It was already late into the night.

Everyone was still in shock.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xu Zongyi didn't know the reason why but he didn't want to investigate it too deeply. Looking at the area in front of Heart Rejuvenation Valley, he couldn't help but grow excited.

The bodies of the dead Fiery-Scaled Snakes were still intact, without even a little bit of damage.

As he said this, Xu Zhengdao and Xu Xindie also came back to their senses. They looked at the many snake corpses at the entrance of the valley. Those were all Fiery-Scaled Snakes at the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Every part of the Fiery-Scaled Serpent's body had a great value. The snake gall could be used as medicine, but of course, the most valuable part was the blood essence within its body.

Everyone walked out of the valley entrance.

Xu Xindie checked on them for a moment, "It's too scary. That calamity just now actually used his own will to shatter all of their souls!"

"Some of these Fire Scale Snakes have even broken through to the second small realm of the Spirit Condensation realm!" Xu Zhengdao was very happy. "If that Flaming Snake had been in the False Realm, it would've been very hard for us to kill it."

"It seems that we'll have to step into the Spirit Condensation realm as soon as possible." At the moment, Xu Xindie also wanted to increase her combat power.

"…" Hearing this, Xu Zongyi pondered in his heart. A method to attack another person's soul … this method of waging war was indeed terrifying. He silently poured blood into the four sided terracotta pot.

"Miss Xindie, look." Xiao E suddenly shouted loudly and pointed at the area where the grass was grown.

Xu Xindie looked around and saw that the orange light was still lingering around. Almost every stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass had stepped into the orange rank, for a total of 100,000 contribution points. 30,000 of them had been absorbed into Xu Zongyi's Valley Order, and now there were 120,000 of them.

Twenty thousand was all that Xu Zhengdao got, and the rest were all split up.

"Great, this time the chances of us winning are not small." Xu Yuping was very happy.

"I didn't expect that in terms of planting, Zong Yi isn't any worse than our Summer Home." Xu Yudan was very surprised. She didn't know what formula she used.

"These are Fiery-Scaled Snakes at the Spirit Condensation realm. Hurry up and start eating the snake meat to replenish the energy." One could imagine the power contained within the flesh of a Scaled Serpent in the Spirit Severing realm. Xu Zhengdao laughed out loud. Previously, when they had teamed up to fight against the four Spirit Condensation realm monsters, the three of them had consumed a great deal of energy.

During these days, Xiao E had also entered the Qi Drawing Realm. She took a piece of snake meat that weighed more than 200 pounds and used a sharp knife to cut it into pieces. With the addition of the Purple Body Strengthening Rice, the rice soup in the pot became thicker, and the fragrance of the meat filled the air.

In one night's time, each Fiery-Scaled Snake at the Spirit Condensation realm could release nearly a hundred kilograms of blood essence. At present, there were more than a hundred of them.

Xu Zongyi completely filled up the four-sided jar, but he was in no hurry to water it. He had to transform it for a period of time.

After finishing all this, he went to drink the snake meat porridge that Xiao E cooked herself.

It had to be said that the Flaming Snake meat at the Spirit Condensation realm was extremely nourishing. Xu Zhengdao, Xu Xindie, and Xu Zongyi, who had consumed a lot of energy, quickly recovered.

After the three of them finished eating, they immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated the energy within, bringing it to their limbs and bones, causing a warm feeling to spread throughout their body as their vital energy and blood surged.

Xu Zongyi could feel that he had stepped into the Qi Drawing Realm and was now extremely sturdy. His strength had risen to 9500 Jin, reaching its limit. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely rich in his blood.

He held the folly sword in his hand and channeled as much of the surrounding spiritual energy as he could, but because his current strength had not reached the level of the Qi flow through his entire body and was unable to form a cycle, which meant that the Qi flow through his body, it was rather difficult for the folly sword to activate.

Xu Zhengdao and Xu Xindie's strength had broken through to 18,000 pounds, nearing the strength of two cauldrons.

