Before long, Su Changqing had reached the ninety-ninth level.

He maintained his pace, not drawing too much attention.

This first challenge posed almost no pressure for him.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, most of the martialists had gradually passed the first challenge.

Originally, there were thousands of martialists, but now only seven or eight hundred remained, with the weakest among them being at the Late Mortal Transformation Realm.

The first challenge had already eliminated the majority.

Su Changqing saw that Bai Ruochu and Zhao Kai had also smoothly passed the first challenge.

After all, both of them were at the Wheel Sea Realm, so it wasn't surprising they could pass the first challenge.

After passing the first challenge, everyone arrived at a secret passage, facing endless darkness.

Just as everyone was feeling relieved for passing the first challenge, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away.

"What’s that sound?"

Lei Keming's eyes showed a hint of seriousness, his intuition telling him it wasn't simple.

Li Muxi's pupils contracted under her mask.

"Not good!"

The next moment, she hurriedly ran back.

Everyone else was still confused.

"Not good, spi... spiders, they're all spiders."

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, seeing rows of black spiders frantically swarming towards them.

The black spiders varied in size, with the tallest being four or five meters high and the shortest over a meter tall, their bodies pitch black, eyes dark green, countless and densely packed.

In an instant, everyone panicked.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The leading black spiders launched an attack first, and many martialists were taken out before they could react.

Lei Keming's face turned grim instantly.

"Damn it, we have to take these bastards down, or else forget about the secret realm rewards, we won't even leave here alive."

Lei Keming charged out first, and seeing this, the martialists behind him followed suit.

Su Changqing concealed himself within the crowd, revealing only his Peak Mortal Transformation strength.

Although the number of spiders was considerable, the strongest among them were only at the Dharma Form Realm, posing no real threat to him.

He had no intention of actively seeking out those Dharma Form Realm spiders.

Staying low was the way to go.

As for those Dharma Form spiders, he left them to the others.

In the narrow secret passage, the sounds of battle were incessant, but Su Changqing handled it with ease.

After half an hour, all the spiders present were completely slain.

Lei Keming was covered in a murderous aura, dark green blood staining him all over.

He alone had slain five Dharma Form spiders, proving his strength was indeed formidable.

Among the martialists present, originally numbering seven or eight hundred, only a little over a hundred remained, the rest having died at the hands of the spiders.

After all, the number of spiders was too great and they came too suddenly, making it difficult to retreat in the secret passage.

As a result, many died.

Among the remaining hundred or so, all were martialists above the Wheel Sea Realm.

Except for Su Changqing, almost all the Mortal Transformation martialists were dead.

"Let's go!"

Lei Keming, exuding a thick killing intent, said calmly.

He stepped out first, heading towards the exit of the secret passage ahead of everyone.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed, fearing to fall behind, while Su Changqing continued to hide among the crowd as they exited the passage.

Before long, they emerged from the dark passage to find themselves in front of a grand palace.

This palace was extremely luxurious, with two large ancient characters inscribed above: "Alchemy Hall"!

Indeed.

The owner of this palace was an Emperor Realm alchemist.

Everyone's eyes lit up, filled with intense excitement.

An alchemist!

The owner of this secret realm was actually an alchemist!!

This was a huge opportunity, absolutely huge.

Throughout the Tianwu Continent, for martialists, the wealthiest profession was undoubtedly that of an alchemist.

The value of a high-grade pill was exorbitantly high.

In fact, countless people would go to great lengths to befriend a high-grade alchemist.

Therefore, the wealth possessed by high-grade alchemists was astonishingly vast.

"Fantastic."

Lei Keming's eyes gleamed with intense greed.

Looking at the palace before him, it seemed like a massive treasure trove.

And he was the one to open it.

"It's full of treasures in there, charge!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately everyone lost their reason, rushing inside frantically.

Lei Keming and Li Muxi were no exception.

As the two strongest among those present, they naturally had a desire to claim these resources.

In an instant, over a hundred martialists madly dashed towards the palace.

[Ding! Alchemy Hall detected]

[Option 1: Be a passerby, just look around, take nothing. Reward: Good Person Aura]

[Option 2: Take everything, leave not a single bronze chest. Reward: Mind Enslavement (Emperor-grade Divine Ability)]

Mind Enslavement: Can control the opponent's mind, ensuring loyalty.

Seeing the description of Mind Enslavement, Su Changqing smiled.

This was an excellent tool for controlling minds.

"I choose two."

Fing hell, what is there to hesitate about, definitely choose two.

He wanted the treasures inside, and he wouldn't miss out on the system's reward either.

Heh heh.

Su Changqing walked in slowly.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

Inside the palace, chaos had already erupted over the treasures.

The vast palace was filled with all kinds of pills, and at the front were three bronze chests, the contents of which were unknown, but undoubtedly extremely precious.

Li Muxi and Lei Keming both targeted these three chests.

The two were in a standoff over these three bronze chests.

"Li Muxi, these three bronze chests are mine. I advise you to leave early, or else I'll take you down too."

Lei Keming's eyes showed a hint of cruelty.

He wasn't alone; he had over a dozen Lei Family disciples behind him, including two with Dharma Form strength and over a dozen with Wheel Sea strength. How could a mere Li Muxi be his match?

However, facing the bronze chests, Li Muxi had no intention of backing down.

As one of the candidates for the Saintess, the pressure she faced was immense.

Only by continuously improving her strength and proving her worth could she stand out.

Otherwise, she would become a skeleton, a stepping stone for others to rise.

She stared coldly at Lei Keming, the aura beneath her mask icy.

"Impossible!"

Impossible?

Lei Keming's lips curled into an amused smile.

"Is that so? Looks like you won't take the easy way out."

"They say the three candidate Saintesses of the Charm Demon Sect are stunningly beautiful. I want to see just how beautiful you are. I'll take care of you right here today."

As he spoke, a lewd smile appeared on Lei Keming's face.

He wanted the woman, and he wanted the treasures too.

After all, he was strong, who would dare have any objections?
