force and power of the Spiritual Art.

It was a growth-type Spiritual Art.

Because he possessed the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger and the Kirin Treasure Technique, Qing Luo had given up cultivating the Netherworld Death Seal.

Now, it seemed that this Cultivation Method truly had its unique merits.

After observing the circulation path of this Cultivation Method through his Double Pupils, Qing Luo formed a seal with his right hand and began imitating the Netherworld Death Seal.

As the Spiritual Art circulated,

A streak of jade-white Spiritual Energy gathered in Qing Luo's palm along his pathways, naturally condensing into a white Netherworld Death Seal.

After entering the Jade White Stage,

Qing Luo's palm was already as fair as jade. Combined with the white seal,

It would be impossible to notice without careful inspection...

Looking at the Spirit Seal in his palm, Qing Luo could sense that its power was inferior to the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger. However, the heaven-defying aspect of this Cultivation Method lay in its unique potential for growth.

Moreover, cultivating the Netherworld Death Seal went from easy to difficult. As the seals stacked, cultivation would become increasingly difficult.

By Qing Luo's estimation, even with his current Spirit Wheel Realm Completion strength, he could only condense the second seal.

Bang—

A burst of uncontrolled Spiritual Energy swept out from nearby, making Qing Luo pause in slight surprise.

"Failed..."

Looking at the chaotic black Spiritual Energy in his palm, Mu Chen's entire right hand trembled slightly from the intense pain caused by the rampant Spiritual Energy.

"If I could obtain Jade Spirit Fruits, I could definitely condense the second Netherworld Death Seal!"

"Qing Luo has so many Jade Spirit Fruits. He really is hateful!"

Mu Chen said in an annoyed tone.

He did not notice that, in the woods nearby, a pair of eyes was watching him in astonishment.

"Mu Chen..."

Tang Qian'er entered the woods.

After seeing the figure in the distance clearly, her eyes filled with shock and surprise.

"Who's there?"

Sensing movement behind him, Mu Chen suddenly turned and saw Tang Qian'er not far away.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard some movement. I thought it was someone from the Liu Region, so I came out to take a look."

Tang Qian'er rubbed her tired eyes and asked,

"What are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

"Practicing a Spiritual Art. Go back and rest."

Tang Qian'er: ???

"No wonder you're so strong. You don't even sleep in the middle of the night..."

"Let's go back. We still have to continue the trials tomorrow."

Mu Chen said, leaving the woods together with Tang Qian'er.

They returned to their tents in the camp.
