There is no immediate benefit from obtaining the Lord of the Golden Palace.

Qiu Changtian estimated that this was probably just some kind of identity certification... In short, the actual benefits of winning this bet have to be obtained through other means.

"Are you back?" he suddenly asked in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yes." Kunlun Mirror replied.

"What Taoist magic did you get?" Qiu Changtian asked.

"Take a look for yourself." Kunlun Mirror passed the Taoist content to him.

Qiu Changtian looked carefully and found that it was a reconnaissance-type Yi Mu secret technique called "Piao Miao Qing Ling Technique". It could release seeds from the air that floated in the wind like dandelions. Each seed could extend the range of his spiritual sense scanning, like a repeater.

He was subconsciously very satisfied, because Qiu Changtian's character had no shortage of offensive means (including the Five Thunders Law and the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword) and defensive means (the Taiqing Yuanqi Smoke and Mist and the Tuichao Hengbo Flute). The only thing he lacked was reconnaissance spells, such as the hidden firebird summoned by Xu Yinglian's previous spell, which could be of great use at the critical moment.

However, when Qiu Changtian thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.

Wait, I never had any detection spells in the past, but I never encountered similar troubles...

Because can't the mirror scan for me? !

The range is large and wide, the accuracy rate is 100% without any omissions, and it doesn’t require any consumption of my true energy!

"You broken mirror, why did you choose such a Taoist method?" Qiu Changtian said unhappily, "What use do I have for this reconnaissance method?"

"How can it be useless?" Kunlun Mirror asked in confusion, "Aren't you in need of investigative means right now?"

"I..." Qiu Changtian was stunned for a moment, "Don't I have you?"

Kunlun Jing was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously felt inexplicably moved and relieved, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile:

"Then you can't always rely on me! What if one day, I'm gone, what will you do?"

"What if you are gone..." Qiu Changtian was suddenly speechless.

"Right?" Kunlun Jing said gently, "Reconnaissance is also a skill that cultivators must master. You should learn it well."

"I understand." Qiu Changtian sighed and said, "I'll go and learn it."

He suddenly remembered a movie he had watched before traveling through time. It was about a little boy who met a ghost in an accident. From then on, the ghost accompanied him as a golden finger, guiding him all the way to the pinnacle of his career.

However, at this peak moment, the ghost suddenly disappeared, causing him to suffer a mental breakdown and was unable to recover for a long time...

Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian also felt a little sad.

He thought that he now had a deep bond with Ajing, and if Ajing wanted to leave him one day, he would probably be very sad.

Let's not think about these things. Anyway, the sky repair is not complete yet, and Ah Jing will never abandon me.

The test on the part of True Lord Liandu has ended, but those cultivators who failed have not been eliminated from the secret realm - after all, he had said before that there are a total of twelve True Lords in the secret realm, and each of them can be granted the position of the Lord of the Golden Palace.

Therefore, the monks dispersed and went to look for other True Lords in this secret realm.

However, Xu Yinglian had a more careful idea: she guessed that since the number of True Lords corresponded to the number of Lords of the Golden Palace, the fact that no one passed the test of True Lord Jiuhua did not necessarily mean that the qualification in his hands would be wasted.

So she took Luo Baiyuan to ask, and indeed got a straightforward reply from Jiuhua Zhenjun:

"The mind of the seven orifices is indeed very clever."

"Yes, I just thought of the content of the next test. Since you came to ask in advance, I will give this test to you two."

"In this competition, there is a rather...eccentric True Lord who has disguised himself as one of you."

"Find her and expose her, and you will get the qualification to be the Lord of the Golden Palace in my hand. Of course, there is only one qualification."

Xu Yinglian immediately cheered up and decided to take Luo Baiyuan to find this true master.

Qiu Changtian also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Master Liandu:

"Where are you going? Master Chang Geng, you are the first to obtain the position of the Lord of the Golden Palace. Please follow me."

Qiu Changtian had no choice but to let them go first, and he followed Master Liandu.

"Master Chang Geng, which sect did you learn from?" Master Liandu asked casually on the way.

"I learned from Kunlun Taiqing Sect." Qiu Changtian replied.

"Kunlun, Taiqing Sect." Liandu Zhenjun muttered the name and smiled, "It seems a long time ago... In our time, there was only the Wu Clan's Great Light Divine Religion in the Kunlun Mountains."

"The Great Light Divine Religion?" Qiu Changtian asked curiously, "Are you talking about Zhu Rong's Light Divine Palace?"

“No.” True Lord Liandu was a little surprised, as if he didn’t expect that he actually knew the relationship between “Zhu Rong” and “The Palace of Light”. “The Great Light Divine Religion is a product of the decline of the Palace of Light seven thousand years ago. It is composed of the remaining witches, humans, and monsters. It is a cross-regional, loose monastic organization.”

"Of course, it is much better than Zhu Rong's ancient times. The era you are talking about is an era where the strength of the strong is so strong that it is suffocating. Bloodline rank is everything, and the inheritance of skills and the mantle of Taoism are completely ignored, because no matter how hard you practice Taoism, your end point cannot catch up with others' starting point."

"If that's the case," Qiu Changtian asked tentatively, "Why would such an era also come to an end?"

"Is there anything in the world that will not come to an end?" Liandu Zhenjun laughed, but did not answer the question directly.

The two of them passed through numerous corridors and finally arrived at the tallest attic in the Golden Palace Secret Realm.

"Wait here for a while." Liandu Zhenjun instructed him, "Once the twelve masters of the Golden Palace gather together, the ceremony will begin."

"What is the meaning of the ceremony?" Qiu Changtian continued to ask.

"The existence of the Golden Palace Secret Realm naturally has its reasons." Lord Liandu said calmly.

All right, Riddler.

Qiu Changtian knew that he couldn't ask more questions, so he could only wait here patiently. He wondered if Junior Sister Xu could successfully obtain the position of the Golden Palace without his guidance and reminders.

After an unknown amount of time, someone was brought here by another True Lord. I guess she passed the True Lord test and got the position... Hmm? It turned out to be Senior Sister An?

Humph, it must be that in the future I, as Junior Brother Ling, will give the opportunity to Senior Sister!

There is no way. This is how an unyielding character is. If there are difficulties, you must overcome them. If there are no difficulties, you must actively create them.

"Master Jiangxiao." Qiu Changtian said while bowing.

"Master Chang Geng." An Zhisu bowed briefly and turned to the Master who brought her here and said, "Can I not stay inside? A man and a woman alone in the same room, I'm afraid others might misunderstand us."
