Ziyun Cave is located in the deepest part of the Xiao family's mansion. It is always guarded by powerful members of the family, and outsiders cannot enter.

Even the children of the Xiao family cannot get close to him on weekdays.

When they were still some distance away from Ziyun Cave, all the clan members, even the elders and deacons, stopped. Only the disciples who had obtained the quota for cultivation could continue to move forward.

Xiao Yi, Xiao Ruohan, Xiao Zimu, Xiao Zhuang and other ten people walked step by step under the hopeful and hopeful eyes of the clan members.

They represent the most outstanding children of the younger generation of the Xiao family; they will be the warriors who will carry the backbone of the Xiao family in the future.

All the clan members secretly blessed them and hoped that they would gain something in Ziyun Cave.

Except for one person, the five elders.

The extremely concealed vicious gaze was staring closely at Xiao Yi's back.

"Little waste, so what if I just let you be proud! As long as my plan is not disrupted, when my son Ruohan comes out of Ziyun Cave, he will completely wipe you out of the Xiao family."

The fifth elder has already had a series of evil plans.

On the other side, Xiao Ruohan, who was advancing with Xiao Yi and other disciples, also glanced at Xiao Yi sideways, and was secretly proud in his heart, "Huh, so what if I make you a blockbuster today. I have been in the seventh level of the mortal realm for a long time, and I will be able to break through the mortal realm soon.

At the eighth level of the realm, if you practice in Ziyun Cave for ten days, you will have a good chance of breaking through to the Houtian realm. By then, your death will come."

Ziyun Cave is opened once every three years. Every time, the family disciples who go in to practice will greatly increase their cultivation level, and it is not impossible to even jump several levels.

Xiao Yi keenly caught Xiao Ruohan's eyes, and even felt the glaring gaze behind him, but he didn't pay attention and smiled nonchalantly.

"This insidious father and son must be thinking of something bad again." Xiao Yi thought to himself.

If it were Xiao Yi in the past, they would definitely have dealt with them long ago. But now, Xiao Yi just regards them as clowns.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi suddenly paused, his eyes fixed in the distance.

There, there is a huge statue, all red and lifelike.

Just looking at the appearance, it seems to be an unknown monster, somewhat like a lion, but it is bigger, with a terrifying sharp horn on its head and two wings on its back.

No one in the entire Xiao family knows the name of this monster statue. They only know that it was placed here by the ancestors of the Xiao family a hundred years ago.

It has existed since the Xiao family established their clan in Ziyun City.

Every child of the Xiao family will come here to observe it before awakening the martial spirit.

The martial soul awakened by a warrior comes from everything in this world.

When a warrior is young, he usually observes various things, which are engraved in his mind and conveyed to his spirit. The more the warrior feels about such objects and the deeper the impression, the more capable he is of awakening this kind of martial spirit.

For example, if you observe a piece of grass all year round, the grass martial soul will awaken.

If you observe a sword for many years, you will awaken the martial spirit of the sword.

Naturally, many big families, sects, sects, etc. will prepare a relatively powerful item for their young children to observe and learn all year round.

The same goes for the Xiao family. It is said that the most precious thing in the Xiao family is this statue.

However, the more powerful and advanced something is, the harder it is to awaken.

For example, for a peerless sword, those with poor talent may only awaken a relatively sharp sword; or even worse, may awaken the most common iron sword.

Of course, there will also be people with extremely high talents who will awaken more powerful sword martial souls.

The same goes for the Xiao family. No one has ever been able to awaken the martial spirit of this monster statue.

And it is obvious that the monster in this statue is a fire-attributed monster.

Therefore, the martial arts awakened by almost everyone in the Xiao family are related to the fire attribute.

Xiao Ruohan's Fire Cloud Python, Xiao Shi's Fire Wolf, Xiao Xingyang's Wild Fire Ox, etc.

Back then, Xiao Yi's qualifications were extremely low, so he awakened the most rubbish fire-controlling beast.

Xiao Yi curled his lips and said to himself, "If I had traveled here a few years earlier, I might have been able to awaken the martial spirit of the monster depicted in this statue. I really want to see what this monster is and what it has.

powerful."

