3 days later, Ye Mo opens his eyes. The reason is because the Bonus Pack for entering Qi Sa will be given to him today, so he stops cultivating to wait for it. Not long after, the System brought up the screen.
[Ding! Host has entered Qi Sa Realm and will be given a Bonus Pack due to a wish. The Bonus Pack is as follows: System Treasure Chest, Skill Evolution Coupon, Orb of Darkness, Devil Form Upgrade and 10000 points.]
"Whew~ Really nice. Another chest, a Skill Evolution Coupon, which is obviously what the name of it says, no clue what that Orb of Darkness is, but that Devil Form Upgrade, I guess it will make my Devil form stronger." Whistles Ye Mo in praise.
A small chest, a piece of paper, and a black orb all appear on the ground in front of him and be picks them up to analyze them.
[System Treasure Chest: A treasure chest created by the System. Opening will grant Host anything from Grade 1 to Grade 4.]
[Skill Evolution Coupon: Using this Coupon, Host can Evolve a random skill of his.(One Use Remaining.)]
[Orb of Darkness: If Host cultivates while holding this, his Darkness Element will increase in strength slowly.]
[Devil Form Upgrade: Host's Devil Form will be strengthened. Rather than 4 stages above, Host can now fight those 5 stages above him in Devil Form.]
"Oh~ Even though the evolution is random, this means I have a chance to upgrade a Divine skill too. Not that it's likely, though. The Orb of Darkness is really good, since Darkness is my main element, while Death is just a bonus. A whole stage increase in strength for my Devil Form is also nice." Grins Ye Mo while he brings up his status.

"My points went up a bit, which is nice. Well, lets use the Skill Upgrade Coupon and open the System Treasure Chest." Says Ye Mo.
Picking up the chest, Ye Mo clicks the small button and the chest opens, showing multiple colors. After a while, it stops on a green color, and a piece of paper comes out.
[Grade 3 Poison Orb: An Orb for people with Poison Element. Useless for Host.]
Shaking his head, Ye Mo places the Poison Orb in his storage ring with the Orb of Darkness and rips open the Skill Evolution Coupon. Multiple colors shine from the coupon, before settling on red, and a screen pops up.
[Ding! Host has used a Skill Evolution Coupon. Random skill chosen was Mysterious Steps(R). Mysterious Steps(R) will evolve.... Mysterious Steps(R) evolved to Devil Movement(E).]
"My movement skill evolved huh. Devil Movement, everything has to do with my Devil form, haha. It's an Epic skill now, rather than Rare, which is very nice. Let's try it out" Laughs Ye Mo.
Ye Mo activates Devil Movement and he can instantly feel that his speed tripled, while he can also turn his legs blurry just like with Mysterious Steps. When he stops using Devil Movement, he felt a small headache attack him, letting him know that it uses quite a bit of Mental Energy to use the skill.
Shaking his head to get rid of the headache, Ye Mo wonders what he should do now. After thinking for a while, he decides to enter the middle regions of the forest, since the inner regions will be too weak for him now, thanks to his Devil form.
"System, which direction will lead me to the middle regions of the forest? Ye Mo asks.
[Ding! Host has to move East to enter the Middle Regions of the Forest of Horrors.]
Using his Divine Sense to find East, Ye Mo starts running in that direction. Along the way a few beasts would approach him, but when he released a bit of his Devil Qi, they all scurried away in fear, letting him run peacefully.
After 6 hours of running, Ye Mo finally reached the middle regions. As if he passed through some invisible barrier, the Qi density here increased by 5 times that of the inner regions. A bit startled, Ye Mo asks the System what happened.
[Ding! There is a barrier created by a strong cultivator around the middle regions. Beasts from the middle regions can't leave the middle regions, and beasts from the inner regions can't enter the middle regions. Humans can freely enter and exit. The barrier increases the Qi density by 5 times. It was created for unknown reasons.]
Sighing to himself, Ye Mo looks around with his Divine Sense to see the strength of beasts nearby. He spots a few beasts, and their cultivation were all around Qi Mu Stage 5-7. Since they are near the barrier, this let's him know they are some of the weakest beasts in the middle regions, so he gets a bit excited.
Since even the weakest beasts are this strong, then how about the strongest beasts? Would they be at the peak of Qi Sa? Possibly even at Qi Pa? Grinning happily, Ye Mo runs towards a Qi Mu Stage 6 beast.
A few minutes later he reaches a small cave, where the beast is at. Walking in the cave without hiding himself, Ye Mo grins to himself when he feels the beast release it's energy to pressure him into leaving. Laughing at it's foolishness, Ye Mo speeds up and reaches the beast in no time.
[Qi Mu Stage 6 Two Headed Snake.]
Looking at the 50 feet long snake, Ye Mo grins while taking out his Divine Devil sword, and rushes at the beast. He uses Stab Burst and Lighting Slash when he is within range and his sword leaves a cut on the snake who was too slow to dodge.
It hisses loudly and spits out two balls of poison, similar to snake that nearly killed him before. Snorting at the poison, Ye Mo uses Devil Movement and appears above it with the speed boost. He stabs his lighting coated sword into left head of the snake, cutting it off.
The snake starts shaking crazily while trying to knock Ye Mo off, who just laughs evilly and cuts off the other head. The snake moves a little bit, but Ye Mo kills it by stabbing his sword into it's heart. After killing it, he jumps off the snake and cuts open both heads of the snake, getting 2 Inner Cores.
[Ding! Host has killed Qi Mu Stage 6 Two Headed Snake. gained 2000 points.]
[Ding! Host has sold two Qi Mu Stage 6 Inner Cores for 5000 points.]
After gaining an easy 7000 points, Ye Mo leaves the small cave and uses his Divine Sense to look for a Cleansing Lake. After a few minutes, Ye Mo reaches a Cleansing Lake that is 3 times the size of the others he stayed at before.
Finally being able to take a bath after months, Ye Mo soaked in the lake for a few hours before he got out. After dressing himself, he checks his status.

"How many points do I need to upgrade the System to level 4?" Asks Ye Mo
[Ding! Host spent 30000 points to upgrade System to Level 3. The cost increases by 4 times, so Host needs 120000 points to upgrade System to Level 4.]
"120000 points... That might take a while. I need just under 90000 points, huh." Ye Mo sighs.
Ye Mo decides to just cultivate for now. He sits down beside the lake and starts using Death Mantra to gather Qi towards himself. Just before he began, he took another Grade 6 Qi Gathering Pill, increasing the gathering by another 70%.
The Qi from everywhere but the lake nearby started gathering to his black/red core in both his dantian and Soul Space, nourishing them.
