“On one hand, I am giving you an opportunity,” the old man responded.


    “On the other hand, I will give you the method to pass through the Star Domain Chasm. Whether you go or not is up to you.”


    “Really?” Everyone’s eyes lit up.


    “Yes,” the old man nodded.


    As they talked, they arrived in front of a three-story tower.


    “This tower has an array set up by your two Ancestors. Inside, they left their martial arts mindsets for you toprehend,” the old man exined, pointing at the tower.


    “There are three floors in total. The higher you go, the stronger the mindset, but the pressure you must endure also increases. Proceed ording to your capability.”


    “Martial arts mindset?” Ian de was slightly taken aback. “Is it like the de spirit that can help us improve our cultivation?”


    “In theory, yes,” the old man nodded. “But how much you canprehend depends on your own understanding.”


    “Understood,” everyone nodded.


    “You may enter now. In ten days, I will take you to another ce,” the old man continued.


    “Thank you, senior!” Everyone bowed in respect.


    “If you want to thank someone, thank your Ancestors,” the old man smiled and then turned to leave.


    “White Feather, these Spirit Fruits are for you. Wait for us outside,” Billy said, taking out a bunch of high-grade Spirit Fruits from his storage ring.


    White Feather chirped and nodded.


    Then, Billy led everyone into the tower.


    As soon as they entered the first-floor hall, everyone from Azure Dragon gasped.


    The pressure inside was incredibly strong. Even though they were all at mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm, they felt as if they could hardly move.


    At the same time, just like when they sensed the de spirit at Canyon View Institute Sword Hill, waves of martial arts mindset surrounded them.


    “Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, you stay on the first floor,” Billy instructed. “The rest of you follow me to the second floor.”


    “Alright,” everyone from Azure Dragon nodded and found a ce to sit cross-legged.


    On the second floor, Billy and his group could clearly feel that the pressure was much stronger than on the first floor. Azure Dragon members wouldn’t be able to stay here for long even if they came up.


    “Opal, you and Casey stay on the second floor. Harleen and I will check out the third floor,” Billy continued.


    “Okay,” Opal and the others responded in unison.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Soon, Billy and Harleen reached the third floor.


    “The pressure here is intense!” Harleen shivered involuntarily.


    Even with her bloodline enhancement, the pressure was overwhelming. Anyone below Heaven Dao Realm would likely explode if they stayed here too long.


    “Harleen, can you hold on?” Billy asked.


    “I can try!” Harleen nodded.


    “If it gets too much, don’t force it,” Billy advised.


    “Understood,” Harleen nodded slightly.


    They each found a ce to sit cross-legged and began to focus onprehending the strong martial arts mindset.


    Miraculously, shortly after sitting down, Billy felt a sudden rity, and his martial arts mindset became purer.


    “Interesting,” Billy muttered to himself.


    “Billy, this martial arts mindset is really strong. Can Ie out andprehend it too?” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.


    “This martial arts mindset is useful to you?” Billy was slightly surprised.


    “Of course!” Purple Spirit responded.


    “Thene out!” Billy said.


    “Yay!” Purple Spirit eximed and then emerged, finding a ce to sit down as well.


    Time flew by quickly. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.


    In this environment filled with strong martial arts mindsets, anyone with decent martial arts talent would gain significant insights.


    Moreover, Billy and hispanions had exceptional martial arts talent. So, unsurprisingly, after ten days, everyone’s cultivation had improved significantly.


    The Azure Dragon members, although they only stayed on the first floor, advanced two levels due to their rtively lower starting point.


    Azure Dragon and Azure Fang reached eighth-rank Wu Dao Realm. Felicia, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger advanced to seventh-rank. Night Orchid and Frostde reached sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.


    Casey, Stout, and Amber stepped into ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm. Ivy, Opal, and Aubreepleted their tribtions and broke through to Heaven Dao Realm in this environment.


    Billy and Harleen also advanced one level each, both stepping into second-rank Heaven Dao Realm.


    Purple Spirit also benefited from these Perceiving Dao Realm mindsets, gaining strength over the ten days.


    “You all are truly martial arts prodigies!”


    On the afternoon of the tenth day, the phantom elder returned to the tower. After roughly assessing everyone’s cultivation, his eyes lit up with surprise.


    “Senior tters us!” Harleen bowed in response. “Thank you, senior!”


    “No need for thanks. I am just a guide,” the old man smiled. “Come with me; I’ll take you to another ce.”


    He led them out of the tower and flew towards the right side.


    After about ten minutes, theynded on a grassy field in front of a hundred-meter-high stone cliff.


    The cliff appeared to have been split by a de or sword; its surface was smooth as a mirror.


    At the top of the cliff wererge characters carved in a mboyant style: “Realm of Swords and des.”


    Below these characters were no words but several deep cuts made by des or swords, each several meters deep and clearly made in one stroke.


    “Realm of Swords and des? What does it mean?” Ian de asked as he looked at the cliff.


    “This was left by your two Ancestors. I can’t say exactly what it’s for; you’ll have to figure it out yourselves,” the old man exined.


    “In your Ancestors’ words, if you canprehend something from these de marks, it will benefit you for life.”


    Just a stone cliff with some de marks-what could beprehended from that?


    “Don’t underestimate these de marks. Try to feel them with your heart,” the old man suggested, noticing their skepticism.


    “I’ll give it a try,” Ian de said, clearing his mind and focusing on the cliff.


    “Hmm?!” He soon let out a gasp of astonishment.


    “Ian de, what is it?” Bob asked.


    “I can’t exin it; try it yourself,” Ian de replied.


    Following his lead, everyone including Billy focused their minds on the cliff.


    Like Ian de’s reaction, after a few minutes, everyone showed expressions of shock.


    They were astonished because when they focused on those de marks, they felt as if they were in a realm filled with endless de energy.


    de energy filled the entire space with a pervasive sense of killing intent crisscrossing everywhere as if the whole space was constructed from de energy.


    In this realm, everyone felt as insignificant as ants and couldn’t help but feel a sense of despair.


    In such an environment, they didn’t even have the courage to fight back.


    “Focus onprehending here; I’ll return in three days.”


    The old man’s voice echoed in their ears before he turned and left.
