Chapter 675: Chapter 9: Golden Que Secret Realm Chapter 675: Chapter 9: Golden Que Secret Realm Although Wei Dongliu was shouting, not all the cultivators from the Demon Cult were listening to him.
A few with hard heads stubbornly insisted on using Sword Control to charge up the path of light, only to immediately meet a fate not unlike the Jade Capital Sect Leader-instantly, as soon as they entered the path of light, they were struck by an equal force of recoil, their heads shattered and bleeding, plummeting downward.
???G0.??
But Qiu Changtian had no time to observe or think anymore…
Xu Yinglian was pulling his hand as they sprinted on the path of light, the two of them running faster and faster, climbing higher and higher, as if the path was an upward-moving escalator.
Soon, the two of them broke through the clouds and surged into the Heavenly Dome.
Above the Heavenly Dome was a complex of palaces, resplendent in gold and jade, looking like a palace atop the clouds, magnificently unparalleled.
Qiu Changtian could confirm that when everyone approached Xihua Mountain on the treasure ship, there was no such palace in the sky.
The higher they climbed, the steeper the path of light beneath their feet became, rising from thirty degrees to fifty degrees, then to seventy…
until at last the two had to cling to the path of light, or else they would surely slide down due to gravity.
Although the path of light seemed intangible, its surface was bright but not slippery, feeling like styrofoam to the touch, with a not insignificant amount of friction.
The only problem was the absence of any handholds for securing oneself.
If the incline continued to increase, the two would sooner or later fall down, thereby losing the opportunity to enter the Golden Que Secret Realm.
“Senior Brother!” Xu Yinglian suddenly said, “If we can’t hold on any longer, I will fall first, and then attack you with the Nine Bushels Thunder Fire Technique from below.

You should block it with the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword and use the recoil force to continue ascending!”
Qiu Changtian nearly spat out blood.
Junior Sister, your Nine Bushels Thunder Fire Technique is immensely powerful; if I were truly foolish enough to absorb it directly with my Flying Sword, would I be ascending to heaven or meeting my end?
Stop having such fanciful ideas, will you!
He thought this to himself, but aloud he said:
“No way!
How could I possibly abandon you!”
“Senior Brother!” Xu Yinglian urgently said, “Rather than both of us failing, it’s better for me to sacrifice myself first!
As long as Senior Brother can successfully enter the Golden Que Secret Realm, at least I will have accounted for our sect!”
When he heard “sacrifice”, Qiu Changtian immediately remembered the foolish act of his junior sister blocking the Sword Qi for him back in the Intercepting Cult Sword Formation.
She couldn’t possibly think that if her sacrifice was for her senior brother, she would somehow exceed me in this aspect, could she?
However, Junior Sister was indeed correct.
If Senior Sister Luo also fails, and Junior Sister and I fall from here without entering the secret realm first, then all three from Kunlun would be outpaced by others.
Moreover, this time there are Demon Cult cultivators involved.
That means the original twelve from the Orthodox Sect were just enough for the numbers of the Golden Que lords, and now someone has to be eliminated.
If all three from Kunlun miss out on the Golden Que and thus bring shame to our sect, that would be the least of my concerns.
What would truly be troublesome is my invincible golden body being broken!
How would I then stand as the leader of the Orthodox Sect and lead the upright path?
People won’t care about the circumstances of the Golden Que Secret Realm; they will only say, “Qiu Changtian had a First Grade Golden Core but was defeated at the entrance of the Golden Que Secret Realm by so-and-so.” My reputation as Senior Brother Qiu will undoubtedly take a severe hit!
Thinking this, Qiu Changtian was about to resign himself to agree, but found he simply couldn’t say the words.
For such a trivial matter, to have Junior Sister Xu make such a sacrifice was not what an invincible character would do!
Absolutely not!
He was just about to refuse when suddenly the path of light tilted to a ninety-degree angle, almost completely perpendicular to the sky and ground.
In such a position, the two of them could no longer hold on to the path and immediately began to fall.
Xu Yinglian suddenly twisted her body, directly activating the Phoenix True Blood and transforming into the Phoenix Dharma Body with a secret technique, intending to catch Qiu Changtian in mid-air.
But as soon as she transformed into the Phoenix, a surging restriction pressed down from above the path of light, quickly slamming the two to the ground!
…
Heaven and earth spun around, followed by the violent sound of plummeting into water.
Qiu Changtian quickly emerged from the water, spitting out several mouthfuls of water before lifting the also submerged Xu Yinglian out of the water.
Falling from the sky into the water didn’t harm a cultivator’s robust body, but the restrictions that had descended at the last moment had clearly caused great damage to Xu Yinglian, who was still unconscious at this time.
After confirming with his divine sense that she wasn’t in any immediate danger, Qiu Changtian picked her up and looked around.
They found themselves in a lotus pond, surrounded by clear and clean water, with the lotus flowers blooming brightly and delightfully.
The surroundings were filled with pavilions and towers of the Immortal Sect style, adorned with gilded eaves and jade balustrades, and exquisitely carved dragons and phoenixes…
Qiu Changtian looked up and saw the sky was clear and cloudless.
That means, Junior Sister Xu and I are most likely above the clouds.
Is this the inside of the Golden Que Secret Realm?
“Yes,” the Kunlun Mirror replied.
“That beam of light was originally carrying you upwards; as long as you endured till the last moment, falling would land you right inside the Golden Que.”
“I see, Ah Jing,” Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
“It’s just that I had no idea about this and was unnecessarily frightened.
So, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Seeing his smile that didn’t reach his eyes, the Kunlun Mirror felt a bit guilty and hastily explained:
“Here’s the thing, I had communicated with the Kunlun Mirrors inside Ling Yunpo and others, and they said that in the future, when you, as Qiu Changtian, entered this secret realm for the first time, indeed you didn’t receive any hints from Ah Jing.”
“So, if I were to give you a tip, wouldn’t I be violating the uniqueness of history?”
“Is that so?” Qiu Changtian asked skeptically.
“Yes,” the Kunlun Mirror replied earnestly.
Although he couldn’t find any evidence, Qiu Changtian couldn’t help but suspect that this broken mirror was observing him…
Was it trying to see if he would abandon and sacrifice Junior Sister Xu in a moment of crisis?
What a joke!
How could I, Qiu Changtian, be such a despicable scoundrel!
He walked out of the lotus pond with Xu Yinglian in his arms, when suddenly a voice rang in his mind:
“Within the Golden Que, the number of people exceeds twelve.”
“Once the requirements are satisfied, twelve Sanctum Lords will be selected.”
Satisfy the requirements?
What does that mean?
The first thing Qiu Changtian thought of was a sort of ‘battle royale’ scenario, where everyone in the Golden Que Secret Realm would fight each other until only twelve remained.
But then, he reconsidered-if it really were that type of scenario, why use the vague phrase “once the requirements are satisfied”?
Why not just say “free elimination until only twelve victors remain”?
He was at a loss but felt the rule might not be as simple as it seemed.
However, what’s more important at the moment is that other cultivators, upon hearing this voice, would definitely think “as long as the number of people is reduced to below twelve,” they would be able to obtain a position as a Sanctum Lord of the Golden Que.
In other words, from now on in this secret realm, everyone other than me and my Daoist companion will be my enemy.
Even the cultivators from Shushan and Penglai…
