Hou Niao finally entered, after waiting for several hours, through the back door left by the Nineteenth Aunt into the Altar Cave Heaven.

It's hard to say exactly what the mechanism is among them, but it's definitely not a normal path. Perhaps there's an unspeakable tacit understanding between the peacock clan as ancient beings and such ancient existences as the cave spirits, or perhaps it's the chaos caused by the Wu Sect cultivators entering the cave heaven.

For acquired spirit treasures like the altar cave spirit, their way of solving problems follows a certain pattern, such as not breaking the bottom line; for instance, when chaos arises, let the chaos deepen further, and perhaps then the key to solving the problem can be found.

Anyway, Hou Niao came in, and even in the most basic initial mental space, he immediately felt his spiritual power uncontrollably dispersing, as if his sea of consciousness had become a sieve, leaking air everywhere.

As it leaked, new spiritual power replenished, reflecting and refracting to become stronger. This process gradually opened his sea of consciousness in expansion and contraction...

The wonder of the creator, indeed lies here.

To be honest, his main reason for coming here was to experience the continent's renowned holy land for mental strength training. Among the most famous cave heavens on the continent, this altar cave heaven of the original Wu Sect matches best with the Sword Sect; other so-called Dao Realm comprehensions, artifact cultivation, and cultivation increase seem somewhat elusive and impractical.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have been able to enter this wondrous mental cave heaven. In the future, when the struggle between the Wu Sect and Lian Sect has concluded, opportunities will become even scarcer.

His Sword Light Division has yet to break through a thousand paths, stuck on spiritual power; so this adventure was first for himself, and secondly for the Sword Sect, and there is nothing to be ashamed of in admitting that.

According to their plan, he didn't have much chance to personally act, but as the execution progressed, problems kept arising. Given his character, how could he stand by idly? In his two hundred years of cultivation, every major breakthrough had been fought for with his life.

He relaxed his spirit, feeling his spiritual power strengthen through external and internal circulation. For a Sword Cultivator accustomed to Sword Light Division, spiritual division is essentially the division of sword light, and re-merging is unification sword, perfectly tailored, as if made for a Sword Cultivator.

However, if truly integrated into the Sword Sect, there are also significant risks; how many Sword Cultivators entering could come out alive?

After all, they aren't Heartless Dao, unable to engage in emotionless slaughter among themselves; while they can cultivate elite Sword Cultivators, they would also lose much of their foundational strength, an unsolvable problem.

After much contemplation, he spent only several hours completing the first stage of mental enhancement, without hesitation activating his spiritual power, waiting for the next space.

He wasn't kept waiting long; just a few moments later, the altar space twisted, and across from him appeared a Heartless Dao cultivator, in a somewhat bewildered state, seemingly at a loss?

Without caring much, he unleashed his flying sword, striking with the force of thunder, slicing the opponent into... nothingness?

What happened? Didn't kill him?

He immediately realized that the opponent must have offered some treasure, so the cave spirit intervened, and it's even possible that this person was the treasure bearer found by Fang Yazi; but this matter couldn't be delved into, nor should it be.

Reap the benefits first and talk later.

This time in the altar space, spiritual power exchange reached forty percent. The higher the exchange ratio, the higher the requirements for the cultivator's control over spiritual power, an indispensable cultivation that must not be overlooked; it can be imagined that when spiritual power exchange exceeds fifty percent, surpassing half of all the cultivator's spiritual power, that is the truly dangerous moment.

But for him, these scenarios weren't unfamiliar. Decades of Sword Light Division almost drove him to the brink of spiritual schizophrenia, with a somewhat adept feeling.

A day later, spiritual power inflow and outflow balanced, and his gains were already quite significant, with a forty percent surge in spiritual power; but this wasn't his ultimate goal. Precisely because he knew how difficult it is to increase spiritual power through normal cultivation, he seized the opportunity to exploit it to the fullest.

This mindset was almost shared by every cultivator entering; when greed is needed, one must be greedy, that is the true nature of a cultivator.

The next one, isn't it the Third Space, which can enhance spiritual power by fifty percent?

......

Guofen Zhi started channeling energy with high spirits, as one of the more than twenty Golden Cores entering from Heartless Dao this time, his strength was securely in the top three among these brothers, excluding the uncompetitive Lao Du and the three masters, he was basically invincible here.

So, the so-called Altar Cave Heaven is essentially prepared for the elite, with others merely as stepping stones; not understanding this point, charging hare-brained in would have no second outcome but death, of course, voluntary exit is different, but it would lose the dao heart of cultivation because one retreated in the face of difficulties.

In the Second Space, he killed a brother, not hesitating even when this brother was full of begging eyes; if he didn't act, both sides would end in a draw, and they would both be kicked out of cave heaven when time runs out, why should he?

His target was at least the Fifth Level, Sixth Level altar space, not about the opponent, but whether he can smoothly enhance his spiritual power; spiritual exchange exceeding fifty percent is very dangerous, and he couldn't guarantee he could achieve it. It's said since the normal use of the Altar Cave Heaven, only Lao Du has managed to clear all seven spaces, others like those Nascent Soul masters only managed around five or six stages.

Here, it's not about having a higher realm being advantageous, quite the contrary, because with a high realm and strong spiritual power, a master's fifty percent and a Golden Core's fifty percent have great differences in absolute value, making spiritual power growth even harder, that's another matter.

Everything was within expectations, he liked the feeling of being in control.

The altar flipped, and in his sight appeared a Daoist, startling him!

This was an unfamiliar Daoist, how could it be? All cultivators participating in this trial were from Heartless Dao, he knew and was familiar with every one of them, how could there be a new face?

Realizing something was wrong, he shouted, "Who goes there! Sneaking around, how dare you trespass into the Heartless Dao cave heaven?"

The Daoist chuckled, "Heartless Dao's cave heaven? This is the first time I've seen a bandit so openly and righteously taking over."

With a wave of his hand, a golden light flashed, with a hidden roar of a flood dragon within.

Guofen Zhi, prepared early for something amiss, immediately drew out his strongest technique, his form vanished into a white silk glow, precisely one of the Heartless Dao's ultimate skills, Heartless Silk, intricately layered.

However, the golden light was utterly domineering, disregarding anything, the two flood dragons within the golden light combined and cleaved, cutting Guofen Zhi's Heartless Silk and body into two halves.

"I am from Wu Sect, put like this, you should also understand my intention, right?"
