"Okay."
Yin Lee nodded, agreeing with Nangong Huanxue's words.
No one knew how big Blood Sun Wonderland was. To find a criminal was like finding a needle in a haystack. It would be better to find a martial intent first.
Yin Lee took out four Broken Maps and handed them to Nangong Huanxue.
Nangong Huanxue took them and carefully pieced the twelve Broken Maps together.
Not long after, a complete picture of the overall situation appeared.
"The destination is two thousand miles to the west." Nangong Huanxue looked at the map and said.
Everyone looked at each other. Yin Lee waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
"Let's go." Nangong Huanxue put away the map, moved her body and followed closely behind.
"Ye Zhi, you and Miss Xue..."
Nangong Xuan and Ye Zhi walked side by side. He glanced at Nangong Huanxue's figure and asked with a frown.
"Oh." Ye Zhi was stunned. Then he said, "We are fine."
"Nothing?" Nangong Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at Ye Zhi in disbelief.
There was something wrong with his words.
"Really?"
Nangong Xuan was not sure.
"Yes."
"Come on, come on. I don't have to worry about the two of you." Nangong Xuan looked at Ye Zhi and shook his head with a smile.
Ye Zhi's eyes moved, and he sighed to himself.
"Evil Venerable, if I swallow all of the martial intent here, will the people of the three families be able to sense it?" Ye Zhi followed everyone and asked in his heart.
"No, it's just that in the next martial arts competition, those who enter the grotto-heaven won't be able to find the martial intent." Unparalleled Old Devil sneered.
"The next martial arts competition has nothing to do with me..."
Ye Zhi grinned.
"Tsk, tsk. I love your character. Very good." Unparalleled Old Devil praised.
Ye Zhi rolled his eyes.
He didn't want to swallow the martial intents of the three families, but he could sense the changes in the spirit fire in his body. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself when the time came.
"My spirit fire, I can't control it..."
Ye Zhi helplessly curled his lips.
About an hour later, Ye Zhi's entire body suddenly shook, and a wisp of blue light surged into his eyes.
"Bear with it. I'll give you a chance to swallow it." The swallowing power that was suddenly released made Ye Zhi not hesitate at all. He bit his tongue and defended Kongming with all his might.
His words seemed to have an effect. The power quickly dispersed.
Ye Zhi let out a sigh of relief. As he looked at the mountain forest in front of him that was slowly becoming sparse, he thought to himself, it seemed that the martial intent was right in front of him.
After a while, several figures emerged from the mountain forest. In front of them was a wasteland.
Not far ahead was a large open field.
In the middle, there was an altar.
A strange fluctuation spread.
When everyone saw the altar, they were all excited. They jumped and gathered at the side of the altar.
Ye Zhi stared at the altar, frowning. Could it be that the martial intent was hidden within the altar? But how could he comprehend it?
At this time, Nangong Huanxue and Yin Lee looked at each other. Yin Lee whispered, "The martial intent is inside the altar. If you want to open the altar, you need the blood of six disciples from the three families."
"Disciples of the three families? Brother Li, Wu family..." Yin Ze said.
Everyone's heart sank.
"When the three families' ancestors were founded, they had already guessed that something like this would happen. Therefore, as long as the six disciples are the descendants of the three families, there is no need for all three families to come." Yin Lee explained.
The parents heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Zhi suddenly noticed that there were six grooves around the altar. He seemed to have understood something.
Nangong Huanxue and Yin Lee came to the two grooves. Yin Lee glanced at them and said, "Four more."
Nangong Xuan, Nangong Xi, and Yin family rushed over as soon as they finished speaking.
The six of them squatted by the ditches and squeezed some blood into the ditches.
Boom!
A strange fluctuation arose. Ye Zhi's pupils constricted. He saw six drops of blood flowing along the groove into the bottom of the altar.
Weng ~
A thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the altar.
Everyone looked over in shock and saw a brilliant white light emitting from the altar, spreading out in all directions like a curtain.
An extremely terrifying pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire body, as if facing a deity statue, making people want to kneel down.
"What a shocking impetus."
Ye Zhi's face was deathly pale. His body trembled slightly. He clenched his teeth and endured the pressure.
Fortunately, the pressure came and went in a hurry.
Soon, the pressure dissipated. Ye Zhi felt his clothes soaked in sweat. He breathed heavily, as if he had just fought a battle.
A whirlpool quietly appeared on the altar. The surrounding space fluctuated violently like ripples.
Everyone's faces were pale as they stared at the whirlpool on the altar. A fervent light burst out from their eyes.
"Let's go, the martial intent is hidden within."
Nangong Huanxue took a deep breath, and only after she finished speaking did she lightly tap the tips of her toes. Her body was as light as a swallow as she floated into the vortex.
"Let's go."
Yin Lee said and also entered the vortex.
The rest of them followed closely behind.
Inside was a vast and boundless space.
There were only three stone monuments standing within.
The stone steles were enveloped by a layer of light.
"Could it be that these three stone steles represent the martial intent of our ancestors?" Someone said in a low voice.
"Yes, the three stone steles have a speed martial intent, a Yang martial intent, and a variation martial intent. Everyone chooses a type of martial intent to comprehend in front of the stone tablets."
Nangong Huanxue slowly said.
Three types of martial intent. A speed martial intent is fine, but it is also very shallow. " As for the other extreme Yang martial intents and the variation of martial intents, none of them are on the table. " Unparalleled Old Devil said in a low voice.
Ye Zhi was at a loss for words.
In Heavenly Spirit Martial Realm, perhaps only a Martial Venerable would dare to say such words.
The meaning of martial arts wasn't enough. On the surface? No matter how poor a martial intent was, it was still priceless.
