Not to mention the matter of Senior Brother Zhao Er, Qiu Changtian's target now is the future rising star of the righteous path, not limited to the sect. So he doesn't need to take it to heart to compete with him for the position of the chief of the Golden Core Realm.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian once again fought their way into the sixth level of the secret trial realm. As the levels and ranks of the surrounding golden-armored warriors continued to rise, the battle pressure around them also suddenly increased dramatically.

However, this time the two were well prepared. Qiu Changtian took out the Taiqing Yuanqi Yanlan that he got from the sect's Fenbao Rock and quickly threw it into the air, covering the two of them as if covered with a layer of veil.

When the golden-armored warriors approached him, it was like being stuck in a quagmire. Every move he made required a lot of effort and it was difficult to move through it.

Qiu Changtian once again took out the Tuichao Hengbo flute, put it to his lips and started to play it. With the stimulation of his true energy, rolling waves of sound immediately formed out of thin air, violently pushing away all the approaching golden-armored warriors.

Xu Yinglian also took out a zither, which was also a magic weapon for music. It was called "Chuanjiao Polang Qin" and it could transform the sound into sword energy and shoot it out in all directions.

The cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm's God-Cunning Stage alone was not enough for these sword energies to instantly kill the golden-armored warriors of the sixth level, but Xu Yinglian had formed a second-grade golden core. Although his true essence was not as abundant as Qiu Changtian's, it was enough to squander for a while. Therefore, he relied on a large amount of sword energy to completely wear through the defenses of these golden-armored warriors in just three or four breaths.

One of them was responsible for defense while the other was responsible for killing. They cooperated perfectly and prevented these golden-armored warriors from getting close to them. They could only be killed by the sword energy and sound waves.

Finally, all the golden-armored warriors in the sixth level were eliminated, and the two successfully reached the end of the level, but it was also a similar glowing arch.

When you step into it, you enter the seventh level, but you see there is no ground below, only a sea of ​​red lotus and fire.

The karmic fire was so fierce that even though the two of them were suspended in the air on their swords, they could still feel the karma rising like steam, as if their rational consciousness was being steamed and roasted alive.

"Junior sister." Qiu Changtian frowned and said, "The training and beating of the spiritual consciousness in this seventh level seems to be more severe than the previous six levels combined."

"As far as I know, most of the cultivators at the Soul-storing Stage stop at the third level," Xu Yinglian said seriously, "and the seventh level requires a True Person at the Subtle Stage to reach this level."

"This difficulty is really hard to deal with for us now." Qiu Changtian said slowly.

"Hmm?" Xu Yinglian was silent for a moment, and suddenly his fighting spirit rose. "Brother, if you go all out, can you help me get through this seventh level?"

"It's hard to say." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "Let's try the quality of this level first, and at worst we can just return the same way."

"Brother, why don't you have any pride at all?" Xu Yinglian snorted, "You haven't even started trying yet, but you're already thinking about a way out?"

"Before thinking about victory, think about defeat first." Qiu Changtian smiled calmly.

The two of them were arguing with each other, and soon many enemies from the seventh level appeared.

I saw a large army formation in front of me, walking on fire and full of murderous intent.

Each army formation had about 5,000 golden-armored soldiers, led by a golden-armored general, who attacked the two men.

Those golden-armored gods were all dressed neatly and wearing heavy armor. They not only held swords and spears, but also carried bows and arrows. They would draw their bows and shoot arrows at a distance of about one or two miles.

The arrow was like a meteor, and the light was like lightning, piercing through the Taiqing Yuanqi smoke and mist in an instant.

Fortunately, Taiqing Yuanqi Yanlan slowed down the flying arrows slightly, allowing Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian to seize the opportunity to dodge with their swords. They only felt the terrifying energy passing by, and the strong wind it brought almost swept them away.

"Ying Lian!" Qiu Changtian didn't even call out to his junior sister, but said in a deep voice, "This kind of strength is hard to deal with, retreat."

