Having searched for a good half year, Little Lotus and Poppy had seen every single spirit that appeared outside the three Serene Spirit Towers but they still had not seen any spirit that looked similar to Jun Gu, the news causing Jun Wu Xie to feel a tinge of despair.
The time that Jun Wu would have come to the Spirit World would not have been that long ago as ten years’ time in the Spirit World was as fleeting as a snap of one’s fingers.
Jun Wu Xie then could not help but start to think whether Jun Gu had already gone to the Serene Spirit Tower and have his spirit soul sacrificed to the Spirit Fire. That was an answer that only Wu Jiu would be able to provide as all spirit that had attained extremely high powers in the Serene Spirit Tower and were absorbed by the Spirit Fire would have gained Wu Jiu’s favour before they were absorbed, becoming Wu Jiu’s direct disciple. To know whether Jun Gu had been sacrificed, Wu Jiu was the only person Jun Wu Xie could ask.
“Little Xie? What is on your mind? You look like you have a lot on your mind.” Qiao Chu asked when he saw Jun Wu Xie’s perturbed face, and he could not help but to wave his hand before Jun Wu Xie’s eyes.
Jun Wu Xie snapped back to her senses and shook her head slightly to say: “It’s nothing. Just that there is a strange feeling in my chest.”

Jun Wu Xie lowered her head to look down at her chest, where she seemed to feel a certain kind of power stirring inside. That feeling was a little familiar, but at the same time strange. Although a little discomfiting, but it wasn’t really agonizing. She did not feel any abnormality in her soul, and concluded that it could be due to her having cultivated too intensely recently, not wanting to think too much into it.
The feeling of having regained power was just great and Qiao Chu and the others were excited to show off their new strength. It must be known that ever since they had come into the Spirit World, their weak and insignificant powers had been highly unbearable. Now that they have gained powers once again, these hot blooded and exuberant youths could not help but anticipate being able to exhibit their skills, and Jun Wu Xie going to the first Serene Spirit Tower would give them the best opportunity to do that.
“Jiang Yun Long seemed to have relaxed on his search for you. Do you think they are pursuing other motives?” Rong Ruo asked as she looked at Jun Wu Xie.
From the news that Little Lotus and Poppy had brought, they came to know that the portraits of Jun Wu Xie that had been pasted everywhere had been taken down and Jiang Yun Long had reduced a large part of the spirits tasked with finding Jun Wu Xie. It would seem like they have finally given up on pursuing Jun Wu Xie. Similarly, they had still not located Nalan Shan and Brownie so their sudden silence had not only not made Rong Ruo and the others relax their guard but had instead made them suspect whether Jiang Yun Long and Wu Jiu had made new plans.
“Regardless what they plan to do, we will still destroy them! They dared to persecute Little Xie! They must be tired of living!” Qiao Chu harrumphed indignantly. Having known Jun Wu Xie for so long, no matter where they were, Jun Wu Xie had never fallen into a situation where she wanted as a fugitive, and Jiang Yun Long had set a new precedent.
Jun Wu Xie had wanted to say something but the strange feeling in her chest grew more and more intense. From a slight discomfort to gradually grow into a stinging pain. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her body then started trembling uncontrollably.
Qiao Chu and the other companions noticed Jun Wu Xie’s abnormality and they immediately halted their conversation, to looked at Jun Wu Xie anxiously as the colour on her face continued to worsen.
“Little Xie, what’s wrong?” Qiao Chu was so worried his palms were sweating, seeing Jun Wu Xie in such a condition but did not dare to touch her carelessly, afraid that he would inflict greater harm upon her.
It was so painful Jun Wu Xie could not even speak. She was feeling as if something was about to surge out from inside her chest, hard to imagine that such a kind of swelling and tearing pain she was feeling would manifest upon a spirit body.
A tall slender figure suddenly descended from up among the trees, and scooped Jun Wu Xie right into his arms.
Qiao Chu and the others stared in shock at the person who had suddenly appeared. Until they saw Jun Wu Yao’s familiar contenance, they all then breathed out in relief.
