The matter of entering the ancient monument's gate had temporarily come to an end.

There were still five days until the ranking tournament, so Zhou Qing decided to stay at the entrance for the time being.

In the meantime, he made another move and helped Su Mu expel the remaining aura of death.

Luo Xuan and Yao Qing's matter had been used as a shield by the ancient tombstone door, and Su Mu had agreed to help him refine the magic tool. In consideration of reason, Zhou Qing had to put in some effort.

On the third night, in the depths of the ancient monument, a huge amount of golden light rose into the sky and triggered many strange phenomena.

Without the threat of death, the veteran Mage Expert, Su Mu, had returned to his peak state!

At the same time Su Mu's battle prowess was restored, Zhou Qing also obtained many benefits from the process.

With the help of this pure aura of death, he spent a night breaking through the two acupoints on the fourth step, and his cultivation increased a bit more.

The next morning.

Zhou Qing was sitting cross-legged in his courtyard, consolidating his cultivation.

There was a spirit vein under the ancient monument's entrance, and the spirit energy was extremely abundant, making it very suitable for cultivation.

After several days of nurturing and nurturing, his cultivation base that had abruptly increased by leaps and bounds had also solidified.

Just as he was considering the pros and cons of joining the ancient monument, light footsteps sounded out from outside the courtyard. Zhou Qing's heart stirred, and he opened his eyes.

"Song..." Young Master Song, may I enter? "

Su Leng's pleasant sounding voice sounded out like a bird, and it seemed to carry a trace of a peculiar nervousness.

Zhou Qing was puzzled. What was she here for?

Although Su Leng was unruly and willful as he repeatedly made things difficult for himself, he was completely different from Luo Xuan and the others.

Her enmity towards herself was only due to a moment of jealousy and her nature was not bad.

As a result, Zhou Qing did not hold a grudge against her, but neither did he hold a good impression of her.

"Of course."

Not long after Zhou Qing finished speaking, Su Leng, who wore a red shirt, walked in slowly. He lowered his head as if he didn't dare raise his head.

Compared to a few days ago in the Procedural Hall, the difference was like heaven and earth. Even Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw the huge difference.

Su Leng's beautiful face blushed slightly when she noticed Zhou Qing's playful gaze, and she wished for nothing more than to find a hole and hide in it.

Why are you laughing? If not for father's request, this lady would not have come to find you, this violent madman!

However, I was ridiculing him back then, would he come and settle the score with me?

It shouldn't be, right? This was his home turf!

However, this fellow even dared to kill the elites of the Mysterious Sky Sect. All of these evil thoughts came out together …

At the same time that Su Leng secretly criticized, he was slightly perturbed.

The strength that Zhou Qing had displayed in the battle for the spots, as well as his decisive character, had truly frightened her.

"Miss Su, what's the matter?"

Zhou Qing asked coldly.

This girl didn't say anything. After entering, she lowered her head. It was unknown what she was pondering, which made him even more puzzled.

Only now did Su Leng come back to his senses and he raised his head to look at Zhou Qing. He was slightly flustered. "Erm …" Father wants me to give this to you! "

As she spoke, she waved her hand and a heavy monument appeared, smashing down with a loud bang, causing the ground to slightly tremble.

As Su Leng was at the peak of the Core Formation Stage, controlling his strength was extremely easy. In the end, he didn't pay attention to it in panic, which was why he caused such a huge commotion.

Seeing Zhou Qing looking at him with a strange expression, Su Leng became even more embarrassed, and pretended to inadvertently avoid Zhou Qing's gaze.

After hearing what Su Leng said, Zhou Qing instantly understood.

It was just a gift of weapons. Su Mu didn't come, yet he was asking his daughter to come over. This old man couldn't be planning to use a beauty trap to keep him at the entrance of the ancient monument, right?

At this thought, Zhou Qing's heart skipped a beat. He quickly released his Spiritual Sense and immediately felt something strange happening in the courtyard.

Zhou Qing looked in that direction, a faint smile on his face.

Su Mu was indeed spying on them!

At the same time, somewhere in the ancient monument's entrance.

Su Mu coughed dryly and withdrew his Spiritual Sense. His expression was quite awkward.

"This brat is full of ghosts and spirits, he's about the same as those old fellows …"

However, he soon realized something. He suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of Zhou Qing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"He can actually sense me …" His consciousness is this strong? "

In the small courtyard.

