169: The conditions for becoming the Palace Master of the Qiuxian Palace...

But the skin Chen De was wearing now belonged to Ren Changhao.

Chen De would not be rejected by the laws of the other world, but Ren Changhao would.

Chen De was already very familiar with what phenomena would occur.

At that moment, he also put on a truly realistic act, a standard reaction after being rejected by the laws of the other world.

After Chen De entered, his identity was verified once again.

This verification was much stricter than the one outside the gate.

However, Chen De had long anticipated this and passed easily.

After passing the final safeguard, Chen De finally obtained the official qualification to enter the Seeking Immortality Realm.

At this time, among the surrounding large formations, some of them worked together.

They created a ball of light that rushed towards Chen De.

Chen De did not resist, allowing the light ball to hit him.

As the light ball gradually merged into Chen De's body, the influence of the otherworld's law rejection also gradually disappeared.

This was one of the methods of Qiu Xian Hall, capable of eliminating the effects brought by the rejection of otherworld laws.

Chen De could not be entirely sure if this was a method of a Heavenly Imperial Realm martial artist, or merely something produced by a formation.

Chen De felt that the former was more likely.

As the light ball merged into his body, Chen De carefully sensed its function.

Tracking and positioning, identity detection, controllable bomb, puppet…

There were indeed many functions!

The methods of these high-realm martial artists still contained many things Chen De could not imagine.

Especially these formations, with Chen De's current attainments, he simply couldn't understand them at all.

Speaking of formations, Chen De suddenly had another good idea.

If this matter succeeded, Chen De's future operational efficiency and speed would greatly increase.

Indeed, knowledge is priceless.

It seemed Chen De needed to find a few more people with attainments in formations and thoroughly soul-search them.

The surrounding formations also opened a narrow passage for Chen De, wide enough for only him to pass through.

The passage opening also had a fixed duration, usually around 0.1 seconds.

This given time, all in all, was quite long.

If there were truly ill-intentioned individuals, such a long time would be quite dangerous.

Fortunately, Chen De was not an ill-intentioned person, nor would he do bad things.

In his life, Chen De had done all good deeds.

He did everything, just not bad things!

Then, Chen De left the formation's focal point in such an open and upright manner.

Upon entering, Chen De used the system map to detect the strength and distribution of nearby powerhouses.

There was a Heavenly Imperial Realm existence inside, but Chen De was unsure if the other party was the Hall Master of Qiu Xian Hall.

After all, no one stipulated that a faction could only have one Heavenly Imperial Realm.

What if the other party was some Grand Elder hidden by Qiu Xian Hall?

As for the surrounding Void Union Realm cultivators, there were even more, and several of them, even Chen De as he was now, were not their opponents.

Chen De's current cultivation was at the first level of both Demon Domain Realm and Golden Phase Realm, with combat power comparable to a fourth-level Demon Domain Realm.

But here, there was more than one powerhouse in the late Void Union Realm.

Most critically, if he made a move here, Chen De would likely be beaten to the point where he had nowhere to run.

Fortunately, Chen De came here just to observe, not to cause trouble.

Nor was he here to enlighten people and expand the Holy Mother Sect.

Upon arriving here, what Chen De urgently wanted to know was information about dual cultivation methods.

From Chen De's current perspective, Qiu Xian Hall definitely had dual cultivation methods, he just didn't know how to get his hands on them.

Then, Chen De rushed to the location of the Scripture Pavilion within the Seeking Immortality Realm.

There, Chen De finally learned a lot of information about dual cultivation methods.

The only thing Chen De hadn't expected was that dual cultivation methods required at least core-level disciples to exchange for.

Calculating the time, it wouldn't be long before Chen De could also become a core disciple.

With Chen De's abilities, passing a small assessment task would be a piece of cake.

During this time, Chen De planned to first conduct research on formation placement.

And incidentally, scout for disciples who also had significant achievements in the path of formations.

How could learning it himself be as fast as getting it for free?

Chen De was not someone who liked to freeload, but reality forced him to become someone who freeloaded.

So, every day that followed, Chen De went nowhere.

He plunged headfirst into the Scripture Pavilion of Qiu Xian Hall.

Every day, he researched data, algorithms, designed blueprints...

He worked for several days, but with no results.

Chen De was very clear about this.

It usually takes years to research a genuine achievement.

Finally, with Chen De's efforts, he understood.

People, after all, still need to stand on the shoulders of giants.

He needed to find a way to capture a few formation masters and learn their knowledge through benevolent means.

Otherwise, if Chen De relied on his own research to make breakthroughs, he didn't know how long it would take.

At this moment, Chen De heard a lot of communication from the people around him.

Curious, he listened in.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"The Pingxian Continent, which was just unified with great difficulty by True Disciple Lin, has been split again by True Disciple Zhang, and they're busy merging it now."

"True Disciple Zhang, is that the one from the Baixian Continent?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"How can that be? His Baixian Continent hasn't even finished unifying yet, has it? How could he move against other continents so quickly?"

"What do you know? Preventing others is also a disguised way of strengthening oneself.

Can you guarantee that True Disciple Lin hasn't arranged anything on True Disciple Zhang's Baixian Continent?"

"What about True Disciple Li's Wangxian Continent? It seems there's always very little news about Wangxian Continent!"

"Such a good opportunity, won't he get involved?"

"You wouldn't know this, but another True Disciple has just been promoted in the Hall.

Coincidentally, he chose the Wangxian Continent.

Now, True Disciple Li is busy dealing with this newly promoted True Disciple.

He's been tied up, otherwise, this would indeed be a good opportunity."

"Ah, speaking of this, Senior Brother Zhang is the most difficult to deal with.

Among the three continents, the indigenous forces of Baixian Continent are the strongest.

And those natives are extremely cunning; they just don't engage in frontal combat.

They harass Senior Brother Zhang every few days, and the territory he just acquired is lost again to those natives in the blink of an eye.

This is why Senior Brother Zhang had no choice but to focus his efforts on other continents."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the slave city outside has collected a batch of good indigenous slaves. Shall we go take a look?"

"These natives, their appearance is the same as ours, but unfortunately... their hearts must be different!"

"Speaking of slaves, I heard that a batch of female slaves who were recently sent here have escaped. They say each of them is very beautiful.

When they left, they also took many other slaves with them, and no one knows where they went."

"They won't get far. This kind of slave rebellion has happened before."

"The entire world is in our Qiu Xian Hall's hands, where can they run to?"

...

Chen De listened to their words, extracting useful clues.

As for those three continents, they were related to the selection criteria for the Qiu Xian Hall Master...
