After a spiritual sense swept over it, it disappeared as if a stone had sunk into the sea.
However, Qin Xin could sense that Qin Haotian's strength seemed to be even greater than that of the Second Sword Master, Bei Feng.
Seemingly sensing the presence of spiritual awareness, Qin Haotian's gaze instantly turned towards the direction where the Tianxuan Sect members were located.
His gaze was extremely calm, without any imposing aura or use of spiritual power, yet it gave people a sense of oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Bai Ruixi naturally noticed Qin Haotian's actions as well. After taking a step forward, she frowned slightly and looked at Qin Haotian with some vigilance.
However, the other party did not make any other move, only a slight smile appeared on the corner of their mouth.
"Huh? Qin Haotian is actually smiling?"
For a moment, all the disciples of Tianxuan Sect and Ling Shou Sect were somewhat bewildered.
No one knew the deeper meaning behind Qin Haotian's smile.
However, some female disciples from other sects in the same Tianxuan Sect direction became infatuated and directly expressed that Qin Haotian was interested in them.
A minor disturbance broke out in the square.
"Do you recognize me?"
Qin Xin's gaze was sharp as he raised his head and looked at Qin Haotian, who seemed to be high above him, while he murmured softly.
Xia Yue and Shui Qingxi both knew some things about Qin Xin. After arriving in Zhongzhou, they learned some secrets through some inquiries. At this moment, they simply stood beside Qin Xin.
These small gestures touched Qin Xin's heart.
After Qin Haotian finished laughing, he immediately looked away and then focused his gaze on the very center of the Cloud Martial Hall Square.
The crowd followed his gaze and looked straight over.
"Buzz!"
As a ripple of power spread outwards, all the martial artists in the square were shaken to their core.
Qin Xin was in the crowd, so he was no exception. Fortunately, he had spiritual sense and was able to detect the stone pillar in the center of the square after entering it.
This stone pillar is as thick as three people can encircle, and it seems to be the foundation supporting the entire land. It looks like an ordinary stone pillar with nothing special about it.
However, unlike other stone pillars, this one is carved with all sorts of intricate patterns, and with each turn, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth is released.
As the figure of an old man with white hair slowly appeared on the stone pillar, all the disciples who were entering the Cloud Palace for the first time bowed at the old disciple's signal.
"The spirit of the temple!"
A unified voice proclaiming the title echoed directly across the center of the square.
As everyone raised their heads, hundreds of figures were instantly sent flying, seemingly flung out of the Cloud Martial Hall by a burst of energy.
These people all had one thing in common: they didn't bow down; some even stood aside and discussed it.
"A mere temple spirit, and I never expected him to have such a temper!"
"Qin Xin, you'd better be careful. This guy is no ordinary person."
Danqing immediately reminded Qin Xin in his mind.
Qin Xin was naturally aware of this. Although the spirit of the Cloud Palace had many similarities with the spirits of some top-tier spiritual artifacts, there was a significant difference between the two.
The most important point is that this spirit can cultivate on its own, and its strength will continue to grow stronger over time.
"The various sects have already informed us about the trials in the Cloud Palace."
"Enter this trial realm in order, and your ranking will be determined by the points you earn within it."
"The top ten will qualify to participate in the Nine Domains Martial Arts Tournament."
"In addition, you will also receive a spiritual infusion training at the Cloud Palace!"
The spirit of the temple stood atop the stone pillar. After a slight tremor, a teleportation array was activated, and a light screen appeared on the pillar.
"Spiritual infusion cultivation!"
Qin Xin also felt a sense of unease.
Before entering the Cloud Martial Hall, Qin Xin had heard about the Spirit Infusion Cultivation.
Generally, only extremely wealthy families would use incredibly precious resources and have some of the strongest members of the family help their young disciples directly evolve the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, integrating it into their physical bodies.
This effect can significantly reduce the cultivation time of young disciples without any side effects.
"It seems I need to make a good effort. If I can reach the Yuan Dan realm, I'll have more confidence when facing Qin Haotian!"
A decision immediately formed in Qin Xin's mind.
This secret realm trial is inaccessible to martial artists who have reached the Dharma Aspect Realm. Within the secret realm, there are countless demonic beasts and some rather unique species. As long as you kill them, you can obtain corresponding points.
Of course, fighting each other is not prohibited in the secret realm; the key to getting a top ranking is to steal each other's points.
"Once inside, you'd better move together so you can look out for each other."
"If danger arises, you can crush this talisman and leave the secret realm immediately."
As Bai Ruixi spoke, she distributed the six spirit talismans to Qin Xin and the others.
Qin Xin held the talisman in his hand and was slightly surprised to feel the flowing power of the laws on it.
To create such a complete power of laws within this talisman would require at least the strength of the Heavenly Profound Realm.
This shows how much Tianxuan Sect values its disciples. As for other forces, they also provided their disciples with some means of survival.
However, there are not many sects that can afford to be as extravagant as the Tianxuan Sect.
After some disciples stepped into the secret realm teleportation array, their names and sect information would appear on the light screen outside the stone pillar.
"The most dangerous thing in this secret realm is not the demonic beasts, but some sects and families."
"These people use all sorts of methods. We don't require you to win any prizes; just come back safely."
Just as Qin Xin and the others were about to enter, Bai Ruixi spoke up.
Qu Yue, who was standing next to her, was the same.
Before stepping into the teleportation array, Qin Xin glanced at Qin Haotian, who was already sitting cross-legged to the side.
However, the other party made no response, as if in his eyes, someone who had not even reached the Dharma Aspect Realm could not possibly pose any danger to him.
Of course, his arrogance was not without reason. After all, even if Qin Xin used many methods, it would be impossible for him to defeat a martial artist at the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