Fierce battles with Spirit Severing monsters were on the brink of death, and the potential within their bodies was being stimulated.

"I really hope that there can be a Spirit Condensation monster to help me train, even if it's just to be arrogant." Xu Zhengdao was in high spirits, the bodies of the Flaming Snake had been taken care of.

"Training oneself across realms is indeed a great benefit." Xu Xindie was also full of confidence, "It seems like we were too persistent about the gap between our realms before."

If the two became stronger, it would be of great help in killing the vicious beasts.

Everyone present was brimming with confidence and wanted to go all out.

In the days to come, too many vicious beasts seemed to have died, and the remnants of the murderous spirit remained. Even the weaker vicious beasts did not dare to approach.

Xu Zhengdao, Xu Xindie can only guard this place, not to mention the ferocious beasts, she doesn't even have a single rotten ant!

The news quickly reached the location of Xu Tiancheng's group on the other side.

Even though Xu Zongyi's side had less than half the number of people on his side, the huge commotion that had erupted not long ago still caused Xu Tianyi to feel somewhat uneasy.

That was why he had his men secretly investigate to see what was going on.

"Young master, we will win this time's trial." The spy that Xu Tianyi had secretly planted immediately reported on Xu Zhengdao, the general situation of Xu Xindie's achievement points, as well as the situation of her surroundings after the calamity, "Right now, they are at the entrance of the valley, and there is not a single beast in a radius of a thousand miles. Not even a single ant can be found, only waiting.

"Looks like I really can't underestimate Xu Zhengdao. His battle prowess is quite terrifying, but since the heavens are willing to help us, there's nothing we can do about it." Xu Tianyi's gaze was sinister and malicious. It was clear that none of them could compare to Xu Zhengdao in terms of merit points. However, with the accumulation of these days, it did indeed surpass Xu Zhengyi's camp.

"Then we just need to wholeheartedly guard this place." Xu Tianmu had a smile on his face. This result couldn't be any better.

"Right now, even without me, I can still defend them. Since they have nothing better to do, I'll go and chat with them." Since victory was already within his grasp, Xu Tianyang's words were filled with pride.

He was not very interested in the first place of the trial because he had everything that he should have. This was just a routine trial every year at the Heart Nurturing Valley, so it wasn't anything special.

If Xu Tianmu wanted to take first place, he could just treat it as a favor. After all, if he wanted to become the Patriarch, he needed Xu Tianmu's support.

"Alright, then leave this place to me." Xu Tianmu had a rather deep personality, so he didn't show it on his face. He knew that Xu Tianyi's heart had been clogged with emotions in the past. He didn't want to say it out loud.

Ever since he was a child in the village, no one except Xu Xindie and Xu Zhengdao had dared to do what he did in the Xu family.

Xu Chong and Xu Zhong Mu were extremely fearful of these two people, so he could bear with it. However, the appearance of Xu Zongyi was such that even a descendant of a sinner's blood dared to oppose him.

This time, he also wanted to set an example and establish his might.

"Yes, I will be leaving soon." This time, he was planning on going alone.

The area where Xu Zongyi and the rest were at was completely silent, not even the sound of insects chirping could be heard.

In the past, when Xu Xindie had used the feces of some wild beasts, it was already enough to scare away some of the rotten ants. In the past, when Xu Xindie had used the feces of some wild beasts, it was already possible for some of the rotten ants not to dare approach.

Xu Zongyi and his party had been resting for a while, and upon discovering that there were no other vicious beasts attacking them, they began to panic. The main reason for their achievement points was none other than the vicious beasts.

The calamity had been an accident that had caught everyone off guard and left them at a loss on what to do.

"This is bad, no other baneful creature dares to come. In that case, we will lose to each other in this trial." Over the past ten days, Xu Zhengdao finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"They are at the eastern entrance of the valley, which is thousands of miles away. They shouldn't be affected at all. If this goes on, we will indeed lose." Xu Xindie frowned slightly.

