In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 316 A Grand gesture

Don't assume that because hundreds of Rank 7 pills are produced here every time, Rank 6 pills are not very valuable.

Once a pill reaches the sixth grade, it will no longer be subject to the restrictions imposed by cultivation level.

In other words, some special sixth-grade pills even allow cultivation by those in the Body Refinement stage, and even ordinary people.

Just one of these can provide continuous protection for over a hundred years.

He single-handedly transformed an ordinary person into a martial arts genius!

Therefore, sixth-grade pills are rare treasures for the vast majority of martial artists.

And right now, this secret realm is only the first level, yet there is already a chance to obtain so many pills. No wonder those sun and moon immortals, and even saints, have gathered together and maintained such close attention.

Shen Xing didn't stand on ceremony.

He is currently lacking in elixirs, not to mention seventh-grade ones, he even lacks sixth-grade elixirs.

Not to mention, one must always cultivate one's own power base and personnel.

Therefore, with the help of the powerful detection device, he flew swiftly through the desert, accurately turning over all the treasure chests wherever he went.

It contains elixirs, divine weapons, materials, and martial arts concepts. It's just like a treasure trove with a wealth of treasures!

Of course, the quantity of pills was the largest.

They are all grade six pills! There are a total of forty-three of them!

These pills alone constitute a considerable fortune, enough to last Shen Xing for several years even now.

In addition to these, the most important thing is the pass token.

"Is this the token for passing through?" Shen Xing examined the jade token in his hand with considerable curiosity.

But he could only sense the surging inscriptions on it.

It seems to resonate with the inscriptions in this secret realm, which is why it possesses a certain magical power.

There are four such tokens.

According to the information given to him by the previous holy sons and daughters, he only needs to find two to pass this level, but the more he finds, the more advantageous it will be for the later stages.

According to this logic, if there are no detection methods and one simply relies on brute force to search, this first hurdle will likely be difficult to overcome.

Of course, there was no problem for Shen Xing.

"There are only four in total. Let's move on to the next level." With a thought, he activated all four tokens.

The next moment, the power of space enveloped him.

This is clearly a direct driving force of spatial power, rather than an indirect one like a teleportation array.

This further demonstrates the profound mystery of the formation.

I'm afraid that in this day and age, even the so-called Refining Heaven Workshop would find it difficult to create the same formation.

Perhaps the core technology of this world really does lie in the ancient times.

Shen Xing had already taken the so-called ancient secret realm to heart.

At this moment, as the scene before him changed, he officially arrived at the second level.

This is a huge platform suspended high in the air. It is enormous, with a diameter of at least tens of kilometers. What is even more amazing is that there are nine identical platforms outside this mountain-like platform.

"Battle Arena!" Shen Xing narrowed his eyes, realizing the problem with this second challenge.

However, it is an elimination stage.

Ten arenas, twenty people sparring with each other until the final five are determined and can advance to the next round.

Fifteen people need to be eliminated.

It may not sound that easy, but this kind of level has one major characteristic.

That's the terrain!

Or rather, the vital energy within the arena.

Yes, this changes randomly and tends to be more suited to a certain type.

Not to mention, everyone's cultivation level is limited to the Spirit Realm.

So, if you're lucky, you might be able to easily defeat an opponent you can't beat outside.

"Is it going to take a bit of luck again?" Shen Xing had already realized that the first two challenges seemed to have something to do with luck.

Some people are even able to pass the level directly thanks to good luck.

However, those who are powerful and resourceful have no need for luck.

For example, Shen Xing himself.

At that moment, he looked at his opponent.

That was not a young man, but a burly man with bulging muscles and flashing lightning. He was at least a thousand years old and was clearly a Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator whose strength was being suppressed. Moreover, he was obviously a martial artist with powerful body-refining techniques.

This person was also observing Shen Xing, but his face was ashen and not pleasant to look at.

He could also roughly tell Shen Xing's age.

That is youth, extreme youth.

At most, he is only a little over a hundred years old.

However, it exudes an extremely powerful aura, and it is of the dragon type, with that terrifying dragon might almost overflowing!