"How can I not win!" Xu Yinglian said anxiously. This dog-brother clearly had some strength left, but he was lazy and said he couldn't win. How abominable! "Where's your Five Thunders Righteous Method? Take it out!"

"Alas." Qiu Changtian didn't want to use the Thunder God Cone, because it consumed too much of his true essence. There was no need to waste it on the seventh level. Wouldn't it be better to practice peacefully in the first six levels? Why was he so eager for quick success?

But if he didn't fight for victory, he wouldn't be Junior Sister Xu. He had no choice but to accept it. He took out the Thunder God's Cone and Thunder God's Hammer, and with his true energy, he stimulated the silver-white lightning dragon.

The giant dragon was so powerful and majestic that it swallowed up all the divine soldiers and generals around it as it moved around easily.

A large number of light arrows pierced the body of the Thunder Dragon again, but the giant dragon made of Taixiao Thunder was not a real dragon, so it had no so-called vital points at all. It just continued to roar and attack everywhere, with flashing thunder and rumbling lightning.

Xu Yinglian also compressed his true energy and suddenly spit out a golden thread from his mouth. The flame was faint, but extremely sharp, sweeping across the army formation like a sharp blade, cutting countless divine soldiers and generals in half.

"Very good!" Xu Yinglian was very excited, thinking to himself, "Ordinary thunder magic and great light fire are indeed a little powerless against the divine weapons and generals after the sixth level, but the Taixiao Thunder and Chiyu Nine Phoenix Fire, which are famous for their ability to attack and kill, can still do the job!"

"No way." Qiu Changtian was quite helpless, complaining, "Judging from the capacity of my junior sister and I, as well as the number of enemies in the distance, we simply can't afford to consume our true energy. Even the pills we carry with us are not enough."

Sure enough, about half an hour later, both of them had exhausted their true essence, and there were only a few pills left.

There are still huge crowds of people ahead. It is obvious that not only the quality of the soldiers and generals at the seventh level has been upgraded, but their number has also increased exponentially.

Xu Yinglian still wanted to fight, but Qiu Changtian hugged him from behind, wrapped him up in a sword light, and went straight out of the secret trial realm the same way he came.

Returning to Zhao Palace and reviewing the rewards for passing the levels, the shelves were still filled with magical instruments and scriptures of ordinary quality.

Xu Yinglian selected some magic weapons and flying swords, intending to take them back and donate them to the family. Qiu Changtian selected some scriptures - but they were not Qigong or Taoism, but some rare and uncommon books.

After leaving Zhao Palace, I saw a few Kunlun immortals meditating and breathing in the white jade square outside to restore their true energy.

The two of them found a place to sit down. Just as Xu Yinglian was about to adjust his breathing, he suddenly heard the phoenix in his mind say:

"The white dragon that your husband's pair of hammers just triggered was the Taixiao Thunder, one of the Ten Thunders of the Human Race?"

"Senior, do you know Taixiao Lei?" Xu Yinglian asked in surprise.

"How could I not know about the Taixiao Thunder of the Donghua Sect?" Phoenix said, "However, your husband only has the cone hammer, but no corresponding mental method, and there is no special environment in the Donghua Sect to help him. The probability of him being able to comprehend and cultivate the Taixiao Thunder out of thin air is probably less than one in ten thousand."

Xu Yinglian: ???

She told Qiu Changtian about this, and the latter immediately became serious:

"Excuse me, Senior Fenghuang, where exactly are the remains of the Donghua Sect?"

"I heard it is above the East China Sea." Phoenix replied.

Xu Yinglian repeated the story, and Qiu Changtian frowned and said:

"The East China Sea is now the territory of Penglai. If the ancient Donghua Sect's ruins were still there, they should have been discovered by the Penglai monks over the years. But why have we never heard any news about this sect?"

"Because it's not in the East China Sea." Phoenix emphasized, "I told you, it's above the East China Sea! 'Above'!"
