"It's been too long, I've forgotten."
Phoenix thought about it carefully, then shook its head.
It truly had forgotten how much time had passed since the great battle in the Haotian Realm, and how could it possibly remember the specific details clearly?
Thinking of this, she shook her head repeatedly.
Su Mu
You, a powerful figure, how could you forget something like this?
Su Mu was speechless, but there was nothing she could do.
"The Haotian Realm will soon be in contact with the Youtian Realm, and a great battle will likely be inevitable. Senior, do you have a way to defeat them?"
Su Mu took a deep breath and asked about the key point.
Now that things have come to this, Su Mu could only ask the other party about the more crucial points.
"To increase your strength, a hundred or so cultivators who are about to Tribulation Transcendence should be enough."
Upon hearing this, the Phoenix immediately spoke.
This time, the response was given without hesitation, but the topic of the response nearly drove Su Mu to the brink of collapse.
Are you sending a hundred or so cultivators who are about to Tribulation Transcendence?
Is it really that simple?
Su Mu even doubted whether there was one like him in the entire Youtian Realm.
Oh, and this Phoenix in front of me could probably be considered one.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find one."
Su Mu said in a muffled voice.
The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, indicating that Su Mu was right.
"Indeed, it's extremely difficult for the Youtian Realm to find such a master now."
Phoenix, however, agreed with this statement.
"Will you participate in the battle then, senior? Those cultivators from the Haotian Realm probably want to pluck every hair on your head once they find out."
Su Mu glanced at the Phoenix and thought that, given the nature of the cultivators from the Haotian Realm, they wouldn't easily let the Phoenix go after seeing Phoenix.
Upon hearing this, Phoenix glanced at Su Mu.
This guy has some nerve, talking to it like that.
But I'm getting old, and I'm too lazy to bother with such things.
"Probably, after all, I have a grudge against the cultivators of the Haotian Realm, and this is also my hometown."
The Phoenix nodded slightly, acknowledging this statement.
Hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief; it was wonderful that Phoenix would join the battle.
This gave them another ally.
"However, your human race needs to strengthen itself. If you continue to fight in this state, the human race of the Youtian Realm will be wiped out."
The Phoenix murmured lazily, perhaps a little tired, and slowly began to lie down in its nest on the paulownia tree.
"Isn't there a huge Spirit Marrow mine beneath this Savage Wilderness land? Go and dig it up."
" Spirit Marrow Ore?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then Su Mu's pupils suddenly contracted.
The Spirit Marrow Mine is said to be a super-large Spirit Stone mine that, after being subjected to various forms of compression, has turned into a liquid form.
The Spiritual Power contained in Spirit Marrow is dozens of times greater than that in Spirit Stone, and it is extremely effective for cultivation without any side effects.
I've heard there's such a Spirit Marrow mineral that can be taken directly.
Su Mu's face was filled with unexpected joy.
He truly hadn't expected that such a mineral vein existed in the Youtian Realm.
"Senior, where exactly is this Spirit Marrow Mine located in this Savage Wilderness region? Could you please point out its exact location?"
Su Mu quickly asked.
"Fifty kilometers to the west, there is a mountain ridge; the Spirit Marrow Mine is located below that ridge."
After saying that, Phoenix's eyelids drooped, as if she didn't want to say anything more.
Su Mu was overjoyed to have learned this news by chance, and the three of them immediately stood up.
"I'll gather all the men; you all go ahead."
The eldest princess immediately spoke up.
With such a mineral vein, it's natural to want to occupy it. The princess found people who could be stationed there to guard the vein.
Su Mu nodded, and he and Yu Guyue got up and quickly flew westward.
Su Mu has now reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and his escape techniques are incredibly fast.
The mountains and grasslands below seemed to be pulled back little by little, and the speed didn't appear to be particularly fast. This was only because the two were flying quite high, so the scenery below didn't appear to move very quickly.
When the two estimated that they had flown about fifty miles, their speed dropped significantly.
Looking down carefully, you can see a long, winding ridge that looks bare and doesn't seem to contain any treasure.
A place with treasures should at least have some medicinal herbs growing on it.
However, no, both of them could feel that the Spiritual Power here was extremely thin when they landed on it.
"It should be down here."
Yu Guyue glanced around and then spoke.
Su Mu nodded, agreeing that this was the correct approach.
The Demon Beast in the Savage Wilderness land had all been frightened away, and the two did not see a single Demon Beast after landing.
Aside from some low-level Demon Beast that don't know much, the place is quite peaceful.
Su Mu made a mark in the air, so that the Princess would find this place directly after flying over.
"Let's begin."
First, we need to check if there really is Spirit Marrow mine below, or if we've come to the wrong place.
Su Mu nodded in agreement, and then the two of them used Law Technique to begin digging into the mountain.
At first, it was quite simple. The two of them casually used their Spiritual Power to shake the ridge a little, and then lifted it away, revealing the somewhat pitted ground below the ridge.
Then they continued digging.
The hole in the ground began to deepen, but there was no sense of anything below, and the Spiritual Power remained extremely thin.
After the cave had reached a depth of fifty or sixty meters, the two stopped simultaneously.
"Strangeness."
Su Mu and Yu Guyue exchanged a glance and said in unison.
"What's wrong with you? Did you find the Spirit Marrow mine?"
Just then, the eldest princess arrived with her men and, seeing the mess below, asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu replied, "It seems we've dug up something. This thing is incredibly hard; I tried using my Spiritual Power but couldn't break it open."
"Me too, this thing is ridiculously hard."
With that, Yu Guyue took the lead and flew towards the large hole below, wanting to see what was down there.
When I used my Divine Sense to investigate, I couldn't sense what it was.
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess immediately perked up. She told the others to stay up there, and then flew down with them.
The hole was so large that the three of them could get down without feeling crowded at all.
After blowing away the concrete below, Su Mu used a water jet to wash it over, and then a stone-like object slowly appeared in front of the three of them.
It can't really be called a stone slab; this thing also has a slightly cold feel to it, and it appears black.
"It looks like a piece of Shadow Iron?"
The eldest princess examined it for a moment, then frowned and said...
As far as she knew, this thing seemed to be a piece of Shadow Iron.