Su Leng stared at Zhou Qing in a daze.

At this moment, the latter was staring at the corner of the small courtyard and laughing coldly, while Su Leng followed and was stunned.

There was nothing there. Who was he sneering at?

Apart from his violent tendencies, this fellow couldn't be a lunatic, right?

The more he thought about it, the more possible it became. Su Leng couldn't help but shudder.

This kind of weirdo, his father even wanted him to come in contact with him more, wasn't this just pushing him into a pit of fire?

Thinking up to this point, Su Leng clenched her teeth in anger.

Zhou Qing naturally did not know what Su Leng was thinking. Sensing that Su Mu's consciousness had retreated, he helplessly shook his head and immediately cast his gaze towards the tablet that Su Leng had brought with him.

With one look, his eyes immediately brightened. He stood up, walked up, and began to carefully observe.

This monolith was square and extremely wide, and it was not any weaker than Su Mu's monument. However, it was completely jet-black without the slightest hint of luster. With just a glance, an ancient and heavy feeling assaulted their senses.

Unlike Su Mu's golden tablet, this profound tablet only had four bloody inscriptions engraved on it. At first glance, it was only a high-grade artifact with five inscription patterns.

Only when Zhou Qing covered it with his Spiritual Awareness did he finally understand.

Beneath those five inscriptions were concealed two mysterious patterns, but they had fused with the inner part of the tablet. Judging from the outside, it was impossible to detect them.

Su Mu had done this because Zhou Qing's current strength was still weak. If he took out a high-grade Seven inscription pattern magic tool to fight, it would be too obvious and attract the attention of others.

His thoughts also fell into Zhou Qing's lap, and he immediately felt a surge of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Clasping his hand, a cold feeling entered into his palm. Zhou Qing slightly exerted his strength and suddenly pulled the Profound Tablet up.

The weight of this monolith should be over two hundred jin. It was not very light, but to cultivators, it was normal.

It was common for many cultivators to use huge axes or hammer-type weapons that weighed four to five hundred jin. For example, that huge axe of Wang Liang from back then was definitely heavier than this Profound Tablet.

Bang bang.

Retreating a few steps, Zhou Qing brandished the profound tablet in his hand and a low sonic boom sounded out, causing his heart to be filled with joy.

This Profound Tablet was definitely able to perfectly bear the strength of his fleshly body!

The only regret was that the sect's ultimate technique, the《 Nine Styles of the Profound Tablet》, was temporarily unable to be practiced. Only by joining the sect could one obtain a method of cultivation.

However, Zhou Qing quickly tossed this matter to the back of his mind.

Even without the《 Nine Styles of the Profound Tablet》, just swinging it around was already enough.

He was extremely confident in his physical body's strength.

When facing an enemy, he would directly smash them with the monolith. If he were to attack with his full strength, he would probably be crushed to death at the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, and could even suppress those at the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm.

In the battle for the spots that day, if he had this tablet and the support of the Instantaneous Movement Technique, that Luo Xuan would not have had the chance to use the final move and would have been smashed to death by Zhou Qing.

The five high-grade weapons of the Seven Inscription Pattern was not made for nothing!

The tombstone was heavy, and it could easily destroy ten thousand techniques. After pondering for a moment, Zhou Qing decided to give this profound tablet artifact a name.

"Just call it... "Destruction of a Law Monument!"

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, and then happily kept the Law Breaking Monument into the Fated Stone Space.

"Miss Su, help me thank the Su Clan's main blacksmith."

Zhou Qing cupped his fist towards Su Leng and said seriously.

Su Leng lightly nodded and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave.

However, just as he took two steps, he suddenly thought of something.

"Oh right, father also wanted me to tell you about the rules of the Soul Condensation competition."

Zhou Qing nodded calmly.

Although he knew the rules of the Ranking Tournament, he still revealed a bewildered expression, as if he was all ears.

Su Leng instantly felt disdain in his heart when he saw this.

He didn't know anything, and was indeed a boorish fellow who only knew how to fight!

"In the ranking tournament, the first match will be between spirit realm practitioners. The second match will be between spirit realm practitioners. Moreover, the first two matches were both arena matches, and were different when compared to the other matches. It was a duel between two people who were only at the Condensing Reality Realm … Do you know why? "

Su Leng had a serious expression as he put on a lecturing appearance, then he smiled craftily as he asked.

