242: Insider rumors

On this day, not long after Qian Yunjing had just passed the trial, although the flesh and blood of one thigh had disappeared and she had not reached the """Chu"" Battle Power"

However, she could still be considered a top figure among the battle power of Humans. However, Cang Lan suddenly came to Qingyang's side.

Afterwards, the other party stared intently at Qingyang, observing him for a long time before suddenly saying, "You... have you ever snuck in?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dragon scales all over Qingyang's body bristled.

Seeing Qingyang's reaction, Cang Lan could already confirm that Qingyang had indeed snuck in, and he continued speaking.

"You haven't reached the strength required to go to the Inner Realm, but you've been down there before. Can you tell me what happened back then?"

Facing Cang Lan's inquiry, Qingyang thought for a moment and could only tell him the entire sequence of events from back then, one by one.

When Cang Lan learned that it was actually the East Sea God, who was also the East Lin City City Lord of the Inner Realm, Cang Lan's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

"How audacious! Secretly cultivating so many powerful sea Fierce Beasts in the East Sea Region before was already overstepping, and now he's even directly extended his claws over here. Since that's the case..."

As he spoke, Cang Lan looked up at Qingyang.

"Qingyang, since this guy dares to play like this, then I can also tell you some things about the Inner Realm. The Inner Realm is divided into the Five Great Powers: East, South, West, North, plus the Central Region."

"Since you've already been inside, you probably know the general idea, but what I want to tell you is that after countless years and the evolution of endless beings, the Inner Realm has now been completely finalized."

"The number of cities each power has is already fixed; you cannot change it, but you can replace them. I'll give you a task: find a way to destroy that guy in Donglin City."

Destroying the East Lin City City Lord, with Qingyang's current self, should be impossible.

The reason is also very simple: most of the City Lords in the Inner Realm are above the sixteenth stage in strength, but Qingyang himself is not sure exactly which realm it is.

Noticing Qingyang's difficulty, Cang Lan turned his head to look at the energy fluctuations of You Yue currently fighting inside the Che Di Pagoda, and he said softly, "The process of going to the Inner Realm..."

"...is called the Heavenly Change by all beings. When you enter the passage soon, you should be able to feel it; I don't need to say this. What I want to say is, the strength above the sixteenth stage, they are called..."

"...King-level, the strength that can truly cleave land and confer kingship. Most of the City Lords in those four major powers have strength around King-level Layer Six. With your strength, as long as you break through to King-level, you should be able to directly defeat the opponent and replace them."

"King-level Layer Six? What does that mean?" Qingyang asked, puzzled.

Clearly, at this moment, Qingyang had begun to learn about some strength level divisions that he didn't know about at his current realm, through Cang Lan.

To the side, Cang Lan very patiently explained the confusion to Qingyang.

"King-level is divided into nine layers. As for those few under you, it's likely that the moment they go to the Inner Realm and are touched by the Qi of Houtu, they will all break through to King-level."

"King-level seems very distant, but for you, it's within reach. Alright, there are some things I can't reveal too much. That's it. Remember, destroy the East Lin City City Lord."

Qian Yunjing passed the trial and had the flesh and blood of one thigh cut off, but this guy, You Yue, was only weakened by one arm. Clearly, his strength was quite a bit greater than Qian Yunjing's.

After You Yue completed the trial, only Qian Lanlan, Shen Ying, and Qingyang himself were left.

Because of this, Qingyang could only patiently continue waiting outside the Che Di Pagoda for the two of them to complete the trial.

Qian Lanlan thought about seeing Mao Qiu every day; her strength was not very strong, and she even had half of her body's flesh and blood cut off.

As for Shen Ying, she made Qingyang look at her with some admiration.

Because Shen Ying not only passed the third stage but even attempted the fourth stage for a few minutes before being defeated and sent out.

Looking at Shen Ying's unharmed appearance, Qingyang couldn't help but say excitedly, "Could it be, you've become """Chu""?"

But the problem was, Cang Lan in the distance didn't speak.

While Qingyang was puzzled, Shen Ying smiled and raised her hand, also resolving Qingyang's confusion.

It was seen that Shen Ying's left hand had already turned into bone. Clearly, she had not completely passed the trial.

Next, everyone present turned their gaze towards Qingyang.

Seeing this scene, Qingyang's thousand-meter-sized dragon body slowly nodded towards everyone, then he directly drilled into the Che Di Pagoda without hesitation.

Inside the dark and cold Che Di Pagoda, not long after Qingyang entered, a halo of light appeared in the distance, like an aurora.

Seeing this, Qingyang directly plunged in.

"Buzz~"

As a dazzling halo of light flashed through his eyes, the moment the halo disappeared, Qingyang had arrived in a massive space.

In a space like the primordial chaos, not far away, a giant, a thousand meters tall, with twin wings on his back, wearing silver-white battle armor, holding a strange long spear, was looking at Qingyang.

The opponent's illusory body was clearly not a physical entity. If one had to describe it, using "soul" as the adjective would be more accurate.

At this moment, the Star Lord said expressionlessly, "Withstand my first attack, and you will be qualified to know my name."

The next second, the wings behind the opponent instantly spread out, and the long spear in his hand directly thrust towards Qingyang.

Sensing the opponent's strength aura, which was only at the early sixteenth stage, Qingyang immediately muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. The strength is determined based on the strength of the challenger."

Facing the strength of an ordinary early sixteenth-stage expert, Qingyang didn't even use his innate divine abilities. He simply turned his body, and the moment his enormous dragon tail swept directly towards the opponent...

...Even though he was an illusory winged man, he was directly swept by Qingyang's dragon tail, causing his long spear to break, and his body, like a kite with a broken string, directly retreated a thousand meters and instantly turned into a swath of silver-white mist.

But the next second, the opponent's figure instantly reformed from the silver-white mist.

Then, the opponent spoke.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first stage. My name is Yangming Tanlang Tianshu Star Lord."

After saying this sentence, the opponent instantly turned back into a swath of silver-white mist and directly drilled into Qingyang's body.

Because he had previously gone to the Inner Realm, Qingyang could be said to have truly experienced the situation there.

So, immediately, Qingyang couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the gray-white Qi from the Flowing Land in the Inner Realm."

It seems these Qi are like a catalyst, currently changing Qingyang's aura to make Qingyang more compatible with, or rather, adapted to the world of the Inner Realm.

But unfortunately, the moment those Qi drilled into Qingyang's body, they only changed Qingyang's flesh and blood Qi. As for the Inner Realm Qi of the Ten-Colored Dragon Bone, it was even purer than the opponent's silver-white Inner Realm Qi.

The moment the mist entered his body, Qingyang also saw a dark passage in the distance. Knowing that it should be the entrance to the second stage, Qingyang also directly drilled in.
