The battle between the King Realm experts, which lasted for more than three days, has finally come to a conclusion.

Baihe defeated Shangyuyan.

Xue Tong faced off against Zhu Rui, and Zhu Rui won.

Zhou Jian faced Zheng Ren, and Zhou Jian won.

Despite the threat of death, Yu Yan and the other two voluntarily surrendered.

Bai He, Zhu Rui, and Zhou Jian also had considerable injuries on their bodies. They looked exhausted but couldn't hide their excitement.

As the victors, they were also transported to a similar spirit pool to rest and recover.

Upon seeing the spirit pool and realizing it was merely their reward, Bai He and Zhu Rui jumped into it to soak.

The cool, spiritual liquid slowly flowed into their bodies, cleansing their flesh and gradually improving their constitution.

After the fierce battle, they were already exhausted, and the spiritual pool made them groan with comfort.

Zhou Jian remained vigilant and, like Qin Feng, did not use the spirit pool to recover, but instead used the spiritual herbs and spirit stones he had brought with him.

After a day, everyone had recovered to a fairly high level.

At this moment, there was new activity in the Palace of Bliss. All those who had passed the two rounds of screening were successively teleported to a large hall.

There is a special area in the main hall where a statue stands.

Apart from that, this main hall is no different from the previous ones, and its layout is equally clear.

These people were immediately drawn to the statues in the main hall upon their arrival.

Jiang Yi looked at the statue and said, "Who is this? Could it be a statue of the Gengjin Emperor?"

Tian Zheng nodded. "I think this statue is majestic and imposing, exuding authority without anger. It has the demeanor of a great emperor and is very likely a statue of a great emperor."

Qian Xuefeng echoed, "I think so too. Wasn't this supposed to be the final hurdle? Finally, something related to the Great Emperor has appeared."

Deng Tianning also looked at the statue excitedly, "It must be the statue of the Great Emperor, otherwise it wouldn't be here. I have a feeling that our final challenge might be related to this statue."

Bai He gazed silently at the statue without speaking, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed his feelings at that moment.

Everyone else is pretty much the same.

When Qin Feng arrived, he looked around and saw familiar faces such as Leng Yuexi, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Fan. He was relieved to see that they were all safe and sound.

He stepped closer and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

Leng Yuexi nodded. "It's alright. When we arrived at a pool filled with spiritual liquid, I didn't go in."

Yin Tiantian chimed in, "That's right. The anomaly at the Life and Death Arena made me very wary of this Palace of Bliss, so I didn't go in."

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement, "Me too."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, which would have been troublesome."

Hearing this from the side, Shen Mengying said with dissatisfaction, "No way, you guys are wasting such a precious resource. You're leaving the spiritual pool and its spiritual liquid unused. You'll be struck by lightning."

Shen Qianjun agreed, saying, "Qin Feng, aren't you being too cautious? So many people are fine. Look, aren't we alright now?"

Deng Tianning also glared at Qin Feng and said irritably:

"It's all because of you, kid. You made me so worried when I ate the Heavenly Spirit Fruit."

Soaking in that spirit pool was so comfortable; I felt completely refreshed, and I'm perfectly fine now. You're such a cunning fellow."

Qin Feng smiled and wasn't angry. "Hehe, it's still better to be careful."

After two rounds of elimination, only fifty people remain out of more than a hundred in the main hall.

There are twenty-three Golden Core cultivators, eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators, six Deity Transformation cultivators, and three King Realm experts.

After the formation of the Palace of Bliss teleported the person here, a new instruction appeared:

Anyone who enters the special area where the statue is placed and looks into the statue's eyes will enter a dreamlike state.

This is a test of a cultivator's Dao heart. Those who pass will qualify as candidates for the Great Emperor, and ultimately, the true successor will be selected based on a combination of all factors.

Note: There may be multiple successors to the throne.

Trial participants are protected during the illusion array assessment and need not worry about safety.

Jiang Yi, Tian Zheng, Qian Xuefeng, and Deng Tianning all looked at the notice with excitement.

They have sacrificed many disciples along the way, and now they finally see hope.

Looking at the notice, Bai He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. As long as he passed the test of the illusion array, he could become a candidate.

He was very confident in himself, especially in his pursuit of the Tao, for which he was willing to give up everything.

If he could obtain the Great Emperor's inheritance, he wouldn't have any problem giving up the Hehuan Sect, just as easily as he gave up Tang Yan before.

Baihe's eyes gleamed with excitement.

At this moment, both Golden Core disciples and King Realm elders were filled with anticipation.

They have an inexplicable confidence in themselves, believing that they are the chosen ones.

Their hopes were even higher when they saw the final note, which stated that there might be more than one successor to the Emperor.

Shen Mengying excitedly said to the people around her, "If I pass the test of the illusion array, I can become an inheritor. Do you think I have a chance?"

Shen Qianjun encouraged him, "As long as you hold fast to your beliefs and stay true to your original aspirations, the illusion array will not affect you."

Shen Mengying nodded affirmatively.

Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan were also so excited that their faces turned red.

The only calmest people on the scene were Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi.

The final arrangements made by the Palace of Bliss seem to be normal, which is what puzzles Qin Feng the most.

He transmitted his voice to Leng Yuexi:
