The Fated One, You've Finally Come

"This Qin Jiuxiao truly lives up to his reputation for having powerful connections."

In the distance, watching Qin Jiuxiao enter the palace, Lu Changzhi murmured softly.

He could naturally see that Qin Jiuxiao's words, seemingly well-intentioned, were actually a deliberate attempt to frame Luo Zhen.

And it was successful.

Putting everything else aside, just look at Luo Zhen's clenched fist at this moment.

It's very likely that they already hold a grudge against Qin Jiuxiao.

To be resented by Heavenly Sha Lone Star, to a certain extent, seems...

Is this a good thing?

Regaining his attention, Lu Changzhi also noticed that the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit in the palace had disappeared.

"System?"

Lu Changzhi called out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound that hadn't been heard for a long time rang out.

"Master, I'm here."

At the same time, a system notification sounded:

Simplification complete. Obtained: Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit *1.

"Not bad." Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up.

Now, enter the system.

Sure enough, the Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit was Jingjing waiting there.

"Alright, now our esteemed guest truly deserves the title."

With a thought to himself, Lu Changzhi turned his gaze back to the palace.

"Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined; good fortune has arrived, now let's see how bad fortune will come."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but think of something.

Not all souls are in danger; the kind Gu Chen encountered last time was relatively rare.

In some places where traditions are passed down, the souls of the original owners still remain, but their intentions are good.

Let's see what happens next.

Of course, there is another reason.

The viewing task was completed without any notification at this point.

As Lu Changzhi was thinking about this.

Before the palace, a protective array of light rose, isolating the palace from the outside world. It was incredibly solid, as if nothing could destroy it.

The very top of those steps was right at the edge of the formation.

Seeing this, the other members of the group all showed expressions of regret.

I thought I might have a chance to compete.

But the current situation appears incredibly cruel.

Compared to Qin Jiuxiao's nonchalant attitude, they were ultimately far inferior.

Don't be discouraged, look for opportunities elsewhere.

A powerful figure transmitted their voice.

In a moment, several people came to their senses and quickly retreated back to where the light screen was located.

Since there is no hope here, let's settle for second best.

"The formation here is also Saint Rank Mid Grade, but it wasn't left by Saint King Chen; the difference is still quite significant."

Chen Gan's gaze lingered on the light outside the palace for a moment before he slowly spoke:

"I wonder if we can learn anything about the Saint King Chen from the person who passed it down here."

Fang Ling and the others also looked over, and then nodded slightly.

Although they were not skilled in Dao of Formations, they could still sense the difference in skill between each other.

As for what Chen Gan said next, they also had some expectations.

The legacy of the Saint King is beyond description in terms of both value and importance.

Moreover, aside from the title of Saint King itself, Chen Fangyuan represents the pinnacle of Dao of Formations in this Land of the Four Directions.

If the Cloud Heaven Holy Land can obtain it, they should study it carefully.

This will surely cause the Holy Land's strength to surge, making it the leader of the three Holy Lands.

Inside the hall.

After Qin Jiuxiao entered, he noticed a line of text left on the ground.

"Congratulations, junior. Simply sit on the jade throne in front, and you will receive my inheritance."

The text is short, but the meaning is very clear.

Qin Jiuxiao looked up and ahead.

In the vast palace, the towering white jade throne stood Jingjing at the very front.

Qin Jiuxiao was about to step forward when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he paused, trying to speak:

"Senior?"

Just now, on that white jade throne, he sensed a fluctuation of energy.

He did not proceed forward, but instead cautiously observed the throne.

Having experienced the Eastern Region twice before, he is no longer the same person he was before.

It's better to be cautious. Last time, I was too careless and unknowingly put myself in a bad position, which resulted in a huge loss.

Now, this place is once again showing signs of life.

We must be wary.

"You've finally arrived, my destined one."

At this moment, a voice slowly rang out, and then, a figure slowly materialized on the white jade throne.

With a white beard Baimei, and a smiling face, he looked very kind and approachable.

Qin Jiuxiao's expression shifted, and he became even more vigilant.

He's been robbed so many times.

This time, we must not be deceived by appearances.

Last time in the Heavenly Azure Ruins, Li Qingfeng seemed to be kindly saving me, but behind my back he stole everything from me.

These are all lessons learned.

However, he did not show it, but said:

"Junior Qin Jiuxiao greets Senior."

Qin Jiuxiao.

Qi Zhan read the name aloud and nodded slightly:

"Indeed, judging from your voice and appearance, you are no ordinary person. To have passed the numerous tests I left behind and come this far is enough to show your extraordinary nature."

Qi Zhan tried to find an explanation.

At this moment, his heart was not only somewhat unsettled, but also churning with immense turmoil.

Just now, just now!

He sensed that he had protected the Transcendent Fruit with countless formations and mechanisms.

That's all!

It was spotless; even the surrounding mud had been dug into a pit.

This sudden turn of events immediately unsettled him, and he instinctively wanted to investigate.

This Transcendent Fruit was extremely important to him.

In fact, it could be said that he orchestrated such a grand scheme all for the sake of this fruit.

Now, it seems to have vanished without a trace?

No one could stand that.

Right now, he needs to confirm it.

But having lived for so many years and orchestrated such a grand scheme, his character is certainly extraordinary.

Although this incident had caused quite a stir, he hadn't forgotten that someone destined to join him had now entered.

If the clues are discovered, the situation could become even worse.

The only drawback is that it seems the younger generation still sensed the fluctuation.

Therefore, one can only make a show of oneself, say a few words, and try to dispel the other party's suspicions.

As for what he said, even he himself felt it was false.

The so-called test was not difficult at all.

Those who are able to enter the palace must have been the most outstanding in terms of aptitude, cultivation level, and physique from the very beginning.

There was absolutely no pressure along the way.

In short, it was predetermined.

As for the others, no matter how much perseverance and courage they possess, they have absolutely no chance of getting in.

After all, those things belong to one's mind and nature.

It's not a good thing for him to devour souls.

"You flatter me, senior."

Qin Jiuxiao opened his mouth, about to say something more, when Qi Zhan waved his hand:

"Having existed for too long, I am now on my deathbed, and the legacy lies with those present..."

As he spoke, Qi Zhan's figure began to gradually fade away.

Before he could finish speaking, he had vanished completely.

"Since that's the case, then let me take your opportunity."

Qin Jiuxiao lowered his gaze slightly, walked step by step toward the white jade throne, took a deep breath, and slowly sat down.