Jun Wu Yao’s brows knitted together as he looked at Jun Wu Xie in his arms, seemingly able to feel her pain from seeing Jun Wu Xie’s body that was shaking uncontrollably. His hands were constantly sending his devil spirit into Jun Wu Xie’s body, seeking to eradicate the agony, but with unnoticeable effect.
Jun Wu Xie had her teeth gritted tightly together, struggling to suppress the cry that threatened to come out of her mouth. Her tiny hand held Jun Wu Yao’s shirt collar in a death’s grip, trying to endure it with everything she had.
Suddenly, a streak of light shot out from Jun Wu Xie’s chest, the light flying up into midair before it fell to the ground in an instant. A blurry figure manifested within that light, and at the moment that the light faded away, a tall figure suddenly appeared before Qiao Chu and the others.
That manifestation caused Qiao Chu and the several companions to be completely stunned in place.
It was a tall figure, a man with a handsome countenance.

Long and thin vines twirled around the man’s wrists, blooms of purple flowers decorating the vines, and upon that handsome alluring face, was an expression showing a trace of shock and surprise.
“Poi….. Poison Ivy?” Qiao Chu rubbed his eyes, staring incredulously at the man walking out from the burst of light. That man was no one else but Poison Ivy that Qiao Chu and the others had met in the forest when they had first come into the Spirit World!
[Why had Poison Ivy jumped out from Little Xie’s chest?]
Qiao Chu and the others were properly stunned at that moment.
In the instant that the light had come out from her body, the agony had immediately disappeared from Jun Wu Xie’s body. Though her face was still pale, she no longer had to endure the pain from before. She sat up in Jun Wu Yao’s arms to stare at Poison Ivy whose face was filled with bewilderment.
“You…..” Poison Ivy stared at Jun Wu Xie, the face that had always been calm now filled with confusion.
Jun Wu Xie looked at Poison Ivy, her gaze similarly rather confused as well.
Poison Ivy then drew in a deep breath as he closed his eyes a moment before they opened. Under Qiao Chu’s and the companions’ speechless stares, Poison Ivy then abruptly fell onto one knee as he looked at Jun Wu Xie, and opened his mouth to say: “Poison Ivy greets his Mistress.”
“MISTRESS! ! !” Qiao Chu screamed out with pure and utter incredulity, his hands clawing at his own face, as he stared in shock at Poison Ivy.
[What the Hell!]
[What did he just hear! ?]
[Poison Ivy actually just addressed Jun Wu Xie as….. Mistress! ?]
[Isn’t that the form of address Little Lotus and Poppy use for Jun Wu Xie?]
[Why is Poison Ivy also…..]
An astounding thought that formed in Qiao Chu’s mind. His eyes grew wide, his gaze switching between Jun Wu Xie and Poison Ivy incessantly, his face looking like he had just seen a ghost.
“Things….. couldn’t possibly be like what I am imagining right?” The corners of Qiao Chu’s mouth twitched, his incredulous gaze then turning to look at Hua Yao standing right beside him.
Hua Yao had an equally stunned expression on his face, his conflicted gaze locked upon the figure of Poison Ivy, his reaction delayed for a long while before he looked at Qiao Chu to say: “I think….. What you are thinking should be correct.”
Qiao Chu’s
entire being then crumbled!
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes were tinged with surprise. Ever since the Spirit Tree’s seed had been placed in her body, and after she had absorbed the Devious Wyvern, she had gotten to know through Jun Wu Yao’s mouth that she would not only have just one lone Ring Spirit, and Poppy’s appearance had verified Jun Wu Yao’s deduction.
Jun Wu Xie had long prepared herself to welcome the arrival of more Ring Spirits, but…..
She would never ever have thought that after Poppy, the Ring Spirit that would be intricately linked to her would turn out to be….. Poison Ivy? !
“You’re my Ring Spirit?” Jun Wu Xie had been properly surprised by the facts before her eyes. She knew that her future Ring Spirits would definitely also be Plant Spirits but….. Poison Ivy….. She suddenly found it rather hard to imagine.
