After Evander obtained the Ascendant Pill, the atmosphere inside the Bronze Sanctum shifted. Although the pill was gone, countless other treasures remained. The major factions shifted their attention away from the central pillar and spread out, each searching for opportunities of their own.Grace led her group to search for treasures as well, and the results came quickly. Scarlet was the first to find something. She claimed a crimson spear from one of the stone pillars that surpassed her original Wildfire Spear in quality.Not long after, Adam secured a complete set of formation flags along with a manuscript titled Pentarch Binding Field, while Blanche obtained a scripture known as Frostheart Canon, which suited her cultivation.At an ice-blue stone pillar, Albus uncovered a memory crystal containing a sword intent legacy."This memory crystal contains a complete strand of glacial sword intent," he said excitedly. "If I can decipher it, my swordsmanship will advance further."

Evander let out a faint, contemptuous laugh and raised his hand. A streak of golden light shot forward, arriving a split second ahead of Karos to block his path.The golden light collided with the incoming violet lightning, and the impact detonated with a deafening roar. The shockwave swept outward in all directions, rattling the treasures perched atop the surrounding stone pillars.Karos was forced back several steps, his expression turning grim as he steadied himself. "Evander, you may have your family behind you. But if you think you're taking the Ascendant Pill for yourself, you'd better ask the rest of us first."Before he could finish speaking, several leaders from the rogue cultivator alliance closed in. They were not coordinated, but at that moment, they all turned their focus toward the Quinton family."Mr. Quinton, treasures should go to those with the right to claim them. Surely your family doesn't intend to take everything for yourselves," a bald, burly man said with a

Anders lifted his head, his expression layered with conflicting emotions. "Because I'm done being someone else's pawn," he admitted.Then, he laid everything out. He explained the Quinton family's plans, how they had exploited the Moseys, and the situation in which he was trapped.When he finished, he said, "Mr. Rhys, I know you have no reason to trust me. But please give me a chance. I can provide information on the Quinton family. When the time comes, I can turn against them. All I ask is a way out once this is over."Dustin studied him in silence for a long moment. He could tell Anders was speaking the truth. The ambition, the resentment, and the struggle behind it all felt real. However, sincerity didn't make a man trustworthy. Someone like Anders could turn against them the moment it suited him.After a moment, he finally said, "I can pass your message along. But there's something you need to understand."Anders looked up. "Go on.""You want to stop being used and start

After returning to the marketplace, the camp settled into an uneasy calm. Many were relieved to have survived, but no one felt secure about what lay ahead.Grace's group had eleven survivors from the Heartfall Stair, including Scarlet, Adam, Blanche, Albus, Dustin, and five Sovereign Aegis guards with strong resolve. On the Frost family's side, Aveline also made it through, but three of their family members had been left behind on the stairs.Other factions fared worse. The Quinton siblings passed without difficulty, but out of the dozen or so guards they brought, only three survived the climb. The Jornell family lost most of their elite fighters as well, with only a mid-stage Core-Forged cultivator and two others making it through. The Moseys suffered heavy losses as well. Anders made it through, but only four of his men remained."Ascendant Pill…" Grace murmured. "So that's what the Quinton family is really after."Dustin nodded. "For a reclusive family like the Quintons, o

"It's our turn," Grace said, taking a deep breath as she looked at the group. "Remember what Dustin said. Stay sharp. Whatever you see, don't lose yourself."She stepped onto the Heartfall Stair first, followed by Scarlet, Adam, Blanche, Albus, and the others. Dustin stepped on last. Though his cultivation was sealed, his resolve was as strong as anyone else's. The moment his foot touched the stairs, the world around him shifted.He saw Natasha standing not far away, tears in her eyes. Her lips moved as if she were speaking, but no sound reached him."Natasha…" he muttered, his chest tightening.She reached out to him with a pleading look in her eyes. He almost stepped forward, but he quickly stopped himself. Then, he remembered that she was still at the foot of the mountain and couldn't be here.He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, the illusion had vanished, leaving only the stone steps of the Heartfall Stair before him."I've passed the first

On the fifth day, Anders arrived again. This time, he brought important information."In three days, the second trial of Mount Aethermoor will begin," he said, lowering his voice. "Based on information from the Quinton family, the next trial is called the Heartfall Stair. It has 99 steps, and each one forces you to face your inner demons. Only those who reach the top can proceed to the next stage."Grace and Dustin exchanged a glance before asking, "Where is it located?"Anders pointed toward the northeast, beyond the marketplace. "It's about 15 miles from here. There is a place called Stormspire Arena. That's where the entrance is. When the time comes, every faction planning to continue upward will gather there."He paused briefly, then added in a more deliberate tone, "However, the arena itself is also a trial. The wind and lightning there never let up. One mistake is enough to get you killed. "And with so many factions converging, competition for position will be unavoidable
