**
A vast, dark void stretched endlessly, its oppressive darkness seemingly capable of swallowing even the air itself, leaving one feeling immense pressure and weight.
—Whoosh!—
The silence that had persisted for an unknown duration was abruptly broken.
Ripples spread through the void as a faint rift appeared, from which several streaks of light shot out, illuminating the darkness for a brief moment.
Four figures hovered in midair, their bodies instinctively wrapped in spiritual energy as they emerged. Their gazes were sharp and wary as they scanned the surroundings. Only after a brief moment, when no anomalies occurred, did the spiritual light around them dim slightly, revealing their appearances.
These four were none other than Cai Lin, Mo Yu's clone, Mang Lie, and Mang Yu, who had come from Myriad Pythons Mountain.
"This is the Divine Beast Origin?"
Cai Lin looked around in mild surprise, only to find endless darkness surrounding them. There was no trace of the so-called Divine Beast Origin in sight.
"Mhm. This is a void space within the Divine Beast Origin," Mang Lie replied solemnly, his gaze fixed on the distant darkness.
Just as Cai Lin and Mo Yu's clone nodded, the latter's expression suddenly changed. He lifted his head and looked sharply to the left.
Ripples formed in the darkness, and then—to his astonishment—he saw a massive boulder, nearly a hundred feet wide, silently cutting through the void like a meteor, hurtling toward them.
"That's our ride," Mang Yu said with a smile to Cai Lin and Mo Yu's clone. "Since this void space doesn't allow us to absorb spiritual energy, we have to ride on these floating boulders and transfer between them multiple times before we can reach the Divine Beast Origin."
"We must get on this boulder," Mang Lie reminded them sternly. "Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the next one, which could take half a day to appear. If luck isn't on our side, we might not see another for one or two days."
Mo Yu's clone and Cai Lin immediately tensed up. If they were forced to wait for a day or two, their spiritual energy would likely be significantly depleted. In such a dangerous place, running out of energy could mean certain death.
As they spoke, the massive boulder whistled toward them at an incredible speed.
At that moment, the four of them burst into motion, shooting through the void and landing firmly atop the boulder. Spiritual energy surged from their bodies, anchoring them to its surface.
—Whoosh!—
The boulder trembled slightly before accelerating even further, streaking through the void toward the distant unknown.
Not long after they landed, Mang Yu suddenly let out an excited cheer. She clenched her small hand, and from the ground beneath them, a crimson glow erupted. A streak of blood-colored light shot up from the boulder and landed in her palm.
"This is…?"
Although he was only a clone, Mo Yu was still, in essence, Mo Yu himself. After splitting from his true body, he was a unique existence in this world.
Seeing Mang Yu's delighted expression, a thought crossed his mind, and he asked softly.
Mang Yu giggled and opened her palm, revealing a lump of crimson soil roughly the size of a fist.
The soil was deep red, as if drenched in fresh blood. A thick, almost overwhelming scent of blood emanated from it.
The moment Mo Yu caught its scent, he felt his own blood boil for a brief instant. An inexplicable impulse surged within him, making him want to swallow the blood-colored soil whole.
"This is Blood Spirit Mud," Mang Yu explained cheerfully. "According to legend, in ancient times, some powerful beings in the Divine Beast Origin foresaw the invasion of extraterrestrial evil clans.
When destruction was imminent, they self-destructed in an attempt to stop the enemy. The Blood Spirit Mud contains traces of their flesh essence."
"This substance can be consumed, and once ingested, it greatly benefits the physical body. If given to a skilled alchemist, it can even be refined into Blood Spirit Pills, which can completely transform one's body."
Hearing this, Cai Lin, noticing Mo Yu's puzzled expression, recalled records from her clan's ancient texts and elaborated further.
Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully. Deep in his memories, he had some recollection of Blood Spirit Mud, but after his rebirth, those memories had faded with time.
Mang Yu, still holding the Blood Spirit Mud, divided it into four pieces. She handed one to Mang Lie before offering the remaining two to Mo Yu and Cai Lin.