To reach the Mountain and Sea Realm at such a young age can only demonstrate his terrifying talent and formidable foundation.

He might just be a prodigy who cultivates a certain top-tier martial art.

If that's the case, then his difficulty is actually greater.

The idea that the younger you are, the weaker you are, does not exist in the world of martial arts.

"This..." The burly man seemed to want to say something to Shen Xing.

However, Shen Xing didn't care what he thought. The other party had just opened his mouth when he unceremoniously slashed down with his sword!

Although this strike did not utilize spatial power, it still employed the user's basic strength, without much concealment.

Just a single cut from a distance of several kilometers caused the burly man's expression to change drastically.

"I surrender!" he roared without hesitation.

In an instant, golden light surged forth, seemingly forming an absolute protective barrier that completely blocked Shen Xing's earth-shattering strike without even causing a ripple.

Yes, in this kind of arena, you can admit defeat.

As long as you shout it out in time, even the most powerful attack can be automatically blocked.

This seems to be the ancient alchemist's mercy towards the later trial participants.

However, Shen Xing could see very clearly that the opponent had to shout the words "I surrender" in order to activate the protection, and activation would take an instant.

He could block that blow, but if it was a sneak attack or an unexpected attack, he wouldn't even have a chance to admit defeat.

This protection is clearly not that simple.

Shen Xing already had a plan in mind.

At this moment, as his opponent surrendered and disappeared, several treasure chests were teleported directly to his front, a total of five!

"This ability to teleport anytime, anywhere is truly amazing," Shen Xing thought to himself. "Even the Human Federation doesn't have this technology, and if we could master it further, people's quality of life would undoubtedly be greatly improved."

That's right. When people from the Human Federation move within or near a planet, they also need to take flying vehicles, which takes time.

Especially shopping.

If such technology existed, travel time would be completely eliminated.

That will undoubtedly bring about tremendous changes.

Shen Xing opened the box with anticipation and found it full of pills.

Five different kinds of pills, three of which were in each box.

Just for winning one battle, they actually gave away fifteen Rank 6 pills!

"They really don't take pills seriously at all." Shen Xing was somewhat surprised.

Too extravagant, too ostentatious.

You know, in this first round alone, the ten winners will give away a whopping 150!

Thinking this, Shen Xing felt the teleportation and was quickly sent to the second arena.

Before me stood a woman, dressed scantily, with a beautiful face and an allure that radiated charm with every move she made.

"I am Meng Xin, a disciple of Mengyue Palace." The woman introduced herself first, smiling brightly. "I hope you will show mercy, young master. I will surely repay you later."

Dream Moon Palace?

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes; he was quite familiar with this holy land now.

That's right, this holy land is the sect of the holy maiden he recently communicated with, and it ranks fifteenth among all the holy lands in the Central Ruins.

It is considered one of the most powerful holy sites.

This sacred place specializes in the art of seduction, yet it is not a place of debauchery. On the contrary, its disciples are the most chaste. Regardless of gender, they will only seek one person to bind themselves to, entrusting their cultivation will and martial arts potential entirely to that one person.

It can be considered a very special sect.

According to their rules, those dressed lightly like this person are actually those without a partner. Once they find someone with whom they are bound by the red thread of fate, they begin to dress conservatively. Therefore, revealing one's identity would likely have a significant effect on most male martial artists.

Even Shen Xing is the same.

He had no intention of making an enemy of this holy land, and had even established a good relationship with the previous holy maiden. At this moment, he was indeed thinking of letting her go and simply expelling her.

But at that very moment, Shen Xing suddenly laughed.

"As expected of someone who wins with charm." At this moment, his body was suddenly covered with countless thin lines of red elemental energy. It wasn't just his body; it was layered on top of each other, making it seem as if the whole world had turned into a pale red color, with red lines everywhere.

Such martial arts skills are truly extraordinary.

Shen Xing could clearly sense that even in this situation, he did not harbor much malice towards the other party.

Clearly, this red thread not only binds the body, but also affects the soul.

