Preparations complete

After the probing ended, the opponent seemed to have found Chen Ping's weakness and launched a strong attack.

However, he seemed to have underestimated the defensive capabilities of the Giant Rock Tortoise Martial Soul, and several rounds of strong attacks ended in failure.

From the stands, Qiangu Changkong said anxiously, "Chen Ping's turtle-like playing style is probably going to lead to a loss."

Wu Qi shook his head, "For Defense-Type Spirit Master to defeat Power Attack-Type Spirit Master, they can only rely on their own defensive strength to wear down their opponent's condition. Besides, this is a challenge against a higher-level opponent."

A level 51 Soul King will consume a lot of Soul Power to activate their Fifth Soul Skill.

Therefore, if Chen Ping wants to win, he can only force his opponent to use their Fifth Soul Skill and withstand the pressure.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Ping is not without a chance.

The fight in the Arena became increasingly intense.

Chen Ping is Peak Soul Ancestor, so his Fourth Soul Skill does not consume much Soul Power.

Furthermore, his Fourth Soul Skill is an offensive Soul Skill.

His opponent's attacks cannot harm him, but once his attacks hit, his opponent will be severely injured.

With both formidable defense and considerable offensive power, Chen Ping is not so easily defeated.

Shortly after, Staff from the Spirit Hall came to the audience seats and personally handed the two men documents containing top-secret information about the Lost Grand Canyon.

When they left their residence, they did not conceal their presence and instead made their way to the Great Soul Arena, making them easy for the Staff to find.

With the outcome of the match no longer in doubt, Qiangu Changkong followed Wu Qi back to the Rest Room at Wu Qi's invitation.

The document produced by the Worship Hall was incredibly detailed, outlining every possible danger one might encounter in the Lost Grand Canyon.

However, there was no Route Map included.

Finding the right route and successfully evacuating is also part of the challenge.

"According to the information, this Lost Grand Canyon is a Sand Land. Is this a canyon?" Qiangu Changkong, somewhat puzzled.

After a moment's thought, Wu Qi said, "Perhaps the canyon is merely the entrance to the entire Lost Land."

"Regardless, traveling through the Sand Land could lead to a water shortage. The training only allows each of us to carry one Soul Tool; fill both of our Soul Tool Soul Tool with water, and Chen Ping, fill yours with food."

During a break in the discussion, Chen Ping's Soul Fighting ended, and he returned to the Rest Room.

He was incredibly excited.

During the Spirit Master Competition, he did challenge Wu Qi and others who were above his level, but he failed every time.

This is his first time challenging someone of a higher level, and he has already won. Not to mention, he has already sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough. He only needs to go into seclusion for a while before he can officially break through to the Soul King level.

Beforehand, Wu Qi explained the plans for the training to him.

Chen Ping emptied the Soul Tool in his hand and handed it over to Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong for their use, then went into seclusion.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong, on the other hand, were procuring supplies within the city.

Moonlight Pavilion.

"Auntie, is there any news from Elder Uncle?"

Tang San understood that staying at the Moonlight Pavilion would not be of much help to his cultivation.

Only by returning to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge our ancestors can we find a better way to cultivate.

But things are never that easy.

The incident involving Tang Hao led to a fierce argument within the Clear Sky Sect at the time.

The attitude of the Five Elders, in particular, made Tang San's path to recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan extremely difficult.

Tang Yuehua gently comforted him, "Little San, Tang Xiao is actively dealing with internal sect issues. Besides, with your current strength, going back might cause you trouble."

"Since you want to go out and gain experience, how about this? Your aunt has a job that's perfect for you."

Moonlight Pavilion wasn't a violent organization, so what kind of duties could it possibly have?

Tang San's assigned task was to assist the grain transport team in delivering grain to the Clear Sky Sect.

However, Tang San could not act under the identity of Tang Yin. To keep his identity confidential, Tang Yuehua forged another identity for him.

After a pause, Tang Yuehua continued, "When the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan confronted Prince Xue Xing, were you involved, Little San?"

Tang San's heart tightened.

He did this without Tang Yuehua's knowledge.

After all, Tang Yuehua didn't quite approve of Princess Xue Ke's attempt to extract information from him.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Little San Tang Yuehua sighed, "You're really foolish, mistress."

"Previously, His Crown Prince wanted to win you over, but he has been slow to act, which means he hasn't dispelled his concerns about you."

"Prince Xue Xing is eccentric and violent, but he is also meticulous and unlikely to give outsiders any leverage against him."

"I cannot speculate on the details, but Princess Xue Ke is not a core member of the Imperial Family. The fact that she knew this news clearly indicates that Xue Qinghe did it intentionally."

By using this opportunity to target Prince Xue Xing, and at the same time to test Tang San's identity, Xue Qinghe could kill two birds with one stone.

Tang San was so angry at the time that he didn't think of this aspect, but now, looking back, he feels a chill of fear.

Tang San hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what should I do?"

To this day, Xue Qinghe has shown no intention of attacking him, presumably because his identity has not yet been confirmed.

After all, who knows if Princess Xue Ke only told him about this?

However, entrusting one's fate to others is undoubtedly a foolish thing to do.

Tang Yuehua said with a faint smile, "That's why I sent you away for a while to avoid the limelight."

"There are quite a few people who are close to Princess Xue Ke. Even Xue Qinghe probably can't be sure who she told about this."

"At a time like this, it might not be a bad thing for you to deliberately disappear from Xue Qinghe's sight."

Tang San had no doubts and willingly accepted Tang Yuehua's arrangement.

Five days later, Wu Qi and the other two left the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Ping officially advanced to the Soul King powerhouse.

On their way to the Lost Grand Canyon, they were led by the Subduing Demon Douluo.

The Lost Grand Canyon is located on a desolate plain where Two Great Empires meet. No one lives here, and even war will not affect this place.

Everywhere here is a scene of flying sand and stones, even the sky and earth are dyed the color of sand and stones.

Wu Qi pulled down his hood and asked in a deep voice, "Seventh Grandfather, how far is it from here to the Lost Grand Canyon?"

The Subduing Demon Douluo used his Soul Power barrier to briefly separate the surrounding sand and dust, allowing everyone to catch their breath.

The Subduing Demon Douluo said, "It's not far."

"However, there's something I need to remind you of privately."

"Deepest in the Lost Land lies an Oasis, where many Exiles live. The Sand Mandala is a medicinal herb that aids in cultivation, and thus many Exiles are vying for it."

The Lost Grand Canyon is different from the Death Grand Canyon; it is inhabited by Soul Beast. Exiles cultivate within it have the opportunity to acquire Soul Ring and advance their ranks.

Given the immense importance of the Sand Mandala, a fierce and bloody battle is inevitable in its struggle for control.

After a pause, the Subduing Demon Douluo continued, "Not all directions lead to that Oasis. Once inside, try your best to head west."

"The Oasis is located in the heart of the Lost Land; if you miss it, you could easily get lost."
