After settling the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Zhao Xiaodong let out a long breath, turned to look at Yu Changsheng and the others, nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"I won't say too many words of thanks for today. Just be careful on your journey from now on. Rankings and such are not important. Your safety is the most important thing."

Yu Changsheng nodded gently: "I will be more careful. It's alright, don't worry."

Zhao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, looking at Yu Changsheng's relaxed expression, and then at Chilian Yulong and Caixinglu beside him. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped, and finally just nodded slightly without saying anything more.

He shook his head inwardly with a sigh, but smiled and said, "That's true. With your current strength, as long as nothing unexpected happens, you can practically do whatever you want in this secret realm."

"The only people you need to be careful of are those from the Xuan Yin Sect. Also, be wary of those brats from the Ling Long Sect."

"Okay," Yu Changsheng said softly.

Zhao Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, then patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder.

"Lin Wang and Ling Tianyi entered from Tianjiao Mountain to the east, which is the entrance to the third level of the secret realm. It is rumored that a supreme treasure has appeared there, and the two of them were the first to go and check it out."

"If you're interested, you can try to compete for it, but as I said before, you can't force it. There are geniuses from all the sects there, and quite a few Golden Core cultivators. Your own safety is the most important thing."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, touched his nose, and subconsciously asked, "Supreme Treasure, what is that?"

In the cultivation world, there are many treasures, but those that can be called supreme treasures are extremely rare.

"I don't know the specifics," Zhao Xiaodong pondered. "It seems to be the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus, in which..."

Zhao Xiaodong swallowed hard, a look of confusion and doubt on his face, and said:

"I've heard that this Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus is formed from the core of the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, and it contains the only Heavenly Dao Qi in the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm. It's just a pity that such a thing is not something I can even dream of."

"Judging by the timeline, it should bloom in the next couple of days."

After saying this, Zhao Xiaodong sighed helplessly, gave a few more instructions, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yu Changsheng, and chose to teleport away.

"Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus..."

Watching Zhao Xiaodong's figure gradually disappear, Yu Changsheng remained silent, lost in thought.

Yu Changsheng was no stranger to the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus. It was said that this thing was a supreme treasure in the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, and it might not appear even once every thousand or ten thousand years. It was said to be a lotus of the Great Dao, formed from the blood and fiend energy that had been gathered in the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm for thousands of years. If a cultivator consumed it, it would have endless wonderful uses.

Its enhancement to the physical body, cultivation level, and soul is unparalleled. It also has the effect of reshaping bones and muscles. If taken by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, one can break through to the Golden Core stage in no time. If taken by a Golden Core cultivator, one's cultivation level can also be greatly improved.

This alone is enough to drive all cultivators mad and make them yearn for it to the extreme.

What shocked Yu Changsheng the most was not just these things, but what Zhao Xiaodong said about the Heavenly Dao Qi contained within them.

The Qi of Heaven is formless and intangible, and its function is quite simple: to improve the quality of the Golden Elixir and enhance the potential of the Great Dao.

"Go and see. There are countless paths in this world, and all sorts of strange and wonderful treasures can naturally exist here." The ancient voice of the Xuan Turtle echoed in my mind at just the right moment, carrying a touch of emotion.

"If this Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus were just ordinary, although it would still be a treasure, it wouldn't be worth the risk. However, in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, so many years have passed, and countless lives have been lost here over the long years."

"In a sense, it is already close to a small world. If that's the case, although it's impossible for the Heavenly Dao to be born in it, the Qi of the Heavenly Dao is indeed possible."

"The Qi of Heaven is formless and invisible, and it is related to a world. At this critical juncture, if it is most likely, this Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus may indeed contain the Qi of Heaven?"

The black tortoise spoke slowly and deliberately, its tone languid.

"Such a treasure as the Qi of Heaven is only available to the true holy lands, sects, and prestigious families of the cultivation world. They have the strength to plant it on the golden core of their descendants, thus forging their future path to unparalleled enlightenment."

"It is said that the founder of the Xuan Yin Sect obtained a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, which is what forged his later glorious achievements."

"Now that countless years have passed, it is quite possible that a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi will be generated again."

Yu Changsheng's gaze narrowed slightly, his lips pursed, and a slight ripple stirred in his heart.

