What, you said the senior didn’t even take the stage, so why did he perform the best?
Good question.
He didn’t know either.
But what he could be sure of was that he should be able to follow behind the senior and walk sideways in this Secret Realm.
...
In the subsequent challenges.
He easily crushed through them, almost all were the sa scenes. Theoretically speaking, the opponents in each level had a great chance of winning as they were perfectly adapted to the challenges.
Then, in the excitent of the opponents.
The senior sent out five disciples with special identities, easily winning the challenges.
Until the ninth challenge, which was also easily passed.
The "Giant Team" beca the only team to pass the ninth level, and would have priority in the upcoming "Masked Banquet."
At this ti, all teams reassembled at the giant Green Stone Square where they began, ready to enter the upcoming banquet.
And at this mont.
Almost everyone looked at Ba Dan’s party with complex expressions, for many had discovered that among the 45 special identities in the "Ascension Conference," all of them were in Ba Dan’s team.
This can’t just be explained by luck anymore, can it?
It’s obviously cheating.
But now that the challenges are over, saying such things is aningless, especially since the first nine levels were just entertainnt and not considered a major fortune. This "Masked Banquet" is the first major opportunity.
And those special identities are no longer useful after the challenges.
Just at that mont—
A stick of incense suddenly appeared out of thin air above the Green Stone Square, signaling that the Masked Banquet would begin when it burned out.
"..."
In the crowd, Chen Qiu was silently tallying up his rewards. Despite it being after the entertainnt challenges, the rewards were still decent, especially the reward for the ninth level, which was a "Top-Grade Cultivation Card!"
It could directly increase his Cultivation Progress by 40%.
Because he was the best perforr, he was given an extra card.
Without hesitation, he used these two Cultivation Cards imdiately, bringing his cultivation to—
-
"Cultivation": Crossing Tribulation Seventh Layer (80.5%).
-
Don’t be fooled by just the 80% cultivation progress; for him, this progress was exactly what he was lacking. To break from the Crossing Tribulation Seventh Layer cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Peak was a long path, and even reaching the Heavenly Immortal Peak would not allow him to face the Heavenly Dao directly.
...
At this mont—
In the sky above the Green Stone Square, a little girl hidden at high altitude was quietly communicating with Xiao Shuai below: "So, is the senior satisfied?"
She was sweating all over, more exhausted than she had ever been.
In the past, hosting the Secret Realm was entirely random; this ti, she had to choose one by one, which was draining!
Moreover, to make sure the senior won thrillingly, she deliberately set the senior’s opponents as teams with great advantages in those challenges so that the senior, using special identities to win, would feel more satisfied.
Also, it could better highlight the effect of special identities.
Of course, it also highlighted her role.
But all these maneuvers were exhausting, making her slightly breathless.
"Satisfied."
Xiao Shuai carefully looked towards Chen Qiu and then continued communicating with the Artifact Spirit of the Secret Realm: "Keep it up like this, there should be no problems. After this ends, I’ll take you out of here first thing."
"Okay!"
The little girl on the Green Stone Square, hearing this, nodded excitedly and energetically, feeling vigorous again with anxiety gone. This was her first encounter with her kindred, and the trust that ca with such communication made her very excited.
...
About an hour later.
The stick of incense in the sky above the Green Stone Square had burned out, simultaneously indicating that the Masked Banquet was about to start.
The entire Green Stone Square suddenly began to spin rapidly, and soon after, with incredible speed, it shot off into the distance.
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The people staying on the Green Stone Square suddenly found themselves enveloped in the utmost pitch-blackness, which at so point had turned into blinding bright light, and the Green Stone Square had stopped spinning, rushing rapidly through this endless, blinding light!
They did not know the destination.
Nor did they know where this place was.
If not for feeling the high-speed movent of the Green Stone Square, without any reference points, it would have been hard to tell if the Green Stone Square was moving or stationary.
"..."
Unlike the unease and chatter of others on the Green Stone Square, Chen Qiu just quietly watched the scene before him. He couldn’t be more familiar with where this was.
It was Nihility.
Looking back now, one could still see a shrinking patch of pitch-black, which was the Heavenly Dao Shackles of the "Tidal Immortal Realm."
Back to Nihility again.
It seems the "Ascension Conference" in this Secret Realm is also deep in Nihility.
Theoretically, he could even see his Taunting Heaven Palace in Nihility, but only theoretically. Although both were in Nihility, no one knew the distance between them; he was entirely bound to Taunting Heaven Palace.
But at this ti, he couldn’t feel Taunting Heaven Palace at all, aning the distance between him and Taunting Heaven Palace was still very far.
...
"Phew..."
At this ti—
Deep in an unbothered corner, the Seventh Prince, covered in wounds, was clenching his teeth tightly, curled up in a cave within a cliff, listening to the footsteps above and countless roars.
He tried to remain as silent as possible.
The cloak covering him protected him from being discovered by Divine Sense.
His master had left him a Sound Transmission Stone when departing, to contact him in life-threatening situations, but repeated attempts had failed, aning he had to rely on himself now.
He was located in "Xuantian State" of the Vast Continent, having obtained a Supre Treasure in a Secret Realm, which drew the envy of his companion. His companion was smart, not acting personally, but reporting to his family, letting them send soone to act.
The betrayal of his companion didn’t surprise him much.
This kind of event was normal.
The only thing he was sowhat resentful of was that the Supre Treasure was incredibly useful to his master. If he died, it didn’t matter, but if the treasure was stolen, he truly died with regret.
But... unable to contact his master now, and with no way to hide here for long, he estimated he would soon be discovered. The next step was to leave his fate to the heavens.