Just when he had this idea, his body suddenly shook violently, and an unprecedented sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

He felt as if he was being targeted by a peerless beast, his whole body was numb and he couldn't move.

He seemed to see the enchanting gaze of the monster statue staring at him tightly, intending to devour his mind.

He felt powerless and panicked; he found that under this feeling, he was naturally powerless to resist.

Suddenly, there was another wave of restlessness in his body, and the Ice Luan Sword Spirit suddenly glowed, and a sharp and indestructible aura enveloped his body.

After the breath of Bingluan Sword appeared, the sense of crisis subsided instantly and his body returned to normal.

"What's going on? Is it an illusion?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and found that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat.

Xiao Yi didn't have time to think clearly about the problem, and his thoughts were interrupted by a rough voice.

"Xiao Yi, why are you standing still? Follow me."

"Uh, oh, okay." Xiao Yi was stunned and quickly followed.

The person who called him just now was Xiao Zhuang.

"Xiao Yi, thank you for what happened a few days ago." Xiao Zhuang walked to Xiao Yi and whispered.

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me." Xiao Yi shrugged.

Xiao Yi found out not long ago that the young boy who was bullied by Xiao Jie and Xiao Shi that day was actually Xiao Zhuang's younger brother.

Xiao Zhuang, as his name suggests, he was tall and tall, like an ox. He shook his head and said, "It's no small matter. If I have another chance in the future, I will definitely return the favor to you."

"It's up to you." Xiao Yi responded lightly.

A few minutes later, everyone finally arrived in front of Ziyun Cave, and by this time, the second elder was already waiting for everyone here.

The so-called Ziyun Cave is actually just a place with a radius of several hundred meters with the monster statue as the center.

Generally, young family members can only observe from a thousand meters away.

Only when Ziyun Cave is opened once every three years, qualified disciples can get within a few hundred meters.

"All disciples, listen to the order and step forward." The second elder shouted directly and majestically without any nonsense.

The ten disciples took a step forward at the same time.

When Xiao Yi took this step, Xiao Yi immediately showed a look of surprise.

Because, the atmosphere around him has completely changed. It can be clearly felt that the spiritual energy around him is so strong that it is terrifying.

The spiritual energy around him was more than ten times richer than outside. He didn't even have to actively absorb it, the spiritual energy around him had already poured into his body automatically.

"It is indeed an excellent place for cultivation." Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Moreover, this is the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, without any impurities, and there is no need to worry about it. The effect is much better than swallowing pills.

Xiao Yi turned around and looked behind him. The second elder was standing one step behind them.

It was only one step away, but the surrounding environment changed so much.

Xiao Yi guessed that there must be a powerful force here that blocked the rich spiritual energy within hundreds of meters, preventing the spiritual energy from leaking out, even if it leaked even a step.

At this time, the second elder who was one step away solemnly ordered, "Listen carefully, there is extremely strong pressure on the statue of the Xiao family. The closer you get, the greater the pressure. Within fifty steps, it is the greatest pressure you will bear."

Limit. Fifty steps away, even the acquired realm is unbearable."

"Remember, no one can step more than fifty steps, otherwise his life will be in danger."

"I obey the second elder's instructions." The ten disciples responded respectfully.

The second elder nodded, and after giving serious instructions, he took a few steps back, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice.

He is truly a martial arts fanatic and will not waste any time practicing.

Everyone began to move forward. The closer they got to the statue, the greater the pressure, but the greater the spiritual energy contained. Naturally, the faster they practiced.

Of course, as long as the distance is no more than fifty steps, there is no danger.

According to the regulations, Xiao Yi walked to the front and stopped after exactly fifty steps.

Five steps later, it was Xiao Ruohan.

After that, it will be decided based on the ranking in the family competition.

Within the scope of fifty steps, each person was separated by five steps, and the ten people started practicing separately.

The distance of five steps is just enough for each other's cultivation to not affect each other's practice, nor to take away the spiritual energy from others and affect other people's cultivation.

Xiao Ruohan looked at Xiao Yi's back in front of him and gritted his teeth with hatred. Xiao Yi's position was the one with the strongest spiritual energy and the fastest cultivation, so he was naturally jealous.

Xiao Yi naturally felt his gaze, but was too lazy to offend him. The most important thing now is to practice quickly and enhance his cultivation.
