The group of disciples extended their Divine Sense, looking around to see what this place was.

The Inheriting Elder continued, "This is Sui Hun Valley, a place for the cultivation of the Divine Soul! The mountain wind here is filled with a strong killing aura! A Martial Artist who wishes to temper their Divine Soul must come here for cultivation! Do you see that valley ahead?"

After saying this, the Inheriting Elder pointed towards a valley in front of the group of disciples and asked.

"We see it!"

The group of disciples shouted in unison.

At this moment, there were no clouds or windstorms in the valley, and the scenery ahead was very clear.

Thus, all the disciples could clearly see that there truly was a valley ahead.

"This place is suitable for low-level Martial Artists to refine their souls. Once your Spiritual Power becomes strong enough, you can advance towards the valley ahead. Look there again, you will find that the valley becomes narrower and narrower, right?"

The Inheriting Elder said.

"Right!"

The crowd followed the direction pointed by the Inheriting Elder and saw that there were seven valleys in total, with varying degrees of narrowness between the two high mountains surrounding each valley.

"Those valleys all have arrays. Do you see the valley at the very inside? That valley is suitable for Martial Artists at the Early Stage of the Shattering Void Realm to cultivate. It's not a place you can enter. Many masters are guarding there, and you must not break into it! Remember this well! None of you should recklessly enter the valley at the very inside! Understand?"

The Inheriting Elder said very seriously.

"Understood!"

The group of disciples quickly responded together.

"The valley we are currently in is suitable for Early-stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists to cultivate. If you are an Early-stage Martial Emperor, this is the most suitable place for you to cultivate! The second valley is suitable for Middle Stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists; the third valley is suitable for Late Stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth valleys are suitable for Early, Middle, and Late Stage Martial Saints respectively. The last one is suitable for Martial Artists at the Early Stage of the Shattering Void Realm. Here in Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, there are no Soul Refining lands suitable for Martial Artists in the Mid and Late stages of the Shattering Void Realm, because the Rule Power here is completely unsuitable for the survival of the Shattering Sky."

The Inheriting Elder then explained to the present disciples what exactly the valleys in front were for.

After listening, everyone suddenly realized.

"I don't know your strengths, now, Martial Artists at the Early Stage of Martial Emperor, step forward! Line up here first!"

The Inheriting Elder said.

Following this, Duan Gujin saw Yan Dapang and three other disciples step out from the crowd.

"Very good, from now on you will temper your Spiritual Power in the first valley! Martial Artists at the Middle Stage of Martial Emperor, step out!"

The next moment, thirteen disciples stepped out from the crowd.

"Listen well! Early-stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists will cultivate inside the first valley, and Middle and Late Stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists will cultivate in the second valley. If Late-stage Martial Emperor Martial Artists wish to enter the third valley, they must first pass the test of the second valley. You must remember this!"

The Inheriting Elder said.

"Okay!"

The group of disciples responded.

Afterwards, the Inheriting Elder informed this group of disciples about their cultivation range.

At Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, the practice areas had already been clearly designated, and each disciple was to train according to the range indicated on the map.

"Now, all of you protect your Divine Souls!"

The Inheriting Elder said.

"Okay!"

The group of disciples became excited, knowing that they were soon to undergo this phase's test.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Following this, the Inheriting Elder led the group to a stone staircase.

The stone stairs were incredibly high, visible from the base all the way to the mountaintop.

"Let's go up!"

The Inheriting Elder immediately ran up.

The disciples below could hear the whistling of the wind beside their ears.

"This is your Soul Refining Land!"

The Inheriting Elder pointed towards the stone stairs as he spoke.

It was clearly marked next to the stone stairs whose section it was, strictly prohibiting disciples from other sects from entering.

The Inheriting Elder led the crowd upwards, with everyone walking up the narrow stairs, many worried about their companions potentially falling off.

Fortunately, there were ten groups of stone stairs, and the entire team split into ten different groups, climbing up one by one.

After ascending ten meters, they felt the ghostly whines and howls of the wind by their ears, causing many disciples' Divine Souls to tremble.

"Why does this wind sound so terrifying?"

On the side, Yan Dapang took a sharp intake of breath, his legs shaking slightly.

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense extended and discovered that the sound of the wind was specially enhanced by an Array. He looked around and found that there was a huge tomb underground nearby.

"Below are the graves of the Demon Clan from the past. We, the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, buried those bones here and then, through the Array, let the True Body power of the Demon Clan emit outward!"

The Inheriting Elder directed everyone's attention to a pile of objects resembling graves below.

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts began to beat fiercely.

Only then did the crowd understand why this place was so terrifying; it turned out there were many Demon Clan skeletal remains nearby!

"Everyone pay attention, those who feel uncomfortable should just stop where they are, afterward, just rest on the side where you can't hear the sound!"

The Inheriting Elder said.

"Okay!"

The disciples responded.

Under the leadership of the Inheriting Elder, some people couldn't hold on anymore and lay down, then shifted aside to a semi-underground passage to avoid the whistling winds.

As long as they could not hear the wind sound, the extremely terrifying Divine Soul Attack would not enter their Divine Soul.

On the far right of those ten stone stairs was a very tall semi-underground passage.

Those disciples who had climbed up could quickly descend the mountain through that semi-underground passage.

After a while, some of the disciples couldn't hold on anymore and, as instructed by the Inheriting Elder, quickly ran to hide in the nearby semi-underground passage.

After a while, those disciples reached the nearby underground passage and descended the mountain through it.

Under the leadership of the Inheriting Elder, about a quarter of the disciples ran from the valley to the mountain top.

While the other three-quarters of the disciples couldn't withstand the powerful Divine Soul Attack contained in the whistling winds, they retreated to the nearby semi-underground passage.

"We are going down the mountain!"

The Inheriting Elder then quickly led those disciples who had climbed up the mountain to descend through the underground passage.

They covered half of the journey, meeting up with some disciples who couldn't hold on.

Under the leadership of the Inheriting Elder, the group reached the base of the mountain.

This time, the Inheriting Elder told Duan Gujin and the other disciples who had successfully climbed the mountain, "Come with me, I'm now going to lead you to run up the second mountain."

Under the guidance of the Inheriting Elder, this time, including Duan Gujin, only nine disciples successfully made it through the stone stairs of the second valley.
