From time to time, fights would break out in the periphery of the array formation. Some cultivators with higher cultivation bases would snatch the tokens of the weaker cultivators. However, no one came to trouble Qin Fen. Perhaps they were frightened by the power of his sword.
Qin Fen finally calmed down for a while. He roughly looked around and found that there were at least 80,000 to 90,000 cultivators gathered in the wilderness. This densely packed crowd was like a tide, and their realms were all different. Qin Fen even felt a few extremely powerful auras, which were definitely above the Hollow God Realm.
"Elder Mo You, it's that brat. He took a spot from the White Deer Sect and caused the old man from the White Deer Sect to fall out with me. In the end, he wasn't even willing to give up a token."
There were five people standing under a tree. The man who spoke was Shen Xu Hen, who had gone to the White Deer Sect to ask for a token. His eyes were cold as he stared at Qin Feng.
The oldest of the five glanced at Qin Feng and said arrogantly, "He's just an ant at the Seven Changes Buddha Light. Once we enter the thirteen palaces, we'll kill him. As for the disciples of the White Deer Sect, we'll kill every one we see!"
"Elder Mo You, that guy is just at the Seven Changes Buddha Light. Leave him to me." The youth standing next to Godlike Mo You suddenly spoke. Although he was the youngest of the five, his demeanor and position made it seem as if he had the highest status.
Shen Mo You immediately smiled, "Okay, I'll leave that brat to young master. With young master's True Spirit Realm cultivation, it'll only take ten moves to kill him."
The young man was the only son of God One Finger's Sect Master, Shen Wu Xing. As for Shen Mo and the others, they had just arrived and hadn't seen Qin Feng kill Zhang Fei, who was in the True Spirit Realm. Otherwise, Shen Wu Xing wouldn't have dared to stand out and say that he would personally kill Qin Feng.
More and more cultivators gathered in the wilderness. Suddenly, a group of cultivators wearing white robes with star patterns engraved on their chests arrived. When they appeared, the cultivators in the crowd immediately began discussing the newcomers. Some of the cultivators even made way for them, seemingly fearful of the newcomers.
"It's the disciples of the six-star sect Xingkun Sect!"
"The disciples of the Xingkun Sect are all fierce. They don't look like they're here to enter the thirteen palaces. They look like they're here to fight."
"You still don't know? A few days ago, someone stole a treasure from the Xingkun Weapon Shop in Panshan Market. Now, the Xingkun Sect has issued a city-wide arrest warrant to capture that person. "
"Holy shit! Which cultivator was so daring? How dare you steal the treasures of Xingkun Sect? "
It was hard for Qin Feng not to hear the discussions. Although he had changed his identity to Qiao Feng, he still felt a bit nervous. In the South Flat Continent, the sect leader of a four-star sect was at Nihility God Realm. A five-star sect even had a Body Condensation Stage cultivator. How strong would a six-star sect be? Qin Feng found it hard to imagine.
He was worried that his identity would be exposed. If he was really discovered, then he would definitely die this time.
At the same time, Qin Feng was filled with curiosity. He wondered just what secrets the two spirit turtle shells hid. For the Spirit Tortoise Shell to attract so much attention from the 6-star sect, the Star Kun Sect, and the Elder Hong Fei of the 5-star sect, the Ancient Cauldron Sect, it was all for the sake of that Spirit Tortoise Shell.
No matter how worried he was, there was no point. Qin Feng simply treated it calmly. He pulled a cultivator beside him and asked, "Daoist friend, I heard that the Xingkun Sect has been arresting people recently. Have they caught them yet?"
Qin Feng regretted asking the question. He realized that the other party looked like he was in his sixties and was already a True Spirit Peak Stage cultivator. On the Divine Supreme Continent, high-level cultivators looked down on low-level cultivators. If you asked a high-level cultivator a question, you would most likely be disdained and ignored.
Unexpectedly, the old man didn't put on airs. He said calmly, "They haven't caught them yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't be here looking for them."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Qin Feng saw the cultivators in the Xingkun Sect's uniform looking at the portraits one by one. It was probably because they were disciples of a six-star sect that the cultivators who were being interrogated didn't dare to show their anger.
Of course, Qin Feng wasn't just asking if they had found the person. This was just an entry point. He continued to ask, "I heard that person stole a treasure from the Xingkun Sect. What kind of treasure was it to make the Xingkun Sect issue a wanted order?"
The old man talked with Qin Feng for a while and introduced himself, "My name is Hao Yuelei, a loose cultivator. Young hero, you're so young, but you killed a True Spirit Realm Six cultivator with one strike. You must have hidden your strength …"
"As for the treasure you're talking about, I'm not too sure either. However, I've heard people say that it's the key to opening the Gate of Life."
Qin Feng was stunned, "Gate of Life? What is that place? Oh right, Senior Hao, junior's name is Qiao Feng. "
Hao Yuelei looked at Qin Feng in surprise, "Since you're here to explore the Thirteen Palaces, you don't know about the Gate of Life?"
Qin Feng realized that he had let the cat out of the bag again and quickly explained, "I've embarrassed myself in front of senior. Junior has been in closed door cultivation on Coiled Snake Mountain and usually doesn't ask about the outside world. It's only because the Thirteen Palaces opened that Master told me to come down the mountain to gain experience."