"Thank you."
Cai Lin smiled faintly and accepted the gift without hesitation.
Mo Yu, on the other hand, felt slightly awkward since he wasn't particularly familiar with Mang Yu. However, he didn't refuse and took the piece. At the same time, his impression of the young girl improved considerably.
After receiving his share, Mo Yu noticed that, due to being split into four portions, the Blood Spirit Mud was now only the size of a fingertip. Imitating Mang Yu and the others, he rubbed the small lump between his fingers, turning it into a pill-like form before tossing it into his mouth.
—Boom!—
The moment the Blood Spirit Mud entered his mouth, an intense wave of energy exploded within him. A scalding heat rushed through his body, instantly spreading to every corner. The burning sensation was so strong that a faint red glow appeared on Mo Yu's face.
The scorching heat lasted for several minutes before gradually dissipating, leaving behind an indescribable sensation of comfort. Mo Yu couldn't help but exhale deeply.
As the heat completely faded, he quickly examined his body and was surprised to find that his physical strength had increased—albeit slightly.
Though the improvement was subtle, Mo Yu was well aware of how difficult it was to enhance his physical body after mastering the Divine Beast Physique.
His true body cultivated the Path of Thunder, while his clone focused on the path of the Divine Beast Physique, prioritizing bodily refinement!
Even with constant spiritual energy tempering, his body's growth remained slow. After all, the further one progressed in physical cultivation, the harder it became.
Yet now, after consuming a single piece of Blood Spirit Mud, his body, which had remained stagnant for some time, showed signs of strengthening once again. This revelation filled him with excitement.
As expected, Blood Spirit Mud was just as valuable as he had remembered—an absolute treasure for body refinement!
Noticing Mo Yu's expression of joy, Cai Lin chuckled softly.
During her time in the clan, she had learned about the fundamental difference between Mo Yu's true body and his clone—their differing cultivation paths. This was, in fact, their only true distinction.
If the clone surpassed the true body in strength, then the clone would become the new true body, while the original would become the clone. Since there was no inherent hierarchy between them, their identities could be reversed.
Of course, considering their current strength difference, such a reversal wouldn't happen anytime soon.
Though this concept sounded bizarre, Cai Lin knew that once both the true body and the clone reached a certain level, they would eventually merge again. At that point, Mo Yu would possess the full mastery of both cultivation paths, and his combat prowess would skyrocket. It was truly a miraculous method of cultivation.
Upon learning this, Cai Lin had been somewhat relieved. Otherwise, facing two Mo Yus at once would have felt rather strange.
"Brother Mo Yu, do you know that the Blood Spirit Mud you just consumed would be worth at least a hundred thousand Supreme Spiritual Liquid in the outside world? And even then, it would be nearly impossible to find," Mang Yu said with a smile.
"Haha, then I must thank you," Mo Yu replied, his tone filled with genuine gratitude now that he understood its true value.
Although this amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid was nothing to his true body, for his clone, who was only at the Sixth Grade Supreme level, it was quite valuable.
"No need to be so polite. We're all companions, and besides, Brother Mo Yu's true body is already an Earthly Supreme. That means you'll certainly become one in the future too. Reaching the Earthly Supreme level is my dream!" Mang Yu said with a bright, youthful smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu smiled slightly and said, "You'll definitely become an Earthly Supreme one day."
Mang Yu's smile grew even sweeter at his encouragement.
Mang Lie glanced at Mo Yu before speaking again. "One of the things we came to the Divine Beast Origin for is this Blood Spirit Mud.
"However, even in this place, it's quite rare and usually comes in small quantities. We were lucky that Yu'er managed to find some earlier—otherwise, there wouldn't have been enough for the four of us to share."
Mo Yu nodded, giving Mang Yu another appreciative nod before licking his lips. His desire for the Blood Spirit Mud had grown.
If he could obtain more, he might be able to significantly strengthen his physical body, which would be a huge help in reaching the Small Accomplishment stage of the Force Ape Body.