The black tortoise paused for a moment, then spoke softly again:

"With your nine-layered spiritual platform, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that you can condense a Heavenly Dao Golden Core. However, your Heavenly Dao Golden Core lacks a true Heavenly Dao element. Even if you manage to condense it, it will still be somewhat lacking."

"If you can truly obtain the Qi of Heaven and integrate it, not only will you be able to condense the Heavenly Dao Golden Core with 100% success, but it will also have indescribable benefits for your future breakthroughs in cultivation."

"The Heavenly Dao Golden Core that it condenses is far more powerful than that of ordinary ones. In fact, in the face of truly powerful forces, the Heavenly Dao Qi is originally prepared for the chosen ones of the ninth level of the spiritual platform within their own ranks. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late even if you encounter it in the future."

"In the entire Martial Continent, even within the Xuan Yin Sect, apart from the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, I cannot imagine any other place that could possess such a supreme treasure."

"Whether you go or not is up to you."

The Xuan Turtle's words were concise and clear. After speaking, it did not say anything more. After all, such a treasure would inevitably cause a tremor throughout the entire Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, with countless geniuses going there to compete for it. The dangers involved were obvious.

"The Qi of Heaven...?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng pondered for a long time, his eyes flashing with a dark light.

After weighing the options in my mind, I took a deep breath and smiled to myself, already having found the answer.

Just then, Zhang Tianwen and the others came to their senses. After hesitating for a moment, they looked at Yu Changsheng, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Now, in the entire Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm, only a few of us from the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect remain. Changsheng, if you have any ideas, then go ahead."

Zhang Tianwen smiled, glanced back at Shen Xingchen and Li Minghan, and said, "We also have our own things to do, and we want to go out and explore on our own to see if there are any other opportunities."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, his eyes darted around, he swallowed hard, and looking at the group, he felt a surge of emotion. Finally, he opened his mouth, nodded, and spoke softly:

"Alright then, take care on your journey."

Yu Changsheng understood that Zhang Tianwen and the others were worried that continuing to follow him would only become a burden and get in his way, which was why they took the initiative to suggest this.

Zhang Tianwen and his companions knew that if Yu Changsheng wanted to compete for the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus, the enemies he would face would likely all be at the Golden Core level.

Although Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen, when they unleashed their full power, possessed the strength to fight against a Golden Core cultivator, it was ultimately too much for them. Therefore, in order not to hold Yu Changsheng back and to allow him to act without worry, the group unanimously decided not to continue following him, lest Yu Changsheng have too many concerns and become hesitant.

Yu Changsheng understood this, so he didn't object further. After bowing and clasping his hands in a salute, he nodded and said:

"Alright, you can proceed on your own. Be careful and try to stay on this second floor as much as possible. If you feel it's enough, just teleport away."

"Okay, go ahead and do your best. Your safety is the most important thing."

Zhang Tianwen nodded and smiled.

Yu Changsheng said no more, gave the group a deep look, turned around, found his direction, and transformed into a long rainbow, speeding away and quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Ugh."

Watching Yu Changsheng's departing figure, Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen exchanged a glance, looked at each other, and then shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"Time flies like a dream. This kid hasn't been cultivating for very long, how come he's progressed so quickly? It's only been a short time, and we can't even keep up with him anymore."

Zhang Tianwen spoke with a sigh, his tone filled with regret.

"Who can argue with that? We need to work harder too, so we don't fall too far behind him."

Shen Xingchen shook his head helplessly and chuckled.

"Yes," Zhang Tianwen coughed lightly, "I plan to try to break through to the Golden Core stage after the Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm ends. I've been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for a while now."

"Oh?" Shen Xingchen raised an eyebrow, but wasn't surprised. She smiled and said, "So, you have no idea about that Fiend Golden Lotus?"

"Yes," Zhang Tianwen waved his hand and shook his head, shrugged and smiled, "but what can you do even if you have ideas? There are countless people who want to fight for such a treasure. Going there to establish your foundation is just courting death."

"Besides, Changsheng is also there. If we are destined to get it in the end, and Changsheng needs it, what will you do? You know Changsheng's personality. If we go together, and he gets the Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus in the end, he will probably share some with us."

