Chapter 685: Chapter 19 Round 1 successfully concluded Chapter 685: Chapter 19 Round 1 successfully concluded Qiu Changtian, An Zhisu, Shi Liuli.
The three of them stayed in the attic of the Golden Que, gradually running out of things to say.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Qiu Changtian felt restless as he thought to himself that the woman to his left and the woman to his right were both his wives, yet they couldn’t recognize him at all.
Face to face, yet unable to acknowledge each other, such was the pain of being a spy with many faces!
Who could understand my pain?
A mask of suffering slowly appeared on his face.
Seeing his troubled expression, Shi Liuli and An Zhisu thought he must be worried about whether his Daoist companion, Xu Yinglian, could pass the trial.
They thought of their own spouses (Ling Yunpo/Luo Yan) who loved them deeply, which warmed their hearts, and their impression of Qiu Changtian improved even more.
Not long after, another person was led into the attic by a true immortal, the red-haired, double-pupiled Demon Lord Wei Dongliu.
He emitted an aura of death, and his demonic flames reached the skies.
Upon entering, he sat in a corner, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
An Zhisu’s brows furrowed instinctively, her body ready to react to the demonic Qi that emanated from him, as if she was about to draw her sword the next second.
Fortunately, she ultimately did not draw her sword; otherwise, Qiu Changtian wouldn’t know how to separate the two… But could Senior Sister An defeat my Great Demon Lord Wei?

Soon, more people arrived: Xu Yinglian, Luo Yan, Ling Yunpo, Luo Baiyuan, and Shushan’s Jinghua, along with three others from the Demon Cult… Huh, Wen Yang?
This guy must have achieved Core Formation at the speed of light, right?
Oh, right, it had been quite a while since Wei Dongliu switched to Qiu Changtian’s line.
It wouldn’t be strange for Wen Yang to achieve Core Formation after being heavily nurtured by the Honored White Bone during this time.
If I had an immortal as a master, I’d form a Nascent Soul in a minute, alright?
Qiu Changtian looked closely and saw that among those who had obtained a position in the Golden Que, there were eight from the Orthodox Sect and four from the Demon Cult.
???G?.??
Overall, it seemed that the Orthodox Sect still had the advantage, unable to monopolize the secret realm, but not at a disadvantage either.
However, thinking carefully, there were three of my avatars and three wives in the Orthodox Sect; there was only one avatar in the Demon Cult.
If we subtract the factors related to me, it means the Orthodox Sect only had two people, while the Demon Cult had actually sent three on their own!
In terms of actual combat power, the Demon Cult might be stronger.
Looking at the Orthodox Sect, there were three from Kunlun, three from Shushan, and two from Penglai.
It was not surprising that the Tian Lan immortal had not been selected; Penglai Cultivators mostly had a scholarly air to them and seldom excelled at schemes and calculations.
But with six people from Shushan entering, and only three being successful, merely matching Kunlun, one couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless.
Once all twelve were assembled, a loud bell tolled from within the secret realm, and divine music and wonderful singing could be heard endlessly:
“… Clouds pass over the North Sea, the edge of the rain reaches the Southern Ming.
Black evil serves as the central restriction, the celestial tent descends to the imperial camp.
Spirit officials hold the jade seal, Tai Yi presents the golden banner…”
When the chanting ended, everyone was quickly sent out of the secret realm, back to the summit of Xihua Mountain.
At the summit altar, the forces of the Orthodox and Demon factions were still battling it out.
Each time someone was teleported out, they were retrieved by the powerful beings of their respective factions.
The moment Qiu Changtian appeared, he was scooped up by the Chi Song Immortal into his sleeve, then thrown into the Kunlun faction.
“You all did very well this time.” Seeing that Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian, and Luo Baiyuan all successfully passed the trial, the Ziwei Master was clearly pleased and spoke with words of commendation and praise.
Turning to Shushan, seeing that they dispatched six but only three entered, the Ziwei Master was even more delighted.
Looking over at Shushan, the Jade Capital Sect Leader’s face was as calm as still water, showing neither sorrow nor joy.