She was certain that Song Changqing was a reckless fool, and was waiting to see the latter make a joke of himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing directly opened his mouth and said: "The Spirit Opening Realm is the foundation, the Spirit Opening Realm is the respect, the Soul Condensation Realm is the true core strength of the Four Great Clans and the Hundred Families. Therefore, the most important thing is …" That's right, isn't it? "

There was one thing he did not say.

The reason why they placed so much emphasis on the Soul Formation stage competition was because of the Mysterious Sky Sect's selfishness!

Other than the disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sect who had gone out to gain experience, the participants of the Solidified Soul Realm competition were the Heaven's Pride members and potential seeds of the various sects.

To be able to enter the top ten in the competition and become a Mage in the future was something certain.

How could the Mysterious Sky Sect not be moved by such a heaven's pride expert?

Therefore, the special rules of the Solidified Soul Realm competition could be considered as one of the sect's selections.

Those who entered the top ten rankings could choose to join the Mysterious Sky Sect. As long as they chose to enter the top ten, they could directly become the elite disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sect!

However, if the top four Chosen were to join the Profound Sky Sect, they would be able to directly become a personal disciple!

The two identities of the Mysterious Sky Sect's elite disciples and direct disciples were extremely tempting to cultivators. Hence, almost no one would reject the top ten prodigies of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

In other words, even if they refused, the Mysterious Sky Sect would still give these people the title of "Guest Warrior", which could be considered as having a place in the Mysterious Sky Sect.

No matter what, the Mysterious Sky Sect was still the ultimate beneficiary …

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Su Leng was slightly stunned and grunted in slight embarrassment.

He didn't expect this boorish fellow to know something that he shouldn't be allowed to steal the limelight!

Su Leng didn't dare allow Zhou Qing to continue speaking, so he didn't continue to keep Zhou Qing in suspense and spoke.

"There's one other reason besides what you said."

"When one reaches the Soul Formation stage, they can use magic tools and talismans. After condensing seven souls, they can even control objects, greatly different from when they're in the Spirit Opening Realm. Thus, the difference in power levels between cultivators is not very great. "

"Those with powerful talismans have battle prowess far surpassing cultivators of the same realm, but they do not have their own strength, so usually, talismans are prohibited in the arena matches. Otherwise, if every immortal gate were to give their disciples a few talismans, how could the competition be fair?"

Zhou Qing nodded his head in agreement.

Talismans were prohibited on the stage, and this was an unwritten rule of the Profound Heaven Continent.

Pausing for a moment, Su Leng continued, "But normally, external strength can actually be considered to be a type of strength, and can't be completely denied …." Therefore, we do not use the fighting stage for the Solidified Soul Realm competition. "

Seeing Zhou Qing's ignorant appearance, Su Leng started to feel slightly complacent in his heart, then he laughed before continuing, "The Solidified Soul Realm competition's arena is in the Xumi Realm!"

Although Zhou Qing had known this for a long time, when he heard the three words' Sumeru Realm ', he was still moved. Information regarding this place quickly surfaced in his mind.

Several hundred years ago, when a true expert was cultivating, they had unintentionally discovered a small world.

Small worlds were filled with spiritual energy. Mountains, rivers, ancient trees, flowers, plants, everything. The only drawback was that it wasn't that big. It was about a thousand miles in radius.

The Mortal Realm was already the highest level of existence in the Profound Heaven Continent, but even after using all of their strength, they could only tear open a small space. They did not have the ability to open a small world.

As a result, this small world was very likely created by an ancient supreme elder. This was an existence far more powerful than the human realm, only, after experiencing many changes over the years, it became ownerless.

From then on, this small world was controlled by the Mysterious Sky Sect, and was also named the Sumeru Realm.

Speaking of the Sumeru Realm, Zhou Qing suddenly thought of the Myriad Demons Cave.

The latter was also an independent world, but it was vast and boundless. It was countless times larger than the Sumeru Realm!

A powerhouse who could open the Sumeru world was far more tyrannical than a human being. What sort of supreme expert was it that could open up such an incomparably broad and independent world like the Ten Thousand Devils Cave?

Moreover, from what the Cursed Spirit had said, the Thousand Devil Cave seemed to be a cage with a large fellow imprisoned inside. Just how powerful was that terrifying existence that it needed the Thousand Devils Cavern to be imprisoned?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

He didn't dare continue thinking about it and hurriedly recovered from his shock, continuing to listen to Su Leng explain the rules.
