"Mhm, but we need to be careful. This place has many powerful experts!" Yun Aotian nodded in agreement.
Even though their cultivation had reached the Half-step Nascent Soul realm, they were still in grave danger facing Nascent Soul realm experts.
This was because their bodies did not possess the strength to withstand such power.
If they encountered a Nascent Soul expert, they could potentially perish.
Moreover, they could be instantly killed in a single move.
Their current strength was equivalent to that of ordinary martial artists at the Martial Emperor realm.
"Father, I've discovered many spiritual herbs here. However, the resources in this area are very scarce. I'm afraid these spiritual herbs are already occupied by other forces," Yun Ling said with a giggle.
Upon hearing Yun Ling's words, Yun Aotian's expression flickered slightly before he burst into hearty laughter.
Yun Ling's meaning was clear: she was telling Yun Aotian that the spiritual herbs here were already controlled by some powerful factions.
"Hahaha, Ling'er, your father had already guessed as much," Yun Aotian laughed heartily after hearing Yun Ling's words.
Yun Ling and Yun Aotian had been in this continent for some time, and they understood the situation here very well.
The most powerful forces on this continent were the Five Great Sacred Lands.
Their strength was undoubtedly among the top five on this continent.
Furthermore, they had encountered various fortuitous encounters. Therefore, to them, this place was merely a wasteland. The resources here were certainly not valuable, and their strength on this continent was not insignificant. Otherwise, they would not have possessed such a mountain range.
This was also one of the reasons they chose this place as their hiding spot. On this continent, experts were as numerous as clouds. If they did not choose a secluded place to hide, they might not even have a chance to survive.
This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, a world that revered power.
"Father, although there aren't many resources here, we can try to gather some now. When we are stronger in the future, we can then collect the resources here!" Yun Ling chuckled and transmitted her voice to Yun Aotian.
"Mhm, Ling'er is right. This place is indeed not suitable for us," Yun Aotian nodded slightly.
"Alright, let's set off now," Yun Ling said.
"Mhm!"
Immediately, Yun Ling and Yun Aotian walked towards a giant cave in the distance.
"Swish swish swish!"
Just as they were about to enter the valley, several figures suddenly streaked past them from behind.
These figures were extremely fast, but they could not escape Yun Ling's perception.
At this moment, Yun Ling sensed that there were many spiritual beasts present in the valley.
Although the spiritual energy was not very strong, it was still relatively dense.
Therefore, Yun Ling wanted to take this opportunity to search for the resources in the valley.
While the spiritual energy in this valley was somewhat low, not all places had high-level spiritual beasts, let alone rare ones.
Without hesitation, Yun Ling and Yun Aotian rushed towards the depths of the valley.
"Roar~"
As Yun Ling and the others plunged into the depths of the valley, preparing to search for resources, a startled cry erupted, followed by a strong smell of blood that assailed their nostrils.
The scent of blood was intensely pungent, causing Yun Ling and Yun Aotian to frown. They cursed inwardly, "What bad luck, to encounter such a terrible environment."
"But there's nothing we can do. We still need to pick these spiritual herbs first!" Yun Ling's lips twitched, revealing a hint of distress.
Yun Ling and Yun Aotian quickened their pace, intending to harvest all the spiritual herbs.
However, the moment they stepped further in, hundreds of spiritual beasts rushed out from all directions.
These spiritual beasts were enormous, each looking fierce and menacing. They did not appear to be ordinary spiritual beasts, but rather ferocious ones.
Moreover, the strength of these spiritual beasts was equivalent to peak Martial Emperor realm experts, and some were even at the Martial Lord realm.
This caused Yun Ling to widen her eyes in shock, a terrifying glint flashing in her gaze.
"Ling'er, be careful!" Yun Aotian quickly reminded her.
"Mhm!" Yun Ling nodded and then charged towards the horde of spiritual beasts.
She could not just sit idly by. These spiritual beasts were coveting their resources, so they had to eliminate them.
"Roar roar roar~" Seeing Yun Ling dare to attack them, these spiritual beasts roared in fury, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they lunged towards Yun Ling.
Yun Ling leaped, weaving through the encirclement of these spiritual beasts.
Yun Aotian followed closely beside Yun Ling, attacking the spiritual beasts together.
"Boom!"
"Pfft!" The combined might of Yun Ling and Yun Aotian, carrying an unparalleled force, slammed heavily into the bodies of these spiritual beasts.
"Crack!" The sound of breaking bones echoed through the forest as these spiritual beasts were utterly annihilated by Yun Ling and Yun Aotian.
"Huff huff huff!" Yun Ling gasped for breath, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Ling'er, these are peak first-tier spiritual beasts. You should be able to absorb them, right?" Yun Aotian observed Yun Ling's demeanor and knew her gains must have been considerable.
Yun Ling nodded, "Yes, probably."
Then, she took out the dark stone box. With a wave of her hand, the dark stone box flew out, instantly transforming into a large bowl in mid-air.
This large bowl emitted a strong black radiance and a terrifying pressure, as if it could suppress the entire world.
"Whoosh!" Yun Ling waved her hand, and the black large bowl rapidly expanded, becoming thousands of feet long and wide in the blink of an eye. A dark light enveloped the entire valley.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
This black large bowl exuded an incredibly potent attractive force.
Under Yun Ling's control, this black radiance began to voraciously absorb the spiritual energy within the valley.
