A daily divination, from family tortoise shells to immortal clans.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Qingmo did not head in the direction the six people had left.

At this moment, the other party is in the open while he is in the shadows. Making some arrangements and waiting for the other party to come to him is the best option.

Judging from the situation where the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator had his points taken away, the six of them should still be searching for the cultivator's coordinates in the token.

After a moment's thought, Chen Qingmo sped off in the opposite direction.

With eight days left until the end of the competition, he should take this opportunity to gain as many points as possible.

Inside an unnamed mountain peak in the Cloud Lotus Secret Realm.

After transferring the points from the token held by the monster's corpse in front of him to his own token, Chen Qingmo glanced warily into the depths of the mountain.

Just now, he vaguely sensed the aura of what seemed to be a third-tier demonic beast.

This situation shocked him greatly. Although the Yuanjian Sect did not allow cultivators from various families to use treasures belonging to the Golden Core stage, it had arranged for third-tier demonic beasts to be in the secret realm.

Whether it was an oversight by the sect or intentional, Chen Qingmo was not sure.

But he stopped in his tracks and didn't dare go any further.

Chen Qingmo didn't know if the elders of the Yuanjian Sect had the means to see what was happening inside the secret realm, so he couldn't reveal the Nanhua Sword Talisman he had, and Sang Que had to stay in the spirit beast bag.

Outside the Cloud Lotus Secret Realm, inside the Yuan Sword Sect.

Xiao Wujian looked at the scroll in his hand with a surprised expression.

Chen Qingmo was currently ranked first with 68 points, far exceeding everyone else.

"Senior brother, could it be that Chen Qingmo has found a treasure trove within the secret realm? But I remember there should be a third-tier demonic beast guarding it."

Du Tang was right next to Xiao Wujian, and he was also shocked when he saw the rankings on the scroll.

The third-tier demonic beast arranged by the Yuanjian Sect was not strong; if several Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators joined forces, they would be able to defeat it.

The token on this monster is worth a full 500 points; with this token, it's almost a sure thing to take first place.

"This third-tier demon is lazy. It probably became somewhat lax after being put in, which is why Chen Qingmo was able to take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, the points tokens around here wouldn't be so easy to obtain."

Xiao Wujian calmly analyzed that he had not sensed the appearance of any Golden Core stage treasures from the scroll.

The tokens held by the cultivators of each family are not only used to collect points, but also as a means to monitor everyone.

Anyone who uses a Golden Core stage technique will be detected by the token and immediately teleported outside the secret realm.

Only the elders of the Yuanjian Sect knew about their conversation. Everyone else, whether they were sect disciples or family cultivators, could not see anything and could only wait quietly for the outcome.

"He's lucky to have this opportunity, but there's more than one treasure trove within the secret realm. Let's see if he can maintain his number one position."

Xiao Wujian smiled lightly and said no more.

Yuanjian Sect would naturally not put all its points around third-tier demonic beasts, otherwise someone with good luck could directly take first place, but luck is indeed part of their assessment.

Within the Cloud Lotus Secret Realm.

"It's a pity I can't use this third-tier demonic beast to defeat the He family, the Lü family, and the other six people. Otherwise, I could have reaped the benefits without lifting a finger."

Chen Qingmo sighed. The existence of the token meant that he could not hide himself.

Once the He family and others appear within ten miles of him, they will discover his whereabouts. Anyone secretly hiding nearby will inevitably be found and dealt with by them first.

Chen Qingmo glanced once more into the depths of the valley before turning and leaving.

However, he did not go too far, but instead searched the vicinity for monsters and spiritual plants that carried points.

There were many tokens in this large area, and he obtained fifty-six points in three hours, far exceeding what he had earned in the previous two days.

Chen Qingmo was very happy. If this momentum continued, he could gain several hundred points within a few days.

This level of skill is probably comparable to the combined scores of the other six Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, provided that they don't encounter the same situation as him.

That night, Chen Qingmo sat cross-legged beside a huge rock.

During the day, the token in his hand did not reveal the coordinates of any cultivator, which meant that there was no one in his direction for the time being.

But he was afraid that the third-tier demonic beast would appear outside the valley at night, and if he really encountered it, he wouldn't be able to defeat it alone.

Therefore, Chen Qingmo chose to take a break for the time being.

At midnight, he glanced at the hexagram in his mind.

[The divination result has been updated!]

[Today's Divination - Ominous]: You are surrounded and intercepted, and forced to enter the territory of a third-tier monster. After being injured, your points are taken away.

Below this hexagram is another hexagram that appeared before the secret realm opened.

[Hexagram 64, Number 41: Mountain over Lake - Loss]

[To gain through loss, to relinquish through sacrifice, and to exchange a small loss for a great benefit.]

Looking at the two hexagrams, Chen Qingmo couldn't help but connect them.

Chen Qingmo's previous act of gathering information and giving away elixirs was also in accordance with the divination.

If there's anything he's about to lose these days, it's the points he has.

If there's anything he's about to lose these days, it's the points he has.

According to the divination, a small loss will be exchanged for a great gain.

That would mean he loses the points he has, but it's not the worst outcome.

If that's the case, why not wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump?

The people mentioned in the divination are most likely several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the He and Lü families.

Looking across the entire Cloud Lotus Secret Realm, only these six people pose a threat to him.

"Take advantage of the darkness to set up a few formations, just in case."

"There's no need to unleash the War Puppet Formation; we can save it for a surprise attack."

Having made up his mind, Chen Qingmo immediately began to set up the formation.

About four hours later, the two Rank 6 formations were completed.

At that moment, six cultivator coordinates suddenly appeared on his token.

"They're here!"

Chen Qingmo thought to himself.

Sure enough, the other party came looking for them.

This was only the fourth day since the secret realm opened, and the six people had already arrived near him.

"Since you want to attack me, then so be it."

Chen Qingmo sneered, set up a rather conspicuous warning array, and then sat cross-legged, pretending to cultivate.

A moment later.

Six Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived near the nameless mountain peak.

"Fellow Daoist He, Chen Qingmo is over there!"

The cultivator surnamed Lü let out a low shout, somewhat excited.

Seeing that Chen Qingmo's coordinates were not moving, he initially thought there might be some kind of conspiracy.

But now that he saw the other person cultivating, his worries instantly lessened.

"Wait!"

The cultivator surnamed He stopped the restless group of people.

"I've heard that Chen Qingmo is always cautious and wouldn't leave such a big opening. The fact that he's set up such a conspicuous warning array around him must be a trap."

"Do you still remember that he was the leader of the array formations among all the families? I simply do not believe that there were no hidden array formations."

The cultivator surnamed He didn't want the plan to go wrong; at the very least, none of them should be injured before facing the enemy.

After saying that, he sent out two of his beast pets to scout ahead.

A few breaths later, the warning array was activated, and two sixth-grade arrays were revealed.
