The one who survives would be the one who passes the trial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another True Disciple suggested a brutal possibility, causing almost everyone’s face to change drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after some time of contemplation, someone shook their head in refutation: \"It’s unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Master Han Yue is a Righteous Cultivator, which doesn’t align with her usual conduct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if she were to pick a successor, this method would select only the ruthless ones, unable to carry forward her True Inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone’s face gradually relaxed, and they calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to ancient texts, Master Han Yue possesses Ice, Fire, and Wood Three Elements Spiritual Roots. Could it be that those entering must possess these three Spirit Roots too?\" A clear voice rang out, offering a novel approach, causing many to fall into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes sense indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, our Sect Leader is a Yin Practitioner, and the Red Sun Sect Leader is a Fire Element Cultivator, explaining why so many have entered but none have come out yet.\" Another True Disciple nodded, expressing agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the combinations already formed at the scene began to communicate thoroughly, with some even swapping members on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Corpse-Driving Sect cultivators, although most possess Yin Spirit Roots, there are also many Dual Spiritual Root Cultivators, along with Five Elements Spirit Roots residing on Ten Thousand Dao Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By gathering and adjusting, perhaps all three Spirit Roots can be assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hesitating and fearing, how can one obtain the True Inheritance?\" As everyone hesitated, a disciple stepped out confidently from the crowd, declaring loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance was ordinary, but his demeanor was extremely confident, dressed in a deep blue Daoist Robe, revealing an aura only at the late-stage Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this person, many in the Corpse-Driving Sect changed their expressions, some even showing disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not mistaken, isn’t this Senior Brother Xie? How has his Cultivation regressed to the late-stage Qi Refining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Xie Zhiyu was stuck at the peak of late-stage Qi Refining for years, possibly he abolished his meridians for the inheritance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss... ruthless indeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of inhaling cold air rose among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abolishing meridians not only means wasted years of cultivation. More importantly, breaking through again would be much more difficult than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Zhiyu clearly came with the resolve that if he doesn’t succeed, he won’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, he ventured ahead without teaming up, seemingly confident in his Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through others’ conversation, Lou Yi learned about Xie Zhiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiu Shaojie emerged, he was the top talent of the Corpse-Driving Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But stuck at the peak of late-stage Qi Refining for many years without breaking through, elders once said he had gone astray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now abolishing his Cultivation clearly indicates lofty ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between the peak of late-stage Qi Refining and the Foundation Establishment Stage may seem small, but it’s akin to a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment Cultivators are deemed great in the Cultivation Realm, holding positions incomparable to the Qi Cultivation Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sect, they are respected elders enjoying vast offerings;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Mortal World, they can sustain the birth of a Cultivation family, revered as sect founders;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the court, they are treated as grand offerings, deserving respect from princes and princesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said, once those at the Qi Cultivation Stage break through to Foundation Establishment, their powers, identity, and status transform qualitatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xie Zhiyu entered a stone door, two clever minds from the Corpse-Driving Sect also swiftly followed, entering the cave he had just entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone door at that place immediately vanished into layers of white mist, never to be found again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xie Zhiyu leading the way, some teams began to move forward, no longer dragging their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had made a name in the sect gained more attention and discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Jiasheng, top-grade Spirit Root, claimed treasures among late-stage Qi Refining Red Sun Sect Cultivators and earned substantial rewards...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Jiaoxue, a woman of remarkable strength, possesses cross-tier combat prowess, once severely injuring a late-stage Qi Refining Red Sun Sect Cultivator one-on-one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sun Yufei, apprenticed under a Talisman Master of the sect, surely possesses numerous talismans, his combat strength unpredictable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Corpse-Driving Sect took action, Red Sun Sect disciples also moved vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, that one with the harsh appearance, named He Buyu, needs watching.

They call him Young Master Yun, doubtless needs attention, considering Red Sun Sect’s Sect Leader bears the surname Yun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Corpse-Driving Sect and Red Sun Sect disciples actively moved, another group slowly approached from afar, drawing more attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, seems like Yan Kingdom’s True Blood Sect is here!\" someone exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhao Kingdom’s Corpse-Driving Sect and Chu Kingdom’s Red Sun Sect cultivators couldn’t help but distance themselves, unwilling to approach these newcomers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi rarely saw True Blood Sect cultivators, so he carefully observed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed their radiant presence, skin exhibiting metallic, jade-like luster, occasional translucent runes flowing, and hair strands glimmering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the leading red-browed, red-haired youth, dazzling brilliantly, appearing akin to a Magic Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>true Blood Sect cultivaors, an uncommon Body Cultivator faction in the Cultivation Realm, require True Blood rarer than Spirit Roots for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Blood can autonomously absorb Spiritual Qi, refining the body like a Magic Treasure, granting incredible physical strength, making them nearly unbeatable in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Red Sun Sect’s audacious cultivators avoid approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi searched but didn’t find Shi Caifeng and his siblings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the slow progress in early-stage cultivation for body cultivators, it makes sense for them to focus on improving their Cultivation now, rather than risking recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After True Blood Sect cultivators joined, another unfamiliar team of cultivators approached steadily from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This team, dressed in old-fashioned gray-white long gowns, with stern expressions, remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front chest sections of their long gowns were embroidered with a coiled red snake, its mouth wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are the Li Family people here too?\" Bi Yaoyao raised an eyebrow upon seeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of power is the Li Family?\" asked Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Li Family, a major Cultivation family located in the East Sea Islands, interacts little with the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their largest island, named Red Flood Dragon Island, hence their attire is always adorned with a red flood dragon.\" Bi Yaoyao explained, \"The family is not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a lineage of thousands of years, the family has produced several Masters, the three major factions constantly seeking to win their favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Lou Yi’s gaze unconsciously fell on a silver-haired youth among the Li Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This individual seemed to receive particular attention within the group, indicating an extraordinary status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, sensing Lou Yi’s gaze, the silver-haired youth directly turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both their gazes met in the void, sparking as if igniting flames, making Lou Yi’s heart skip a beat in tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Such intense sensitivity...