Zhang Tianwen smiled, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, his voice as thin as a thread, slowly echoing:

"We've already had an incredible stroke of luck to obtain the Chimei Finger. We can't afford to have any more ideas. Improving our own strength is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingchen remained silent for a moment. After a long while, he shook his head, smiled, and nodded, saying, "What you said is true, that's indeed the case."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. They're all from our Myriad Manifestations Sect. It's a good thing that Changsheng has such strength. I hope everything goes well for him."

Li Minghan stepped forward at the opportune moment, patting the two men on the shoulders and chuckling. A fleeting look of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he concealed it well.

"I can't fall too far behind..."

……

Mountains and trees flashed past beneath his feet. Yu Changsheng remained calm as his body sped along, transforming into a streak of rainbows soaring into the sky, flying in the direction Zhao Xiaodong had indicated.

"The Heavenly Fiend Golden Lotus, imbued with the aura of Heaven, the appearance of such a supreme treasure will surely shake all the powerful experts in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm."

"I was wondering why, after all this time, apart from the Dark Current People and Blood Refiner, I haven't seen a single Golden Core cultivator from any other sects. Turns out they've all been absorbed."

Yu Changsheng pondered incessantly, his gaze deep and unfathomable, when the evil aura tablet in his arms trembled, a blazing heat flashing within it.

"The Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm is entering its final week."

"The ranking of the evil energy points is now being published in real time."

A vast, slightly mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out from the evil aura tablet. Immediately afterward, the blood-red tablet trembled, and the information on it rapidly changed.

Yu Changsheng was taken aback. He focused his attention and gently merged his divine sense into it. Instantly, a list-like light screen formed by streams of information appeared in his mind.

"Ranking of Killing Power"

"First place: Qiu Xing (Xuan Yin Sect), 46000 points of evil energy."

"Second place: Yama (Xuanyin Sect), 43000 evil energy points."

"Third place: He Bicheng (Xuanyin Sect), evil energy points, 40000."

Fourth place: Wuya (a rogue cultivator), 36000 points of evil energy.

Fifth place: Wen Hanhai (Zihongmen), 35000 points of evil energy.

……

Lines of information flooded into Yu Changsheng's mind. Yu Changsheng frowned slightly. The rankings displayed on the list were not all of them, but only the top 100. The names of the top ten were also specially bolded, making them very eye-catching on the list.

These top ten are also the focus of everyone's attention in this Heavenly Fiend Secret Realm.

"Seventh place: Qian Chengren (Seven Star Gate), evil energy points, 27000."

"Eighth place: Chen Haolan (Overlord Sect), Fiend Qi Points, 23000."

"Ninth place: Wang Haiyang (Cang Lei Sect), Fiend Qi Points, 18000."

As Yu Changsheng frowned, his gaze shifted downwards, and his expression subtly changed. He seemed somewhat surprised.

But then I saw that at the very end of the top ten, Yu Changsheng's name shone brightly.

"10th place: Yu Changsheng (Wanxiang Sect), Fiend Qi Points, 12000."

As for the subsequent rankings, Yu Changsheng only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them.

"The top three spots on the list are all taken by the Xuan Yin Sect. As expected, the Xuan Yin Sect does have some reason to be arrogant."

Yu Changsheng regained his composure, took a deep breath, and was secretly surprised. He muttered to himself as information about these people appeared in his mind.

Those who made it into the top ten were naturally the most outstanding geniuses from their respective sects. Although Yu Changsheng hadn't met any of them, he had heard about them.

Among them, the most eye-catching is naturally Qiu Xing, who ranks first. He is the chief senior brother of the Evil Mountain lineage of the Xuan Yin Sect. He had already entered the Golden Core realm ten years ago.

His cultivation has now reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Moreover, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm long ago, and he already had the strength to kill Golden Core cultivators of a higher level. Now, his strength will only become more terrifying and unfathomable.

Furthermore, due to his ruthless methods and unpredictable magic, he was feared by many and was known as the evil senior brother.

As for the rest, Foundation Establishment cultivators are rare, while Golden Core cultivators are common. However, even those at Foundation Establishment possess combat power comparable to Golden Core cultivators, and should not be underestimated.

People from the three sects occupy most of the top ten list, which shows the difference in their background.

Surpassing them won't be that easy.

Yu Changsheng thought to himself. (End of Chapter)
