Upon hearing the surrounding discussions, Lou Yi couldn't help but frown.

This secret realm seems quite complex, with no one having successfully exited yet.

They might have died inside, or simply been trapped, unable to break free.

Either way, it makes the remaining people even more hesitant, each one reluctant to step forward.

"Has everyone considered why the stone door closes as long as three people enter?" A True Disciple from the Corpse-Driving Sect posed this question, prompting the rest to ponder deeply.

"Could it be that some trial inside requires three people to join forces?" Shu Jian thought for a moment, proposing this possibility.

"Or is it to have the three engage in a fight, akin to raising Gu insects? The one who survives would be the one who passes the trial?"

Another True Disciple suggested a brutal possibility, causing almost everyone's face to change drastically.

However, after some time of contemplation, someone shook their head in refutation: "It's unlikely.

First, Master Han Yue is a Righteous Cultivator, which doesn't align with her usual conduct.

Moreover, if she were to pick a successor, this method would select only the ruthless ones, unable to carry forward her True Inheritance."

Hearing this, everyone's face gradually relaxed, and they calmed down.

"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.

"This makes sense indeed.

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.

Upon hearing this, the combinations already formed at the scene began to communicate thoroughly, with some even swapping members on the spot.

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.

By gathering and adjusting, perhaps all three Spirit Roots can be assembled.

"Hesitating and fearing, how can one obtain the True Inheritance?" As everyone hesitated, a disciple stepped out confidently from the crowd, declaring loudly.

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.

Upon seeing this person, many in the Corpse-Driving Sect changed their expressions, some even showing disbelief.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Senior Brother Xie? How has his Cultivation regressed to the late-stage Qi Refining?"

"I heard Xie Zhiyu was stuck at the peak of late-stage Qi Refining for years, possibly he abolished his meridians for the inheritance?"

"Hiss… ruthless indeed!"

A burst of inhaling cold air rose among the crowd.

Abolishing meridians not only means wasted years of cultivation. More importantly, breaking through again would be much more difficult than before.

Xie Zhiyu clearly came with the resolve that if he doesn't succeed, he won't survive.

Furthermore, he ventured ahead without teaming up, seemingly confident in his Cultivation.

Through others' conversation, Lou Yi learned about Xie Zhiyu.

Before Qiu Shaojie emerged, he was the top talent of the Corpse-Driving Sect.

But stuck at the peak of late-stage Qi Refining for many years without breaking through, elders once said he had gone astray.

Now abolishing his Cultivation clearly indicates lofty ambitions.

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.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators are deemed great in the Cultivation Realm, holding positions incomparable to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

In the sect, they are respected elders enjoying vast offerings;

In the Mortal World, they can sustain the birth of a Cultivation family, revered as sect founders;

Even in the court, they are treated as grand offerings, deserving respect from princes and princesses.

It can be said, once those at the Qi Cultivation Stage break through to Foundation Establishment, their powers, identity, and status transform qualitatively.

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.

The stone door at that place immediately vanished into layers of white mist, never to be found again.

With Xie Zhiyu leading the way, some teams began to move forward, no longer dragging their feet.

Those who had made a name in the sect gained more attention and discussion.

"Zhou Jiasheng, top-grade Spirit Root, claimed treasures among late-stage Qi Refining Red Sun Sect Cultivators and earned substantial rewards…"

"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!"

"Sun Yufei, apprenticed under a Talisman Master of the sect, surely possesses numerous talismans, his combat strength unpredictable…"

As the Corpse-Driving Sect took action, Red Sun Sect disciples also moved vigorously.

"Look, that one with the harsh appearance, named He Buyu, needs watching. He previously killed multiple True Disciples from our sect one-on-one, his strength remarkable!"

"That one, looking skyward with conceit, might have a neck problem. They call him Young Master Yun, doubtless needs attention, considering Red Sun Sect's Sect Leader bears the surname Yun…"

As the Corpse-Driving Sect and Red Sun Sect disciples actively moved, another group slowly approached from afar, drawing more attention.

"Wow, seems like Yan Kingdom's True Blood Sect is here!" someone exclaimed.

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.

Lou Yi rarely saw True Blood Sect cultivators, so he carefully observed them.

He noticed their radiant presence, skin exhibiting metallic, jade-like luster, occasional translucent runes flowing, and hair strands glimmering.

Especially the leading red-browed, red-haired youth, dazzling brilliantly, appearing akin to a Magic Treasure.

true Blood Sect cultivaors, an uncommon Body Cultivator faction in the Cultivation Realm, require True Blood rarer than Spirit Roots for cultivation.

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.

Even Red Sun Sect's audacious cultivators avoid approaching them.

Lou Yi searched but didn't find Shi Caifeng and his siblings.

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.

After True Blood Sect cultivators joined, another unfamiliar team of cultivators approached steadily from afar.

This team, dressed in old-fashioned gray-white long gowns, with stern expressions, remained silent.

The front chest sections of their long gowns were embroidered with a coiled red snake, its mouth wide open.

"Are the Li Family people here too?" Bi Yaoyao raised an eyebrow upon seeing them.

"What kind of power is the Li Family?" asked Lou Yi.

"The Li Family, a major Cultivation family located in the East Sea Islands, interacts little with the outside world.

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.

With a lineage of thousands of years, the family has produced several Masters, the three major factions constantly seeking to win their favor."

"I see." Lou Yi's gaze unconsciously fell on a silver-haired youth among the Li Family.

This individual seemed to receive particular attention within the group, indicating an extraordinary status.

Interestingly, sensing Lou Yi's gaze, the silver-haired youth directly turned to look at him.

Both their gazes met in the void, sparking as if igniting flames, making Lou Yi's heart skip a beat in tension.

'Such intense sensitivity… Also, this gaze feels ancient, as if experienced…' Lou Yi mused inwardly.

Noticing the silver-haired youth's move, someone beside him asked: "What is it, ancestor?"

"I discovered a fascinating individual, though it might simply be an illusion." The silver-haired youth smiled subtly, then suddenly his face turned solemn, "I've repeatedly said not to refer to me as ancestor in front of outsiders, just call me by my name."