The blue flames in Ye Zhi's eyes flickered. He bit his tongue, feeling quite helpless in his heart, "Temporarily endure it, I will give it to you to swallow."
At this moment, after a moment of hesitation, everyone chose their own stone monuments and closed their eyes to meditate in the light.
Nangong Huanxue and Nangong Xi chose the speed of the martial intent. Nangong Xuan chose the Illusory martial intent.
As for Yin Lee and the others, they each chose the Extreme Yang martial intent and the Illusory martial intent.
Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment and slowly arrived in front of the stone tablet of the speed of time martial intent. He closed his eyes and began meditating behind Nangong Xi.
"I wonder if I can comprehend this martial intent?"
Thinking about the strange aspects of the spirit fire in his body, Ye Zhi didn't have much hope.
Even if he could comprehend it, it would most likely be swallowed up by the spirit fire.
He smiled helplessly. He still wanted to give it a try.
Closing his eyes, he extended his mind towards the stone tablet.
Weng ~
Just as he focused his mind on the stone tablet, an extremely terrifying power struck his mind like a thunderbolt.
Whoosh!
A mouthful of blood was spat out. Ye Zhi opened his eyes. His face was pale, and his body was trembling.
At this moment, everyone had yet to fully enter their state, but they were woken up by Ye Zhi.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Zhi. All of them had a look of astonishment on their faces.
A trace of confusion and complexity flashed across Nangong Huanxue's eyes. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ye Zhi smiled bitterly and sighed. "I'm fine. You guys are busy. I'll go for a walk."
After saying that, he left the vicinity of the stone tablet. His body swayed and he left the place.
Seeing Ye Zhi leave, everyone frowned.
He actually didn't comprehend a martial intent?
What just happened?
It was baffling.
They looked at each other and closed their eyes to comprehend. They ignored Ye Zhi.
There were three types of martial intents gathered here. If one could comprehend them, not only would one's strength increase, but it would also be beneficial to their future training.
Every second was precious.
Outside, Ye Zhi sat on the edge of the altar, a gloomy expression on his face.
Just now, in that instant, a terrifying power had actually emerged from the spirit fire, stopping him from comprehending the martial intent.
He could even feel the spirit fire becoming angry.
"Evil Venerable, what's going on?" Ye Zhi was confused.
"Ye Zhi, have you ever thought that your spiritual fire has surpassed the Heavenly Spirit Martial Realm and will surpass the Heavenly Spirit Martial Realm in the future?"
Unparalleled Old Devil's voice was so serious.
Ye Zhi's eyes narrowed.
"Beyond the Heavenly Spirit Martial Realm?" Ye Zhi was stunned. Then he raised his hand and said, "The martial intent devours and feeds on the martial intent. Could it be..."
"Evil Venerable, could it be that the spirit fire is blocking me because the martial intent is too low?" A light flashed through Ye Zhi's mind as he said in surprise.
"This sovereign isn't sure yet, but this is very likely to be the case. The origin of the Blue Root Stone is something that even this sovereign does not know. It surpasses the origin gate of Heavenly Spirit Martial Realm..." Unparalleled Old Devil muttered to himself.
But in the future, how do I comprehend the martial intent? I can't just abandon it like this, can I? " Ye Zhi had an embarrassed look on his face.
"Ye Zhi, could it be that you have forgotten that your spirit fire is fed on martial intent? As long as you can unravel the mysteries within, or wait for it to swallow enough, then the truth will be revealed." Unparalleled Old Devil was deep in thought.
"Swallow enough..."
Ye Zhi helplessly patted his head. Looking at it now, the spirit fire was like a black hole. Who knew when he would be able to swallow enough martial intent?
He was only a Metamorphosis Stage, so where could he find a martial intent?
"Let nature take its course. There's no good solution now." Ye Zhi smiled bitterly.
"Ye Zhi, didn't you say before that spirit fire might have intelligence?" Unparalleled Old Devil reminded.
"Yes." Ye Zhi nodded.
"This sovereign thinks that swallowing martial intent is only to give birth to intelligence. This is an instinctive act of swallowing everything. Perhaps it is because of the Blue Root Stone that you naturally have a martial intent." Unparalleled Old Devil was also shocked by this guess.
"Swallowing martial intent..."
Ye Zhi opened his eyes wide, his expression full of surprise.
If this was true, then it was truly heaven defying.
"Don't think too much. You are still weak. You just need to fight steadily. Some things will naturally come when the time comes." Unparalleled Old Devil comforted him.
"I understand. Thank you, Evil Venerable." Ye Zhi took a deep breath. A smile appeared on his gloomy face.
"Do you know how to be polite?" he asked. Tsk." Unparalleled Old Devil was a little dissatisfied.
"This..." Ye Zhi was about to open his mouth, but his expression changed. His gaze turned to the forest behind him.
"The fish that escaped the net appeared?"
Ye Zhi smiled. He jumped and did not go into the forest.
In the forest, a figure disappeared in a flash.
Ye Zhi entered the forest and looked around alertly. The spiritual energy in his body was churning. He could deal with any slight movement of the wind.
His current strength was at the Sixth Rank of Metamorphosis Stage realm. Without the Time Pearl and the Ice Pearl, he had lost his trump card. However, as long as his opponent wasn't at the One Thought Stage realm, he would be able to fight him.
Activating the spiritual fire, a strong sense spread through the forest, and he could detect any slight movement.
"Out of the thirty criminals, you're the only one left. Why haven't you come out yet?" Ye Zhi looked around with light steps and said softly.
The forest was silent.
"Don't you want to show yourself? Don't worry, I'm the only one. Others are comprehending the martial intent, so they don't have the time to care about you."
