All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

After several days of competition, she also discovered her shortcomings.

The drawbacks of focusing solely on cultivation have also become apparent.

She had previously only pursued increasing her strength, but true strength is not something that can be achieved simply by learning techniques or raising one's cultivation level.

She needs to hone her skills through combat, such as her Frost Technique.

Having cultivated to the second level, she could only use the power of that level.

During the battle, she realized that her agility was far from sufficient.

In battle, you can't even combine the Illusion Technique and the Frost Technique.

One trains speed and agility, while the other is the main attack; the two are meant to be used in combination.

After more than half a month of practical experience, she was finally able to use Frost Technique and Illusion Technique flexibly.

For the past two weeks, she has been fighting and searching for treasures during the day and cultivating at night, making no time wasted.

It was another early morning, and as soon as the sky brightened, she opened her eyes, feeling refreshed.

"He has reached the fifth stage of Foundation Establishment."

She tidied herself up a bit and continued on her way, heading deeper into the area.

She had spent most of her time in the forest and had no idea how big the secret realm was or where it ended.

She could only follow the information provided by the spirit beast and continue walking deeper into the forest.

Finally, she stopped in front of an old building.

Meanwhile, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance.

She simply walked into the crowd and stood still.

Listening to everyone's chatter, she finally understood the current situation.

This is the very center of the secret realm. Everyone comes from different places; some come from the swamp, and some come from the wasteland.

She was probably just lucky. She came from the forest and didn't encounter any high-level monsters, which she was able to handle. She also managed to avoid the ones she couldn't defeat.

The building in front of her was a pagoda.

During their journey, the treasures they acquire are limited; the real opportunities lie within the pagoda.

However, the pagoda only lets in fifty people at a time, and these fifty people are randomly selected by the pagoda.

Once selected, a beam of light will strike everyone, and they will be sucked in.

So they could only wait outside instead of rushing in.

This pagoda has three levels and occupies a huge area. I don't know what's inside, but it seems that everyone who went in must have fallen in randomly.

Otherwise, the mortality rate would be too high.

She stood quietly in the crowd and waited.

After two more groups of people went in, she was finally selected.

She felt a beam of light shine on her, warm and comforting, and then in the blink of an eye, she was in another space.

This should be the inner perimeter of the pagoda.

However, unexpectedly, these fifty people were placed in a certain place.

She suddenly felt a little incredulous.

What if someone gets the opportunity and the others try to take it?

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

wrong.

This is a world of cultivation, where is there so much fairness to speak of?

If you have the strength, then just take it. If you don't have the strength, and you can't even keep the treasure once you have it, then you're not qualified to get that opportunity.

This is a world where the strong rule; what is she thinking?

Then she stopped paying attention to the others and, while they were still looking for their companions, she took the lead and walked down a road.

Before she came in, she saw a corridor with a wall opposite and rooms on both sides.

After she came in, before she could even check what was in the room, she was suddenly drawn to the mural on the wall.

She stared at the murals on the wall, stood still, and entered a meditative state!

She felt that the mural in front of her was very mysterious, as if it contained countless great principles, and her whole soul was enveloped and roamed within it.

It's a completely new feeling, like suddenly exploring a completely unknown territory.

Surprisingly, this unknown territory felt strangely familiar; even though she knew she had never seen it before, she could understand it at a glance.

They became increasingly engrossed in watching it, unable to tear themselves away.

When she woke up again, she suddenly found a fragment of a jade slip in her hand.

She looked at it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what the jade slip was for.

However, she didn't dwell on it. Since it was given to her by the mural, she accepted it without hesitation. Perhaps this was her destiny.

Although it's just a fragmented jade slip, it might come in handy in the future.

After she put it away, when she came to her senses, she found herself back in that corridor.

But this time was different from the last. When I saw it again, there were only a few rooms in the corridor, and the murals on the walls were nowhere to be found.

She continued walking inside, looking puzzled.

She opened one of the doors, but there was nothing inside. Just as she was about to search carefully, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the next room.

She immediately abandoned her search and ran over to see what was going on.

When she went inside, she saw a group of people with their backs to her; they seemed to be surrounding someone.

There was only one person on the other side, facing off against more than twenty people on this side.

She quietly crept to the back of the crowd, intending to sneak a peek at the excitement, but then she heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Chengze, let's just take action directly and stop wasting words with him."

Who else could it be but Hai Lingruo?

Then, shouts came from the crowd.

"You little bastard! This kind of great opportunity is not something a lowly wretch like you can have. You'd better hand it over quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite."

"Exactly! Don't you even know who you are? You think you're worthy of taking something like this?"

"Hand over the stuff right now, or you'll be sorry!"

She adjusted her angle several times before she could finally see the person on the other side clearly.

It looks somewhat familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it.

It seemed the person in front of her had obtained a treasure. These shameless people wanted to steal it from her. She had no interest in such matters.

Just as I turned to leave, an annoying voice came from behind me.

"Feng Ning! What are you doing here?"

It's Hai Lingruo again. Does she have a dog's nose? How can she smell her everywhere she goes?

She turned her head and looked calmly at the crowd who had turned to stare at her.

Her gaze fixed on Hai Lingruo, and she coldly replied, "What's it to you?"

Hai Ling clenched her fists in anger, but suddenly, she put on a smile again.

"You are no longer the second young lady of the Hai family. What right do you have to speak to me like that? You are just a bastard, yet you really think you're something special."
