"The third stage is the Heavenly Mechanics and Martial Arts Competition Stage."

    The third stage is also the final phase of the Inner Gate Grand Competition, featuring a tournament system with 40 participants advancing to the top 20.

    There are a total of twenty floating platforms, protected by formations, and a student must defend their post for three rounds to advance.

    However, the challengers and duels are randomly selected by the Heavenly Palace.

    At the end of this stage, the remaining 15 out of the 20 participants can challenge the Five True Inheritances.

    The Five True Inheritances cannot refuse the challenge!

    Qin Feng listened with a yawn and looked at Dan Taiwan Qingyi: "Senior Sister, you've said so much, what does it have to do with the ancient era's falling sword tombs guarded by Tenglong Kingdom and Lingyun Country?"

    "Little brother, you are the hope of our fourth peak, and I know your strength is unparalleled."

    "No matter what, you cannot bring shame to our fourth peak this time. In the first stage's Cloud Island, you can enter the Azure Array Transmission Door, as your array arts are exceptional. However, in the third stage's Heavenly Mechanics and Martial Arts Competition Platform, you will have to either challenge or defend against opponents, and it is impossible to defeat them using arrays."

    "So the only opportunity is sword arts!"

    In Dan Tai Qingyi's eyes, Qin Feng's cultivation method is merely trivial.

    The only thing he can rely on is his sword arts. He remembered his first encounter with Qin Feng, where Qin Feng cut down that stone monster with a single sword...

    "The sword tomb guarded by Tenglong Kingdom and Lingyun Country has treasures that can enhance the grade of your sword! Now there is only one day left, and you have no time to refine a powerful sword technique. The only option is to raise the grade of your sword."

    "There are star iron, phoenix true flame, and dragon fire crystal within the sword tomb. So, as long as you obtain these items, you can completely rely on these precious artifacts to elevate the grade of your sword. By then, your hope of advancing in the inner door grand competition will be much greater."

    "However, the sword tomb is a private property of Tenglong Kingdom and Lingyun Country..."

    Dan Taiwan Qingyi said this, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

    Qin Feng grinned, stretching his arms wide: "I get it, Senior Sister. You're worried about me and want me to advance."

    "That is, I have to steal..."

    "Hey, hey, hey! Who said to go steal? You... just take a look around to see if there are any scattered."

    "All right, I'll be going first."

    Dan Taiwan Qingyi left the sealed room.

    Qin Feng watched Dan Taiwan Qingyi's back, and he naturally knew what was going on.

    Now that his master Mu Qingxue is poisoned with the Xuanming poison, Qin Feng is the only hope for the fourth peak, so he cannot lose this inner door competition.

    Although Dan Tai Qingyi does not know that the ten-thousand-year-old ice-pearl and snow-lotus of Xinze Secret Garden can cure Mu Qingxue, she still hopes that Qin Feng can win...

    Qin Feng thought of the Star Sword, this ancient treasure that fell to Earth from the ancient times, containing powerful sword arts.

    During the duel with Lin Wuji at the Dan Tai family, the deranged Lin Wuji could have killed Qin Feng, but the Star Sword appeared with its sword spirit to protect him, saving Qin Feng's life...

    It's also time to upgrade the grade of the Star Sword.

    Only by doing so can I increase my chances of winning the inner door competition.

    ...

    Qin Feng practiced the Wu Xin Xin Tu and Shen Long Liqian in the sealed room for a while, before leaving after he had not yet breakthrough the fifth move.

    As soon as he left the sealed room, Liu Xian Xian came over.

    Shen Tianxin had been blocking Liu Xianxian from entering the sealed room, but Liu Xianxian paid no attention to that at all.

    Just in time, they met Qin Feng coming out of the sealed room.

    "Do you have something to ask me?" Qin Feng asked Liu Xianxian.

    Liu Xianxian thought back to the incident on the Wangchuan Cliff, where she abandoned Qin Feng and went out to seek a life alone, feeling a bit guilty.

    "Qin Feng... can you help me with something?" Liu Xianxian finished before biting her lower lip.

    Shen Tianxin, curious, asked: "Sister Liu, Qin Master is our fourth peak's. You don't have to be so difficult. Just say it."

    "It's not that I'm embarrassed..."

    Liu Xianxian kept her head down.

