"Level 10!"
A tenth point of light flashed above the Spirit Gate, and the disciples watching exclaimed in surprise.
"Quickly inform the Pavilion Master that this young man must be invited over!"
A voice rang out in the pavilion, and at the same time, several figures suddenly disappeared.
The original Eighth Elder looked at Qin Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with admiration in his eyes. When he saw the tenth light flash, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Beginner difficulty? But being able to pass the tenth level still shows great talent and ability."
The Eighth Elder, hidden beneath the black robe, murmured softly.
~~~~~~
Inside the spiritual realm, Qin Xin felt as if his internal organs were being cooked under the scorching heat, making it difficult for him to breathe. He felt as if a large stone was pressing on his chest.
Qin Xin worked hard to circulate his Desolate God Battle Body, and the blood energy around his body surged continuously, relieving the suffocating feeling of being scorched.
Only when the redness from the scorching heat gradually faded did Qin Xin open his eyes and exhale a breath of scorching air.
"This monster is truly terrifying. If it weren't for the Spirit Devouring Stone, it probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the scorching heat of this starfire!"
Qin Xin gasped in surprise, his skin still trembling slightly.
The Starfire Spirit Tiger's charged attack unleashed flames that seemed to possess the power of stars. These flames clung to the martial artist's body, continuously absorbing their true energy to strengthen itself until the martial artist's true energy was exhausted, at which point it was reduced to ashes. Neither true energy robes nor true energy armor could withstand it, which was precisely the terrifying aspect of this Starfire.
Fortunately, Qin Xin possessed the Spirit Devouring Stone, which prevented the starfire from spreading into his Niwan Palace. This allowed him to activate the Desolate God Battle Body in time and mobilize spiritual power to extinguish the starfire.
Thus, the scorching pain that Qin Xin endured was unbearable for most people.
"The eleventh level, I wonder what it will be."
Qin Xin's lips curled slightly. Although he knew that this body was an illusion, the real pain made him feel afraid.
A chill swept over him, and Qin Xin rubbed his body, shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but glance down.
Although this spiritual realm can simulate everything from the outside world, it cannot conjure clothes again. It's possible that Qin Xin simply doesn't know how to conjure clothes, and for the time being, he can only stand there naked.
"Um?"
Just as Qin Xin was rubbing his slightly cold body, a strange red aura flowed around him.
A somewhat alluring woman's figure suddenly materialized rapidly, startling Qin Xin so much that he quickly turned his head away.
In the instant she turned her head, the woman waved her hand lightly, and a stream of red energy swept Qin Xin into it. His eyes glazed over, and when he opened them again, he was already gone from the spiritual realm.
"Is this the strength of a Qi Sea Realm expert?"
Qin Xin murmured to himself, feeling a sense of fear towards the alluring woman at the eleventh level, a fear that even some Yuanfu Realm experts did not possess.
"Opening the first level of enlightenment, breaking through ten barriers, and being granted one hundred spiritual powers."
A somewhat loud voice quietly rang out from within the Spirit Gate. Then, a stream of light flashed in the crystal in Qin Xin's hand, and the Spirit Gate vanished like a wisp of smoke.
"It can actually attract the spirits of the Spirit Realm!"
"One hundred psionic energy? That's way too much!"
For a moment, the disciples inside the pavilion were filled with discussions, some expressing envy, and others surprise.
After the gate to the spiritual realm disappeared, Qin Xin regained control of his body. Sensing the strange looks he was receiving, he knew his attempt to pass the trial had attracted their attention.
"Not bad, the beginner level difficulty has actually attracted the spirit of the Spirit Realm. You are currently on the main peak of the Kun Sect, right?"
The Eighth Elder scrutinized Qin Xin from head to toe, and asked a question.
"Yes."
Qin Xin looked at the old man in black robes in front of him and nodded in reply.
"The main peak has been abandoned and will not be of much benefit to your cultivation. You can choose any of the other four peaks."
The Eighth Elder looked at Qin Xin and said calmly.
"Thank you for your kind offer, senior, but I think the main peak is fine and I don't want to change it arbitrarily," Qin Xin politely declined.
"So what if you've broken through to the tenth level? What's there to be proud of?"
"To actually refuse the Eighth Elder's invitation, that's really ungrateful!"
Several sarcastic remarks reached Qin Xin's ears, but Qin Xin himself felt nothing of the arrogance they were talking about. He just wanted to stay in one place quietly.
"Think about it first. If you've made up your mind, you can come and find me directly."
The Eighth Elder also felt a sense of regret for Qin Xin's talent and couldn't bear to see him wasting his time on the main peak. After all, he had seen many exceptionally talented individuals who wanted to reopen the main peak, but all of them ultimately failed.
"Qin Xin, is it? How about coming to my Lei Pavilion?"
Just as Qin Xin was about to take his leave and return to the main peak, Yun Yi walked in from outside the pavilion with a loud voice.
Not long after Yun Yi finished his challenge in the Spirit Realm and left, a disciple from the Thunder Pavilion came to tell him that another disciple had entered the tenth level, so he rushed over in a flurry.
He happened to run into Qin Xin, who was about to leave, and that's when he extended the invitation.
"Lei Ge, is that it? I'm not interested."
Qin Xin curled his lip and said, putting aside the fact that Lei Ge's strength among the four peaks is not very strong, just considering the conflict between Lei Ge and Fan Hua Ge, Qin Xin naturally did not want to join.
"Yun Yi, don't waste your time. With the meager strength of your Thunder Pavilion, no one will even look at you."
A young man followed Yun Yi in and overheard Qin Xin's refusal, and immediately joined in with a sarcastic remark.
"Hmph! Li Luan, your Xifeng Tianxun Pavilion and my Lei Pavilion are evenly matched."
Yun Yi was not to be outdone and retorted directly.
"It's quite lively. It seems someone is trying to steal people from my North Peak."
A young man dressed in a Taoist robe, with a heroic air about him and somewhat feminine features, attracted the attention of all the disciples in the pavilion as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I say, Yu Haoqian, you are one of the three peak masters of the North Peak. It's a bit inappropriate for you to come here directly to snatch disciples for the Dao Asking Pavilion."
The man named Li Luan had a helpless look in his eyes, as if he was somewhat wary of Yu Haoqian.
"So what if I'm Fengzi? I'm still a disciple of the Dao Asking Pavilion."
Yu Haoqian didn't care about what Li Luan said. After all, there was no rule in the inner courtyard that prohibited peak members from recruiting disciples for the peaks they had previously belonged to. However, if it was too blatant, it would cause dissatisfaction among the other peaks within the peak.
Besides the Pavilion Master, the highest-ranking members of the Kunmen Sect are the Peak Masters. These Peak Masters are selected from the ten strongest disciples among all the disciples of the four peaks. Of course, these ten are also people on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. In addition, there are the core disciples, who are usually the closed-door disciples of the Pavilion Masters. For example, Qin Xue is a core disciple of the Fanhua Pavilion.
"I'm sorry everyone, with so many invitations, it's not appropriate for me to go anywhere else. I'll stay on the main peak."
Seeing the noisy group in front of him, Qin Xin just wanted to get away as soon as possible, because he seemed to have grasped something in the eleventh level and was eager to go back and comprehend it.
