That vast and dark expanse would be capable of losing a mortal in its vastness, with Yin laws dense enough to quickly corrode natural Yang and extinguish the life of any individual within minutes.

Even common cultivators would perish in this environment over time. However, all the evil disciples there were qualified, having survived various trials that guaranteed certain death.

The Yin laws were still exceptionally familiar to these disciples. Although unable to see, everyone could sense the environment around them and easily fight, relying solely on their sharpened instincts. These cultivators were bloodthirsty and experienced warriors, marking a clear difference from the youth in other parts of the continent that Zane and Gael had encountered. The sect's deadly method had indeed proven to be the most efficient in forming skilled and formidable cultivators.

With everyone inside and the doors closing with a thunderous sound, a sinister silence dominated the place. No one wished to reveal their position, preparing to efficiently murder anyone they encountered. However... it didn't take long for faint tremors to draw everyone's attention; a giant whale naturally didn't move without making noise.

Gael then communicated mentally through the array with Mira: 'You are still too weak, and even though you are a woman, you have not practiced Yin laws yet. Focus and perceive all the killing intent approaching with your instincts. Use the laws of the earth that we are sharing through the array to block the enemies and attack their minds, surprising them.'

It took no more than five minutes for dozens of cultivators to silently target the large prey. Zane and Gael were more familiar with Yin laws than even the patriarch of the sect. It wouldn't be difficult to conceal their presence even with their oversize, but the goal of this test was to eliminate as many as possible. And despite Zane's irritation with this fat body, it was convenient.

All evil cultivators were between the first and third levels of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Only the new recruits Goku and Langrum were at the elementary level of this realm because they had recently broken through. Their level was something like level zero, and it took a bit of time for the realm to stabilize, and they officially entered level one.

Mira closed her eyes, sealing all senses and fully focusing on this training. To any external observer, it would seem like suicide. What could a child at the fourth level of Qi Gathering do?

Moreover, she had never had the opportunity to use or study the laws of the earth or any other elemental law. Gael's requirements were completely impossible for any cultivator in these conditions.

Gael took steps forward calmly and sensed something approaching from behind but didn't react. Then, the sound of metal colliding with a steel fist was heard.

'Sorry... master!' Mira spoke mentally after the cultivator attacked Zane and Gael's fat backs directly, without her noticing his approach.

Gael didn't even bother to defend himself; it was just someone at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the defenses of his physical cultivation were enough to block the attack. With a movement as casual as swatting a fly, a punch from his fists landed on the head of that poor cultivator, who died in the same second.

'I don't expect you to get it on the first try. Use the laws of the earth on the ground to sense subtle movements, the killing intent, the movement in the air of Yin laws, the smell of blood coming from them... all are subtle things, but if you stack them, it becomes simpler. Don't rely on just one thing.' Gael spoke softly.

Seconds passed as they walked calmly. Zane was completely focused on figuring out everything he could about this tower. Gael just supervised Mira and finished off those who attacked. The stronger cultivators merely followed them from a distance; the weaker ones came first and posed no danger.

After half a dozen sneak attacks, Mira seemed to evolve a bit and managed to block the first cultivator. Of course, she didn't have the capacity for this with her own power. The laws of the earth from Zane and Gael were used by her for this. When the target tried to approach, he was caught off guard, and his legs were trapped by the earth. In that moment of surprise, Mira invaded his mind and stunned him briefly. Then, Gael attacked and finished everything.

Gael then sighed, impressed. 'She's evolving very quickly. If she keeps up at this pace, she'll be terrifying in the future.' He could feel her heart beating frantically; if she didn't need to focus, he was sure she would be smiling happily.

'Control your emotions,' Gael told Mira without giving any praise. He didn't want to inflate her ego and lose her way.

After ten minutes of testing, Zane finally reached a conclusion, speaking with a greedy air, 'I'm sure something inside the abyss is being sealed. The energy the tower is receiving from outside is definitely being converted to create a current.'

Gael contemplated the idea. 'So the other six towers must be the same. This is the work of cultivators from the divine realm, so something good must be there. I don't think we'll be as lucky as with the Divinestone clan formation, and we're still too weak. But we can take a look when the opportunity arises.'

Zane then added, 'I find it hard to believe that these evil cultivators have any information or hints about it. Since they use the towers for training, they must just be like that pathetic clan, benefiting only from the leftovers.'

Zane finally focused on the environment they were in. Having a pure Yin soul, he was like a shark in the ocean surrounded by small fish, so he said, 'Let's just massacre everyone and stop wasting time.'

Gael responded calmly. 'We don't need to bother chasing after them. It seems the young master leading the disciples has realized that attacking like this is pointless and has gathered everyone to strike. Mira's training ended quickly, but it was productive.'

All evil cultivators were known for acting in groups to kill, rob, and destroy, just like that small town they saved before. All disciples, trained to the limit of death, were encouraged to form groups from an early age.

The groups of cultivators claiming to follow the righteous path were always formed for a mission with significant rewards involved. No one was willing to rely on someone to watch their backs or trust that the other wouldn't try something strange. Only interest and guarantees moved them.

On the other hand, evil cultivators created an extremely rigid and brutal hierarchy among themselves from an early age. One leader commanded, and the others obeyed without hesitation. There was no interest, only pride and will. If they died, it was because they were weak, and if the leader was incompetent, they simply took his head and became the new leader. It was simple and direct.

So, after fifteen minutes of testing, a coordinated attack from dozens of cultivators closed in on them. Zane smiled; almost all of them were at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. That should be the limit they could fight and win in a direct confrontation.

Gael just sighed. He tried to spare lives as much as he could and agreed to kill only those who came directly for them. But in this place where everyone relied only on their instincts, Zane was the supreme king. Not only could he see and feel perfectly, but he could also steal the Qi around and spare his own. These fools were jumping directly into the mouth of a bloodthirsty shark.

A minute later, everyone inside the tower who wasn't commanded by the young master heard screams and sounds of earth exploding. Then, their nostrils were invaded by a dense smell of blood.

The sound of bodies falling and exploding every second briefly startled those disciples, but they felt the movement of the leader and didn't retreat at all.

In the next second, an attack that made the laws tremble was sensed by Zane. It was the young master of that group of enemies personally attacking. Zane then smiled sinisterly and advanced in that direction.

But when he was a few meters away from colliding with him, Zane stopped abruptly. Gael, who couldn't see directly in that place, was startled, feeling an extreme shock coming from Zane.

Gael was stunned by Zane suddenly retracting his killing intent, and the young master's attack came directly at them, hitting them head-on.

Boom!!!

Mira was immediately covered by earth laws, protecting her. Then, the round whale was thrown several meters back, spitting out a lot of blood.

They fell to their knees and slowly got up. 'What the hell did you do, trying to kill us, idiot?!' Gael shouted.

Then, Zane murmured mentally, astonished. 'Fuck you! Why don't you use a little bit of my Yin Laws and see just who is fucking ahead of us?!'

Gael, surprised by the answer, did exactly that. In the end, he was also left shocked. 'That's... How can it be?!'