    "If you don't want to say it, I have other things to do."

    In Qin Feng's view, since his master Mu Qingxue was still poisoned and hadn't recovered, Liu Xianxian because of her wild nature, Mu Qingxue hadn't asked her to return to the fourth peak. As a disciple of the fourth peak, he didn't have to worry about it.

    Moreover, Qin Feng didn't help because of Liu Xianxian's personality. She was different from Shen Tianxin.

    Although Shen Tianxin was impulsive at first, this person is right when they are right and wrong when they are wrong, and is not afraid to admit it.

    However, Liu Xianxian belongs to the kind of people who don't distinguish between good and evil. She often acts freely because she is the daughter of Liu Wuhen.

    Qin Feng had some dislike for Liu Xianxian.

    The only thing he could tolerate about Liu Xianxian was her appearance; she truly had fair skin, a slender waist, and long legs...

    "One hundred high-grade spirit stones!" Liu Xianxian hurriedly said to the back of Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, then continued without paying any attention.

    "Two hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

    "Three hundred!"

    "Four hundred!"

    "Alright!" Qin Feng stopped in his tracks.

    He turned around and showed an shameless smile at Liu Xianxian, "As you said."

    "Hmph, such a money-hungry person, are you scared of being poor?" Liu Xianxian didn't expect that Qin Feng would only stop when she offered four hundred high-grade spirit stones. Deep down, she looked down on Qin Feng immensely!

    Shen Tianxin smiled and said, "Qin Master is really money-minded."

    Qin Feng shrugged at the contempt of the two women: "There's no other way. Only money is my foundation."

    "By the way, what is it that you need my help with? Make it brief, I don't have much time." Qin Feng crossed his arms.

    Liu Xianxian then told Qin Feng what she needed help with.

    Cheng Chonghong is pursuing Liu Xianxian and has prepared a Ten-Thousand-Year Coral Heart. He plans to confess his feelings to Liu Xianxian on the Yuntai.

    The Ten-Thousand-Year Coral Heart is a supreme treasure that can nurture the injured by the otherworldly flame.

    Moreover, it can store otherworldly fire!

    That thing is the supreme treasure of their Cheng family's imperial clan.

    Liu Xianxian doesn't want to refuse Cheng Chonghong, not because he is the son of the King of Lingyun Country, which is a high-level subsidiary country. In front of the Grand Mistress of the Heavenly Palace, a son of an imperial prince from such a country is completely unimportant.

    Although Cheng Chonghong is the fifth disciple of his family, Liu Xianxian naturally wants to give him some face.

    Furthermore, Cheng Chonghong was shameless enough to spread the word that he would propose to Liu Xianxian on the Cloud Platform tonight, and many inner-door disciples in the Heavenly Palace now know about this...

    Liu Xianxian has no choice but to go.

    Qin Feng, hearing this, was completely speechless. He looked at Liu Xianxian: "What do you need me for? The opponent is a true disciple. I can't beat him!"

    Qin Feng was slightly angry, thinking Liu Xianxian was looking for trouble for no reason.

    Qin Feng was somewhat angry, thinking Liu Xianxian was causing trouble for no reason. It was just then that he understood why Liu Wuhen didn't want Liu Xianxian to return to the Heavenly Palace.

    This little girl just likes to cause trouble!

    Shen Tianxin also couldn't figure it out. She thought for a moment and said to Liu Xianxian: "That's right, Sister Liu, Qin Master can't beat the true disciple. Besides, fighting won't solve the problem. You could just refuse him on the Cloud Platform, there's no need to...?"

    Liu Xianxian pouted with her small lips: "Of course I know Qin Feng can't beat Cheng Chonghong. But I'm not asking Qin Feng to fight Cheng Chonghong."

    "No more words, let me watch the show?"

    Qin Feng was somewhat speechless.

    Liu Xianxian reached out and grabbed Qin Feng's arm, and he shook his head.

    "Actually, it's like this. I can reject him on the Cloud Platform."

    "But this will make him very embarrassed, as he is the fifth disciple of his family and a member of the Eagle Society."

    "If I reject him, he'll keep bothering me. Qin Feng, can you help me? How about you pretend to be my partner?"

    Liu Xianxian turned towards Qin Feng and requested, with a face full of helplessness.
