Seven days later.
Sun Moon Empire, Sunset City.
This is an ordinary city in the Sun Moon Empire.
Bai Zhou sat in a tavern, gazing at the bustling streets outside, feeling a mix of emotions.
He had to admit that the Sun Moon Empire was technologically advanced and widely adopted.
Tianhun, Douling, and Star Luo Because the Three Great Empires were dominated by Spirit Masters, the development of spirit tools was restricted in many ways. Even after thousands of years of development, spirit tools still only circulated among the nobility.
In addition, the deliberate suppression of the spread of spirit tools by higher authorities means that most ordinary people don't even know what a spirit tool is, let alone its widespread use.
Of course, with the help of spirit tools, the productivity of the people in the Sun Moon Empire was far higher than that of the Three Great Empires, and their quality of life was also generally higher.
Of course, this will not enhance the development of comprehensive national strength.
After all, this world is in the hands of a rare number of ' Spirit Masters '.
Whether for the Sun Moon Empire or the Three Great Empires, the strength of the Spirit Master is the most important factor and the sole indicator of a nation's prosperity.
"Evil Forest should be in the northwest of the Sun Moon Empire, which is a bit far…" Bai Zhou sighed softly.
His main objective this time was still to obtain the Spirit Ring.
The Evil Eye Tyrant clan in the Evil Forest is very suitable for him, since any Evil Eye Tyrant with a Spirit Bone is 100% head Spirit Bone, which greatly enhances mental force.
Most importantly...
The Evil Eye Tyrant clan may be troublesome to others, but to Bai Zhou, they pose no threat whatsoever!
Since most of Evil Eye Tyrant's attacks are mental force attacks, Bai Zhou's mental force is now almost at the level of Super Douluo, making him completely immune.
Huo Yuhao, at level 70, relied on his powerful mental force and the Spirit Bone and Spirit Ability bestowed upon him by Wang Qiu'er, along with the legendary "Si Dong Fist, Thoughts Flow Like a Spring," to kill the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant with a single punch.
Bai Zhou is now level 70, and his mental strength is several times stronger than that of Huo Yuhao, who was level 70 in the original owner's body. He should be more than capable of instantly killing a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.
However, Evil Forest is quite far from here, and since he's unfamiliar with the area and was illegally imported, he doesn't dare use his flying spirit tool to fly around, lest he be wanted by the police...
The Sun Moon Empire's defenses are much stricter than those of the Three Great Empires, especially regarding unfamiliar Spirit Masters, who are easily suspected of being "spies" of the Three Great Empires.
Although Bai Zhou was confident in his ability to protect himself, being wanted by the police was still a very troublesome matter.
Suddenly, my Microcard vibrated, and a voice message came through:
[Orange: Xiao Bai, did you come to Sun Moon Empire?]
Ju Zi's words were tinged with obvious surprise.
[Hey, how did you know Dao?] Bai Zhou was a little confused. He had only mentioned his trip to the Sun Moon Empire to Xian Liner and hadn't told anyone else.
Could it be...
Bai Zhou suddenly thought of something.
Because he entered the Sun Moon Empire, the message delay when chatting with Orange was reduced by almost 90%, and the interval between messages was naturally much faster.
Bai Zhou didn't pay much attention to this, but Ju Zi probably noticed it and that's why she made the judgment.
[Orange: Hmph, you little rascal, you came to the Sun Moon Empire without telling me. You didn't sneak in, did you?] Orange snorted softly, her tone carrying a hint of resentment, and, well, a hint of suspicion.
Bai Zhou stubbornly retorted: [How could that be? I came via a caravan, I have legitimate status, it's all legal and perfectly legitimate. Don't you dare slander me!]
[Orange: Okay, okay, I know. The Sun Moon Empire is very strict about monitoring illegal immigrants. Don't get caught. If you do... contact me, and I'll get you out.]
Clearly, Orange was quite certain that Bai Zhou had come illegally.
[ Bai Zhou:...]
[Orange: Hehehe~ Okay, okay~ I was just kidding.]
[For illegal immigrants, as long as they don't cause trouble, the Sun Moon Empire won't really do anything to them. At most, they'll find them and send them back to their home country. But if you really encounter any difficulties, be sure to come to me.]
Although Orange's words were very sincere, she actually still hoped that Bai Zhou would be caught...
This way, Bai Zhou would have to ask her for help and owe her a favor, making it easier to bring Bai Zhou into the Sun Moon Empire's camp in the future.
[ Bai Zhou: Thank you. I'll come visit you at Ming Capital after I'm done with my work.]
Bai Zhou was naturally unaware of Dao Ju Zi's thoughts, so he still expressed his gratitude very sincerely.
Of course, even if Bai Zhou knew, he wouldn't be offended; on the contrary, he would be extremely happy.
If he can legally join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he will have a legitimate identity in the Sun Moon Empire, which will make things easier for him.
...
...
Seven days later.
Bai Zhou finally arrived at the Evil Forest.
The reason it took so long was mainly because we were unfamiliar with the area and it was easy to lose our way.
Furthermore, being in a foreign country, he couldn't fly recklessly for fear of being wanted by the police.
After all, although Orange said it was nothing serious, that was for ordinary Spirit Masters.
He's a near- Spirit Saint at level 70.
The sudden appearance of such a mysterious and powerful figure within the Empire will naturally prompt the Sun Moon Empire to investigate thoroughly, and they might even issue a nationwide manhunt.
Although Bai Zhou was confident in his ability to protect himself, he also disliked trouble.
...
Upon entering the Evil Forest, one is immediately enveloped by a sinister aura that can easily evoke negative emotions.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou Mental force is strong enough to provide almost complete immunity.
Evil Forest is different from Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest. It seems to have been polluted by something. Although the Origin Qi in the air is rich, there are other things in it.
The Spirit Beasts that grow here are more ferocious and violent than those that grow in the Star Dou Great Forest, and of course, they are also stronger.
Star Dou Great Forest may contain some ordinary Spirit Beasts such as rabbits, cows, and horses, who dislike killing.
But the Spirit Beasts in this Evil Forest are basically all predators, killing each other, and it's a matter of who can survive to the end.
The moment Bai Zhou entered the Evil Forest, he felt countless malicious eyes watching him from the shadows.
However, predators are often highly perceptive.
Bai Zhou made no attempt to conceal his presence; the aura naturally emanating from him was undeniably powerful.
Even when facing enemies stronger than themselves, these predators will not act recklessly. They will wait for their prey to become exhausted or in danger before swarming in and tearing it apart.
It's really annoying...
Bai Zhou didn't quite like being stared at.
Then a thought flickered in his mind.
"Boom--"
An incredibly powerful mental shock swept over them instantly.
"Aww—"
"Waaaaah!!"
One Dao Dao's cry of pain rang out, and the predator hidden in the shadows was immediately dealt a heavy blow and turned to flee.
Some of the weaker ones were knocked unconscious by the onslaught.
Of course, Bai Zhou only slightly intimidated these century-old Spirit Beasts and did not kill them.
It's not because of Auspicious Beast or Hyotei, I just felt it was unnecessary.
After all, these Spirit Beasts only have a cultivation level of about a hundred years, so killing them would not bring any benefit.
Spirit Beasts are a non-renewable resource in this world, so such meaningless killing should be avoided if possible.
Of course, Bai Zhou would not hesitate to do so if he could gain some benefits.