"No problem, I'll go out later to take a look." Xu Zongyi was already unable to sit still. These days, he had been drinking snake meat porridge every day, replenishing his entire body's vital blood to the point where it was extremely exuberant.

Although he had been waiting for this moment, he still brandished the stupid sword and used the essence of the snake meat to nourish his body. He also tried to break through into the Bone Drawing Realm and store some of the Heaven and Earth aura into the stupid sword.

"Are you planning to enter the forest?" Xu Xindie felt that this move was rather dangerous.

"That's right." Xu Zongyi felt that this was the only way things had developed to this point.

"Then I'll go with you." Xu Zhengdao also felt that there were good ways to help each other.

"If some fierce beasts attack, how do you expect them to defend?" Xu Zongyi shook his head. After all, they did not have that many people with them. This was indeed a problem.

"That's true too." Xu Xindie frowned slightly. They did not know where the ferocious beasts were, nor did they know if they would appear out of the blue. They really could not take the risk.

If these grass were to be destroyed, especially since they had already reached the Orange Rank, it would be easier to attract some berserk beasts to eat them.

"Don't worry, it's easy for me to hide in the forest while I'm lightly equipped. In addition, my strength is no longer what it was before. I can't deal with danger, so I can still run." Xu Zongyi smiled coolly.

"That's fine too. Go and scout ahead. Come back quickly." Xu Zhengdao did not stop them in the end. He cautioned them, "If you run into any berserk beasts, remember to run away as soon as possible. If you get the chance, bring them back."

"I'm just afraid that the fight that night didn't end. If you go out, you're going to run away." Xiao E said worriedly from the side.

"Don't worry. That sword is enough to kill it. How could the guardian allow it to stay alive in the Heart Nurturing Valley? Isn't that extremely dangerous for us? " Xu Zongyi waved his hand. After all, they were all around seven years old this time. The village's Xu family definitely would not allow these kids to face an existence like a calamity.

"Mn, I don't need to worry about this. Zong Yi is right." Xu Xindie comforted Xiao E, who was standing beside her.

"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. There's no need to worry." Xu Zongyi nodded and exited the valley at the first possible moment, directly entering the dense forest.

Xiao E looked at his departing back and was a little worried. "What if he doesn't die from the fight? Isn't it dangerous for him to enter?"

"Even if the calamity did not die, I would not dare to stay here. The guardian's sword strike was extraordinary, even if I was in the forest, I would not be able to move. "But what you're worried about is reasonable. How about this, if he's not back yet, then we'll go find him." Xu Zhengdao also understood Xiao E's worry. After all, everyone had retreated to the valley, so there weren't that many beasts.

"Yes." Xu Xindie looked at the Mind Gathering Grass. Even though it had turned into an Orange rank, she could still sense that the grass was still growing and transforming.

Xu Zongyi walked alone into the messy forest.

Originally, the dense forest was lush and full of vitality.

However, the black flames spewed out at the time of the calamity were scattered all over the place, turning it into ashes.

The waves of power generated by the attacks were so great that they were more than a hundred feet high and required ten adults to hold onto the thick tree with their hands. They were all shattered by the impact of the attacks, causing countless trees to break from the impact and fall.

The whole forest was in a mess.

A foul stench permeated the air. There were many corpses of vicious beasts, and most of them had been killed by the aura of war. The ground was covered in flesh and bones, not to mention some existences that had been tainted by the black flames.

Most likely, the other surviving vicious beasts would also escape at the first possible moment.

"How tragic." At this moment, Xu Zongyi realized that being weak and weak was simply too sad.

Perhaps the instant of his death was due to the opponent being too strong, unintentionally resulting in his strength and aura being too strong.

If a giant elephant walked, it wouldn't even be able to see an ant on the ground.

"I must become strong. Otherwise, I'll be no different from the beasts that die on the ground in the future." This scene had brought an enormous shock to Xu Zongyi's heart.