"If we get closer to the Divine Beast Origin, there should be even larger meteors than the one we're on. If we're lucky, we might find more Blood Spirit Mud," Cai Lin said with a smile, as if she could sense Mo Yu's growing anticipation.
Hearing this, Cai Lin, Mang Lie, and Mang Yu all sat down cross-legged, ceasing further conversation. They let the massive rock they were riding on continue to carry them through the dark void at high speed, shooting toward the depths of the unknown.
Mo Yu also sat cross-legged to the side, remaining silent. His sharp eyes, glinting with intelligence, were fixed on the distant darkness, ready to spot any incoming meteors at a moment's notice.
After experiencing the benefits of the Divine Beast Origin firsthand, Mo Yu felt even more eager about this expedition.
They hadn't even reached their destination yet, and they'd already come across something as valuable as Blood Spirit Mud. Who knew what kinds of treasures awaited them once they truly arrived?
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's anticipation grew. Surpassing his true body, which possessed the Heavenly Thunder Body, was extremely difficult, but if he didn't try, how would he ever know if it was possible?
If his physical body could surpass the strength of his true body cultivating thunder path, perhaps he could experience what it was like to wield such power himself.
In the pitch-black void, a meteor streaked past at an astonishing speed.
Despite its velocity, it made no sound, leaving the entire space eerily silent, devoid of life.
On the meteor, Mo Yu and his three companions sat quietly, meditating.
The meteor they were on was not the same one they'd started with. During their journey, they had swapped to four different "meteor mounts."
However, much to Mo Yu's disappointment, they hadn't found any more Blood Spirit Mud on the previous three meteors. Just as Mang Lie had said, Mang Yu's earlier find had been nothing more than pure luck.
"Based on our timing, we should be just half a day away from reaching the Divine Beast Origin," Mang Lie said, opening his eyes and gazing into the distant darkness.
Mo Yu nodded but kept his eyes locked on the surroundings, scanning for any incoming meteors.
Seeing his focused expression, Mang Yu giggled and said, "Brother Mo Yu, don't worry. As we get closer, there will be more meteors. I'm sure we'll find something worthwhile soon."
Mo Yu smiled and nodded, slowly gathering his focus.
The meteor carried the four of them, slicing through the void at an incredible speed. They no longer switched to another meteor because this one was their final ride.
Time passed swiftly in the dark void.
Then, suddenly, Mo Yu opened his tightly shut eyes. He lifted his head slightly and looked toward his left.
The darkness in that direction seemed to ripple for a moment. A few seconds later, several meteors streaked across the void one after another, heading off into the distance.
Mo Yu's eyes gleamed with sharp focus as he stared at them, carefully examining each one. However, after a brief moment, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
There was no Blood Spirit Mud on those meteors.
Fortunately, as time passed, the once-dead silence of the void became livelier.
More and more meteors began appearing, shooting past from all directions.
At this moment, Mo Yu, Cai Lin, Mang Lie, and Mang Yu could no longer sit still. They began scanning the meteors one after another, using their spiritual power to carefully sense any traces of blood energy hidden within them.
Through this relentless search, Mo Yu finally made a discovery.
It was a gray-black meteor, roughly a hundred meters in size. While not particularly large, Mo Yu keenly sensed faint traces of blood energy emanating from within.
That was the scent of Blood Spirit Mud!
Without hesitation, Mo Yu struck.
Like a spiritual ape swinging its arm, he launched a fist into the distance.
A devastating force surged forth, instantly shattering the hundred-meter meteor into countless fragments. Amidst the exploding debris, a streak of blood-colored light shot out.
Mo Yu curled his fingers slightly, and a powerful suction force erupted from his palm.
The blood-colored light was immediately pulled toward him, landing firmly in his hand.
Opening his palm, Mo Yu saw a small lump of blood-colored mud, about the size of a baby's fist.
A rich, potent aura of blood energy radiated from it.
It was the Blood Spirit Mud that Mo Yu had long coveted.
