Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

North Spiritual Realm, Mu Territory.

Within a courtyard, a handsome young man sat cross-legged on a blue stone, holding his breath and focusing his energy.

Between his palms, several spiritual seals flickered with a faint light.

The young man's name was Mu Chen, the son of Mu Feng, the Lord of Mu Territory in the North Spiritual Realm.

He was once fortunate enough to be selected to enter the Spiritual Road, but because he single-handedly created the "Spiritual Road Bloodbath," which resulted in too many deaths, he was expelled.

The young man also lost an opportunity to enter one of the "Five Great Academies," causing many to sigh in regret.

The Great Thousand World is vast and boundless, and the North Spiritual Realm is just a remote small place.

The Lord of Mu Territory may seem to control a territory, but in the eyes of those truly great figures, he is no different from an ant on the roadside.

For these small forces without ancient heritage, sending their children to academies is a good choice.

The North Spiritual Realm has nine territories, and besides the nine territories, there is another force that cannot be ignored, which is the North Spiritual Academy.

The North Spiritual Academy has a detached status within the North Spiritual Realm, and even the lords of each territory cannot afford to offend it.

They send their eligible children to the North Spiritual Academy to cultivate, with the biggest goal being to hope that their children can obtain the quota to enter the "Five Great Academies" that the North Spiritual Academy possesses.

Therefore, being expelled from the Spiritual Road and losing the opportunity to enter the "Five Great Academies" would be a considerable blow to anyone else.

"Alas, why was Young Master expelled from the Spiritual Road?"

"Shhh… don't talk about this.

Although Young Master says he doesn't care on the surface, who knows what he's thinking inside?

If we're caught gossiping, we won't have a good time."

Two guards whispered to each other.

Mu Chen was not discouraged, or rather, he was mentally prepared for the punishment before he did that thing on the Spiritual Road, but he still did it.

He had no regrets about it.

It was just losing an opportunity, losing the chance to be initiated by the Spiritual Road.

Entering the "Five Great Academies" is not just through the Spiritual Road.

If it happened again, he would still do it.

The image of the girl as beautiful as a person walking out of a painting appeared in his mind, and Mu Chen clenched his fist unconsciously as he recalled their farewell.

North Cang Spiritual Academy… I will definitely go!

"Xiao Mu, come with me, your father wants you to go to the council hall."

A slightly rough voice rang out.

"Okay."

Mu Chen ended his spiritual array practice and stood up.

When he arrived at the council hall, he saw the five city lords of Mu Territory and slightly cupped his hands as a greeting.

"Young Master."

The five also cupped their hands and smiled.

Mu Feng pressed his hand down, and the hall immediately quieted down: "According to the information reported by the scouts, Liu Territory has already set off for the Black Underworld Abyss, and we also need to take action."

Liu Territory was also one of the nine territories in the North Spiritual Realm, and the Lord of Liu Territory, Liu Qingtian, had never been on good terms with Mu Feng.

"Black Underworld Abyss…"

A city lord frowned: "What are they doing there?"

Mu Feng glanced at Mu Chen and said: "This matter is thanks to Xiao Mu, he killed Xue Tu, who was being chased by Liu Territory, in the North Spiritual Plain and obtained this thing."

As he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze fragment and injected his majestic spiritual power into it.

A beam of light bloomed from the bronze fragment, forming a light curtain in mid-air.

Within the light curtain, in a treacherous mountain forest, a black giant bird cried out to the sky, and a sky-covering black flame spread.

The giant bird seemed to be seriously injured for unknown reasons, and quickly shrunk in the flames, turning into a giant egg and swept into the depths of the mountain forest.

"This is… a Nine Nether Sparrow?"

Although it was only an image, everyone present could feel the boundless power emanating from the black giant bird.

"The people from Liu Territory actually set their sights on it?"

In the mainstream cultivation system of the human race in the Great Thousand World, it is divided into the Sensing Realm, Spiritual Movement Realm, Spiritual Wheel Realm, Divine Soul Realm, Three Heavens Realm, Supreme Realm, etc.

Among them, the super spirit beasts on the Heaven Ranking are also called divine beasts, and even those giants who truly dominate one side dare not provoke them at will.

It is said that a hundred years ago, the Ten Thousand Beasts Record had a change, and a mysterious race called the "Spirit Devouring Insect" jumped from obscurity to become the first on the Heaven Ranking, a terrifying existence that made countless powerhouses change color.

Although the Nine Nether Sparrow cannot be compared with such existences, it is not easy to provoke.

It ranks eleventh on the Earth Ranking, and if it has enough opportunities, it can even evolve its bloodline and jump to become the famous divine beast Nine Nether Phoenix on the Heaven Ranking.

Mu Feng smiled: "If it were the Nine Nether Sparrow in its heyday, Liu Territory would naturally not dare to act, but now that it is seriously injured and only has an egg left, then there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhou Ye, Mu Feng's right-hand man, said: "We must not let Liu Territory get the Nine Nether Sparrow, otherwise, it will be a huge threat to us."

Mu Feng nodded, his eyes sweeping over them:

"This matter is of great importance.

I will personally lead the team with Zhou Ye, you two will guard Mu Territory, and the other three will also go with us.

Even if we can't get the Nine Nether Sparrow, we can't let Liu Territory's plan succeed."

After gathering his men, the group immediately set off and headed towards the Black Underworld Abyss, the location shown in the image.

The Black Underworld Abyss is located in the southern part of the North Spiritual Realm, with a dangerous environment, treacherous terrain, and many powerful magical beasts living there, making it a place rarely visited by people.

This place is a distance away from Mu Territory, and by the time Mu Feng and the others arrived at the Black Underworld Abyss, it was already three days later.

Mu Chen also participated in this operation.

A primeval forest that seemed to have no end presented a dark color, and gray miasma filled the black forest.

Even before truly entering, one could feel the strong aura of death and a kind of stench from the Black Underworld Abyss.

"The people from Liu Territory should have arrived, but they are not in the same direction as us.

Be vigilant, they know that the bronze fragment has fallen into our hands, and if we meet them inside, they will definitely play dirty tricks."

Mu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Heh, I've long been displeased with the scum of Liu Territory, it's just right to kill them."

Zhou Ye grinned.

Mu Feng first distributed a detoxification pill to everyone, and then waved his hand: "Let's go."

Nearly a hundred good hands selected from Mu Territory entered the forest under the leadership of Mu Feng.

Their speed was not slow, but they were silent, showing a high level of combat literacy.

The light suddenly dimmed, and a cold feeling came from all directions.

It seemed that countless gazes were cast in the air, making people unable to help but stand on end.

Mu Chen's eyes vigilantly scanned the dark environment around him, appearing somewhat uneasy.

He always felt that someone was watching him.
