Now that Master Yujing had given the order, the Jindan Zhenren began to display their magical powers.

Countless spells, magic weapons, and sword energy intertwined together, and soon the top of Xihua Mountain was filled with smoke, dust, and flying snow.

Qiu Changtian observed secretly and found that the quality of this group of Jindan Zhenren was very high. Whether it was the level of true essence, combat awareness or skills, they were far superior to the cultivators of the same level.

So that's what's going on. Now I know what the Demon Cult is planning.

If the three Jiejiao immortals use a powerful move here and raze these Jindan Zhenren along with the entire Xihua Mountain to the ground, wouldn't the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion, who have lost the seeds of their cultivation, be unable to recover immediately?

After a few hours, everyone finally broke through the thick ice and began to push forward.

"Here!" someone suddenly shouted.

Qiu Changtian turned his head and saw that it was Luo Yan who spoke.

That’s right, Ling Yunpo and Luo Yan are both me from the future, so I think they already know how to open the secret realm of Golden Que.

Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw that Luo Yan had cleared a corner in the ice - it seemed to be part of some altar.

He displayed the acquired five elements divine light, and the ice melted quickly, soon revealing the full view of the altar.

This is an altar of simple style, built entirely with unknown stones. Many places lack signs of polishing, as if it was just piled up forcibly.

There was an obvious dent on the platform at the top of the altar.

The head of Yujing compared the jade doll and found that it was just the right size, so he inserted it in.

Sure enough, as soon as the jade doll touched the dent in the platform, it immediately stuck to it as if it had taken root.

Then, a golden light emerged from the altar, slanting upward into the clouds and deep into the sky, like a thoroughfare.

Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized that this jade doll must be the key to the secret realm of the Golden Palace. As long as it is placed on the high platform, this road can be opened.

However, in ancient times, for some unknown reason, the jade doll was knocked off the platform, causing the passage to be closed and the Golden Palace Secret Realm to be immediately inaccessible.

After millions of years of being covered by wind and snow, the altar and the jade doll were finally buried in the ice, so that no one knew that there was a secret place here.

The head of Yujing Sect scanned the area with his spiritual sense and then tried to step onto the path of light.

As soon as they stepped on it, the light immediately condensed into substance, forming a golden road leading to the sky.

Then, the figure of Yujing's headmaster suddenly staggered for a moment, as if he was bounced back from the light path by an invisible force.

"It is as expected." He stepped back a few steps in embarrassment and said calmly, "The master of the Golden Palace is currently absent and the ban has been activated. Only those who are at the Golden Core Realm can enter and take part in the test."

"Master." Master Jinghua bowed and asked, "What does it mean to be the Lord of the Golden Palace?"

"In the past Baiyujing competition, the twelve people who won the foundation building stage in the duel were the twelve masters of Baiyujing." The head of Yujing replied, "In ancient times, the human race had to fight against many foreign races, so the major secret realms and treasures were occupied by capable people. For example, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords had corresponding Sun and Moon Sword Masters."

"The Golden Palace Secret Realm also has a Golden Palace Master. If you want to find the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden Secret Realm in the future, you will also need the Golden Palace Master to find it."

He explained the matter clearly in just a few words, and the Jindan Zhen people suddenly understood.

Then, the immortals in Kunlun and Penglai became depressed.

No wonder there are only six people from our two sects combined this time, but you from Shushan have six people alone! It seems that you want to occupy half of the positions of the Lord of the Golden Palace!

If you think about it carefully, the meaning of Yujing Sect Leader is actually quite obscure: in ancient times, the human race had to compete with other races, so "the capable will get the job", and they paid great attention to fairness and efficiency.

The world now belongs to humans, so there is no need to strictly adhere to the principle of "the ablest man takes the throne".

The whereabouts of the Golden Palace Secret Realm was first discovered by Shushan, so more places were requested.

Thinking that the head of their own sect must have already accepted this condition, the cultivators from Kunlun and Penglai were speechless. They just silently looked at the light path that led to the sky, their hearts burning with anxiety again.

Of course, with a complicated mind like Qiu Changtian, he naturally thought more deeply:

The head of Yujing said that one must go in and take the test before becoming the master of the Golden Palace.

Normally, one must pass the trial.

There are twelve masters of the Golden Palace, and this time the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church brought a total of twelve people, which is exactly the same number.

It can be inferred from this that the pass rate of these twelve people must be 100%, otherwise the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church would never have sent only twelve people.

However, this doesn't make sense: Is the test in the Golden Palace Secret Realm so simple? Anyone who is a Jindan Realm real person can pass it after coming here?

It is obviously unlikely, unless referring to the Baiyujing Competition, the internal test of the Golden Que Secret Realm is also designed based on competition.

Among a large number of contenders, only the top twelve can become the master of the Golden Palace - of course, this is also based on the general environment of "the competent one gets the throne" of the ancient human race.

Needless to say, the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church jointly concealed the news of this secret realm, so the twelve Orthodox monks would inevitably become the twelve Masters of the Golden Palace. It was just a matter of ranking.

In a flash, Qiu Changtian suddenly realized.

As for the Baiyujing competition, it was probably because the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox religion had not yet thoroughly studied the mechanism of the secret realm, so they sent a large number of monks over according to the requirements of the secret realm. Finally, the twelve masters of Baiyujing were decided according to the normal process, and the news of the Golden Que secret realm was obtained.

This is obviously risky: because of holding such a grand event, the news is almost certain to leak out, thus attracting the covetousness of the evil cult.

Therefore, when they arrived at the Golden Palace Secret Realm, the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect began to further try to "internalize" and "completely monopolize". This is also the choice that any sect will naturally make when faced with interests...

Just when Qiu Changtian was about to be enlightened, he suddenly saw a black fog coming in the distance.

"Not good!" Yujing's headmaster suddenly shouted, "Go!"

The Jindan Zhenren of the three religions were all stunned. At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed onto the road of light that leads to the sky.

It turned out to be Master Qingheng from Mount Shu, Lingyunpo!

Zhenren Jiangxiao An Zhisu subconsciously followed closely behind, followed by Zhenren Jingyun Luo Yan from Penglai, who was about five or six steps behind the two of them, holding Zhenren Dongyou Shi Liuli in his hand... The latter had not yet reacted and was completely dragged up by Luo Yan.

"Senior Brother!" Xu Yinglian said in shock, and quickly grabbed Qiu Changtian's hand, then rushed towards the altar.

The remaining Jindan Zhenren suddenly woke up from their dream and rushed to the altar, only to see a heavy black fog suddenly descending from the sky, instantly covering the entire altar. It turned out to be Wei Dongliu's Wanxiang Juexian Sword Formation.

"Don't fly the sword!" Wei Dongliu's cold roar was heard from the black fog, "Everyone run! Walk away from the altar and take the light path!"

Above the black fog, the elders of the Demon Cult had already rushed down and were fighting with the elders of Shushan who wanted to intercept them.