Poison Ivy then stood up and looked calmly at Jun Wu Xie. In truth, he had never thought that he would actually become Jun Wu Xie’s Ring Spirit. Afterall….. Didn’t Jun Wu Xie already have Little Lotus?
“Yes, my Mistress.” Poison Ivy’s voice regained its calm. Ring Spirits knew clearly where their sense of belonging was directed to. Even if his heart was highly astonished, but Poison Ivy could not deny the link in the consciousnesses of Jun Wu Xie’s and his.
This young lady before his eyes was definitely his Mistress.
“I think I need to calm myself down properly.” Qiao Chu mourned as he held Hua Yao’s shoulder, his other hand clutching at his chest looking like he had just suffered a great shock even though he had guessed that this would be the result. But hearing Poison Ivy saying it from the horse’s mouth, he still could not help but feel it incredibly outrageous.
Poison Ivy could be considered to be the only Plant Spirit they had come into contact with in the Spirit World and in the end….. he had actually become Jun Wu Xie’s third Ring Spirit!

Qiao Chu just felt his heart taking a strong hit deep inside!
Jun Wu Xie then regained her senses as she looked at Poison Ivy, seemingly trying to digest the news.
Poison Ivy had become highly calm and composed. If truth was to be told, although he did not think all that well of humans, Poison Ivy had to admit that he had a rather good impression of Jun Wu Xie, remembering the time when Jun Wu Xie was carrying the little black cat, the anxiety that showed in her eyes, the kind of deep worry that could not be feigned.
The little black cat was merely another spirit body and it did not look to be all that powerful. But even though that was the case, Jun Wu Xie was still seen to be so anxious for the little black cat. Maybe it was from that day onwards that Poison Ivy was destined to become Jun Wu Xie’s Ring Spirit.
“Mistress seems to have become a lot stronger.” Poison Ivy had already become Jun Wu Xie’s Ring Spirit and he was naturally acutely aware of Jun Wu Xie’s condition. From the level of power of the spirit Jun Wu Xie possessed, he could clearly feel that Jun Wu Xie had grown to become much more powerful compared to before. If not for the fact he knew the amount of time that had elapsed so clearly, Poison Ivy wouldn’t be able to believe that any spirit would be able to grow from a weak and frail new spirit to now reach a stage where she possessed the ability to execute a spirit outflare in just a matter of half a year’s time!
That’s right, now that Jun Wu Xie had stepped into the realm of executing a spirit outflare, looking at all the human spirits throughout the entire Spirit Realm, only four spirits had been able to achieve such a level. But Jun Wu Xie had now become the fifth person so easily and Poison Ivy had no choice but to change his opinion of his new contracted Mistress.
“Mm.” Jun Wu Xie said as she calmed her emotions. It was exactly because her spirit soul’s power had increased in strength that she was able to withstand the arrival of the third Ring Spirit, but the identity of the Ring Spirit….. had truly astounded her.
Just like how Poison Ivy felt, Jun Wu Xie did not feel that much against Poison Ivy as well.
Poison Ivy looked around himself and quickly realized that he was in the Tranquil Dream Forest. He lived just at the outer perimeters of the Tranquil Dream Forest and regarding the fact that Jun Wu Xie and her companions had returned to the Tranquil Dream Forest, he had noticed it but just had not bothered himself with it.
“Will Mistress be remaining here to continue with your cultivation?” Poison Ivy seemed to have quickly accepted the fact that he had become Jun Wu Xie’s Ring Spirit and in truth, he had long discovered that Jun Wu Xie was not a deceased spirit soul and that her flesh body was still living.
“We’ll stay here for a few more days before we will go to the first Serene Spirit Tower.” Jun Wu Xie said with a nod of her head.
Poison Ivy’s brows furrowed slightly. “That is not a suitable place for Mistress to go to.” As he spoke, Poison Ivy’s gaze then turned to fall upon the unconscious little black cat lying at the side.
