"Young Master Ye, do you still want to go deeper?"
Atop an ancient tree, Yun Sangyi and Mo Tianxiao were resting.
Yun Sangyi asked with a slightly flushed face, carrying a touch of anticipation.
During this time, the two of them had practically terrorized the majority of the demonic beasts in the vicinity.
Many beasts had now become incredibly vigilant, making them hesitant to make a move so easily.
Leaning against a thick branch, Mo Tianxiao rubbed a spatial ring in his hand and said leisurely, "Naturally, we must go deeper. Could it be that Miss Yun does not want to harvest even better heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"
He had grown increasingly skilled at stealing these beasts' treasures, doing so almost silently and without a single failure.
Thus, he naturally wanted to get his hands on more good stuff to take back for his junior sisters to use, which would also perfectly serve to cultivate his own subordinates.
Moreover, even though stealing was a shameful act, it allowed him to harvest a lot of villain points, so why not do it?
Yun Sangyi pursed her lips, her gaze wavering. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Alright! Then I will accompany Young Master Ye."
By now, her cultivation had impressively reached the late stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.
Possessing a massive amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, coupled with her accumulated foundation, she had achieved a breakthrough in almost no time.
Feeling the tremendous changes brought by her increased strength, she had also become addicted to this thrill.
This feeling of being nourished by heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and then breaking through with ease.
Since the other party happened to have such a heaven-defying secret technique, why couldn't she use him to obtain enough benefits for herself? As for the rest, there was no rush at the moment.
After all, she didn't need to pay any price; she only needed to follow him to enjoy the right to share the spoils.
Perhaps after returning from this trip, the heavenly materials and earthly treasures she obtained would be enough for her to charge into the Dharma Idol realm. At that time, her status and strength would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Her imagination was beautiful, but she had never considered one thing: what is free is always the most expensive.
Mo Tianxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled at Yun Sangyi, his voice carrying a faint tease, "Then let us move forward. We absolutely must be very careful in our next actions."
Further ahead lay the depths of the inner circle of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, no longer far from the true core. This meant they would encounter even stronger demonic beasts, and the danger level would rise sharply.
The fact that they hadn't seen a single other treasure hunter along the way was enough to illustrate the danger here.
But extreme danger also came with substantial rewards.
Wearing a black hood and dressed in ink-black robes, Mo Tianxiao took the lead and set off deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Yun Sangyi also quickly put on a bamboo hat, using a veil to conceal her face.
Whether stealing or robbing, they could not expose their appearances, otherwise a single slip-up might result in them being wanted by these demonic beasts.
The two did not advance quickly, mainly to avoid making too much noise.
As time passed, the two gradually approached the core area of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The environment here was vastly different from the outskirts. Even the surrounding weeds were dozens or hundreds of years old; if an ordinary person took a bite, they might even be able to step onto the path of cultivation.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures appearing here were even more innumerable. Treasures aged seven or eight hundred years were commonplace here.
They also saw quite a few thousand-year Blood Spirit Mushrooms, but all were watched over by powerful demonic beasts, seemingly protecting these treasures as they grew robustly.
Mo Tianxiao and his companion had no intention of making a move on these treasures. For one, the guarding beasts were incredibly strong, making it difficult to escape if discovered.
For another, they were currently not lacking in treasures of this level. What could tempt them now had to be at least seven or eight thousand years old.
The closer they got to the core area, the more Mo Tianxiao could feel the changes in the spiritual energy in the air; it was almost thick enough to condense into liquid.
As expected of an undeveloped primeval world, the resources were terrifyingly abundant.
No wonder there were so many powerful demonic beasts here.
Fortunately, the Hundred Thousand Mountains were separated from human society by the Chaotic Star Sea, otherwise this massive faction would likely cause great unease among human cultivators.
Even an occasional beast tide would be enough to give human cities a hard time.
After the two continued their journey for another day, they finally encountered something that left them clicking their tongues in astonishment.
"Boom!!"
"Little human bug, to dare run wild in a place like this, what gall!"
"Senior Demonic Beast! I only want this Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus, please grant my request, Senior!"
"Hmph! Is this heaven and earth wonder something a little bug like you can dare to covet? You overrate yourself!"
"Refusing the face given to you, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Violent tremors echoed from afar, and the commotion was so terrifying that even Mo Tianxiao and Yun Sangyi, who were thousands of kilometers away, felt an oppressive sensation like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering.
Mo Tianxiao and Yun Sangyi exchanged a glance, both seeing the horror in each other's eyes as they spoke in unison, "A Saint Realm Great Demon!?"
With such a terrifying commotion and that vast Saint Origin power, Mo Tianxiao instantly understood that there were Saint Realm experts fighting.
Yun Sangyi reacted similarly; she had also witnessed Saint Realm experts fighting, so she could naturally perceive the commotion in the distance.
This fluctuation of Saint Origin was much stronger than that massive python about to transform into a flood dragon in the Chaotic Star Sea; it was a true Saint Realm Great Demon!
"No wonder we haven't encountered a single demonic beast along the way. It turns out a Saint Realm Great Demon has been lying dormant here."
Mo Tianxiao smacked his lips inwardly. They hadn't even reached the core area yet and had already encountered a true Saint Realm Great Demon. One could only imagine what kind of existences the beasts living in the core area were.
The power of these Hundred Thousand Mountains seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.
"There is a human fighting a Saint Realm demonic beast!"
Deep astonishment and shock appeared on Yun Sangyi's delicate face. Just who would dare intrude into this kind of place alone and even start a fight with a Saint Realm demonic beast? It was simply terrifying.
Mo Tianxiao was also full of interest in the battle ahead. Just which fierce warrior dared to venture alone into such a forbidden zone for humans?
"Let's go take a look!"
Mo Tianxiao did not hesitate, directly transforming into a streak of light and shooting out like an arrow released from a bowstring.
"Young Master Ye!?"
Seeing Mo Tianxiao act so impulsively, Yun Sangyi stomped her foot fiercely, her jade-like face flushing red with anger at his behavior once again.
"This madman! He might as well get me killed! And he just said we needed to act carefully from now on!"
Just because he's wearing a quasi-Saint artifact, he acts so arrogantly, even daring to join the fun of a battle between Saint Realm experts! I really don't know how he has survived until now.
After scolding him coquettishly, Yun Sangyi could only bite the bullet and follow, simultaneously suppressing her aura infinitely until she almost merged with the air.
At this moment, even if she stood right in front of Mo Tianxiao, he might not necessarily be able to detect her.
However, in just a split second, Yun Sangyi slightly released a bit of her aura, roughly equivalent to the Qi Condensation stage, and only then did she keep up with Mo Tianxiao's pace.
Wearing his black hood, Mo Tianxiao glanced at Yun Sangyi with large dark eyes, the corners of his mouth beneath the mask curving up slightly.
I have to hand it to Yun Sangyi. Daring to follow me even here... what guts!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
