658: Chapter 658 May 8th!

Qin Yan snapped back to his senses and solemnly cupped his hands toward Jiang Li, his voice carrying sincere gratitude.

This news was simply too important for him.

Although the other party wasn't certain if the news was true or false, Qin Yan felt it was likely genuine.

"No need for thanks."

Jiang Li waved her hand, a relaxed smile appearing on her face.

Sharing this news with Qin Yan cost her nothing.

After all, she personally hadn't obtained the qualification to enter the Cangwu Small World—though her team contribution wasn't low, there was still a significant gap between her and the top ten.

Access rights to the Cangwu Small World were rewards for those top-tier teams. She was not among them.

By telling Qin Yan, she could also win his favor. Why not do it?

Afterward, the two spoke for a while longer before going their separate ways.

After all, in the Taixuan Holy Land, the competitive pressure among these Disciples was immense.

Everyone around them was cultivating desperately; no one dared to slack off.

If you rested for an extra moment today, you might be overtaken by someone else tomorrow.

The Inner Court assessment was just a beginning; the true competition had only just raised its curtain.

Upon returning to his Immortal Cave, Qin Yan immediately began checking information regarding the Cangwu Small World without pause.

He sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, sinking his Mental Energy into the token to find detailed records of the Cangwu Small World.

There was a lot of information on the Cangwu Small World, and it took Qin Yan a long time to digest all the content.

The Cangwu Small World was, first and foremost, a Small World in terms of grade.

A Small World meant its scale was far inferior to the great worlds within the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, yet it was not something that Secret Realms or Immortal Caves could compare to.

It possessed complete laws, a complete System, and a complete civilizational Legacy.

The strongest individuals within the Cangwu Small World were Ninth-Grade Venerables.

A Ninth-Grade Venerable was an existence capable of crossing the Void Realm with their Physical Body and moving mountains or filling seas with a mere gesture.

However, now, the Ninth-Grade Venerables of this world had already been captured by the experts of the Holy Land.

Those who could submit did so; those who could not were exterminated.

The same applied to the Eighth-Rank Grandmasters.

Those existences standing at the apex of the Cangwu Small World's pyramid had now either become captives of the Holy Land, subordinates of the Holy Land, or had already suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

At this moment, the entire Cangwu Small World could be described as a chaotic mess.

With the Eighth and Ninth Rank experts vanishing into thin air, those Seventh-Grade Grandmasters who were originally suppressed below them took the opportunity to become regional overlords!

Losing the constraints of top-level rulers, the various major forces within the Cangwu Small World began to fight and slaughter one another, seizing territory, competing for resources, and settling old grudges.

The order that was once relatively stable collapsed completely overnight.

The entire world fell into a bloody storm.

...

[Note: It is best not to go to the Cangwu Small World in the near future.]

This was the last line of text regarding the Cangwu Small World in the token, written in a red font that was exceptionally eye-catching.

"So chaotic, so chaotic."

After reading the information, Qin Yan couldn't help but frown and rub his temples.

He now understood why the Holy Land had specifically written a note.

If their batch of Disciples entered and accidentally encountered a Grandmaster expert, the probability of death would reach ninety-nine percent.

Even the most trashy Grandmaster, the weakest of the weak, would have a base Qi and blood reaching over three million calories—which was more than double Qin Yan's current Qi and blood.

Moreover, Grandmaster experts also mastered Martial Dao Domains.

Once a Domain was opened, everything within it was subject to their control.

The power of heaven and earth was used for their benefit, while the enemy's strength was suppressed.

Furthermore, Grandmasters also possessed Golden Bodies.

Once the Golden Body emerged, defensive power, attack power, and recovery power would all explode, as if the person had changed into a different form.

Even for the most monstrous Prodigy, for a sixth grade Late Stage to want to defeat a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster was as difficult as ascending to the heavens—it wasn't impossible, but the possibility was minuscule.

Prodigies like Qin Yan, Long Aotian, and Lin Ruoxi might be able to hold their own or even triumph against a Half-step Grandmaster, but facing a true Grandmaster was still an insurmountable chasm.

Moreover, as people from another world and those who had invaded the Cangwu Small World, these Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land were completely out of place with that world's aura!

The native inhabitants of the Cangwu Small World were extremely sensitive to their auras.

Once they entered the Cangwu Small World, they would be marked by the world itself.

That mark was like a bright lamp, illuminating their positions and exposing their auras.

When the time came, many native residents would harbor deep hostility toward them and even take the initiative to come looking for them.

"This is simply a death dungeon."

Qin Yan lamented.

"However, looking at it this way, the news Jiang Li mentioned is very likely true."

After reading all the information on the Cangwu Small World, a judgment gradually formed in Qin Yan's heart.

The Holy Land specifically left this Small World and didn't completely subdue it, instead allowing it to fall into chaos—no matter how you looked at it, this seemed intentional.

They cleared out all the high-level Venerables and Great Grandmasters, leaving behind Grandmasters and lower-level Martial Artists, letting the entire Small World fall into a state of leaderless infighting.

Then, they would release these Prodigy Disciples into it.

Wasn't this a ready-made trial ground?

There was danger—Grandmaster experts were still present, and a slight lapse could lead to one's demise.

There was opportunity—the world's Origin was still there, and whoever could take it, owned it.

There was competition—every single one of the Disciples who obtained the qualification to enter was not someone to be trifled with.

This was clearly a major examination meticulously arranged by the Holy Land.

"It seems I'll have to pay frequent attention to information about the Cangwu Small World from now on."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

He needed to closely monitor the changes in the world's situation—which forces were clashing, which Grandmasters had fallen, where resource points were discovered, and where the situation was relatively stable—this information was all related to his strategy and actions after entering.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Afterward, Qin Yan temporarily suppressed these thoughts, picked up his long spear, and continued his training.

...

Qin Yan withdrew his thoughts and stopped overthinking.

Thinking too much now was useless.

What he needed to do now was—continuously improve his strength.

The stronger his strength, the safer he would be in the Cangwu Small World.

The stronger his strength, the greater the probability of obtaining the world's Origin.

"Cultivate."

Qin Yan picked up the moyuan spirit weapon and continued training.

As the long spear danced, spear shadows layered upon each other, and the sound of breaking air rose and fell. The first grade Destruction Spear Intent flickered on the spear tip, and the dark gray light of destruction pulsed in the cultivation room.

Training knew no time, and hours quietly slipped away amidst the dancing of the spear tip.

Soon, half a month passed.

The time came to May 8th.