Because Poison Ivy had become her Ring Spirit, Jun Wu Xie knew the kind of loyalty a Ring Spirit had for their Master and hence she did not need to hide anything from Poison Ivy. She told Poison Ivy everything about what she discovered in the Serene Spirit Tower and her intentions to destroy the first Serene Spirit Tower to save the little black cat.
Poison Ivy listened to everything silently but the creased brow did not relax in the slightest but to knit even more tightly together.
“The Serene Spirit Tower is really such a evil and sinister place.” Poison Ivy had felt that there was something wrong with the Serene Spirit Towers all this time but he had never thought that the Serene Spirit Tower would devour spirits. To the Spirit World, that piece of news was just devastating!
“Isn’t that just the truth! That Wu Jiu is just a heartless and maniacal demon! To think that he could make himself build such a terrifying place so passionately, and had even wanted to use the Spiritual Bear to complete the construction of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower! He’s absolutely just dreaming. He can just forget about capturing the Spiritual Bear for all his life!” When Wu Jiu and Jiang Yun Long were mentioned, a ball of rage just rose up in Qiao Chu. Because of the Yin Yang Bear, with Brownie being a bear spirit as well, Qiao Chu had come to like Brownie very much! ! !

“I think….. Wu Jiu’s plan is about to succeed soon.” Poison Ivy said suddenly.
“What do you mean?” Jun Wu Xie detected a something strange in Poison Ivy’s words.
Poison Ivy then told her about everything that had happened during the period that Jun Wu Xie was in cultivation.
Flame Dragon had seeked out Wu Jiu, and invited Poison Ivy and Soul Slayer to question Wu Jiu about the fourth Serene Spirit Tower. Wu Jiu had candidly answered everything and explained the reason for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, revealing that all of it had been the Spirit Lord’s idea.
Poison Ivy felt that Wu Jiu might have some ulterior motive and he did not go seek verification from the Spirit Lord, but left Flame Dragon with a warning. Flame Dragon trusted Poison Ivy and he did not go see the Spirit Lord.
But their choices did not represent Soul Slayer did the same.
Soul Slayer had rushed over to the Spirit Palace the next day and seek verification from the Spirit Lord on Wu Jiu’s words and the result he got was exactly like what Wu Jiu had said, that he had spoken the truth, where everything had indeed been the Spirit Lord idea.
Having acquired the Spirit Lord’s affirmation, Soul Slayer had then brought the news back to the Weapon Spirits and relayed it to every single Weapon Spirit, which caused the Weapon Spirits to boil over with excitement.
The power of the Serene Spirit Tower had made many among the spirit races to covet it since a long time ago. But as the place would bring harm upon non human
spirits, those spirits then had some misgivings about it. But after they came to know that the fourth Serene Spirit Tower could be modified according to the cultivation method of a specific spirit race, it immediately caused the blood of the Weapon Spirits to boil over, steeling their determination to fight for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower.
Although Flame Dragon did not go seek affirmation, and did not make a great deal out of the matter, back when Flame Dragon and the other leaders had met, outside the cave where Flame Dragon resided, every word exchanged in that meeting had been overheard by Beast Spirits nearby and they had spread it like wildfire among their race which led all the Beast Spirits to await eagerly the result after Flame Dragon went to seek affirmation from the Spirit Lord. But Flame Dragon had still not taken any action after so long while the result that Soul Slayer had gotten from the Spirit Lord had quickly spread out from the Weapon Spirits.
The Beast Spirits could not hold themselves back anymore. They only wanted to verify the authenticity of those words and they did not care who was the one who went to verify it.
With the feasibility of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower confirmed, the Weapon Spirits and the Beast Spirits embarked on an intense battle for it. Scuffles and clashes big and small broke out constantly between the two spirit races. Flame Dragon came out and suppressed it several times but could not quell the desire for power in the hearts of the Beast Spirits, unable to control the entire situation completely. In the end, even a few Plant Spirits were incited into restlessness and quite a number of them jumped into the fray as well.
