A life of clearness

Chapter 540 Strike up a conversation
"I lost."

The hand holding the chess piece hesitated for a moment, and finally put the chess piece back into the chess cup, and she lowered her head in admission of defeat.

"Concession."

Yuan Cheng also bowed his head in return.

The winner was decided, and between the two people kneeling opposite each other, the chess pieces scattered all over the chessboard fell back into the cup like tired birds returning to the forest.

Rong Qing and Yuan Cheng fought for four days in this game of chess, until they had no more moves to make. She knew that Yuan Cheng had shown mercy many times in these four days, otherwise the game would have ended long ago and would not have been so stalemate until now.

Yuan Cheng asked calmly, "We have already arrived at the Falling Star Realm. There are many people outside, do you want to go out now, or wait until the inheritance begins?"

Rong Qing was quite surprised to hear that.

These ten days were extremely peaceful, not to mention dangerous.

She was originally still unsatisfied with playing chess, but now she was anxious to leave the space inside the Phoenix Emperor's body to see what was happening in the Falling Star World.

"Let's go out and take a look now. After all, the journey is long and it's not easy to come here." She replied immediately.

Since the quota has been determined, it is rare that I can look at the secret realm with a relaxed attitude without having to bear huge pressure.

"it is good."

Yuan Cheng nodded and took Rong Qing's wrist through her sleeve.

With just one easy step, the two of them left the Phoenix's body and came to the outside world.

"This gravity is too weak..." Rong Qing looked up at the sea above.

The sea was calm and boundless, blocking everyone's view upwards.

This was the secret realm outside the world. It was the first time Rong Qing had seen it.

Although she has been to many secret realms, they were all secret realms within the realm. In terms of mystery, they were far inferior to the formed secret realms in the universe.

"The Falling Star Realm was originally a spiritual world, but was torn into thousands of pieces after being involved in a war. This continental fragment contained the Qiu Sang inheritance, so Yan Bo Ting kept it properly after obtaining it. Every time there is a quota for inheritance, except for those that have been reserved, it will be released for Beitian monks to compete. Most of the monks you see have purchased the qualification to enter the Falling Star Realm from Yan Bo Ting."

Rong Qing thought for a moment, "Qualifications are just qualifications, not quotas."

Judging from the number of people gathered here, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people, and it is still increasing... More and more cultivators are constantly flying into the Falling Star Realm.

Yuan Cheng said indifferently: "Indeed, we only give them the qualification to participate in the competition. Whether they can get a place depends on their luck."

"How much does it cost to purchase the qualification?" She suddenly became curious.

"One hundred million Tongbao."

"Oh." Rong Qing nodded calmly.

She was stunned in her heart. One hundred million Tongbao! All her liquidated assets were less than one hundred million Tongbao!
This is just to buy an entry qualification. Looking at the competition ratio, 99% of people will lose this huge amount of money.

"This price is not expensive." Yuan Cheng explained softly: "Although the Qiu Sang inheritance is a title inheritance, its value is not too high, one hundred million Tongbao is about the same. Some title inheritances are not only extremely valuable in themselves, but also have a small number of inheritances. In addition, the number of admission qualifications sold is deliberately controlled, so trillions of Tongbao is just the reserve price of the auction."

Rong Qing: I am short-sighted.

The two stood in the air, surrounded by groups of monks.

Some were in groups of three or five, some were large teams of hundreds or thousands, and some even had teams of tens of thousands. They kept a safe distance from each other, and the atmosphere of anxiety was faintly pervasive.

Rong Qing looked at them, and they were also paying attention to Rong Qing and Yuan Cheng, either openly or secretly.

Who could fail to notice a phoenix so huge that it could block out the sun and the sky?
After entering the Falling Star Realm, he domineeringly occupied the most central position, and his tyrannical pressure forced other cultivators to stay away from him.

No one is stupid. If you can't afford to offend someone who has a very powerful background, can you just avoid him? Who would be so blind as to go up and make a scene?

"Fellow Daoist Shen, what do you think our chances of winning are now?" Ji Tao asked via voice transmission.

Now that he was in a large team of more than 20,000 people, he felt a great sense of security. Just now, he followed Shen Que'an to pay a visit to the leader of the team, a five-decline female cultivator from the Venerable Realm.

Although the commander was not from the Five Stars of the Zun Realm, he was also from a big family in the Zun Realm.

"Odds of winning?" Shen Que'an said with a sigh, "It depends on how many inheritance towers we can occupy in the end."

"No, I'm just a little worried. Will there be a chance in the end..."

After all, there are many teams with tens of thousands of people. Even if they are lucky enough to occupy a heritage tower, it will probably be given to the female commander.

Shen Que'an couldn't help but laugh with some sarcasm: "Even if there is no chance, given the commander's generosity, there will be benefits for you and me. Why should Fellow Daoist Ji worry?"

"Ah, yes, yes..." Ji Tao smiled apologetically, pretending not to notice the other party's sarcasm.

At this moment, the female leader at the center of the team suddenly flew to where everyone's attention was focused.

"Hey, this is it?"

Shen Que'an's eyes flashed: "It seems that the commander recognized those two important figures."

Yan Bo Ting has internally decided on some of the places for inheritance this time. Some of these bigwigs who have been confirmed to have the places are very low-key, while others are completely unimpressive and make a high-profile appearance.

This was the case with the man and woman who possessed the royal beast-level phoenix. The phoenix had been taken away since it appeared. They seemed to be very confident in their own strength and did not care at all whether the royal beast was guarding them closely by their side.

The same was true for another person who possessed a strange snake. He arrived in the Falling Star World right after the Phoenix, and he was able to travel everywhere without reporting any problems.

The one who came out of the strange snake's mouth was a female cultivator with a weak temperament, weak aura, and vulnerable. After entering the Falling Star Realm, she immediately collected the strange snake.

But no one dared to provoke her, not even one approached her. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary, maybe she is more cruel than anyone else under the weak surface.

……

Rong Qing's eyes quickly swept over the cultivators in all directions. There were too many people, and it was extremely challenging for her experience and intuition to find something unusual among so many people.

The lone ranger is often very vivid, especially a weak female cultivator who looks like a noble lady in the mortal world.

So weak. Rong Qing thought. Judging from her aura, she must have reached the state of spiritualization, but her pressure was so weak. Was she serious? And seeing that everyone else was staying away from her, not daring to provoke her at all, could it be that there was something I hadn't noticed?
Just when Rong Qing was about to ask Yuan Cheng who the female cultivator was, she saw a bright-looking female cultivator flying towards her with a clear target.

"Greetings, His Highness Daozi." She smiled brightly. As a cultivator of the Five Decay Stage, she bowed to the cultivator of the Transformation Stage with great ease and willingness.

She stood up and smiled and nodded at Rong Qing: "Greetings, Lady."

Then she looked at Yuan Cheng, to avoid embarrassment if he didn't recognize her, she simply introduced herself: "I am Amei from the Li family. Last time your Highness came to our clan's temple, Amei had the honor of seeing your Highness's true face. I didn't expect to see your Highness here again today. I am overjoyed. I hope your Highness can forgive Amei's abrupt behavior."

Rong Qing watched Li Mei smiling calmly from the side. In fact, the villain deep down inside had already started rubbing his hands together. Was there something to see?