In contrast, the three Shushan immortals who entered the secret realm but failed the trial looked extremely disgruntled, as if they had suffered a great humiliation and couldn’t wait to find an opportunity for revenge.
Far away, the Honored White Bone’s demonic might was overwhelming, as he sent a boundless grey fog towards them again.
Wherever it passed, six or seven mountains, as well as their flora, rotted and wilted, the poison within extremely fierce.
Qiu Changtian watched in shock, thinking that when immortals fought with their spells, the residual waves could easily affect an area with a radius of tens of miles.
It was all too exaggerated.
If that move struck him, he reckoned that unless Ah Jing teleported him away to escape, he would not have any means to cope with it.
Turning to look at Chi Song Immortal, he only saw him casually use the Sleeve Universe, which, like a dragon drinking water, directly swept all the spreading grey fog that spanned several mountain heads into his sleeve, turning it to nothingness.
“Han Yuan has been rescued as well!” reminded the Ziwei Master.
“Then let’s be going!” Chi Song Immortal laughed heartily.
With that, those from Kunlun began to retreat from the battlefield.
The Blood Sea Ancestor still wanted to stop them and used the Blood Sea Trapping Immortal Sword to attack, but Chi Song Immortal threw out a Jade Ruyi, blocking it and allowing the Ziwei Master to escape with the three True Ones.
After retreating to Kunlun, Chi Song Immortal called the three over to inquire about the specific secret phrases they had heard inside the Golden Que Secret Realm.
“Clouds pass over the North Sea, rain reaches the Southern Ming…” He pondered for a moment, then said, “Could it be in the sea?”
“Changgeng, what do you think?”
Qiu Changtian also pondered for a moment, then said:
“Perhaps we might consult True Person Dong You.”
Xu Yinglian frowned slightly to the side.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, the opponent’s art of calculation was indeed formidable, and if the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm really was in the sea, then unless it was in the Southern Sea, they couldn’t avoid dealing with Penglai.
“Very well,” Chi Song Immortal said with a slight smile.
“Regardless of its location, the next secret realm will inevitably require Nascent Soul Realm to participate, which is still too early for you.”
“Let’s not rush this matter.
If I remember correctly, Han Yuan, you’re about to reach Nascent Infant.
You can go to Fenbao Rock to choose a magical treasure to help you withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Changgeng, Qiong Ying, you have just entered the Golden Core Realm, Root Seeking Rank.
It’s reasonable to say that you should solidify your cultivation level and not continue to pursue rapid progress, as that would be the safer strategy.”
“However, the situation in the world is becoming increasingly complicated, and seeking stability may not be the appropriate approach.”
“You two go to Penglai and ask the Wan Xiang Immortal for root-seeking secret medicine…
just tell him to use the favor he owes Chi Song for repayment.”
“Yes,” Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian, knowing that this was a reward for the Golden Que Secret Realm, agreed in unison.
After leaving the Heaven’s Gate Hall of Kunlun, Xu Yinglian casually mentioned:
“I still remember the last time we went to Penglai, Shi Liuli was jealous over my senior brother…
and now she is so completely different from before, it’s really strange.”
Qiu Changtian, understanding the probing tone in her voice, quickly explained:
“Her art calculation abilities are indeed formidable.
My previous recommendation of her to Chi Song Immortal was purely out of public spirit, without any other implications.”
“I didn’t say senior brother had any other implications,” Xu Yinglian immediately denied.
No other implications?
With my junior sister’s competitive nature, hearing me praise another woman, it would be strange if there were no other implications.
Qiu Changtian tried to smooth things over indirectly:
“Penglai is renowned for its unique skills, but in terms of deep cultivation, it’s still not comparable to our Kunlun.”
“Hmph,” Xu Yinglian thought of how Shi Liuli had managed to enter the pavilion before her in the Golden Que Secret Realm, and a multitude of grievances filled her mind anew.
But with her senior brother consoling her, she forcibly suppressed her resentment and resolved to diligently practice her Daoist magic.
She couldn’t let Shi Liuli outdo her elsewhere.
