Like a tornado rising, the wind suddenly howled sharply.

Within it contained countless evil forces, representing disease, curses, demonic intent...

Its impact was vast, Huan Songzi's expression changed slightly, a huge phantom appeared behind him, like a deity, this was his Dharmic Aspect.

With one palm lifted, as if supporting the entire firmament.

The evil, corrupting force gathered into a sphere, transforming into a large vortex, constantly spinning in the air.

But because there was no subsequent power to support it, it quickly dissipated.

Huan Songzi stood in place, a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

If not for his current role as a Guardian, Qin Cultivator would not have escaped.

But a strike from the Two-Nirvana Dharmic Aspect, if he hadn't blocked it, everyone here would have perished.

Feeling the bizarre, evil power, he felt a sense of familiarity.

Lifeless Sect, Sin Saint Heir - Qin Cultivator.

This person is considered a legend, traversing hundreds of states in the east of Hongze, everyone thought he could break through to Saint like drinking water, the internal members of Lifeless Sect aligned with him, among Earth's Twelve Branches, five branches looked to him as a leader.

But after cultivating for over two thousand years, he was consistently revered as the Saint Heir, never achieving the rank of True King Saint.

Later, news of his fall spread.

The technique and Dharmic Aspect used by that person just now were identical to those of the Sin Saint Heir from years ago.

He cast a complicated glance at Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang, thinking these True Inheritors of Saints from small places would be of the honest type.

He thought his role as their Guardian should have been very simple.

But...

How did he encounter such a situation just after stepping out.

A few days ago, Zhuge Wuliang went out, he knew he went to Innocent Island, fortunately, the other was restrained, knowing that killing outside Innocent City, the City Lord of Innocent City was willing to give the Six Academies of the North some face, without pursuing it further.

In just a few days, he encountered a presence suspected of being the Sin Saint Heir again.

Truly peculiar.

Huan Songzi glanced at the crowd, "This person's identity is special, I must report back to the upper academy."

He once again regretted letting Qin Cultivator escape; otherwise, he could find out if the Sin Saint Heir was truly still alive.

If such a person were hidden in Jizhou, capable of causing great destruction with his vast influence, especially skilled in pestilential Divine Techniques, he absolutely cannot be allowed to remain.

...

Xu Guang, Jin Buhuan, and others were unaware of Huan Songzi's mood as they quickly rushed toward Zhuge Wuliang's location.

"Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Zhuge Wuliang appeared pale but his eyes were bright, "I'm fine."

After the Sin Saint Heir's Dharmic Aspect left, his invincible True Intent remained unaffected.

His invincibility was not the kind of invincibility that could defeat all under heaven, but rather a form of invincibility through a high recognition of oneself, strictly speaking, it's not invincibility, but a form of fearlessness!

True strong individuals do not need others' validation, their mere existence is a kind of power.

Xu Guang and Jin Buhuan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Zhuge Wuliang was not lying. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Their biggest worry was that Zhuge Wuliang might suffer a hidden loss and his True Intent may collapse, ruining his path, which would be a huge infringement on them.

However, it seemed the worst-case scenario did not occur.

...

Moments later.

Inside a room in the mining area, everyone gathered.

Aside from the disciples of the Northern Emperor Academy, there were also Warriors, provided by Jin Buhuan and Cao Ku.

Both were wealthy individuals with powerful backgrounds, and these Warriors were cultivated by their families.

This time, they had done a lot of work.

"Brother Xu, are you alright?"

Jin Buhuan, who had the best relationship with Xu Guang, asked.

The crowd looked on curiously; Xu Guang's investigation had lasted over a month, which seemed too perplexing.

Xu Guang felt a bit embarrassed, "I found the copper-blood door, and just as I was about to leave, an intention of Martial Dao mysteriously appeared on it, a remnant from a powerful figure from years past. It was too good to pass, so I stayed to attempt an understanding, thank you all for your concern, Xu Mou has taken the advantage..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Buhuan smiled, "I see, an unclaimed Martial Dao intent, my Junior Brother has such good fortune, it seems the intent truly aligns with you. There's no need to apologize, don't mention it, not only does that intent align with you, but had it not been for you, that Martial Dao intent, once appeared, would have dissipated in no time, my Junior Brother should not mind."

Upon saying so, he glanced at Cao Ku.

He wasn't worried about Zhuge Wuliang, but Cao Ku, given his existing friction with Xu Guang, could feel dissatisfied, and he would then be caught in a difficult position as the intermediary.

Cao Ku was more open-minded than Jin Buhuan expected, despite showing envy, he said, "Congratulations Brother Xu, on comprehending Martial Dao's intent, achieving First Grade safely. Hopefully, in the next assessment tournament, you won't be in the same realm as me, as I don't want to encounter you again."

Jin Buhuan gave a contented smile.

"I am immensely grateful for your tolerance, Xu Mou," Xu Guang said earnestly. "I haven't touched anything within the copper-blood door, you all should select first."

None of them declined.

Since Xu Guang had already gained benefits, offering some profit was expected.

After a brief rest and adjustment, they followed Xu Guang toward the mine cave where the bronze-blooded door was located.

The previous battle had been too fierce; the blood pool that once filled the depths of the mine was now dry, leaving only the lone copper-blood door standing in the air.

Jin Buhuan took out a talisman to identify whether there was any danger around, and after confirming, they began to enter.