Hao Yuelei suddenly understood. There were actually many cultivators like Qin Feng in the South Flat Continent. Usually, they were genius cultivators in sects. They wouldn't be allowed to come out and quickly break through with the help of the sect's resources. Once they reached a certain level of strength, they would be allowed to come out to gain experience.
Qin Feng looked to be in his early thirties, but he had the strength to kill a True Spirit Realm Six cultivator. To Hao Yuelei, Qin Feng was indeed a genius cultivator.
"So that's how it is. It's normal that young hero Qiao doesn't know about the Gate of Life … The Gate of Life is in the Thirteen Palaces. It's a secret realm in the Thirteen Palaces. It's said that each palace has a secret realm. As for which palace the Gate of Life is in, that's hard to say."
Qin Feng realized that he only had a superficial understanding of the Thirteen Palaces. He had no idea about the deeper secrets. The more he learned about the Thirteen Palaces, the more interested he became in that place.
After talking to Hao Yuelei, Qin Feng realized that the two Spirit Tortoise Shells he obtained were the keys to open the Gate of Life. Although Hao Yuelei couldn't explain what the Gate of Life was for, he could tell from his tone that it was a sacred place.
During that time, the Xingkun Sect cultivators even checked Qin Feng's location. However, they couldn't find him. They only checked the portrait and avoided Qin Feng.
After a while, a majestic aura gushed out with the aura of a magnificent army coming from all directions.
The noisy crowd immediately quietened down and looked toward the sky in the north. Many cultivators' expressions changed drastically. Even the Ultimate Gods in the Empty God Realm were terrified.
An illusory figure had unknowingly appeared in the sky. It was like a bright moon, giving people the feeling that it could be seen but couldn't be touched.
"Senior Gu Wanjiao? It's really Senior Gu Wanjiao! "
"Every time the Thirteen Palaces opens, it's Senior Gu Wanjiao who activates the array formation. Looks like the Thirteen Palaces are about to open."
"Rumor has it that Senior Gu Wanjiao is the Grand Elder of the Wind God Valley, one of the few seven-star sects in the South Flat Continent. He has long entered the Ekayāna Tripod Realm. As for how long he has lived, I'm afraid even he himself can't remember."
"Senior Ekayāna Tripod Realm! I can't believe I'm able to see Senior Ekayāna Tripod Realm in my lifetime! "
After a short silence, it was followed by a tidal wave of discussion.
Qin Feng looked at the illusory figure in the sky and his heart was in turmoil.
In the North Sand Continent, the strongest people he knew were Immortal Supremacies like Immortal Barefoot. However, those powerful Supremacies were only in the Empty God Realm. As for whether there were any Body Condensation Realm cultivators in the North Sand Continent, Qin Feng wasn't sure.
However, in less than a month since he came to the South Flat Continent, he had already seen a few Void God cultivators and a few Body Condensation Realm seniors. Now, there was even a Ekayāna Tripod Realm cultivator floating in the sky. It was like a dream.
From his own knowledge and the discussions of the crowd, Qin Feng had a rough understanding of the sects in the South Flat Continent. Usually, the sect leader of a four-star sect would be in the Empty God Realm. Five-star sects would have a Body Condensation Realm sect leader. Six-star sects would probably have a Ekayāna Tripod Realm expert. In a seven-star sect, a Grand Elder would be in the Ekayāna Tripod Realm. Qin Feng guessed that the sect leader would most likely be in the Disaster Transformation Realm.
At this moment, Qin Feng also realised how funny his words to White Deer Sect's sect leader Bo Yi were. At that time, he was worried that there would be Ekayāna Tripod Realm or even Disaster Transformation Realm cultivators occupying the 13 palaces. Now, it seemed that even in the South Flat Continent, Ekayāna Tripod Realm and Disaster Transformation Realm cultivators were rare. They were the Grand Elders or even sect leaders of six-star and seven-star sects.
Gu Wanjiao floated silently in mid-air for a moment. It was as though he was in another world. His body gave off a mist-like aura. This aura was similar to that of a Void God Realm cultivator, but it was also completely different. As for what was different, Qin Feng couldn't understand it with his current cultivation. However, he had a feeling that the light figure in mid-air didn't exist. It was just an illusion …
"Dao friends, today is the opening of the 13 palaces once every ten years. I won't go into the details of the rules. Cultivators under 100 years old and with a token, please enter the teleportation array."
Gu Wanjiao suddenly spoke. No one could see his appearance clearly. Even his body was a hazy silhouette.
His voice seemed to come from an extremely far place, but it was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears and reverberated endlessly.
With that, Gu Wanjiao casually waved his hand. A curtain wall suddenly appeared in the space beneath his feet. When the curtain wall appeared, it brought along a powerful aura fluctuation. Qin Feng immediately felt that it was the energy of the array. At the same time, he was shocked. This teleportation array was definitely a Tier 9 or even higher.
"The array has opened!"
"Sect Leader, quickly return. Junior Brothers and I will be careful."
When the light screen appeared, the crowd was in an uproar!
Many people bade farewell to the sect disciples, and some people jumped into the white light.
This was Qin Feng's first time entering the 13 palaces. He was completely rash. He followed behind a group of cultivators and queued for more than ten minutes before he finally arrived in front of the array. When he saw the cultivators in front of him jump into the white light, he also jumped.
