“Indeed!” Ian de nodded.


    “Elder Xavier, do you know the cultivation level of the first dean of the Institute?” Alex Long asked.


    “I don’t know!” Elder Xavier shook his head and then looked at everyone. “Alright, find a ce to sit down!”


    “For the next few days, you will stay here to experience the essence of the sword and de. It will greatly benefit your cultivation.”


    “The essence of the sword and de?” Everyone was once again puzzled.


    Since entering this space, they had only felt a strong, oppressive aura. Where did the essence of the sword and dee from?


    “Yes!” Elder Xavier nodded.


    As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely powerful spiritual power emanated from his forehead.


    Immediately, it projected onto the sword and de suspended in mid-air.


    Then, he turned his hands and formed a mysterious seal, sending it towards the sky.


    The next moment, everyone could clearly feel an invisible force radiating from the sword and de, enveloping them. At the same time, the oppressive aura in the space intensified several times over.


    Before long, to everyone’s surprise, their swords and des began to tremble uncontrobly, as if resonating with something.


    Even Billy’s Bloodshadow Fury de was vibrating at a certain frequency.


    “What strong sword essence!” Opal looked at the ancient sword in his hand, a surprised expression on his face.


    Amber and Bob also sensed the intense sword essence, feeling as if their ancient swords were about to fly out of their hands.


    “The de essence is not weak either!” Billy said, his pupils slightly contracting.


    Even the Bloodshadow Fury de could resonate; the de essence here was self-evident.


    He hadn’t expected that the suspended sword and de could release such powerful essences without moving.


    The so-called essence of the sword and de was different from the sword energy and de energy unleashed during battles. Thetter were purely offensive forces with destructive power.


    In contrast, the essence of the sword and de was an intangible force simr to spiritual power. It could help individuals enhance their strength by sensing this intent.


    Of course, how much one could improve depended on personal insight.


    Some might have a sudden breakthrough and advance several levels, while others might not break through even one level due tock of insight.


    But regardless, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Billy and hispanions.


    “How much you canprehend depends on your own talent!” Elder Xavier said, looking at everyone. “I’lle to get you out in ten days!”


    “Thank you, Elder Xavier!” Billy and hispanions bowed in unison.


    “Make good use of your time!” Elder Xavier waved his hand.


    “Elder Xavier, I’m not good with swords or des. Can I still benefit?” Stout asked, fiddling with hisrge de.


    “When you tested your potential that day, it was between purple and ck. With your talent, it should be fine,” Elder Xavier nodded.


    He then pointed at White Feather. “Ites from a higher civilization. This level of sword and de essence won’t be useful for it.”


    “But it’s good to have it stay here and watch over you!”


    “Understood!” Stout nodded.


    After saying this, Elder Xavier turned and left.


    Shortly after he left, Billy and hispanions noticed that the stone wall reappeared in their line of sight.


    Clearly, from the outside, this ce still looked like a stone wall. No one would guess that there was another world inside.


    “The key to understanding the essence of the sword and de is to make it resonate with our cultivation methods, thereby helping us improve our skills,” Billy said to everyone.


    “It might be ufortable at first. Use your cultivation methods to guide it through and bear with it!”


    “Understood!” Everyone nodded simultaneously.


    At this point, everyone was already feeling some difort. Their faces showed varying degrees of change.


    “This is a rare opportunity. Make good use of your time!” Billy continued.


    “Got it!” Everyone responded in unison.


    They each found a ce to sit cross-legged.


    Holding their swords and des in front of them, they activated their cultivation methods to sense the surrounding essence of the sword and de.


    On the other side, Billy took out thirty or forty spiritual fruits from his storage ring and handed them to White Feather before sitting on a stone b.


    He then drew out the Bloodshadow Fury de and guided the surrounding de essence into his body.


    Before long, he felt waves of powerful de essence pouring into his body, continuously impacting his meridians.


    The initial sensation was quite painful,parable to his first time practicing the Strengthening Bloodline Method, like being gnawed by thousands of ants.


    However, fortunately, this pain didn’tst long. In less than a quarter of an hour, the symptoms eased significantly.


    As time passed, Billy could clearly feel the de essence gradually gathering in his dantian under the guidance of his cultivation method.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    The amount increased, and so did the speed. The barrier in his heart showed signs of loosening.


    Of course, this also had something to do with the two supreme grade Elemental Pills he had refined a few days ago. Otherwise, relying solely on this de essence wouldn’t have yielded such quick results.


    Not only him but also Stout and others showed signs of breaking through.


    A few days ago, they had refined many spiritual fruits and natural treasures. Each of them was just one step away from breaking through.


    With the help of these essences, breaking through that barrier wasn’t too difficult.


    So it wasn’t surprising that in less than a day, everyone, including Billy, sessfully advanced by one level.


    But this wasn’t the end!


    After breaking through, no one stopped. Such a rare opportunity had to be cherished.


    No one had time to enjoy the joy of breaking through; they immediately immersed themselves again to continueprehending.


    On the morning of the fifth day, Billy had Stout distribute two supreme grade Elemental Pills to each person. They spent two days refining these pills before continuing toprehend the essence of the sword and de.


    Meanwhile, in a pce hall within the Institute’s inner courtyard, two men were seated.


    One was Tyler Bailey, vice-president of Canyon View Institute. He had just returned to the Institute yesterday.


    The other was Elder Xavier.


    “Uncle, I heard from Matthew Lawrence that you brought over a dozen young people from Sky City to the Institute a few days ago?” Tyler Bailey asked Elder Xavier respectfully.


    “Yes!” Elder Xavier took a sip of tea.


    “Matthew Lawrence mentioned that those young people have excellent potential?” Tyler Bailey continued.


    “One young man reportedly shattered the testing pir into pieces. Is he Miss Knight’s lover?”


    “Stop beating around the bush. What do you want to say?” Elder Xavier put down his teacup.