"Young master, please don't be angry." Meng Xin smiled gently. "This 'Thousand Threads Entangling the Heart' will not harm you at all, not even in the slightest. It is merely a binding technique. Young master, you should quickly admit defeat. Meng Xin can't bring herself to do it."

She said she couldn't bring herself to do it, but a subtle light shone in her raised, slender hand.

They were incredibly thin needles, like dust particles in the air.

Densely packed, countless.

The red thread may indeed be just a binding, but these fine needles are probably not so easy to handle.

So this is a threat, a blatant threat.

Shen Xing laughed.

"Interesting," he chuckled. "A decent method, but still a little lacking."

After saying that, he didn't bother to say anything more.

With a soft "poof".

Suddenly, golden flames filled the sky!

Whether it was the red thread on his body or the red threads distributed throughout the entire space, they all melted rapidly in that instant, disappearing completely in the scorching flames that were like the sun.

Mengxin's face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

It had clearly suffered a severe blow!

It was still a severe blow to the soul!

After a long pause, she managed to utter a few words.

"A Heavenly Grade Divine Soul Technique!"

That's right, this red thread is not just pure Yuan energy, but also involves the soul. It is an extremely profound and top-grade Earth-level martial arts divine intent.

Ordinary methods, even ordinary top-grade techniques, are difficult to break free from once they are bound.

However, he encountered his greatest nemesis!

Heavenly Grade Divine Soul Martial Arts Intent!

As the first Heaven-grade martial arts conception that Shen Xing obtained, the Dragon Holding the Sun was something he had put a lot of effort into, and he had already cultivated it to a considerable level. In addition, the Myriad Dragons Technique enhanced the dragon-type martial arts conception, and Shen Xing's already very strong foundation in realm.

To be honest, he couldn't even imagine the possibility of losing.

"Just admit defeat," Shen Xing said calmly.

"Young master?" The woman named Mengxin pouted, looking at him with a charming and alluring expression.

However, Shen Xing remained unmoved, and with just one sentence, he made Meng Xin completely despair.

"After you leave, please give my regards to your saintess."

This is someone who knows the saint!

Judging from his appearance, he might be the holy son of some powerful holy land!

This time, Mengxin gave up completely, admitting defeat without saying a word.

If they continue to pester him, Shen Xing might actually resort to drastic measures.

However, recalling this person's methods, he still felt that this sect was indeed particularly suitable for Mi Fei and Wenren Caifeng's forces.

"Perhaps, after establishing a good relationship with this Dream Moon Palace, I can bring Mi Fei over next time?" Shen Xing pondered, still not forgetting her friends.

Ultimately, his strength was too weak on his own.

However, some of the friends I know, whether it's Nangong Jinyi or Mi Fei, all have extremely high potential.

Sooner or later it will become a powerful asset.

More importantly, he was merely using others' resources to offer his own; he didn't actually have to give much in return. The benefits of this world couldn't be monopolized by him alone.

As Shen Xing pondered this, she looked at her gains from this experience.

There are still five treasure chests, and still five kinds of sixth-grade pills, but there is one more of each kind, making a total of four pills, for a total of twenty pills.

"A grand gesture, truly a grand gesture," Shen Xing exclaimed.

He has already obtained more than seventy Rank 6 pills from here.

It should be noted that his reputation in the Eastern Ruins had already influenced the Hundred Domains, yet he had only obtained a mere hundred-odd Rank 6 pills.

This was because two or three sixth-grade alchemists had been refining pills for him for a long time.

In comparison, they are really not on the same level.

Shen Xing quickly made it to the third round.

Looking at his opponent in the third round, who was also a young man, Shen Xing felt a strong aura emanating from him, so strong that even he became somewhat wary.

"Heavenly Rank Martial Arts Intent!"

Yes, he could clearly sense that the martial arts intent of the other party as a cultivation technique was absolutely of the highest grade!

This was not the first time he had encountered a martial artist at the Heavenly Rank Martial Arts Intent level, but it also showed that the trial standards of this secret realm had been raised to the level of true geniuses.
